Insufficient balance

  "Zi Xuan, how did you come back?"

  Mo Heng Shui's words made Ye Yizhe suddenly enlightened.

  Is this his fiancée?

  Ye Yizhe stared at the woman with a somewhat dazed gaze, or it could be said that he was scared silly.

  The woman in front of her had a pointed chin, small and delicate lips, a refined and beautiful mouth shape, a white and tender melon-seed-shaped face, no more than twenty years old, wearing a lake-blue silk dress, standing at the door, a pair of plump and slender legs, wearing a pair of light yellow pointed flat shoes, as cute as a contented cat, with snow-white skin texture exposed on her arms.

  Yi Zhe also noticed her scallion-like fingertips, which at this moment seemed to be pinched out of blood due to the clenched fists, a pair of eyes full of anger stared tightly at Yi Zhe.

  She is furious!

  Ye Yizhe felt her emotions at a glance, and for some reason, his heart also skipped a beat, as if he had already sensed the anger that had been vented onto him.

  "How can I not come back?" Mu Zi Xuan's voice trembled slightly, obviously due to anger, but was extremely gentle and moving. Just this voice made Ye Yi Zhe's heart skip a few beats. She coldly laughed and said, "It was just one sentence from you all that directed my marriage towards an unrelated stranger, then another sentence from you all that stripped away my marriage. From start to finish, I didn't know anything about it, nor did I have any right to choose. Grandfather, I'd like to ask, what is my marriage? A tool for people to trample on?"

  Only Mu Heng saw a bitter smile on his face, he also knew that this matter was not fair to her, especially since their transaction had been heard by her. If he had secretly told her later, she might not have reacted at all. Now everything has been disrupted by her premature return.

  Ye Yizhe stepped forward and said: "Miss Mu, all of this is because of me, it has nothing to do with Old Master Mu."

  Mu Zi Xuan looked up, disdainfully glanced at him and said: "Originally it was your problem, don't know where this wild kid suddenly ran out from, thinking of being a pretty boy has driven you crazy, actually dared to think of me, don't know if there's something wrong with your brain or if our Mu family has some kind of problem."

  "Shut up!" Mu Hengshui's voice was also filled with anger, "This is something I decided on, what does it have to do with him? He came all the way to Jiangzhou with good intentions, not wanting to delay your future, just to cancel this marriage!"

  "I, Mu Zi Xuan!" Mu Zi Xuan said word by word, "No need for anyone's sympathy! And even if he doesn't come to apologize, I won't marry him! Marriage is originally a mutual agreement, and it's not like I can be forced into marrying him against my will. Besides, this kind of person who wants to eat swan meat but is actually just a toad, I've seen many of them before."

  "Hehe, miss." Ye Yizhe bowed to her and made a slight bow. He had seen that this Mu family's young lady was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined, and he couldn't help but feel a little fortunate that the marriage had already been called off. If not, even if her family had a lot of money, if he really married her, his life after marriage would be unbearable, only to be described as miserable. Such an arrogant woman, he, who was already proud, couldn't take it.

  "Miss Mu, I'm calling off the wedding simply because I think love should be free, not bound by this kind of outdated engagement. It has nothing to do with anything else. Even if I didn't come to call off the wedding, it wouldn't be because I was after something from your family. To be blunt, although your family is wealthy and influential, these things aren't even on my mind!"

  As he spoke, Ye Yizhe's words also carried a hint of anger. The clay Bodhisattva still had three points of fire, and with good intentions, he came to cancel the engagement, not to seek humiliation. If it weren't for Mu Hengshui's sake, Ye Yizhe would have slapped him long ago, and wouldn't be speaking so politely now.

  "Wow, wow, wow." Mu Zi Xuan looked at Ye Yi Zhe as if she was seeing him for the first time, gazing straight into his eyes and sizing him up carefully. She then clicked her tongue a few times and said, "Someone like you, a country bumpkin, probably hasn't even heard of the Mu family. You think you're better than those street urchins just because you have some semblance of dignity? And yet you dare to be so arrogant here?"

  "Take this, for instance," said Mu Zi Xuan, snatching off the necklace that looked like it was worth a fortune from her neck and tossing it onto the floor in front of Ye Yi Zhe: "Let's not mention anything else. I just casually threw away something worth hundreds of millions. Do you dare? You still think you have the power to come here and shout? The Mu family is not a place where you can come and go as you please. Do you think I couldn't see your intentions when you came to cancel the engagement with fake kindness? Isn't it just that you want to swindle some money? Here, I'll write you a check for 100 million. Is that enough?"

  "Shut up, Zi Xuan!" The two of them were arguing like children. Mu Heng didn't want to intervene at first, but the more he listened, the more unbearable it became. What kind of talk was this? No matter how bad the Mu family was, wasn't it all built by him from scratch? Seeing Mu Zi Xuan being so ungrateful, if not for the presence of outsiders making things too embarrassing, he would have blown up already.

  "I didn't say anything wrong!" Mu Zixuan shouted directly at Mu Hengshui, then turned to Ye Yizhe and said, "Look at this kind of person who looks like a pretty boy, even if you want me to get engaged, you should find someone better. This kind of person is something that nobody wants on the street, yet he dares to come and cancel the engagement? Am I, Mu Zixuan, just an object that can be discarded at his whim? When did my marriage need to be controlled by this outsider?"

  The gaze that looked at Ye Yizhe was even more venomous, the anger in his eyes seemed to be burning him up, and when he saw Ye Yizhe's slightly dodging body, the disdain in his eyes became even stronger.

  Ye Yizhe couldn't help but let out a cold snort, and simply ignored her. A woman like this was too accommodating, and would only fuel her arrogance. Noticing that she still wanted to speak, Ye Yizhe directly cut in before her, saying: "Not mentioning your appearance, just based on your temper, I don't believe anyone outside would want you. As a member of the Mu family, someone like you has appeared, the Mu family will sooner or later be ruined by your hands!"

  "You!" Mu Zi Xuan pointed at Ye Yi Zhe with one hand, panting heavily and shouting.

  "What's wrong with me? I didn't say anything wrong, where did your confidence come from? Don't think that everyone is after your family's wealth, just this wealth of yours, I haven't even looked up to it. If I were to strive, a small Mu family would eventually surpass you, and what about you? Only knowing how to enjoy the blessings of your ancestors, a useless waste? Besides sitting idle and enjoying the fruits of others' labor, what else can you do? Besides being arrogant with words, what else are you capable of? Besides proving yourself superior in speech, what else are you worthy of?"

  "Bang!"

  Everyone stared at the center of the hall in shock, and everyone knew what had happened just by looking.

  Only to see Ye Yizhe covering half of his face in pain, Mu Zixuan stood in front of Ye Yizhe, her palm had just fallen, and Ye Yizhe's face seemed to be swollen all over. The old man was stunned, pointing at Mu Zixuan and shouting: "You come here!"

  Mu Zi Xuan reluctantly walked to his side, the old man fiercely grabbed her arm, turned her around and pointed at Ye Yi Zhe saying: "Apologize to me!"

  "It was he who spoke ill of me first!" Mu Zi Xuan retorted resolutely, "He said such things about me, Grandfather, can't you be reasonable?"

  "Hey!" Mu Heng Shui was about to raise his hand, and just as he was about to slap her face, Ye Yi Zhe walked up to him and said respectfully: "Uncle Mu, let's just drop it at this. Continuing to quarrel won't do anyone any good. It was originally my fault as a junior. If I hadn't come to cancel the engagement, none of these things would have happened."

  Mo Heng let out a soft "hmm" and slowly lowered her arms, clutching at her chest as she panted heavily. With a hint of a cough, she said: "This little girl has been spoiled by me all along, Yezi. This matter is the Mo family's fault towards you. From now on, if there's anything, just give the word and this marriage will be called off. This little girl is so troublesome, it's us Mo family who are not worthy of you."

  Ye Yizhe nodded and said: "I came for this too. Since that's the case, I'll take my leave first."

  Originally wanted to speak up and persuade Mu Hengshui to stay, but looking at Ye Yizhe and then at Mu Zixuan beside him, the two people seemed to be incompatible. He couldn't help but sigh: "In this situation today, I won't persuade you to stay either. If there's anything in the future, just give us a word, as long as it's within our power, the Mu family will definitely do its best."

  Yeyizhe turned around and left.

  As he walked to the door, Ye Yizhe suddenly turned his head and saw Mu Zixuan with a smile on her face, as well as Mu Hengshui by her side with a hint of helplessness. Suddenly, a surge of anger rose up in his chest, and the words he had originally wanted to say were buried deep within him. Instead, he blurted out: "One day, you'll be begging me."

  Finished speaking, turned around and left, without leaving a single trace.

  "Grandpa," looking at Ye Yizhe leaving the neighborhood, Mu Zixuan jumped to Mu Hengshui's side, "This young man is really not good, can't calm down at all, and got hooked with just one stimulation."

  There is no trace of the previous arrogance in her words, it's completely a different tone, although she still has that beautiful and cute face, but the depth revealed in her eyes is absolutely not something an ordinary young person can possess.

  "I'm also surprised, logically he shouldn't be like this, before I saw him being dignified and composed, among the younger generation he was always a leader, could it be that everything about him is just an act." Old Master Mu Hengshui also had a thoughtful expression, for the first time he felt that he couldn't see through a young person.

  "If that's really the case, then we can only accept it. From his last sentence, you can see a bit of his ambition. However, Grandfather, you know I'm not really looking down on him. It's just that no matter how great his potential is, what can he do? With his current strength, how can he protect our Mu family?"

  Mo Heng nodded slightly, looking at Mo Zixuan with a mixture of relief and surprise. The young woman's face was flushed red, and she had completely transformed into a different person from her usual self. This sudden change was actually the best disguise for the current situation. Her reaction speed was impressive, even Mo Heng thought she was genuinely angry if he didn't know her personality.

  Except for that last slap, everything else was flawless.

  Having such descendants, what more could one ask for?

  It wasn't until Mu Zi Xuan left that she didn't notice, but Mu Heng Shui had been thinking about Ye Yi Zhe's last words all along, and a thought arose in her mind: Was it too much?

  Yi Zhe walked out of Yipin Garden and dialed a number: "Old man, it's been taken care of. Don't worry, nothing happened, and I didn't have any conflict with Mu Hengshui. Take care of your health, bye."

  After hanging up the phone, Ye Yizhe couldn't help but let out a cold hum. No matter what, this slap will be paid back to you.

  Hehe, Dao Xing.
