Chapter 640: Chapter 642: Facing Many Alone, Breakthrough into the Earth Origin Realm (Part 5)
Dongfang Jun clenched his fists tightly, slightly lowered his head, and said, “Father, your son asks to be excused.”
Heaven knows how reluctant he feels right now, but he couldn’t defy Dongfang Liang’s orders. He could only cast a gloomy glance at Mu Ruyue before heading towards the backyard.
Only after his departure did Dongfang Liang’s face reluctantly lift into a semblance of a smile. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m somewhat tired and will beg off from further hospitality. After the banquet, you may leave on your own. I will not see you out, but don’t forget the meeting that will take place in three days…”
Having said that, he didn’t wait for everyone’s response and hastily left the yard.
Mu Ruyue’s eyes were smiling. Needless to say, her mission this time had been successfully completed. After tonight’s events, the Dongfang Family had been placed at odds with other families.
This situation was greatly beneficial to her…
“Miss Mu.”
A crisp voice sounded in front of her. Mu Ruyue slowly raised her head and gazed at the girl’s somewhat pale baby face, asking lightly, “Do you need something?”
Nangong Zilan’s lips were lightly pursed, her long eyelashes slightly curling up as she spoke with a tone of gratitude, “Miss Mu, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would have been deceived by his facade to the bone.”
Mu Ruyue raised an eyebrow, “You don’t blame me for making you lose an ideal husband?”
“Ideal husband?” Nangong Zilan laughed bitterly, a hint of sorrow in her large eyes, “My ideal husband is not him. If I didn’t see through his true nature now, I would undoubtedly regret it later. So you’ve saved my future life. By the way, Miss Mu, how is Sister Xiao Yue doing now?”
Mu Ruyue looked at Nangong Zilan. She actually quite liked this woman.
“Xiao Yue is doing quite well now, having moved on from her past. Nangong Zilan, by letting go of Dongfang Jun, you will meet a better man.”
Nangong Zilan smiled faintly, “I hope… it is so.”
After this incident, how could she still wholeheartedly like a man? Who knows if that man would deceive her feelings just like Dongfang Jun did…
Mu Ruyue didn’t speak. After all, some things required her to figure out on her own; no matter how much others said, it wouldn’t be much use…
“Miss, I didn’t expect you to be from the Ouyang Family,” Gu Yingying approached gracefully, her face full of smiles as she said, “And to be so powerful. Now that Dongfang Ying has become a waste, let’s see how she continues to act arrogantly in the future.”
At this point, Gu Yingying felt the urge to throw her head back and laugh heartily.
Heaven knows how long she had waited for this day…
“She brought it upon herself,” Mu Ruyue smiled faintly and said indifferently, “I won’t give anyone a second chance! Since she didn’t cherish what she had before, then I can only deal with her this way…”
With sparkles in her eyes, Gu Yingying extended her hand, “Miss Mu, an enemy’s enemy is a friend. I hope… we can be friends during the upcoming time!”
Mu Ruyue looked at the hand stretched out in front of her and without any hesitation held it. At that moment, her expression no longer held that cold, distant aloofness but was filled with a faint smile…
Meanwhile, within a secret chamber in the rear of the Dongfang Family’s estate, Dongfang Liang pondered for a while before pushing open the door and walking in. Instantly, a man clad in green appeared before him.
