"Brother, what do you mean?" Hua Chang's hand holding the phone tightened slightly, and his breathing rhythm became disordered.
Marry Qi Mu?
Qi Mu's handsome face, voice, and movements appeared uncontrollably in my mind...
After a moment of trance, countless confusions flooded my mind.
In the receiver, Shen Changmin remained silent, and sighed helplessly.
Hua Chang frowned and said politely, "Brother, I'm divorced after all..."
Even if she agreed, could the Qi family tolerate a divorced woman marrying in?
Shen Changmin heard her hidden meaning and asked with a little excitement: "If the Qi family can accept it, are you willing?"
His words triggered Hua Chang's inner alarm, and a dangerous atmosphere filled the air.
Her intuition told her that there was something fishy going on.
Hua Chang did not answer immediately: "Why don't you explain the whole story first, and then I will make the decision."
Feeling her defensiveness, Shen Changmin felt a flash of sadness in his heart. Hua Shang was obviously his biological sister, but there was no true love or trust between them.
Thinking of the current situation of the Shen family, he quickly let it go.
After all, Hua Shang is the mother of two children and is not someone who can be easily fooled.
The current state is the normal reaction of an adult.
Thinking of this, he no longer worried about it.
As for the truth that Hua Chang wanted, it would be known sooner or later anyway, so there was no need to hide it.
"Qi Mu is the marriage partner arranged for you by the Shen family."
Shen Changmin was concise and to the point. He paused and then quickly added, "But don't worry, the Shen family will prepare everything you need. If you are wronged in the future, the Shen family will also be your strong backing."
His voice was steady and reliable, but the words he spoke made Hua Chang feel like she was falling into an icy cave.
Qi Mu is actually the marriage partner arranged by the Shen family!
Does Qi Mu himself know about this?
Her identity has not been made public yet, so Qi Mu probably doesn't know about it yet.
But if she didn’t know, how could she explain that Qi Mu had helped her many times?
When it comes to marriages between wealthy families, how can she afford to back down?
A mixture of surprise and confusion lingered in my heart.
But she has met Qi Mu before, and he is completely different from a scumbag like Bo Yunyan. Maybe he will be a good destination for her?
For some unknown reason, Hua Chang saw Qi Mu busy in the kitchen.
A lean waist, strong arms, and a noble and down-to-earth demeanor...
Certain thoughts carried her up into the sky.
Hua Chang's calm heart was filled with ripples, and she seemed to be fully mature.
What is she thinking about?
"Shangshang, are you listening?"
Shen Changmin, who had not received a response for a long time, could not help but worry. Did she have other concerns?
"Okay, I understand." Hua Shang responded in an unnatural tone.
It's hard to concentrate.
Zining is her daughter, and has always given her peace of mind since she was a child. Even she has asked many times if Qi Mu can be her father, so shouldn't she reject the child's kindness?
A chaotic stream of thoughts kept hitting her heart.
Shen Changmin on the other end of the phone was eager to get an accurate answer.
"Shangshang, are you willing?"
Hua Chang forced herself to calm down: "Brother, I need to think about it carefully. I have something else to do. Let's talk next time."
After that, without waiting for Shen Changmin to speak, she hung up the phone in a hurry.
Hua Shang closed her eyes and fell onto the soft bed, breathing deeply, trying to ease the restlessness in her heart.
On the other side, the Qi family.
Qi Mu had just returned from exercise. He casually glanced at the note flashing on the screen and pressed the answer button.
"What's up?"
"Such a cold tone!" Xie Ze complained dissatisfiedly: "Can't I chat with you when there's nothing wrong?"
"Um."
Hearing this, Xie Ze was speechless.
Xie Ze on the other end of the phone was furious and punched the air, but he was also trying to estimate Qi Mu's tolerance limit.
A second before he hung up the phone, she said in time: "Something's going on!"
"explain."
Qi Mu was busy with his own business, being frugal with words.
He has known Xie Ze for a long time. This kid will take advantage of others if he is given a little sunshine. He cannot be tolerated.
Xie Ze didn't care: "Tonight is the birthday party of the Shen family's daughter. Even I sent an invitation, so you can't have one, right?"
Without waiting for Qi Mu to answer, he continued: "Are you curious about the purpose of this birthday party?"
Listening to his frivolous speech, Qi Mu sneered: "Get to the point."
Xie Ze murmured, "It's boring," but didn't dare to challenge Qi Mu.
He grew up surrounded by women. What kind of beauties has he not seen?
It is rumored that the daughter of the Shen family is extremely beautiful, but he is not allowed to be curious about the purpose of the birthday party?
I heard that the Shen family has an adopted daughter. Maybe the one I saw in Changxiang Pavilion last time was just an adopted daughter?
"I want to ask you if you want to go." Xie Ze's voice was weak and he looked like a dehydrated fish.
Qi Mu curled his lips, and the word "not going" was about to come out of his mouth.
"Whose birthday party did you just say it was?"
"The daughter of the Shen family."
"go."
The short word startled Xie Ze so much that he jumped up suddenly.
He swallowed in disbelief and asked cautiously, "Really?"
Is this a ghost? He was prepared for Qi Mu to refuse, and then he would secretly invite a few friends to go together.
He actually agreed!
Could it be that he suddenly became interested in his future marriage partner?
Qi Mu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and asked about the time and place.
There are so many banquets, big and small, in the circle, and he doesn't want to attend any of them. It's troublesome.
It is inevitable to feel annoyed when seeing those hypocritical and flattering faces too much.
But the Shen family was different. They took this opportunity to cancel the engagement to avoid future disputes.
This is the real reason why Qi Mu agreed to attend the birthday party.
Ignoring the chatterbox Xie Ze, Qi Mu tapped the screen lightly: "Anything else?"
Xie Ze's chatter came to an abrupt end.
You find him annoying already after just a few words?
Alas, this is all the brotherhood we have built over the years.
Before he had time to feel sad for long, thinking that Qi Mu would really hang up the phone, he hurriedly told him the real purpose of the call.
"Ahem, what are your plans for today? I want to go check out that piece of land in the eastern suburbs."
Xie Ze appears to be a playboy to outsiders, but he is very dedicated to his business.
Otherwise, Qi Mu wouldn't have interacted with him so much.
This time Qi Mu didn't hesitate: "I'm busy, I have an appointment."
"Who did you meet? A man or a woman?"
"No comment."
Xie Ze's heart was filled with bitterness: "Oh my, I have nothing to say yet. Don't be fooled without me here."
Someone actually made an appointment with Qi Mu first. How damn annoying!
I haven't told him yet, and from what he said, he doesn't plan to take him with him.
That’s too much!
Thinking of Hua Shang, Qi Mu's tough facial lines couldn't help but soften a little, the upward curve of his mouth corners enlarged, and a little light flickered in his eyes.
"Stop asking questions."
