Marrying into a wealthy family, starting from breaking off the engagement

When Gu Nan left the Mu family, he stood under the big yellow poplar tree next to the yard and smoked.

Sparks from the cigarette butt flickered in the night sky. The street light happened to be broken, and the flickering light illuminated his handsome face. Only the smoke he exhaled from time to time lingered in the air.

He said nothing, but just stood there coldly, motionless.

Like a pile of wood, he looked up at the second-floor window.

There, is Mu Wan's room.

He took a puff of cigarette and exhaled.

Afterwards, Gu Nan looked at the gold watch on his wrist. Even though the paint had peeled off a little from wearing it, he still looked at it affectionately.

The time was exactly ten o'clock in the evening.

Beep, beep, beep.

The watch made an alarm sound at this time, which sounded very much like the school bell when I was a child.

At that time, Mu Wan was still following behind him.

He kept calling him "Nan Ge" all day long, which made his heart feel weak.

If it weren't for family interests, their relationship wouldn't have become so distant and their hearts wouldn't have been scattered since that incident.

If it were still the same as before, at ten o'clock, Gu Nan would call Mu Wan and coax her to take the medicine obediently.

Although the previous liver transplant surgery was successful, Mu Wan's body was still very weak.

In recent years, she often stayed up late drinking and going to bars, and her health was not as good as before.

But she continued to toss around without caring about her life.

Gu Nan really couldn't bear it anymore, so he went to Mu Wan a few days ago and hoped that she would take good care of herself.

Who knew that it would be another cold response and nothing would be accomplished.

Gu Nan was so angry that he called Mu Wan with a cold face. He stood in the autumn night, the cold wind blowing, and he kept breathing out.

The phone rang twice, and then I heard sharp quarrels and curses coming from the other end.

"You're still in the mood to go clubbing? The Qiao family is about to cancel the engagement! I see you're getting more and more disobedient as you grow older... Sigh, you're really driving me, your mother, crazy!" Duan Qianxue clutched her chest and couldn't help but scold, "Gu Nan and you grew up together, how could you turn against him so suddenly?"

Gu Nan moved his fingers, about to hang up the phone, but unexpectedly, Mu Wan's cold voice came from the other end: "Mom, who would contact their ex-boyfriend for no reason? Are you going to have another breakup?"

"You...you you you you..." Duan Qianxue was so angry that she pointed at Mu Wan's nose and cursed, "Damn it, were you really with Gu Nan back then? I'm telling you, Mu Wan, forget it now. He's your brother-in-law now!"

Mu Wan narrowed her eyes and glanced at the small red dot that flickered downstairs.

Gu Nan, smoking.

Also calling her.

She just wanted this person to give up completely.

Mu Wan sneered, her beautiful eyes flashing with cold light: "What brother-in-law? He is now pursuing Mu Qingqing relentlessly, but does Mu Qingqing like him? Haha, that woman is eager for me to marry her."

"What are you going to marry? If it's not Mu Qingqing who's going to marry him, then why are you going to marry him? The marriage contract between the Gu family and our family was decided by our grandfather's generation. Do you still want to marry Qiao Chengyu?" Duan Qianxue's voice was cold, just like those rich ladies with Hong Kong and Taiwan accents in TV dramas.

Gu Nan held the phone and listened quietly.

He raised his head and happened to see Mu Wan standing in front of the French window, seemingly looking at him.

No.

How could she possibly look at him?

Gu Nan chuckled, took a deep breath, and finally watched the smoke linger in the night before he slowly hung up the phone and turned to walk towards the parking lot.

Mu Wan watched the faint light of the fireworks dissipate and disappear until the tall figure gradually faded into the night. She turned around and looked back at Duan Qianxue, her voice affected:

"Oh, Mom, I didn't say I wouldn't marry Qiao Chengyu. The problem now is that the Qiao family postponed the wedding. Do you think Qiao Chengyu wants to break off the engagement with me because of Mu Qingqing's previous offense against the Second Young Master Qiao?"

Mu Wan blinked, and the spearhead of her words was immediately directed at her sister Mu Qingqing who was married off in place of her.

"Bad luck!" Duan Qianxue cursed, "I knew she was up to no good when she came home. Look, she's ruined your marriage, and now you're not worried, think of a solution! Don't you want to marry Qiao Chengyu?"

Mu Wan chuckled, "Mom, do I have a choice?"

"Of course! You are my daughter, I can't just watch you get into trouble. How can Gu Nan be as wealthy and powerful as Qiao Chengyu? That brat can't even be the head of the Gu family." Duan Qianxue said with some disgust.

Who knew that Mu Wan raised her eyebrows, her eyes flashed, and her cold voice seemed to be mixed with ice:

"Mom, what if I say I want to marry Qiao Yanzhi, the second young master of the Qiao family?"

Duan Qianxue was startled and reached out to knock Mu Wan on the head. "Hey, my little ancestor, what nonsense are you talking about? Isn't Qiao Chengyu good enough? He is the eldest master of the Qiao family. How can you fall in love with Qiao Yanzhi, that cold-faced devil?!"

Mu Wan shook her head and muttered, "But Qiao Chengyu is a cripple. I heard that his lower body can't move at all. Doesn't that mean he and I can't have sex? What if I get lonely? Should I cheat on him?"

"Mu Wan! You're really getting more and more disobedient as you get older!" Duan Qianxue scolded him coldly, "Even jokes should be done in moderation. Go to bed early. Tomorrow the Qiao family will send someone to take you to choose hardware."

"Hahaha... I know, Mom." Mu Wan didn't send Duan Qianxue out of the room. She looked into the distance and saw a car slowly rushing into the night.

Mu Wan narrowed her eyes. Gu Nan, what on earth are you thinking about?!

……

……

Mansion No. 8,

Qiao Xiaoxia stood in the living room holding her Barbie doll. She rubbed her eyes, turned around, walked towards the guest room, and then gently opened the door.

Looking at Angie sleeping soundly on the bed, she tiptoed into the bed.

"Uncle Anji, I'm scared..." Qiao Xiaoxia said in a baby voice as she crawled into Anji's arms, her little head bumping into his chest, her little arms hugging his waist.

"..."

Angie opened her eyes suddenly and almost thought that a snake had crawled into the bed.

"Young Master, why are you so timid?" Anji thought for a moment and patted the headboard. "Wait until you wake up tomorrow, and I'll take you to practice your courage!"

"Uncle Anji, where are you taking me?" Qiao Xiaoxia's eyes were bright, and she seemed very curious about what he was saying.

It’s definitely a fun place!

Yay! Time to go out and play again!

Anji didn't think too much about it and said mysteriously, "You'll know tomorrow."

Qiao Xiaoxia hummed, "Okay, Uncle Anji, good night..."

Qiao Xiaoxia hugged the Barbie doll, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in Anji's arms.

Anji moved her body and said, "Hey, I didn't ask you to sleep here!"

Next door,

Mu Xiaodong's life was no longer so good.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Qiao Xiaoxia had already fallen into a sweet dream, and Mu Xiaodong was still sitting at the desk, struggling with a pile of math, physics and chemistry. He looked at Qiao Yanzhi who was working with a stern face, and cursed in his heart, "Tyrant!"
