Chapter 852: Engagement 33
As soon as Mu Qinghan finished speaking, Mu Yi suddenly raised his gaze, looking at him with extremely sharp eyes.
"Dad, what do you mean?"
Even Mu Haiyang, upon hearing his grandfather’s words, was taken aback, looking at Mu Qinghan with an incredulous expression, thinking he must have misheard.
"Grandpa?"
Old Madam Mu, listening from the side, displayed a smug smile.
"It means everything follows the marriage contract as evidence. Naturally, Chen Yao’s fiancée is Haiyun, not Tian Tian!"
"You can’t even understand something so simple, or are you pretending not to understand, wanting to go against it?"
Mu Haiyang completely ignored what Old Madam Mu said, his eyes fixed intently on Mu Qinghan, as if trying to discern something from Mu Qinghan’s face.
Mu Yi’s expression turned even more unpleasant, thinking about how the marriage, which was clearly meant for Tian Tian, suddenly turned into Haiyun’s. If he hadn’t seen the marriage contract himself, he might have thought Chen Yao’s fiancée was Haiyun.
But just a moment ago, it was Tian Tian, so how could it inexplicably become Haiyun?
It must be his mother and Shen Xin acting behind the scenes!
Thinking of this, Mu Yi’s gaze towards Mu Qinghan became even colder.
"Dad, have you forgotten the marriage contract we saw in the study that day? It clearly stated that the person engaged to Chen Yao is Tian Tian. Someone must have tampered with it for it to become Haiyun!"
"Even if we set that aside, Chen Yao clearly loves Tian Tian, but because of a marriage contract, he has to marry Haiyun. Do you think Haiyun will be happy in the future?"
As soon as Mu Yi finished speaking, Mu Haiyun’s gentle and soothing voice echoed down the hallway.
"Grandpa, Dad, as long as I can marry Chen Yao, I will be happier than anyone!"
Listening to Mu Haiyun’s words, Mu Yi was stunned.
Mu Haiyang listened, laughing in anger.
"Happier than anyone? Ha, do you think we are all fools?"
"If Chen Yao truly has feelings for you, just because you carry the Mu family’s blood, I would have let Tian Tian walk away."
"But Chen Yao and Tian Tian are clearly in love, and Tian Tian is your sister. Yet, because of that problematic marriage contract, you say you will be happier than anyone?"
"Mu Haiyun, when did the rightful heiress of the Mu Family become so hypocritical?"
In the face of Mu Haiyang’s words, Mu Haiyun remained unmoved.
She simply smiled, gracefully and naturally holding onto the stairs as she stepped down from the second floor, speaking softly as she walked.
"Grandpa, what I said is true, and between Chen Yao and me, it’s not just as you see; apart from work, there is more to it."
"If it really was just a work relationship, why would I rush back from abroad two years ago when I heard about another woman around him?"
Mu Haiyang fell silent, merely offering a cold smile at Mu Haiyun.
Mu Yi looked at his elder daughter, his expression complex.
"Haiyun, clarify yourself!"
Mu Haiyun smiled, descending from the second floor to the first, and walked slowly towards Mu Yi, her demeanor gentle and elegant.
"Dad, my feelings for Chen Yao are undeniable facts!"
"Because long ago, Grandma told me I would be Chen Yao’s fiancée, his wife. I have quietly worked hard ever since, hoping to have enough capability to stand by his side."
"I never expected Tian Tian to unexpectedly emerge and disrupt everything."
"If it weren’t for the marriage contract, do you think I, Mu Haiyun, would have kept my feelings hidden for so many years?"
