Hearing the commotion, Mu Ze also looked over, immediately imprinting that person into his vision.
Her appearance was like a blooming peony, graceful and gorgeous, indescribably noble.
In particular, there was a faint scholarly air between her eyebrows, which added a touch of turbid elegance to her.
She wore a white strapless dress that trailed on the floor, the curve gradually decreasing from the front to the back. The delicate lace lining accentuated her white legs, tall and slender.
Ah Nuo's graceful figure was vividly displayed.
Strands of tassels hung down from her waist, and as she walked, she looked as elegant as a fairy.
As soon as she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention.
She was the center of attention, like a queen.
Ye Zhen smiled in satisfaction, but in her heart, she was extremely disdainful. It was just a superficial appearance. If her daughter were here, she would definitely receive more attention than that cheap embryo Zheng Xunmi.
But she would not let her daughter come today. What if the other party took a liking to her daughter?
Ye Zhen, who was supremely confident in her daughter's charms, did not believe that Zheng Qixin would be looked down upon.
She brought Xunmi to greet the two elders of the Mu clan, mustering up all her strength to push her out.
"My two in-laws, my apologies for coming late. This is my eldest daughter, Xunmi."
"Xunmi, hurry and greet them. In the future, we'll be family. You have to listen to them, understand?"
Ye Zhen had threatened Xunmi on the way here, so she was not worried that she would cause trouble.
Unless she wanted to see that old thing die in the sanatorium, hmph.
Xunmi's indifferent face softened as she politely opened her mouth.
"Uncle, Aunt, good day."
"What are you calling uncle and aunt for? Ye Zhen is right. We're all family, all family."
Madam Mu, Gu Yalan, affectionately took Xunmi's hand, her tone gentle and her smile much wider. She was clearly very satisfied with her.
Although Ye Zhen was not satisfied with how Gu Yalan addressed her, she could not say anything, so she agreed.
"Yes, yes, we are all family. You can do whatever you want with Xunmi at home, but when you go to the Mu family, you can't cause trouble for them, okay?"
He seemed to be teaching her respectfully, but in fact, he was secretly reminding her to know her place and not do anything unnecessary.
Xunmi lowered her eyes and did not answer. Her expression did not change.
Gu Yalan looked down on Ye Zhen. If she hadn't interfered with her good friend's marriage, her good friend wouldn't have died.
However, those were other people's family matters, so she couldn't say much.
He just didn't expect that this child would grow up to be so beautiful. Although he didn't know what her character was like, he knew that she wasn't bad just by looking at her temperament.
She was worthy of their son. They just didn't know that their son …
She couldn't help but sigh. Back then, she shouldn't have condoned her husband's behavior and harmed her son.
Now, it was difficult for her to even talk to her son. Gu Yalan felt terrible, but there was nothing she could do.
Seeing another person come up to chat with the Mu family, XunMi said goodbye to Gu Yalan and retreated to the balcony.
The engagement ceremony was at 12 o 'clock and it was not even 11 o' clock yet.
She leaned against the pillar and looked at the blooming flowers in the garden. She didn't know if Mu Ze was her husband.
If he wasn't, she would be done for.
Mu Ze didn't come back to his senses until she disappeared from his sight. His eyes flickered. Who was she?
Why did she look so familiar? He couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
He turned his wheelchair and entered the elevator. This engagement was a joke and he didn't intend to let it go smoothly.
Wen Zhitong didn't see what happened in the hall because she was in the garden. She only saw a sea of heads.
She retracted her gaze and looked at the balcony on the second floor. There was no one there.
Where did he go?
She walked inside with her wine glass and her skirt. She wanted to see if that person was in the hall.
Just as she walked to the balcony, she saw the person leaning against the pillar in the corner.
Her presence was too strong. Even if her position was hidden, she couldn't be ignored.
However, Wen Zhitong instinctively didn't like this person. When the other party looked over, she raised her chin arrogantly and walked away.
Xunmi was indifferent. Was this person crazy?
When Gu Yalan saw her son coming down, she went up to him excitedly. She had just opened her mouth when she was stared at by his emotionless eyes.
"Son, you …" Gu Yalan wanted to continue but couldn't finish her sentence. Her throat was blocked.
Mu Ze looked at his mother coldly and turned his wheelchair to the man standing on the stage.
Today wasn't just the engagement ceremony. It was also Mu Ze's 25th birthday. It was also the sixth year that he couldn't stand up.
Xunmi was talking to the baby when she was attracted by the voice inside.
"Thank you everyone for coming to the engagement ceremony of my son and the daughter of the Zheng family. I …"
"I don't have a fiancée." Old Master Mu had just started speaking when he was interrupted by a deep voice that couldn't be ignored.
Mu Kun's face froze. He looked at the person in the wheelchair and couldn't hide the guilt in his eyes.
"Ze 'er …"
"I don't need a fiancée. Don't make me say it for the third time."
Mu Ze's eyes were getting colder and colder. The aura around him was also much colder.
He only wanted that person and he didn't need a fiancée. He only needed a lover and that person was her.
Xunmi curled her lips playfully. The original book didn't write that there would be such a scene at the engagement ceremony.
She had been through so many worlds and this was the first time that someone broke off their engagement in front of her. What a novel experience.
A dark look flashed across her eyes. It seemed that this person wasn't her husband. If it was her own beloved, he wouldn't treat her like this.
But since he had helped the original owner and didn't owe her anything, she would be magnanimous and let it go this time.
"Ze 'er!" Mu Kun didn't agree. If there was someone who could take care of their son, they would feel more at ease.
But now, their son's attitude really made them speechless.
Mu Ze pursed his lips and didn't say anything. But it was obvious that he wouldn't let them do as they wished.
Xunmi tidied her dress and walked out from the corner gracefully.
"Mu Ze, what do you mean by this? You don't like my Xunmi?"
Zheng Honghai immediately questioned. His face was also ugly with anger.
Whether or not he truly cared about his daughter, Mu Ze's actions were a slap to his face.
Xunmi's footsteps paused. Oh, how could I forget that these two had other plans?
Ye Zhen inwardly rejoiced in Mu Ze's misfortune, but she maintained an innocent expression.
After all, Zheng Xunmi still carried the surname Zheng and was the young lady of the Zheng clan.
Her engagement being broken off wasn't just a loss of face for that cheap Zheng Xunmi, but for them as well.
"Madam Mu, you have to give us an explanation."
"Although our Zheng clan has a low status and can't compare to your Mu clan, we can't let our sincerity become a joke."
"It was you who agreed and now you're going back on your word. You've gone too far."
For Ye Zhen to be able to become Zheng Honghai's secretary, she was no idiot. Her schemes and methods were top-notch.
