After Rebirth, I Was Spoiled Rotten by the Domineering CEO

Chapter 2

In her previous life, Cui Xinyan kept brainwashing her in her ears, saying Leng Yan was so unfaithful, and that she was rumored to be involved with some celebrity. So much so that before she even met him, she labeled him a scumbag. When the Leng family came to discuss their marriage, she immediately refused.

At that time, Leng Yan's parents looked extremely grim. Her second aunt Mu Manrong, who was Cui Xinyan's mother, only said a few words to her, and the matter was dropped.

However, from then on, the Leng family held a grudge against the Mu family. Several times, Leng Yan deliberately targeted her, nearly causing her to lose several major deals, but fortunately, she was eventually reconciled.

Looking back now, Leng Yan wasn't really targeting her. It was obvious they couldn't bear to go her. If Leng Yan wanted revenge, the Mu Corporation would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Mu Xue's company was founded by Mu Xue's grandfather. Her grandmother had only three daughters in her lifetime. When Mu Xue's mother reached marriageable age, she married a live-in son-in-law, and thus Mu Xue was born.

Unfortunately, Mu Xue's parents died unexpectedly when she was ten years old.

Mu Manrong is Mu Xue's second aunt. Her husband died of illness years ago, and her second aunt's family brought their daughter back to live with the Mu family. Before her grandfather died, he asked her to take good care of the mother and daughter, so the two of them have always lived in this house.

As for her third aunt, after her grandfather left, she settled abroad. Now, only Mu Xue and Mu Manrong and her daughter remain in the family.

When Mu Xue came down from upstairs, everyone's eyes were on her. When Mu Manrong saw Mu Xue wearing a red dress, she was slightly taken aback.

Leng Yan, lazily sitting on the sofa, whistled in a low voice the moment he saw Mu Xue.

Yao Nan pinched Leng Yan's waist and gave him a warning look, telling him to sit properly.

Leng Yan didn't mind, but still sat up straight in silence.

Seeing Yao Nan and Leng Yan's interaction, Mu Xue wanted to laugh, but looking at Leng Yan, her eyes felt a bit sore. It was wonderful to see him again.

To cover up her loss of composure, she quickly lowered her head and silently walked toward the Leng family of three.

"Hello, Uncle and Auntie. I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

Yao Nan liked Mu Xue at first sight—noble, cool, and imposing, clearly capable of keeping her son in check.

She warmly took Mu Xue's hand and brought her to sit beside her: "Xiao Xue, I'm so happy to see you. I've wanted to come see you for a long time, but his dad and I used to travel abroad, so we never had time to visit." "

Cui Xinyan and Mu Manrong stared at Mu Xue's hand held by Yao Nan, their eyes popping out in shock. What was going on? Isn't Mu Xue the worst person who hates being touched? Any stranger within a meter of her would be too much for her. What's going on today? She actually tolerated Yao Nan holding her hand?

Mu Xue's unusual behavior early in the morning startled Cui Xinyan so much that even Mu Manrong couldn't calm down. She felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, what happened next confirmed her thoughts. Yao Nan said, "Xiaoxue, when you were very young, your mother and I agreed that when you grew up, you would marry our Xiaoyan. Now that you're grown up, why not find a time to arrange your marriage?" "

Mu Manrong and Cui Xinyan stared intently at Mu Xue, expecting to hear a negative answer from her.

But in the next moment, Mu Xue smiled brightly, then nodded slightly and softly said, "Alright, I'll follow Aunt's arrangements in everything." "

As Mu Xue finished speaking, Leng Yan, who had been sitting silently nearby, couldn't help but cough a few times.

Some people in the room were amazed, while others were delighted.

Yao Nan thought Mu Xue wouldn't agree so easily. After all, her son had a bad reputation, so it was normal for him to be disliked. Although she knew her son wasn't that kind of person, others didn't understand him either.

Hearing this, Mu Manrong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Cui Xinyan had already ruined Leng Yan's reputation so badly—how could she still agree?

At this moment, Cui Xinyan looked up, her eyes red, looking at Mu Xue: "Cousin, are you really going to agree?" Don't you want Brother Zhuang Yao anymore? Are you willing to sacrifice your own happiness for the Mu family? "

As Cui Xinyan spoke, tears nearly fell, looking as if she felt sorry for Mu Xue.

Yao Nan, who had been very happy, immediately changed her expression upon hearing Cui Xinyan's words. She looked at Cui Xinyan and said coldly, "What do you mean?" What brother Zhuang Yao? What do you mean by 'for the Mu family'? What do you want to say? "

Cui Xinyan met Yao Nan's aggressive gaze, timidly shrank her neck, then timidly shrank close to Mu Xue, choking up as she said, "Cousin, I... I just feel sorry for you. You must be afraid that after you refuse the marriage, the Leng family will deal with the Mu family, right? The person you clearly like is ..."

Before she could finish, Mu Xue interrupted her directly: "Xinyan, you must have seen too many romances and have too much imagination. With my abilities, do I really have to sacrifice my lifelong happiness just to settle for myself?" "

When Mu Xue said this, she was extremely arrogant, and for a moment, Leng Yan was so stunned that she was completely lost in thought.

"But Brother Zhuang Yao... Cui Xinyan was furious. She had clearly said before that she would never marry Leng Yan, so why did she suddenly change her mind? The most annoying part is, she's almost desperate, yet still has to play the role of a weak actress and show off her acting skills.

"Zhuang Yao has been trying to please me lately. I've already told him I'm engaged, but he's still stubborn. His character is questionable." Mu Xue said calmly.

Cui Xinyan was so speechless by Mu Xue's words that she couldn't say a word.

Mu Xue ignored her and instead turned to Yao Nan, speaking gently, "Auntie, please don't mind. My cousin also cares about me, and it's all thanks to her. All these years, she's been keeping an eye on Leng Yan for me. She's told me everything about his character." "

Mu Xue's words carried a double meaning, and Yao Nan could tell that her sister probably had other intentions.

She glanced at Cui Xinyan, a look of contempt flashing in her eyes, then completely ignored her and turned to Mu Xue, saying, "Xiaoxue, there's no rush about the wedding. You can try to get along with this guy first. If you're not satisfied, you can return the gift later." "

Leng Yan, who had never had a chance to speak, suddenly became unsettled upon hearing this: "Mom, am I really your biological son?" "

Yao Nan snorted, "If I could choose, I'd rather Xiaoxue be my daughter. Unfortunately, the one born back then was you brat." "

"Heh... That would really be a misfortune for you. Leng Yan curled his lips.

Seeing that things were mostly settled, Yao Nan stood up and said, "Honey, we still have things to take care of later, so let's go first. Xiaoyan, it's the weekend today, and you're free anyway. Just stay with Xiaoxue today." "

Leng Yan: ...

Mu Xue: ...
