Teacher Daxiang, let’s form a lifelong band!

"Hello, Mu." The little girl's father greeted you.

[The other person initiated a conversation with you. Through the conversation, you learned that this person claimed to have a good relationship with your father in the past, and now he wants to find you a job for his daughter.]

"Mu, I had a good relationship with your father when I was young, and we are all relatives. Can you find a suitable position for my daughter in the Ruoye family business?" the other person asked you.

"Of course, she doesn't need a particularly good position. She just graduated from college, and it's not easy to find a job in the market right now. Instead of letting her work somewhere she doesn't know, I think it would be better for her to work near you. At least we are relatives, right?"

【...】

You glanced at the little girl in front of you. She was very cute and dressed very fashionably. You were silent for a moment, and you didn't rush to agree immediately.

"Uncle, please leave me your contact information. I'll go back and see if there's a suitable position for her."

You knew you couldn't just refuse outright in this situation, so you decided to go home and consult your father, Ruoye.

So, after returning home, you took the initiative to ask your father about it, and after you asked, your father gave his answer.

"That man and I did have a good relationship when we were young, but Mu, you are now the helmsman of the Ruoye family. Lu Li and I handed these assets over to you, which means they are yours. You are now the actual owner of these assets. Whether you want to keep that little girl and what position you want to give her is entirely up to you."

"Maintaining the Wakaba family's network of connections is indeed your responsibility, but Mu, you also need to learn to make your own judgments on these matters. Do you understand?"

Your father didn't give you a real answer. He emphasized that you and Lu Li are the future masters of your lineage, and that you must have your own opinions.

After listening to your father's explanation, you contacted your father's distant relative the next day and rejected him.

"Sorry, uncle, I don't have any suitable position for her right now."

[Of course there are positions, but you don't trust these distant relatives, even your father's. Your mission is to protect the Ruoye family's assets, and you don't want to take any risks.]

“I see. I understand…”

[After knowing your answer, the other party hung up the phone in silence.]

You thought this was the end of it.

[But what I didn't expect was that a few days later, the little girl took the initiative to find you. ]

"Sister Mu, I've always admired you. Can't you just give me a chance? I'll do great! Companies out there are so ruthless these days. Sister Mu, please help me. I can start from the bottom!"

[The little girl seems to have gotten your contact information from her father.]

"Sister Mu, we're all from the same family. Can you please help me out a bit?"

[She begs you again and again. She visits your home every now and then, bringing small gifts. She says she's a fan of your band and really likes you.]

You softened your heart and couldn't resist the other person's constant persuasion. After checking her resume, you discovered that this girl was indeed a good talent with excellent academic performance. You thought about it and realized that this situation would happen again in the future. Why not let this girl stay with you this time and try it out? If she performs well, everything will be fine. If not, you can use this as an excuse to prevent other people from applying for positions with you in the future.

[So, you kept the little girl and arranged a low-level position for her.]

The little girl had no objection to your arrangement. She had worked her way up from the bottom. She wasn't a bad person; she was hardworking and capable. After a while, she slowly gained a foothold in the company you had arranged for her.

[There's nothing wrong with this attempt, you've got a good employee.]

Although there were no issues with this attempt, it did cause quite a stir. The news of you arranging jobs for distant relatives spread around. (The following appears to be unrelated text fragments and should likely be omitted.)

"All you have to do is ask Wakaba Mu to find a suitable position for your children."

[Such rumors began to spread slowly, and then, more relatives found you...]

Volume 1: Chapter 122: Mu, you don't want to...

【As the rumor spread.】

More people have found you.

[“Mu, I’m your father’s (mother’s) friend, I’m your XX relative, I even saw you when you were a child…”]

These people use the same old language to get close to you.

They want to place their children with you, just like the little girl before. After all, everyone knows that as long as they stay with you, their niece's future will be full of light.

[These people come to visit one after another when your fiancé and your parents are not around. You look at their faces and you really want them to get out of your house.]

【But you can't do it. 】

"Mu, you've already given that so-and-so a chance. We're all relatives, so why don't you give my child one, too?"

"Mu, we are all blood relatives. How can you favor one over the other?"

"Mu, my daughter is no worse than that guy. Why don't you let her try?"

These relatives, who came from nowhere, tried every possible means. They knew you were different from your fiancé, and different from your parents. You were easily soft-hearted, or, in other words, easily bullied. You wouldn't curse, you wouldn't drive them away. If they asked you for help, you would at least give their children a chance.

[And the facts were just as they thought. You finally agreed and took in the children of these so-called "relatives."]

[But fortunately, you didn't lose your mind. You placed all the people you accepted at the bottom. You thought that even if they tried to do something, given their low-level situation, it shouldn't be a big problem.]

【However......】

[However, you still underestimated the inferiority of people, or rather, you underestimated the shamelessness of these people.]

[Not everyone is as kind-hearted as the family that first found your little girl. In fact, most of the so-called relatives who heard about it later are not good people.]

[A few months later, without your knowledge, problems may arise in several companies under Ye's name, with accounts not matching, large amounts of cash missing, and even tax evasion.]

After learning this, you immediately went to the companies involved to inquire about the situation. The question left you completely stunned.

[So, this was all the work of those relatives you arranged.]

After you assigned them to the corresponding companies, they didn't work honestly like the first little girl did as you expected. Instead, they went astray.

"Do you know how I got here? My sister is Wakaba Mu!"

[“I’m from the Wakaba family, understand?”]

"My last name is Mori, the Mori as in Mori Minami."

"Do you know who my dad is?!"

Under your name, these people are doing all sorts of dirty tricks in the company. Although they don't hold high positions, because of their status, few people in the company can control them. As a result, they begin to abuse their power for personal gain.

Naturally, the company would suffer losses as a result of this, but because they formed cliques, you were initially unaware of the losses. By the time you learned about them, these people had drained the company's cash and fled, leaving behind only a mess.

After learning all this, you were furious, so you planned to call the police and have all these inhuman relatives thrown into jail. But just then, these relatives came to visit again.

[Still, when your fiancé and your parents were away, those relatives you had planted came to your home, accompanied by their elders. As soon as they met, they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, weeping bitterly. They said they knew they were wrong and that they just wanted to live a good life. They had no intention of harming your business.]

"Mu, look at my daughter. She just graduated from college this year. Please, don't call the police. If you do, her life will be ruined. You're such a kind person, and your family isn't short of money. Can you please spare us this time?"

[These people kneel down and kowtow to you hypocritically, using all kinds of language to coerce or please you.]

"When you watch this, you really want them to get out. You know these people have no remorse at all, they just don't want to go to jail."

Even though you knew everything, when you saw these people begging for mercy, you still softened your heart, because you are Ruoye Mu. Before, you didn't dare to say no to your parents, and now you still can't bear to let these "relatives" who are not human beings go to jail and work on sewing machines.

"You...get out of my house, and never let me see any of you again!"

[These people are really despicable. They always choose to look for you when your fiancé and your parents are not at home because they know that you are not as difficult to deal with as your fiancé and your parents.]

【...】

These people left with great gratitude.

But after they leave, they leave you with a mess.

All three companies are in deficit, with substantial losses on their books. Add to that the tax evasion issues, and conservatively, you'll need to cover a staggering amount of money you can't even afford on your own.

[Of course, you're more concerned about something else than the money you lost. That's what would happen to your fiancé if he knew all this.]

[You know very well that with Lu Li's personality, he definitely won't blame you.]

[But the deficit is real. Your parents will definitely blame you, and to protect you, Lu Li will definitely take it all on. Then he will do more to help you make up for the deficit. In this way, Lu Li might return to his original state. But now his health is not good. If he goes back to the beginning, he will definitely not be able to hold on.]

[Also, if Lu Li knew you did this, would he be disappointed in you? ]

【...】

You decided to keep all this a secret.

【So, you found your two good friends. 】

"Soyo, Xiangzi, can you lend me some money?" You told your two friends the whole story and hoped they could help you.

[After hearing your words, the two of them looked at each other, and then they smiled at each other.]

"Sure. If it's Mu's request, I'll agree to anything." Nagasaki Motoyo agreed with a smile.

"Me too." Toyokawa Shoko nodded.

[Hearing the two people's answers, you felt relieved. But just when you were relieved, Nagasaki Suyo suddenly spoke. "Mu, we are good friends, right? Since I agreed to your request, shouldn't you also listen to our request?"]

[You are silent. 】

"Soyo, Xiangzi, what do you want?" you asked.

"It's nothing. We're just concerned about Lu Li's health and want to be closer to him. But don't worry, Mu, we won't interfere with your marriage. We can promise you that!"

You are silent again.

【And while you are silent...】

"Mu, you don't want Lu Li to be disappointed in you, right?"

Volume 1: Chapter 123 Come to Me

"Soyo, Xiangzi, you guys..."

You look at your two best friends with some fear. You feel like they're about to take something important away from you. You want to say no, but...

"Mutsumi, all of this is your fault. Whether it's Crychic, Lu Li's health problems, or Ruoye's losses, these are all your fault, right? If it weren't your fault, these problems would have been solved, right?" Nagasaki Mushi said to you.

You are silent again.

You think Nagasaki Suyo is trying to PUA you, but it seems that from some perspective, all of this is indeed your fault.

If you could be less weak, if you could be a little stronger, it seems like all these things could be solved.

"Mu, Sakiko and I will help you with the money issue. We won't destroy your marriage. We just want Lu Li to get better. Think about it, if we take care of Lu Li together, won't he be able to rest more? That way, you won't have to worry about his health. It's better for everyone, right?" Nagasaki Suyo said to you with a smile.

【“…”】

"You guys, are you really not going to destroy my marriage?" You asked cautiously. You could give in on everything else, but this was the one thing you absolutely couldn't give in on. If you couldn't even protect your own husband, then everything you did would be meaningless.

"Of course, we swear to you!" Your two friends smiled and promised you.

【"Well... okay..." You agreed to the two people's conditions.】

[So from this day on, your fiancé no longer belongs to you alone. From this day on, there are two more people around your fiancé, and you are forced to turn a blind eye to all of this. You even need to take the initiative to help these two people do some things...]

......

【After the explanations of Toyokawa Shoko and Nagasaki Suyo, you learned the truth.】

[It turns out that the business you and Wakaba entrusted to Wakaba Mutsu was in trouble. A few bastards who weren't even human had betrayed your fiancée Wakaba Mutsu. To fill the hole, Wakaba Mutsu chose to sell you to Nagasaki Motoyo and Toyokawa Shoko.]

After learning all this, you are very angry.

【What does Ruoye Mu take you for? 】

You can understand the industry's losses, after all, there are only a few people who have been born, but the way Ye Mu handled it really makes you angry.

You recalled what the Ruoye couple had told you years ago: Ruoye Mu was too weak. You could protect her for a while, but not forever. You thought time would smooth things over, but all these years have passed, and Ruoye Mu hasn't improved at all. She's even gotten worse.

[Rather than proactively admitting her mistake to you, Ruo Yemu chose to use this method, which you think is bizarre, to make up for her mistake.]

[You are her fiancé, not some kind of item that can be traded.]

[After going through so many simulations, your feelings for Ruoye Mu remain unchanged, and she may still love you, but her behavior this time has left you feeling a little chilled.]

"Xiangzi, Soyo, were you involved in this incident?" After calming down, you looked at the two of them calmly.

"No," they both said to you with a smile, "None of this has anything to do with us. If anything, it's probably because we told you everything. After all, we agreed not to tell you the truth. She was afraid you'd leave her after you knew it."

"Then you didn't keep your promise of peace." You looked at the two of them.

"Yes, we didn't keep our promise because we believe that true love should be genuine. We could have kept you in the dark, but wouldn't that be disrespectful?" they said to you. "We didn't do anything to you. The drug in your tea was put there by Mu. She wanted to trick you into thinking you had sex with us so you'd be responsible. Mu knows you well, and this method allows both of us to share some of your love."

【“…”】

Hearing this, you fell silent. Your good fiancée really understands you well enough. She knows that if she doesn't do this, you will definitely not make any progress with Toyokawa Shoko and Nagasaki Suyo, so she actually took the initiative to sell you out.
