After the press conference, the incident had been clarified. The Mu Family and Du Family had regained their reputation, and the Sunshine New Ground Project was continuing its construction. However, although Huo Yuanming was aware that this crisis was related to him, Huo Yuanming was already prepared. He also couldn't bring out any evidence directly related to him. Du Yujie kept recalling the pain from five years ago, her thoughts of revenge becoming even more urgent.

Between Mu Lianchen and Huo Yuanming, there was a debt that had to be settled. The accidental death of his elder brother, Mu Lianxiu, was related to Huo Yuanming! Today, Huo Yuanming ate both black and white, and the Huo family business was booming. It could be said that he had eaten all the dark money.

As he was thinking about the past, his phone rang. It was from Mu's mother.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

"Chen, let's go home and eat dinner tonight. It's been a long time since we've had a meal together." Mu Lianchen agreed, arranged her work, and drove her home.

Upon entering the house, Mu Lianchen discovered that the father and daughter of the Han Family were also present.

"Chen, you're back!" It had been a long time since LianChen had gone home to eat dinner, and it had been a long time since she had seen him. Her hands could not help but hold onto Mu Lianchen excitedly as she pushed her away, her eyes indifferent and distant, "Thank you for welcoming me, eldest sister-in-law."

"Chen, must you treat me with such indifference?" Her eyes seemed to be filled with tears as she bit her lips. Her appearance was truly moving.

The dinner was sumptuous, with Han Ya'er on Mu Lianchen's left and her father on her right. After downing a cup of wine, they began to talk about the matter of the new land. Although his father had retired, he was still concerned about the development of the corporation.

"LianChen, I'm old now that your big brother is gone. The corporation is completely dependent on you now. You must be careful not to tarnish the reputation of the Mu Clan!"

"Son understands." Mu Lianchen thought that someone must have talked too much about Du Yujie to her father. Her eyes turned cold as she looked coldly at Dongfang Qing, who lowered her head in guilt.

His father asked directly, "I heard that you've been very close with Du Yujie of the Du Family recently?"

Old man Han only had one daughter, Han Ya'er, who he treasured like a treasure. Moreover, he had formed an alliance with the Mu family, so the benefits he had gained were incalculable. He was afraid that something bad might happen to the marriage.

Mu Lianchen was noncommittal. "We do have a lot of connections."

Han Ya'er immediately put on a pitiful appearance. Dongfang Qing's expression was indifferent, but her hand under the table had already clenched into a fist. She originally wanted to ignore Han Ya'er anyway, even if they were married, she still had a chance.

His father was infuriated, but pretended not to hear him on the surface.

"Huai Chen, you're almost thirty years old. A man will stand at thirty. With your career here, it's time for you to get married. You and Ya Er have already been engaged for three years. I think that it would be better for you to get married this year.

Han Tianming looked towards Mu Yuan as though he was asking for his opinion, but in reality, he was urging him to do so.

His father smiled, not saying anything as he pushed the question back to Mu Lianchen. "We won't meddle in the matters of youngsters. When they want to get married, they will naturally get married. It's better to see the opinions of Lian Chen and Ya'er!" He always felt that Han Ya'er, this future daughter-in-law, was a little too willful and not very sensible. She recently lost her son in front of the media, and his son also didn't seem to be very fond of her. Mu Yuan thought, back then he acted on his own and engaged to the Han Family, but he didn't know if it was right or wrong.

Han Ya'er felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. Of course, she wanted to marry Mu Lianchen as soon as possible. She wanted him to belong to her alone, but a girl shouldn't ask Mu Lianchen to marry her like this. He could only lower his head in understanding. "Of course I listen to Pitiful Chen."

The table full of people looked at Mu Lianchen, but she remained unmoved. She knew Han Tianming's plan was to marry the Mu Clan, and the benefits he would bring to the Han Clan.

He smiled coldly, "I should think about the matter of marriage. Right now, the group is very busy, I don't want to think about marriage at this time." Hearing this, Han Ya'er couldn't help feeling wronged. Her eyes were filled with grievance and anger. She had been betrothed to Mu Lianchen for three years, but he hadn't even touched her!

He had bought a house outside the house, but one time, she had obtained Mu Lianchen's key from his mother and wanted to give him a surprise. She had even cooked a meal for him, but he had been so angry at her after coming back that he chased her out. She knew that Lianchen would never bring a woman into that house, but wasn't she her fiancée? They were going to form a family in the future, so was she not qualified to enter?

Han Tianming felt helpless. After all, Mu Lianchen didn't say that she wouldn't marry Ya'er. If he angered her and broke the engagement, then the business of the Han Family wouldn't be as smooth as it was now. Everyone had their own thoughts during this meal, but they remained calm on the surface. They didn't talk about the engagement, so they changed the topic to the group's cooperation.

After dinner, Mu Lianchen was not in a hurry to leave. She was quietly smoking in the garden. She had been busy with matters of the new sun and new lands for the past few days. After learning about Du Yujie's background, she finally stopped.

"HuaiChen, what are you thinking about?" Dongfang Qing's gentle voice rang out, and Mu HuaiChen raised his head. She was wearing a thin nightgown, which was seductive. Her eyes were like water as she greeted him before sitting down at the side.

Disgusted, Mu Lianchen got up to leave.

"LianChen, can you chat with me? I'm very lonely." Dongfang Qing held his arm, not letting him go. He sneered, "I don't know what sister-in-law has to talk about this late at night?"

Dongfang Qing saw that Mu Lianchen had stopped walking and was overjoyed. "Huai Chen, your big brother has already been dead for five years. You don't have to call me sister-in-law anymore. Just call me Qing Er like before."

Was this woman finished?

"Since you don't want to be my sister-in-law anymore, why don't you go and get to know more outstanding youths, Miss Dongfang? Since you're still young, don't be a widow anymore. If you meet a man you like, you might as well marry him." Mu Lianchen knew what she was thinking, but she didn't say anything.

"Lianchen, you know who's in my heart. "I know you blame me. You blame me for choosing your brother. I know I was wrong, but …" Dongfang Qing was about to reminisce when Mu Lianchen interrupted her. "No, I don't blame you. I thank you for following my big brother back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so free now."

At that time, Mu Lianchen and Dongfang Qing had truly fallen in love. Mu Lianchen had even thought of marrying her, and before she could even introduce her to her family, Dongfang Qing had already known that Mu Lianxiu was the eldest son and would be the successor of the Mu Family in the future. She had seduced Mu Lianxiu, who coveted for money, and ended up marrying into the Mu Family.
