Kapitel 35: Chapter 35: Being despised

Autor: Joe Mai Machinenübersetzung

"My father made me marry Dongfang Mo on behalf of my sister. It was wrong," Mu Ru said.

Mu Ru knew she had to defend herself.

"However, the next day, my father came over with my sister. He initially wanted to replace me with Mu Xue again, but..."

Xi Muru realized how strange the whole thing sounded. Then, she clenched her fists and finally came up with a lie.

"But Dongfang Mo chose to let me stay, so this marriage is no longer a lie," she said.

Even though Xi Yuancheng had never treated her well and had never really been a father to her, he was still her father after all.

Furthermore, the Xi family was in trouble. Her mother, Du Xinyue, and even Mother Wang, who was considered a part of the Xi family, would also be in trouble. Mu Ru wanted to save them from that.

"Oh, so something like this actually happened?" Dongfang Yingwu said as he looked at her with furrowed brows.

He looked at Dongfang Mei, who was sitting next to him, as if asking her about the validity of Mu Ru's statements.

That day when Xi Yuancheng and Xi Muxue arrived at the house, Dongfang Mei went downstairs late, and she had not witnessed what happened. However, she had heard from Mother Liu that the person who stayed in the end was indeed Xi Muru.

Hence, she turned to the man and nodded.

She said, "Second Brother, what Mu Ru said is true. It has already been settled. Ah Mo probably realized that he's rather have a woman who is willing to stay with him. After all, it wouldn't be nice to impose oneself on someone who is unwilling."

When Dongfang Yingwu heard Dongfang Mei's explanation, he did not say anything more. He just held his teacup and continued to drink tea, ignoring Mu Ru.

Dongfang Mo only arrived an hour later. He was accompanied by Uncle Liu, not by Dongfang Yu. Dongfang Yingwu noticed how unhappy Uncle Liu looked while pushing Dongfang Mo's wheelchair. He asked, "Where's Yu'er?"

Uncle Liu answered, "He asked me to come and fetch the master, but he was no longer there when I arrived."

"Ah Yu went to deliver a gift to Mayor Kuang," Dongfang Mo answered.

Dongfang Mo spoke gently and respectfully. Uncle Liu pushed the wheelchair to the edge of the dining table.

Dongfang Mo turned to Dongfang Yingwu and said, "Second Uncle knows that although the Dongfang Group is a big enterprise in Binhai, it has to continue to grow. If we don't want to be defeated by our competitors, we have to establish ties in the political world. Mayor Kuang's daughter, Kuang Yingying, returned from the United States yesterday. I think if one of the men from the Dongfang family can marry into the Kuang family, it will be a good marriage of politics and commerce. It will be beneficial to us, and we won't incur any losses from the marriage."

"Yes, it is indeed a good idea," the man agreed.

Dongfang Yingwu nodded as he answered. However, he suddenly frowned.

He said, "However, I don't think there is much hope for Ah Yu. He doesn't study much, and I heard that he has fallen into bad habits recently. Would Mayor Kuang like such a person as his son-in-law? I'm afraid that he won't be able to accomplish anything."

"I've also considered that and thought of how to solve it," Dongfang Mo answered.

Dongfang Mo tried to convince his uncle.

"Don't worry. Although Second Brother doesn't seem to have any other abilities, his ability to coax girls is top notch. Kuang Yingying should be a piece of cake for him. Mayor Kuang has only one daughter. He wouldn't hinder his daughter from marrying, right? After Ah Yu and Kuang Yingying are married, we will be working together with the government and tie up our business with the Kuang family. There will be no need for Second Brother to be involved anymore. I will still oversee everything."
