In fact, he abandoned his wife and son back then, so why didn't he feel guilty?
The purpose of letting Mu Yuxiu return to the Mu family a few years ago was to compensate them, so even if Mu Yuxiu said such words, he could only hold back his anger in his heart, otherwise Mu Yuxiu would sever the father-son relationship with him by then.
It was too late for him to regret.
Sheng Shichang slowly suppressed the anger in his heart. A second ago, he was standing condescendingly in front of Mu Yuxiu, as if he was ready to teach an unfilial son a lesson. However, now he sat back on the sofa with some dejection, sinking into the back of the sofa.
His back is slightly stooped.
When Sheng Qizhou saw Sheng Shichang's sad expression, a sarcastic look flashed in his eyes.
I still remember that when he was young a few years ago, he brought the pregnant Yuan Qian back to the Sheng family. He told Sheng Shichang and Shao Manzhu that he was going to marry Yuan Qian. Shao Manzhu seemed calm and composed on the surface, but Sheng Shichang directly said that if he dared
If he marries Yuan Qian, he will sever the father-son relationship with him.
At that time, Sheng Shichang was still in control of the Sheng family and the Sheng clan. No matter how young and frivolous he was at that time, no matter how desperate he was, he would not dare to disobey Sheng Shichang.
So he lost his first child with Yuan Qian.
But now that the same thing happened to Mu Yuxiu, should he blame Sheng Shichang for his unfair treatment, or should he deceive himself and comfort himself that only by being strong enough can he protect what is his?
If he deliberately let Sheng Shichang know about Mu Yuxiu and Wen Wan's marriage, it was because he was betting on how much control Sheng Shichang had against Mu Yuxiu, then the result proved that he lost.
The housekeeper came over and said Miss Qiao was here.
After hearing this, Sheng Shichang sat up straight and looked at Mu Yuxiu's face across from him.
Mu Yuxiu was about to go back. After hearing what the housekeeper said, he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. While sliding on the lighter, he said: "It's better to come early than to come by chance. It also saves me another trip to Qiao's house."
Yes, let her in."
Sheng Shichang saw that there were three cigarette butts in the ashtray at Mu Yuxiu's hand in less than half an hour. Then he looked at Mu Yuxiu's increasingly gloomy features under the smoke. He frowned, but in the end he said nothing.
.
Qiao Feimin walked in half a minute later. After greeting several people one by one, Shao Manzhu asked Qiao Feimin to sit down next to him. His attitude was no different from usual. He smiled and asked Qiao Feimin, "Why is Amin here at this time?"
Qiao Feimin raised her eyes to look at Mu Yuxiu, then lowered her head after a few seconds, bit her lip, and couldn't hide the sadness in her voice, "Yesterday, Ah Xiu's grandfather went to Qiao's house and said he wanted to cancel the engagement between me and Ah Xiu.
.Now that Commander Mu has spoken, there is no way my parents will not agree, but I want Ah Xiu and grandpa to get married again. This marriage was arranged by people from the Qiao family and the Sheng family. Even if they want to withdraw, they still have to do it.
The Sheng family has to come forward."
When she said this, her eyes, which were originally red and swollen from crying, became even redder, "I know that Ah Xiu came to the Sheng family today, so I want to ask for an explanation in front of everyone."
Mu Yuxiu flicked off half of the cigarette ashes with his slender jade-like fingers, and the corners of his lips suddenly sank, "How did Miss Qiao know that I came to the Sheng family tonight? Are you serious about your scheming, or are you just keeping an eye on me all day long?"
Qiao Feimin's heart trembled slightly and she looked away, "It's not important. I came here to tell you that I don't agree to break off the engagement. It was your elders who made the engagement at the beginning. I was still young and had no objection. Now you say that I will.
I just broke off the engagement. Have you ever thought about how I feel? It’s already very embarrassing to have the engagement broken off. Plus, the other party is your Sheng family. How can you get me married in the future and how can I establish myself in city T?"
As she spoke, tears welled up and flowed down her pale face. That look made several people who saw it a little bit unbearable, and not to mention how much Qiao Feimin's words seemed to imply stalking.
After all, what Qiao Feimin said is true.
If Mu Yuxiu insists on breaking off the engagement, he will really ruin Qiao Feimin's life.
The other three people did not express their opinions. Mu Yuxiu saw that the time was getting later and later, and thought that if he did not go back, Wen Wan would be waiting for him. After all, there was still impatience in his tone, "So? Are you planning to be like this?"
Is Dong Weizhuang like that?"
"You compare me with her?" Qiao Feimin's expression froze and she said sarcastically: "Although I am indeed pestering you, it is because I love you Mu Yuxiu! And what have I done wrong? How many people are around you?
Woman, who do you like? Even if you live with Wen Wan, as your fiancée, I have reason to eliminate all mistresses, right? But have I ever done anything to hurt Wen Wan? If Wen Wan were here today, I really want to ask
Ask her how she has the nerve to seduce my fiancé!"
Mu Yuxiu's eyes trembled, and just when he was about to speak, Shao Manzhu spoke first, "Okay! There's nothing wrong with Amin not wanting to break off the engagement, and there's nothing wrong with Ah Xiu's liking for gentleness. In the final analysis, what caused this
It is us, the elders, who are in trouble. We should not have arranged this marriage in the first place, causing you children to suffer."
"Amin." Shao Manzhu handed the handkerchief to Qiao Feimin to wipe her tears, held one of Qiao Feimin's hands with both hands, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for you on behalf of Axiu, but my aunt and uncle are even more sorry for you."
Qiao Feimin paused while wiping her tears, and the teardrops hit the back of Shao Manzhu's hand. She burst into tears and said: "Auntie, don't blame Amin. I really don't want to break up with Axiu."
engagement."
"Forget it, let's all take a step back!" Sheng Shichang heard from Qiao Feimin's words just now that Qiao Feimin probably didn't know that Mu Yuxiu and Wen Wan were already married. He said to Qiao Feimin: "You just don't want to break off the engagement.
You don’t mind if Achen likes and lives with other women, right? If that’s the case, we don’t need to break off the engagement.”
Compared with normal days, Sheng Qizhou, the head of the family, said very little tonight.
He just kept smoking and didn't plan to say anything more. When he heard Sheng Shichang's words, he raised the corners of his lips, chuckled and said, "It's okay to have a bad wife and hide her beauty in a golden house outside."
Only you, dad, can do it. My eldest brother clearly doesn’t want to marry Miss Qiao, so why should we delay Miss Qiao?”
Sheng Shichang has long been accustomed to Sheng Qizhou's sarcasm, and although he feels sorry for Mu Nanyan and Mu Yuxiu, he is a courageous person. He knows clearly that what Sheng Qizhou said is true and he is at fault. He will not do anything unnecessary again.
argument.
He avoided Sheng Qizhou's question and said to Mu Yuxiu: "Since that woman named Wen Wan is willing to be a mistress, it means that she doesn't care about her status. The women outside will never get on the stage. I think you will finally be there when you have enough fun."
Marry a lady like Amin."
The meaning of the words was actually a hint to Mu Yuxiu to delay for a while. Although Mu Yuxiu was unhappy, he didn't say anything after all.
However, Sheng Shichang acquiesced to Wen Wan, which reminded Sheng Qizhou of the time when Sheng Shichang and Shao Manzhu broke up with Yuan Qian. The hatred deep in his heart was completely aroused, and his usually gentle and jade-like face
, but at this moment, it was gloomy, with a deep chill between his brows and eyes, and he was ready to go.
He said sarcastically: "Which mistress doesn't want to be the main wife? Otherwise, why would my mother be sitting here, how could my eldest brother be what outsiders call an illegitimate son, and how could I be the real master of the Sheng family?"
"Sheng Qizhou?!" Shao Manzhu couldn't listen anymore. She gritted her teeth and interrupted Sheng Qizhou sharply. When she turned to look at him, her eyes were red and she said hoarsely: "Just for a woman, you treat yourself like this.
His biological parents?"
"Are you afraid of what others say about what kind of person you are?" Sheng Qizhou finished speaking expressionlessly and put out the cigarette in his hand.
He stood up and walked out without saying a word.
Shao Manzhu asked from behind: "It's so late, where are you going?"
"bar."
Shao Manzhu slowly and feebly leaned back on the sofa, full of sadness.
Does this still feel like home?
After Qiao Feimin interfered like this, Mu Yuxiu was still unable to successfully terminate the engagement with her.
procrastination?
How long will it take to postpone?
He just wants to give Wen Wan a real wedding, why is it so difficult? Moreover, Qiao Feimin occupies the position of fiancée, so there is no way for him and Wen Wan to make their marriage public. Does he still want to continue secretly with Wen Wan?
He decided to marry Wen Wan just to give Wen Wan a status. What is the difference between this situation now and before?
Mu Yuxiu slammed on the emergency brake.
wrong.
There is another way.
Mu Yuxiu parked on the mountain for a few minutes before he drove back to the mansion, turned on the light at the entrance and changed his shoes.
There was no light in the living room. Mu Yuxiu thought that Wen Wan would have gone to bed at this time, so he did not turn on the light again and walked quietly upstairs.
When he saw that the lights in the corridor were still on, his heart suddenly softened. He walked to the door of the master bedroom with a half-smile, but unexpectedly heard someone calling him, "Axiu."
Mu Yuxiu's smile suddenly froze at the corners of his lips, and he looked sideways.
Yuan Qian stood in front of the door of the next room, wearing the same suspender nightgown that Wen Wan wore when she came over that time. The light shone on Yuan Qian's body, giving her an inexplicable allure in the dark night.
But that's not important. What's important is why Yuan Qian suddenly came back here?
He gave Yuan Qian the key, so did Yuan Qian come in without Wen Wan knowing? Or what was Wen Wan's reaction after Wen Wan found out?
A layer of sweat broke out in Mu Yuxiu's palms. His tall figure stood there upright. He hadn't heard any noise inside for a long time, which meant that Wen Wan probably didn't notice that he was back.
He paused for a moment, turned around, walked over, took Yuan Qian's wrist with one hand, and entered the guest room.
After he brought Yuan Qian in, he closed the door very gently, then let go of Yuan Qian, stood in front of her and asked, "Do you know Wen Wan you are here?"
"Well, it was Awan who asked me to live here." After Yuan Qian finished speaking softly, she looked up and saw Mu Yuxiu's expression changed. She quickly said: "Don't worry, I have already explained to her that our relationship is not that kind of relationship.
, and didn’t tell her that.”
The lights in the room were a little dim, and Mu Yuxiu's expression was in the shadow of his dark hair, which made people a little unpredictable.
Yuan Qian felt a little uneasy, "Did I do something wrong?"
"Do you know that Wen Wan and I are already married?" Mu Yuxiu suddenly asked, his eyes as sharp as a knife locked on Yuan Qian, and there was anger in his voice.
