Chapter 956: Vicious
Apologize and then forgive? Mu Yan raised her eyebrow; did they think things were really that simple?Or did they think that, considering the relationship between the two families, if she wasn’t really hurt, then a big issue should be diminished and a small one eliminated?
She tugged at the corner of her mouth. Did she look that kind-hearted?
"Mom, your request is a bit excessive." Guan Chao’s voice suddenly sounded.
He stood up and looked at Mu Yan saying, "It was my doing, so you can handle it however you want."
Mrs. Guan’s expression changed slightly as she looked at her son. Was he crazy?
Although it was attempted murder, it could still lead to imprisonment, and once it was publicized, his future would be ruined.
Mu Yan didn’t expect Guan Chao to take responsibility like this and asked, "I don’t think we have any deep hatred between us."
Those childhood squabbles were mostly him bullying her, and furthermore, it was so many years ago, she had long forgotten about him and had no more interactions with him.
"Who told you to offend my woman?" Guan Chao chuckled, "Since you’re someone she hates, of course, as a man, I need to get back at you for her."
However, he didn’t expect Mu Yan to be Zhuang Xiangnuan.
"Is that so? Then I’m quite curious about who detests me so much." Mu Yan raised an eyebrow.
"Haven’t you already figured it out?" Guan Chao retorted.
To have forced his family to come to the Zhuang Family to apologize, she indeed had some skills.
"Nuannuan, what are you talking about?" Ruan Xinyu asked, "Who did you actually offend?"
Mu Yan was about to speak when she caught sight of someone coming down the stairs, and she tugged at her lips, "Better let Young Master Guan say it, otherwise someone might think I’m using my position for personal revenge, deliberately framing."
Everyone looked at each other, it seemed this person was someone they knew, and she was a woman.
Guan Chao chuckled lightly, looking rather rakish, "Since I was a kid I knew, when I grow up, I want to marry a daughter from the Zhuang Family. The Zhuang Family has only two daughters, if it’s not you, who else could it be?"
Mu Yan was noncommittal, her expression calm as she looked at Mr. Zhuang and Old Mrs. Zhuang, obviously indicating that she believed what Guan Chao said.
"Are you saying Jiaojiao?" Mrs. Zhuang looked stunned.
The talk of tying the knot between the Zhuang and Guan families was just a joke back then by the two family elders. Young Guan Chao loved to bully Zhuang Xiangnuan the most when he was a child, so they were regarded as a happy mismatched couple, and it couldn’t be better for the two families to be in-laws.
Yet, no one ever took it seriously.
Later on, when the Ning Family brought Ning Shishen to Beijing for a visit, Ning Shishen took good care of Zhuang Xiangnuan, and the Zhuang family elders felt that their little darling should find such a considerate and warm young man as a husband, hence they were moved by the idea.
"What does this have to do with Jiaojiao? If she was really dating you, how come I didn’t know?" Liang Rong’s voice suddenly came, she quickly walked over, her expression looking somewhat haggard, evidently, she didn’t rest well last night.
That’s right, there was never any talk of Zhuang Chujiao dating Guan Chao.
Everyone else was also skeptical and uncertain, even though they knew the hatred between Zhuang Chujiao and Mu Yan ran deep, they were still unwilling to believe in such betrayal between sisters.
So, was this a frame-up by the young Guan? But why was he so insistent it was Jiaojiao and not someone else?
Guan Chao shrugged, looking completely roguish, "What dating? It was just a few nights together, helping her fix a situation was merely a transaction, I never intended to marry her, especially now that the rightful one has returned."
As he spoke, he looked at Mu Yan with interest, his eyes glinting like a wolf’s.
Mu Yan’s brow furrowed slightly, with a trace of displeasure in her eyes, this person was just as despicable as when they were children.
