Chapter 2693: Chapter 24: Proposing Marriage
Mu Niancheng listened to the boring conversation between the two and his mouth twitched.
Qi Yunqiao exclaimed, "Ah, this is great news."
Rolling her eyes, she noticed Ms. Fan’s face wasn’t showing any joy, so she took two steps forward and asked, "Aunt, do you disagree? Do you not fancy my third cousin?"
Ms. Fan didn’t speak; she wasn’t exactly disagreeing, but was caught off guard—Ye Family’s approach was too swift for her to process.
Mu Shaofeng as well, looked at Ye Zi’an keenly and asked, "Why do I feel like you’ve schemed against me?"
Mu Shaoling nodded in agreement, "This reeks of conspiracy."
Ye Zi’an expressed his innocence, "This has nothing to do with me! It was all Xiaxia’s idea."
The Mu family brothers evidently didn’t believe him.
Qi Yunqiao leaned towards Yang Chuxia, "Aunt, have you mentioned that matter yet?"
"I haven’t had the chance."
Qi Yunqiao glanced at everyone before suddenly instructing the servants, "No need to serve here, leave. Take this nanny to the side hall for a cup of tea."
The people in the room were again astonished, watching her order the closing of the living room door, and even asking for a whip to be brought.
Right now, the aunt and niece were cooperating flawlessly.
Once the hall doors were closed, Yang Chuxia scolded Qingqing, "You brat, kneel down and apologize to your Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu!"
Ye Rongqing turned around and picked up the whip beside her, holding it with both hands before Mu Shaofeng, kneeling with a thud, "Uncle Mu, this is all my fault, not Shuangshuang’s. Please punish me!"
Mu Shaofeng felt a bit tangled as the situation had changed too quickly.
Seeing this, Yang Chuxia had no choice but to explain briefly, and suddenly Mu Shaofeng’s face darkened, and Ms. Fan’s face also showed anger.
"You brat!"
Mu Shaofeng was truly furious now; his precious daughter had been taken advantage of by this punk, and in such circumstances.
Seeing the whip in his hand, he snatched it and lashed out with a crack.
One lash was not enough, followed by another, and another...
Watching her son being beaten in front of them made Yang Chuxia, who was protective, feel heartache. But she couldn’t stop him, so she turned her head away.
Ye Zi’an reassuringly patted her hand.
"Enough!" Eventually, Ms. Fan couldn’t bear it any longer and called out to Mu Shaofeng, "It’s reached this point, beating him to death won’t solve anything."
Mu Shaofeng threw the whip away, coldly snorted twice.
Turning his head, he saw Yang Chuxia sitting calmly in the chair, and thought, it’s really not easy that she didn’t jump in.
But then, looking at the gifts on the ground, he sneered, "I wondered why you were making such a fuss about this event; here’s the reason! Truly a sharp mind you have."
Yang Chuxia smiled sheepishly, and spoke to Ms. Fan, "Sister-in-law, this was Qingqing’s fault, and we’ve reprimanded him at home. The child knows his wrongdoing and vows never to touch alcohol again. As for the matter with the two kids, what do you think? It’s come to this, it needs to be resolved."
Ms. Fan had been somewhat persuaded; the Ye Family indeed was a good family. At first, she didn’t speak up, thinking the girl’s side shouldn’t agree too quickly but should be reserved.
However, upon hearing this, she felt even more compelled not to quickly agree.
Besides, harboring some resentment, she stiltedly said, "We’ll consider this matter further."
Yang Chuxia had already prepared for a prolonged battle, and upon hearing this, she replied, "Alright, then we’ll come tomorrow to hear what you decide. For now, we’ll take our leave."
