Chapter 3

My Name Is Mu Ci
“Cough! Cough! Father!” Bei Cong hurriedly stopped his father.
He reached out and pulled Bei Shuo over. “Young Master Mu, this is my younger sister, Bei Shuo. I’ve asked someone to take a look at her eight characters. She’s a match made in heaven with you. I’ve already reported this to Old Master Mu. Old Master Mu is very satisfied!”
Bei Shuo was dragged by Bei Cong to the point of staggering, so she shook off Bei Cong’s hand with slight anger. She sized up the icy-cold person in the wheelchair and said indifferently, “Is he that guy from the Mu family?”
She looked at Bei Cong.
“Oh my. Where are your manners?” Bei Cong was anxious to the point he almost suffocated to death.
“My name is Mu Ci.” Young Master Mu introduced himself. His voice was low and mellow, as if he was still smiling.
Bei Shuo nodded. Yes, that was the guy.
“If I marry you, will you give the Bei family the $20 million project?” Bei Shuo asked hesitantly.
“Sure.” Mu Ci nodded, his eyes focused on the girl in front of him.
“Alright, I’ll marry you then.” Bei Shuo waved the document in her hand.
Mu Ci took it and glanced at it. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he looked up at Bei Shuo. “Let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register and go home with me. Uncle Liu, arrange for the Bei family’s project to start. Miss Bei will have nothing to do with the Bei family from now on.”
Everyone was stunned.
Butler Liu finally reacted. “Yes, Young Master!”
He turned around and smiled at Bei Shuo. He gestured for her to come over. “Young Madam Mu, let’s go.”
Bei Shuo opened his mouth, but before she could speak, Mu Ci said, “Just bring your ID. Let’s go home.”
Bei Shuo’s mind raced. Although the plot developed a little quickly, it was much to her liking!
She decided to leave there and then!
“Are you leaving just like that?” Bei Le’s sobbing voice sounded behind her.
Bei Shuo stopped. “Oh, right. I have to get my ID. Mu-whatever. Wait for me.”
“Mu Ci,” Mu Ci introduced himself again.
Unfortunately, Bei Shuo did not listen. She ran upstairs like a whirlwind and rushed to the small room at the innermost corner. She picked up her sling bag and suitcase and rushed down again.
“Mr. Mu, my older sister has just returned to our family for slightly over a month and hasn’t spent enough quality time with my parents. She can’t leave just like that. We still have to prepare her dowry.” Bei Shuo had just arrived downstairs when he heard Bei Le stand a few steps away from Mu Ci and say gently.
Mu Ci waved the document in his hand. “Haven’t you spent enough quality time with her yet? Haven’t you already signed the contract? I’ll take her to register immediately. Your business can be completed, and she won’t have anything to do with you anymore.”
Mu Ci’s voice was calm and distant.
“Young-Young Master Mu, we… we.. we were just joking. How could we possibly let go of this kinship? How could we let go just like that? How could we just sever ties like that?” Bei De tried hard to think of words.
Bei Cong was so anxious that he rubbed his hands together, and he wished for nothing more than to stretch out his hand and grab the contract, tear it apart, and swallow it into his stomach.
He could not wrap his mind around it. He only left for an entire morning, but they had signed some stupid contract in his absence.
Mu Ci raised his eyebrows and his expression turned cold. “Oh really? It seems you don’t want your daughter to marry into the Mu family to help counteract my bad luck and ease my condition then. It seems that the $20 million project—”
“No, no, no. That’s not true. Young… Young Master Mu, please don’t change your mind about the project!” Bei De’s forehead was already covered in sweat.
Mu Ci said indifferently, “You should be glad that you have a good daughter who is willing to sell herself to save your family. From now on, Bei Shuo…”
He looked at the contract in his hand. She certainly had very powerful strokes for a girl.
“Bei Shuo has nothing to do with you anymore and has given up her inheritance rights in the Bei family. If you want to go back on your word, I’ll hire a lawyer for Bei Shuo. Naturally, I’m not going to help you with the project either.”
The entire Bei family shut up.
Bei Shuo walked over quickly. “Alright, we can leave now.”
Uncle Liu looked at the small suitcase in Bei Shuo’s hand and her sling bag in surprise. However, he only swallowed his words and said nothing.
