Chapter 14 Invitation
"Victor, have you decided to break off the engagement?" - Chu Yuechan asked seriously.
"If you were forced to, we're still able to turn back and pretend it was just a joke."
Just at that moment Mu Bing Yun returned with two cups of tea, hearing her mother trying to talk Victor out of breaking off the engagement made her slightly gloomy, Mu Bing Yun knew how her mother tried to find a good husband for her, and she found Victor in the process. But alas, she did not like him at all, as she hated his attitude. But soon she heard Victor's words, and she relaxed.
"Sister Yuechan, I thought long and hard about this and came to the conclusion that we are not right for each other. That's putting it mildly of course, marriage won't happen just because the bride was forced on me, not only I don't want that but also Mu Bing Yun doesn't want to. Mu Bing Yun is a good woman, so I am sure she will soon have another suitor, much better than me. Marriage is an important event for two people, so it would be too unreasonable to impose it."
By saying these words Victor was not trying to lie neither was he saying them only because he wanted to break up his engagement with Mu Bing Yun, he really believed that if there was no love in a marriage it would soon fall apart, so he would be an idiot if he agreed to proceed with the marriage.
"Marriage is an important event for two people... isn't it?" Chu Yuechan thought for a few seconds, as if recalling something from her past. But soon she came to her senses and said with a slight smile:
"I am a little surprised by your profound words, as I did not expect to hear them from such a young man, I will not discourage you. Since you are so determined, your sister will no longer try to keep the engagement."
'Successful,' Victor squeezed his hand lightly, the breakup of the engagement happened rather quickly and smoothly, now he won't be bothered just because he has a beautiful girl by his side.
Just noticing that Mu Bing Yun had returned she looked at her coldly and said:
"You really went blind, it was a blessing for you to marry Victor, but you... You just…"
Before she could finish, she heard Mu Bing Yun's angry voice:
"No matter how good he is, I don't like him. Even ugly people are a thousand times more beautiful than him."
At her words Victor frowned slightly, he was uncomfortable with the way she scolded him regardless of whether he was in presence. Despite all his past lives, whatever they were, he had never allowed anyone to humiliate himself without him hitting back.
For example, in the case of his ex-girlfriend, after she scammed him of all his money, he soon repaid her with an explosive gift, and here too, even though he was now weak he was thinking of getting back at her soon, for such words.
"No, she's just a silly girl," Victor shook his head slightly, putting the thought out of his mind, for all she wanted was to get rid of him as much as he did of her. So it would be too silly to hold a grudge about it. He completely ignored her words as if she hadn't even said them.
But, Chu Yuechan couldn't ignore it.
"Bing Yun, shut up!" - Chu Yuechan shouted coldly, which made Mu Bing Yun shudder because she didn't expect her mother to get so angry that she would yell at her own daughter.
'Is he more important to her than her own daughter,' Mu Bing Yun thought angrily, looking at Victor with a piercing gaze.
Looking at their family squabble Victor sighed slightly and did not try to intervene even though she stared at him as if she wanted to pierce him with her gaze. Even though it all started because of him he did not plan to interfere in the quarrel of mother and daughter, so he listened silently to their quarrel.
"I have to go now." - Only after they stopped arguing did Victor say anything.
The engagement was broken and he had overstayed his welcome, so he didn't want to stay here anymore, but go back home and start cultivating. Victor knew he was too weak now, and he could die at any moment.
"Ah?" - said Chu Yuechan suddenly.
'He's leaving already…' She thought gloomily, Chu Yuechan didn't understand why she didn't want to part with Victor, it was very pleasant to communicate with him, you could tell that being around him made her feel happy.
"Can you visit our clan again tomorrow?" - Replied Chu Yuechan, she knew how strange it would look, but she didn't care, she decided that tomorrow would be the last time she would see him before she forgot about him forever.
"Tomorrow?" Victor raised an eyebrow slightly; he had always considered women to be the most irrational creatures and now reiterated Chu Yuechan's point.
"Why?"
"Tomorrow is the Mu Clan's banquet, so I would like to see you there, even though you and Mu Bing Yun broke off your engagement the guests might think that there is animosity between the Yang and Mu Clans, so you should be there to prove otherwise." - answered Chu Yuechan but it was unclear from her words whether she was telling the truth or not, as Victor clearly felt that she was not telling the whole truth, but Victor did not pay attention to it.
"M-mama!"
"Okay, I'll be at the banquet tomorrow, but not for long, because I plan to go to a closed training session."
Victor had to agree looking at the way Chu Yuechan's face blushed slightly, he was surprised that a woman like her could suddenly blush at ordinary words and looking at her cute side he decided to agree.
After these words, he left the Mu clan.
"Mom, why do you want him to come to our banquet tomorrow?" - With a suspicious look, Mu Bing Yun asked.
"Just so the clans understand that we are not in a bad relations and that between the two clans there is no war."
After her words, Mu Bing Yun stared at her piercingly for a while trying to figure out if she was lying or not, but soon she thought she was just imagining her mother's strange behavior.
But, Chu Yuechan was stunned in her mind.
'Why did I invite him?' She lied about dignity; it was all complete nonsense, for she could not say that she liked Victor and wanted to spend a bit more time with him before she discarded him.
She knew he was only a junior, younger than her daughter, which was absurd. Especially since she had a husband, but just the thought of him made the corners of her lips curl contemptuously; he was the very person she hated.
After leaving the Mu Clan, Victor went back to his room as it was already nighttime and he needed to prepare for tomorrow, when suddenly he heard a sound in his head.
