"Mum!"
Mu Yuyan glanced at her mother, who was firing off questions like a machine gun, and couldn’t help but steal a look at Li Feng.
After all, there really wasn’t much to her relationship with him, and it was clear her mother intended to intimidate Li Feng. But her own mother’s attempt at intimidation might not necessarily work.
"Don’t speak."
Mu Yuyan’s mother cut her off directly. She knew her daughter all too well; this girl had been so well protected by them all her life that she had never even dated. Who knew if she could be deceived?
If she didn’t manage to dig out the truth about this man today, her years as a law professor would have been in vain.
"What, are my questions too difficult to answer?"
"Or do you need to make up your answers on the spot?"
Li Feng looked up at Mu Yuyan’s mother, who was aggressively interrogating him as if he were a criminal.
"Auntie, since you asked, I have nothing to hide."
"I grew up in a single-parent family, raised by my mother, and later lived with my grandfather after my mother’s death. I had a marriage and have a daughter."
Li Feng didn’t get to continue before Mu Yuyan’s mother cut him off: "Single-parent family, already married, and with a daughter!"
Mu Yuyan’s mother looked at Li Feng with sharp eyes.
"You don’t need to continue. Based on these three points alone, I can tell you outright that it’s impossible between you and my daughter. I will not let my daughter end up as soone’s stepmother."
"You might as well give up that idea."
"Mum!"
Mu Yuyan hadn’t expected her mother to be so arbitrary and jump to conclusions. Although she too hadn’t made up her mind, she really couldn’t accept being dismissed so bluntly by her own mother.
Mu Tiantao, who was sitting on a nearby sofa, frowned as well, but seeing his wife’s attitude, he stayed silent. After all, he wasn’t familiar with Li Feng. He simply sat sipping tea, thinking the young man seed alright but what ca out of his mouth were three big problems.
These circumstances are usually unacceptable to won; after all, her own daughter is the pearl of the family, having never even dated, and now to beco soone’s stepmother?
From a father’s standpoint, he couldn’t accept it either.
Mu Yuyan’s mother ignored her and looked directly at Li Feng: "Li Feng, I may be quite direct, but I absolutely won’t let my daughter jump into this kind of ’fire pit’."
"My daughter has been pure and untouched, never dated, and since she was young, I’ve cultivated her interests in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dance. Her beauty and appearance are more than enough to make her a great star. As for our family, both her father and I are professors, and she is currently a university lecturer; you could say she is outstanding in every aspect."
"The n who pursue my daughter have money, background, character, and looks. To be honest, any one of these n is better than you."
"If you’re sensible, you’ll stop pursuing my daughter."
After saying that, Mu Yuyan’s mother stood up: "It’s getting late. Please leave."
Mu Yuyan watched her mother’s commanding exit: "Mum, how can you be like this?"
"Don’t make say things that are even harder to hear."
Mu Yuyan’s mother looked at Li Feng, who then stood up in response to the eviction: "In that case, auntie, I’ll take my leave."
Li Feng then stood up and walked out of the Mu family’s ho, maybe for the better. As for being scorned by Mu Yuyan’s mother, he didn’t take it to heart at all.
"Mum, why are you like this?"
"I’m doing this for your own good. Did you really plan on becoming soone’s stepmother? Don’t see this Li Feng anymore. The last ti he ca to our house, your father’s student, not even thirty and already a successful entrepreneur, now owns a fortune of billions. The tea your father drinks is a gift from him."
"Look at the way he presents himself, then look at the other guy, trying to get sothing for nothing, dreaming too beautifully."
Li Feng listened to the commotion behind him in the hallway. They were deliberately saying this for him to hear, weren’t they?
Li Feng fished out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and walked out of the building with casual ease.
"Mom, you’re going overboard!"
Mu Yuyan, sullenly sitting on the sofa, heard her mother rely huff in response, "I already spared him so dignity."
"Old man, why don’t you speak up instead of playing the good guy? Do you really want to watch your daughter leap into a pit of fire?"
Mu Tiantao coughed before looking at Mu Yuyan, "Yuyan, I’m not asking for you to marry into a wealthy family. I just want you to be happy. Li Feng is truly not a suitable match."
"Mu Yuyan, don’t wait until you’ve suffered to co to your senses. By then, it will be too late. While things between you two haven’t gone too far, just end it. It’s better to have a short pain than a long one."
"Mom, you don’t know anything and just jump to conclusions. And to think you’re a law professor. You’re being completely subjective right now, totally ignoring the objective facts."
"Hmph, I’m being subjective?"
"But Li Feng said himself that he’s single, but has been married before and has a daughter. Is that being subjective? I’m just stating the facts."
"Whatever you say."
Mu Yuyan bit her lip and stood up.
"Where are you going?"
"I’m going to my room to take a shower." Mu Yuyan walked into her bedroom, leaving the Mu Family’s elderly couple facing each other in the guest room.
"Old Mu, your daughter might have really fallen for him. That stubborn girl has a real headstrong streak. We must find a way to completely eliminate Li Feng, to make him give up for good!" Mu Yuyan’s mother said, looking at Mu Tiantao.
Mu Tiantao made a noise of acknowledgnt, "What do you have in mind?"
"That student of yours, he seems to be interested in our daughter. I noticed a different look in his eyes when he last visited, and he’s your student, so you must know his character. Besides, he’s quite handso and seems well-matched with our daughter."
Mu Tiantao acknowledged again, "You an Little Liu."
"Yes, he doesn’t have a girlfriend now, does he?"
"I don’t think so."
"Do you have his contact information?"
"Yes."
"Give it to ."
Mu Yuyan’s mother took the number and dialed it right away.
"Hello, is this the teacher?"
"Little Liu?"
"Oh, hello, Mother Teacher, do you need sothing?"
"It’s nothing serious, just that we didn’t treat you well the last ti you visited us. There’s not much happening daily, and Yuyan is at ho. Do you have ti to join us for a casual al?"
"I do, I do."
"Good, then co to our house tomorrow noon."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Yuyan’s mother stood up and walked directly to Mu Yuyan’s room. Mu Yuyan was showering in the bathroom. Her mother picked up Mu Yuyan’s phone, unlocked it, and found Li Feng’s contact details on it.
She sent a ssage to Li Feng and then deleted it.
Li Feng finished his cigarette and was about to drive away when his phone lit up with a ssage.
