Autor: Joe Mai Tradução automática
"Uncle Xi, where's my fiancee, Xi Muru?" Nangong Xun asked without batting an eyelid.
2Nangong Xun put down the teacup and looked indifferently at Xi Yuancheng, who looked more nervous than ever.
2"Mu Ru...she... she's already married to Dongfang Mo," Xi Yuancheng answered hesitantly.
2He then looked at Mu Xue, who was sitting not too far away. Suddenly, he thought of something.
2"The newspaper headlines said that Dongfang Mo married Xi Muxue, not Xi Muru," Nangong Xun answered coldly.
2In his anger, Nangong Xun threw the newspaper he held at Xi Yuancheng. It was the newspaper that announced Dongfang Mo's marriage to Mu Xue.
2"Uncle Xi, aren't you going to explain it to me?" he asked in an angrier tone.
2"This..." Xi Yuancheng was stammering.
2Xi Yuancheng wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand and forced a smile. He laughed awkwardly and tried to give an explanation.
2"Mu Xue was initially arranged to marry Dongfang Mo, but when she heard that Dongfang Mo...well...In short, Mu Xue didn't want to marry Dongfang Mo, so Mu Ru married him instead."
2"Uncle Xi, but Mu Ru is my fiancee," Nangong Xun said.
2Nangong Xun looked very angry, and he glared at Xi Yuancheng.
2"Uncle Xi, if you wanted to break off our engagement, shouldn't you have given me a heads-up? I came to Binhai specifically to discuss my marriage to Mu Ru. I wanted to set the wedding date."
2Xi Yuancheng was struggling for an explanation. "This...Didn't your family move away? I thought..."
2Xi Yuancheng knew that he was in the wrong, and his explanation had become a little incoherent. He looked at Mu Xue, who was staring at Nangong Xun. She seemed infatuated with him.
2Xi Yuancheng said, "How about this? My Mu Xue and Mu Ru are twins. They look almost identical, and Mu Xue is much prettier than Mu Ru. Mu Ru isn't actually pretty. You had no idea about the mark on her forehead—"
2Nangong Xun interrupted him. "I know that there's a birthmark on her forehead."
2In a cold tone, he said, "I don't know why you're making a big deal out of it."
2He continued, "I knew about her mark five years ago. If I hadn't known about it, I wouldn't have asked my parents to propose to the Xi family."
2"Ah?"
2It was Xi Yuancheng's turn to be shocked. He even wondered if his ears had misheard what Nangong Xun said.
2Five years ago, when the Qin family came to propose to the Xi family, Qin Weihe only told them that he wanted them to be their in-laws. Xi Yuancheng had mistakenly thought that the Qin family had taken a liking to Mu Xue. Mu Xue had already been promised to the eldest son of the Dongfang family two years prior to the visit of the Qin family. However, he didn't want to offend the Qin family because they were also a powerful and influential family. He didn't dare to offend anyone, so he deliberately told them that his daughter's name was Xi Muru. In reality, he was just trying to get away with it.
2At that time, the Qin family did not say anything. They just signed a marriage contract with him. Xi Yuancheng was secretly happy with the deals he had struck. He was surprised that he had actually given away his ominous daughter, Mu Ru, to the wealthy Qin family.
2Of course, when the Qin family realized that Mu Ru was the less fair daughter, they thought of breaking off the engagement and abandoning Mu Ru. However, they didn't. They did not really care, and at the same time, they did not have much to lose.
2Now that five years had passed, Qin Xun had come to ask for her. He had specifically mentioned that he wanted to marry Xi Muru. He even said that he knew about Mu Ru's birthmark. Only then did Xi Yuancheng realize that it was Mu Ru that he wanted to marry all along.
2Xi Yuancheng was dumbstruck by what he had just realized.
2"That...Mu Ru has already married Dongfang Mo," Xi Yuancheng answered hesitantly.
2Xi Yuancheng found it difficult to speak. He looked at Nangong Xun with pleading eyes.
2He said, "Look, Mu Xue is actually better than Mu Ru—"
