Chapter 252_1
"This... alright!"
Strangely, Zhao Jingrou hesitated briefly but didn't put up much resistance to Xu Mu's outrageous demands.
She assumed that Xu Mu wanted to leverage Zhao Yan's status to legitimize his power, or else even with her backing, there could be issues.
It was just a pity for Yan'er, who would have to endure a few years of a celibate life.
She didn't believe that Xu Mu, at his age, still had any virility to speak of.
However, it wasn't all bad news. This status would allow Yan'er to easily take control of the family. If she could win Xu Mu's favor and gain resource support to advance to the Foundation Establishment, it would be perfect.
"I'm not fond of forcing others. If she's unwilling, friend, you could help me find a replacement," Xu Mu proposed.
His thoughts were similar to Zhao Jingrou's. Indeed, he aimed to take advantage of Zhao Yan's identity to manage Zhao family more conveniently.
