The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses-Chapter 1435 - I Only Want You

“Mr. and Mrs. Luo, I’m here to talk to you about something.”

“Ms. An… I mean… Mrs. Jin, please come in,” Mrs. Luo said frantically.

An Xiaoning and Fan Shixin entered and took a seat while the rest of the Luo family members, except Mr. and Mrs. Luo, left the living room.

After the servants served the tea, An Xiaoning said, “I’m here to talk about the marriage of the Mu and Luo families. I know that the wedding will be held tomorrow, but unfortunately, Ms. Mu and Mr. Luo cannot be married.”

Puzzled and astonished, Mr. and Mrs. Luo asked, “The two families have already had a discussion and came to an agreement. Why can’t they be married?”

“Perhaps you may not know this, but Ms. Mu and I are friends. She told me that she doesn’t wish to marry your son. She thinks that a marriage without love is not what she wants. Hence, she asked for my help to talk to you guys about this. If you’re agreeable, the Mu family is willing to replace Wansheng with another granddaughter of theirs. The wedding will still proceed accordingly.”

“Mrs. Jin, we’ve always taken marriage seriously. How can we be so hasty and casual about it? Besides, isn’t the other granddaughter Chief Fan’s girlfriend?”

“They’ve long broken up with each other because they couldn’t get along.”

Mrs. Luo replied, “Mrs. Jin, we’re not going to do the replacement. Mu Wansheng is the one whom we had set our sights on. We don’t want Wu Pingyang to be our daughter-in-law.”

“I hope you’ll consider this carefully before answering me, Mrs. Luo. If this negotiation is successful, it’ll be beneficial to both parties. If it doesn’t turn out well, I’m afraid it won’t be ideal when Wansheng goes missing out of nowhere and the wedding becomes jeopardized.”

Mrs. Luo’s heart wrenched and she looked at her husband.

Mr. Luo was much calmer than his wife. He immediately answered, “Mrs. Jin, to be honest with you, we only agreed to invest 10 million dollars into the Mu family’s company because our son wanted to marry Mu Wansheng. We’ll agree to replace her with someone else if we can have five million dollars returned to us.”

“That’s a reasonable request. I’ll convey your thoughts to the Mu family,” said An Xiaoning, who found their request to be understandable. After all, they had forked out such a huge sum and it was only right to ask for their money back if their son was not going to marry their ideal daughter-in-law.

Mr. Luo agreed, “Alright, we’ll have her replaced, then.”

“Sure. I won’t impose on you any further, then. We’re leaving now,” An Xiaoning said before rising from her seat.

“Goodbye, Mrs. Jin.”

“Alright, you don’t have to see me out.” As soon as she turned around, she stopped in her tracks and said to Mr. and Mrs. Luo, “I heard that your son is still dating his girlfriend and that they haven’t broken up yet. As his parents, how can you neglect your child’s happiness? Instead of letting him be in a clandestine relationship, you might as well let him marry the woman he loves. He’ll be happier that way too. No one gets to choose their family background, so why are you using that as a factor? What matters most is your son’s happiness, isn’t it?”

An Xiaoning and Fan Shixin had already left by the time Mrs. Luo recovered from the shock.

She snapped, “How could you agree to it!?!”

“What can we do if I don’t? I can tell that Ms. Mu is very important to An Xiaoning. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to the extent of visiting us personally. It’s not like we can go against her. It’s just a daughter-in-law. Besides, I found her words to have made sense. Why don’t we ask for the entire sum of 10 million dollars to be returned to us and let Luo Xing marry his girlfriend instead?”

Mrs. Luo objected vehemently, “No way. Did you forget what I did to stop them from dating each other? If we let them get married, she’s going to climb all over me. This can’t happen. Since she claims to be able to endure it, we’ll just let her continue bearing with it. I shall see how much longer she can put up with it. We’ll just replace Mu Wansheng with the other granddaughter.”

Luo Xing entered and asked, “Father, Mother, am I going to marry someone else instead of Mu Wansheng?”

“Yes, Mrs. Jin came today to talk to us about this. It doesn’t matter who you’re marrying anyway. You’ll marry Wu Pingyang tomorrow,” said Mrs. Luo.

“Mother, if it’s all the same to you, why can’t I marry my girlfriend? I must have owed you a living in my previous lifetime. That’s why you’re so cruel to me.”

——

An Xiaoning made a trip to the Mu family as well. After some consideration, Mr. Mu agreed to return five million dollars to the Lu family because he did not want to give Fan Shixin up.

The matter was put to rest.

Mrs. Mu informed Mu Wansheng about the news before morning even arrived.

She immediately leaped up from the bed, excited and elated.

Needless to say, someone else was fretting over it.

Wu Pingyang was boiling with fury.

Hence, she decided to threaten and frighten her parents by pretending to kill herself.

Mrs. Mu was at a complete loss for what to do.

“The Luo family have already agreed. You don’t have to argue anymore. You shall marry him tomorrow.”

“No!” Wu Pingyang thumped herself down onto the bed and exclaimed agitatedly, “Why must I marry him just because Mu Wansheng doesn’t want to? Am I that cheap? Father, Mother, are you guys even my parents? Have you ever spared a thought for me?”

Mrs. Wu chided, “The Lu family is a prestigious family of status. What’s there for you to lose? You were the one who decided to be insensible and ruin your relationship with Chief Fan. You were the one who cheated on him and yet you’re blaming us? Pingyang, can you please reflect?”

“Mother, I’m your biological daughter at the end of the day. I really don’t want to marry him. I knew he wasn’t that wealthy when I saw that cheap BMW of his. Even Li Chengbin drives a Porsche. Li Chengbin is richer than him so why should I marry him?”

Mrs. Wu sighed and said, “Don’t bother saying those things to me. Your grandfather has already agreed to it. We can’t change it anymore.”

“It’s not like me and Mu Wansheng are the only granddaughters Grandpa has. He still has one more!”

Mrs. Wu was suddenly reminded of the child whom she had forgotten about.

“She’s your daughter too, Mother. Why can’t you let her marry Luo Xing instead? Mother, go tell Grandpa about this.”

Noticing that her mother was remaining still, Wu Pingyang began bawling and she whined, “I’m not going to marry Luo Xing. I don’t want to marry him, I refuse. Hurry and go tell Grandpa.”

Mrs. Wu had no choice but to concede.

Just as the elderly Mr. Mu was about to fly into a rage upon hearing that Wu Pingyang was not willing to get married, Mrs. Wu said, “Pingyang would like you to let another person replace her. Father, what do you think?”

“Who’s going to replace her? Do we still have another candidate?”

“Yeah, she’s your granddaughter too.”

Mr. Mu squinted and said, “I have another granddaughter?”

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Wu answered, “Actually, that child didn’t die back then. I had merely locked her up.”

Mr. Mu’s eyes widened in shock and he exclaimed, “You mean… Qixing is still alive!?! Are you being serious!?!”
