Losing control before marriage, the abstinent president becomes a clingy person

Ye Jianan straightened his back, neither humble nor arrogant, and said firmly: "It's me, that's right."

Ha! A little girl who is still wet behind the ears is so arrogant!

Chief Mu's heart was filled with contempt and disdain, but the shrewdness he had acquired from years of ups and downs in officialdom made him appear calm on the surface, with no sign of any emotional fluctuations at all.

"What is your relationship with Li Nuo? Why are you defending her like this?"

"Friends, family, and even friends who are more important than family." Ye Jianan spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and every word was clear. On the one hand, he was revealing his deep feelings for Li Nuo, and on the other hand, he was firming up his attitude to protect Li Nuo.

"Oh?" Chief Mu raised his lips with an ambiguous chuckle, "So the relationship between you two is so good that I need your permission to see her?"

Ye Jianan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a just right but alienated arc, and said softly: "You are too kind. My Nuonuo is timid and shy, and has always been afraid of contact with powerful people like you. The way you made this appointment was really too eager and reckless, so I really dare not let your people take her away like this."

"Oh, reckless?" Chief Mu's eyes suddenly became darker, like a bottomless cold pond, revealing a hint of chill. "I only wanted to find her to understand the matter between her and my youngest son. Miss Ye, are you overthinking things?"

Ye Jianan twitched his lips slightly, secretly mocking in his heart, but still maintained an impeccable polite smile on his face. That smile was like an exquisite mask, perfectly concealing his true emotions.

The atmosphere changed quietly without anyone noticing. There was a faint smell of conflict in the air, as if a spark could instantly ignite the tense atmosphere.

Gu Qishen held Ye Jianan's hand tightly, and the warmth from his palms was transmitted to her continuously, as if giving her silent but firm strength. He slowly opened his lips, his voice was low and magnetic, and every word was clear and powerful: "Except for the two of you, everyone here is Li Nuo's family. If Chief Mu has anything to say, you might as well ask it all at once in front of my family."

"She is from the Gu family?" Chief Mu stared at him suspiciously, his eyes full of deep suspicion. "As far as I know, she has divorced the second young master of the Gu family."

The woman next to him was graceful and wealthy, and her every move revealed a noble temperament engraved in her bones. At this moment, she finally couldn't hold back her emotions, and her face was filled with a bit of deliberately restrained anger: "A divorced woman is still entangled with a child who is several years younger than herself. She really has no sense of self-discipline! I was wondering why Mu Chen always stayed in Yongcheng and refused to return to the imperial capital. It turns out it was all because of Li Nuo. As Li Nuo's former in-laws, I think your family should not interfere in this matter!"

Wei Qing, who was sitting on the sofa, was so angry that his face instantly turned red. He felt a pain in his liver. He suppressed his anger and retorted: "Madam Mu, you may not know that Li Nuo and my son Gu Qiyu are now in love with each other and have a very good relationship. Madam Mu, have you ever thought about this matter? The fault itself is not with our Nuo Nuo."

On the surface, the two ladies seemed calm and composed, maintaining a dignified demeanor and speaking politely, but secretly they had already been quietly on the verge of a fight, with sparks flying when their eyes met.

Madam Mu frowned tightly: "You mean, the fault lies with Mu Chen? Is he the one who is clinging to a divorced woman?" She sneered, her laughter full of disdain.

Ha! What a joke!

His Mu family is a century-old family. In terms of money, power, and status, which one is not the best in the imperial capital? Why would he need her as a divorced wife?

Judging from what the Fourth Madam said, would she rather offend the Mu family than protect the former daughter-in-law she kicked out?

"My son is several years older than her. If she hadn't been lonely and single due to her divorce, how could they have known each other? How could Mu Chen be so obsessed with her that he wouldn't even go home?"

Mrs. Mu has been unable to sleep or eat well recently because of Mu Chen's injury, and her heart is full of resentment towards Li Nuo.

Mu Chen traveled thousands of miles to Yongcheng to pursue love, and stayed there for more than half a year. He even proposed to her by spending millions to build an ice and snow world in Switzerland, and he almost lost his life there.

Because of these things, how many people in the imperial capital secretly stabbed her in the back?

Those ugly rumors are simply unbearable to hear and are a disgrace to the family!

Wei Qing's expression suddenly became serious. As the fourth wife of the Gu family, her status and upbringing restricted her. Even if she was furious at the moment, she could not lose face in public. "Madam Mu, you should speak based on facts. It is not a good habit to make up stories and speculate on the truth of things based on your own imagination! As for the specific situation, I think it would be better for you to ask your son in person instead of arguing with my Gu family here."

Madam Mu's face darkened instantly. Mu Chen was now under house arrest and had been kneeling in the ancestral hall for several days.

If she could get the truth from him, would she still have to travel all the way to Yongcheng?

"As a mother, I know exactly what kind of person my own son is. I will naturally ask him about the specific situation, but as the person involved, Li Nuo, I must also meet him in person!"

After a moment of silence, Madam Mu continued, "We shouldn't have come to the Gu family for this matter. After all, Li Nuo is no longer a member of the Gu family. But Miss Ye seems to be meddling in too many matters and insists on taking the blame on herself! What? The head of my Mu family wants to see someone, and I need to use a sedan chair to invite him? Humph! What a big deal!"

Wei Qing responded with a cold face: "As far as I know, the truth of the matter is that Mu Chen likes Li Nuo, and the person Li Nuo has always liked is my son Gu Qiyu."

"This is just your one-sided statement, isn't it?" Madam Mu's eyes were also filled with sharp annoyance: "What kind of woman is Li Nuo, and how much do you know about her? As far as I know, the reason why she divorced Gu Qiyu is that you, as the former mother-in-law, also had an indelible contribution, right? Now that she has been driven out by you, and now that you see her having an affair with another man, why are you suddenly defending her? I really don't understand the family style of your Gu family. "

"You...!" Wei Qing was very angry at her words. She was about to stand up and argue with her, but Gu Jinwen at the side held her hand and signaled her to calm down.
