Chapter 12 It's Up To You

• Mu Yangyang was disgusted with Mu Yumei's mean look.
• “What are you talking about?”
• “You know what I meant.” Mu Yumei scoffed.
• “If you really are that naive, then swear to god right now and say that you have no feelings for Haochu.”
• Mu Yangyang lowered her head and became silent.
• She did not dare to.
• Because all this while, she had fancied Shen Haochu.
• At this moment, Mu Yumei suddenly shouted, “Haochu?”
• Mu Yangyang whipped her head upwards to realize that Shen Haochu had returned.
• She looked at Shen Haochu nervously. Honestly, she did not know how much he had heard just now.
• But Shen Haochu turned his head away from her and looked the other way.
• At that moment, she knew that Shen Haochu must have heard their conversation.
• Mu Yumei looked at Shen Haochu's reaction with satisfaction. Then, she smiled sweetly as she consoled Shen Haochu, “Haochu, don't feel stressed about it. Yangyang is married so we can be together now.”
• This was a normal reaction to those being clung-on by a dumb and ugly woman like Mu Yangyang. As for Mo Chenhao's cousin, she really could not comprehend why he was so interested in Mu Yangyang.
• Perhaps he was into this sort of thing or maybe he yearned for some excitement in his life.
• “Yangyang, you're married?” Only now did Shen Haochu turned to look at Mu Yangyang.
• “That's right. She told me earlier that she probably wouldn’t be able to marry someone with good family background. Thus, she wanted to marry into the Mo family. I told her that, although they are rich, the guy...”
• Mu Yumei paused for a while and shook her head. She appeared to be quite upset with this.
• However, Mu Yangyang knew that Mu Yumei was trying to say that she had insisted on marrying into the Mo family for money.
• Shen Haochu furrowed his brows in dismay as he looked at Mu Yangyang.
• “Regardless, thank you for marrying into the Mo family in Yumei's place.”
• Mu Yumei gasped and put on her most sincere expression, “Yes, thank you. If it wasn't for you, I won't have the chance to be with Haochu.”
• Mu Yangyang bit onto her lips hard to stop herself from cursing. Her throat suddenly went dry as she tried to explain, “It's not like what she said.”
• Although she could never be with Shen Haochu in this lifetime, she still did not want to be mistaken as a gold-digger.
• Shen Haochu frowned again.
• “Yangyang, there's no need to explain. I understand what you feel. Although Mo Chenhao... can't work, the Mo family won't treat you poorly.”
• Mu Yangyang felt her heart dropped into the abyss.
• And at this moment, her phone suddenly vibrated.
• She took it out and saw a message filled with a list of dish names. There was nothing else written.
• She did not know who had sent this to her, but she could use this as an excuse to leave.
• “I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first.” She stood up and looked at Shen Haochu with an expressionless face.
• “I used to like you, I won't deny that, but I won't anymore. Mu Yumei knows clearly why I'm married into the Mo family. And it doesn't matter if you believe me or not.”
• The reason she had a crush on Shen Haochu was that he was the only man that did not dislike her. Plus, he was always concerned about her.
• But now, everything seemed just like an act.
• The Mu family and the Shen Family were close to each other. They had known each other for so long. Did he not know about her personality?
• Right. Even my own mother did not trust me. Why would Shen Haochu, an outsider, believe me?
• She left the room without hesitation.
• When she closed the door, she heard Shen Haochu telling Mu Yumei, “I used to think that Yangyang was a naive and kind girl. I never thought she'd be like this...”
• And Mu Yumei's pretentious voice followed.
• “Me too...”
• Mu Yangyang's face went livid. With her fists tightly clenched, she stormed out of the restaurant.
• The phone in her pocket rang again, and she picked up the call without looking at the screen.
• A familiar deep voice reached her ears.
• “Take away the dishes listed in the message and bring them home.”
