Chapter 389 Transaction
Chen Guangzhi stood outside the door and witnessed all this.
Of course he knew that Mu Chengyan would never be interested in someone as plain as Chen Meihua.
He curled his lips in distaste and walked in when Chen Meihua made further embarrassing moves.
He greeted politely, "Hello, Prince Regent, how come you have time to visit my humble abode today?"
But he didn't look very enthusiastic.
He is old and still knows the basic ways of the world. A man like Mu Chengyan has all kinds of beauties around him, and even if Chen Meihua tries hard, she can't reach him.
What's more, the young emperor is in poor health now. In the future, the world will have a new master, and the Chen family will decline. There will be no benefit in hooking up with Mu Chengyan.
"Are you here for something today?" Chen Guangzhi asked as he sat down, and at the same time gave his disappointing daughter a look, asking her to leave.
Chen Meihua tilted her head to glance at Mu Chengyan greedily, then reluctantly retreated.
Mu Chengyan then said, "Let me make a deal with you."
Chen Guangzhi picked up the teacup on the table and asked, "You and me? What's the deal?"
He usually has little interaction with Mu Chengyan.
When Queen Chen passed away, she specifically instructed that if the Chen family wanted to continue to prosper, they must remember to listen to Yun Zhao at all times and remember not to get involved with others.
He has remembered this sentence all these years.
She has always listened to Yun Zhao the most. For the sake of Empress Chen and the Emperor, Yun Zhao has indeed always taken good care of the Chen family.
With Yun Zhao's care, the Chen family naturally doesn't need to rely on others.
He had previously looked down upon this honorable regent.
Now that Mu Chengyan had suddenly come here without warning, he was indeed surprised. He didn't like beating around the bush and went straight to the point, "The Regent has something to say, just say it."
Mu Chengyan curled his lips and said, "I just came from the imperial physician. Doctor Li said that the emperor has been feeling better recently, but his maximum recovery time is only a year."
Chen Guangzhi knew this clearly. He slowly drank his tea and asked, "So?"
Mu Chengyan said: "So, if the Chen family wants to bless you with wealth and prosperity in the future, I think we can make a deal."
Chen Guangzhi frowned slightly, realizing that Mu Chengyan had something else in mind, but he didn't know what Mu Chengyan was thinking.
He was a little hesitant to say it.
Mu Chengyan flicked the nonexistent dust off his clothes and said calmly, "Let the young emperor leave a will and let me take the throne. I can promise to ensure that your Chen family will last for thousands of years."
Chen Guangzhi's eyes gradually widened, and finally turned into a look of fear.
“You…what did you say?!”
"This is the Chen family's world. Your last name is Mu, and this world has nothing to do with you! Mu Chengyan, you are too whimsical, aren't you?!"
At this moment, Chen Guangzhi looked at Mu Chengyan as if he was looking at a madman.
"What you said is outrageous. I'm going to pretend I haven't seen you today. Get out of here!"
Mu Chengyan knew the Chen family couldn't accept this for the time being. He slowly stood up and said, "Master Chen, you know my method is the best way to protect the Chen family's future. If you cooperate with me, you will have endless prosperity and wealth in the future. Think about it carefully. I await your good news."
After Mu Chengyan finished speaking, he left neatly.
Chen Guangzhi watched the man walk away, then snorted coldly and shook his sleeves heavily.
"Dad!" Chen Meihua came out from behind, her eyes longing. After the figure had completely disappeared, she smiled and said to Chen Guangzhi, "Why don't you agree to Mu Chengyan's request just now? It doesn't matter who sits on the throne. As long as they can bless my Chen family with prosperity, that would be great."
Chen Guangzhi sneered, "You're a secluded person, so you don't understand. Do you think Mu Chengyan is just a good-looking man? He's ruthless and doesn't have a sense of contract. If you help him today, he'll be willing to destroy you later. He's not a good person."
Mu Chengyan is different from Yun Zhao and Xie Jingmo.
The latter is a gentleman.
former--
He is an ambitious wolf.
He could trust Yun Zhao and Xie Jingmo, but he couldn't trust Mu Chengyan.
"But Dad," Chen Meihua was unwilling, "Isn't Empress Dowager Yun seriously ill? The world is changing overnight, you must make careful plans. Isn't Mu Chengyan good? He is the regent. If he really wants to protect us in the future, it will be a relief for our family."
Chen Guangzhi glanced at Chen Meihua, "Don't talk to me about this. Don't I know what you're thinking? Aren't you attracted to Mu Chengyan? But my girl, I'm telling you, this is not someone you can touch, understand? Your thoughts and ideas are not enough in front of Mu Chengyan. You just listen to your father and marry into a family below ours. Then your father will protect you for the rest of your life. This is the best future for a woman, do you understand?"
Chen Meihua pouted, "I don't understand! I don't care, I just want Mu Chengyan. When I fell in love with Xie Jingmo before, you said I wasn't worthy of him, saying that he was a descendant of the emperor. But Mu Chengyan isn't a descendant of the emperor, right? What's the matter, I can't be with him either?"
Chen Guangzhi sighed, "You can't outsmart others, and if you do, they'll be killed. Stop it and go out and have fun by yourselves."
After saying this, Chen Guangzhi returned to the ancestral hall.
Chen Meihua pouted and was silent for a moment before she called out loudly, "Xiao Cui!"
"Tell your guard, who is your friend, to find out where Mu Chengyan will appear."
Xiao Cui looked embarrassed, "But Miss, the master just said -"
"You are my maid. Besides, you don't want me to marry into a good family. I know that you and the guard you are in love with don't have a dowry. Please help me get this done. I will arrange everything in the future and personally send you off."
Xiao Cui frowned.
Chen Meihua cried out, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."
Xiao Cui sighed and walked out.
When Chen Guangzhi entered the palace, he glanced outside the carriage and asked the servant outside, "Why do I think I saw Meihua?"
The servant shrank his neck, "Really? Master, I didn't see it."
Chen Guangzhi looked outside again and indeed did not see Chen Meihua. He was in a bad mood and had no time to deal with this. He waved his hand and asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the palace quickly.
Mu Chengyan naturally noticed that someone was following him.
After seeing Chen Meihua's figure, he smiled sarcastically with disdain.
Stupid woman!
Are you even worthy of thinking about him?!
He deliberately entered a teahouse and just as he sat down, someone sat down opposite him.
Mu Chengyan knew that it was Chen Meihua who sat down without even looking up.
"Ms. Chen, you have followed me for such a long way, and now you are sitting opposite me in the street. Aren't you afraid of being criticized?" Mu Chengyan poured himself a cup of tea.
As Chen Meihua watched Mu Chengyan's gentle movements, she felt even more greedy.
The Regent is indeed the Regent, and he is not comparable to those guys outside.
Chen Meihua's eyes swept over Mu Chengyan's body one by one.
