Ou Jin was stunned for a moment.
Although Shen Mu’s skills were a mystery, he was still the person that Huo Yunxiao had his eye on.
He couldn’t just let him be taken advantage of here, could he?
Before he could come up with a plan, cheers erupted from the dance floor.
His female companion sourly remarked, “Lu Xize and Shen Qingxue really have a good relationship. They even kiss in public.”
Over there, they were pushing Shen Qingxue and Lu Xize towards a certain spot, while shouting, “Proposal! Proposal! Proposal!”
Shen Qingxue leaned shyly against Lu Xize and said, “Don’t listen to them, don’t make a fuss…”
Lu Xize couldn’t get enough of Shen Qingxue’s shy appearance, so he kissed her on the face before shouting, “Alright, alright! We still have important news to announce!”
At the banquet hall, Xu Ruyun stepped onto the stage, cleared his throat, and said, “Today is Qingxue’s birthday banquet, and on this occasion, we have some good news to share with everyone! Our two families have decided that Qingxue and the only son of the Lu family, Lu Xize, will be engaged! Once the date is set, we will send out invitations to everyone!”
The audience erupted in applause, and Shen Qingxue stood shyly next to Lu Xize, her eyes flickering with pride as she looked at Shen Mu, who was ignored in the corner.
No matter what tricks Shen Mu used, in the end, he would still have to watch them get married.
Shen Qingxue signaled to her female friends in the crowd, and someone immediately spoke up, “I heard that Miss Shen from the Shen family is actually the one who was engaged to Young Master Lu!”
Shen Qingxue’s face immediately changed when she heard this.
She cast a helpless glance at Lu Xize, then turned to Shen Mu and weakly called out, “Sister…”
Shen Qingxue thought to herself that when they publicly announced their engagement, Shen Mu, the fool, would definitely pester Lu Xize relentlessly.
At that time, she would let everyone know about Shen Mu’s dirty deeds!
She wanted to make Shen Mu lose face and be kicked out of the house!
“Yes, yes, I’ve heard about it too. Weren’t they childhood sweethearts?”
“Wasn’t it decided by Shen Mu’s deceased mother? Why is it Shen Qingxue now?”
“Shen Qingxue is the little princess! She’s also beautiful. Marrying her is definitely better than Shen Mu!”
“That’s right. Besides, Shen Mu’s scarred face is just too scary to look at.”
Ou Jin looked at Shen Mu, who was sitting outside the crowd.
Countless eyes fell on him like swords.
In the end, he couldn’t bear it and took out his phone to send a message to Huo Yunxiao: “The Shen family and the Lu family are forcing Shen Mu to agree to break off the engagement in public.” Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
“Sister…” Shen Qingxue looked helpless and afraid.
Shen Mu remained calm, leaning against the sofa and looking at Shen Qingxue.
He lightly asked, “You still remember that I’m your sister?”
Shen Qingxue, looking somewhat scared, shrank into Lu Xize’s arms and said, “Sister, I and Xize…”
“When did I ever agree to you and Xize being together?” Shen Mu bit down on the word “together” and said, “If I remember correctly, Lu Xize and I have had an engagement for a long time. We haven’t broken it off yet, and now you want to be engaged to him? What era is this? Are you preparing to share a husband with me, or are you planning to snatch him away directly?”
“Shen Mu!
Shut up!” Lu Xize scolded, “The person I love is Xue’er, not you!
I will never marry you!
Stop making a scene!”
The onlookers were discussing in a flurry.
They had only heard that Miss Shen from the Shen family had no presence, but today she publicly slapped her stepmother, Xu Ruyun, and even offended the Lu family.
What was going on?
Were the two sisters fighting over a man?
Shen Lishan had already arrived and, seeing the situation, looked embarrassed.
He said, “Shen Mu, don’t embarrass yourself! Come home with me!”
Shen Mu sneered in her heart.
This was the father that the silly girl had tried so hard to please!Clearly, she was the one who had been robbed of her man, and clearly, she had been wronged.
However, the elders of the Shen family hoped that she would swallow her anger…
Shen Qingxue’s best friend stood by and chimed in, “Everyone in the circle knows that Qingxue and Young Master Lu are together. You can’t force someone to be with you just because you like them. Besides, have you looked in the mirror? Are you even worthy of Young Master Lu?”
Shen Mu finally put down the lemonade in her hand and walked up to her, asking, “Who are you?”
“I’m Zhao Rong’er! Qingxue’s best friend!” Zhao Rong’er said disdainfully.
Shen Mu nodded and asked, “Do you like Lu Xize?”
“Nonsense!” Zhao Rong’er shouted, “He’s Qingxue’s boyfriend! How could I covet my best friend’s boyfriend? Don’t slander me!”
Shen Mu smiled faintly and asked, “Then why are you more anxious than Shen Qingxue? I thought I was the one who stole your man!”
“You…”
“It’s none of your business, so shut up!” Shen Mu’s eyes turned cold as she reprimanded, “Miss Zhao, the engagement is a family matter, even if it’s brought up in public, it’s still a family matter. Outsiders shouldn’t interfere!”
Zhao Rong’er was frightened by Shen Mu’s momentum and didn’t dare to speak.
Shen Mu turned to Lu Xize and asked, “So, because of the scar on my face, you called off the engagement? Who made the decision to call it off?”
Lu Xize looked serious and said, “Xiao Mu, the cancellation of the engagement was already decided by both families. My father came here today to agree to this decision. No matter what you say, this engagement is cancelled! Don’t make a scene and save yourself some face.”
Shen Mu sneered, “Both families have already decided? The engagement is between you and me. Did you and everyone else decide without informing me? Who is engaged to you, me, my stepmother, or your father?”
“Shen Mu!” Shen Lishan scolded her, “Shut up!”
Shen Qingxue was delighted in her heart.
Father scolded Shen Mu twice, so this matter was settled.
Even if Shen Mu clung to Lu Xize, this engagement was cancelled!
Shen Qingxue immediately put on a apologetic look and said, “Sister, I’m sorry for this. If you have any grievances, come to me. Don’t blame Xize…”
“Xue’er, you don’t have to apologize. You did nothing wrong.” Lu Xize hugged Shen Qingxue with affection.
Ou Jin urgently sent a WeChat message: “Yun Xiao, Shen Mu are both going to be targeted. Are you going to do anything about it?”
On the other end of the WeChat, Huo Yunxiao fumbled with the words on his phone, not paying attention to the report from the branch company.
His mind was full of the little girl in the cage, gritting her teeth and determined.
At this moment, she must be standing alone in the crowd, with no one to turn to.
Shen Mu sneered and said, “You know it’s your fault, right? Miss Zhao knows not to covet her friend’s things, and we are even sisters, but you still seduced my fiancé. Do you have no shame?!”
Shen Qingxue’s eyes were about to cry as she stuttered, “But…but it was you who said you weren’t interested in Xi Ze, and you were the one who was with other men first…”
These hesitant words immediately aroused the curiosity of the onlookers.
