Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Bai Family’s Old House
He was just trying to hook up with a girl, who knew he had such bad luck and ended up getting involved with a scheming bitch, resulting in a life being created.
That kind of scheming bitch, not to mention his family wouldn’t agree, he dared not marry her, but also dared not let his family know. Who knew he would be caught by his cousin, who said she’d help him deal with that scheming bitch if he handled one task for her.
Worried that the scheming bitch would cause a scene at home, making everything chaotic, he agreed without thinking.
If he’d known the task was to follow Bai Chenyao, he wouldn’t have done it even if it killed him.
Luckily, his cousin didn’t have any other excessive demands, just to follow and be discovered.
Damn... it seemed very simple, and as long as he got discovered and was questioned, just mentioning she had already returned to the country and bringing up the marriage agreement, he didn’t need to do anything else. Why did it feel like being grilled over a fire?
Song Qiang stood there and cursed, then turned to get into the car, leaving the dead-end alley.
——
The Bai Family’s old house, study on the first floor.
An old man with a head full of silver hair was practicing calligraphy while standing.
Despite his age, his strokes were vigorous and powerful, flowing freely yet with an unspeakable sharpness.
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
Old Sir Bai finished writing the last word but didn’t look up, admiring his masterpiece instead.
"Come in!"
A middle-aged man around fifty pushed the door open and walked in, looking respectful.
"Sir."
Old Sir Bai still didn’t look up, his voice was indifferent.
"Any news?"
The middle-aged man was named Lu Kang, who had served the Bai Family for many years and deeply trusted by Old Sir Bai.
"Yes, we just got news today. That Miss Gu went to Xia Country’s Administrative University to study. On Young Master’s way back, he encountered someone arranged by the Mu Family’s heiress, Song Qiang. By now, he should already know about the longstanding marriage agreement between the Bai Family and the Mu Family."
As Old Sir Bai listened, the corner of his lips twitched, as if smiling, yet not quite, his expression remained indifferent.
"Ha! Indeed worthy of the Mu Family’s old man’s choice of heir, such scheming is evident."
Lu Kang nodded, fully agreeing with the old man’s opinion.
Had Mu Haiyun returned home and directly looked for the Young Master, based on the Young Master’s temperament, she would have definitely been shut out.
Therefore, the Mu Family’s heiress simply instructed a not particularly close cousin to intentionally leak the news of the longstanding marriage agreement to the Young Master.
From an outsider’s perspective, it seemed that Miss Mu Haiyun was not simply yielding to or accepting of this marriage, but had her own opinions.
Thus, having someone follow the Young Master to see what kind of person he really was.
Actually, she was taking this opportunity to tell the Young Master that she’s not someone to be trifled with, and if he’s not the person she favors, he shouldn’t think of using the marriage agreement to bind her.
The pride and arrogance of someone in power were fully displayed.
There was even an unspeakable pride.
Men!
Though they seem varied, in many ways, they are the same.
If Mu Haiyun were like those other women, sticking herself to him, declaring she wouldn’t marry anyone else, it’s likely the Young Master would completely ignore her.
But if, as it is now, she shows some reservations about this marriage, if the Young Master is also dissatisfied with this marriage, then if he wants to break off the engagement, he would at least have to meet Miss Mu Haiyun once.
Lu Kang was absolutely certain that what Mu Haiyun had Song Qiang do was merely to arrange a meeting with the Young Master.
