Li Jue stood rooted to the ground and watched as Jiujiu left with Mu Rong.
After Jiujiu arrived at the Mu family, Mu Linlang's family was sent over by Mu Rong.
Mu Rong did not chop off Mu Yuan's head, but he removed Mu Yuan's name from the Mu family forever.
To Mu Yuan, Mu Rong removing his name from the Mu family was worse than killing him. However, he did not dare to reason with Mu Rong.
The current Mu Rong was no longer the child who would politely call him uncle when he saw him. Instead, he was an arrogant and eccentric cripple. When he thought of Mu Rong's methods of dealing with those traitors, Mu Yuan no longer dared to have any ideas about Mu Rong.
Because Mu Rong's heart was completely black.
Mu Yuan was removed from the Mu family. Even if Mu Rong did not take back his previous wealth, he was removed from the Mu family, which meant that he had lost the qualification to enter the upper class forever.
Moreover, without the identity of the Mu family, this also meant that the marriage between Li Jue and Mu Linlang was no longer Li Jue trying to marry Mu Linlang, but Mu Linlang trying to marry Li Jue.
Sometimes, people were so realistic.
The reason why Mu Yuan agreed to let Mu Linlang and Li Jue get engaged in the past was to let him completely control the Mu family with Li Jue's help.
When Li Jue helped him control the Mu family, he would let Mu Linlang and Li Jue break off the engagement.
It was a pity that before he could sit on the seat of the Mu family's head, he was directly overthrown by Mu Rong. Now, Mu Rong even had something on him and chased him out of the Mu family. Even if he was rich now, he had been completely removed from the upper class.
The only way he could continue to climb into the upper class was to let Mu Linlang completely control Li Jue and help him return to the upper class.
At this moment, Mu Yuan could not be more glad that he adopted Mu Linlang back then. Otherwise, how could he have such an easy time?
That night, Mu Yuan went to look for Mu Linlang and asked her to control Li Jue well.
Because the Mu family was better than the Li family in the past, Mu Linlang, who had seen more outstanding men, naturally looked down on Li Jue. But now, she was not even a member of the Mu family. Only Li Jue looked down on her. She did not dare to be picky anymore.
It was ironic. Back then, Mu Linlang looked down on Li Jue. But now, Mu Linlang could only rely on Li Jue. She even had to use any means to hold Li Jue's heart firmly in her hands.
If she wanted to tie a man down completely, marriage was undoubtedly the best choice. Moreover, Li Jue was willing to marry her.
In the past, it was Li Jue who wanted to get married, but Mu Linlang always said that she was not in good health. Even though Li Jue had already said that the two of them could not have sex, Mu Linlang always said that her self-esteem could not allow her to tolerate that she could not fulfill her duties as a wife, so she rejected Li Jue's request to marry her.
At this moment, Mu Linlang wanted to marry Li Jue because she wanted to add the title of Li Jue's wife to her name.
Even if she had been removed from the Mu family, as long as she was Li Jue's wife, no one would dare to look down on her.
With this thought in mind, Mu Linlang felt a little better about being chased out of the Mu family.
The next day, Mu Linlang implicitly proposed to Li Jue that she wanted to get married.
Of course, Mu Linlang had always been a fairy-like figure in front of Li Jue. Naturally, she would not be so vulgar as to directly propose that she wanted to get married. Mu Linlang especially implicitly and vaguely expressed her wish to get married.
After Li Jue sensed Mu Linlang's intention to get married, he immediately nodded in agreement. However, he was not as happy as he thought.
In the past, he had always thought that as long as Mu Linlang was willing to marry him, he would even cut out his heart and give it to Mu Linlang. But at this moment, he wanted to laugh.
It turned out that Mu Linlang was only one step away from marrying him.
However, after all, he had liked her for so many years. No matter what, Li Jue would not refuse to marry Mu Linlang because of this matter. However, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Since he had already agreed to marry Mu Linlang, the two of them naturally had to start preparing the things that needed to be prepared. For example, the wedding ring that would be used during the wedding.
It was naturally the best if the ring could be custom-made. However, because Mu Linlang wanted to tie Li Jue down too much, the wedding date that the two of them discussed was naturally the day that was closest to this moment. There was less than a month left until the wedding day. In addition to the miscellaneous matters, it was naturally impossible to custom-make a ring, so the two of them could only go outside to buy a diamond ring.
Of course, Li Jue was rich, so the two of them naturally went to the largest jewelry store in the city.
Mu Linlang chose a ring with the same number of carats as Li Jue's birthday.
The small and exquisite ring was worn on Mu Linlang's slender and white ring finger that did not have a single callus. It was indescribably beautiful.
Looking at Mu Linlang smiling because he helped her put on the ring, Li Jue inexplicably thought of Jiujiu's face at this moment.
Jiujiu would also smile, but she would not smile because of jewelry and other things. She would smile because he praised her for the delicious food.
Jiujiu's smile was like a clear and transparent gemstone, without any impurities, so pure that it made people want to cherish it.
However, today was a big day for him and Mu Linlang to buy a ring. Even though he was not very happy in his heart, Li Jue still brought Mu Linlang to eat.
The place where the two of them ate was the most famous couple's restaurant here, which was ordered by Li Jue's assistant.
The two of them had just arrived at the couple's restaurant and had just sat down when Li Jue saw Jiujiu sitting not far away from him.
The man sitting opposite Jiujiu was none other than Mu Rong.
At this moment, Jiu Jiu had a brilliant smile on her face. No one knew what Murong, who was sitting opposite her, said, but Jiu Jiu Jiu's eyes curved into two small crescent moons. One could not help but want to laugh with her.
At this moment, Jiujiu was like a pearl that had been wiped off the dust. She was astonishingly beautiful.
Mu Linlang, who was ordering food, asked Li Jue several times what they wanted to eat but did not get an answer. She followed Li Jue's gaze and saw a face with a bright smile that was 80% similar to her own.
The moment she saw Jiujiu, Mu Linlang realized Jiujiu's identity. Because of this, Mu Linlang's fragile heart instantly beat faster. She subconsciously covered her chest with her hand and asked Li Jue, "Who is she?"
It was not until Mu Linlang asked that Li Jue realized that his reaction had attracted Mu Linlang's attention to Jiujiu. He felt regretful and denied it at the same time. "I don't know her."
"You don't know her?"
Mu Linlang, who was not satisfied with this answer, frowned slightly. She looked at Li Jue and said tentatively, "She really looks like me."
