Chapter 171: You Really Are Your Father’s Son

Leng Jiuchen paused for a while before he probed, “She doesn’t want to?”

s.h.i.+ 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.

s.h.i.+ Beiyu was an eligible bachelor with thousands of girls swooning after him. Yet… she refused to marry him?

“Have you thought this through?”

s.h.i.+ Beiyu nodded his head. “Yeah.”

“Okay, then.”

“Keep it a secret.”

“Got it.”

After ending the call, s.h.i.+ Beiyu let out a long sigh.

Only then did he calm down.

Instead of going back to the s.h.i.+ 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 s.h.i.+ sitting alone in the living room.

Seeing his return, Mother s.h.i.+ 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?”

s.h.i.+ 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 s.h.i.+ 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 s.h.i.+ snickered. “If you’re thinking of marrying that vixen from the Mu family, then you can forget about it!”

The light dimmed in s.h.i.+ Beiyu’s eyes. He did not want to waste any more time talking to Mother s.h.i.+. 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 s.h.i.+ studied s.h.i.+ Beiyu’s face before asking in a deep voice, “Was that little b*tch at the banquet tonight?”

Mother s.h.i.+ initially thought that s.h.i.+ 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 s.h.i.+ calling Mu Siyin that way, s.h.i.+ Beiyu roared, “Mom! You’re the Lady of the s.h.i.+ family. Can you please watch your words?”

Mother s.h.i.+ was mad too. “My words? Was I wrong?”

The conversation made her think of the painful past, and she looked at s.h.i.+ Beiyu with tears in her eyes. “You really are your father’s son! All you know is how to break my heart!”

s.h.i.+ Beiyu was so sick of this that he let out a deep sigh. He looked at Mother s.h.i.+ 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 s.h.i.+ clenched her fists tightly as she turned around to look at s.h.i.+ 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!”

s.h.i.+ Beiyu did not bother looking back as he answered indifferently, “Then I’ll risk everything to keep her by my side.”

Mother s.h.i.+’s body trembled in anger.

“In that case, I’ll do whatever it takes to break you free from her spell!”

Mother s.h.i.+ was utterly disappointed in s.h.i.+ 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!
