Chapter 217: Compassion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Qingcheng’s beauty was ethereal and timeless, but the same could not be said about Mu Wanrou. The latter could not even hold a candle to the former’s little finger.
Hence, when Mu Wanrou was a teenager, Mu Sheng did another DNA test on her.
She somehow caught wind of this matter and hurriedly bought off the Department of Genetics to tamper with the DNA test result. Mu Sheng was kept in the dark regarding this and could only lament the permanent loss of Mu Qingcheng’s beauty.
Mu Yazhe, who knew the truth, got a hold of the real DNA test result before Mu Wanrou could have it falsified. He got proof that she was a fraud.
The pathetic Mu Wanrou had been penny-wise and pound-foolish.
She thought that a simple doctoring of the result could put wool over everyone’s eyes and hide her identity so she could continue with her masquerade as Mu Qingcheng’s daughter.
She had underestimated Mu Yazhe, however. The man had seen all kinds of conspiracies and gone through numerous bloodsheds brought about by wealth since young.
Power, money, fights, dirty schemes, and plots – he had seen them all; Mu Wanrou could not be his match.
Mu Sheng was old, and though it was true that experience begot wisdom, he was at the stage where he could only be considered as senile.
This was not true for his grandson, though. Mu Yazhe was not at all senile, so while she managed to fool the grandfather, the grandson was not tricked by her in the least.
However, she alone was insufficient to flash his trump card.
Suspecting a bigger plot behind her ploy, he continued to bide his time by maintaining a low profile.
Grandmaster Mu was getting on in years and was only Disheng Financial Group’s president in name. While he was its largest shareholder, he was no longer involved in its operations. All matters were left for his most-trusted grandson to handle, as he wanted to enjoy his remaining days in peace.
He was getting old with every passing day, after all, so it was inevitable for someone to eye the inheritance rights to the consortium in his hands.
Although Mu Yazhe was the rightful heir and the one whom Grandmaster Mu had chosen to lead the household in the future, that did not mean the rest would accept this arrangement willingly.
Mu Sheng had three wives. Mu Liancheng was born by his first wife, and Mu Yazhe was the only son of Mu Liancheng and Jiang Yishan. This did not mean that there were no other potential heirs in the Mu family!
With his grandfather’s health deteriorating, those eyeing Mu Yazhe’s inheritance were starting to grow restless!
Women were usually sacrificed in a royal bloodbath.
Mu Yazhe contemplated for quite a while upon receiving Yun Shishi’s identity report.
It was true that the missing mistress was her. Mu Wanrou was just a fake. In this case, the identity as Mu Qingcheng’s daughter should be returned to its rightful owner.
This also meant that Yun Shishi was his real fiancée. He had seen a picture of the young Mu Qingcheng, and Yun Shishi was a carbon copy of her.
In fact, Grandmaster Mu could easily determine who was real and fake by presenting Mu Wanrou and Yun Shishi to him at the same time. One look was enough. No explanation, argument, or even an identity report was needed.
Yun Shishi had inherited Mu Qingcheng’s otherworldly beauty and profound classiness. This was the best evidence.
He did not do that, however, as he felt a rare sense of compassion for her.
