Clever people all knew the Shen family today did not need to rely on marriage alliance to gain benefits. Although it involved a lot of help on the surface. Why didn’t the Shen family didn’t force Young Master Shen to marry a woman with a prominent family background? It was because there was no need. Shen’s family business had become an indestructible business empire through generations of hard work. Any so-called prominent family was not worth mentioning in front of them. If he had to find someone of equal social status… “I’m afraid we won’t be able to find one.”

However, just because they didn’t force him didn’t mean their son’s marriage was not a priority. Young Master Shen probably had long planned to remain a bachelor for the rest of his life if one looked at his frivolous appearance. Mrs. Shen could let him do whatever he wanted except single blessedness! Madam Shen was a ruthless person. She immediately decided to arrange the marriage when she met with Madam Mu and discovered Mu Qingyu was willing.

“Anyway, that kid’s household register and identity card were all in her hands. When he returns, she could have cooked the raw rice. They would develop feelings for each other with a soft and delicate wife at home. Mrs. Shen encountered Qingyu many times. There was nothing to pick whether her looks or character. To marry such a good child like Qingyu as his wife would be a fortune to her family’s little brat! He better not be ungrateful!

There were many rumors regarding the Shen family’s young master in the outside world. Madam Mu was unwilling to let Mu Qingyu marry such an insufferably arrogant young master. However, Mu Qingyu’s attitude was firm, and the company was on the verge of collapse. Thus, she could only agree. Madam Mu blamed herself for being useless and could only watch her young girl marry into an unfamiliar family. The Shen family’s power was strong. It was not something their Mu family could fight.

However, she met Mrs. Shen that day and could finally relax sparingly. The First Lady of Yan City was intelligent and elegant. She didn’t look down on others when she spoke. It made people feel like they bathed in the spring breeze. In addition, she could not fake the feelings she revealed when they discussed the marriage… ‘Perhaps, the marriage wouldn’t ruin Qingyu.’

Madam Mu told Mu Qingyu everything that happened that day. Eventually, she said, “Shen Jingmo isn’t in the country now. I’ve asked someone to find out. Although he has a temper, his family is strict, and he’s not someone who would mess around. Don’t just swallow your anger if he bullies you after the wedding. His mother promised me today that as long as you marry him, she will treat you like her daughter. You can ask your Aunt Wu to back you up if he dares you badly. Mrs. Shen is a competent woman. You’ll learn a lot from her after you marry into her family.”

Madam Mu advised her earnestly. “Qingyu, although I didn’t give birth to you, I’ve always treated you as my child all these years. Other than Qingfeng, you’re my only child. I have dreamed of you on our side until we leave this life. Just stay at home and be our daughter… However, things didn’t go according to my wishes…” As Madam mu spoke, she couldn’t hold back her tears, and they fell. It’s us, the elders, who are incapable. We even made you worry about this family… Mu Qingfeng was the only child of the second branch of the Mu family. He had been in poor health since he was young and had to rely on expensive medicine to maintain his life. She could only watch as her child waited for death at home if the Mu family were to fall.

“Aunt, don’t cry.” Mu Qingyu gently hugged Madam Mu and gently patted her back. “Don’t worry about me. The Shen couple and my parents are old acquaintances. It wouldn’t be a disadvantage if I were to marry them, just like what you said. I will marry Young Master Shen of my own free will. So please don’t blame yourself.” Even if she married into the Shen family, it would only be a marriage in the name. She could save the Mu family and her elder brother. She was already taking advantage of the Shen family.
