Chapter 2
Sweet Daughter
The Bei family had never thought of continuing to search for their lost daughter previously. However, the Bei family encountered an insurmountable obstacle in their business. Bei De had tried all sorts of methods to resolve it but to no avail. In the end, it was his son, Bei Cong, who managed to find out some inside information.
The Bei family’s future was in the Mu family’s hands. Their eldest young master was Mu Ci. Bei Cong found out that they were currently looking for a marriage partner for Mu Ci. However, the eldest young master of the Mu family had been ill since he was young. It was already not easy for him to survive until now. It was said that he would not live past 30 years old. No one in the right frame of mind would marry their daughter into the family knowing this.
Sadly, the Bei family was willing to give it a shot since they had no way out!
However, the Bei family’s beloved daughter, Bei Le, was the apple of their eyes. They could not push her into the fire pit. Then, the biological daughter they had just found, Bei Shuo, was the perfect candidate.
This child had been kidnapped since she was young. The sadness from back then had long been cured by Bei Le.
After she returned, she was incompatible with the Bei family and could not be compared to Bei Le, who had grown up by their side. However, she was still her biological daughter. Since she had returned to this family, they had to take her back in.
The family considered carefully before deciding that marrying Bei Shuo into the Mu family was the best choice. Although Young Master Mu was not in good health, the Mu family was a top-notch noble family. For a country girl, this was a huge leap.
Other than Bei Shuo, the rest of the people in the Bei family were very satisfied with this arrangement and felt it was a brilliant idea.
It was rare to see a loving, righteous, and warm family like theirs. Bei Shuo was quite lucky.
Unexpectedly, Bei Shuo turned down this fantastic opportunity and refused to marry into the Mu family. She genuinely did not know what she was saying no to.
The entire family took turns to convince Bei Shuo to change her mind, but she was stubborn. Bei De and Shen Yu were so angry that they wanted to drive her out of the family. It was their son, Bei Cong, who told them to calm down. They had to use their emotions and reason to make Bei Shuo change her mind.
Bei Shuo had finally relented today, but she had suggested severing ties! She was simply infuriating!
Bei Shuo looked at her parents fearlessly. “Think about it. If you agree, we’ll write a contract!”
The moment they heard her demands, Bei De nearly coughed blood in anger.
Bei Le sobbed and said gently, “If you insist on severing ties with us, does that mean that you are giving up your rights to the family inheritance?”
Everyone was stunned briefly.
Bei De and Shen Yu looked at each other. Bei De sneered proudly. “That’s right, Bei Shuo. Think carefully. If you want to cut ties with us, you have to give up the inheritance of the Bei family!”
Bei De looked at Bei Le proudly. They had raised her ever since she was a child, so she was more thoughtful toward them!
Bei Shuo took a deep breath and said calmly, “Alright!”
Bei Le was ecstatic.
“You don’t know what you’re doing!” Bei De was furious and felt insulted.
Some people were like this. If you wanted something, he would definitely not give it to you. If you did not want it, he would fly into a rage out of humiliation. Bei Shuo watched as her biological father had a fit about this.
Bei Le tugged at Bei De’s sleeve. “Dad, why don’t you write a contract? That way, you can set her heart at ease.”
She winked at Bei De, indicating that this was just a ploy to make Bei Shuo keep her word. However, she sneered in her heart. There was no turning back now. Bei Shuo had walked right into her trap.
At his foster daughter’s cue, Bei De softened his attitude. “Alright, we’ll do as you say. We’ll write a contract. When you and Young Master Mu get your marriage certificate, our agreement will take effect. We won’t interact anymore, and you’ll give up the right to inherit the family’s inheritance!”
Bei Le suppressed the excitement in her heart and watched as her parents and Bei Shuo signed and pressed their fingerprints on the concise but clear contract on A4 paper.
It was done! Bei Shuo would no longer have anything to do with the Bei family in the future. She finally managed to remove this obstacle without much effort.
“Dad, Mom, look at who I invited!” Bei Cong’s excited voice came from the door.
Bei Shuo held the document in her hand and blew at the signature. She was very satisfied.
She wanted to turn around and go upstairs. Now that the Bei family’s matter was settled, she had to think of a way to contact Mu Ci and discuss the terms. No matter what, she had to settle down in City M first!
“Is that B… Butler Liu?” Bei De exclaimed.
Bei Le was standing opposite Bei Shuo and was dumbfounded. She was shocked and her eyes were filled with infatuation.
Only then did Bei Shuo turn around and look past the excited and flattering Bei Cong to see the people behind him.
A middle-aged man with a medium build and a kind face pushed a wheelchair and slowly walked in.
The man in the wheelchair was very young. His black shoulder-length hair contrasted with his snow-white face. His facial features were exquisite and deep. The warm afternoon sun shone on his black casual clothes. His fair and slender hands were casually placed on the armrest of the wheelchair.
Bei Shuo could not help but praise him in his heart. He was really good-looking, but he did not look very lively. He looked like a statue, a well-carved statue no less.
“Dad, this is Young Master Mu!” Bei Cong looked at his father with reproach.
Bei Cong pondered inside. It was not easy for Bei Cong to invite a god like Mu Ci, yet his father only greeted a butler.
Bei De seemed as if he had awoken from a dream. He ran two steps forward with joy in his heart as he was extremely excited. “Hi, Young Master Mu. Oh my. Young Master Mu, why have you come personally? Bei Cong, why didn’t you tell me beforehand about this?”
Bei Shuo looked at Bei De and frowned.
The middle-aged man pushing the wheelchair stopped and kept a distance from the excited Bei De. Bei De did not dare to move forward. He was so excited that he did not know what to do.
“Bei Shuo, come here! This is your future husband, Young Master Mu!” He suddenly found an opening.
Bei Shuo was speechless. She wished she could kick her father.
Butler Liu nodded politely at the Bei family. “I’m sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Bei. Young Master is here today to annul the engagement.”
Before Butler Liu could finish speaking, the “statue” on the wheelchair suddenly moved. He raised his hand to stop Butler Liu. “Uncle Liu, stop messing around. I’m here to propose!”
Butler Liu turned into a statue on the spot and looked at his young master in extreme surprise.
Mu Ci pointed at Bei Shuo. “You are my fiancée!”
He used an affirmative sentence.
Bei De had never reacted so quickly in his life. “Yes, yes, yes. Young Master Mu, this is my daughter, Bei Shuo. She’s going to marry into the Mu family to help counteract your bad luck and ease your condition—”
