Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

At noon they found a random restaurant to eat.

While waiting for the meal to be served, Hua Xi suddenly took out a gold card and handed it to Hua Chaochao, "This card is for you."

Hua Chaochao was excited and asked why, "Why did you give me the card?"

"I think you like it, and I don't need it." Hua Xi said frankly.

She really didn't need to use the gold card. She didn't need to prove her identity with anything. The gold card was forced upon her by the founder of Muse.

There is no use keeping the gold card with her, so it would be better to give it to Hua Chaochao.

This is what Hua Xi thought.

……

Dinner was ready, and Hua's father and mother, who had been out, returned to the Hua residence.

Hua's father, Hua Luchuan, will bring up the matter of transferring the engagement at the dinner table later.

It's actually not quite appropriate to say "transfer". The original marriage contract between the Hua and Yi families was between Hua Chaochao and Yi Mu. This was arranged since they were in the womb. Before, they didn't know that the child was taken away by mistake, so they put the marriage contract on Hua Xi. Now that Hua Chaochao is back, it's time to correct the "mistake".

Originally, this matter should not have been mentioned so soon. It was only the second day after Hua Chaochao was found. The main reason why Hua Luchuan was so anxious to correct the engagement now was because of Hua Xi and Yi Mu themselves.

Hua Luchuan and Huo Siqing have seen how they have been getting along over the years, and they have not seen any affection between them at all. Let alone letting them get married in the future, it would be good enough if they could stay in the same space without fighting.

Speaking of fighting, we have to mention the time when Yi Mu's parents were still alive.

After giving birth to her second child, Huo Siqing was in poor health and could not take care of the child, so Yi Mu's mother helped take care of Hua Xi most of the time before she was eight years old.

The two were still children at the time, and they often fought when Yi's mother was not around.

Their personalities were formed at a very young age, and they are all very strong-willed, which leads to the fact that no one of them will submit to the other. Because they are young and have not learned to be calm, fights often occur between them over the slightest disagreement.

The two fought until they were eight years old, and the fight only stopped when Yi Mu's parents died unexpectedly. After that, Hua Xi was personally disciplined by Huo Siqing, and Yi Mu refused to be adopted by the Hua family and locked himself up at home. He was locked up for a long time before returning to normal life.

Their relationship was not good before, let alone later. Hua Luchuan had wanted to find a time to dissolve their marriage, but now that Hua Chaochao is back, Hua Luchuan has rekindled hope. He thought that just because Yi Mu and Hua Xi couldn't get along, it didn't mean he couldn't get along with Hua Chaochao either.

His idea was to let the two children get along first. If it didn't work out in the end, he would respect the children's wishes, cancel the engagement between the two families, and never mention it again in the future.

The Hua family is used to eating first and talking later, so at this moment the only sound that can be heard is the sound of chopsticks hitting the porcelain bowl.

Hua Chaochao couldn't sit still, so she went to chat with the troublemaker.

"Xiaodan, do you think I should agree directly or should I decline politely before agreeing?"

The Trickster didn't quite understand Hua Chaochao's question. What's the difference between these two options? However, it gave Hua Chaochao another choice: "In fact, you don't have to follow the same path as the original owner. You can refuse, and it won't affect the main plot."

Although there is not much description of Yi Mu in the book, and his role can be regarded as a named supporting character, it can be seen that he is a cold-hearted person. In the end, he remained indifferent when his nominal fiancée "Hua Chaochao" was driven crazy and jumped off the building.

It doesn't matter whether the engagement exists or not, so the troublemaker suggested that Hua Chaochao refuse it.

"No, I want to agree." Hua Chaochao rejected the troublemaker's suggestion.

Troublemaker: "Are you in love with him?"

That’s not possible. Although Yi Mu is indeed handsome, the host is not such a superficial person, so it is definitely not because of his face.

After less than a day of getting along, the troublemaker thought he already knew Hua Chaochao well enough.

"Not really." Hua Chaochao answered, "But it's almost the same. After all, his face is just as good as the male lead's. They are both handsome and pleasing to the eyes. It would make me happy to have him around."

In fact, there was another reason she didn't say, which was that she felt Yi Mu was not as simple as he seemed.

This was not a sudden impulse, she had this feeling when she was reading the book. Besides, she was always very accurate in judging people. There was something hidden about Yi Mu, and it was not a small matter. Unfortunately, the author did not write it down, so she had no way of knowing.

Hua Chaochao was transported into the book by accident. She thought of the man who had made her scratch her head and unable to sleep for several nights. She was determined to dig out all the secrets of Yi Mu that the author had not written down!

Being Yi Mu's fiancée would save her a lot of trouble in the digging process, so she should get married!

"As long as you... are happy." The troublemaker felt a little tired.

Hua Chaochao is the most unpredictable host it has ever encountered since its birth. When you think you know her well enough, she can suddenly change direction and bring you back to your original form.

When everyone had almost finished eating, Hua Luchuan spoke up: "While everyone is here today, I want to ask for your opinions on something."

"You say, Dad." Hua Yu straightened up and said.

The others also turned to look at Hua Luchuan.

"Chao Chao," Hua Luchuan's eyes fell on Hua Chao Chao, "this matter is related to you. In fact, your mother and I had arranged a marriage for you before you were born."

Hua Chaochao tilted her head and pretended not to understand, "What? Dad."

"It's Xiao Mu. You two should have known each other. You two are engaged." Hua Luchuan didn't mean to mention Hua Xi. He was afraid that Hua Chaochao would misunderstand that Hua Xi didn't want her and that's why she got her.

The others understood too, so they tacitly agreed not to say a word.

Hua Chaochao glanced at Yi Mu after hearing this, then said obediently: "I know, Dad."

However, Hua Chaochao's well-behaved appearance hurt Hua Luchuan. He wished his daughter could be more willful and not be so obedient.

"Chao Chao," Hua Luchuan said with a little sob in his voice, "If you don't want to accept it, just say it. Dad will understand you."

Hua Chaochao saw Hua Luchuan looking at her with pity, and she felt bad.

[Oh my god, am I pretending too much...]

It seems that pretending to be too pitiful is not a good idea, as it will make people think that she is being wronged.

"I accept it, Dad." Hua Chaochao quickly made amends, "I respect your and Mom's decision."

Yi Mu was sitting diagonally opposite Hua Chaochao. Although he had half of the marriage contract, he reacted like an outsider. He put his hands in his pockets and leaned lazily on the backrest. He didn't show any intention of opening his mouth to speak the whole time.

Hua Chaochao felt that she couldn't bear this matter alone, so she shifted the topic from herself to Yi Mu, "Dad, have you asked Yi Mu?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's attention immediately turned to Yi Mu.

Yi Mu: “…”

"Amu, the same goes for you. If you don't want to, just tell me. Don't keep it in your heart." Hua Luchuan treats all children equally. If one of them doesn't accept it, he will cancel the engagement immediately.

Yi Mu slowly sat up and said, "I'm not unwilling. I'll listen to Uncle Hua."

Since his parents passed away, the Hua family has been the only ones who treated him like their own family, so he respects Hua Luchuan and Huo Siqing very much, and he would not refuse anything they asked him to do, including this marriage proposal.

For Yi Mu, he will only care about one thing in his life, and he will not take anything else to heart. It makes no difference whether his fiancée is Hua Xi or Hua Chaochao, he does not like and will not like either of them.

Hua Luchuan breathed a sigh of relief after getting Yi Mu's answer. Since both children did not refuse, it meant there was still a chance.
