Chapter 463: Worthy of the Man I Chose

Jiang Muye could no longer comprehend this woman's imagination.

Was this a distortion of human nature, or a loss of morality?

Forget it. He didn't want to figure it out. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible. He didn't want to keep tangling with this old woman any longer.

Just as Jiang Muye unconsciously prepared to go find Leng Ruoli, he noticed a graceful, slender figure appear behind him.

"Mom, why are you here!"

That familiar voice made Jiang Muye's heart tremble fiercely.

There was no mistaking the speaker—it was his fiancée, Leng Ruoli!

Jiang Muye immediately turned around and stared at Leng Ruoli in astonishment. "What did you say? Mom?"

Leng Ruoli nodded and stepped forward with a smile. "That's right. This is my mom."

She walked up and took Xiang Shan's wrist. "Mom, why are you here?"

Xiang Shan was also a bit taken aback. "I was about to ask you the same thing. And how do you know him?"

Leng Ruoli looked somewhat embarrassed. "I originally wanted the two of you to meet, but I never imagined it would be such a coincidence—the two of you actually ran into each other here. That's fine too. Let me introduce you."

Leng Ruoli continued, "Mom, this is my fiancé Jiang Muye. He's also the person I mentioned to you that I want to marry."

She then turned to Jiang Muye. "This is my mom. Haven't you always wanted to meet her? Now you have."

Jiang Muye felt like he'd been struck by a critical blow.

Was the heavens deliberately toying with him? Earlier, when he heard Xiang Shan say she was going to meet her son-in-law that evening, he'd thought it was too much of a coincidence. He had never imagined such an absurd thing was waiting for him.

His mother-in-law actually liked him? And wanted to pursue him?!

Xiang Shan was stunned, her face extremely ugly.

She simply couldn't be sure of all this, but Leng Ruoli had already affectionately thrown herself into Jiang Muye's arms.

That kind of behavior couldn't be faked by anyone other than a real couple.

So this was just too absurd—her love rival was actually her own daughter?

She had given birth to a love rival to steal her man?

While Xiang Shan's head was spinning, Jiang Muye awkwardly asked Leng Ruoli, "You're not joking, are you? How could it possibly be her?"

"How could it not be? Do you two know each other?" Leng Ruoli looked at the atmosphere between Jiang Muye and her mommy and felt very confused.

This didn't look like a first meeting. It seemed like they had met before.

But Jiang Muye seemed to have never mentioned this to her before.

While Leng Ruoli was feeling depressed, Jiang Muye revealed a look of helplessness and regret. "Ah!"

What was he supposed to do now? This was too awkward.

His mother-in-law liked him, and her daughter liked him too. This was the rhythm of an ethics drama!

If this were a TV show, it would definitely end with him having both mother and daughter, but Jiang Muye wasn't that perverted, and he was very devoted.

The current problem was how to make his mother-in-law give up on him while still agreeing to let him date Leng Ruoli.

While Jiang Muye was fretting, a resolute voice rang out. "I oppose this marriage."

Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli looked at Xiang Shan in surprise.

"Why, Mom? You agreed before," Leng Ruoli said anxiously.

It had already been a done deal, so how could she change her mind so quickly?

"Anyone is fine, but not him." Xiang Shan gave Jiang Muye a resentful glance and said to Leng Ruoli, "Before is before, now is now. I think the two of you are especially unsuitable."

After saying that, Xiang Shan turned to leave.

Leng Ruoli was extremely uneasy. "What on earth is going on?"

She was so anxious she was about to cry.

She had originally planned to arrange for the two of them to meet that evening and have a good talk about the marriage, but she had never imagined something like this would happen.

Jiang Muye soothed Leng Ruoli's emotions. "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

He immediately ran forward and blocked Xiang Shan's path, saying coldly, "Auntie, if you're going to ruin your daughter's happiness because of your own selfish desires, then that's being a bit too selfish."

Xiang Shan looked at Jiang Muye expressionlessly. "My family affairs aren't for an outsider to comment on. Besides, I'm not exactly a noble person to begin with."

Xiang Shan didn't need Jiang Muye specifically, but she absolutely couldn't let her own daughter need Jiang Muye either.

She had pursued Jiang Muye and broken through that thin veil. It was no longer just a future mother-in-law-and-son-in-law relationship—it could very easily misfire.

And her daughter would be caught in the middle, torn both ways. This would become a thorn between them. If a problem arose someday, the conflict would only deepen.

For her daughter's marriage, it would be nothing but harmful.

If that was the case, Xiang Shan would rather not let those troubles happen. Besides, she really did find Jiang Muye interesting, and she had no intention of backing off.

Seeing Xiang Shan draw the relationship so clearly, Jiang Muye's eyes turned cold. As Xiang Shan pressed the elevator button and prepared to enter, he unconsciously grabbed her wrist.

"Let's talk in private." Jiang Muye pulled Xiang Shan into the elevator, and the doors closed.

Leng Ruoli was shocked. What had happened?

And her fiancé and her mommy were in the same elevator. They were probably not about to start fighting, were they?

While Leng Ruoli was worrying, Jiang Muye and Xiang Shan stood face to face in the cramped elevator.

"No matter what you talk to me about, I won't agree to you two being together. No one can change the decision I've made," Xiang Shan said expressionlessly as she looked at Jiang Muye.

She could already imagine Jiang Muye's torrent of abuse, or his pleading.

But there was none of that.

Jiang Muye was very calm—eerily calm, in fact.

This made Xiang Shan feel a bit confused.

"Who wants your agreement?"

After that resolute, cold voice rang out, Xiang Shan was stunned.

Jiang Muye raised his head and looked at Xiang Shan coldly. "I'm a selfish person too. I just want to fight for my own happiness. If you won't agree, then I'll take matters into my own hands and take Leng Ruoli to a happy country, where we can live freely."

"You're going to elope?" Xiang Shan was astonished.

"No need to elope. I'll just take her to live happily right under your nose. Our love doesn't need a third person to gossip about it. Even if you're her mother, if you can't change your mind, then we'll change the outcome." Jiang Muye had already thought it through very clearly. He couldn't do without Leng Ruoli.

No one could replace Leng Ruoli as his marriage partner.

From beginning to end, the only person he had wanted to marry was Leng Ruoli.

After Jiang Muye said those sharp words, Xiang Shan's breathing became uneven.

Jiang Muye was already prepared to accept Xiang Shan's curses, even her fists and kicks. However, Xiang Shan gazed at him with adoration. "He really is the man I set my sights on."

Jiang Muye: "???"
