Chapter 853: Engagement (Part 34)
After Mu Haiyun finished speaking, except for Mu Haiyang’s mocking disdain, the rest of the Mu Family was stunned.
They knew Mu Haiyun’s temperament better than anyone.
From a young age, she had been very strong-willed. Whatever she liked, even if she didn’t initially have it, she would eventually obtain it through her own efforts.
And Bai Chenyao was the person she loved.
If there truly wasn’t an arranged marriage in place, knowing they would end up together, how could she possibly do nothing and let someone else get ahead of her?
What Mu Haiyun couldn’t have, she would rather destroy than let someone else obtain.
Thinking of his eldest daughter’s temperament, Mu Yi’s heart tightened sharply.
If things didn’t go according to his eldest daughter’s wishes, he wasn’t sure what she might do in the end.
But Tian Tian and Bai Chenyao were in love; how was his eldest daughter’s behavior now any different from Shen Xin’s back then?
"Haiyun, you—"
"Dad, I’ve made up my mind!"
Before Mu Yi could finish speaking, Mu Haiyun decisively interrupted him, even maintaining an elegant and composed smile on her face.
At that moment, Mu Yi’s bad premonition rose once more.
No matter what others thought, Mu Haiyang didn’t care.
He had been searching for his sister for over twenty years, and now happiness was within reach. No one was going to ruin it.
Especially not the daughter of Shen Xin, who had ruined their family back then.
Mu Haiyang’s eyes were deep as he looked at the smiling Mu Haiyun and laughed quite cheerfully.
"Since you’re so determined, then wish you all the best of luck!"
No one expected Mu Haiyang to suddenly say this; it was a stark contrast to his usual behavior, even Mu Haiyun frowned slightly at him.
Mu Haiyang continued to smile, his handsome face serene as if he were genuinely congratulating her.
"Many things in this world rely on human effort. I just hope you won’t end up battered and disfigured!"
This was Mu Haiyang’s real attitude toward Mu Haiyun!
Listening to Mu Haiyang’s last words, the slightly surprised Mu Haiyun smiled elegantly.
She slightly raised her chin, with inherent nobility and confidence, making her appear even more beautiful and graceful, her charm boundless.
"Rest assured, brother, that day will never come!"
Mu Haiyang laughed indifferently, glanced at the other members of the Mu Family, and without saying anything else, he turned and left with a faint smile.
——
Mu Tiantian was utterly unaware of the dispute within the Mu Family regarding the marriage.
Even if she knew, she would probably scoff at it.
To others, an arranged marriage might be highly important, but to Bai Chenyao, it was merely a piece of scrap paper.
Since meeting Bai Chenyao, she had never doubted his words.
This time was no exception.
Early the next morning, a groggy Mu Tiantian was pulled out of bed by Bai Chenyao, and she thought she saw Song Xiaozhi.
Once she was fully awake, she realized that it was indeed Song Xiaozhi in front of her.
Mu Tiantian was startled. Last night, Bai Chenyao had kept her up very late, and she had completely forgotten when she fell asleep.
Awakening to see Song Xiaozhi, and realizing she wasn’t in Jinxin Courtyard’s bedroom but in a makeup room, left Mu Tiantian feeling very shocked.
"Xiao Zhi?"
Seeing that Mu Tiantian finally woke up, Song Xiaozhi couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
"Oh my, I say, Second Miss Mu, you finally woke up!"
Mu Tiantian: "..."
