Chapter 1433 - I Only Want You (2/2)

While keeping a smile on his face, Fan Shixin thought to himself, I must teach all of them a lesson.

“Yes, Young Sir, but I must clarify that the relationship between Ms. Mu and Mr. Luo is a little complicated. So is mine and Wu Pingyang’s. It’s a long story, I’ll have to explain it to you in detail.”

Leaning back against the couch, Jin Qingyan said, “I’m all ears, shoot.”

“So what happened was…” Fan Shixin explained everything to him in detail, after which he said, “Young Sir, this concerns my lifelong happiness. You must help me out.”

Jin Qingyan stared at him from the side and said, “That’s actually no big deal. Since there’s a contract, it just means that the Mu family is practically selling Mu Wansheng off to the Luo family without sparing a single thought for her happiness. The Luo family holds the power to amend the contract terms anyway. Secondly, if they were to pay a compensatory sum to the Luo family, wouldn’t that just benefit them? They’d get to earn 20 million dollars for no rhyme or reason. Hence, there are only two solutions at hand now. One is to pay the compensatory sum and the other is to steal the contract. Which one do you think is a better solution?”

“From what I know about you, you’re probably going to support the second solution. Young Sir, what would you do if you were in my shoes?”

“If I were in your shoes…” After some thought, he answered, “The Luo family probably can’t afford to compensate me for the time and effort I wasted on them.”

“…”

“I’ll talk to the Luo family for you regarding this matter. However, you should make things clear to Wu Pingyang and the Mu family today. Don’t drag it on any longer.”

“Yes, I do intend to do that too.”

Fan Shixin felt as if a rock had been lifted off his chest completely. He was certain that Jin Qingyan would be able to resolve the issue.

He gave Wu Pingyang a call and informed her that he would be making an important announcement at the Mu family home at night and that he wanted her to be at home.

Wu Pingyang thought that he would be proposing to her and, hence, she agreed excitedly.

Little did she know what awaited her.

——

During the evening, it began pouring heavily in A City.

The air became much chillier.

Fan Shixin arrived at the Mu family home, clad in a windbreaker. He discovered that there were two other cars parked by the entrance.

He alighted from the car with an umbrella in hand, and the guards at the door greeted, “Hello, Chief Fan.”

“Yes.”

Fan Shixin overheard the sounds of men chatting when he approached the living room. He stuck his head inside to see that the Luo family members had arrived, including Luo Xing’s parents.

The sky was already turning dark when I was telling Young Sir about this, so Young Sir probably hasn’t arrived yet.

Why are the Luo family members here all of a sudden?

Fan Shixin walked into the living room.

Upon the sight of Fan Shixin, the elderly Mr. Mu greeted with a smile, “You’re here, Shixin. Hurry and have a seat.”

Fan Shixin nodded and sat down.

He was filled with an ominous feeling when he noticed that Mu Wansheng seemed to be out of sorts.

Indeed, a sullen expression formed on Fan Shixin’s face the moment he heard Mr. Mu’s next words.

“That goes without saying. Since you’re afraid that the senior Madam can’t make it ’til the wedding, we can hold it tomorrow instead. We’ll have no objections. You’ve already prepared the wedding anyway.”

Mr. Luo said, “Good that you have no objections. It’s settled, then. We’ll be taking our leave now.”

“Alright, goodbye.”

The Luo family left together.

Fan Shixin hurriedly sent Jin Qingyan a text message to describe the situation to him briefly.
