Chapter 171: Daring to Go Against the Murong Family

He knew very well what his son was like. Although he usually behaved like a hooligan, Cheng Jie had never lied to him.

“Take advantage of the fact that she’s not married yet. I hope to hear good news next time,” Cheng Shu instructed him.

Cheng Jie nodded. “1 promise to make Murong Qiao fall for me.”

Hearing his son’s firm tone, Cheng Shu didn’t say anything else and was satisfied with Cheng Jie’s guarantee.

The two of them then talked about something else, but Luo Wanbai, who was hiding in the corner, was not in the mood to listen.

Her face was pale. She covered her mouth tightly and didn’t dare to cry, afraid that the two of them would discover her existence.

However, tears fell silently from the corners of her eyes, carrying a scorching temperature and emotions that couldn’t be stopped.

Luo Wanbai didn’t expect Cheng Shu to criticize her to the point of being useless.

Suppressing her sadness, she left the eavesdropping corner and returned to the room that Cheng Jie had told her to wait in. After locking the door, she finally couldn’t help but cry in a heart wrenching manner.

“Why…” Her voice trembled, and her heart ached terribly.

Cheng Jie had always been very good to her, so good that she felt that he was sincere to her.

Although the difference between the two of them was huge, she had always been by Cheng Jie’s side.

She had always believed in Cheng Jie and believed that he was good to her. His refined appearance wasn’t a lie. However, after eavesdropping on the conversation between the father and son and hearing Cheng Jie say that he was just playing with her, her heart couldn’t help but ache.

How could he let her down?

Until now, she still thought that Cheng Jie liked her. “He must have been forced to say those words.”

She suppressed the remaining rationality in her heart and thought about how Cheng Jie liked her so much. How could he really marry Murong Qiao?

It must be Cheng Shu’s fault, and Murong Qiao’s fault!

She gradually understood. If it wasn’t for his father’s request and Murong Qiao’s appearance, how could Cheng Jie have said those words?

Cheng Jie must have been forced to do such a thing to seduce Murong Qiao. Cheng Jie must be innocent.

“Wanbai, I’m back.” Cheng Jie’s voice sounded outside the door.

Luo Wanbai suddenly came back to her senses. She wiped her tears and touched up her makeup in front of the mirror to make herself look no different from before. Then, she opened the door and smiled ingratiatingly.

“You’re here.” Her voice was sweet as usual, and Cheng Jie didn’t notice anything wrong as he brought her back to the banquet.

There were many people who had the same thoughts as Cheng Shu. After all, Murong Qiao’s ident.i.ty was special. She was like a piece of meat with a strong, tempting smell, attracting the attention of the wolves.

“I didn’t expect Young Master Huo to be so lucky to be able to save the damsel in distress. If you ask me, he’s really lucky.”

“At least he has the luck. We can’t even match up.”

“That’s true. Besides, the Huo family isn’t something we can afford to offend. Even if we want to s.n.a.t.c.h her away, we have to see if we’re qualified.”

The rich heirs were jealous of Huo Yichen for saving Murong Qiao. They wished that they could save Murong Qiao, while the heiresses were envious and jealous of Murong Qiao. They didn’t expect her to be saved by Young Master Huo. It was simply a blessing to be saved by him.

Regarding the matter of riding a horse, Huo Yichen’s leap had also left a mark in Murong Chuan’s heart. If he was still suspicious before, he could now clearly tell that Huo Yichen was definitely close to his Little Sister.

Especially the way he looked at Murong Qiao at that time. Murong Chuan, who was also a man, knew very well what it meant.

He noted down the other party’s name and called Murong Chen to ask about the situation.

“Huo Yichen?” Murong Chen thought for a moment. “There’s such a person.

Back then, he was the one who saved Qiaoqiao when she was in danger.”

“Did something happen?” Murong Chen asked.

He knew his brothers’ personalities very well. Murong Chuan didn’t seem like someone who would ask questions for no reason. Since he had asked him about Huo Yichen, something must have happened.

Murong Chuan didn’t reply. Instead, he sent the photos he had taken to Murong Chen.

In the photo, Huo Yichen was in the position of a protector. He held Murong Qiao tightly in his arms, and the intimacy between the two of them made Murong Chen feel very uncomfortable.

Murong Chen stared at the photo. Countless ways to make people disappear instantly appeared in his mind.

“The boy has guts…” Murong Chen gritted his teeth as if he wanted to kill Huo Yichen. “You dare to go against the Murong Family!”

He really didn’t expect Huo Yichen to have designs on his Little Sister.

Murong Chen’s gaze was so hot that he wanted to burn through the photo, especially when he saw Huo Yichen’s arm around Murong Qiao’s waist.

What the f*ck.

He didn’t expect these two people to date right under his nose!

Of course, it wasn’t just the people at the banquet who knew about this. The Huo family also found out that Huo Yichen had saved Murong Qiao. They were both surprised and amused. They didn’t expect Huo Yichen to have some brains.

Huo Yichen’s father even called him.

“Your abilities are a little beyond my expectations.” As soon as he picked up the call, the man’s calm and happy voice entered Huo Yichen’s ears.

“You did a good job saving the Murong family’s daughter.” It was rare for him to be nice to Huo Yichen, and it was because his son had shown his value. “If you’re interested in her, I can allow you to marry her.”

In just a few sentences, Huo Yichen could almost feel his father’s ambition.

The corners of Huo Yichen’s mouth twitched silently. He sneered and said nothing.

He had only been the heir that was picked up halfway. His so-called blood-related father had never paid so much attention to him before this.

Now that he knew that he was close to Murong Qiao, he called him. Unfortunately, he didn’t even ask about his son. He only asked him to please Murong Qiao.

“If Murong Qiao marries over, our Huo family will naturally turn into a tiger with wings.” The tone on the other end of the phone was pleasant.

The meaning between the lines was that he already regarded Murong Qiao as the daughter-in-law of the Huo family.

If they could build a relations.h.i.+p with the Murong Family, the Huo Family would be strengthened greatly. Joining forces with Shengjing Group was simply a beneficial business move.

The Murong Family’s current momentum was like the sun in the sky. Be it their development or prospects, they were both bright and beautiful. The company’s future prosperity was already something everyone had an unspoken mutual understanding about.

“She’s the only descendant of the Murong family. 1 remember that you’re also studying at Hui University. You should cultivate your relations.h.i.+p with her. If it really doesn’t work out, impregnate her before marriage to force her into the Huo family…”

Huo Yichen pressed the mute b.u.t.ton and didn’t intend to continue listening.

He looked at the phone screen. The cover was Murong Qiao’s riding outfit. Huo Yichen had secretly taken it when Murong Qiao wasn’t paying attention and set it as a background.

“Qiaoqiao,” Huo Yichen murmured softly, his gaze fixed on Murong Qiao’s bright and clear eyes for a long time.

He was not interested in what the Huo family wanted from Murong Qiao at all, and he ignored what his father said.

Huo Yichen had no kins.h.i.+p with the Huo family anyway. The only family member he had in his heart was his mother, who had long pa.s.sed away.

He returned to the Huo family to be worthy of Murong Qiao, not to help his father carry out his grand plan..
