I'm having EMO, can you help me die?

Chapter 149 Engagement

"Master Mu."

The crowd dispersed, and the young man walked slowly with composed steps, dressed in a well-fitting black suit, every line perfectly outlining his slender body.

A delicate sapphire brooch was pinned to the lapel of his suit, shimmering with a mysterious light under the lamp.

Despite being only seventeen years old, he possessed an extraordinary composure. Stray hairs on his forehead obscured the corners of his eyes, making it impossible to discern his expression, and he exuded a cold aura.

Coldness—that was Victoria Song's first impression of Mu Jing.

The others were also seeing Mu Jing for the first time.

He is the only son of the Mu family, but he never attends any events.

"Young Master Mu? Is this the Young Master Mu who stays at home all year round?"

"He's so handsome! If I had a fiancé like him, I'd be overjoyed!"

"Then you're dreaming."

Today, not only high-ranking officials and dignitaries are here, but also some students.

The Mu Group's official Weibo account posted 100 invitations, partly for publicity and partly for talent recruitment.

All eyes that were originally focused on Shen Qingqing turned to Mu Jing.

Before he could catch his breath, Mu Jing walked over.

His expression was indifferent, showing no joy, as if he weren't the one getting engaged today.

"Qingqing."

He habitually stretched out his hand; his slender fingers were very beautiful and captivating.

Shen Qingqing felt her scalp tingle in front of so many people.

Then, remembering that this person was stubborn, she decided not to make things difficult for herself and placed her hand on his.

"Young Master Mu, and who is this?"

Song Qian, from a prestigious family in S City, has investigated this girl and concluded that she is definitely not from any prominent family.

Mu Jing didn't even glance at her, and led Shen Qingqing to sit in the main seat.

"I bet even Mu Shao doesn't know Song Qian."

"You know what, it's possible."

The others whispered among themselves. They knew Song Qian's character all too well. She came from an upper-middle-class family, but she was more ambitious than anyone else.

Before the Mu family announced their engagement to the Jiang family, Mu Jing, the young master of the Mu family, considered himself the only one in S City who was worthy of her.

But now, he's just a clown.

As they were talking, Jiang Yiyi appeared, dressed in a white evening gown, followed by Song Jia in a red dress.

When I looked up, I met Song Qian's disdainful gaze.

"Ha, after leaving the Song family, he went to the Jiang family to be a dog."

He patted his sleeves as if he had seen something dirty.

Upon hearing this, Song Jia, who had her head down, flashed a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

She owes all of this to Victoria Song.

Since Song Jia appeared, Shen Qingqing's attention has been entirely on her, munching on sunflower seeds and completely ignoring Mu Jing beside her.

My love...

He toyed with the girl's hand, pinching her fair fingers, his eyes slightly darkening.

"Victoria Song, you're really asking for trouble. If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Jiang Yiyi scoffed, she wasn't going to put up with Song Qian, she'd disliked her since childhood.

"you!"

"Jiang Yiyi, don't be too happy yet. After all, Young Master Mu doesn't like someone like you."

She swirled the wine in her glass and took a small sip.

"Young Master Mu doesn't like someone like you either."

"Get out of the way."

Jiang Yiyi, accompanied by Song Jia, walked through the crowd and sat down next to Shen Qingqing.

"This... is the first time I've seen Victoria Song get the short end of the stick."

"Who says it isn't?"

Am I the only one who wants to ask about that girl's identity?

"They seem to know each other."

Song Qian stood there, glaring at the group with a sinister look. Sooner or later, she would trample Jiang Yiyi under her feet.

As for Song Jia, those scandalous affairs are enough to ruin her reputation for the rest of her life.

"Shen Qingqing, what brings you here?"

Jiang Yiyi glanced at Mu Jing beside her, and her heart ached a little.

I was so scared it hurt.

Mu Jing didn't exert much force that day, otherwise she would still be unconscious.

"Leave me alone."

Shen Qingqing took the grapes Mu Jing handed her and ate them one after another.

"I'm getting engaged today."

Jiang Yiyi looked at the two's intimate behavior with an awkward expression. With so many people around, they were completely disregarding everyone else.

"Oh."

She seemed indifferent, which made Jiang Yiyi somewhat envious of Shen Qingqing.

If she hadn't been born into such a family, she probably could have done whatever she wanted, just like her.

"Shen Qingqing, did you spread the rumors about me and Song Jia on the forum before?"

At the time, the forum widely publicized the story of Jiang Yiyi and Song Jia causing someone's death, and basically the entire school knew about it.

In the end, the school clarified the matter in person, and that was the end of it.

"No." This memory was not in the original owner's memory.

"If it wasn't you, then who was it?" Jiang Yiyi looked at Song Jia with a puzzled expression.

"Feng He".

Song Jia blurted it out almost without thinking.

Surprisingly, the two of them were kept in the dark.

They believed Feng He's words and went to find Shen Qingqing, wanting to make her suffer.

"Then what about the evidence you had on the USB drive from a few days ago?"

"It's made up."

Jiang Yiyi: ......

That wasn't exactly made up; it was information the system gave Shen Qingqing. However, it seems that this information is questionable now.

"Welcome everyone to the engagement ceremony of the Mu and Jiang families. I am your host."

The long speeches, one sentence after another, sounded like a Chinese teacher reading aloud, and Shen Qingqing almost fell asleep listening to them.

"Finally, let us wish Mr. Mu and Ms. Jiang a happy engagement."

The camera pans to the group, and on the big screen, Shen Qingqing sits between Mu Jing and Jiang Yiyi.

The expressions on Mu Jing and Jiang Yiyi's faces didn't look like they were engaged; they looked like they were enemies.

"The newlyweds seem to really value this engagement, haha."

The host awkwardly laughed and said, "What's going on? I'm hosting a colleague's engagement party today, and this doesn't seem quite right."

I shouldn’t have come.

Sitting in the middle, Shen Qingqing felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Lazybones, I want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

[What's wrong, host? Are you embarrassed?]

Little Lazy rarely sees its host like this.

"Who is the girl in the middle?"

"Never seen it before."

Amidst the chaos below the stage and the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Mu Jing walked onto the stage, with one flash of light following another.

"got engaged."

"Invalid."

Four words, no fluff whatsoever.

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion broke out around him.

Jiang Yiyi: Okay, anyway, she attended the engagement banquet today, so she'll explain it to her mother when she gets back.

Host: So I lost my salary again? I even turned down a day's wages to come here.

And so, the engagement party ended in chaos.

"Young Master Mu, is there something else going on at today's engagement banquet? What is your relationship with the girl beside you?"

Outside the car window, a large group of reporters were gathered.

Lazybones, I think I'm in trouble.

[Yes, host. 】

"Aren't you afraid they'll write things randomly?"

Shen Qingqing was a little tired, and she felt that Mu Jing's behavior today was related to what she had said yesterday.

She started to doubt whether the solution she came up with was right; it seemed like she was the one who was more tired of trying to bring the male and female leads together.

There's a lot to say.

"Not afraid."

"Don't you want to get engaged to Jiang Yiyi?"

"Do not want to."

Same answer.

[In the original drama, they were engaged, but they didn't get married in the end.]

"And Song Jia?"

It's Song Jia again. Mu Jing really hates this name.

Qingqing wants to leave me...

hold on……

Ding-dong—

A message pops up.

[Shen Qingqing, I'm so sorry for what happened. Jiang Yiyi and I made a mistake.]

Before I could finish reading the message, my phone was taken away.

Shen Qingqing looked up at Mu Jing.

Then he did a series of actions and returned the phone to her.

Shen Qingqing looked at the only person left in her WeChat contacts.

【...】

I always felt that Mu Jing didn't like Song Jia, but was that just my imagination?

【. 】

Xiao Lan didn't speak, she just kept sending periods.
