Shi Jue was confused, "Mom, what do you mean?"

Su Manyun approached mysteriously, "The men of the Shi family have a terrifying thing hidden in their blood."

"Twenty years ago, Shi Zhengyang lost control once. Tao Nianwan was kidnapped that day, and to save her, he single-handedly slaughtered half of the kidnappers' lair, and blood flowed like a river..."

Shi Jue gasped, "Father...?"

"This is the most secret curse of the Shi family."

Su Manyun's eyes flashed strangely, "The direct descendants of the Shi family all carry this violent gene, and they will eventually destroy the people they love most with their own hands."

"Mom! How do you know this?"

Su Manyun explained: "Although I have only been in the Shi family for a year, I have secretly investigated a lot for you over the years."

"The old lady's personal servant followed me. A few days ago, when I was sorting out the old man's belongings, I found a diary."

She lowered her voice even more. "It's clearly written in the old man's diary that every generation of the Shi family's eldest son will experience this kind of loss of control."

"After that incident twenty years ago, Shi Zhengyang locked himself in the basement for three whole months and almost died."

Su Manyun suddenly laughed nervously, with a crazy light in her eyes.

"Now that I think about it, the old lady has always been against Shi Heng and Gu Youran being together because she's afraid that history will repeat itself."

She grabbed Shi Jue's hand and said, "Just wait and see, when Shi Heng goes completely crazy..."

"Mom!" Shi Jue pulled his hand back abruptly, feeling a little scared.

Su Manyun had returned to her elegant sitting posture, but that creepy smile was still on the corner of her mouth.

"What are you afraid of?"

She slowly adjusted her cuffs, "Shi Zhengyang is lucky to have made it through, but Shi Heng..."

Her red lips curled up in a cruel arc, "The deeper his love, the faster he will go crazy. When the time comes..."

Her voice was as soft as a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, "You are the rightful heir of the Shi family."

…

The next morning, at the Mu family's old house.

The scandal between Mu Xuewei and her bodyguard Ajiu has caused a sensation in Beijing's top social circles.

The once glorious eldest daughter of the Mu family has now become the topic of conversation among people in the circle.

After returning to the old house these days, even the servants at home looked at her strangely.

"My lady, the master asks you to go to the study immediately."

The housekeeper knocked on the door for the fifth time, his tone already filled with obvious impatience, "The master said if you don't come over..."

"I understand." Mu Xuewei finally responded.

She slowly stood up and stood in front of the mirror in the dressing room to fix her makeup.

This week of staying indoors helped her figure out a lot of things.

As she walked through the corridor, Mu Xuewei heard deliberately suppressed discussions coming from the lounge.

She slowed down and saw her cousins ​​who usually tried to please her sitting together.

“That’s ridiculous!”

Mu Yuqing slammed her phone heavily onto the marble coffee table. The news headline on the screen read "Chu Group is on the verge of bankruptcy."

"The Chu family is in such a state, and Chu Beiyuan still has the nerve to propose marriage?"

Mu Yuxin stirred her coffee and said sarcastically, "I heard Chu Beiyuan was so guilty that he couldn't sleep all night."

She deliberately lowered her voice and said, "If you ask me, he wants to use marriage to atone for his sins, right?"

"Atonement?" Mu Yuxuan laughed shrilly. "I think you've reached your wit's end!"

She suddenly caught sight of Mu Xuewei in the corridor and deliberately raised her voice, "Oh, some people are now worthy of such a poor family!"

Mu Xuewei stood where she was, her nails digging deep into her palms.

She clearly remembered how Mu Yuxuan knelt down in front of her and begged desperately to get an invitation to the charity dinner just three months ago.

The flattering smile of this cousin at that time and her sarcastic face now are completely different.

"Don't say that," Mu Yuxin advised hypocritically, "Sister Xuewei used to be so good to us..."

"Okay?" Mu Yuqing played with her new diamond-studded manicure. "It's just charity."

"She always makes us follow her like followers at every banquet, and now..." She looked towards the corridor meaningfully.

"I want to see whether this young lady is going to marry a poor man or continue to stay in the Mu family and become a joke!"

Mu Xuewei looked at the bloody marks on her palms and suddenly felt extremely ironic.

Everyone thought that since Chu Beiyuan felt guilty, she should be grateful and accept this marriage that was like charity.

These so-called relatives are now eager to see her make a fool of herself.

A burst of shrill laughter broke out in the lounge.

Mu Xuewei straightened her back and walked towards the study without looking back.

She would rather travel far away alone than become anyone's atonement.

Especially Chu Beiyuan's.

In the study, Mr. Mu sat behind the mahogany desk.

Mu Xueruo stood obediently beside the old man, stroking the diamond bracelet on her wrist with her fingertips.

This was her birthday gift three days ago, and it was finally not the style that Mu Xuewei had left out.

There was an unconcealable pleasure in her eyes.

She had waited too long for this day.

"Xuewei," the old man said straight to the point, "Chu Beiyuan has sent someone to propose marriage, saying he's willing to marry you. If you don't agree, he'll go to Country Y in three days."

Mu Xuerou took a half step forward, "Grandpa, Master Chu is so outstanding and so sincere..."

She paused deliberately, her eyes sweeping over Mu Xuewei, "Sister, your current situation is really..."

"I need three days to think about it."

Mu Xuewei interrupted calmly, without any emotion in her voice.
