Leng Jiuchen paused for a while before he probed, “She doesn’t want to?”
Shi Beiyu remained quiet for a long time.
Leng Jiuchen understood. It seemed like Mu Siyin really did not agree to it.
This Miss Mu… really was quite something.
Shi Beiyu was an eligible bachelor with thousands of girls swooning after him. Yet… she refused to marry him?
“Have you thought this through?”
Shi Beiyu nodded his head. “Yeah.”
“Okay, then.”
“Keep it a secret.”
“Got it.”
After ending the call, Shi Beiyu let out a long sigh.
Only then did he calm down.
Instead of going back to the Shi family manor, he headed to the villa.
The moment he got into the building, he noticed a change in the atmosphere. As he looked up, he saw an upset Mother Shi sitting alone in the living room.
Seeing his return, Mother Shi stood up angrily from the sofa. This time, she could finally let out her anger. “Ah Yu! You’ve stepped over the line! Do you know that your actions tonight ruined your Grandpa’s birthday?”
Shi Beiyu remained emotionless as he paced forward. “It wasn’t me who ruined it. You guys had demolished your own party from the beginning.”
“Y-your Grandpa wanted to pick a fiancee for you on his birthday. He meant well. How can you break his heart like that?”
“I’ve told you that I don’t want to get married.”
Mother Shi panicked. “What do you mean you don’t want to get married? You’re already 28! The young masters from other families are already fathers by now. What about you?”
“They’re not me.”
Mother Shi snickered. “If you’re thinking of marrying that vixen from the Mu family, then you can forget about it!”
The light dimmed in Shi Beiyu’s eyes. He did not want to waste any more time talking to Mother Shi. So, he gave a faint reply, “We have nothing to talk about anymore. What happened tonight is my fault. I’ll make it up to Grandpa tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, Mother Shi studied Shi Beiyu’s face before asking in a deep voice, “Was that little b*tch at the banquet tonight?”
Mother Shi initially thought that Shi Beiyu had pushed Yue Yiru away because he did not want to dance. However, a thought crossed her mind the moment she saw him frantically searching in the crowd. Perhaps… Mu Siyin present too?
That was why he acted so insane!
No longer able to tolerate Mother Shi calling Mu Siyin that way, Shi Beiyu roared, “Mom! You’re the Lady of the Shi family. Can you please watch your words?”
Mother Shi was mad too. “My words? Was I wrong?”
The conversation made her think of the painful past, and she looked at Shi Beiyu with tears in her eyes. “You really are your father’s son! All you know is how to break my heart!”
Shi Beiyu was so sick of this that he let out a deep sigh. He looked at Mother Shi and said, “It’s late now. If you don’t feel like going back, you can stay here for the night.”
After that, he strode upstairs.
Mother Shi clenched her fists tightly as she turned around to look at Shi Beiyu. Her voice was stern as she said, “If you insist on being together with Mu Siyin, your Grandpa and I will do everything we can to tear you both apart!”
Shi Beiyu did not bother looking back as he answered indifferently, “Then I’ll risk everything to keep her by my side.”
Mother Shi’s body trembled in anger.
“In that case, I’ll do whatever it takes to break you free from her spell!”
Mother Shi was utterly disappointed in Shi Beiyu. Although he was a stubborn person, she had always thought of him as a filial and understanding child.
However…
The son whom she had always been proud of had also fallen victim to the women of the Mu family…
She could not wait to grind them into ashes! That was the only way for her to let go of her grudges!
