Madam Mu's heart finally settled when she saw Mu Yuxi begin to write.
She was actually taking a gamble.
If Mu Yuxi didn't sign, she had no way to force her.
Initially, Madam Mu hadn't planned on trading with Mu Yuxi, but Mu Weifeng was too proud.
He would rather die of illness than agree to her terms.
But Mu Yuxi was different.
She had only just finished her middle school exams and entered her first year of high school.
A girl not yet 16, no matter how capable, lacks maturity.
And with Mu Weifeng being her own brother, standing here at this life-and-death juncture was itself a testament to Mu Yuxi's resilience.
Madam Mu was afraid that, when facing a choice between power and family affection, Mu Yuxi would opt for the former.
Thankfully, that wasn't the case.
Madam Mu watched coldly from the sidelines, not even offering Mu Yuxi a seat, just witnessing her sign.
This document, once signed, would have legal effect.
