Chapter 14 Waiting for his prey

Mu Cangchen stopped and turned around to look at his grandfather indifferently.

Mu Wu was also speechless. He knew he didn't have much to say, but his grandson was even more taciturn than he was.

"You have already seen Dong Dong. My opinion is that you should get married as soon as possible, the rumor of your homosexuality is so pronounced that it is causing panic in the group. And a number of shareholders and directors are calling to ask me about it. The best way for you is to get married and have a child as soon as possible." Mu Wu ordered.

This was a problem that any large family could not avoid. If the heir wants to inherit the family's property and power, must have a child.

"These rumors were spread by Second Uncle and Third Uncle. It can't be that you didn't know, right?" Mu Cangchen said.

"Even if it was them, they would only give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of your lack of a woman beside you. If you have had a child, who would spread rumors?" Mu Wu.

"Grandfather has always taught me to fight back when I get beaten up, not to hide." Mu Cangchen.

"I don't need you to remind me of the ways of the world. I have received the Ye family's old patriarch's favor. If he didn't save my life then I would have died on the battlefield. You must marry his granddaughter."

Mu Cangchen's thin lips pursed into a straight line, "What if I don't want to marry her?" would you force me into the bridal chamber?"

"I heard that the woman who was shot by your third brother lost her innocence the night before she fed the fish. Who do you think would dare?" Mu Wu's words suddenly changed.

"Grandpa, are you threatening me?" Mu Cangchen.

"You know, since she's dead, I don't care where her body is. I can pretend that I don't know. In order to capture her, men of the legions have sacrificed a lot of men. I believe if we dig three feet into the ground, they will find the woman's body and grind her into a pulp to feed the fish!" Mu Wu said.

As the sound of his voice faded, the temperature of the entire study plummeted. It was as if a snowstorm had invaded the Arctic Lands.

After a moment, Mu Cangchen's voice rang out, "I can try to improve my relationship with the Ye family's granddaughter." "If your advance is good, you can consider marrying the granddaughter of the Ye family."

He opened the door and walked out of the study.

Mu Wu finally got a satisfying reply. However, his face was extremely gloomy. Even if that woman died, she would still be able to tie down Mu Cangchen.

When Mu Cangchen returned to the parlor, he saw Ye Qiaoxi standing by the window.

He walked over and stood behind her. She smells good. It was the scent he liked. "What are you thinking?"

Ye Qiaoxi's mind was completely wandering. In fact, she couldn't accept her parents treating her like this. They were both granddaughters of the Ye Family, why were her parents so biased?

"No, nothing." Can we go now?" she asked, turning to find herself standing too close to the man, almost touching him.

"Let's go after lunch." Mu Cangchen said.

Ye Qiaoxi lowered her head. She didn't want to see Ye Yudong's face. She didn't want to stay here anymore, but she didn't have the right to leave.

"Well, may I ask you something?"

"What is it?" Mu Cangchen.

"Did you save me because of Ye Yudong?" She looked up at him.

Mu Cangchen's gaze dimmed, "Why do you ask this?"

"I want to know, this is very important to me, tell me!" Ye Qiaoxi looked at Mu Cangchen helplessly. She thought about how her sister was going to marry an outstanding man like Mu Cangchen and how she was going to be sold to Boss Sun. Why were her parents so unfair to her?

Even though she hated Mu Cangchen for casually looking at her wounds, she still admitted that Mu Cangchen was a diamond-level man.

"No." Mu Cangchen said.

Ye Qiaoxi's heart thudded against her ribs. "Isn't it? She said she asked auntie to call you"

"We were at the shooting-range when my mother called me, and I came for you because you didn't come back to work at the scheduled time." Mu Cangchen.

She didn't go back to work at the fixed time, so Xu Yi was sent to catch her. Xu Yi quickly reported that Ye Dechuan had taken Ye Qiaoxi to Boss Sun's house to get married, so he personally led the team to bring her back.

Ye Qiaoxi's taut nerves finally relaxed. Mu Cangchen hadn't saved her life for Ye Yudong.

"Thank you." she said softly.

Mu Cangchen lowered his head, almost touching the earrings on Ye Qiaoxi, "How do you want to thank me?"

The man's hot breath hit Ye Qiaoxi's earring, and her heart started to itch. She looked at him and saw the vast expanse of his eyes. His eyes were like a galaxy shining with stars, bringing with it a mysterious gravity that could suck people into the depths of his eyes.

It was too close. The man's breath came into her nose, like the best mental interferon she could think about, and she just wanted to close her eyes and fall into his arms.

No! Mu Cangchen might be smiling at her, but his entire body was radiating with a dangerous aura. He was like a hibernating beast, silently waiting for his prey.

Her first love could betray her, she would no longer believe in love, and she would not let herself be easily thrown into another love.

"Um, you, how do you want me to thank you?" "Brother-in-law." She reminded herself, and him, that he was her brother-in-law, and that he should not be so close to her.

Mu Cangchen's brows sunk, "Calling me Brother-in-law?" "You have such a strong taste. Do you like playing with this tune?"

"Who likes to play such a tune? I'm not...!"

"Then what you hope is for your sister to marry into my family and become the young mistress of a Wealthy Class, and crush you forever?" Mu Cangchen.

Ye Qiaoxi's heart was stung, how could she accept it?

"CEO Mu, I would like to remind you that if you marry, you should look for another lady. Otherwise, you will regret it." She was telling the truth.

"Isn't Ye Yudong a lady?" Mu Cangchen.

"I know what I'm saying, no one believes me, but I was taken in the hotel that night, and I'm not a woman at all. I was drugged by my sister. She did it to marry you." Ye Qiaoxi's eyes were focused on the man. She might as well tell Mu Cangchen the truth of the matter. She wouldn't let Ye Yudong's treacherous scheme succeed.

But would Mu Cangchen believe her? She no longer had any confidence in herself. A lover and kin could betray her, not to mention this man she had only known for a few days.

After a moment, she did not wait for his reply. He only looked at her indifferently. His expression was calm and without emotion, as if he was not surprised by what she said, or perhaps he did not believe her.

Hehe, she was too naive, how could he believe what she said?

"I know you don't believe it." You think I didn't say." She pushed away from him.

Mu Cangchen grabbed onto Ye Qiaoxi's arm, "How do you know that I don't believe you?"
