Chapter 87

“Mr. Chu, it was a misunderstanding, truly a misunderstanding. Everything just now was a misunderstanding.”

By now, the kindergarten director was drenched in a cold sweat from head to toe. She already knew what kind of great figure she had offended, and hurried forward to apologize.

But it was already too late.

“A misunderstanding?” Mu Xue let out a cold laugh and looked at the director, saying in a stern voice, “You insulted a distinguished guest of the Mu family as some petty nobody, and now you call that a misunderstanding?”

“I... I... I didn’t... I...” Faced with Mu Xue’s icy rebuke, the director was so terrified that she could no longer speak coherently.

“Contact the education authorities and have them come investigate thoroughly,” Mu Xue said, her gaze sweeping lightly over her shoulder. At once, someone took out a phone and made the call.

“Contact the media and expose this kindergarten.”

“Yes.”

The power the Mu family could mobilize was beyond imagination. The media Mu Xue summoned with a single sentence were all top-tier outlets among the best in the country.

A thorough investigation plus public exposure could utterly ruin this kindergarten overnight.

“As for her,” Mu Xue narrowed her eyes slightly and again fixed them on the director. In a cold voice, she said, “Scrutinize her piece by piece. Start from her school days and go all the way to the present. If there is even the slightest stain on her record, I want it dug out.”

“If you find anything, bring in the country’s most elite team of gold-medal lawyers. I want to make sure she never sees freedom again.”

“Yes, Miss Mu!”

Mu Xue’s methods were sharp to the extreme. With the Mu family’s power, making this kindergarten director vanish from the world entirely would not have been difficult.

But Mu Xue did not dare to do that.

She had not yet fully grasped Chu Tianhe’s temperament. If her punishment were too harsh, it might provoke his displeasure. So she used this approach instead, wanting to observe his reaction. Everything had to be tested step by step.

“Mr. Chu, do you think my handling of this is acceptable?”

Mu Xue smiled as she looked at Chu Tianhe and asked.

Chu Tianhe merely glanced faintly at the kindergarten director without saying a word. Holding Yao Yao, he turned and walked out of the kindergarten.

Watching his back disappear beyond the gate, Mu Xue’s delicate brows instantly furrowed.

No response at all. Neither approval nor rejection.

That silence made her uneasy.

Having long since navigated the merciless world of business, Mu Xue had never encountered a man like Chu Tianhe. He was like a passing wind, like a veil of mist—impossible to grasp, impossible to read.

At that moment, Mu Xue exchanged a look with her father, Mu Sihai, and found that even his eyes were filled with uncertainty. This only deepened her shock. She had never imagined that even her own father could not see through Chu Tianhe.

“Mr. Chu!”

After a brief daze, Mu Xue quickly hurried after him.

“What is it?” Chu Tianhe frowned slightly. He did not possess much patience for Mu Xue.

“If Mr. Chu doesn’t mind, I can help Yao Yao find a kindergarten,” Mu Xue said at once.

She understood very well that the most pressing matter for Chu Tianhe right now was Yao Yao’s schooling, so she took the initiative and offered to arrange the best kindergarten for her.

This was exactly what Chu Tianhe had been thinking.
