Chapter 5: She Didn’t Deserve It

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Bai Su dragged her heavy luggage and walked along the mountain road while panting. From time to time, she stopped and looked at the navigation on her phone.

Would anyone really build their house on the mountainside?

If she had known earlier, she would have listened to Mu Chen’s suggestion and gotten the chauffeur to pick her up. This trip down the mountain road was enough suffering.

But since she promised Mu Chen that she would fake their marriage, she would put on a show and move to his house to act in front of Old Madam Mu.

She was finally there.

In front of her, there was a villa that couldn’t be more grandiose. Perhaps it was more appropriate to describe it as a castle. The main body of the building had a Baroch architectural style. Other than the ingenious buildings, the greenery was very beautiful as well. The scenery was too much for Bai Su to take in, and she couldn’t stop smiling.

She didn’t know how long she had been walking for, but she finally made it to the main house.

Butler Lin had been waiting at the door for a while. When he saw her coming, he bowed respectfully to her and made a “please” gesture. He then took the luggage from her hand and even called her “Young Madam.”

Unfortunately, Bai Su could still see the deep disdain in his eyes.

She followed Butler Lin into the house. The interior was extremely luxurious, and even the walls were covered in marble. Rong Xiu was wearing the latest Haute Couture. She looked at Bai Su with disdain. Bai Su was wearing a cheap-looking white T-shirt and casual jeans. Although she looked clean, she looked like a poor girl who had walked out of a slum.

“Butler Lin, you brought home such a poor person?”

Butler Lin didn’t know how to react. He explained to Rong Xiu awkwardly, “Madam, this is the Young Madam that Young Master likes. She has already married him and will be living in the villa in the future.”

“What did you say? She’s my brother’s wife?”

A crisp female voice sounded, and she saw a beautiful young girl in her early twenties standing on the stairs. She was wearing a white dress, and she looked like a princess from a fairy tale. Unfortunately, her words were very vicious.

“Bai Su? How can you be my older brother’s wife? A beggar like you isn’t worthy of the Mu family!”

Mu Xing was also studying at Beso University and was in the same grade as Bai Su.

She watched as Bai Su won the top scholarship and became a prominent figure in the school. She even got selected to join Professor Cheng’s laboratory team with outstanding results. Even though she was still a student, the other party had already requested that she join.

Even the Mu family, which was the largest investor, rejected Mu Xing after she submitted her resume again and again.

She hated the outstanding Bai Su.

Bai Su didn’t expect to see Mu Xing, nor did she know that she was Mu Chen’s younger sister.

“No, I won’t allow her to be my sister-in-law!”

Mu Xing was already very dissatisfied with Bai Su. When she thought about how she was going to be her sister-in-law now, and that she would be her senior in the future, she felt even more unhappy.

Rong Xiu added fuel to the flames. “That’s right. Mu Chen is the most outstanding young man in City A. How can he marry such a disgraceful woman?”

As they spoke, Mu Chen arrived.

He looked at her disdainfully and his gaze swept past her calmly. Rong Xiu immediately swallowed the rest of her words.

Although Mu Chen was her biological child, she was afraid of him from the bottom of her heart. Mu Chen had long since broken free from her control.

“The Mu family has a lot of assets. I’m worried that this indecent woman will have ulterior motives and do something detrimental.”

Rong Xiu softened her tone and sounded much more polite, but she still couldn’t tolerate Bai Su.

“Don’t worry, I have signed an agreement with Mu Chen. I won’t take a single cent of the Mu Family’s assets.” Bai Su smiled as she spoke word for word.

Naturally, that was aside from the one million that she and Mu Chen had agreed on,

She needed a million dollars to save someone who was very important to her.

Rong Xiu was stunned. She didn’t expect Bai Su to be so honest. She was going to be the Mu family’s young mistress. Could she really give up such a huge sum of money?

“Even so, that won’t do. Mu Chen, have you forgotten that you have a fiancée?”

Bai Su was stunned. Why would Mu Chen marry her if he had a fiancée? Didn’t he want her to be his mistress?

Mu Chen let out a soft snort and didn’t take it to heart. “Are you talking about the arranged marriage with the Lan family? Have they found the Lan family’s daughter?”

“Not yet.” Rong Xiu sighed. “But the engagement between the two families was set by a very prestigious elder. And I heard that the Lan family found new clues. Maybe they’ll find their daughter soon. The Lan family is involved in politics, and we’re involved in business. The union of the two families is perfect.”
