Chapter 121 - Lots of Twists in the Plots (1)

Both Mu XueLin and Xu Tian attended Xu WanZhi and Mu ZhenYu’s engagement ceremony. Xu Tian, sitting at the very front, gave Xu WanZhi a complacent look.

Xu WanZhi understood that Xu Tian was still dreaming about receiving a large sum of money from Mu XueLin after they had destroyed Mu ZhenYu. She returned Xu Tian with a smile and thought that once she had Chen Jin and Qin Sheng taken care of, Xu Tian would be her next target.

The second part of the engagement ceremony was the exchange of blessings from the parents of both parties. Old Madam Mu was the first to go up on the stage. She had represented the Mu’s in the business realm for most of her life and her words were sonorous and powerful. Standing in her gown, Xu WanZhi smiled sweetly as she waited for her pictures to be taken. At the same time, she thought to herself that the Old Madam and Aunt Mu Ling were probably the only two persons there who truly wanted to see them married, and that was including herself and Mu ZhenYu.

The media didn’t seem to care too much about what the old madam have to say. All of the reporters there were snapping pictures madly as though they wanted to document every single fancy details of this engagement ceremony, let it be a piece of candy or a drop of wine. They were probably planning on researching on the brands of each item afterward so they could readily create a clickbait article online.

Standing in a hiding corner, Xu WanZhi looked at all different sorts of people underneath and couldn't help but chuckled. “Look at the reporters taking pictures and taking notes. I have the title written up for them already – Priceless red wine that cost $30 million a drop? Engagement ceremony between Xu WanZhi and Mu ZhenYu in details.”

Mu ZhenYu lowered his head and looked at her. There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes. “Xu WanZhi, are you really that carefree or just heartless? Today is the engagement ceremony, your own one. It’s not the opening or wrapping of your filming. Why is it that all you can think about is the entertainment circle?”

Noticing that he was displeased and that she had misspoke, Xu WanZhi asked him softly, “Are you mad?”

Mu ZhenYu did not respond to her but stood up straight and ignored her.

“Oh, c’mon. I was wrong.” Xu WanZhi squinted and boldly reached out to his lower arm and shook it back and forth slightly. “I’m sorry, fiancé~~”

She dragged out on the “fiancée” part purposefully. Her voice was sweet, pretty, soft, and sticky, sounding very coquettish.

Mu ZhenYu couldn’t resist that. His heart crumpled under her voice. He forced himself to curve his lips slightly, showing that he was no longer mad at her.

Xu WanZhi smiled complacently and let go of his arm. After a little while, she said in a serious tone, “It wasn’t that I was thinking about the entertainment circle. It’s just that people like us, we appear glamourous to others as though we are standing at the apex of the pyramid. But the more glamourous we look, the better our lives are, the more others wanted to see some sort of misfortunes happen to us. Preferably if we’d fall straight from heaven to the deepest of hell. Take today for example. Why is it that Chen Jin hasn’t done anything with the pictures that she had gotten her hands on? She was waiting for today. As luxurious as this engagement ceremony seems, there were surging storms and murderous intent hidden behind everything – under each crystal on the chandelier and every petals of the blooming flowers.”

Xu WanZhi had always been an optimistic one and would rarely lament like she did today. Looking at her long lashes that was vibrating slightly, Mu ZhenYu also had felt an odd sensation.

He let out a long sigh and said, “Don’t worry. I am taller than you. Should the sky come crashing down, I’ll be there to prop it up first.”

By now, the blessings from the old madam and both fathers were over. The host said a few words and invited the couple to the center of the dance floor.

Xu WanZhi had a bouquet of flowers in one hand and the other one around Mu ZhenYu’s arm. With her sparkling sliver wedding shoes on her, she was just about to take a step forward when she felt a tug from Mu ZhenYu.

Then she heard his voice coming from above her head. “Be careful what you say out there.”
