Chapter 221: Chapter 221 Love’s Bet_1

Mu Yingchen offered a faint smile, "Mom, I don’t blame you for what happened to her..."

His mother felt a bit powerless, a bit ashamed, and lowered her head.

Yes, he did not blame her, but he expressed his discontent through various actions.

Such as not coming home, not getting married, and no longer willing to eat a meal with them in harmony like before—

Every day he had an indifferent expression for everyone, even distancing himself from his own mother. How could she not feel heartbroken, how could she not resent Su Wanxia? All of this was because of her, how could she accept her!

"Lanzhi, stop being stubborn, just give him the contract--as long as he agrees to marry Yudie, anything goes..." Mu’s patriarch chimed in from the side. After all, that contract lying there was of no use now; the Su Family’s daughter had been gone for so long, she probably wouldn’t come back, and even if she did, it wouldn’t be possible for them to be together anymore.

Once Yingchen was married, it would be even less possible for the two of them—

Bai Yudie, upon hearing Mu’s patriarch’s words, saw a flash of light in her eyes. The old man was right, as long as he was willing to marry her, what was one contract worth? Once married, she would be his wife in the full light of day—would she still fear that worthless piece of paper?

Mu’s mother gave a powerless smile, "Fine, since you really want to know, I’ll give you the contract, but you’ll have to wait until the day you’re married—"

"Okay--" Mu Yingchen surprisingly agreed with alacrity.

The word "okay" brought smiles to the faces of the other three people.

The most excited was none other than the person involved, Bai Yudie. She seemed to hardly believe her own ears, and for a moment thought she might be hallucinating. But when she saw the joyful smiles on the faces of Mu’s mother and the patriarch, she was so thrilled she wanted to shout out loud.

It was a wonderful feeling as if a sudden spring breeze had come and a thousand trees, ten thousand pear trees burst into bloom.

After so many years of anticipation, the day when he finally agreed to marry her had arrived.

Although he did not love her, although he had his conditions, agreeing to marry her was the most crucial step.

Once married, she would have all the time in the world to thaw his heart of ten thousand years of ice.

Her eyes brimming with emotion as she looked at the godlike man sitting diagonally across from her. His exquisitely handsome features had deeply imprinted themselves in her heart, and just the thought that this man would soon become her husband made her want to announce to the whole world the news of their marriage. She wanted all women to envy her, all men to admire her, she wanted the whole world to know that she, Bai Yudie, was about to become the much-coveted wife of the youngest master of the Mu Family!

However, Mu Yingchen remained unmoved by her affectionate gaze. He rose calmly from his seat, "You all continue to eat, there are some important matters to handle at the company--"

"Yingchen, it’s getting late, just rest at home today--" the Mu patriarch hastily interjected.

"No, Feng and the others are still working overtime at the company," Mu Yingchen said as he turned and walked towards the door.

The servant immediately brought over his coat. He took it, slowly dressed himself neatly, and without a backward glance, he strode out the door.

Watching his tall and upright figure leave, Bai Yudie felt her heart brimming with sweetness and happiness.

The next morning at ten o’clock, a significant piece of news spread like a tornado to every corner of the world!

The heir of Asia’s leading enterprise, the Mu Family’s young master, was getting married!

All the major television stations, both domestic and international, were broadcasting it in unison...

The news was announced by the reclusive top figure of the Mu Family, Mu Zetian.

Therefore, it was absolutely reliable, absolutely true!

The wedding date was set for a month later—

This news suddenly shocked the entire world—

It was rumored that the young master of the Mu Group was mysteriously cold and indifferent to women, always unwilling to reveal the slightest bit of personal information to the public.

Why then had he suddenly announced his own marriage? And why was the bride-to-be not the daughter of the Su Family, whom he had previously mentioned, but rather the daughter of the Bai Family—an old and influential family that had a very good relationship with the Mu Group—Bai Yudie!

So, ever since the announcement was made, the media swarmed the building of the Mu Group, noisy and bustling as they waited for Mu Yingchen to appear.

Inside the Mu Group’s top-floor CEO office—

Confusion was evident on Mu Feng’s face as he hesitated before asking the man standing in front of the viewing platform with a desolate figure.

"Brother, are you sure you want to marry Bai Yudie?"

Others might not know what had transpired between him and Wanxia, but he knew. He was aware of how deeply he loved Wanxia and that he didn’t like Bai Yudie at all. So why was he suddenly marrying Bai Yudie? And without a word of dissent against Old Master Mu, he had called his first press conference to announce it to the world, causing a global frenzy.

What made him most helpless was that the wedding date was set for just one month later!

What on earth were they playing at?

Mu Yingchen remained silent for a while before suddenly turning to look at him, a dark gleam flashing in his eyes.

His voice held traces of disdain, "Do you think I would marry her?"

Mu Feng, perplexed by his question, instinctively shook his head.

He had always thought he would not marry Bai Yudie, but now the whole world knew that he was going to marry her in a month’s time; he couldn’t help but doubt it...

A cold smirk tugged at the corners of Mu Yingchen’s mouth: "It’s time to teach that woman a lesson—"

Hearing this, Mu Feng’s eyes widened in astonishment before he opened his mouth in comprehension and nodded.

"Brother, are you saying that this time you’re going to teach her a harsh lesson for Wanxia?" Mu Feng was surprised, recalling that two years ago, they had accidentally uncovered the truth behind Wanxia’s kidnapping, which turned out to be orchestrated by the white lotus, Bai Yudie.

A cruel smile crossed Mu Yingchen’s profound eyes, "Doesn’t she want to be Mrs. Mu? Let her have a beautiful dream then..."

He was going to let her fully experience the feeling of having everything she ever dreamt of right before her eyes, only to lose it all in an instant.

"But do you really need to use marriage as a joke?" Mu Feng was puzzled. Was Bai Yudie really worth all this trouble?

With a somewhat frustrated smile, Mu Yingchen replied resignedly, "Tell me, what do you think her expression will be like when she hears this news? Do you think she might show up and confront me?"

Mu Feng’s eyes suddenly enlarged, realizing that this was his brother’s intention—everything was a trap set for Wanxia.

Indeed, after searching for so long without a single trace of her, they were certain she was with her grandfather. The Qinglong Association had always been mysterious and powerful; if they didn’t want to be found, they would remain undetectable, just like the current situation, without leaving any trace.

If Wanxia truly loved his brother, would the news force her to show herself?

Touching his chin, Mu Feng nodded in agreement, "I’m also very curious to see whether she will appear or not..."
