Looking at Ning Zhegang's expression, Mu Wanzhen understood that she had made the right bet just now. Mu Ningxi did not mention this to Ning Zhegang.

Although it was a gamble, Mu Wanzhen was still very confident. After all, the engagement between Mu Ningxi and Meng Tianbo had always been arranged by Grandpa Mu and Grandpa Meng, and it was impossible for Mu Ningxi to know all the details.

Meng Tianbo has always disliked Mu Ningxi, which is something Meng Tianbo himself admitted. What she said now can't be considered as deceiving Ning Zhegang at all.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Ning Zhegang had no intention of speaking, Mu Wanzhen continued, "Back then, after your sister and brother-in-law died in a car accident, Ning Xi was taken away by her grandfather, my brother."

"As Ning Xi grows older, my brother wants to find a good in-law for her. That way, when my brother passes away, Ning Xi will have someone to take care of her."

"My brother told this idea to his best friend, Mr. Meng, and wanted him to help him find a suitable candidate for Ning Xi. Mr. Meng took the initiative to recommend his grandson Meng Tianbo."

"Meng Tianbo and Ning Xi are of similar age and have good family backgrounds. My brother agreed immediately and quickly arranged for Ning Xi and Meng Tianbo to get engaged. They did this without considering the wishes of the two children at all."

Mu Wanzhen didn't say what came next, but Ning Zhegang knew that Meng Tianbo agreed to get engaged to Mu Ningxi just because of his grandfather's instructions, and he had no feelings for Mu Ningxi at all.

"But even if that's the case, the boy from the Meng family could have proposed to break up the engagement with Ning Xi in person, instead of secretly getting together with Mu Xin'er and making Ning Xi sad."

Although he knew that Meng Tianbo had no feelings for Mu Ningxi, Ning Zhegang still could not accept him betraying Mu Ningxi.

"Who told you that Tianbo was secretly hooking up with Xin'er? He was planning to ask Mu Ningxi to break off the engagement, but his grandfather didn't agree, so the matter has been delayed for so long."

Liu Yunzhi lost her composure when she heard Ning Zhegang slandering her daughter.

At the side, Mu Wanzhen cleared her throat, which made Liu Yunzhi shut up.

"Zhegang, we know that Xin'er is sorry for Ning Xi, but what Yunzhi just said is not without reason. Relationships cannot be forced. If it weren't for my brother and Mr. Meng's insistence, Meng Tianbo would never agree to be engaged to Ning Xi. If anyone is to blame for this, it can only be those two old guys."

Mu Wanzhen blamed all the mistakes on Grandpa Mu and Grandpa Meng.

"Let's not talk about this matter for now. Let's talk about why you forced Ning Xi to marry Liu Wenbo. Don't you know who he is? By doing this, aren't you pushing Ning Xi into the fire pit?"

Ning Zhegang glanced at Mu Wanzhen and Liu Yunzhi, and finally set his sights on Liu Yunzhi, and asked in a cold tone.

Frightened by Ning Zhegang's cold eyes, Liu Yunzhi lowered his head guiltily.

"We did something wrong about this matter, Zhegang. On behalf of the Mu family, I apologize to you and Ning Xi." Mu Wanzhen responded after glancing at Liu Yunzhi who lowered his head.

Feeling Mu Wanzhen's gaze from the corner of his eye, Liu Yunzhi instantly raised his head and looked at Ning Zhegang and said, "This is entirely my fault. It has nothing to do with my aunt. I was obsessed for a while and thought that I could get some benefits by relying on the Liu family, so I thought of letting Ning Xi marry Liu Wenbo."

"My aunt was recuperating in another city at the time. She had no idea of ​​the truth of the matter. She helped to persuade Ning Xi, but I deceived her. After she learned about Liu Wenbo's character, she scolded me and told me not to do such foolish things again."

"If you want to blame someone, blame me, don't blame your aunt."

You're pretty sensible.

Hearing Liu Yunzhi say this, Mu Wanzhen praised in her heart.

Mu Wanzhen had long thought that Ning Zhegang would definitely ask about this matter, so she found Liu Yunzhi, and the two of them played the good cop and the bad cop respectively.

From Liu Yunzhi's reaction just now, Mu Wanzhen thought that he had forgotten about the plan in panic. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Liu Yunzhi still followed Mu Wanzhen's previous instructions and finished speaking.

After listening to Liu Yunzhi's words, Ning Zhegang said nothing. At this time, he was a little confused and didn't know who he should believe.

Seeing Ning Zhe hesitate at first, Mu Wanzhen realized that the double act she and Liu Yunzhi had just done had worked, and Mu Wanzhen continued:

"Zhegang, if you still don't believe it, you can go out and ask around to see if Liu Wenbo has stopped bothering Ning Xi."

Although Mu Wanzhen didn't know why Liu Wenbo changed his mind and stopped pestering Mu Ningxi, she still planned to use this opportunity to make her case more convincing.

Based on Mu Wanzhen's understanding of Mu Ningxi, the reason why Liu Wenbo no longer caused trouble for Mu Ningxi was not entirely due to her own ability, but thanks to Cheng Jingjing who was by Mu Ningxi's side.

Mu Wanzhen watched Mu Ningxi grow up, and she thought she knew him very well. Apart from Cheng Jingjing, Mu Wanzhen didn't believe there would be any other noble person around Mu Ningxi.

As for Cheng Jingjing, Mu Wanzhen always thought that she was just a mistress kept by someone. Even if Liu Wenbo was really afraid of Cheng Jingjing and did not dare to harass Mu Ningxi again.

But with Cheng Jingjing's identity, even if Ning Zhegang asked Mu Ningxi now, Mu Wanzhen believed that Mu Ningxi would not reveal Cheng Jingjing.

After all, being kept by someone is not a long-term solution. If Cheng Jingjing really admits that she was the one who hired someone to deal with Liu Wenbo, then when she leaves that person, there is no guarantee that Liu Wenbo will not deal with her.

Mu Wanzhen knew clearly that Mu Ningxi would never do such a thing as betraying a friend.

"You mean you should negotiate with Liu Wenbo and ask him to let Ning Xi go?" Ning Zhegang asked back in disbelief, staring into Mu Wanzhen's eyes.

Mu Wanzhen nodded and said frankly: "It's me. Ning Xi is my granddaughter. How could I watch her marry a scumbag like that?"

"Zhegang, the misunderstanding between Ning Xi and us is too deep. This time, while you are back, I want you to invite Ning Xi and take the opportunity to resolve the misunderstanding between us."

Seeing that the time had come, Mu Wanzhen put forward her request.

An hour later, when Mu Ningxi received a call from Ning Zhegang and the other party relayed Mu Wanzhen's words to her on the phone, Mu Ningxi cursed in her heart: Mu Wanzhen, Liu Yunzhi, you are so despicable!

On the other end of the phone, Ning Zhegang was still urging Mu Ningxi to express her opinion: "Ningxi, what do you think? I think your aunt and second aunt are really sincere. There is no overnight hatred among family members. Come over and meet them and resolve the misunderstanding in person."
