Chapter 131 Song Lifan approaches Zhou Yue to negotiate a marriage deal with Zhou Mu.
Zhou Mu remained unmoved by Song Lifan's pursuit and, unable to bear it any longer, directly rejected him, saying, "Song Lifan, I don't know where your affection for me comes from. Is it because of the previous misunderstanding? But you didn't really want to die, so I can't say that I saved your life."
"Aside from that, we don't have any other interaction. I don't think I've given you any wrong signals. I'm not planning on dating right now, so could you please stop bothering me?"
"Did my pursuit of you bother you?" Song Lifan looked at her dejectedly.
"Yes, I have a lot of things to do, not dating. You're wasting a lot of my time."
"sorry."
"No need to apologize, just don't bother me again in the future."
“Okay.” Song Lifan agreed, but still asked with a glimmer of hope, “You… really don’t like me at all? You once comforted me by revealing your own wounds and gently guided me.”
Zhou Mu said firmly, "No, I only feel sympathy and mutual understanding for you because we are in the same boat. I would have done the same for anyone else that day."
Song Lifan didn't want to look into her cold, calm eyes, so he lowered his head and said, "Okay."
After that day, Song Lifan really distanced herself from Zhou Mu, but she did not find the peace she wanted. Instead, one healthy and outstanding suitor after another appeared around her, causing her great distress. Every day after class, she would hug her books and hide in the library.
Feifei and Han Jie were all lovey-dovey. Seeing Zhou Mu looking like she was destined to be alone forever, Feifei couldn't help but advise her, "Mu Mu, with your great qualities, being young and beautiful, it's no harm to date someone you like. It's a good way to spice things up. If you don't like them anymore, you can just break up."
Han Jie felt a sense of crisis upon hearing this, "So Feifei, do you treat me the same way?"
"Of course not. I'm very serious about you, and I like you a lot too, but who can predict the future?"
Seeing the sadness in Han Jie's eyes, Fei Fei didn't feel sorry for him. Instead, she said, "If you ever dare to betray me in the future, I definitely won't want you anymore."
What she didn't say was that although she really liked Han Jie, this was her first relationship and she hadn't met many people. She didn't know if she would become a bad girl if she met someone she liked even more in the future.
Han Jie immediately retorted, "No, I would never do anything to betray you! Don't make such assumptions, it hurts me, Feifei."
Feifei didn't want to really upset her boyfriend, so she quickly coaxed him, "Okay, I was wrong. I won't say things like that again."
Han Jie was immediately appeased and held his girlfriend's hand tightly, satisfied.
Feifei then looked at Zhou Mu, who was smiling but saying nothing, and asked, "What do you think of my suggestion, Mu Mu?"
Zhou Mu nodded, "That makes sense, I'll consider it."
They were focused on their conversation and did not notice that Song Lifan, who was around the corner, already had a gloomy expression on his face.
The appearance of these suitors had already put Song Lifan under immense pressure, but Feifei's words today completely enraged him. Yan Feifei had actually encouraged Mumu to engage in promiscuous behavior! What angered him even more was that Zhou Mu had actually agreed!
Since his injury, Song Lifan has never felt an equal gaze again. That kind of gaze that treats him as a normal person, without pity, without superficial flattery and ingratiation, but actually mocking and disdainful, is only seen from Zhou Mu. Only Zhou Mu would treat him as a normal person.
He couldn't accept that Zhou Mu didn't belong to him, he couldn't accept that his light was shining on someone else, and Song Lifan, who had lost his mind, began to take extreme measures.
Song Lifan had investigated Zhou Yue. He once wished he could kill Zhou Yue to avenge the young Zhou Mu, but now he had to thank Zhou Yue for being a vicious and vain person, which made it easy for him to achieve his goals.
Zhou Yue looked at the imposing young man sitting in the wheelchair with suspicion. He was driving a Rolls-Royce and had several tall, burly bodyguards in black with him, making him look quite intimidating.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Zhou Yue asked.
Song Lifan gestured to the bodyguard to put everything down. "I'm looking for you, Ms. Zhou."
"Do we know each other?" Zhou Yue asked as she watched the tall bodyguards place boxes in front of her.
"Please open it and take a look first," Song Lifan said politely, gesturing with his hand.
Zhou Yue opened the first box, which contained a gold necklace, bracelet, ring, and earrings that were exquisitely crafted and quite heavy.
The second box contains premium blood bird's nest.
The third box: bright red cash.
The fourth box contained a beautiful purple jade bracelet. Although she didn't recognize it, it looked very valuable.
Zhou Yue didn't open the remaining two boxes, looking at Song Lifan with great trepidation, "What do you want from me? I'm sure I don't know you."
Song Lifan smiled and said, "You don't know me, but I know you. To be precise, I know Zhou Mu, and that's how I came to know you."
Zhou Yue looked at Song Lifan warily. Could this be Zhou Mu's lover? Since he knows her, he should also know about the grudge between Zhou Mu and her. What does he want to do with these things?
“Ms. Zhou, if I wanted to deal with you, I wouldn’t have brought these things to your door.” Song Lifan smiled very gently, but for some reason, it made Zhou Yue feel cold. She felt that Song Lifan’s smile was very hypocritical, and he was definitely faking it!
The young man in the wheelchair was very dangerous, Zhou Yue thought to herself, "I don't think there's anything I can do to help you, and I can't accept your kind words."
“No, you can handle it.” Song Lifan finally revealed his true intentions. “I like Mumu.”
Zhou Yue became more wary—no, she should say she was afraid. If the person in front of her really liked Zhou Mu, she would definitely not have an easy time. She knew all too well how vicious her actions towards Zhou Mu had been.
Seeing Zhou Yue's intense fear, Song Lifan smiled slightly, "You don't need to be afraid. No matter what, you are still Mumu's mother. I won't lay a hand on you. I'm here today to seek help."
"I like Mumu, but she doesn't like me. You're her mother, so she'll definitely listen to you, right?"
Zhou Yue shook her head. "No, she won't listen to me. I'm not good to her, and she hates me."
"No child truly hates their parents; she's just disappointed in you. But that disappointment won't last long. It's in a child's nature to be close to their mother."
As Song Lifan spoke, he also thought of Zhou Mu's personality and suddenly changed his tone, "I don't care what method you use to get Zhou Mu to be with me. All these things are yours. When Zhou Mu marries me, I will give you a dowry of 20 million yuan and I will take care of you for the rest of your life."
Song Lifan looked at Zhou Yue with certainty, "How about this deal?"
