"Miss... you're back..." The servant at the door saw Shen Mu and looked a little flustered.
Shen Mu nodded and walked inside, but the servant ran over and pulled her, shouting, "You can't go in!"
Shen Mu's face suddenly turned cold. "Get out of my way."
She knew that everyone in the Shen family could bully her, but she never thought that even a servant would dare to lay hands on her!
But the servant opened his arms and blocked Shen Mu's way. "Miss, Third Miss ordered that you can't go in!"
The nearby servants sneered and said, "Let her in if she wants to go in! It's not the first time she's done this. Mr. Lu doesn't want her, but she insists on chasing after him!"
"Oh, she's so ugly when she throws herself at him. If it were in our younger days, she would have been laughed at!"
"I really don't know how that deceased lady educated her. How could she be so shameless?"
These servants who had worked in the Shen family for many years were used to it. When they were bored, they would mock Shen Mu a few times. After all, Shen Mu was weak and could always be bullied, and she would never talk back.
Seeing their usual behavior, Shen Mu knew that these people had not spared her mother either. She raised her hand and slapped the servant in front of her!"Ah!" The old woman was slapped and fell to the ground, trembling. "You... you..."
The once weak and easy-to-bully Shen Mu stood in the sunlight, with sharp eyebrows and eyes like knives. "I'll only say this once. Remember it well."
"I am the young lady of the Shen family. My late mother was the wife of the Shen family's official marriage. If any of you dare to gossip, I will hit you until you remember! Do you understand?" She was imposing, scaring the timid servants who nodded repeatedly, "We understand...we understand..."
"Move aside!" Shen Mu shouted, and the servants quickly made way for her, no longer daring to stop her.
As soon as she entered the villa, she bumped into a couple in the living room, who were intimately entwined. It was none other than her younger sister Shen Qingxue and the man she loved deeply, Lu Xize.
Seeing Shen Mu, Shen Qingxue showed no embarrassment in her eyes. Instead, a hint of provocation flashed in the depths of her eyes. On the surface, she nervously adjusted her clothes and stood up with her head down, saying obediently, "Sister, you're back. It's not what you think between me and Xize..."
This explanation was obviously trying to cover up the truth, and her hesitant tone made it seem like she was the victim.
Shen Mu sarcastically watched Shen Qingxue's performance, and the silence in the living room made Shen Qingxue feel even more embarrassed.She ran up to Shen Mu from the sofa, grabbed her hand, and urgently explained, "Sister, please don't misunderstand. It's really not what you think..."
She stopped halfway through her words, looked Shen Mu up and down, and panicked, "Sister, why did you come back dressed like this? Where did you go last night?"
Lu Xize finally took a good look at Shen Mu. She was wearing a men's suit on the outside, but a short and shocking nightgown on the inside. Plus, her tired face made her look like she had spent the night outside.
His pride as a man was suddenly aroused. Shen Mu was still his fiancée in name, but she had gone out to fool around behind his back!
"Shen Mu! Where did you go last night?" Lu Xize asked with a stern face.
Shen Mu's eyes were indifferent, not at all like before when she would answer him without fail. Instead, she coldly retorted, "Strange, I didn't ask where you two went last night, why do you care about what I did?"
"Sister, I wasn't feeling well last night, so Xize took me to the hospital. Nothing happened between us, please don't misunderstand!" Shen Qingxue explained in a soft voice, pulling Shen Mu's hand.
But Shen Mu shook her off and said, "Don't touch me, you're dirty."
"Ah!" Shen Qingxue fell to the ground along with Shen Mu's hand."Xue'er!" Lu Xize immediately helped Shen Qingxue up and protected her behind him, angrily saying, "Shen Mu! Why are you so malicious! If you have any grievances, come to me!"
Shen Qingxue hid behind Lu Xize, sobbing and saying, "Sister, even if you're angry with me, you can't be so careless with yourself! How... how can you be so casual?"
She acted like a little sister who was heartbroken for her older sister's mistake. Her acting skills were wasted if she didn't go into the movie industry.
Shen Mu sneered, "Even if I'm more casual, I'm still not as bad as you who likes to steal other people's fiancés!"
Lu Xize held the distressed woman in his arms and glared at Shen Mu, "Enough! Shen Mu, let me tell you, I will only marry Xue'er in my entire life! Don't bother me anymore! Pick a time to talk to my family, and our engagement will be cancelled. We have nothing to do with each other from now on."
Shen Mu's heart throbbed uncontrollably with pain. She frowned, knowing that this was the original owner's emotions at work. She looked at the man whom the original owner had deeply loved in her memories and asked, "What's the reason?"
Lu Xize snorted coldly, "What reason do I need? It has always been your one-sided wish between us!"
"Moreover, the Luxe family is a wealthy and influential family, and the wife I want to marry is also a lady from a prestigious family. Your scarred face is so ugly, do you want to embarrass the entire Luxe family?"
Shen Mu sneered in her heart. If the original owner's memory was correct, this scar was clearly caused by the original owner blocking harm for Lu Xize in a car accident and being cut by broken glass. At that time, Lu Xize had repeatedly said that he would never dislike Shen Mu, but he had resolutely chosen Shen Qingxue in the end.
"West Ze, don't treat Sister like this..."
Shen Qingxue proudly leaned against Lu Xize's arms, provocatively looking at Shen Mu. She could imagine that with Shen Mu's infatuated and stubborn character, it would be strange if she didn't cry and make a scene today!
Everyone in the coastal city knew that the ugly daughter of the Shen family was deeply in love with Lu Xize. As long as she could be with Lu Xize, she was willing to do anything!
But Lu Xize was most annoyed by Shen Mu's entanglement. Shen Mu would lose half the battle as soon as she cried!
Shen Mu gave them a faint glance, which made Lu Xize stunned for a moment. The look was clear, cold, and even disdainful.
She nodded, "Okay, this afternoon. I'll go with you to break off the engagement."
"Big sister, please don't be sad. You... What did you say? Break off the engagement?"
Shen Qingxue's voice suddenly broke, which was not the reaction Shen Mu was supposed to have!
Wasn't she supposed to cry, make a scene, and threaten to commit suicide? Wasn't she supposed to complain about her deep affection being betrayed for years? How could she agree so cleanly and neatly?
Shen Mu nodded, "Do I need to repeat myself? This afternoon, break off the engagement, I agree."
