Tianxin widened her eyes in shock, she asked with obvious disbelief, “So, you… value her more than


    me?”


    “What is the matter with you? Can you even see beyond yourself?” Mubai grumbled in frustration. He


    refused to waste another second talking to this woman.


    Howe he had never realized how conceited Chu Tianxin really is?


    To be fair, it was not entirely Mubai’s fault because she hid it extremely well.


    She always put up a perfect facade around him.


    However, the mirage finally cracked to reveal a woman who would go so far as to ruin his own and


    other people’s name to get to him.


    How could he marry such a scary woman?


    Even as a prop, he would consider her aplete waste of space.


    Furthermore, he didn’t love her to begin with. To prevent the tragedy in his previous marriage from


    repeating itself, Mubai was already debating canceling the engagement.


    The revtion from the night before was the straw that tipped the scale.


    He had to do things right by Xinghe.


    Not only did she not get any benefits when she was his wife, she was also treated so badly by his own


    family members. He might not have loved her then but he couldn’t allow such injustice toe to pass


    in his own household.


    Moreover, she did give him the most precious present of all, his son.


    Xinghe had sacrificed the most luscious period of her youth to stay in their marriage and give him a


    child but for all that, what did she get in return? A p on her wrist and crosshairs on her back.


    And now they wanted him to marry the woman that plotted against his own son’s mother? Did they


    seriously consider him a cat with no ws?


    Perhaps he was normally too agreeable to their demands that they had forgotten who he was!


    Mubai’s sudden aggressiveness surprised all of them.


    However, the Chu Family would not take this sitting down!


    Mrs. Chu stepped forth to interrogate, “Since you don’t care about my daughter, why agree to the


    marriage in the first ce? How can you go back on your words and treat my daughter this way!”


    Mubai gave a grimugh.


    “Mrs. Chu, I purposely kept my tone light to help your family save face but since you’ve asked, should 1


    remind you how your whole family has begged for this engagement? Have you forgotten what I


    repeatedly told you that day? I said, 1 am not in love with your daughter.”


    Mrs. Chu’s face fell. There was humiliation and anger boiling underneath it.


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    It was the same for all the Chu’s…


    Mubai was openly demeaning them.


    However, what he said was the truth.


    They wanted Tianxin to marry him so badly that they were practically one step away from kissing the


    ground he walked on. Mubai had solemnly warned them that he felt nothing towards Tianxin. If they


    wanted to force the engagement, she had to prepare to survive a loveless marriage.


    Deluded by their pride, they thought Tianxin could make him love her after they got engaged. However,


    at the end of the day, they didn’t mind even if Mubai didn’t have warm feelings towards them as long as


    they could gain ess to the Xi Family’s riches and fame.


    Tianxin marrying into the Xi Family was their key to a life of limitless luxury.


    They were so blinded by profits that they didn’t care about theck of love in their daughter’s


    rtionship.


    Therefore, this engagement was, from the very beginning, an uneven contract. They were the passive


    and weaker party. Their position was precarious.


    So, could they really fault others for their own greed?
