Chapter 459 - 459 Cancel the Engagement!!
Knowing that their Future-n-laws woul be coming to their house, Mrs. Rao had dragged out Mr. Rao from the company and Grandmaster Rao from his friends house and forced them to dress up well in order to look dignified and not to loose out in front of their future-in-laws.
Neither Mr. Rao nor Grandmaster Rao were willing to welcome the roberres family into their family even at the cost of offending the Mu family.
But for the sake of their princess and her future life, they agreed to meet the roberers family.
not long after, the house butler hurried in to inform about the Mu familie’s arrival.
Hurriedly dragging out Mr. Rao and Grandmaster Rao, Mrs. Rao made her way outside with a polite smile.
As soon as Mr. Mu and Grandmaster Mu alighted from the car, they greeted the family of three politely.
When seeing Grandmaster Rao, Grandmaster Mu did not hold back and teased him with a laugh “Haha Old Rao....you look as Grumpy as always”
“Hehe...and you look as silly as always” Old Man Rao sneered with disgust.
.....
Not taking his words to his heart, Old Man Mu laughed “Hahaha....you haven’t changed, you haven’t changed. You always have your nose up that makes people want to slap you”
“Huh...you too haven’t changed. You still have that sharp tongue that makes people bang you” Old Man Rao retorted.
Standing at the side, the three people and the butler who was listening to the two of bickering childishly felt their lips twitch. One who did not would have thought that the two of them childhood bestfriends.
Afraid that the two oldmen might get into a fight, Mrs. Rao hurriedly invited the two men inside their house.
When the assistant following Mr. Mu passed the gift to the butler, Mrs. Rao did not deny as it was part of etiquete and it would be too impolite to reject someone’s good intention.
Therfore, Mrs. Rao thanked Mr. Mu and lead them to the dinning hall before getting the servants to prepare teas and desserts.
Mr. Mu had always been a person who did not like to run around the bush. Therefore, after a few pleasantaries, he went straight into the topic “I believe Mr. and Mrs. Rao have already guessed the reason behind my arrival. My mother and your mother once had an aggrement to engage our two children when they turn eighteen. Now since there is only less than a month before your daughter turns eighteen, I would like to know your thoughts regarding this matter”
Before Mrs. Rao could speak, Mr. Rao harrumphed coldly and said “Since it’s Mr.Mo who want to know, isn’t it only right if you present your thought first?”
Feeling that Mr. Rao made some sense, Mr.Mu revealed his thought “I would like to break the aggrement”
Hearing that Mrs. Rao frowned inwardly but still looked calm as she asked “May I know the reason?”
“I will not hide the truth since you will know it sooner or later. My son is in love with a girl and has decided to marry her. So on behalf of my son, I would like to cancel this engagement” Mr. Mu answered honestly
Hearing that the other person wanted to break off the engagement, Mr. Rao stood up in rage and yelled “What! How dare he reject my daughter. Who the hell does he think he is....this Ba-mmmm” before Mr. Rao could curse, Mrs. Rao hurriedly pulled him down and shut his mouth forcefully.
Afraid that her husband might misspeak, Mrs. Rao lowered her voice and whispered gently “Hubby, calm down. The girl Mr. Mu is refering to might be our daughter”
Recalling that his daughter was actually in a relationship with that brat, Mr. Rao furrowed.
Seeing that Mr. Rao had calmed down, Mrs. Rao turned to Master Mu to speak calmly “May I know which family daughter she is?”
“I will be frank with you, she comes from an ordinary family” Mr. Mu replied
Raising her eyebrows in surprise, Mrs. Rao said “How surprising to see the top wealthy family accept an ordinary women as their daught-in-law. Isn’t Mr.Mu afraid that we might harm the girl?”
“Since the Mu family is ready to accept her as our daughter-in-law, we will naturally protect her. Now that you already know, i would like to know what is your opinion” Mr. Mu asked in a poised manner
“What if the Rao family doesn’t want to break the engagement?” Mrs. Rao asked with a smile
“Then I don’t have other choice but to offend the Rao family” Mr. Mu spoke in a dignified manner.
“The Mu family is willing to offend the Rao family just for a mere girl?” Mrs. Rao asked curiously
“Not for the girl but for my son. She is the one My son has decided to spend the rest of his life and Iam very confident in his choices. As long as marrying her would make my son happy, I don’t mind offending even the world” Mr. Mo said coldly
Hearing his words, a faint smile appeared on Mrs. Rao’s face. ‘The Mu’s were not bad’ she thought inwardly. Before Mrs. Rao could speak her decidion, Mr. Rao hurrumphed childishly and said “Fine-fine, lets’ break the engagement. Once the engagement is broken, ask your son to stay away from my daughter. Even if he comes crying in regret, there is no way we will accept him~” at last Mr. Rao’s words turned weak when Mrs. Rao glared at him.
Looking at Mr. Rao who was as meek as a rat in front of his family, Mr. Mu was pleasuntly surprise but the next moment he nodded in understanding since he was also at the place once upon a time.
Glaring at her husband who was messing up things, Mrs. Rao turn to Mr. Mu with a kind smile and said “I’m sorry Mr. Mu but I can’t make a decision on this since its related to my duaghters future”
before Mr. Mu could frown, he heard Mrs. Rao say “How about this? Why don’t we set up a date so that our children can meet and know each other before taking further decision?”
Though Mr. Mu knew his son wouldn’t agree, he was aware that this was the greateast concession the Rao family could make. Forcing them further might offend them.
After thinking it through, Mr. Mu finally agreed to Mrs. Rao’s ideas and set the date on the weekened.
