Chapter 812: I Only Want to Marry Her (2)
Downstairs, just two minutes after Sheng Jiayu was taken upstairs by Mu Xin, Mu Ke was also called into his parents’ room.
The three of them sat together, looking as serious as if they were in a business negotiation.
Mr. Mu spoke first, "Mu Ke, do you understand her family background? Do you know that the Shengshi Group is not something we can provoke?"
Mu Ke’s usually aloof face showed no expression, he just nodded slightly, "I know."
"You know? You know and yet..."
Mr. Mu softened his tone, "She is the heiress of Shengshi Group. If, by any chance, your marriage doesn’t work out in the future, it would be fine if you part ways amicably. But if it’s not amicable, our Mu Family is finished. The Shengshi Group can crush us like an ant, do you understand?"
Mr. Mu’s words made Mu Ke frown. He understood what his father meant, but the main point he grasped was...
"We won’t break up."
Ms. Wang had been silent the whole time; she suddenly asked, "Has Miss Sheng been divorced?"
Mu Ke didn’t hide anything and nodded. Such matters couldn’t be concealed anyway.
Ms. Wang’s expression changed slightly but she didn’t say anything further.
She recalled how this afternoon, Yang Yushan had come to deliver cookies.
They were very satisfied with Yang Yushan; both families knew each other well, and Yang Yushan was beautiful with a good demeanor. The only issue was her health, which was not strong enough for physical labor, but that wasn’t important, as their family circumstances didn’t require her to do any heavy work.
But since Mu Ke had a girlfriend, Ms. Wang didn’t plan to matchmake them any further. To avoid any awkwardness between Yang Yushan and Sheng Jiayu, she pulled Yang Yushan into the room and told her about Sheng Jiayu.
"Shanshan, we all know your feelings for Mu Ke, but love cannot be forced. Mu Ke has a girlfriend now, and from the looks of it, he’s planning to marry. Aunt doesn’t want to delay you, so I’m being upfront with you."
Yang Yushan’s face turned pale, her eyes instantly welling up with tears, "A... Aunt, you mean he has a girlfriend?"
Ms. Wang, looking awkward, nodded. Yang Yushan was stunned for a full five minutes, a tear slipping down her cheek, then she bit her lip, "I want to know who she is."
Ms. Wang didn’t hide anything, directly stating her name and status, but what she didn’t expect was that Yang Yushan actually knew Sheng Jiayu and even revealed an astonishing secret to her.
"Aunt? Are you guys mistaken? As far as I know, the eldest Miss of the Sheng Family has been married, although later divorced, but how could Ah Nan..."
Ms. Wang’s face suddenly changed, married?
She originally thought maybe Yang Yushan was mistaken. How could Mu Ke like a divorced woman, so she asked Mu Ke to confirm again.
The answer she got was the same.
Ms. Wang said nothing further. Mr. Mu’s focus was obviously elsewhere, and he asked, "Mu Ke, as your parents, we hope you find someone about the same as our family, or a little below, that’s fine too. But ultimately, we hope you find an ordinary person. You’ve never had a girlfriend or been in love. Maybe if you meet more people..."
Mr. Mu’s words were decisively interrupted by Mu Ke: "I only want to marry her."
His voice was cold and resolute, as if this was a matter that couldn’t be changed.
