She stared at Madam Mu with a stubborn look, her emotions spiraling out of control. "Mom, you don't know how much I love him. I don't want anyone else but him, and I don't want to marry anyone else."
Seeing her daughter so persistent, Mrs. Mu couldn't help but feel sorry for her. "But he has already issued a statement. Daughter, he doesn't love you."
“Once we get married, he will slowly fall in love with me,” Mu Yinjing said stubbornly.
It is absolutely impossible for Huo Yanzhi and Ye Xinning to be together. Whether now or in the future, Huo Yanzhi's love is destined to never be fulfilled.
She married Huo Yanzhi, and slowly, little by little, she changed him, and sooner or later she would make him fall in love with her.
But now, Huo Yanzhi wants to break off the engagement.
Mu Yinjing couldn't control her emotions whenever she thought about that statement.
"No, I need to go find Ye Xinning."
As she spoke, she was about to get up when Madam Mu stopped her.
"What can you do to go find her now?"
“I warned her and told her not to contact Huo Yanzhi. That way, Huo Yanzhi will let go of her and marry me.”
Just as Mu Yinjing was about to walk outside, her father walked in from outside, his face grave.
Madam Mu asked, "What's wrong? Did something go wrong at work? Why do you look so sullen when you get back?"
Mu's father took out his phone and pulled up a video.
"Look what good things you've done."
Mu's father tossed the phone to Mu Yinjing, who opened it and saw the video content; her expression changed drastically instantly.
The video shows the moment she spilled coffee on Ye Xinning. The video is very clear, and you can see her face clearly, but you can't see Ye Xinning's face clearly. It has been circulating online recently and has attracted a lot of attention, and many people have a lot of negative opinions about her.
—Isn't this Miss Mu? How can she be so arrogant, throwing coffee at people right away?
—Yeah, I used to think she was pitiful because the president of the Huo Group wanted to break off the engagement with her, but it seems it's all her fault.
—Who can argue with that? But how does the Mu family educate their descendants? How come Miss Mu has such a bad temper?
Mu Yinjing stared at the hurtful comments, her eyes practically popping out of their sockets.
"Ye Xinning".
She called out Ye Xinning's name through gritted teeth.
Mr. Mu was furious. "Do you know how much impact your video has had on the Mu family? Many collaborations that were originally agreed upon have been canceled because of this. We've been calling to say they're cancelled."
Mu Yinjing bit her lower lip, her body trembling. "Ye Xinning, she schemed against me. She actually used this video to scheme against me."
At this moment, she couldn't think about the cooperation with the Mu Group at all. All she could think about was Huo Yanzhi and Ye Xinning. One wanted to break off the engagement with her, and the other was ruining her reputation.
"If you don't go to them, will they have a chance to scheme against you?"
Father Mu was angry and spoke sternly.
"Dad, what are you saying? It's all because Ye Xinning and Huo Yanzhi want to break off our engagement. I only spilled a cup of coffee on her, what's the big deal?"
Mr. Mu wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Mu stopped him, feeling sorry for her daughter. "Alright, can't you see how upset our daughter is? Speaking of which, this Miss Ye is quite cunning, treating our daughter like this."
"Ye Xinning is a lawyer. It's good enough that she only let the video circulate online and didn't sue her for intentional injury. Otherwise, what you'd see now wouldn't just be this news, but also a court summons."
"I'm going to find her."
Mu Yinjing was furious. Everything she had now was because of Ye Xinning, and she was determined to find Ye Xinning.
Mr. Mu scolded her, "Stop! Get out now! If the reporters block your way, do you know how to answer them? How are you going to explain that you threw coffee at her? Do you know that public opinion can kill a person? If you want to find a better man in the future, stay home and wait until this matter has calmed down."
Mu Yinjing didn't want to listen to her father, but Madam Mu comforted her, "Daughter, listen to me. I'll have your father talk to Huo Yanzhi."
Will he really change his mind?
Yes, it will.
Mr. Mu was also puzzled. "It's strange, really. If it was just because you spilled a cup of coffee on Ye Xinning, it shouldn't have been enough to make those partners cancel their cooperation with the Mu family. It's just a young person's love and hate."
Madam Mu was puzzled. "What do you mean? Is there some other hidden story?"
Mu's father had a vague suspicion that in Nancheng, the only person who could make a difference in the business world with just a few words was that person.
But is it really him?
For Ye Xinning? He's willing to become an enemy of the Mu Group just to get revenge?
“My people are still investigating, and there are no results yet,” Mu’s father said in a deep voice.
"But it's best if it isn't, otherwise it will be difficult."
Even if Mu Yinjing was stupid, she could still glean something from her parents' conversation.
"Mom and Dad, do you mean that Shen Lin is helping Ye Xinning?"
"I'm not sure yet. Isn't everyone saying that Shen Lin and Ye Xinning's relationship is bad? Forget it, you stay at home quietly for the next few days and don't do anything. I'll find out more about it later."
After giving instructions to everyone, Father Mu went upstairs to relax.
Mu Yinjing still wanted to go out, but her parents wouldn't let her, so she had no choice but to stay at home.
However, after this incident, she hated Ye Xinning even more.
...
Ye Xinning was getting off work in the evening and was just about to drive home when he received a call from Ye Rouxin.
She held her phone, answering absentmindedly.
"I just got off work, and you're calling me. What do you want to say?"
"Why didn't you tell me about Mu Yinjing coming to see you and throwing coffee on you?"
"If I told you, what would you do? Would you just give Mu Yinjing a few perfunctory scolding like last time?" Her words were meaningful, and Ye Rouxin knew exactly what she meant.
“Ningning, you have to understand your mother. I have no choice. The Ye Group has a partnership with the Mu Group, and I have to give face to Mu Yinjing’s father.”
"I know, you just want to say you have no choice in the matter, right? I know. Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I'm hanging up."
As she was about to hang up, Ye Rouxin on the other end of the line suddenly said, "Shen Lin cares about you, so don't throw a tantrum anymore."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinning paused in her act of hanging up the phone, wondering where Ye Rouxin had gotten the idea that Shen Lin cared about her.
"I bet even if Shen Lin brings his illegitimate child home, you'll still lie and say, for the sake of the Ye Group, that he treats me very well and cares about me a lot."
Ye Xinning finished speaking coolly and hung up the phone.
He didn't think too deeply about what Ye Rouxin meant by those words.
