Mu Ronyao pursed her lips and looked up at her.
"Xinyu, I want to cancel the engagement with Lin Chengyi."
"What?!"
Xu Xinyu was startled!
You know, her friend loved Lin Chengyi so much that she regarded him as the apple of her eye! Whenever she said something bad about him, Mu Ronyao would be angry with her for half a day!
Now what? Cancel the engagement?! Aren't they going to have a wedding in a month?!
Xu Xinyu had a lot of questions to ask, but seeing Mu Ronyao's eyes turn red, she couldn't bring herself to speak.
Her eyes turned, thinking that it would be better to wait for her friend to explain first…
Mu Ronyao was silent for a while before explaining to her.
She recounted what had happened before, and Xu Xinyu gritted her teeth in anger.
"These scumbags! I knew they weren't good people!"
When Mu Ronyao wanted to be with Lin Chengyi in the first place, Xu Xinyu had tried to stop her.
But at that time, Mu Ronyao was infatuated with Lin Chengyi and refused to break up no matter what.
Xu Xinyu had quarreled with her and even threatened to end their friendship, but Mu Ronyao still refused to give in.
It dragged on until today, and Xu Xinyu gave up, thinking that as long as her friend was happy but she never expected such a thing to happen!
Xu Xinyu fiercely cut a piece of steak and chewed it vigorously!
Thinking of what Mu Ronyao had done for Lin Chengyi, she felt that it was not worth it!
Seeing the expression on her friend's face, Mu Ronyao knew that she was genuinely angry and upset for her. It warmed her heart.
Mu Ronyao had only told her about Lin Chengyi and Qin Weiying, but not about her various entanglements with Ye Xuanchen.
"Don't be angry first. Help me think about what to do next." Mu Ronyao poured a glass of water for Xu Xinyu.
"You're the most resourceful, right?"
Xu Xinyu put down her knife and fork, looked at Mu Ronyao, and sighed.
"You always make me worry."
There was no unnecessary chatter, no scolding her for not knowing people well only genuine concern.
Mu Ronyao's eyes turned slightly red.
Suppressing her tears, she smiled.
"There's nothing I can do. You're my best friend, after all."
Xu Xinyu reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"If the Mu family didn't abandon you, you wouldn't have to…"
She couldn't continue.
"The Mu family was ruined because of me this time," Mu Ronyao smiled bitterly.
"My father doesn't even recognize me anymore."
Xu Xinyu patted her hand.
"Don't worry. Uncle Mu is good to you. He was just angry."
Mu Ronyao nodded, but she didn't really think so.
She was just a foster daughter of the Mu family, and except for Mu Kuohai, everyone else probably wished she was dead.
"Or let my brother handle it?" Xu Xinyu thought for a moment.
"He's pretty good at intimidating people!"
Mu Ronyao quickly shook her head.
"No way! If Brother Xu gets involved, things will only get more complicated!"
Xu Xinyu sighed.
"Then wait. I'll think of a way! My brother knows some good people who can support you!"
Mu Ronyao couldn't refuse, so she accompanied Xu Xinyu to finish the meal before going home separately.
Back at the hotel, lying on the bed, Mu Ronyao felt heavy-hearted.
As she tossed and turned, Ye Xuanchen's words suddenly flashed through her mind.
"If Miss Mu wants to retaliate against them, we can work together."
His words lingered in her ears like a spell.
Could she…
After tossing all night, Mu Ronyao didn't sleep well.
In the morning, seeing the dark circles under her eyes, she sighed.
"Is it worth it to make myself look so haggard for that piece of trash?" she muttered.
Just as she was about to change, her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
"A harassing call so early in the morning what a lunatic."
She hung up.
Moments later, the door clicked.
"Who is it?!"
No answer.
Then...
She screamed.
"How did you get here?!"
Ye Xuanchen stood silently at the door, hands in his pockets, black eyes calm and deep.
"Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked.
Mu Ronyao was furious.
"Why should I answer your call? Who are you to me?"
"I worry."
Her face flushed.
Ye Xuanchen stepped forward, lifted her chin slightly.
"Mu Ronyao, I am very satisfied."
"Satisfied with what?" she asked blankly.
"No matter where you are," he said softly,
"I am satisfied."
