However, Mu Wanqing had said so much, and if I said anything more it would seem like I was targeting her.
Si Borong has never been a person who is ignorant of the times.
His eyes rolled over Mu Wanqing, then turned to Mu Xing'an and Qin Liwen, and he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and said earnestly: "It's good that you two love each other, but marriage is something that only men can understand and cherish.
Besides, don't you girls all love the feeling of being proposed to? This is a lifelong thing, why rush it so?
I think it would be better if we could do this. I heard that Li Jue is looking for a secretary recently. If you're interested, you can give it a try. Living under the same roof will definitely help your relationship grow faster. We can then discuss the wedding. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
Si Borong's words were so flawless that it was impossible to refute them, and some even felt that they made sense.
Mu Xing'an and Qin Liwen both nodded. "I think this is a good suggestion. Wanqing's major is also suitable. With Li Jue taking care of her, we can rest assured."
Mu Wanqing was anxious, with anger flashing in her almond-shaped eyes. She felt that Si Borong was targeting her. If she had a way to get close to Si Lijue, how could she let her parents come to Si Jianhui to talk about marriage?
Si Lijue has been rejecting her for a few days now, and she finds it very strange. She is beautiful and has a good family background. The men chasing her can line up all around South City. Why does he look down on her?
Mu Wanqing bit her lips tightly, and her black pearl-like eyes showed confusion and tension.
"What do you think of my proposal, Wanqing?" Si Borong asked.
"I'll follow Uncle Borong's arrangements." Mu Wanqing smiled sweetly, then frowned and said, "However, I told Brother Li Jue before that I wanted to be his secretary, but Brother Li Jue refused because he was afraid that I would be tired. So, I'm worried about what to do if Brother Li Jue doesn't let me go."
If I remember correctly, when she proposed to work in the secretariat, Si Lijue didn't respond the first time, and the second time he said that you don't have enough education... Anyway, now that Si Lijue is not here, he just lets her talk nonsense.
"Don't worry about that. I'll tell you." Si Jianhui said, "I, your grandfather, have already spoken. Do you dare not give me face?"
Si Jianhui's words were like a reassurance to Mu Wanqing. Her brows relaxed and she smiled sweetly once again. "Thank you, Grandpa!"
Mu Wanqing was very happy to be able to work with Si Lijue. Her sweet words were like pouring beans, making Si Jianhui smile from ear to ear.
Only Si Borong, like an outsider, had a faint smile on his face. He said nothing, but he understood everything and looked extraordinary as if he had seen through everything.
Seeing that scene, Si Jianhui was furious again.
After discussing the marriage of Mu Wanqing and Si Lijue, Si Jianhui wanted to keep them for dinner, but unfortunately Mu Xingan had something urgent to deal with, so he left.
As they were walking out, Lu Jingyi was walking in with something in his hand and accidentally bumped into Mu Wanqing.
Mu Wanqing glared at him fiercely, but when she saw it was Lu Jingyi, she suddenly retracted her gaze, with a strange look on her face.
Lu Jingyi: “…” Where did this demon come from?
He was just distracted for a moment, and Mu Wanqing had already walked away behind her parents.
Looking at her back, Lu Jingyi fell into deep thought. He always felt that this face was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Of course he was familiar with her. He had just burned her million-dollar skirt some time ago, and Si Lijue withheld her pocket money, and they were still at odds.
Si Borong also happened to come out. He turned his head to look at the pensive Lu Jingyi. A gleam flashed in his eagle eyes. He asked lazily, "Did you hear the news and come here too?"
Lu Jingyi was confused, "What?"
Si Borong pointed at Mu Wanqing's back and said, "Mu Wanqing, Li Jue's fiancée."
"What?!" Lu Jingyi jumped up. "Fuck, are you kidding me? When did my brother get a fiancée?"
Damn, where did this plastic surgery guy come from? How can he be so pretentious!
Lu Jingyi was furious, his eyes were wide open, and he rolled up his sleeves, ready to rush up and fight in the next second.
"It's just been decided. The old man himself acted as the matchmaker. It's Mu Wanqing, the only daughter of the Mu family. Her father holds an important position in South City. Rumor has it that he will be promoted soon and transferred to work in Kyoto." Si Boyong said.
"So he was worried about leaving and sending his daughter to my brother as his fiancée? Why did he think someone else would take over?"
"The Si family and the Mu family are a perfect match, and the Mu family is a prominent family. Marrying them will only bring more benefits to the Si family."
"I don't care what's good or bad about him. My brother and Sister Bao'er have finally reconciled, how can I let them come here and cause trouble?" Lu Jingyi said indignantly: "Doesn't my brother know about this? No, I have to tell him, don't throw any scumbags at me. Mu Wanqing is a green tea bitch, don't even think about being my sister-in-law!"
After this incident, Lu Jingyi finally remembered who this person was, Mu Wanqing. He would never forget that this woman had framed him before!
The more Lu Jingyi thought about it, the angrier he became. He stuffed the cake in his hand into Si Borong's arms and ran away in a hurry.
Seeing this, Si Borong walked into the room carrying the pastries and placed them on the coffee table. His eyes caught sight of the place on the sofa where Mu Wanqing had just sat, and his expression froze.
He finally understood why he felt Mu Wanqing looked familiar. Her face was very similar to Mu Baoer's, and when he saw Mu Baoer for the first time, he felt that this person looked familiar.
Could it be a coincidence?
Si Borong pressed his brows together, pursed his lips and began to think.
I heard that Mu Wanqing was abducted as a child and was found and recognized five years ago, and Mu Baoer was able to trace her back five years ago... The time just happened to overlap, so something must have been missed.
Si Borong pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and called Song Nan, "Mu Xing'an's only daughter, Mu Wanqing's information, go check it out, especially from five years ago."
Mu Wanqing recalled Si Borong's attitude at the Si family just now. She bit her lip lightly and said with a wronged look, "Daddy, Mommy, what did Uncle Borong mean just now? Did he stop my marriage with Brother Li Jue because he doesn't like me?"
She just wanted to marry Si Lijue now and didn't want to wait even a second longer.
"I also think my daughter is right. What's Si Borong's attitude? Our family has already spoken first, but he still acts so condescending. Does he really think we're marrying up to the Si family?"
Qin Liwen was the first one to be unhappy when she saw her daughter being wronged. She held her beloved child in her arms, and now she was in such a state, what would happen to her after she got married?
"It's not Si Borong who makes the decision in the Si family. As long as the old man and Li Jue agree, there's no getting around it. What he said was unpleasant but reasonable. The two children haven't seen each other for a long time and they really need to cultivate their relationship first. If their relationship is not good, it will be like Si Borong and the one from the Lu family. A forced marriage will only make people laugh at them." Mu Xing'an said.
