Feng Yaoyao frowned slightly after seeing the number.
Should I answer this call?
Shen Muyao was also undecided. Deep down, she didn't want to have any contact with her family, especially Shen Mu.
There's always a feeling that I could be sold off at any moment.
As the saying goes, when in doubt, consult Qin Bai.
She looked up at the man opposite her, her eyes full of questions.
Qin Bai pondered for a moment.
"Let's accept it; there's no way to avoid this matter."
"Um."
Shen Muyao pressed the answer button.
"Mu Yao, let's go home now. I have something to tell you."
"I......"
Beep beep beep~~~
Before Shen could speak, the phone call was disconnected.
Qin Bai's face was ashen, and his bad premonition grew stronger.
Sending her back at this point is most likely not a good thing.
Moreover, his tone was full of unquestionable authority, showing no affection between father and daughter whatsoever.
Not only him, but both women also had their brows furrowed.
Feng Yaoyao said with some concern, "How about I go back with Mu Yao? I'm a little worried about her going back by herself."
Qin Bai nodded: "That's good, at least we can look out for each other if anything happens."
Shen Muyao lowered her head slightly, pinched two fingers together, and asked in a low, aggrieved voice, "Can...can we not go back?"
After she finished speaking, her expression was full of helplessness, which was heartbreaking to see.
Feng Yaoyao shook her head and said, "If you don't go back, given Uncle Shen's personality, he will definitely come to the school to look for you, and that will be even more troublesome."
"Well, okay then." Shen Muyao's voice was even softer, and she seemed completely listless.
"Don't worry, I'll go back with you."
Qin Bai comforted him, "Don't worry too much no matter what happens after you get back. I'll take care of everything."
"Um."
Shen nodded vigorously.
"Alright, I'll see you downstairs. I'll come back in a bit to edit the video and send it out as soon as possible."
"Yeah, don't overwork yourself."
"knew."
The three of them went downstairs together. Shen Muyao got into the car, looking back every few steps, her expression full of reluctance.
Watching the car disappear at the end of the street, Qin Bai sighed and turned to go upstairs.
The plan needs to be accelerated.
Even though my mother's condition has stabilized, why does she feel even more tired than before?
One thing after another, I feel like I don't even have time to breathe.
Sigh, I wonder when I'll finally get through this.
......
The car stopped in front of the Shen family villa.
Feng Yaoyao pulled Shen Muyao inside.
Upon entering, one sees Shen Mu sitting on the sofa, with his secretary standing beside him.
"Yaoyao is here, come and sit down."
Shen Mu wasn't surprised at all to see Feng Yaoyao, and even greeted her warmly.
"Hello, Uncle Shen."
How sweet-talking is that little green tea b*tch! No matter how filthy she's cursing inside, she always keeps a smile on her face.
Shen Mu looked at his daughter sitting opposite him without any expression.
He said calmly, "You've had your fill of going crazy outside these past few days. Come home and stay; it's not safe outside."
Shen Muyao did not agree immediately as she usually would, but instead chose to remain silent with her head down.
Shen Mu frowned slightly: "Didn't you hear me?"
"I heard you."
"Good to hear you. Starting today..."
Shen Muyao suddenly looked up and said forcefully, "It's very safe outside, and I'm very happy too."
She had never spoken to her father like this before. Her face remained cold, but her trembling fingers betrayed how uneasy she was inside.
"What...did you say?" Shen Mu's face was full of disbelief.
His eyes were fixed on his daughter, as if he didn't recognize her.
Since the engagement banquet, Shen Mu has understood that this pawn has developed its own ideas and may very well escape his control.
I just didn't expect this day to come so soon.
It seems that finding her a suitable match was the right thing to do.
Feng Yaoyao gripped Shen Muyao's hand tightly and winked at her with a quiet smile.
With her affirmation, Shen Guaiguai's momentum increased.
"Dad, what's the matter that you wanted me to come back this time?"
After recovering from his shock, Shen Mu rubbed his temples a few times before regaining his composure.
"After your engagement party with Qin Bai was ruined, many families came to propose marriage. I chose one that's not bad. Let's get married on a suitable day after the New Year."
His tone was devoid of any intention to negotiate; it didn't sound like a daughter getting married at all, but rather like he was trading some worthless commodity.
Upon hearing this, Shen Muyao's eyes widened instantly, her pupils becoming unfocused.
Being mentally prepared and hearing the news are two completely different things.
She was still shocked by how cold and ruthless her father could be. Did he really not consider her feelings at all?
The secretary placed a stack of documents in front of her.
"Miss, please take a look. This is Mr. Huang's information."
Feng Yaoyao glanced at the photo and instantly lost her composure.
"Could this be the eldest son of the Huang family?"
“That’s right.” Shen Mu nodded calmly.
Feng Yaoyao suddenly stood up: "Uncle Chen, you're not joking, are you? Don't you know about that fat guy Huang?"
Shen Mu picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip: "What's going on? The Huang family is quite powerful, and it's a good match. Mu Yao can marry into the family and give birth to a son or daughter. Then she can just wait to enjoy her life."
Feng Yaoyao said anxiously, "That man has intellectual disabilities. Wouldn't letting Mu Yao marry him be like pushing her into a fire pit?"
"Hehe, these are just rumors. I've met him once, and he seems perfectly normal."
Shen Mu leaned forward slightly: "Even if those rumors are true, it doesn't matter. He's just an idiot; he's easier to manipulate."
Shen Muyao flipped through the documents in her hand, her delicate face turning a sickly pale.
Everything was as Feng Yaoyao said. Huang Pangzi was not only an idiot, but also had a serious tendency to violence. Over the years, countless girls had been abused by him.
If I were to actually marry into that family, it would be worse than death.
Her lips trembled as she said, "Is there any room for discussion about this?"
Shen Mu sneered, "Hmph! You've actually learned to bargain now. You've really grown wings. Don't you listen to me at all anymore?"
Shen Muyao slowly clenched her fist.
Looking at her father across from her, she suddenly felt very unfamiliar with him.
Family ties?
Fatherly love?
What a joke.
It seems that such a thing no longer exists in my life.
It's time to fight for something for myself.
