Chapter 621 Chapter 623 Muye, Where Are You Now?

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

Leng Qihua was taken aback. "How can you say that?"

Ye Shuhua said with a wronged look, "I… I'm afraid you only care about Sister Xiang Shan. After all, she's your ex-wife. But you can have lots of girlfriends, and I'm afraid I'm just one of them. Someday you'll forget all about me."

She lowered her eyes. "Look, the moment something happened to her, she called you right away, and you rushed over without a moment's rest to take care of her. You're practically China's Best Ex-Husband. Who could compete with you?"

"I know I'm not outstanding. I'm not as good as Sister Xiang Shan. I'm clumsy at everything I do. It's only natural that you care about her. But I don't ask for much. As long as you show me a little care, I'm happy."

After hearing Ye Shuhua's words, Father Leng's face turned stern. "Shuhua, I made it very clear to you back then. I don't accept someone so quickly. What I feel for you is guilt and a desire to make it up to you. You were the one who insisted on being with me, saying you'd change me, that you could help me heal."

"I've tried my best to treat you well too. I've tried to accept you. But the reason I care about Xiang Shan isn't just because I like her. It's also because there's a child between us. As long as that child exists, the bond between her and me will never end."

Father Leng's words made Ye Shuhua's heart tremble.

That was right. Even if Leng Qihua truly didn't love Xiang Shan anymore.

There was still a child between them.

That child would ensure their paths would cross forever.

And she and Leng Qihua had no child.

Without a child, Leng Qihua would never settle down.

At the end of the day, it was all because there was no child.

Ye Shuhua suddenly clenched her fists, clearly unwilling to accept it.

Leng Qihua was completely unaware of Ye Shuhua's barely suppressed rage. His attention was entirely on the outside.

He just hoped Jiang Muye would hurry over.

In Leng Qihua's anxious wait, he finally saw a figure appear on the scene.

"He's here!" Leng Qihua called out happily.

He was even more surprised to see that apart from Jiang Muye, there was another graceful, beautiful figure.

"Xiang Shan, you…" Leng Qihua said in surprise, "Why are you here too? Aren't you supposed to be lying in a hospital bed? Shouldn't you be resting?"

Even Ye Shuhua was taken aback. She felt as if her entire body had frozen into a block of ice. She was trembling, in utter agony and despair.

Xiang Shan had been lying in bed, in that condition, and yet she could still stand here perfectly fine.

And now, from the looks of it, it was obvious she planned to come along!

No. She had struggled so hard to arrange all of this, all to establish her position. If Xiang Shan showed up, wouldn't her thunder be completely stolen?

Facing Leng Qihua's concern, Xiang Shan felt warmth in her heart.

She said to Leng Qihua, "No need to rest. I'm just about recovered now. There's nothing wrong with me. After all, it's my daughter's engagement banquet. If her mother isn't there, that would really be unacceptable."

After hearing Xiang Shan's words, Leng Qihua's eyes grew slightly moist. He nodded excitedly. "Good, good, good."

Xiang Shan gazed at Ye Shuhua with a meaningful look.

She took in all of Ye Shuhua's shock and fury.

Ye Shuhua, you green tea bitch. Bet you didn't expect me to show up here, did you?

Thought your little scheme would succeed?

Dream on! I don't have evidence of you plotting against me right now, but as long as I'm around, I'll make your life hell. Everything you want will vanish!

Xiang Shan even deliberately got into the car, pushing Ye Shuhua aside to sit next to Leng Qihua.

"I'm still a little dizzy. Let me lean on you for a bit." In front of Ye Shuhua, Xiang Shan deliberately tilted her head toward Leng Qihua's side. Though she didn't actually reach his shoulder, she was extremely close to him.

She could feel Ye Shuhua gnashing her teeth.

Ye Shuhua clenched her fists. How could she not understand that Xiang Shan was provoking her?

This slut!

Is she going to snatch away anything that belongs to me?

Looks like I really do need to use poison. Something fierce, so Xiang Shan actually takes it!

Ye Shuhua's eyes held hatred, but with Jiang Muye and Leng Qihua both present, she could only endure it.

"Sister Xiang Shan, if you're not feeling well, you should rest properly in your hospital room. Don't push yourself. It's just an engagement banquet anyway, not a wedding," Ye Shuhua said, forcing a smile.

Xiang Shan smirked inwardly.

See? Getting anxious now, aren't you?

I'm not going to let you have your way. I just want to see you hate me and be unable to do anything about it.

Xiang Shan sighed. "Actually, I'm not really uncomfortable. It's my daughter's engagement banquet. Surely you're not suggesting an outsider should attend in my place?"

Her gaze swept over Ye Shuhua. "Letting an outsider latch onto the family, and having the guests laugh at us—that wouldn't be good at all. The engagement banquet can't go on without me, right, Muye?"

She tossed the topic to Jiang Muye, who was driving. The pot had fallen from the sky, but Jiang Muye was an expert at catching pots.

He cooperated with Xiang Shan perfectly, nodding. "Exactly. After all, you carried Ruoli for nine months and gave birth to her. Ruoli only calls you Mom. Later I'll take you to buy clothes, and you'll attend in style."

Seeing Jiang Muye's stance, Ye Shuhua's expression turned very ugly.

Now not only was Leng Qihua leaning toward Xiang Shan, but even Jiang Muye was on Xiang Shan's side. What about her? Her chances of marrying into a wealthy family were hanging by a thread.

She had struggled so hard to finally be with Leng Qihua. How could she watch the tower crumble and her dream shatter?

But Ye Shuhua couldn't possibly scream at Xiang Shan in front of everyone. She could only keep up the act, laughing awkwardly. "Yes."

In reality, Ye Shuhua was burning with rage inside. She was furious and determined to repay this humiliation.

Xiang Shan went straight to a nearby shop, bought a beautiful dress, changed into it, and then got into Jiang Muye's car, heading for the engagement banquet.

There wasn't much time left for Jiang Muye now.

Only half an hour remained before the engagement began.

Meanwhile, at the hotel, Mi Lu and the others were anxious. Jiang Muye still hadn't shown up.

"Did he actually run away from the wedding? Why hasn't he appeared yet?" Mi Lu was worried. "Could he have decided not to come?"

"No, he'll definitely come." Leng Ruoli's eyes were firm. "He won't abandon me."

Leng Ruoli trusted Jiang Muye. Since she had chosen Jiang Muye to be her husband, she shouldn't doubt him.

Leng Ruoli lowered her head and stroked her belly. Although the baby wasn't kicking yet, she could fully sense the child inside her.

Mi Lu trembled. Looking at Leng Ruoli's resolute expression, she couldn't help but smirk.

"Fine. We'll wait with you. Jiang Muye will come back. He's not the kind of person to be so heartless." Mi Lu finally understood why she had lost.

Only Leng Ruoli, when everyone else was in chaos, stood unconditionally by Jiang Muye's side.

She believed in Jiang Muye with a powerful conviction.

At that moment, Leng Ruoli's phone rang.

She looked and saw it was Jiang Muye calling. Overjoyed, she answered immediately.

"Muye, where are you?" Leng Ruoli asked.
