Chapter 1434 - I Only Want You (1/2)

He began to feel worried after knowing that Luo Xing’s grandmother’s days were numbered. After all, the Luo family would definitely want to fulfill her wishes since she was a respected elder of their family.

“Shixin, didn’t you have something to announce? Is it regarding yours and Pingyang’s wedding?”

Fan Shixin answered, “No, Mr. Mu, Pingyang and I will never get married.”

“What… do you mean?” Mu Wansheng was the only one who did not react adversely to his shocking announcement. She was not surprised at all, unlike the rest of the Mu family members.

Fan Shixin said, “Actually, I’ve already found out about Pingyang’s affair with a man called Li Chengbin. However, I didn’t expose her immediately because I wanted to observe her for the time being. However, I discovered that her relationship with that man has advanced to a great extent, and what she had done is truly unforgivable. They’ve even checked into a hotel room together dozens of times. Although I may not be from a wealthy or elite family, I can’t tolerate adultery.”

Wu Pingyang turned as pale as a sheet, completely caught off guard. She did not expect him to find out about her affair at all. I’ve always been so careful. Just how did he find out?

“I… I’m just friends with Li Chengbin!”

Fan Shixin sneered, “I’ve already checked all the surveillance camera footage from the hotel. Why would you and your friend visit a hotel so regularly? Wu Pingyang, I didn’t only find out about this recently.”

Fuming with exasperation, Mr. Mu sprung up from his seat and glowered at Wu Pingyang. He then began hitting her with his walking stick several times, causing her to bawl loudly and run around the living room.

A sudden idea popped up in Fan Shixin’s head and he said, “I’m the only one who knows about this right now. So, Mr. Mu, you’d better marry your granddaughter off as soon as possible. Otherwise, it’s going to be difficult for her to find a husband if rumors spread.”

When the elderly Mr. Mu finally got a grip on his emotions, he pleaded, “I’m very angry that Pingyang has let you down too, but Shixin, please don’t tell anyone else about this. It’s alright if you guys break up.”

“I can keep this a secret, but on one condition. I hope you’ll agree to my request, Mr. Mu.”

“What request? Please tell me.”

“Let Wu Pingyang marry Luo Xing and allow Wansheng to marry me instead. It’d be the best of both worlds. Wansheng is so much more sensible than Pingyang. Mr. Mu, what do you think?”

Everyone was greatly taken aback.

Although the Mu family did not stand to lose anything…

“We’ll agree to it, but I doubt the Luo family will.”

“Leave this to me to handle. They’ll agree to it. Please wait for my news.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Shixin bowed a little and left.

Seeing that there were no longer any outsiders around, Mr. Mu berated, “Pingyang, you’ve really disappointed me. Shixin is such a good catch and yet you still cheated on him with another man. You’ve utterly disgraced the Mu family!”

Wu Pingyang stood rooted to the ground with her head hung low, not daring to speak at all.

“Wansheng, have you spoken to Chief Fan in private before?”

Mu Wansheng answered, “Yes. When Mother broke my legs and dumped me on the hill, Chief Fan and his subordinates were the ones who saved me and sent me to the hospital. He even helped me foot the medical bills and arranged a suitable accommodation for me. He took care of me meticulously until I recovered completely. He’s an upright and kind person. After I left and paid him back with the money that Mother had given me, we stopped contacting each other. I only met him again when he visited us with Pingyang,” Mu Wansheng explained, obviously not going to tell them that she had already gotten intimate with Fan Shixin.

Mrs. Mu said in astonishment, “No wonder he opened the door for me when I looked for you in the hospital. He even said that he didn’t know you.”

“I was the one who told Chief Fan not to inform you because I was extremely repulsed by you back then, Mother. He also felt that you didn’t deserve to be a mother because you would actually resort to breaking the legs of your own daughter. That’s why he decided to help me. I’m extremely grateful to him, but I never expected that Pingyang would cheat on such a good man. Pingyang, if you didn’t wish to marry Chief Fan, you could have just told Grandpa. Grandpa, I’m willing to marry Chief Fan. I believe the Luo family will agree to it. Let’s wait for the news tomorrow morning.”
