She looked at her son and carefully instructed him, "You understand what your father means."
"Mom knows you still have some lingering feelings for that Ji Zhinan, but her lowly status means she's not worthy of being our Mu family's daughter-in-law."
"However, if she is willing to behave and whisper sweet nothings in Gu Yibei's ear to bring benefits to the Mu family, your father and I can turn a blind eye to her."
"But you can only keep her as a mistress for life. Don't forget to take her to the hospital for sterilization. Your children and the Mu family's descendants can only come out of Ji Zhixia's womb. Ji Zhinan is not worthy of giving birth!"
In fact, Mu Zeyu didn't love Ji Zhixia very deeply, especially after Ji Zhixia was disfigured. Her face was stiff and unnatural after the surgery, and Mu Zeyu felt like he was living with a bunch of hyaluronic acid.
Even if they feel resentful, they still have to marry him. That's how it is in wealthy families; marriage is an important shackle to solidify the relationship between the two families.
To stabilize the Ji family, he had to marry Ji Zhixia.
If we disregard identity and choose between Ji Zhixia and Ji Zhinan, Mu Zeyu wouldn't even glance at Ji Zhixia.
Who would abandon a natural beauty for a surgically enhanced face? He's a normal man.
Originally, he forced himself to let go of Ji Zhinan and make her give up because of the arranged marriage, but now that his parents have finally relented, Mu Zeyu's restless heart is stirring again.
If she's really smart, she'll definitely seize this opportunity to be with me.
………………
Ji Zhinan was packing his things when he received a call from Mu Zeyu.
She was speechless and hung up without hesitation. The other end called back quickly, and Ji Zhinan hung up again.
This went on for several times. After hanging up the fifth time, Ji Zhinan impatiently dialed Mu Zeyu's phone number, intending to add him to her blacklist.
After clicking "Block this caller ID," a confirmation message popped up. Without hesitation, she chose "Block contact" over "Cancel."
Her fingertip touched the screen, and at the same time, Mu Zeyu's call popped up on her phone. Her finger landed right on the answer button, and the call was connected.
“Nan Nan…” It was Mu Zeyu’s deeply affectionate voice on the other end.
Ji Zhinan found him annoying and put the phone to his ear: "Young Master Mu, are you very free?"
"Nan Nan, you need to change your temper. If you continue like this, you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later."
Mu Zeyu ignored Ji Zhinan's words and continued talking to himself.
"I've called you here today to tell you some good news, which may be very unexpected for you. Even I couldn't believe it when I heard it. My parents... have given their approval for us to be together."
"..."
There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and Mu Zeyu assumed that Ji Zhinan was so happy that he went crazy.
He smiled gently and continued, "The fact that they are willing to accept you is a very good sign for us; at least it gives us hope for the future."
“However, Zhinan, there are conditions to being with me. The Mu family has suffered severe losses recently and must secure a major project worth over 100 million to recover them. I know you understand what I mean. You are Gu Yibei’s mistress now, so coaxing him to invest is not difficult for you.”
“My mom said that as long as you can do this well, she will stop interfering with us, and I won’t hold your relationship with Gu Yibei against you. In my heart, you will always be the purest.”
