Chapter 768: Going to the soup and fighting the fire, don't hesitate
This incident may be a good thing for normal people, or it can be said to be a great joy. However, for Mu Shihan, it is definitely a bad thing, and it is a bad thing that ruined Mu Shihan's life, that is, Mu Shihan is getting engaged, and the time is today.
This news is too sudden, and too weird, so I was stunned, it stands to reason that if someone from a big family wants to get engaged, it must be a storm in the city and attract the attention of the world. Especially the Peng family, as the first family in the capital, they are going to hold an engagement banquet. The news should have spread all over the world a long time ago, and it spread in the capital, at least, the people of the nobles in the capital should know about it.
However, this Mu Shihan's engagement did not come out until today's engagement day, and the Peng family almost treated it as a top secret, what they did was so mysterious and unpredictable, it was too unreasonable. For this engagement, the Peng family seems to be very conservative, they basically did not invite outsiders, only a few people outside the Peng family were invited, and they were all the closest partners of the Peng family and the man's family. The rest of the people, they didn't seem to be invited, even the Ye family, was not on the invitation list, so it wasn't until today that we got the news here.
If it is said that Mu Shihan is engaged to an excellent man, or rather, a normal man who can match her, then no matter when they get engaged, no matter what they do secretively or extravagantly, it is not a bad thing. However, this man is a well-known gentleman in the capital. It is a loser who has not achieved enough and has more than enough to lose, and to put it bluntly, he is scum. His conduct is very bad, his ability is not good, and his appearance is extremely ugly, which is completely superb.
Although the second generation of the nobles in the capital has more or less their own abilities, and most of them are self-motivated, there are always exceptions. This man who is engaged to Mu Shihan is an alternative. His name is Zeng Junjie, a person whose name is extremely inconsistent with himself, and he himself has nothing to do with words like talent, even I, who has just arrived in the capital, know that he is notorious.
Of course, this Zeng Junjie is so handsome and can still be famous, mainly because he has an extraordinary father. Although their family does not belong to the four major families or the eight small families, his father Zeng Yan is really an amazing figure, it can be said that he is a national heavyweight, holding important departments and holding great power in the capital.
The capital is such a place where the heroes compete for the deer, it is very complicated, not all the high-level are belonging to the big family, there are also some new types of talents, the achievement of hegemony, they do not rely on the background, rely on their own struggle to reach the top, Zeng Yan is an example, he is now climbing to the position, very high, his rights, is even more popular with many people.
This time in the martial arts competition, the Peng family did not get the first place, and missed the position they held steadily, which was also a blow to the Peng family, this position was really important to the Peng family, but now it is suddenly gone, which makes their foundation in the capital lack a pillar, and it is not particularly stable, and Zeng Yan's rights are just the same as the position that the Peng family missed.
Obviously, the Peng family and the Zeng family got married, just to use Mu Shihan to stabilize their hegemony, in order to buy Zeng Yan, they did not hesitate to sell Mu Shihan's happiness, this Peng family is really despicable and vicious enough.
In the eyes of the Peng family, Mu Shihan has long been a thorn in the side, they have long wanted to remove her, and now, after experiencing the martial arts competition, Mu Shihan interceded for me. The Peng family naturally held a grudge against Mu Shihan, if it weren't for Mu Shihan's obstruction, I am afraid that I would have died in the hands of Peng Xingyu, and there would be no trouble in the future. Therefore, the Peng family sprinkled all their anger on Mu Shihan's body, and this engagement is equivalent to giving Mu Shihan away as a treasure that is beneficial to them, which can not only destroy Mu Shihan, but also win over the Zeng family for their Peng family, which is a good plan to kill two birds with one stone.
The Peng family only values interests. For Mu Shihan's happiness, they didn't think about it at all, and even they deliberately wanted Mu Shihan to be unhappy all his life. Perhaps, if it weren't for Mu Shihan's still some value, they might have to think of a way to kill people with a knife and borrow someone else's hand to kill Mu Shihan like the opening ceremony this time.
However, for Mu Shihan himself, this lifelong happiness is ruined, and it must be worse than death. What she cares about most is her feelings. In the past, in our school, she was recognized as a pure school flower, and she has always been clean and self-conscious, Xue Jinwei pursued her for so long, but she didn't accept it, just because she wanted to find a real feeling. She doesn't like to settle, she would rather die than be with a man she hates, Cao Zheng in the provincial city is an example.
I can understand Mu Shihan's mood at the moment, she must be like a knife, and I, it seems to be more uncomfortable than her, the thought of her marrying a waste, I feel heartbroken, especially, I know that she was so abused by the Peng family because she saved me, which makes me feel even more guilty and makes me uneasy. Therefore, this news is a big blow to me, and the person who delivered this news to me is the head of the Ye family.
In the past few days, I have been staying at the Ye family and staying at home. However, the head of the Ye family helped me pay attention to the dynamics of the Peng family all the time, and after knowing about this matter, he found me as soon as possible, and he sent someone to invite me to the living room, where he told me the news.
After saying this, he said to me very seriously: "Wu Lai, I heard that you and Miss Peng had a relationship in the past, and I also saw Miss Peng saving you in the martial arts arena, so I think it is necessary to tell you about this matter!"
When the head of the Ye family said this, I was still immersed in that unacceptable pain. After a long pause, I replied softly to the head of the Ye family: "Well, thank you!" ad_250_left ();
Seeing that I was absent-minded, the head of the Ye family immediately asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"
I know what the head of the Ye family means, and I have absolute trust in him as a person, so I don't plan to hide what I think in my heart, I straightened my back directly, and said to the head of the Ye family: "I want to stop this engagement." I can't let Shihan marry the loser of the Zeng family!"
Hearing this, the face of the head of the Ye family suddenly changed and became very nervous, he frowned and asked me, "Wu Lai, don't you mess around, don't you think this matter is very strange?"
I wondered, "What's wrong?"
The head of the Ye family said seriously: "You think, the Peng family is not engaged early or late, but they are engaged at this time, and it is a bit too coincidental to come at this time." Also, this engagement is so mysterious, I didn't get the news until today, and it seems that someone deliberately revealed this news, don't you think it's strange? I think the Peng family must know something about you, and they do it like they do it on purpose, deliberately trying to lure the snake out of the hole, and then take you down in one fell swoop!"
Lure the snake out of the hole. Perhaps. The Peng family has not moved since the martial arts competition, I guessed what they were doing in secret, and now, suddenly there is news that Mu Shihan is going to get engaged to someone else, which is definitely not like an accident. The Peng family should know my character, and even more so the relationship between me and Mu Shihan, they can expect that I will not hesitate for Mu Shihan, and the Peng family is not good to directly threaten me with Mu Shihan. They can only rely on this vile trick to deal with me and tempt me to take the bait.
It's just that I really care about Mu Shihan's happiness, I really don't want her life to be ruined like this, at the beginning, I failed her and made her emotionally lacking, which has made me feel guilty, I owe her, and I can't let her go. Although, we may be relatives now, we can't have love, but I have other feelings for her, I want her to be happy, I would rather her be good with Xue Jinwei than marry a scumbag.
Moreover, the Peng family treats me and Mu Shihan extremely cruelly, they will try their best to get rid of me, and they will try their best to make Mu Shihan feel bad, I think that if Mu Shihan really marries Zeng Junjie, she will definitely live in hell in the future, I can't let her be tortured, I would rather take risks myself and keep her.
I thought about it, after all. I still said to the head of the Ye family: "Maybe, but even if this is a conspiracy of the Peng family, I must go!"
The head of the Ye family looked at me with such a resolute attitude, his brows furrowed even deeper, his eyes were full of incredulity, he stared at me in amazement, and wondered: "You are crazy, why, is Miss Peng so important to you?"
I looked up slightly. Said thoughtfully: "My relationship with the Peng family, and the relationship with Miss Peng family, is not as simple as you think, it's just that it's really inconvenient for me to say these things, I can only tell you that no matter what conspiracy and trickery the Peng family has, I have to stop this engagement, even if what awaits me is a sea of swords and fires, I will not hesitate to do it!"
My words made the expression of the head of the Ye family stiffen directly, and he kept looking at me with a very complicated look, as if he wanted to see through me through his eyes, and after a long time, the head of the Ye family finally spoke and asked me, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but gently pull the corners of my mouth and said with a wry smile: "Don't be afraid." However, I don't want to die, I haven't committed any capital crimes now, I believe that the Peng family has no reason to deal with me openly, at least, they don't dare to kill me in broad daylight!"
After hearing this, the head of the Ye family couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed: "The bright ones can't do it, they can come to the dark ones!"
Hear this. My face suddenly became extremely serious, I looked at the head of the Ye family very solemnly, and made an extremely sonorous voice: "I'm not afraid of this, they want to deal with me secretly, it's not that simple, originally, I was also worried about what dark conspiracy they were engaged in, but now, I know their tricks, and I have a bottom in my heart." Besides, these days, every day like a shrinking turtle is suffocating here, I'm already about to get sick, I'd rather go outside and risk than shrink here all the time, I can't hide for the rest of my life, I always have to face it, so, this time. I have to go!"
My attitude is very firm, my tone is unquestionable, no matter what, I have to stop this engagement, even if the Peng family is waiting for me with their bloody mouths open, I will go, I believe that my life is hard. I have been on the verge of life and death so many times, and I am still alive, I don't believe that the Peng family can really do anything to me this time.
The head of the Ye family listened to my words, and stared at me with a meaningful look, he may also know that I am stubborn, and it is difficult to change the things that are decided, so for a while, he didn't know how to persuade me, and after a long pause, he spoke again and said to me seriously: "I heard that this engagement banquet, the Sun family was invited, don't forget, you killed Sun Haotian, and the Sun family has always been eyeing you!"
I said fearlessly: "I'm not even afraid of the Peng family, let alone his grandson family!"
I still say this sonorously, feeling. When I decided to go out, I was really not afraid of anything, and all that swelled up in my heart was a sense of heroism, perhaps because I had really been suffocated these days, so that I wanted to go out more now, and wanted to let myself go, I really didn't fit to be a turtle with a shrunken head, this kind of taste. Really aggrieved and depressed. Now, I think that I can face the difficulties head-on, and my heart is open and happy.
As for the danger, I am not afraid, the more there is a crisis, the more I have to challenge, I have nothing to fear, especially, I know that there is a hidden special force in my body, which makes me even more bold, deep in my heart, I have a strong self-confidence, this is the self-confidence that is not afraid of heaven and earth, and the self-confidence that dares to fight against the sky.
The head of the Ye family saw me so persistent, he was helpless, he knew that the wood was already in the boat, he couldn't persuade me to turn back, and in the end, he simply gave up the idea of stopping me, and just said to me deeply: "Do you need my help in any way?"
I thought for a moment, then replied, "Get me a car!"
Hearing this, the head of the Ye family couldn't help but be stunned, and said in disbelief: "That's it?"
I nodded, "Yes, that's it!"
The head of the Ye family was puzzled: "Don't you need me to send someone to follow?"
I didn't think about it, and said firmly: "No, I can do it alone, you just need to help me prepare a car, thank you!"
With that, I said goodbye to the head of the Ye family, turned around and left, and walked out of the living room proudly...
