Chapter 90: Cutting off ties with the Mu family
She lowered her head, her gaze falling on the scattered clothes beside the bed. Some were crumpled together, some slung carelessly over the backs of chairs, silently telling of the madness and passion of the previous night. Mu Nanyan's face instantly flushed, like a ripe apple. She sheepishly smoothed her hair across her forehead, a mixture of emotions welling up within her. The curiosity and shyness of a first experience, coupled with the uneasiness and uncertainty of the unknown future.
She dressed carefully, each movement being extremely cautious, fearing to disturb the delicate tranquility. After getting dressed, Mu Nanyan began searching the suite for Lu Yiran, a mixture of anticipation and nervousness rising in her heart. However, the room was empty except for her, and even Lu Yiran's presence seemed to have vanished without a trace on the morning breeze.
"Is he gone?"
Mu Nanyan couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, mixed with confusion and resentment. Everything that happened last night was both a sudden accident and a heart-wrenching experience for her. She couldn't understand why, after such an intimate moment, he chose to leave so quietly, leaving her with an empty room and a heart full of doubts.
Mu Nanyan walked to the window and gently opened the curtains to let more sunlight into the room, trying to use this warm light to dispel the haze in her heart. She looked out the window at the bustling city scene, but her heart was unusually calm, as if everything last night was just a dream, a beautiful but short dream.
"What were we last night?"
Mu Nanyan asked herself silently in her heart. This question was like a huge rock, weighing heavily on her heart.
In the end, Mu Nanyan sighed softly and decided not to dwell on the past. No matter whether what happened last night was an arrangement of fate or a joke of destiny, she believed that time would give the best answer.
Mu Nanyan's attitude and feelings towards Lu Yiran also quietly changed because of this incident.
Mu Nanyan did not call Lu Yiran to ask, after all, it was Lu Yiran who saved him. Compared to being touched by that old man, Mu Nanyan could accept that it was Lu Yiran. After all, they were husband and wife now. As for what happened next, let's talk about it later. She has more important things to deal with now.
Mu Nanyan found her bag on the sofa, took out her cell phone from it, found a phone number, and called it directly.
"Hello, Yanyan, I was just about to call you."
As soon as Mu Nanyan answered the phone, she heard Mu Feng's very attentive voice from the other end. When Mu Nanyan heard Mu Feng's attitude, she felt a little confused.
"That contract is definitely not going to be negotiated. Why does Mu Feng have this attitude? Shouldn't he be angry?"
Mu Nanyan suppressed the doubts in her heart and said to Mu Feng:
"What do you want from me?"
"This morning, Mr. Xu told me that you knew Mr. Lu from Dingsheng Group. Is that true? If you had told me earlier, I definitely wouldn't have let you negotiate the contract."
It turned out to be because of Lu Yiran. No wonder he was so attentive. Mu Nanyan felt relieved and spoke more confidently:
"How dare you bring up cooperation, Mu Feng? You say you treat me like your own daughter, but do you actually treat me like your own daughter? You privately reached an agreement with Xu Fanghai, saying you wanted me to negotiate the contract, but you just want me to sleep with you so you can secure the cooperation."
Mu Feng hadn't expected that Mu Nanyan actually knew about it. He felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, the two of them were talking on the phone, so Mu Nanyan couldn't see the expression on his face. He pretended to be calm and said:
"Yan Yan, what are you talking about? How could I possibly do this to you? Did someone tell you something? I never thought Xu Fanghai would be such a person. I will never work with him again. There's no way I'd sell my daughter for a partnership."
"I don't believe you, you idiot!"
Mu Nanyan complained in her heart. She didn't believe that Mu Feng didn't want to cooperate with Xu Fanghai because of her. Most likely, he thought that Mu Nanyan knew Lu Yiran and could rely on this relationship to make the company bigger and stronger. Mu Nanyan would not let him succeed.
"Okay, you don't have to tell me this, Mu Feng. Regarding what happened last night, you've completely exhausted the little bit of father-daughter love we had. The three things I promised you before are now null and void. I won't do anything for you anymore."
When Mu Nanyan said this, her face was full of determination, without a trace of regret. She didn't want to have anything to do with the Mu family at all. Seeing that his sweet talk didn't work, Mu Feng's face began to look better:
"Yan Yan, I've raised you for so many years. Can you just say you're done with me? Even a dog I've raised for twenty years has feelings for you, right? You're just going to walk away like that? You're dreaming. Let me tell you, if you don't help me connect with Mr. Lu and help our Mu Group overcome this crisis, I won't let you go. Besides, you messed up this whole thing in the first place. I've raised you for over twenty years. It's not too much for you to help me with a client, right? It doesn't matter who you sleep with. You're already married anyway."
Mu Nanyan didn't expect Mu Feng to say such words. This must be what he was thinking in his heart. Now he can't pretend anymore?
"I don't know Mr. Lu from Dingsheng. He just saved me out of kindness and then left. I don't have his contact information. I recorded what you just said. You even admitted that you did it on purpose. You were setting me up. If I call the police, guess what the consequences will be?"
Mu Feng's face turned pale when he heard this. He never expected that Mu Nanyan would actually record the conversation. If she really called the police, he would probably go to jail. He never thought that he would have Mu Nanyan's evidence against him. He was really careless this time.
Mu Feng calmed down and said forbearingly:
"What do you want?"
"What I want is very simple. You have raised me for so many years, and I am not an ungrateful person. I will not send you to jail, but from now on, your Mu family and I will no longer have any relationship. Don't even think about asking me to do anything for you in the future."
Mu Feng hesitated. If he let those people know that Mu Nanyan had nothing to do with him, he might never get help again. But Mu Nanyan was just a little girl, she shouldn't cause any trouble. Mu Nanyan didn't know of their existence and probably wouldn't take the initiative to look for them. Maybe this matter could be kept secret.
After Mu Feng figured it out, he answered very straightforwardly:
"Okay, from now on you are no longer my daughter, Mu Feng. You have nothing to do with the Mu family, and I will not look for you again."
Mu Nanyan hadn't expected Mu Feng to agree so quickly. She was a little confused. Was Mu Feng really threatened? In fact, she hadn't recorded anything at all. It was all nonsense. But when did Mu Feng become so easy to fool?
