Chapter 267: Marrying her is against moral ethics [full 5500
Mu Yuxiu's brain exploded, and he felt that there was only darkness left in his world, and it was just like the feeling when he was lying on the floor after he shot himself, that death was coming bit by bit, and the temperature of his body was slowly dropping.
Even the blood is cold.
Suddenly, his hands clenched into fists, and the burning cigarette burned his palms. The pain completely pulled him back from his thoughts. He closed his long eyes forcefully,
What did she just call him?
Big brother?
She actually became his sister-in-law?
They were obviously husband and wife before!
Mu Yuxiu cannot accept this change in relationship.
"Brother?"
She shouted again, and Mu Yuxiu's closed eyes suddenly opened.
The hands she stretched out were right in front of him. Such an invitation to shake hands made him naturally think of her request for a handshake at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
If he held her hand at that time, he would have accepted her blessing, and there might be a possibility that he would be happy in the future. However, if he held her hand now, he would have accepted her as his sister-in-law, so what would he face?
?
He will collapse and go crazy.
Mu Yuxiu didn't move, and his limbs were stiff. He couldn't stand up, let alone stretch out his hand.
The hand did not retract as quickly as before, but remained horizontally in mid-air.
The situation is tense, and it seems that someone is deliberately continuing this atmosphere.
Half a minute later, Sheng Qizhou spoke first, "Forget it, don't torture eldest brother. After all, he loved you so deeply at that time. He thought you were dead and committed suicide once. Now that you have become my woman, he suddenly
It's unacceptable and it's normal." He pulled her arm back and held her hand in front of Mu Yuxiu, "Give him some time and he will get used to it."
The most normal words are actually an act of provocation. Sheng Qizhou told Mu Yuxiu that it was an unchangeable fact that Wenwan would become his younger sibling.
Mu Yuxiu couldn't answer the question. After so many years of overt and covert fighting with Sheng Qizhou, this was the first time that he had been so completely defeated. And the most important point was that he couldn't even figure out what was going on.
"That's right." Wen Wan nodded and agreed with Sheng Qizhou.
Mu Yuxiu's eyes turned to their clasped fingers.
Their ten fingers were intertwined, but her ring finger was empty. Instead, she wore a black tail ring on her tail finger, the same as Sheng Qizhou's.
This tail ring was originally worn on Yuan Qian's hand. It is a unique couple's ring in the world.
The sharp pain in his heart reminded him that this was not a ridiculous dream. Back then, Rong Zhaoyuan asked Wen Wan to marry Sheng Qizhou, but now——
"Second Young Master." The butler walked over and asked if the meal could be served.
Sheng Qizhou nodded and walked into the restaurant holding Wen Wan's hand first.
Mu Yuxiu looked at the tall man and the tall woman under the light from behind. For a moment, he felt that the two of them were a perfect match.
This realization made his figure shudder again. Fortunately, Sheng Shichang, who was walking beside him, raised his hand and held his shoulder, his tone full of mockery, "Isn't it great? Just go to your own woman.
Chase me back!"
Mu Yuxiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and turned to look at Sheng Shichang. He wanted to slap his arm off, but he saw that Sheng Shichang's temples were gray.
He inexplicably remembered the cry when Sheng Shichang pushed open the door after his grandfather died, ran over and knelt down in front of the bed.
When he wanted to say something more, Sheng Shichang had already retracted his hand, put it behind his back, and walked in front of him.
After a few seconds of pause, Mu Yuxiu unclenched his clenched fists and strode into the restaurant.
Although Sheng Shichang had no status in the family, he was the elder after all. He and Shao Manzhu sat at the main seat, Sheng Qizhou and Wen Wan sat on one side, and Mu Yuxiu chose the seat directly opposite Wen Wan and sat down.
Sheng Qizhou personally prepared the dishes for Wen Wan and whispered something to her. After a while, the meeting was almost over. He looked at Sheng Shichang and Shao Manzhu and said, "You guys make arrangements. I will be engaged to Wen Wan within three months."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yuxiu suddenly raised his head and looked at Wen Wan.
She looked calm and didn't raise her eyebrows.
Obviously this was decided after she discussed it with Sheng Qizhou.
Mu Yuxiu clenched his chopsticks tightly, feeling the pain from the cigarette butts that had just burned him.
After Sheng Qizhou finished what he said, no one responded to him.
Sheng Qizhou's pale eyes narrowed, seemingly respecting his elders, but his tone contained a hint of intimidation, "What, do you have any questions?"
Sheng Shichang expressed his opinion first and asked Sheng Qizhou: "Don't you think there is a problem? A Zhou, Wen Wan is your eldest brother's ex-wife. If you want to marry her, don't you think it is against moral ethics?"
"You also said that you are just your ex-wife. Now that Wenwan and her eldest brother are divorced, why can't you start a new marriage?" Sheng Qizhou had long expected that several people would react like this. He said calmly: "About what you said
It is against moral ethics, so let me ask you, what era are we in now? We are all highly educated people, how can we be so ignorant?"
Wen Wan also took over Sheng Qizhou's words at this time, "Put this aside, after the death of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, didn't Wu Zetian marry the son of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and Empress Changsun? There are countless such examples in history.
Why not let others set examples for us?"
After hearing this, Mu Yuxiu suddenly threw his chopsticks and said with a sneer: "Wen Wan, you are just Azhou's girlfriend now. What qualifications do you have to interrupt in the Sheng family's decision-making meeting?"
The meaning of the words was obviously to accuse Wen Wan of being uneducated and not understanding the rules.
Wen Wan replied lukewarmly: "I thought if you raised it in front of me, I would have the right to speak."
Before Mu Yuxiu could speak, Sheng Qizhou laughed, leaned closer to Wen Wan, and said in a gentle voice: "Of course you have the right to speak, after all, I am the master of the Sheng family. If they want to stay in the Sheng family, they must respect you first.
"
Looking at Mu Yuxiu, who had a gloomy face, a smile appeared on his lips, "As for the eldest brother, the Wenwan you mentioned is just my girlfriend. In fact, I have already determined in my heart that she is the second young lady of the Sheng family, and I still care about other things.
What?"
"That's enough!" Shao Manzhu waved his hand and sternly stopped the quarrel between the three of them.
In the past, Mu Yuxiu and Sheng Qizhou were secretly fighting to the death, but now they were so intolerable over a woman that they started fighting at the dinner table. This made Shao Manzhu even more suspicious of Wen Wan's purpose.
She always felt that Wen Wan was planning something, but what exactly it was? From the time she met Wen Wan to now, she still hadn't figured it out. In addition, Wen Wan had returned to the Rong family, and Wen Wan married Sheng Qizhou.
It means that the Rong family and the Sheng family will have a certain degree of unity in business and politics. Sheng Qizhou becoming stronger is not the result she wants to see.
Just like she disagreed with Yuan Qian being the second young mistress of the Sheng family, the person who takes this position must be someone designated by her, Shao Manzhu, or a puppet that she can fully control.
According to her understanding of Wen Wan, Wen Wan is too smart and she has no confidence in controlling Wen Wan. She is even worried that Wen Wan will turn against her.
After some thought, Shao Manzhu persuaded Sheng Qizhou calmly, "A Zhou, even if we don't object, people outside know that Wen Wan is Ah Xiu's ex-wife. Although their divorce has nothing to do with you, you are not
I don’t know about those media reporters, they will make all kinds of speculations.”
"For example, you destroyed the eldest brother and sister-in-law's family, you poached the corner, or the woman Wen Wan married the eldest brother, and then married the younger brother, which shows what kind of woman she is... and so on, not only you and Wen Wan
If the reputation is completely ruined, even the Sheng family and the Sheng family will be implicated."
Shao Manzhu's words were already very tactful, but if it were more ugly, it would actually mean that Wen Wan was a bitch who seduced the second young master of the Sheng family, or that the two of them had been having an affair behind Mu Yuxiu's back... These were disgusting words.
Although modern society is open, regardless of morality and ethics, Sheng Qizhou can be regarded as a third party to some extent, and the third party will always be the target of scolding.
When Sheng Qizhou heard what Shao Manzhu said, he remembered that he and Yuan Qian were also separated by Shao Manzhu. The hatred hidden in his heart surged out, and the corners of his lips sank, "I don't care what the outside world thinks of me, sometimes no matter what
No matter how well you do, there will still be people who oppose and question you. If you spend all your time worrying about these things, you will not only be tired, but also make people laugh."
Shao Manzhu was surprised at Sheng Qizhou's transformation.
Because in her definition, Sheng Qizhou has always pursued perfection excessively and cared more about the opinions of others than anyone else.
Is Sheng Qizhou so open-minded now?
"Besides, aren't the media just trying to keep things fresh? Can't this gust of wind pass? On the other hand, we can't do nothing, and we will also try to suppress some public opinion." After Sheng Qizhou said this, he turned his eyes again
Turning to Mu Yuxiu, he smiled and asked slowly: "You think so, brother?"
Mu Yuxiu felt that his heart was bleeding.
If Sheng Qizhou really announced the news of his engagement to Wen Wan, Wen Wan would inevitably be pushed to the forefront, and Sheng Qizhou would certainly suppress it.
On the other hand, Sheng Qizhou knew that he still loved Wen Wan deeply. As Sheng Qizhou expected, if he could not stop all this, he would also erase the negative news about Wen Wan.
So, in the end, it turned out that he was the one who helped Wen Wan become the second young mistress of the wealthy Sheng family?
Mu Yuxiu couldn't imagine it.
Shao Manzhu did not refute on the surface, but said that she would pay attention to the date and discuss it at that time.
"Thank you for your hard work." Sheng Qizhou responded, but he knew very well that Shao Manzhu was perfunctory.
It doesn't matter.
No matter what, Wen Wan finally gave him a chance, and he must marry Wen Wan.
A few people ate quietly.
During the dinner, Mu Yuxiu put down his bowls and chopsticks and took out his cell phone to send a message.
Seeing this, Shao Manzhu frowned and asked, "Axiu, why are you playing with your phone while eating?"
"It's nothing. My secretary sent me a text message asking me about work, so I'll reply to her." Mu Yuxiu took back his phone without changing his expression, raised his eyes and glanced at Wen Wan across from him, with a cold look in his eyes.
After Secretary Bi received Mu Yuxiu's text message, she didn't dare to neglect at all. She didn't eat the New Year's Eve dinner and told a few people to go out.
Her husband asked: "What's going on? It's the Chinese New Year, and your workaholic boss still doesn't stop?"
Secretary Bi was wearing a coat. "He has not been normal in the past year. You cannot judge his behavior with normal thinking. For example, this time, he asked me to drive his car to Sheng's house on the grounds that he needed it for work.
