Maid's Diary: Devil Master, Please Behave - Chapter 101
Chapter 101 Annulment
Autumn was cold, and it rained all night. Mu Nan had just returned to Qingkong Mansion from school when he was shivering from the cold.
“Xiaonan, Young Master wants you to drive to Baijiazhuang Garden to pick him up.” Mrs. Zhang said gently, and the Caucasus, who was sleepy and begging for food, crawled beneath her feet.
Mu Nan nodded his head. He was ready to go alone and the three of them would return.
As the weather turned cold, Mu Nan wore a thin black coat, grey leather boots, and messy fingers to cut his hair to get ready to go out. Seeing that there was no one around, Mama Zhang grabbed Mu Nan’s arm and asked softly, “Little Nan, something’s wrong with you recently. Did something happen to you? Tell Mama Zhang.”
Mu Nan was stunned for a moment and thought about his recent behavior-it was very normal, and he didn’t lose his soul just because he cut off his emotions.
Zhang Ma looked at Mu Nan’s expression and continued, “Recently, Young Master has been eating at home, and I haven’t seen you at the table with him. Tell Zhang Ma, did you have a conflict with Young Master recently?”
After all, Mu Nan was someone who had been here before. Although he had been smiling happily every day recently, the occasional blurry look in his eyes was still noticed by Mu Nan.
‘”No–” Mu Nan habitually grinned and comforted Zhang Ma’s arm. “I’m just a little assistant. How can I sit in front of Gu Yu Ze to eat every day? Besides, he’ll have to bring Bai Ruyun to eat with him in the future. How inappropriate would it be for me to go up there?”
Aunt Zhang raised her eyebrows doubtfully. Her old wrinkles formed lines. She always felt that Xiao Nan was not as close to the young master as before.
“Xiao Nan, don’t think too much … Young Master treats you very special.” Mrs. Zhang choked. If it weren’t for Bai Ruyun’s return, Mrs. Zhang really doubted whether Young Master had feelings for Xiao Nan.
Raising his head, Mu Nan had already left. He waved goodbye high up and the Caucasus wagged its black tail happily behind Munan. The sky was clear and the youth’s back gradually disappeared from the green leaves.
Aunt Zhang sighed.
She had always thought that Xiao Nan liked Young Master, but now, it didn’t seem like that was the case.
—
This is her room.
After three years of isolation, everything was as it had been before, and there was not a single speck of dust left behind.
There was no sunshine today, and the coldness of early autumn fell on the white railing window lattice, sending a sweet scent of the sea breeze.
Her toes stepped on the snow-white cashmere carpet, warmly stroking her toes. On the wall hung her paintings, her court dress, and her golden curls hanging by her ears.
She walked into the huge wardrobe and, under the respectful and envious gazes of the maids, her fair fingertips drew gorgeous clothes, and the exquisite embroidery on them outlined her favourite rose totem.
She sat quietly in front of the dressing-table, the girl in the mirror had clear brows, and her pale, sickly face had a seductive charm-she was still beautiful, she thought.
“Young miss, Master has sent someone to call you over. He has already talked to Young Master Gu.” The maid bowed respectfully. Facing this miss of the Bai Clan who had not seen her for three years, the maid was both shocked and delighted.
Another young maid was very considerate and hurriedly said, “Congratulations, Miss. Young Master Gu must be talking about the marriage. Perhaps next month, the Bai Clan will be preparing for the engagement ceremony.”
Bai Ruyun curled her lips, her heart filled with joy. She casually waved her hand and said, “Go down, I’ll tidy it up. It’ll take a long time.”
The maids smiled and left. Bai Ruyun took out a comb and makeup, carefully tracing it and outlining the exquisite makeup.
Her eyes were still a little red and swollen. That was the mark she left when she hugged Gu Yu and cried bitterly last night. Yes, she needed an appropriate time to recover her memories, and she also needed an appropriate time to examine Gu Yu’s Ze’s intentions.
To her relief, these three years of suffering had not been in vain. Gu Yu Ze was willing to hug her, appease her, and even stay in front of her bed all night … This was something she had never dared to imagine before.
After fifteen years of childhood, Bai Ruyun knew that this person’s heart was frozen. Beneath his unruly face was a ruthless face that no one could touch.
However, it was all worth it. Bai Ruyun couldn’t help but laugh. His mind was already filled with flowers, churches, and sacred bells.
She would wear the most beautiful wedding dress, marry the best in the most beautiful church.
Yu Guang inadvertently swept his gaze and found an icy cold figure reflected in the mirror. He leaned against the wall and looked at himself expressionlessly.
Bai Ruyun was first shocked, then he suddenly turned around and scolded in a loud voice, “Bai Shan! Who allowed you to casually enter my bedroom? Do you really think you’re my brother?”
She did not like White Mountain, and even hated it. The man who emitted a dangerous aura from the inside out was like a pitch-black marble pressing down on her heart. Her cold, pitch-black eyes could always see through her disguise, as if a dormant beast was going to tear her throat at any time and anywhere.
Bai Shan said disdainfully, “I am here to see your current spring breeze and see the end of your foolish deeds.”
Bai Ruyun tidied her temples and flicked her long fingernails as she looked at the unrelated big brother mockingly, “Stupid? You will use these inhuman eyes to look at the world. This young miss is going to marry someone I like for more than ten years. When the wedding comes, don’t come and ruin the scene.”
Bai Shan sneered and faintly spat out two words, “Stupid.”
What was even more stupid was that even his father agreed with Bai Ruyun’s plan. What kind of bitter plot was there to plot against Gu Yuze? They had underestimated Gu Yuze’s temperament… let alone Mu Nan.
“As long as I can marry Gu Yu Ze, I am willing to give up on anything, even if I have to pretend to be a lady for the rest of my life.” Bai Ruyun stood up and brushed her pink and white skirt across the cashmere carpet. She walked to Bai Shan’s side and said, “I warn you, it’s best to guard your mouth.”
Only a few people knew about her fraudulent death, but they were most worried about this cold and indifferent White Mountain.
Bai Shan lowered his head and locked his eyes on the beautiful and ruthless rich lady, “Of course I won’t tell anyone-I even thank you for letting me find a little pet.”
Bai Ruyun did not understand what he was talking about as a pet. She raised her proud head and walked past the White Mountain like a swan into her ideal world.
Classical and elegant living room, white like clouds and butterflies. Seeing Gu Yu Ze shake hands with his father, Bai Shanzheng, he couldn’t help but feel delighted. It seemed that an agreement had been reached!
Great, she can finally get his heart, get him!
Gu Yu Ze went out and happened to meet Bai Ruyun. Gu Yu Ze nodded coldly at her and said, “Sorry, I’ll leave first.”
The smile at the corner of Bai Ruyun’s mouth froze–sorry? Why did Brother Ze apologize to me? As Bai Ruyun watched the tall figure leave, he turned his head doubtfully and tugged at the corner of Bai Shanzheng’s clothes. “Dad, how was the marriage? I’m already an adult. According to the laws of Saint Hua, I can get married.”
Unexpectedly, Bai Shanzheng’s eyes, which were hidden under the golden rim of his glasses, swayed. He looked at his daughter, who he had not seen for a long time, comfortably and said, “Little girl, these three years have been difficult for you.”
Bai Ruyun hurriedly shook his head and a strange panic surged into his heart. “No, no, no, I’m not tired. Dad, how was the wedding? What do you think? Is Brother Ze here to discuss the marriage?”
Bai Shanzheng: “Our Bais industry has 5% more SE International Group shares-your engagement to Young Master Gu is null and void.”
5% of SE International Group shares, the lucrative profits enough to make any big business jealous, a marriage contract before the huge profits are so thin that even the air is inferior.
Void…
Bai Ruyun’s heart instantly fell into the ice valley. Her beautiful eyes widened and she grabbed her father’s sleeve with both hands. She almost snapped her long fingernails. She almost hysterically said, “Stock? I don’t want stock, I want Brother Ze! Dad, why did you do this! I hid it for three years, not for some shitty stock!”
“Little girl, listen to me. It’s not that Father doesn’t think for you. It’s really Young Master Gu who doesn’t recognize this engagement!”
“You lied to me! Big Brother Ze took good care of me for half a month. Don’t you like me? Don’t you feel guilty for me?” Bai Ruyun’s eyes turned red, and his face was almost twisted. “It’s you, isn’t it you! You deliberately asked Brother Ze to cancel the engagement for the sake of the family’s interests, didn’t you?”
Bai Shanzheng gave the guard a look. The guard expressionlessly pulled Bai Ruyun away, allowing her leather boots to kick on the floor.
“Let go of me… Dad, you’re lying!”
Bai Shanzheng turned around coldly. Heartbreak and pity appeared on his aged face. This world was the world of young people. They were already old.
Bai Shanzheng’s indifferent and arrogant voice echoed in his ears, knocking on his heart word by word.
“5% of SE International Group shares, annul the engagement.”
“This… Yuze ah, my girl likes you so much, these three years of bitterness–”
“So, I used a huge amount of shares as compensation.”
No one dared to disobey him. Only now did Bai Shanzheng see clearly that the youth was not someone who could be played with deception. He was a god who looked down on everything from above. He was not only the successor of SE International Group, but also the founder of the Imperial Group hidden in the shadows.
How could a person like Gu Yu Ze care about such a small affair?
—
Mu Nan sped along the way. Just as the sports car landed at the entrance of the Baijiazhuang Garden, Gu Yu Ze’s figure happened to be leisurely escorted over by a pile of guards.
After a long distance, Mu Nan could still smell the arrogant and tender smell of this fellow, mixed with the scum aura of cologne. This forced act had a good appearance.
Gu Yuze was leaning his head to talk to the lawyer when he saw Mu Nan Qingjun’s small figure. The corner of his lips curled up. This brat’s efficiency seemed to have improved a lot recently-should he be paid in advance again?
Mu Nan opened the door swiftly. With a simple movement, his black leather boots landed on the ground and his coat collar retracted. Everyone in the surroundings felt the powerful aura of Young Assistant Gu. The heat caused the flowers and weeds to ripple endlessly.
Mu Nan watched as the guards disappeared. Among them, a short and fat lawyer turned around and looked at her with his thieving eyes. He was astonished and then walked away with small steps.
The lawyer thought to himself, no wonder Gu Shao would rather use a huge amount of shares as a price to divorce the beautiful Miss Bai. It turned out that there was such a beautiful young man beside him. Tsk tsk tsk, look at this handsome appearance, look at this aura, what a beautiful young man ~ In this world, even gods would be bent.
Mu Nan was scared by the lawyer. After a while, he whispered, “Young Master, why didn’t you see your fianc é e? Auntie Zhang cooked delicious food tonight. I just finished making up the homework you owe me, so why didn’t I see Miss Bai?”
Gu Yuze was in a good mood and sat in the passenger seat. Seeing that Mu Nan was still rolling his black-and-white eyes outside the car door and was “fianc é e” and “Miss Bai” one by one, he instantly said with some displeasure, “What are you fooling around for? Come in, drive.”
Munan murmured. The Baijiazhuang Garden was classic and elegant. The flowers and plants grew in clusters near the blue sea, and there were clusters of white roses in the green fence-but they didn’t see the white cloud.
Confused, Mu Nan obediently prepared to get into the car. As a result, there was a dripping sound of high heels on the ground behind him.
“Brother Ze! Wait a moment!”
This voice was so infectious and shocking that Mu Nan was stunned on the spot. Before he could react, his body was pushed away by someone. Fortunately, Mu Nan’s children’s shoes were good, otherwise, she would have tasted the smell of Bais soil…
At some unknown time, Bai Ruyun, who was dressed in a pink dress, ran over and supported the car door. He looked at Gu Yu Ze with tears in his eyes.
“Brother Ze, you’re angry with me, aren’t you? That’s why you purposely said that you want to cancel the engagement.”
Mu Nan narrowly managed to stabilize himself, but when he heard this, he almost fell to the ground again.
What did she hear just now, annulment? ? ?
It can’t be!
Gu Yu Ze saw Mu Nan stabilize his body and didn’t fall, so he frowned slightly. He turned his head and looked at Bai Ruyun calmly, “I haven’t acknowledged this engagement from the beginning. The compensation has been delivered. I hope that you won’t–”
“I don’t! I don’t want any stupid shares!” Bai Ruyun shook his head painfully, and his sparkling tears fell one after another. I felt pity for the pear blossoms and the rain. “Brother Ze, I’ve been dreaming about you these past three years.” I know there’s someone waiting for me, I’m also waiting for that person. Fortunately, I’m finally back. God knows how happy I was when I saw you walking towards me from the crowd that day! “I know you are the person I waited for for three years. How can you measure my feelings in terms of money!”
The girl was too frightened. Her fingertips tightly clenched the car door. Her carefully dressed fingernails were almost broken. Tears fell to the ground one after another. Her helpless cries sobbed along with the sea breeze. Mu Nan couldn’t bear to hear it.
What he didn’t know was that he thought it was the scene where Chen Shimei abandoned his wife.
Gu Yu Ze calmly looked at the young girl who was close by and said with a thin lip, “You should know me. I wanted to cancel this engagement three years ago, but now it’s just a delay.”
“I won’t listen! I don’t believe it! Big Brother Ze, you must be lying to me, right? You’ve been accompanying me and taking care of me every day these days. Is it all fake?”
Gu Yu Ze remained silent for a while. Under Bai Ruyun’s expectant gaze, he said indifferently, “You know, this Young Master has never liked to owe anyone.”
He only cared for her in her illness because he didn’t want to owe her.
With a glance, Gu Yu Ze stared at Mu Nan who was in a daze and angrily said, “What are you looking at? Why aren’t you driving? This Young Master is starving to death. Let’s go home and eat!”
“Oh…”
