Just when Mu Zixuan and Matriarch Mu thought that Mu Huan would let Bai Xuexian off, Mu Huan suddenly reached out and grabbed Mu Zixuan by his throat.

With her strong grip on him, Mu Zixuan’s face instantly turned blue as he was choked!

Matriarch Mu stood up in alarm. “Mu Huan, what are you doing?!”

Mu Zixuan was extremely terrified. His heart almost stopped, and he felt like he was going to die from suffocation in the next second!

“Mu Huan, let go of him right now!” Matriarch Mu screamed.

Just as Matriarch Mu was about to dash over, Mu Huan released him from her grip.

Mu Zixuan instantly took in deep breaths of air. The feeling of being able to breathe was amazing!

“I could have let you die earlier, but I let you live. The kindness has been returned, and that clears the favors on both sides,” Mu Huan said nonchalantly.

Mu Zixuan: “…!”

Matriarch Mu: “…!”

Did people count favors in this manner?!

A while later…

“Sis, you can’t be like this…” Wasn’t she someone who was always filled with gratitude? Why did she become like this?!

“Xiao Huan, you are going too far!” Matriarch Mu said sternly.

Mu Huan shrugged her shoulders. “I do not think I went overboard.”

“You used to be a devoted and loyal child. Why did you become this way?!” Matriarch Mu said with a broken heart.

“Why did I become this way? Grandma, why don’t you tell me why I became this way?” Mu Huan retorted.

Matriarch Mu: “…”

Mu Huan did not wait for her to respond as she turned to Mu Zixuan and asked, “Did it feel horrible, not being able to breathe earlier?”

Mu Zixuan was speechless. His heart was still laced with a lingering fear over what had happened earlier.

“That was how your mom treated my granny. She probably had done something else as well when I was not around.”

Mu Zixuan: “…”

“After she had been removed from her position as the hospital’s director and could no longer threaten my granny, I did not plan to do anything against her. It didn’t matter when you guys exonerated her. But she still did something like this again! If her plan had succeeded, do you both know what kind of consequences there could have been?!

“If that had happened, you all would have been finished as well!”

“Sis, I know what my mom did was very wrong and could have caused extremely severe consequences. I will definitely make her realize her mistake and ensure that she will never do anything that will jeopardize you in any way again!” Mu Zixuan said.

“Ensure? What will you use to ensure that?” Mu Huan paused for a moment before continuing, “To ensure that my status as Mrs. Bao is stable so that I can continue to bring more benefits to the Mu family, the two of you have definitely warned her before and forbade her to do anything to me. But she still did it in the end, and during Grandma’s birthday banquet no less. So, do your warnings even work at all?”

Mu Zixuan: “…”

Matriarch Mu: “…”

“I do not believe that you two can stop her from trying to come for me. But I believe that Bao Junyan can. Therefore, I will never let her off!”

Mu Huan looked at Matriarch Mu as she said, “Grandma, I am actually doing this for the good of the Mu family. You know Bai Xuexian’s personality better than I do. The moment she is let off, she will not be reflecting on this. Instead, she will just think of ways to kill me. Is that something you want? If she does something next time that can’t be salvaged and implicates the Mu family as well, will you be able to bear it?”

Matriarch Mu, who initially did not want to save Bai Xuexian, didn’t want to save her even more now. She knew that it would be like what Mu Huan had said. If Bai Xuexian managed to escape this, she would only be thinking of even more ruthless ways to deal with Mu Huan next time.

Mu Huan turned her head toward Mu Zixuan. “I know I owe you a favor. If you are adamant about me letting your mom off, then you can consider that I’ve returned the favor to you earlier. If you choose to not say anything else and leave, I will return this favor to you another time.”
