Shen Yue shot him a sour look, then he averted his gaze.
In response to Shen Yue’s words, Mu Yuchen only thought about it a little more before he very graciously nodded and responded with a single word, “Okay.”
While Mu Yuchen’s response immediately made Shen Yue stop what he was doing, he looked at Mu Yuchen in shock. “Are you being serious right now?”
Mu Yuchen smiled calmly and gentleness spread over his handsome face. He nodded happily. “Of course.”
“Grandpa!”
The two men had discussed all of this as if she was not there. Were they not too much? Besides, she did not even know when they would have a child!
When they heard Xi Xiaye’s unexpected voice, the two men slowly turned to look and noticed that Shen Wenna was smiling slightly with her lips pursed while Xi Xiaye’s fair face was already blushing. She widened her starry eyes and glared at Mu Yuchen.
“What’s wrong? I’ve been wanting to talk to you two about this. While you’re still young, quickly make one or two little ones. One would be too lonely. If there were a few siblings, it would be good for banter, wouldn’t it? Ah Chen, I’m taking you seriously when it comes to this. Tell me, what do you want to bet on?”
Obviously, Shen Yue would not let go of such an excellent opportunity.
Mu Yuchen lowered his voice and said softly to Shen Yue, “I bet that in one week, Father will be able to get a divorce with Yue Lingsi. If I lose, then I will go with the condition that you have raised. If I win, then I hope that you won’t intervene with Father trying to go after Mother again. Are you willing to take this bet on?”
When he heard this, Shen Yue’s aged eyes immediately squinted and his old face tensed. There was a coldness that seeped into his gaze. You could tell that he did not seem very happy with this conversation.
Yet, Mu Yuchen remained calm. He looked at Shen Yue quietly and did not look nervous at all.
Shen Yue then lowered his gaze. As if after some careful deliberation, he said, “Okay, if I don’t agree, then you all would think that I’m unreasonable. If he really has the heart, he wouldn’t have waited until now! I’ll agree with you right now. If the situation is still the same after a week, then please let him know that he doesn’t even have the right to see Wenna!” He was not sloppy either. He ended it with a firm conclusion.
Mu Yuchen smiled and nodded. “It’s a deal, then?”
“I, Shen Yue, will always honor my words. Since I’ve said it, then I’ll just have to see if he’ll help himself succeed. What does the Xi family think they have? Us Shens have never cared for any of their things. Those few women are just too savage. It’s not just these one or two days that I’ve been itching to teach them a lesson. Even though a real man doesn’t fight women, they have been mean and menacing. If I don’t give them a warning, they won’t know how to exercise restraint!”
When Yue Lingsi was mentioned, Shen Yue became furious again. He almost could not control the anger in his heart.
Mu Yuchen leisurely poured him some tea and said slowly, “Grandpa, you don’t have to worry about that. I’m guessing that it’ll be very hard for them to make a comeback this time. Please just wait and see.”
“I know that you’re hitting on Yueying. If I hadn’t known that your people would’ve intervened, I would’ve combined with either Jin Yi Movies or Hua Dong Movies to swallow them whole. Then, there wouldn’t be so many problems like they are right now. It’s better to benefit others than them!”
Shen Yue was upset as he spoke, peering up at Mu Yuchen. “Glory World Movie City seems to be developing quite well in City B. Wenna and Xiaye still have shares with Yueying, that’s why I held back and haven’t made a move. Otherwise, did you really think I could have tolerated them?”
“Yueying has a pretty good foundation in the showbiz industry. If we can get it, then that would obviously be the best. Besides, I’ve always wanted to take over it and give it to her as a wedding gift,” Mu Yuchen spoke about his intentions honestly. “It will be soon. Once the time is right, I’ll be able to empty the entire Yueying, then there wouldn’t be any reason for its existence any longer.”
In response, Shen Yue nodded. “Since you already have such consideration and guarantee, then I won’t intervene. They are relying on just that, aren’t they? I’ve heard from the Yue family’s end that they recently have had some unhappy dealings with Xi Mushan. Wasn’t it you who suppressed all those news?”
As Shen Yue spoke, his sharp gaze immediately stopped on Mu Yuchen’s handsome face and his gaze was filled with confidence.
Mu Yuchen breathed in slightly and lowered his head to take a sip of the tea before he said, “It’s a bad influence, so I can only suppress the news for a while, as much as I can. If you have any difficulties, they’d be worried too.”
“You really have considered things quite a lot. I’ve read the newspapers too. Aren’t those media just spewing nonsense?”
Shen Yue felt rather repelled by the media. He lived reclusively, never accepted any media interviews, and very rarely appeared in public occasions or before the media, so he had a legendary existence in the world. Many people did not actually know his background, and most of them even guessed that he was not local, that he was an estate tycoon from abroad who got rich. Only when Fu Hua made it big did he come over to develop the land while his home was not in this city.
Naturally, Shen Yue ignored all the media guesses and continued to do things his own way.
When it came to this, he was quite similar to Mu Yuchen. Because of Mu Zi, Mu Yuchen’s aunt who was named Mu Zixi, he was influenced and personally avoided the show business industry. Now that Glory World was advancing into showbiz, almost all matters were pushed to VP Liu Lingyu to handle. He did not like to interact much with those in the entertainment business although there was no particular reason why. He simply rejected them in his heart.
“I won’t say anything more about this. Just play by ear. Aren’t you and Xiaye going to be taking wedding photos in the next two days? If you’re busy in the next two days, then you don’t have to come. I’m fine watching over here.”
When the wedding was mentioned, the fury in Shen Yue’s heart finally calmed down. “We can’t delay it anymore no matter what. Your grandparents were discussing the guest list with me a few days ago. They said that you two were planning on organizing your wedding abroad. Is that right?”
“Mmm, Xiaye says she wants to see South America. The scenery is pretty amazing there, and it would also be good to relax at the same time.”
“Go then. Young people should go out more. Having some fun is fine. Don’t wait till you’re old and want to walk more but by then it’s too hard. Last time, when your grandma was still around, she said that she’d wait till we were old before letting me bring her out to explore the world. I just went with her. I decided to wait until we were no longer busy and were retired. Then, I’d go with her… Sadly, she still could not wait. By the time I was no longer busy, she was long gone…” Shen Yue suddenly lamented, and could not help but sigh.
