Chapter 3: Betrayal
"Bang!"
Chen Mu rushed out of the courtyard directly, he was going to find his father to ask about the situation!
"Hey, Chen Mu, don't run so fast!"
Dan Fat Man was out of breath in the back, panting and shouting as he ran.
Chen Mu didn't hear the shouts of the fat man behind him, and his head was now full of the words just now.
"I didn't know it before, I guess you were still in the dark, half a month ago, that Zhang Yiyi agreed to this marriage contract!"
Half a month ago......
Chen Mu's first thought was that he couldn't believe it!
Because it was clear that yesterday, Yiyi also came to find herself, telling herself that she was about to break through to the Bone Refining Realm, and it didn't seem to be much different from usual.
But Chen Mu's heart was still shaken.
Because Zhang Yiyi has been asking for something every time she appears, it seems that every time she appears, she also asks for something.
After that, it's a hurried goodbye......
"Is it just for ......"
Chen Mu didn't dare to think about it!
My father spoiled himself too much, and after going through those things, he basically only cared about himself.
But his father opened a small stove for himself to send all kinds of genius treasures to assist in cultivation, and he gave them to Zhang Yiyi when he couldn't use them.
And every time Zhang Yiyi appeared later, it seemed to come with a purpose......
"I don't believe Yiyi is that kind of person!"
Chen Mu shook off these miscellaneous thoughts in his head, maybe he was concerned and chaotic, Rao was Chen Mu's heart, and it was inevitable that he would think about it at this moment.
He took a deep breath and headed straight for the family chamber!
This is usually the time when the elders of the family chamber are discussing family affairs.
Father, as the second in charge, will still be there.
And Chen Mu had just broken through, his body was as light as a swallow, and he suddenly threw the fat man out of sight......
......
At this moment, inside the family chamber.
"What did you say? The Zhang family agreed to the Jiang family's marriage contract?"
At this time, it was the head of the Chen family, Chen Lei, who spoke.
Chen Lei is also Chen Mu's second uncle.
At this moment, his face was gloomy as water, but the corner of his eye glanced at Chen Jintian, who had not spoken from beginning to end.
"It was about half a month ago, and now we know it. ”
The elder of the Chen family also shook his head, the marriage between the Zhang family and the Jiang family was not necessarily a good thing for the Chen family.
He thinks about it on a family level.
After all, now there are three major forces in Shimu Town, and the Chen family firmly occupies a territory.
But a family like the Zhang family, which only slowly rose later, is actually a hidden competitiveness.
Not all small families will be as indisputable as the Dan family.
The three major forces, except for the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, which has the backers of Qingshui City, the Chen family and the Jiang family have their own abacus.
Wooing a Zhang family that may pose a threat in the future and taking precautions is what both the Chen family and the Jiang family are doing.
And now, it is obvious that the Chen family is one step behind.
"Big Brother ......"
Chen Lei looked at Chen Jintian.
He knew about his eldest brother, although the two brothers had an excellent relationship.
But after what happened, his originally high-spirited eldest brother no longer has the demeanor of the past......
What he was more worried about was that the only thing that could make Chen Jintian cheer up now was Chen Mu's son......
And the relationship between Zhang Yiyi and Chen Mu is seen by all the people of the family.
Everyone didn't stop it.
First, it can also be used to establish a good relationship with the Zhang family, and secondly, there are choices for emotional matters.
Even if Chen Mu is just an ordinary person, the Chen family can shelter him.
But now if Zhang Yiyi agrees to the Jiang family's marriage contract, Chen Mu should not know it yet......
If this incident dealt a blow to Chen Mu, then indirectly, his eldest brother Chen Jintian would not sit idly by.
"I know. ”
Chen Jintian glanced at Chen Lei and spoke in a hoarse voice.
He was basically silent and rarely spoke, even to Chen Mu.
"Is there any uncertainty in this matter?"
The second elder also asked.
Chen Mu may be just a small problem, the biggest problem, the Chen family is the most concerned with the Chen family.
"Since the Jiang family has released this news, it proves that there are basically no variables......
Chen Lei shook his head, the Jiang family was not afraid that the Chen family would make trouble from it.
The Third Elder had not spoken, and at this moment he was just about to speak.
Suddenly there was a loud bang!
The door to the council chamber was slammed open.
"Daddy!"
Chen Mu's rapid breathing came to mind and looked at everyone in the chamber.
"Chen Mu, what are you doing here?"
Chen Lei frowned, although he was also Chen Mu's second uncle, but after all, this was the family's meeting hall, and ordinary children of the Chen family could not trespass without permission.
"Shepherd......
Chen Jintian saw Chen Mu's panting appearance, his face was full of anxiety, obviously he heard something about Zhang Yiyi.
"Second uncle, dad!"
Chen Mu also knew that his behavior was a little abrupt, but he still couldn't help but ask, "I'm here to ask...... Yiyi's ......"
"Nonsense!"
Chen Lei drank coldly.
"This is the council chamber, I'll talk about it later!"
Chen Mu's eyes fell on his father.
"Mu'er, you go out first, this matter will be mentioned later......"
Chen Jintian also nodded, sighing in his heart.
His son seems to be very similar to his own heart back then.
It's good for anything, even if it's ridiculed and neglected, it's almost unwavering, but once it touches that little bit of weakness in your heart, it's easy to be impulsive......
When Chen Mu heard this, he could only nod.
When he turned to go out, he clenched his fists and seemed a little weak, but he still managed to calm down......
Stand outside the corridor of the council chamber.
Chen Mu took a deep breath before slowly reacting.
"I'm too reckless......"
Chen Mu shook his head, he actually went straight to the council hall because of a piece of news.
But he still clenched his fists tightly.
"Looking at the attitude of the second uncle and his father, I feel that this matter should be true......"
Although he was reckless, he did not lose his mind, and from the looks of the second uncle and his father, he could still see some clues.
"Is it that you rely on me to come close to me and walk with me just to take advantage of me?"
Chen Mu couldn't believe it!
Obviously, everyone has known each other since childhood.
In Chen Mu's opinion, neither of them seemed to have any wariness of each other.
Even if...... Zhang Yiyi doesn't like herself, at the very least, she should be a good friend.
The Jiang family and the Chen family have always been in a state of opposition, and it is impossible for Zhang Yiyi not to know.
And the former hand was so good to him, and after taking the benefits, he immediately agreed to the marriage contract of the Jiang family?
This experience is like being betrayed by the person closest to you.
Chen Mu suddenly felt a little like his heart was collapsing.
"Yiyi, is it really such a person?"
......
And the atmosphere in the council chamber was more serious.
"I want to ask one thing. Chen Jintian listened to the elders communicating with each other, and suddenly spoke, and everyone fell silent and looked at the former.
"I want to ask one thing, this marriage contract, was the little girl herself agreed, or did the Zhang family agree?"
A sentence woke up a few people present.
Chen Lei was also eye-catching.
"Yes, you can start with Chen Mu!"
Chen Lei understood his eldest brother's thoughts.
If this matter is only what the Zhang family promised, it is not the will of the Zhang family's little daughter herself.
In that matter, with the relationship between Chen Mu, this kid and Zhang Yiyi, the Chen family has an excuse to get involved!
"It seems that Chen Mu is really going to let him go......"
Chen Lei looked at Chen Jintian and asked Chen Mu to inquire was naturally the best way.
Seeing that the latter did not object, the three members of the Council of Elders glanced at each other, and naturally nodded.
"That's the best way to go. ”
The Great Elder nodded and said, "If you forcibly intervene, you will also be laughed at at that time." ”
It's impossible, on the day of someone's wedding, come to the door to ruin the marriage, right?
Chen Jintian's eyes did reveal a hint of worry.
He was not worried about the Chen family, but Chen Mu.
Looking at that kid's hot appearance, I'm afraid that things are not as easy to meddle in as they imagined......
......
"Damn, why are you running too fast and eating a rabbit's heart?"
"Fatty. Chen Mu still couldn't believe it.
"You told me one by one, Yiyi really agreed to the marriage contract with the Jiang family?"
"Eh, I'm talking about you......"
The fat man held his waist, and before he could take a breath, he gasped and said, "I didn't finish my words just now, you ran out in a hurry, how about you let me speak, Master Chen......"
"You say. ”
A glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in Chen Mu's eyes.
"I didn't believe it...... "Dan Fat finally relented, "I heard the news two days ago, I thought it was a lie, so I didn't tell you......"
"But when I was wandering around the market just now, I saw Yiyi and a few disciples of the Jiang family picking and buying things together, and those Jiang family disciples were still calling 'sister-in-law' and something like that......"
"Bang!"
As soon as the fat man's voice fell, Chen Mu's whole person was uncontrollable, and his whole body was shocked, and the whole person flew out!
"I rub it, why do you ...... every time?"
Dan Fat Man is helpless, he belongs to the kind of person who fishes for three days and dries nets for two days when he cultivates, he opened his dantian at the age of six, and now he is still at the peak of the second layer of the Qi Refining Realm at the age of seventeen......
Eating, drinking, and having fun all day long without cultivating, plus being obese, where can he catch up with Chen Mu.
Don't say that Chen Mu's strength has risen sharply, Chen Mu used to practice external skills every day, and his speed was not slower than him.
"There is no one who runs out like a monkey when he says two words, and he probably goes to the market...... Alas, my body and bones have suffered with it, and I have to eat a big meal tonight. ”
Dan Fat Man complained bitterly in his heart, so he could only pat his ass and chase after him.
"Market...... Yiyi, I respect your choice, but I also hope that you can give me an explanation......"
Chen Mu was extremely fast, and went straight to the Shimu Town Market, where the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group was located......
