Chapter 185 Dongfang Family Leaves Angry
Chapter 185 Dongfang Family Leaves Angry
"Wait, Mr. Mu, are you kidding? When we arranged the marriage, it was your Mu family that begged our Dongfang family!"
When Dongfang Mo heard what Mr. Mu said, his eyes narrowed immediately.
"You, the Mu family, can get married or divorced whenever you want. Aren't you showing too little respect to our Dongfang family?"
"I don't mean to look down on the Dongfang family, but my daughter really doesn't want to do it, so I can only resort to this last resort!"
Mr. Mu was not at all flustered, he just spoke calmly.
"How ridiculous! Parents' orders and matchmaker's words! It has been like this since ancient times, and it is still like this today! How can a girl from an aristocratic family make her own decisions?
There is no need for Mr. Mu to shirk responsibility with such a ridiculous excuse!"
Dongfang Mo was so angry that he laughed and said with a cold snort.
But at this moment, a steady and somewhat calm voice appeared in the conference room...
"Is it funny?"
"Isn't it ridiculous? Which girl from an aristocratic family can really make the decision? Not to mention..."
Dongfang Mo just turned his head to look at the direction where the voice came from, and then his words were stuck in his throat.
Luo Chen gently took a sip of the tea sent by the Mu family, and then said calmly:
"I'll be frank with you. Mu Nuxin doesn't want to get married because of me... Do you understand?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Lie's face turned pale in an instant, and he felt as if a green grassland had appeared out of thin air above his head!
"asshole!"
Dongfang Lie was so angry that he clenched his fists and veins bulged.
As early as when the Mu family came to request a marriage, he thought that Mu Nuxin was a sure thing, but he didn't expect that Luo Chen would appear halfway!
Luo Chen had been suppressing him at Mingzhu Academy, and now he was planning to steal his fiancée.
When Dongfang Mo heard what Luo Chen said, his mind was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Grandpa Mu with shock!
To be honest, Dongfang Mo didn't think the marriage between the two families was that important.
As the future heir of the Dongfang family, although Dongfang Lie cannot compare with a peerless genius like Luo Chen, he is definitely not someone who lacks marriage partners.
The reason why the Dongfang family agreed to the marriage proposal from the Mu family was simply because the Mu family was one of the four major families, and the marriage between the two families would help cooperation...
Therefore, the marriage between Mu Nuxin and Dongfang Lie is a matter concerning the two families.
It is precisely because of this that Dongfang Mo’s reaction just now was so intense!
But after Luo Chen spoke personally, Dongfang Mo instantly came to his senses.
The reason why Mu Nuxin doesn't want to get married is because of Luo Chen, which means that the Mu family has put both of their beauties on the same person!
Thinking of this, Dongfang Mo couldn't help but sigh at Mr. Mu's character and courage.
For Old Master Mu to make such a decision so easily on something that would damage the family's reputation, it was obviously because the benefits brought by Luo Chen were far greater than the benefits of marrying into the Dongfang family...
The reason why the Dongfang family was not kicked out directly but still enjoyed 20% of the profits was obviously a compromise made by the Mu family in order to cancel the engagement.
Twenty percent of the profits from a mine in exchange for the cancellation of an engagement that was only a verbal promise.
This deal is indeed a good deal...!
But... not everything can be calculated by buying and selling!
Dongfang Mo looked at Dongfang Lie, who was extremely angry at this time, and couldn't help but shook his head.
In the current circle of the noble families in the Magic City, almost everyone knows that the Mu family and the Dongfang family are about to get married. But the Mu family is now asking to cancel the engagement, and they are also asking for 20% of the profit of a fire vein as a condition. This is undoubtedly almost a humiliation to the Dongfang family!
Who doesn't know that Dongfang Lie came here just to propose marriage?
If he really agrees for the sake of profit, Dongfang Lie will probably never be able to hold his head up again, and the Dongfang family will be completely disgraced.
"Does the Mu family really treat our Dongfang family as dogs that they can do whatever they want, and give us a dog bone and ask us to do what they want?
Sorry, the Dongfang family can't do it! We don't want the 20% profit, and the marriage is completely invalidated. I just hope that your Mu family can always be so high and mighty!
Humph, let’s go…”
Dongfang Mo finally angrily left the Mu family with several elders of the Dongfang family and Dongfang Lie.
Until the very end, Dongfang Lie didn't dare to look directly into Luo Chen's eyes.
When Mr. Mu saw that the Dongfang family was about to leave, he wanted to dissuade them, but it was useless. He could only sigh helplessly...
..............................
After the Dongfang family left, Mr. Mu was silent for a while when he saw the two sisters Mu Nujiao and Mu Nuxin who walked out afterwards.
Although they are not biological sisters, they are cousins in the same family.
Now that the marriage between the two families has been officially dissolved, the news about Mu Nuxin will surely spread quickly among the aristocratic family circles...
The two beauties of the Mu family were given to the same person by the Mu family. This matter was bound to become a laughing stock in the circle of aristocratic families in Magic City.
But now, Mr. Mu does not feel ashamed at the moment. After all, compared with the damage to his reputation, Mr. Mu sees tangible benefits.
Now, the Dongfang family has voluntarily left the market, which is equivalent to giving up another 20% of the profits!
According to the equal distribution, the Mu family can get an additional 10% of the profit.
Taking over the Sun Ridge of Kunlun Mountain is a good opportunity for the Mu family to recover, and fire resources are always the most popular.
It is not as rare as the thunder type, nor as abundant as the earth and wind types. The fire type has an immediate effect and is always in short supply.
Therefore, the fire vein of the Kunlun Mountains' Sun Ridge can provide enormous help to the Mu family even if it only brings an extra 10% profit!
As for the Dongfang family’s resentment?
This is nothing to the current shepherds.
Even when there were no marriage alliances in the past, the relationship between the four major families in Magic City had never been good, it was just the same as before.
Compared to some insignificant harms, the benefits of binding with Luo Chen are obviously more important.
Old Master Mu knew very well that both Luo Chen's strength and the power behind him were beyond the imagination of ordinary families in the country.
Just losing some profits can make Luo Chen take action personally, and even have a deeper relationship with the Mu family. Mu Shan is very happy at this time.
However, little did he know that Luo Chen didn't care about this vein of minerals at all. The resources that the country gave him every once in a while were enough for Luo Chen to waste his entire life.
Money is just a number to Luo Chen right now! After all, he is now truly rich enough to rival a country!
The GDP of some small countries combined may not be as valuable as his wealth.
Compared to the dividends from a small mineral vein, Luo Chen has always been concerned about the small town in time and space far away in the Kunlun Fire Vein.
Compared to the Eye of Time and Space, the small profits and dividends from Kunlun Fire Vein are really nothing...
