Bab 6: Chapter 6: The unlucky daughter
Penulis: Joe Mai Mesin Penerjemah
"Dad, what are you talking about? An engagement isn't a marriage yet, so why can't I break off the engagement if I want to?"
2Xi Muxue was obviously unwilling to compromise.
"Break off the engagement? Dongfang Group owns 35% of our company's shares, which is even more than our shares. How can you break off the engagement?" her father said sternly.
2Xi Yuancheng glared fiercely at his daughter.
2"Are you stupid? Dongfang Group is the leading company in Binhai City, and Dongfang Mo practically has the sky under his control. Now that he wants to marry you, how can we dare to say no? We can only do so if we are leaving Binhai City, or if we don't want to continue living here."
2Xi Muxue was slightly stunned with what her father said. Her arrogance was obviously reduced, but she still managed to shriek loudly, "Father, I don't care!"
2She continued, "Father, I really don't care. I know the company is important. I don't object to putting our company's interests first. However, I cannot compromise my lifelong happiness just like that. It's fine if Dongfang Mo doesn't look the same on the outside. But even though he underwent plastic surgery, he's already a eunuch. How do you want me to marry him?"
2Xi Muxue then glared angrily at Xi Yuancheng.
2She added, "I'm just trying to protect myself. If you're selfish, I'm selfish too. You're thinking about the company and your interests. I'm considering my lifelong happiness, so I definitely won't marry Dongfang Mo. You can say whatever you want."
2"You're really not going to do it?" her father asked coldly.
2Xi Yuancheng's face turned green with anger when he heard his youngest daughter's words. He could not help but raise his voice.
2"If you won't fulfill the agreement, who will? Six years ago, you were engaged to Dongfang Mo. Now that he wants to marry you, how can you not go? Do you really want our family to go bankrupt? If the Xi family goes bankrupt, will you be happy for the rest of your life?" her father asked back.
2Xi Muxue could not answer her father. He was right. If the Xi family really went bankrupt, her life would probably be miserable.
2Just as she was thinking about what to do, she turned around and saw her sister, Mu Ru, who had just walked in. A strange smile suddenly appeared on her initially angry face.
Mu Ru was shocked. She immediately realized that her sister had a malicious plan involving her, so she instinctively took two steps back. She wanted to turn around and run to the door, but she was one step too slow. Xi Muxue had already reached out to grab her arm.
2"Father, Mu Ru is your daughter too, isn't she? Furthermore, she looks exactly like me. Why don't you just let her marry that useless man instead of me? This way, the Xi family won't have to break off the engagement and won't go bankrupt. It's like killing two birds with one stone. How good would that be?" Mu Xue suggested.
2Xi Muxue rolled her eyes. She was proud that she was able to come up with a plan off the top of her head.
2"Mu Xue, how can this be?"
2Mu Ru could not help but let out a low groan.
2Xi Yuancheng's gaze was fixed on the slightly pale and thin elder daughter in front of him. He was surprised to find that his other daughter had already grown into a slim and graceful woman.
2Mu Ru was born with a dark red birthmark the size of a thumb on her forehead. Xi Yuancheng was a superstitious person. He had asked someone to interpret the birthmark, and he was told that it was an unlucky symbol. He was told that it would bring him bad luck and that she would not live past eighteen years old. He was even told to get rid of his own child.
2However, at that time, his wife Du Xinyue could not bear to throw away the poor child. No matter what bad luck it may bring, the child was their daughter. Du Xinyue asked their maid at home, Mother Wang, to take care of the child. Five years later, he was surprised to find that Mother Wang's "niece" looked exactly the same as Mu Xue. Only then did he realize that it was his daughter, whom he thought was no longer alive.
2For so many years, Mu Ru, the unlucky and ugly daughter, had been following the maid around. She had actually grown up like a blade of grass. Over the past ten years, nothing unlucky had happened to the family. Everything had been smooth-sailing, and their business flourished.
2Xi Yuancheng fell into deep thought. He owed his elder daughter a lot. Deep in his heart, he felt guilty for what happened to her.
