Chapter 68 was a jinx

Dongfang Yu, whom she had not seen for a long time, appeared in the living room. When he saw her, he was slightly stunned.

He smiled and shouted, "Sister-in-Law, are you back from school?"

Mu Ru was surprised. Just as she was about to answer Dongfang Yu's question, she saw Dongfang Yingwu on the sofa, so she greeted him politely.

"Hello, Second Uncle!" she said.

"First Young Madam," Dongfang Yingwu responded.

He nodded casually at Mu Ru.

He said, "I heard from Mei that a man to whom you have been engaged in the past came looking for you, and that he even wanted to take you back with him. Does he belittle the Dongfang family? Who is that man? Tell me his name."

Dongfang Yu answered for Mu Ru. "That man is the CEO of Singapore's Nangong Group, Nangong Xun."

Dongfang Yu answered his uncle in a mocking tone.

"Second Uncle, don't tell me you want to stand up for my brother and my sister-in-law's family and teach Nangong Xun a lesson?"

Dongfang Yingwu was slightly stunned with what Dongfang Yu said. He growled angrily out of embarrassment.

He said, "What's there to be afraid of about Nangong Xun? Huh? Don't tell me we will return the woman we've already obtained? Ah Mo isn't that useless, right? If that's the case, it would be a disgrace to the Dongfang family."

"My brother didn't say that he wanted to send Mu Ru back," Dongfang Jun interjected.

Dongfang Jun just happened to walk in.

He added, "My brother said half a month ago that Mu Ru is his wife, not Nangong Xun's. He told him that he could look for his fiancee somewhere else. He said that Xi Yuancheng is to blame for the confusion, not him."

"Yes, what Ah Mo did was right. That is the kind of backbone the Dongfang family should have," Dongfang Yingwu said.

Dongfang Yingwu praised Dongfang Mo's decision. He then looked at Dongfang Jun.

He said, "And you, Ah Jun...not only do you have to study hard, but you also have to learn from your brother. It is always more important to uphold the honor and integrity of the Dongfang family."

Mu Ru quietly went upstairs while Dongfang Yingwu was lecturing Dongfang Jun.

Their discussions had nothing to do with her, and they didn't care about her. Most of the time, they treated her like she didn't exist.

By dinnertime, Dongfang Yu was already gone, and Dongfang Mo was nowhere to be found either. Mu Ru found it strange and realized that Dongfang Mo was quite mysterious.

Dongfang Mei wore a dark expression as she grumbled to Dongfang Jun at the dining table.

"The Xi family didn't keep their engagement and let their jinx daughter marry into the Dongfang family. Now that they're in trouble, how can they have the nerve to propose another marriage to the Dongfang family through Ah Yu. It's too much wishful thinking. They are so proud that they think they can do anything they want," Dongfang Mei told Ah Jun.

Mu Ru lowered her head and continued to eat silently. She knew that Dongfang Mei wanted Mu Ru to hear that she was a jinx. Besides, the Dongfang family had been experiencing a lot of misfortunes after her marriage to Dongfang Mo.

Even their big client, Nangong Xun, had cut ties with the Dongfang Group, and it was said that Nanong Xun had refused to pay them the money he owed them.

"Mother, if you talk about the Xi family, don't include Mu Ru. Don't drag her into this. What does it have to do with her?" Dongfang Jun said.

Dongfang Jun couldn't help but defend Mu Ru, who remained silent.

"Ah Jun, didn't I tell you that Mu Ru is your sister-in-law?" Dongfang Mei said sternly.

Dongfang Mei sounded more stern and serious.

"Only your big brother and I can call Mu Ru by her name. Both you and Ah Yu have to call her Sister-in-Law."
