From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 1160 Certain of Victory (1)

Mu Ruohai lived inside a villa in a nearby town.

As he knew that the elders of the Goodman family were going to come over, Mu Ruohai arranged someone to go and meet them.

The first person to arrive was Anna.

Her blonde hair, blue eyes, and beautiful face attracted a lot of attention wherever she went.

Inside the villa, Mu Ruohai sat in front of a stone table as he sipped away at a cup of Longjing tea.

“Uncle, what tricks are you up to this time?” Anna asked in a not so polite tone. She asked for Mu Ruohai’s purpose straight away.

Anna did not have a good impression of Mu Ruohai. This man had too much ambition and he was always up to no good. In fact, Anna even suspected that her aunt’s death had something to do with this man. However, she could not find any evidence to prove this.

“I helped the Goodman family locate Jian Yiling. Shouldn’t you be happy?” Mu Ruohai asked Anna. He did not answer Anna’s question.

Jian Yiling went missing for two entire years. During this time, in addition to the Zhai family and the Jian family searching for her, the Goodman family also looked for her. This was because Jian Yiling disappeared with the Goodman family compass.

“Uncle, you’re still suspected of murder. Furthermore, there’s bad blood between you and her. Why would you so kind to look for her?”

“Well, you guys only care about the compass in Jian Yiling’s hands. Rules shouldn’t be set in stone. People should be flexible. If we get the compass, we can find the legendary treasure.”

“Tch, stop thinking about it,” Anna snickered. “You can do whatever you want. However, if you do something out of line, I will use our family rules to punish you. Even though my aunt is dead, you were still married into our family. Therefore, you’re forever subject to the rules of the Goodman family.”

“You’re as arrogant as ever.” “Oh? What’s the problem with that? Does the truth hurt?” Anna taunted Mu Ruohai. “The person you really liked was never my aunt. Instead, you liked a woman named Bai Xun. However, you lost to Zhai Bochen. Other than graduating from the same university and other from your studies being as good as his, you were in no shape or form a match against Zhai Bochen. However, you were not willing to accept fate. And thus, you used pretty language and cheesy words to trick my aunt. That’s how you married into the Goodman family. That’s how you got the power to plan Zhai Bochen’s death.”

Mu Ruohai came from a rather ordinary family. Even though his family conditions weren’t bad, when compared to the Zhai family, it was akin to comparing the clouds to mud.

When he was in university, he always envied Zhai Bochen. Zhai Bochen had nothing he had to worry about in life.

What made his jealousy reach its heights was when Zhai Bochen and Bai Xun got married.

He went crazy when he saw the woman he liked marry someone else.

However, he couldn’t change anything. He was powerless.

And thus, he made up a plan for revenge. The Gods gave him the opportunity to meet someone from the Goodman family. And that person was Anna’s aunt. Even though the Goodman family was against Anna’s aunt marrying Mu Ruohai, Anna’s aunt insisted. After becoming a member of the Goodman family, Mu Ruohai mustered enough power to plan Zhai Bochen’s death.

A crack appeared in Mu Ruohai’s smile.

However, Anna’s smile remained as bright as ever: “Uncle, please don’t worry. After all, these are just my guesses. I have no evidence. If I did have evidence, even if you don’t end up in jail, I will make sure you’re booted out of the Goodman family.”

Mu Ruohai sneered before he replied: “Your imagination is quite rich. If you don’t end up becoming the heir of the Goodman family, you should considering writing novels.”
