"What? That incident before was really done by Qianshui?" Ning Zitong exclaimed in shock. Mu Jingheng nodded faintly. "Chuxi is not someone impulsive. If he’s willing to say this, then he must be absolutely certain." Mu Qianshui’s face turned pale, wanting to argue, but under Mu Jingheng’s authority, she did not dare. "Dad, how could Qianshui do something like that? Yan Xinxin is just a plain woman. Could it be that our Qianshui is inferior to her?" Mu Shaoqian insisted on defending her. Mu Jingheng’s expression was stern. "The facts are laid out. There’s no point in stubbornly arguing." As he spoke, he looked at Mu Qianshui, whose face was frozen in place. "Qianshui, a man not loving you doesn’t mean that by exhausting all schemes and eliminating the one he loves you can win him over. That is the most foolish thing a woman can do." Mu Qianshui’s fingers clenched tightly upon hearing these words. "A wise woman only cultivates her inner qualities, makes herself better. Even if she still cannot make that man love her, at the very least, her changes will make him see her in a new light." "Sorry, Dad, I know I was wrong." Mu Qianshui lowered her head. "I shouldn’t have had delusions about Chuxi. I’ll listen to you and give blessings to Chuxi and Lady Yan." As she spoke, her hands placed on her lap clenched tightly, and the unwillingness in her eyes was perfectly concealed. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩 The dinner ended on a sour note. Mu Shaoqian, still resentful, came to Mu Qianshui’s room. "Qianshui, I see that Mom and Dad have been completely swayed by Yan Xinxin. Are you really going to compromise ?" "What else can I do?" Mu Qianshui sighed sadly, her gaze full of sorrow as she looked at Mu Shaoqian. "Brother, in this family, you’re the only one who cares for me now. I’ve not only lost Chuxi but also, one could say, lost Mom and Dad..." Seeing Mu Qianshui cry, Mu Shaoqian, as her brother, naturally felt distressed. "My foolish sister, how could you lose Mom and Dad? You can’t honestly think they’ll take the side of that vixen, can you?" Mu Shaoqian sat beside Mu Qianshui to console her. "Stop crying. Don’t worry. If Mom and Dad don’t address this matter, I will! I won’t let that vixen get away with it! I’ll take care of this for you as your elder brother!" He was filled with righteous indignation, completely blind to the malicious smile deep in Mu Qianshui’s eyes. She raised tearful, alluring eyes and looked pitifully at Mu Shaoqian. "Brother, will you really help me stand up for this?" "Of course! Yuan is gone, and now you’re my only sister, Mu Shaoqian! I’ll definitely help you!" Mu Shaoqian thumped his chest in assurance. Mu Qianshui reached out a hand as if gratefully and held onto Mu Shaoqian’s hand. "Brother, thank you. I think right now, you’re the only one I can rely on!" She gazed tenderly at Mu Shaoqian, yet the venomous and ruthless side of her remained deeply hidden. Mu Shaoqian, you’re such a fool! Since you’re so stupid, treating me as your precious little sister, then you deserve to be used by me to ruin that Yan Xinxin who might very well be your actual sister! The wedding date drew near. Mo Chuxi had already taken care of all the arrangements needed for the wedding. Yan Xinxin received the bridal gown personally delivered by Mo Qingning. The gown was designed by Mo Qingning, and the subsequent crafting was done by professionals under Mo Chuxi’s instructions with intricate handmade details. He had said he would make her the most beautiful and happiest bride in the world. This stunningly gorgeous wedding dress, when worn by her, would certainly complement each other, radiating elegance and brilliance. Nightfall embraced the sky, stars twinkling. The brightly illuminated castle manor adorned with red double-happiness symbols shone with festive and luxurious joy. Yan Xinxin, with light makeup painted in shades of red, wearing a traditional crimson Chinese wedding gown, stood together with Mo Chuxi before Lin Yuan’ai and Mo Qifeng, who were seated on the sofa. Lin Yuan’ai stared at Yan Xinxin, who was vibrant and dazzling in her red attire, with evident displeasure. "Since you’re honoring me as your future mother-in-law with tea, then kneel down!"
