The aloof beauty always has weak legs; the crazy boss is too ruthless.

Chapter 74 Dissolution of Engagement
Mu Sen had just lain down with Lu Siqi when he received a call from his father, Lin Weidong.

He got up unhappily, and seeing that Lu Siqi had also opened her eyes, he raised his hand and gently stroked her face, "You go to sleep first, you don't need to wait for me."

He got out of bed and went to the living room to answer his father's call. He learned that he was going to invite Yu Chengjian to dinner the next day. Regardless of whether the marriage with the Yu family would go through or not, as a junior, he had to show up as a matter of etiquette since he had returned.

Mu Sen casually asked, "Where is it located? What time does the dinner start?"

Upon hearing that it was a hotel under the Lin family's umbrella, and that it would take more than 40 minutes to drive there, they asked, "Why choose such a far place? Isn't it perfectly fine to eat at home?"

Lin Weidong made an excuse: "Your Uncle Yu said he wants to see the sea."

"..."

Oh well, it's just having a meal with someone; he can handle that.

After agreeing, Mu Sen went upstairs and saw that Lu Siqi was already asleep. He had taken her shopping all day and kept her up very late last night, so she needed to get some rest.

Otherwise, I would really become the teddy bear she sees me as someone who is always "456".

……

The next day.

Mu Sen went with his father and two uncles to the Lin family's hotel in Linhai.

Yu Chengjian and his wife Hua Wanrou have been staying here for the past few days.

Although Hua Wanrou is almost 60 years old, she takes good care of herself and is disciplined in her diet, so she is as thin as a young girl.

With her curvaceous figure, she looks especially elegant and refined in a traditional Chinese cheongsam. Even without makeup, only wearing light-colored lipstick, her outstanding presence makes passersby stop and take a second look.

"Mom." A soft, gentle voice rang out.

Turning around, I saw that my youngest daughter, Yu Nian, had already arrived at the hotel.

Yu Nian had taken a flight from last night to Hong Kong, and she was still wearing her clothes and hadn't put on makeup. She asked anxiously, "Lin Chen hasn't arrived yet, has he?"

"It'll be there soon. They just called and said it's on its way."

"Then I'll go upstairs and change my clothes first." Yu Nian looked very fashionable in her trendy outfit, with her dark brown curly hair, baseball cap, and sunglasses, exuding a cool and stylish vibe.

Twenty minutes later, she had changed into a fairy-like dress with a more ladylike style, and she had also put her long hair up with a hair clip, leaving only a few strands of hair by her ears, looking lazy yet intellectual.

"Mom, is it okay for me to dress like this?" She twirled around, her usually serene face showing a rare excitement.

Hua Wanrou knew that her daughter only had eyes for her fiancé Lin Chen, but as a mother, she also knew very well that the marriage was arranged by Old Master Lin, and Lin Chen had not agreed to it.

Not wanting her daughter to place her hopes on someone else, she could only ask indirectly, "Niannian, do you have any close male friends at school?"

“The male teachers at our school are all a bit neurotic, I can’t get along with them.” Yu Nian shook her head, looked out of the hall, and saw several black Cullinans driving towards them. She guessed that they were the Lin family. “Mom, it must be Uncle Lin and the others.”

Seeing how much her daughter wanted to see Lin Chen, Hua Wanrou didn't say anything more.

In particular, last night I heard my husband Yu Chengjian say that when Lin Chen went back to the Lin family this time, he actually brought a girl to see Grandpa Lin. That girl... looks like Lu Siqi, the little granddaughter of the Lu family in Beicheng who can fly airplanes.

……

Lin.

Lu Siqi was admiring the flowers in the garden when she saw the row of blooming hydrangeas. She really admired Meng Xianjin's ability to grow flowers, because even pothos could be killed by her... She took out her phone and took a picture of the beautiful garden.

Just after the filming was finished, Meng Xianjin came over: "Siqi, one of my flower-loving friends is here today. Why don't you come over with me for some tea? She has a lot of experience in growing flowers, so you can listen in and learn something."

"Thank you, Auntie." Lu Siqi never knew how to refuse, even though she felt that she wouldn't understand the other person's experience in growing flowers, she still went over.

Following Meng Xianjin to the tea room, they saw a man in a white shirt standing in the courtyard making a phone call.

Seemingly sensing the gaze at the doorway, Sheng Huai'an glanced towards it and, upon seeing that it was indeed Lu Siqi, the youngest granddaughter of the Lu family who could fly airplanes, immediately told his comrade on the phone that he had other matters to attend to.

After the call ended, Sheng Huai'an walked towards Lu Siqi and introduced himself to her: "Hello, Miss Lu, I am Sheng Huai'an. I met you once before in the Beicheng Special Zone. It's nice to see you again in Gangcheng."

Knowing that Sheng Huai'an had been an air force pilot, perhaps because of the light in his eyes and his friendly smile, Lu Siqi felt no aversion at all and reached out to shake his hand: "Just call me Siqi."

Seeing that the two of them were having a good chat, Meng Xianjin didn't disturb them. After entering the tea room, she said to them, "The Lin family's courtyard is big, you can wander around. We two women are talking about flower cultivation knowledge, I guess you young people won't like it."

……

At the hotel, the moment Mu Sen saw Yu Nian, he realized that he had been deceived by his father, Lin Weidong.

He barely spoke during the meal until he couldn't stand the atmosphere any longer. Without giving anyone any face, he said, "I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first. Uncles, please continue chatting. We'll get together again another day."

After saying that, he got up to leave.

Yu Nian stood up at this moment, "Brother Lin, where are you going? Why don't I go with you?"

"I'm going home. I played cards with my friends until late last night and need to catch up on my sleep." He deliberately portrayed himself as a man addicted to playing cards, just so that the Yu family would take the initiative to dissolve the engagement.

What Grandpa cares about most is the long-standing friendship between the two families. If the Lin family takes the initiative to sever this marriage ties, Grandpa will definitely be unhappy.

Since the Lin family isn't bringing it up, we'll have to force the Yu family to speak.

Yu Nian still followed, saying, "I just arrived in Gangcheng and haven't visited Aunt Lin yet. I brought her a gift this time, but I don't know if she'll like it."

Mu Sen ignored him and got into the passenger seat without even opening the door for her.

After getting into the car, Yu Nian deliberately made small talk, "Brother Lin, I heard from Yanran that you helped her sign a contract with Sheng Tang International Film & Television? Sheng Tang is going to treat her as a key artist and send her to South Korea for intensive training?"

"Hmm." Mu Sen kept his head down, not even looking up, and texted Lu Siqi on his phone: [Where are you? Have you had lunch?]

After sending the message, I waited for several minutes without receiving a reply.

Unable to bear Yu Nian's constant attempts to start a conversation behind him, he simply dialed Lu Siqi's number. When she answered, he heard violin music coming from her end...

He asked directly, "Where?"

Lu Siqi was having dinner with Sheng Huai'an at a Western restaurant not far from the Lin family's house, where a violinist was playing music for everyone to request.

Sheng Huai'an requested a song for her called "Dedicated to Alice".

He was engrossed in listening when Mu Sen's phone call interrupted him. He could only pick up his phone and signal to Sheng Huai'an that he needed to take the call first.

Once they reached the smoking area, Lu Siqi spoke in a low voice, "I'm having dinner with friends outside."
