The situation changed in an instant...

  Mei smiled inexplicably, "Really? If I let the Mu family disapprove of this marriage, would you still insist on it, little sister?"

  "Yes!" Ye Yier's beautiful eyes were full of unwavering determination, "I will persist in all of it!"

  "Miss Mu, what exactly do you want me to do before you'll leave Yu'er? I've already satisfied you!"

  Her smile undiminished, she walked up to the noblewoman's side, leaned in and pressed her cherry-red lips against the noblewoman's ear. "Actually, madam, you only needed to say one word for me to break up with Yu. You really didn't need to use money to humiliate me. And besides, madam, my surname is Mu, I'm Mu Zhiyu... and also, I have the surname Ling... You wouldn't have been married into the Mu family for so many years and still forgotten your own surname, would you? My dear Aunt Qiu Xuan..."

  She picked up the corners of her mouth and walked away with a faint smile.

  Ling Qiuxuan stared blankly at the departing figure of Mu Zhiyao, for a moment not knowing what to say. A few seconds later, she caught up with him.

  "Brother Yu, is Xiao Er Jie angry?" Ye Yi Er looked at Mu Hao Yu with some trepidation, who was sitting across from her and showed no reaction.

  "Brother Yu, should I go and apologize to Xiaojie? I feel a bit sorry for Xiaojie." "You just stay put and behave. Her matter, I will handle it."

  ……

  "Auntie, I'm sorry about earlier." She was her only relative now...

  "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Mind your own business. That fire back then, did you all escape?"

  Her beautiful eyes dimmed down like the ebbing tide. She was most reluctant to mention that fire...

  "No. My parents and sister, they all... " She paused, "Auntie, you know. The villa's basement had a hiding place, but only two people could fit. The fire came too suddenly, when my sister and I went downstairs, there was only one place left to hide. My sister let me hide in it. As for her... I don't know what happened to her either."

  She would never forget her sister's last smile in her memory.

  She remembered her sister's determined look on her pretty face when she put her in that hiding place for one person.

  She said to her sister, "Don't be afraid, little sister. I'm here."

  She was rescued by someone. All she knew was that when she woke up, she was already in the orphanage. Her sister was not by her side.

  She inquired all around and finally got a piece of news - her sister had died on the way to the hospital due to serious injuries.

  "Auntie..." she softly called out to Ling Qiuxuan.

  "Auntie, don't tell Mu Haoyu about this, okay? By the way, he doesn't like Ye Yier..."

  ……

  "Darling!" Mu Zhiyu wrapped his arms around Mu Haoyu from behind. A kiss fell on his handsome face. "Darling, are you really going to get engaged with Yier sister? Just now I talked to Auntie for a bit, she said...she said everything is up to you! Right, Auntie?"

  The woman smiled faintly. "Yes! Yuer, this child, I like her very much. From now on, let her live with us. You two cultivate your feelings well."

  Ling Qiuxuan sat elegantly in her previous seat, and the gaze she cast towards Mu Zhiyin was full of adoration.

  Mù Hàoyǔ was speechless.

  They didn't just go out for a short while? How did Mu Zhiyin settle his domineering mother so quickly? What exactly did Mu Zhiyin do?

  Miao Haoyu took a deep look at Mu Zhiyin beside him.

  The corners of his mouth curled up into a carefree smile.
