Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession-Chapter 771: The Ungrateful White-Eyed Wolf 4
"Dai Ke’er? An actress? If I remember correctly, she once had a scandal with some star back then, didn’t she?"
"Ah, no, it wasn’t a scandal; it was actually true!"
Mu Qinghan frowned even more, coughed twice, signaling to his old wife to stop talking for now.
Old Madam Mu cast a glance at him but didn’t say much else. However, the sarcasm and disdain in her eyes were unmistakable.
When she looked at Mu Haiyang, the disdain and mockery only increased, as if she was afraid Mu Haiyang wouldn’t see how little she thought of him.
Mu Yi listened, frowning, and was the first to speak up.
"Wasn’t the marriage with Dai Ke’er already canceled?"
Mu Qinghan’s sharp gaze turned to his son, his expression a mix of weariness and harshness.
"Consider it canceled, but that illegitimate daughter of the Dai Family made a huge scene, threatening suicide, insisting she wouldn’t marry anyone but Haiyang. What do you suggest we do?"
Mu Yi’s face suddenly darkened.
"Heartless and unscrupulous, Dai Kunming actually had such a daughter. It’s truly pathetic!"
Mu Qinghan’s expression remained unchanged, his eyes sharp, flashing a hint of brilliance.
"The news about Haiyang’s previous engagement to Dai Ke’er had already been suppressed, but now there’s a slight upward trend, and it’s not just Dai Ke’er. The entire Dai Family wants to continue the marriage alliance with our Mu Family."
"When Haiyang was engaged to Dai Ke’er, he was considered the eldest son of the Zhang Family, but now that he has reverted back to the Mu surname, the Dai Family won’t let go."
"They’ve even started releasing negative news, saying the Mu Family is arrogant and looks down on their daughters, simply because Haiyang regained the Mu surname, and they think his status has risen, so they want to climb higher; that’s why they want to cancel the engagement with the Dai Family!" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Mu Yi listened and spoke coldly, with a mocking smile.
"This is an attempt to put Haiyang in an impossible position and drag our Mu Family down with him!"
Mu Qinghan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping past Mu Haiyang.
"Haiyang, what do you think about this matter?"
Mu Haiyang’s handsome face showed a slight smile, a genuine smile, without disdain, without sarcasm, or any resentment, but one from the heart.
Mu Qinghan and Mu Yi looked at him, both father and son couldn’t help but frown.
Even Mu Tiantian was somewhat surprised.
They say seeing the King of Hell is easier than dealing with little devils.
The Dai Family has already started making moves in private, determined to trap her brother and the Mu Family into an impossible position and won’t stop until they reach their goal.
The Mu Family is not afraid of the Dai Family coming directly to demand explanations, but they fear these secretive manipulations by the Dai Family, using public opinion as an attack.
"How could Mu Haiyang’s wife be a woman for everyone?"
The Mu Family: "..."
A woman for everyone!
Mu Tiantian blinked, thinking about Dai Ke’er’s affair with Li Minghao, and a light flashed through her mind.
How could she forget that her brother used to work at Haitian Entertainment as a Gold Medal Agent?
All those messy, unknown relationships behind the glamorous stars; who would know better than their agents, apart from assistants?
Sometimes, agents are even the middlemen who make the arrangements.
Mu Tiantian felt completely at ease, continuing to obediently listen as the audience.
"Haiyang, is what you said true?"
Mu Yi’s face was particularly serious.
Mu Haiyang gave a light smile, his voice cheerful.
"What’s so strange about that? Just send someone to investigate, and they can find out. But since the Dai Family has already started making covert moves, it might not be easy to find those original photos."
