The Zhao family's reputation in Lancheng has plummeted since Qiu Mei caused such a commotion last time.
Although everyone is still wary of the Zhao family due to Zhao Qishan's status, the level of respect they have for them is somewhat lower than before.
Those mistresses of high status and position were respectful and warm to Shen Xiumei on the surface, but in private they couldn't help but despise her for her inadequate education of her children.
Although the Mu family was not of high status, it was a family of scholars. The innocent girl was engaged to the Zhao family. When they were about to reach the age of marriage, Zhao Jinyu actually broke off the engagement because of an unknown woman.
What's more, that woman was such a rude and ignorant crazy woman.
It is a bit unbelievable that the Zhao family would condone such a thing to happen.
Therefore, everyone privately speculated whether the Zhao family was not as good as the rumors outside had said, with excellent family traditions and strict rules. Otherwise, how could this only child become so crooked.
Although the Mu family did not have much interaction with the so-called upper class circle, it was also because the mistress of the Mu family, Ye Qian, had a job. She was busy with work, so it was understandable that she could not get along with everyone.
Although those wives were usually very arrogant, they actually envied Ye Qian for being able to have her own career and not having to rely on men. Therefore, even if they were not very familiar with her, they all respected her very much.
After all, it is somewhat a honor for women to be university professors.
The Mu family is clean and honest. Ye Qian's husband, Mu Mingda, is also a university professor, and their daughter, Mu Ruanruan, was also a well-behaved student in school.
Last time, Mu Ruanruan's kick was talked about for a long time. It was so cool. To deal with mistresses and shameless women, you have to be quick and decisive like this.
Word of this spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the news of Mu Ruanruan's fight with the mistress spread, and at the same time, Zhao Jinyu's reputation as a scumbag also became famous.
Qiu Mei was sent away that same day, and Zhao Jinyu became single again.
I don't know who spread the news that the Zhao family wanted to re-marry the Mu family, and made it sound so incredible. Originally, the Zhao family broke off the engagement with the Mu family, but after word got around, it became that the Mu family knew about the Zhao family's misconduct and took the initiative to break off the engagement with the Zhao family.
For families that value reputation, marriage represents the greatest reputation. Now that the Zhao family has fallen into decline, not only are the girls from decent families unwilling to have anything to do with him, even the smaller families that are far less prominent than him have to frown upon him.
If he cannot convince the Mu family to continue this marriage, then Zhao Jinyu's future marriage will probably not be smooth.
The Zhao family did not hesitate to use threats, not only because they were truly satisfied with Mu Ruanruan, but also because they knew this.
It was that kick that made Zhao Qishan even more satisfied. He finally saw a hint of bloodiness in Mu Ruanruan.
This bloodiness is what Zhao Qishan values most. He will not allow others to touch his things. After this incident, he officially incorporated Mu Ruanruan into the Zhao family.
Unfortunately, no matter how he explained to Mu Mingda, the latter refused to give in.
In the morning, when Mu Ruanruan was in the car, she received a call from Zhao Jinyu, who repeated the same old tune and asked her to forgive him.
Mu Ruanruan hung up without saying anything.
On this side, Mu Mingda also hung up the phone with Zhao Qishan.
Zhao Qishan lost his temper at Zhao Jinyu, "You are the one who caused this incident. If you can't resolve it properly, you are no longer a member of my Zhao family."
Old Lady Zhao protected her grandson: "The Mu family has such a big reputation. We have humbled ourselves so much, what else does he want?"
This is what Zhao Qishan was thinking. Now that things have come to this, it is not just about the marriage between Mu Ruanruan and Zhao Jinyu, but it is about the reputation of the Zhao family.
Each family member returned to their rooms with their own thoughts.
A taxi drove into the Zhao family's old house, the door opened, and Mu Ruanruan got out carrying a fluffy bag.
She was already good-looking, and now after being raised under Ye Qian's supervision for a period of time, her skin became even fairer and more beautiful.
The taxi driver kept staring at her in the rearview mirror while driving, marveling at how stunning the girl was. Her facial features were just right, especially her eyes, which were twinkling, lively and attractive. Her slight frown made people want to give all the good things in the world to her.
Mu Ruanruan paid the fare, and the driver watched her enter the Zhao family's gate before driving away.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, the housekeeper informed Zhao Qishan that Mu Ruanruan had arrived.
Zhao Qishan asked twice, and the housekeeper said that Mu Ruanruan was indeed the only one there.
When discussing this matter in the morning, everyone was a little angry and very dissatisfied with the Mu family's behavior. They called Mu Mingda but hit a snag again.
Mu Ruanruan came alone at this time, and everyone thought she came to apologize. After all, when her engagement was broken off, she was very unwilling and cried for a long time. How could feelings change so easily?
Except for Old Madam Zhao, everyone's expressions relaxed a lot.
The housekeeper respectfully led Mu Ruanruan in. Everyone was waiting for her in the living room. Except for Old Madam Zhao, everyone else had a smile on their face, especially Zhao Jinyu, whose eyes lit up when he saw her.
"Ruan Ruan, you finally came."
Zhao Jinyu took two steps towards Mu Ruanruan, but was interrupted by a cough from Old Madam Zhao.
Now that Mu Ruanruan has come to him on her own initiative, Zhao Jinyu must be careful about his identity and must not let himself be taken advantage of.
Mu Ruanruan saw what Old Madam Zhao did, but her expression remained calm.
"Please sit down." Zhao Qishan said majestically.
Mu Ruanruan sat opposite Old Madam Zhao, on the right side of Zhao Qishan.
"We've made enough noise. Since we're all family, let's just let it go. You two should live a good life from now on, and arrange your wedding as soon as possible."
