Madam Shu was there to act as a mediator for Qi Mo.
Qi Mo was indeed a good man, but the better he was, the less Mu Yin Yin wanted him to be influenced.
How many mother-in-laws in the world could truly be unconcerned?
Most importantly, she no longer had any thoughts about love or marriage.
Therefore, she also made her stance clear, "Grandma, I consider him a friend. The engagement should be called off according to my wishes. Ai Mi, who is by his side, is excellent.
If Qi Mo and Ai Mi are together, they would be a perfect match.
Seeing that Mu Yin Yin was still considering others, Madam Shu could only smile helplessly, "Oh, you child. Grandma is afraid you will be too tired all by yourself."
Otherwise, even with the Shu family's vast wealth and her own capabilities, there would be no need to worry about money.
Mu Yin Yin smiled gently, "How could I be tired? I'll work when I should, and rest when I should. You don't need to worry about this, Grandma. As for Shu Yu, if he sincerely repents, he might have a chance for a reduced sentence."
Mu Yin Yin actually knew what the old madam was thinking.
No matter what mistakes Shu Yu had made, he was, after all, a descendant of the Shu family.
How could the old madam, at eighty years old, not be heartbroken to experience such a thing?
"Yin Yin, you are truly a good child. If we had found you earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer so much, nor would you have rushed into marriage."
With that, Madam Shu sighed deeply, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Which of the Shu family's children had a wedding that wasn't grand and glorious? Yet her own granddaughter had been secretly married to Fu Si Ye for three years!
The Fu family wasn't poor, so were they stingy enough to refuse to hold a wedding?
Ultimately, it was because they didn't take Mu Yin Yin to heart.
If they did, the situation of a secret marriage wouldn't have happened.
Thinking of Fu Si Ye, Madam Shu became furious. "I see there's still some connection after your divorce. If he tries to find you again, you are not allowed to see him anymore!"
Madam Shu clearly stated her position, a hint of fierceness flashing in her eyes.
At that moment, she was certain of one thing: the harm and influence Fu Si Ye had caused Mu Yin Yin, and his neglect of her, all of it she had to help Mu Yin Yin reclaim!
Otherwise, outsiders would truly laugh at their Shu family, saying they were useless and only had a reputation.
Although she divorced Fu Si Ye, divorce did not mean they were enemies, especially since they had ongoing collaborations.
She couldn't possibly sever all contact with Fu Si Ye.
She did not want to hide anything from anyone, so she frankly stated her attitude towards Fu Si Ye, while also supporting the old lady as she slowly walked to the sofa and sat down, then spoke in a calm, gentle voice, "Grandma, I understand what you're saying, but Fu Si Ye and I still have many ongoing collaborations."
Unexpectedly, Madam Shu spoke domineeringly, her eyes filled with a deep ferocity, "Terminate the contract! Whatever the compensation on the contract, we'll pay it. Our Shu family is not lacking in money! We'd rather lose money than have you cooperate with someone like Fu Si Ye. What if he uses some trickery and deceives you again?"
"Before, you were just an ordinary rich young lady, but now you are the eldest legitimate daughter of our Shu family. How can the children of our Shu family endure such indignity?"
Mu Yin Yin couldn't help but laugh at Madam Shu's words.
At the same time, she felt a sense of warmth and care that she hadn't felt in a long time.
This was the unique warmth of family.
She leaned her head on Madam Shu's shoulder, "Grandma, I know you care about me, but I have this collaboration under control. After the collaboration ends, you can say we won't cooperate, but why would we terminate a contract mid-process? If we can avoid losing money, let's not lose money."
"We are businessmen. Businessmen don't do losing trades!"
Hearing Mu Yin Yin say this, Madam Shu was very satisfied, her face beaming with smiles, "As expected of my Shu family's child. Good, we'll do as you say. But you must remember what Grandma told you, don't get involved with Fu Si Ye again. After you finish your work this week, Grandma wants to hold a grand family recognition banquet for you."
Although the news of the Shu family's legitimate daughter being found had spread throughout Country E, a recognition banquet was an essential step.
She also wanted to invite reporters to broadcast it live, to tell the whole world that Mu Yin Yin was a child of the Shu family, a princess cherished by the Shu family!
Mu Yin Yin found Madam Shu's intentions overwhelming.
Meanwhile, at the Qi family's castle.
Madam Shu personally relayed the message to Madam Qi. Upon learning it was Mu Yin Yin's wish, Madam Qi immediately prepared to go and speak with Mu Yin Yin to clarify things.
However, Qi Mo stopped her.
"Don't go to her, it won't change anything," Qi Mo's expression was tinged with sadness, and his entire face was etched with bitterness.
What parents in the world didn't dote on their children?
Seeing Qi Mo's expression, Madam Qi's heart felt as if it were being cut by a thousand knives, and her voice choked with emotion, "How can it not change anything? As long as I state my attitude, and she and I talk things through, I can even draw up a formal agreement. That way, she will believe me, and you two can be happy together and live a lifetime. If you are worried that your father and I will affect you, we can live separately, live our own lives."
You see, this was what parents were like. Madam Qi had truly considered everything for him, but for Qi Mo, it was as painful as it could get.
He truly hadn't expected his mother to be willing to humble herself to this extent for him.
But then again, how could he bear to see his mother debase herself like this for him?
"No, from the time I've spent interacting with her, I understand her very well. If she doesn't want something, no amount of talking will change her mind. Mom, I know you're considering me, but I respect her choice." Qi Mo gave a gentle smile, appearing to have let go.
But Madam Qi knew very well how much pain Qi Mo was in.
Seeing her son like this, Madam Qi couldn't bear to poke at his wounds any further.
She thought that Qi Mo should rest well for a while, calm his emotions, and then she would find Mu Yin Yin for a good talk.
However, Ai Mi's family showed up.
Father Ai clearly stated his position to Madam Qi and Qi Yuan, with a particularly serious expression in his eyes, "The annulment of the engagement has caused quite a stir, and I know it has brought a lot of impact to the Qi family. We are willing to step forward, and Ai Mi's feelings for Qi Mo have been evident to us elders since childhood."
