Chapter 2066: Chapter 2039: Mu Qingchuan’s Proposal
Along with Mr. Mu’s voice, soon, a sound of footsteps came from afar.
Hearing the footsteps coming from outside, True Qi on Lu Tianxing’s face fluctuated for a moment and transformed once again into that extremely ordinary face. Looking at Mr. Mu, he said, "Elder Mu, I bid you farewell. I won’t give up on this matter unless I’m dead."
Having said this, Lu Tianxing didn’t wait for Mr. Mu to speak and immediately turned around and walked out.
Mr. Mu stood there, watching Lu Tianxing’s back, fiercely flicking his sleeve, and then heavily snorted, as if he couldn’t wait for Lu Tianxing to leave.
"Creak!"
Just after Lu Tianxing left, the door to the room behind Mr. Mu was suddenly opened by someone, and Mu Qingchuan walked out of the room.
"Grandfather."
After Mu Qingchuan walked up to Mr. Mu, he immediately addressed him respectfully.
Mr. Mu glanced at Mu Qingchuan and slowly said, "You heard what Lu Tianxing said just now. What do you think?"
"I think he really likes Qingxue; otherwise, he wouldn’t risk coming to the Mu Family."
Even though Mu Qingchuan didn’t like Lu Tianxing in his heart, at this moment, he couldn’t help but admit that Lu Tianxing was a real man. He dared to admit in front of Mr. Mu that he wanted to marry Mu Qingxue and even remained unfazed by Mr. Mu’s threats. If it were someone else, they probably couldn’t do it; even Sima Lingyun couldn’t remain as calm as Lu Tianxing.
"I know he likes Qingxue; otherwise, do you think he could leave here unharmed?"
Mr. Mu snorted coldly and looked at Mu Qingchuan, saying, "How has Qingxue been lately?"
"Still the same, no major changes. Second Grandpa has been sending people to persuade her, hoping to convince Qingxue, but unfortunately, it’s been futile."
Mu Qingchuan sighed and said, "Moreover, Qingxue already knows Lu Tianxing has come to Beijing. Grandfather, should I secretly take Qingxue out to meet Lu Tianxing? Otherwise, I’m really worried Qingxue might sneak out of the Mu Family."
Sighing helplessly once again, Mu Qingchuan was too aware of his sister’s character. Although Mu Qingxue didn’t say anything yesterday, he knew exactly what she was thinking. She wouldn’t stand by and watch Lu Tianxing come to Beijing to die. If Lu Tianxing insisted on meeting his doom, Mu Qingxue would undoubtedly follow him to the netherworld without hesitation.
Mu Qingchuan completely believed this and knew Mu Qingxue was certainly capable of such an act.
"Let Qingxue meet with Lu Tianxing?"
Mr. Mu furrowed his brows slightly, "What about your plan?"
"I can revise my plan."
Mu Qingchuan sighed deeply and said, "I originally planned to have Qingxue take a fake death pill and enter a state of fake death when she married Tang Qingyun. Given the Tang Family’s style, they surely wouldn’t want a dead person to marry into their family. This way, Qingxue could escape the arranged marriage with the Tang Family. If Lu Tianxing appeared then, he could take Qingxue’s ’corpse’ away from the Mu Family, and we could announce that Mu Qingxue had died to the outside world. This would eliminate any doubts about Qingxue’s whereabouts. Even if someone saw Qingxue with Lu Tianxing later, we could insist that it’s just someone who looks like her, and the Tang Family wouldn’t be able to do anything to us."
"Even when Lu Tianxing came to Beijing, I was still thinking along these lines. But today, when Lu Tianxing appeared in the Mu Family and faced your threats without changing his expression, I realized this plan was unfeasible and unnecessary to continue."
Having said this, Mu Qingchuan slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and said, "I intended to test whether Lu Tianxing truly loved Qingxue and was willing to go through fire and water for her. But Lu Tianxing’s visit to the Mu Family already proves he deeply loves Qingxue."
"So, whether Qingxue fakes her death or not, it’s no longer important. More importantly, I don’t want to see Qingxue so miserable anymore. I hope she can be happy every day, instead of being silent, morose, and unhappy like now."
Since returning to Beijing and agreeing to marry Tang Qingyun, there had been no smiles on Mu Qingxue’s face. Even when she sometimes smiled at him, Mu Qingchuan distinctly sensed it was self-disguise, not wanting others to see her true emotions. In reality, he could feel how lonely and desolate Mu Qingxue was, and he was very clear that in Mu Qingxue’s heart, the happiest moments were when she was with Lu Tianxing. He didn’t want to see his sister suffering internally yet pretending to be cheerful.
Listening to Mu Qingchuan’s words, Mr. Mu’s face involuntarily showed a trace of sorrow. He sighed softly. Mu Qingxue had grown up under his watch as his own granddaughter. How could he not feel her inner pain? But as the Family Head of the Mu Family, he carried its weight on his shoulders. Sometimes indecisiveness had to be cast aside. Even if he wasn’t willing, he often had no choice.
"How are you planning to take Qingxue away from the Mu Family? Now your Second Grandpa has arranged quite a few spies in the Mu Family, watching Qingxue’s every move. If you want to take Qingxue out, it’s not going to be easy." Mr. Mu didn’t reject Mu Qingchuan’s proposal but instead asked gravely. Just like Mu Qingchuan mentioned, he also didn’t want to see Mu Qingxue unhappy every day.
"Using a double."
Mu Qingchuan slowly said, "I’ll find a woman of similar stature and voice as Qingxue to pose as her, keeping her in Qingxue’s boudoir continuously. I’ll request the top disguise expert from the Yanhuang Group to transform her to look like Qingxue, so we can deceive everyone. As for Qingxue, after her disguise, I’ll secretly take her away from the Mu Family."
Listening to Mu Qingchuan, Mr. Mu nodded and said, "Then do as you say!"
After his words, Mr. Mu, as if he remembered something, looked at Mu Qingchuan and said, "Talk to Qingxue about this matter and let her be happy. It will stop her from overthinking."
Mu Qingchuan nodded, "Grandfather, I’ll go check on Qingxue first."
"Hmm, go on!"
Mr. Mu waved his hand casually. Mu Qingchuan nodded again, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Watching Mu Qingchuan’s departing silhouette, Mr. Mu slowly exhaled, looking up at the sky, murmuring in a low voice, "The curtain is finally lifted. This time, Lu Tianxing, let’s see if you can tear through this net. If you can’t, only death awaits you."
