CHAPTER 191: CHAPTER 190: UNKNOWN CALLER

Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting didn’t answer and directly hung up the phone.

As expected, Huo Junmo persistently called again.

Mu Beiting didn’t pick up!

After ringing for a while, the phone finally fell silent.

......

Time slipped away quietly, and as it neared the end of the workday, someone knocked on Mu Beiting’s office door.

With his head buried in a mountain of paperwork, Mu Beiting said without looking up, "Come in!"

The office door opened, and instead of Pete, it was Huo Junmo who entered.

Huo Junmo sat down across from Mu Beiting and immediately noticed a stack of photos at the corner of the desk. His face darkened upon seeing who was in the pictures.

Detecting something unusual, Mu Beiting raised his head. Seeing Huo Junmo staring at the photos, his expression turned grim, and he asked in an unfriendly tone, "Why are you here?"

Huo Junmo raised an eyebrow, "Why? Qinghan can come, so why can’t I?"

Mu Beiting said nothing, just continued looking at him.

Huo Junmo chuckled, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, placed it on Mu Beiting’s desk, and pushed it towards him, "This is the license plate number of the car that hit Miss Ye today!"

Mu Beiting glanced at the piece of paper on the desk, his lips parted as he coldly said, "Stay away from her from now on!"

Staring at Mu Beiting, Huo Junmo suddenly said seriously, "Beiting, have you fallen for Miss Ye?"

"Get out!" Mu Beiting didn’t answer, just coldly spat out one word.

Huo Junmo reminded him earnestly, "Beiting, Miss Ye is a good girl. Cherish her! Some things, once missed, are lost forever. Don’t think about it anymore!"

Mu Beiting lowered his head and continued working, not answering.

"Beiting, I’m leaving! Treat Miss Ye well! I wish you happiness!" Huo Junmo sighed inwardly, glanced at Mu Beiting, and stood up to leave.

Mu Beiting didn’t see him off, nor did he look up; he remained immersed in his work.

......

A sunny afternoon.

Ye Anxin sat in a rocking chair in the pavilion of the villa, reading a book.

The butler suddenly approached, handing her a red wedding invitation.

Ye Anxin took it puzzledly, opened it, and was slightly stunned upon seeing the photo on it.

This... isn’t this Xie Yunlu’s wedding invitation?

After the last time when Xie Yunlu’s invitation was torn by Uncle, she had forgotten about it!

How did the invitation show up here again?

Just then, the phone she had placed beside her rang.

Ye Anxin glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number. Initially, she didn’t want to answer it, but after thinking, she picked it up.

As soon as the call connected, Xie Yunlu’s smug voice came through, "Ye Anxin, just in case you forgot, I sent you another invitation! The day after tomorrow is my big wedding day! Don’t forget! You promised to come!"

Ye Anxin twitched her lips twice, utterly speechless about Xie Yunlu’s behavior.

She was puzzled, why did Xie Yunlu always want her to attend her wedding ceremony?

Could she just not let her go?

As if seeing through her thoughts, Xie Yunlu continued, "Ye Anxin, I’m going to show you that I’m more suitable for Rufeng, we are a match made in heaven! I want you to witness our happiness!"

Ye Anxin said helplessly, "Xie Yunlu, whether you believe it or not, I really have no feelings for Mu Rufeng anymore, please let me go!"

"Ye Anxin, do you think I would believe you? If you don’t come the day after tomorrow, I’ll send someone to bring you here!" With that, without waiting for Ye Anxin’s response, she hung up the call.

Listening to the busy tone from the other end, Ye Anxin was stunned!

What on earth is wrong with this Xie Yunlu? Why won’t she leave her alone?

After being disturbed by Xie Yunlu, Ye Anxin instantly lost her mood for reading. After thinking, she dialed Ling Yueyue’s number.

The call was quickly answered! Ye Anxin recounted the events from start to finish.

Before she could finish, Ling Yueyue on the other end couldn’t help saying, "Is this Xie Yunlu’s brain squeezed by a door? Inviting her husband’s ex-girlfriend to the wedding? And forcing you to go? She’s really not right in the head!"

Ye Anxin asked hesitantly, "Yueyue, do you think I should go?"

Ling Yueyue said without hesitation, "Go, why not go? Not going would imply you’re guilty and still have lingering fantasies about Mu Rufeng! Not only should you go, but you should dress beautifully! You need to outshine Xie Yunlu no matter what!"

Ye Anxin frowned, "But, I promised Uncle I wouldn’t go! I don’t want to go either!"

Ling Yueyue dramatically rolled her eyes, "Ye Anxin, how are you still so confused? Mu Beiting is Mu Rufeng’s uncle! Do you think he wouldn’t attend his nephew’s wedding? With the uncle present, how can the aunt not be there!"

Ye Anxin fell silent for a moment, "Uncle said he wouldn’t go!"

"Go, definitely go! Even if Mu Beiting doesn’t go, you should! I’ll accompany you when the time comes! With me by your side, I don’t believe she’d dare do anything to you! Don’t worry! When Xie Yunlu is at her proudest, in front of so many people, make her call you aunt! That feeling will surely be delightful! Wait, isn’t our Mr. Huo and Mu Beiting brothers? In that case, doesn’t that make me also Mu Rufeng’s aunt?" Ling Yueyue got more and more excited as she spoke, just imagining the scene made her excited for half a day!

"But...!" Ye Anxin wanted to say something, but Ling Yueyue interrupted first, "No buts, go means go! You can’t go out now, so I’ll pick a beautiful dress for you later! That’s it, I’m hanging up, bye!" Without giving Ye Anxin a chance to refuse, Ling Yueyue decisively hung up.

Listening to the busy tone from the phone, Ye Anxin was momentarily dazed.

Why did she feel that Yueyue was excited?

It’s Xie Yunlu’s wedding, and she was invited! What was she so excited about?

Unable to help it, Ye Anxin rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to put down the phone, it rang again.

Ye Anxin looked at the caller ID, another unfamiliar number.

Ye Anxin picked up the call, and before the other party could speak, she hurriedly said, "Xie Yunlu, I’m telling you, I won’t go to your wedding and I don’t want to go! Please let me go, there’s nothing between me and Mu Rufeng anymore, if you continue to pester me, I won’t be polite!"

She had thought it through, if Uncle went to Mu Rufeng’s wedding, she’d go; if he didn’t go, she wouldn’t go either!

The person on the other end was silent for a while, and gradually, an old and disdainful voice sounded, "Just hooked up with Beiting, and already have such a big attitude! Unkind, how exactly are you going to be unkind?"

Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Ye Anxin was stunned, and after a while, she regained her voice and asked blankly, "Who... who are you?"

"I’m Mu Beiting’s father, I’m right at your door now, come out and open the door!" The person on the other end of the phone threw down these words disdainfully, then hung up the call.

"...!" Ye Anxin was stunned!

What did the person on the phone just say? Uncle’s father? Doesn’t that mean her father-in-law?
