Fu Jingchen's extremely natural demeanor seemed to make everything clearer.
As Mu Qinghai ordered his servants to bring out the finest tea, he couldn't contain his excitement and leaned forward several times.
"Is Fourth Master's visit to propose marriage for my daughter, Mu Yunshu?"
"yes."
As soon as the man finished speaking, Mu Yunqing and Madam Mu, who were still standing to the side, turned their faces away, their expressions full of displeasure.
"That's wonderful!" Mu Qinghai was so excited he couldn't stop smiling.
But when he met Fu Jingchen's cold face, the smile on his lips vanished instantly, and he said calmly, "It's fine, it's fine, it's about this..."
Turning his head, Mu Qinghai suddenly looked at Rong Shang, who had been silent until now, and asked, "Yun Shu, what do you think?"
You should know that Mu Qinghai usually never gave his daughter a second glance, always mocking and ridiculing her, let alone actively asking for her opinion like he did now.
To be honest, he had already seen that Mu Yunshu and Fu Jingchen were in love, and he was just pretending to be a good person in front of Fu Jingchen.
Rong Shang, however, didn't buy into his act. She remained silent, not even lifting her eyelids.
Mu Qinghai spoke several times but she didn't answer, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Finally, Fu Jingchen, who was standing to the side, took the initiative to bring it up, but Mu Qinghai did not expect her to say, "Father, didn't you just tell me to shut up and never say another word?"
It's fair to say that Rong Shang came here today specifically to cause trouble for the Mu family.
Not to mention that Madam Mu and her two children were dissatisfied with Rong Shang, even Mu Qinghai was extremely unhappy that she had undermined him like this.
But things are different now. If this brat marries Fu Jingchen, she'll be the young mistress of the Fu family.
Given her status, they would be too good to be true to her, let alone want to oppose her.
Faced with the choice between face and money/status, Mu Qinghai resolutely chose the latter.
Therefore, his attitude towards Rong Shang made a complete 180-degree turn.
"How could that be? I just saw you looked a bit tired and wanted to joke around with you to help you relax. Please don't take it to heart."
Tsk.
Rong Chang slightly raised the corners of her lips, her eyes full of mockery.
I've never heard such a ridiculous lie before.
She still didn't want to talk.
Mu Qinghai, however, would often show concern for her, and even played the emotional card, constantly bringing up his past relationship with Mu Yunshu's mother.
That sycophantic manner really infuriated Madam Mu.
But as they say, fortunes change and luck is fickle.
Before the matter between Rong Shang and Fu Jingchen could be resolved, Liang Zhengzong had already come to propose marriage with gifts.
At first, Madam Mu and Mu Yunqing thought he had come to propose marriage to Rong Shang, and they even looked on with schadenfreude, waiting to see a good show.
But after taking a few steps forward, he told Mu Qinghai that he wanted to marry Mu Yunqing.
This sudden change caught Mrs. Mu and her daughter completely off guard.
Mu Yunqing panicked immediately, "Father, no, I don't want to marry him."
What makes this guy worthy of her?
Mu Yunqing was disgusted.
She doesn't want to.
"This..." Mu Qinghai hesitated.
What's wrong with Liang Zhengzong? He just got the betrothal gifts back last time, and now...
Madam Mu was also somewhat embarrassed. "Young Master Liang, my Yunqing is still young. I think we should wait a few more years."
"Young?" Liang Zhengzong chuckled crudely. "You're nineteen already, and you still call that young?"
"If we wait any longer, we'll be old maids."
"..."
