CHAPTER 489: CHAPTER 489: CAN’T I GET A WIFE?

Even after so many years, she remained deeply worried.

Mo Xingyuan had taken good care of Zhuyue and the Shen Family all these years, all because Zhuyue once saved his life.

What if one day, he suddenly realized the person who saved him wasn’t Zhuyue and that Zhuyue hadn’t done him any favor? Then how would he treat the Shen Family? And how would he treat Zhuyue?

Now that the Shen Family was asking him for 500 million again, on the day everything gets exposed, would that 500 million...

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Mrs. Shen was still lost in her wild thoughts when Mayor Shen suddenly snapped, "Mo Xingyuan was saved by our Zhuyue, no one else."

"Yes, yes, the master is right, Mo Xingyuan... he will never find out, never."

Mrs. Shen came to her senses only after being yelled at.

They had signed a confidentiality agreement with the Mu Family elders.

They didn’t dare to spread the word.

Plus, they didn’t even know that Mo Xingyuan was the boy who was saved back then.

What reason did they have to disclose anything?

This incident had been hidden for so many years; there wouldn’t be a day when it’s exposed.

Absolutely not.

"The people from the Mu Family still have five years before they get out, and even if they do, how could they still be the same Mu Family? I’ll make sure they disappear from Rong City forever, never to have the chance to meet Mo Xingyuan," a cold gleam flickered in Mayor Shen’s eyes.

Since he was the one who had personally sent them to prison, he could naturally make them disappear from Rong City completely.

He would never let them have a chance to speak in front of Mo Xingyuan.

The events of the past, Mo Xingyuan will never know the truth.

"That’s a relief to me."

Mrs. Shen finally relaxed.

It seemed she wasn’t the only one worried.

The master was also anxious.

So he had planned everything in advance.

Since everything was part of the master’s plan, there was no need for her to worry anymore.

Just wait for Mo Xingyuan to deliver the money.

million.

The thought alone made Mrs. Shen’s heart bloom with joy.

Finally, the Shen Family was about to become a real powerhouse.

...

"Little girl, why does the more I look at you, the more familiar you seem?"

Su Ge was seriously reading the files Huo Jialin had given her.

Huo Jialin, probably out of boredom, occasionally glanced at her from where he sat across.

The more he looked, the more familiar she seemed.

But he couldn’t quite place why.

Have I seen her somewhere before?

"I just visited the Huo Family not too long ago, we had met then, shared a meal and drinks. Even someone with face blindness would retain some memory, right?"

Su Ge didn’t look up, continuing her examination of the files.

The Huo Family was indeed meticulous when it came to researching; they had prepared a document dozens of pages long for her.

Each page was densely packed with records, and she had to carefully sift through them to find the key points.

"No no, I mean, apart from at the Huo Family, have we met somewhere else?"

Huo Jialin took a sip of tea, a puzzled expression on his face.

Where was this strange sense of familiarity coming from?

At his words, Su Ge finally looked up with bright eyes, "Huo Jialin, you don’t have feelings for me, do you?"

"Pfft—"

The tea instantly burst out, spilling onto the floor.

"Am I really so undesirable that no one would marry me? Have feelings for you? Don’t think just because my parents like you that you can become the daughter-in-law of the Huo Family. Let me make it clear to you right now, Huo Jialin, even if I never get married in this life, I absolutely will not marry you. I don’t have any feelings for you, so don’t get your hopes up!"
