C35 Good Women Have Men
The engagement date between first young master of the Mu Family and Miss San of the Gu family.
This engagement banquet that shook the entire business world of Beiling was once again held in the same hotel three days later.
In order to show respect to Young Master Mu, the guests had entered the venue early. As soon as the geniuses turned dark, the entire hall was filled with guests.
Gu Anran also went to the dressing room to put on makeup with the maid accompanying her.
Outside, there was a hubbub of voices.
The people of Mu Family had arrived. From old master to every family member in the family, they were all people everyone wanted to please.
The men seized the opportunity to strengthen the various big shots in the business world.
As for the women, they had all dressed up meticulously, especially the girls. They all showed their most beautiful faces, and wanted to make a name for themselves in such a grand feast.
"I heard that not long ago, Second Lady Gu was beaten up by Miss San of the Gu family."
"What? Third Lady Gu hit Second Lady Gu? Why?"
Isn't it because older sister is too beautiful and stole younger sister's limelight? "
"It is said that Third Lady Gu is very ugly and Second Miss is simply like a celestial beauty."
"It's a pity that Miss San is the one who married Young Master Mu. With an ugly and vicious younger sister who will have power in the future, how can Second Lady Gu live well?"
"Second Miss should be protected and pitied. How can she suffer this kind of grievance?"
The men doted on the number one socialite in Beiling, Gu Weizi. Because of the rumor that Third Lady Gu beat Second Lady Gu, it was unprecedentedly high.
When Gu Anran came out, all kinds of discussions kept ringing in her ears.
"This is the Gu family's Miss San. Look, even if she put on makeup, it still can't cover her freckles."
"It's true. How could Young Master Mu be engaged to such an ugly woman? It's like a flower stuck in cow dung."
"The good cabbages were all taken by pigs!"
How indignant they were!
Gu Anran sat in the corner and played with her phone.
Those discussions rang not far from her ears, but she clearly heard them, but she did not take them seriously at all.
This kind of indifferent attitude made everyone hate it even more.
"She doesn't have any shame at all!"
"That's right! This kind of ugly and bad woman, Young Master Mu will abandon her sooner or later!"
Gu Anran opened her Weibo and saw a bunch of people cursing her to die early. There were even people who posted photos of her "promiscuous" in the past, saying that she had played with countless men.
Because of Young Master Mu, she was about to become famous.
After scrolling through Weibo for a while, she felt bored. She simply opened her small game and played by herself slowly.
Her phone suddenly rang. It was Lee Ye.
Gu Anran picked up the phone and Lee Ye said, "Young Madame, the young master wants you to go to the lounge on the second floor."
"Okay, I will come over right away." After hanging up the phone, Gu Anran ignored the resentful gazes around her and walked towards the elevator.
She had not seen Mu Zhanbei for two days. Ever since they moved into his villa that day, they had not seen each other until now.
The banquet was set to start at eight o'clock. She wondered what Young Master Mu was looking for her at this time.
Of course, Gu Anran would not think that Young Master Mu wanted to have sex with her again. What they did in the car was just an accident.
The first time was when she was drugged. The second time was when he drank too much. After he woke up, he did not even have time to avoid the ugly her. How could he approach her?
This was also good. At least, she would not repeat the tragedy of her previous life.
She had just left the elevator when she saw Lee Ye, who was guarding outside the resting room, open the door. He said to her, "Young Madame, please. The young master is waiting for you."
Gu Anran nodded and walked in.
The door was closed behind her. In the room, Mu Zhanbei sat in front of the table. There was a notebook on the table.
He was still working on his engagement day. Young Master Mu was really busy.
A few days ago, she was a little conflicted because of the accident. She finally calmed down completely.
Everything had not changed. He was still that cold hearted Young Master Mu. She should really give up.
Tonight, Mu Zhanbei was almost the same as usual. He dressed very carefully.
However, this man was irresistible. Whenever she saw him, she would feel that he was even more handsome than before.
He was simply a deadly monster!
"Young Master Mu, why are you looking for me?" Gu Anran was not very enthusiastic.
"Two days in my villa, you checked the surveillance of the villa and walked three times in the backyard at night. The third time, you still brought your wallet, ID and phone. Do you want to escape?"
Mu Zhanbei's eyes did not move away from the laptop screen. His voice was no different from usual. She could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
Gu Anran's heart skipped two beats in an instant.
Although he did not care about her in the villa, he knew what she did clearly.
Originally, she really wanted to escape. She did not want to be engaged to him at all.
However, when she thought about how all her friends and relatives were in Beiling, If she ran away, it was very likely that she would implicate them. Thus, she kept hesitating.
For the last time, she walked to the blind spot of the surveillance camera and avoided the patrolling bodyguards, but in the end, she still returned to her room dejectedly.
"You really don't want to be engaged to me?" After observing for two days, she finally believed that this girl really wasn't playing some kind of game in front of him.
From the night of the first engagement banquet, she seemed to have changed, becoming very different from before.
"If possible, I really don't want to be engaged to you." Gu Anran told the truth.
"You don't have a choice." The man's words were the same as three days ago.
Gu Anran pursed her lips. Since that was the case, why did he still ask?
Mu Zhanbei finally looked at her. After that, he casually threw a contract on the table.
"I believe that you do not wish to marry me now. Then you can consider signing this agreement."
"Agreement?" Gu Anran was stunned for a moment before she walked over and picked up the agreement. She quickly skimmed through it.
"As long as I agree to be engaged, regardless of whether we get married or not two years later, you will give me 10% of the shares of Hongyan Chain Supermarket?"
Gu Anran could not believe her eyes. 10% of the shares of the Hongyan Chain Supermarket! That meant that no matter what, she would be able to live a luxurious life for the rest of her life.
No, ten lifetimes was more than enough!
"After the engagement, we will live our separate lives and not interfere with each other. However, in front of the Mu family, we cannot reveal any flaws..."
She understood now. That was because Mu Zhanbei did not want to make Grandma sad. He was really doing it for Grandma.
However, this reward was really too high. She felt a little guilty about it.
"Since you don't want to marry me, this agreement is not a bad thing for you."
Mu Zhanbei closed the notebook and looked at her face, which seemed even more unattractive after she put on makeup.
"After the engagement, as long as you don't think about any random escape plans, help me hide it from Grandma. I promise that after the engagement, your life will not be affected."
Gu Anran was a little hesitant. She was not afraid that her life would be affected. After all, Young Master Mu was so busy that he did not care how she lived.
What she was afraid of was that the tragedy of her previous life would continue. This man was too easy to commit crimes!
No! Was she, Gu Anran, so unable to resist the temptation?
Wasn't he just a man?
Finally, she bit her lips. "Okay, I promise you!"
This was the best outcome! There was no need to run, nor was it really an engagement, killing two birds with one stone!
On the other hand, when Mu Zhanbei saw her sigh of relief, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
The agreement was made by himself, but after she knew that it was a fake engagement, not only did she not feel any sadness, she seemed to be very happy instead.
Her appearance really made him feel a little uncomfortable.
