Chapter 394 Miss Republic of China, She is Charming 18
Chapter 394 Miss Republic of China, she is charming and charming (18)
The sun was shining brightly outside, but in the front hall of the White House, it was as if winter had fallen, and the atmosphere had dropped to its freezing point.
Finally, after another look from his wife, Bai Jingming spoke after careful consideration: "Governor, my daughter is young, so why don't we just forget about this engagement?"
Sitting across from him was Mu Beichen, who was dressed in military uniform and had an awe-inspiring look. His slightly frowning eyebrows were like a deep cave in a cold pool, with no hint of warmth.
Even though Bai Jingming has been the director for decades and is used to seeing all kinds of big scenes, facing the man in front of him now is a little difficult.
After all, the other party became the governor of the military region at a young age. He grew up in a bandit's den where corpses were piled high, and he had long been infected with a murderous aura.
No matter how authoritative he is, he still has to be wary of his bloodthirsty and cold temperament and the tens of thousands of guns behind him.
But at this moment, after listening to his words, this murderous man lowered his eyebrows and said: "Director Bai, I sincerely appreciate your daughter, and I hope that the director can be a man of beauty."
It's not like Bai Jingming has never dealt with Mu Beichen before.
Even if the other party has always wanted to take the police department into his pocket, he will not give up any of his momentum or dignity every time they meet.
It is really rare to speak to him in such a friendly and consultative tone now.
Before Bai Jingming could speak, Mu Beichen waved again.
Several guards came in carrying several red sandalwood boxes.
"This is the first time that Mr. Mu has come to visit us. I have caused a lot of inconvenience. Please forgive me, Director, and please accept this small gift."
Bai Jingming took a sneak peek and saw several boxes of gold and silver jewelry that almost blinded him.
"This..." Bai Jingming was in trouble.
It's not because of those belongings.
It was Mu Beichen's attitude that made all the wording he had thought of before useless.
He is so polite and courteous. If he refuses coldly and angers him, the situation will be ugly.
After all, the guns of the dozen guards outside are not just decorations.
Mu Beichen saw Bai Jingming's struggle, gathered up his cloak and raised his lips and said, "Mou knows that the director can't let go of his daughter. Mu is not that impatient. He just came to visit you two first."
Although he was smiling, there was still no emotion in his eyes, which was so cold that it made people feel frightened.
Bai Jingming glanced at his wife, helplessness flashed across his face.
"Father, mother, the housekeeper said there are guests at home, but why didn't you say anything to me?"
A gentle voice like the cry of a warbler broke the stalemate atmosphere.
When Mu Beichen heard the sound, he raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of spring light.
The girl is wearing a light pink dress, and the stiletto heels on her feet create a brisk rhythm.
She seemed to have dressed up carefully before appearing. Her black hair was tied up with a green ribbon, revealing her long and white neck. A pair of beads on her ears shone softly and brightly.
Those eyes were like begonia branches stained with morning dew, charming and boneless, and extremely beautiful.
Mu Beichen can't get enough of such a bright and beautiful Bai Wu.
She should burst into his sight with such a smile on her face.
Instead of lying lifeless in his arms.
But the brightness in the girl's eyes dimmed the moment she saw him, and the disappointment on her face was self-evident.
Mu Beichen's expression also turned cold when he caught the slight change in her mood.
He couldn't help but ponder.
What is she missing?
Is it because I didn’t see the person I wanted to see?
She thought the person coming today was Mucheng?
Bai Jingming noticed the sudden change in mood and attitude of the man opposite him, and quickly cleared his throat and looked at his daughter:
"Ah Wu, there are guests here, don't lose your etiquette."
Bai Wu reluctantly moved forward and blessed Mu Beichen: "I've met Governor Mu."
Mu Beichen, who had seen the girl's bright appearance, naturally knew what her current look meant.
He couldn't help but tighten his fingertips in disgust, and the anger all over his body suddenly surged into his eyes.
He has always been very patient when it comes to getting what he needs.
But that doesn't mean he will always be patient.
Looking away from the girl's pretty face, Mu Beichen cast his cold eyes on Bai Jingming again:
"Director Bai, Mu knows that you have objections, but the engagement between Mu and Ling Qianjin is already known to everyone. Does the director insist on breaking off the engagement because he wants to make Mu the laughing stock of the entire Yan City?"
At this moment, Bai Jingming finally understood the purpose of Mu Beichen's aggressive war.
It is nothing more than trying to use public opinion to force him to submit.
What a sinister person.
But what he said was not unreasonable. If the engagement between the two was terminated without any reason, Ah Wu's reputation would definitely be affected.
It is impossible for him to ruin the rest of his daughter's life because of this.
After pondering for a moment, Bai Jingming said: "It is a life-long matter for the descendants of the two families. My wife and I still need to discuss it again."
At the moment, we can only use delaying tactics to stabilize Mu Beichen.
"There's no rush." Mu Beichen squinted his eyes and stared straight at Bai Wu, "In that case, the director will discuss with his wife. It just so happens that Mu also has something to say to Ling Qianjin.
"
When Bai Wu heard this, she glanced at him: "Who wants to talk to you?"
After saying that, he stepped on high heels and left.
But instead of going back to her room, she ran into the back garden.
Sure enough, Mu Beichen followed.
He stood in the corridor, his solemn and solemn military uniform was incompatible with the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.
Only then did Bai Wu look at him carefully.
Although his appearance is not as stunning as Mucheng's, his facial features are more profound, and every part of him has meanness and cold-bloodedness woven into his bones, making it intimidating.
She concentrated her mind and then met his gaze: "You, why are you following me?"
Mu Beichen walked towards her with his slender legs, and the military boots on his feet made a muffled sound against the bluestone.
"Nothing else, I just want to get to know Miss Bai."
His voice was as cold as ice, filled with an unbreakable coldness.
It was clear that the feeling of oppression was close at hand, but Bai Wu still gathered her fingertips and took a step back:
"Governor Mu, let's get straight to the point. I will take the initiative to terminate the engagement and will not let the Governor's reputation be affected in any way."
Mu Beichen's eyes darkened: "You are so unwilling to marry me?"
"Ah Wu just doesn't want to put all her future happiness on a stranger."
Mu Beichen chuckled lightly and looked at her with an aggressive look: "It doesn't matter if we don't know each other now, we will know each other in the future. It doesn't matter if we don't have feelings. We can also cultivate them after marriage."
His possessive paranoia was brought to the extreme in just a few words.
Bai Wu frowned and refused again: "But Governor, not all feelings can be cultivated. Some people are destined to be unable to love each other in their lifetime."
Her voice was very soft, and even when she said such heartless words, it was pleasant to the ears.
But the content was like a knife, cutting hard into Mu Beichen's heart.
"Some people are destined to be unable to love each other in their lives..."
"Ah…."
He sneered and approached Bai Wu, raised his hand and pressed her against the pillar behind him, staring at her with sharp eyes, not letting her move at all.
"But do you know that what I don't believe in the most is fate and destiny. Someone once pointed at my head and told me that I was destined to die a bad death. But do you know what happened next?"
