Chapter 105 - Feeling Unjust (“Is it that Mu’s that you don’t like or is it me?”) (3)

It was the end of summer and the weather was starting to get cold. Xu WanZhi leaned against the door and asked coldly, “Xu Tian, why did you come all the way here all of a sudden. Not only did you get close to Mu XueLin, you even brought up marriage. What are you thinking?”

Xu Tian turned around and didn’t care that she had referred to him with his full name. quite the contrary, he smiled at her and said, “WanZhi, do you really not know what it is that I want?”

Xu Tian let out a sigh and blow out some smoke. Extinguishing the cigarette, he walked over to Xu WanZhi. “I was young and wasn’t thinking straight at the time and didn’t know that it was so difficult to marry into the Chen’s back in the days. Now Mu XueLin had offered a handsome amount to let you marry Mu ZhenYu. The wealth is right at our fingertips. The two of us should be on the same side.”

“Mu XueLin is going to pay you for me to marry Mu ZhenYu? Has he lost his mind?” Xu WanZhi rolled her eyes at Xu Tian then, as though something else had occurred to her, she asked, “You said it was difficult to marry into the Chen’s? Which Chen’s? Chen Yi?”

Xu Tian paused for a second before he said to her, “It’s nothing. It’s all in the past. Mu XueLin dotes on his second son and is worried that his older son would scheme away all of the Mu’s fortune. He is willing to pay for you to pretend to get married to Mu ZhenYu. You will then ditch him and run off. That would be a blow to him. See? You don’t even need to do much other than going through the motions. You will be a rich divorcee afterward. Wonderful, right? Plus, Mu ZhenYu is someone who had gone bankrupt. He might never rise back up again. It doesn’t befit you to stay with him. Once this is over, you can stay in the entertainment circle or be in a relationship with anyone of your choice. I promise I will not interfere again.”

“I can’t believe you can even say such a thing. You are worse than an animal.” Xu WanZhi snickered. “You are all wrong. Mu ZhenYu doesn’t like me. He is with me simply because he didn’t want to be with Liang ZhiQuan. Now that Liang ZhiQuan is out of the picture, I am of no value to him anymore. I am afraid your plan isn’t going to work out as you have wanted it to. And now, Xu Tian, you need to tell me what is your involvement with the Chen’s.”

Xu Tian’s brows furrowed deeply. “That, that was all in the past. You know, my business hasn’t been doing well. I wanted to have a chance for a comeback and that required a large investment. Back then, the Chen’s was one of the prestigious family prestigious families in town. I gave you to Chen Yi for my livelihood. I did it so we can both have a bright future. Don’t blame your old dad.”

Xu WanZhi’s heart sank. “You gave me to Chen Yi? Why didn’t I know about it?

“You were drunk that day…” Xu Tian explained softly. “But, daughter, it’s okay. He didn’t do anything. He just sent someone to take you home. I can guarantee that.”

Xu WanZhi was infuriated. She snickered and spoke through her gritted teeth, “Xu Tian, I don’t care how much Mu XueLin had promised you. Don’t you worry. As long as I am around, you will not get your hands on even one penny of it.”

Everybody had their own thoughts in their own minds when they watched the two-episodes finale. As soon as the show was over, Xu WanZhi faked illness and dragged Mu ZhenYu off with her.

Mu ZhenYu didn’t look all too happy either. He was gloomy and quiet the entire way home. When Xu WanZhi wanted to get out of the car after they got into the garage, she realized that Mu ZhenYu sat in the driver’s seat, refusing to unlock the door to let her out.

Xu WanZhi knew that he wanted to talk to her so she sat back and asked, “What is it?”

“Why did you react the way you did when they brought up our marriage? Was it really that awful marrying into the Mu’s?”

Releasing his seatbelt, Mu ZhenYu pressed himself closer to Xu WanZhi.

What he really wanted to ask was, “Was it really that awful marrying me?” But he changed his wording the very last minute.

Xu WanZhi did not want to get into that with him. She merely explained genuinely, “Mu ZhenYu, that’s just a plot between my father and yours. Your father offered mine a handsome amount to pretend that I am going to marry you and run off once it is done.”

“But you didn’t found that out until after dinner, right? But you turned it down without even giving it a thought over dinner. Why was that?” He voice was low and he looked vicious. “Was it the Mu’s or the me that you don’t like?”
