Chapter 814: I Only Want to Marry You (4)
Downstairs, Mr. Mu’s expression was still alright, but Ms. Wang’s was extremely unpleasant.
Jiayu was slightly stunned, feeling the person holding her hand pause, with a cold gaze and a slightly stiff tone: "Dad, Mom, we’re leaving now."
After speaking, without lingering, he pulled Jiayu and headed out. Mu Xin had never seen such a scene at home, and momentarily stood there in a daze, not daring to speak.
Ms. Wang seemed to be infuriated by Mu Ke, shaking all over, and just as they reached the hallway, she shouted, "Mu Ke, stop right there."
Even Jiayu was startled, Mu Ke just paused in his steps, didn’t turn back, and then continued to walk forward.
"If you dare walk out that door today, I don’t have you as a son."
These words didn’t stop Mu Ke’s footsteps but completely rooted Jiayu in place. What on earth had happened? Why had things suddenly turned out this way?
Jiayu stood firmly in place, grabbing Mu Ke with her hand, forcing him to stop as well.
Mu Xin quickly ran over to smooth things over: "Brother, what’s going on? Don’t be impulsive."
Mu Ke frowned, looking down at Jiayu, his thin lips moved slightly, not making a sound, but Jiayu understood.
He was soothing her startled emotions.
Ms. Wang stood motionless, and Mr. Mu sighed deeply and walked over: "Miss Sheng, we would like to talk with you."
Jiayu was about to call, but Mu Ke’s cold voice had already come: "I’ve already said everything that needs to be said, there’s no need for you to talk."
"Mu Ke! We are your parents, how can you talk to your parents like that."
Mr. Mu’s face darkened as well, Jiayu scratched his palm and then smiled at Mr. Mu: "Sure."
Mu Ke was forcibly left outside by Mr. Mu and Mu Xin, leaving only Jiayu and Ms. Wang to go to their room.
Ms. Wang’s expression softened a little, and she directly cut to the chase: "Miss Sheng, I am sorry, but as Mu Ke’s mother, I need to tell you our stance, I don’t agree with your marriage."
This outcome was expected, but Jiayu didn’t think she would say it so directly.
Jiayu pressed her lips together and started: "Aunt, I want to be with Mu Ke; if it’s because of my status, you..."
Her words were abruptly cut off by Ms. Wang: "I cannot accept a daughter-in-law who has been divorced."
Jiayu’s voice stopped abruptly.
Divorced...
So it’s because of this.
Her complexion stiffened slightly as Ms. Wang continued: "You’ve been divorced, and your family background is so good, I don’t want anyone to point fingers at our family, saying Mu Ke is greedy for wealth, married into a wealthy family, we don’t have such big ambitions, we just want Mu Ke to find a girl with a matching status, and live a stable life, Miss Sheng, I hope you understand our intentions as parents."
Jiayu’s face paled further, she thought the change in Mu Ke’s parents’ attitude was solely due to her status, never considered it was because of this.
If it were just because of her status, it would be manageable, but if it’s because she was divorced... that’s an unchangeable fact, she has no power to alter that.
Indeed, how did she forget? When she was still undecided about being with Mu Ke, she was tangled over this issue too, how could she forget now?
She herself cared once, so why would it be strange for Mu Ke’s parents to care?
