Chapter 254: Strength is Everything

Qi Shan passed through several courtyards and arrived at the small building where Mu Nuxin was.

The buildings of the Mu family are all retro, and there is a lotus pond downstairs of this small building.

After taking a look at the lotus flowers, Qi Shan smiled bitterly but still walked up.

The elders from the Dongfang family and the Mu family were talking in the lobby.

Dongfang Lie was also waiting quietly on the side, but Mu Nuxin needed to avoid suspicion, as this was the rule in ancient times.

Qi Shan went up to the small building and met Mu Nuxin.

Mu Nuxin was wearing a retro long skirt decorated with some modern patterns. She had no extra decorations, but her temperament was extraordinary.

The moment he saw Mu Nuxin, the anger in Qi Shan's heart disappeared immediately.

It seemed that in front of Mu Nuxin, all his emotions would quickly disappear.

"What should I do to make the old man change his mind?"

Qi Shan's tone sounded somewhat helpless.

"You should think about this kind of thing yourself."

Mu Nuxin said with calm eyes.

"But I really don't know what to do. Ever since I entered the Mu family, I have been working hard to marry you, but in the end it turned out like this."

Qi Shan said somewhat weakly.

"If that's the case, then learn to accept it."

Mu Nuxin said in a calm tone.

Just then, footsteps were suddenly heard downstairs.

"Just go ahead and do what you did a few days ago. Find a place to get drunk and forget everything."

"In fact, if you forget me, you will go further."

Mu Nuxin glanced at Qi Shan and said lightly.

Qi Shan was stunned. He felt that Mu Nuxin shouldn’t have this attitude. She should be in pain too.

But Mu Nuxin did not show any emotion, as if she had known about the proposal for a long time.

"Nu Xin, haven't you always wanted to see him? I'll bring him here this time."

Mu Nujiao brought Qin Zhan upstairs and saw Qi Shan standing there in a daze. She stopped talking all of a sudden.

"Well, shall we come back later?"

Mu Nujiao had already guessed what was going on and said apologetically.

"it does not matter!"

Mu Nuxin's eyes fell on Qin Zhan and she smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Bai."

I have to say that Mu Nuxin is also a great beauty, and she is the opposite type to Mu Nujiao.

However, Qin Zhan seemed to realize that she had recognized the wrong person.

"No, he is"

Just as Mu Nujiao was about to explain, Qi Shan's voice suddenly rang out.

Qi Shan suddenly took a step towards Mu Nuxin, glanced at Qin Zhan with a cold gaze, and said in a cold voice: "Because he is the son of the Bai family, you don't even have the heart to say a few more words to me."

"Or am I just a dog of your Mu family? You can get rid of me by throwing me a bone!"

"Bai Hongfei and Dongfang Lie have achieved their current success thanks to the resources of their family. In my eyes, they are just trash!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao and Mu Nuxin both showed surprised expressions.

They didn't expect Qi Shan to say such a thing. In the past, Qi Shan had always been very careful about his behavior.

Qin Zhan stood aside, eating melon quietly!
"My marriage, I have my own choice!"

Mu Nuxin's tone suddenly turned cold.

"Is your choice based on the background?"

"Or, you said that you never took me seriously from the beginning, and everything you did was just to make me work for you willingly!"

Qi Shan asked angrily.

"If saying this makes you feel better, then you can continue."

"A person's own charm only accounts for a small part. His achievements are what I really appreciate."

"I admire you very much. From this aspect alone, you attract me more than any of them, but that's not enough!" Mu Nuxin had no scruples at all and spoke directly from her heart.

"If the person proposing marriage today was not Dongfang Lie, but someone with a higher reputation, would you still choose him?"

Qi Shan asked in disbelief.

"Yes, if you achieve the same success as Ai Jiangtu and you still want to marry me, I will go tell the elders of the Dongfang family now that I have a better choice."

Mu Nuxin said calmly.

These words undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow to Qi Shan.

Even if he was unwilling to accept it, he knew that he had no chance.

Qi Shan left, his back looking extremely desolate.

"I'm sorry to let you see this."

Mu Nuxin Ruoruo said to Qin Zhan generously.

"Formally introduce him, his name is Qin Zhan, and he is your brother-in-law!"

Mu Nujiao said very seriously.

"what"

Mu Nuxin was stunned at first, then said to Qin Zhan apologetically: "I'm sorry, brother-in-law, I recognized the wrong person."

"You're welcome."

Qin Zhan responded with a smile.

"If Grandpa knew that my brother-in-law came to the Mu family, he would be very happy."

Mu Nuxin smiled and asked, "Sister, brother-in-law, what would you like to drink?"

"Let's have tea."

Mu Nujiao spoke.

After a while, Mu Nuxin came out from the inner room holding a cup of fragrant tea.

"By the way, how is your mining progress on the fire vein in Kunlun Mountain's Sun Ridge?"

Mu Nujiao suddenly remembered this matter and asked Mu Nuxin about it.

"Kunlun Mountain...your family's business is far away!"

Qin Zhan asked in surprise.

“The Mu family and the Zhao family have almost monopolized most of the rare resources in the east. We, the small families, can only find new ways and dig new roads in dangerous places.

“The Kunlun Mountain Sun Ridge Fire is indeed owned by our herdsman family, but we have not started construction yet.”

Mu Nuxin said with some distress.

"You haven't started yet? Now is the time when we need spirit seeds and soul seeds the most. If we want to start the work on the Sun Ridge Fire Vein, we should do it as soon as possible. Why haven't we made any progress for such a long time?"

Mu Nujiao asked in confusion.

Kunlun Mountain Sun Ridge is the best choice to change the stagnation of the pastoral economic chain.

Mu Nujiao does not interfere in the family business, but she knows something about the family's current situation.

The rise in sea levels has caused a lot of ocean line business to disappear.

All the big families in the country have fallen into a very embarrassing situation. In recent months, too many families have declined, gone bankrupt, and sold land.

The pastoral family is also working hard to open up new paths.

The fire veins of the Kunlun Mountains' Sun Ridge are a very rare opportunity.

The Mu family still maintains cooperation with the military as long as the Mu family can provide a large amount of fire resources.

With the help of this fire vein, the Mu family may be able to get rid of this situation earlier than other families, and even become the leader of the aristocratic families!

"Did you encounter any problems?"

Mu Nujiao asked.

This is the only explanation for having a mountain of treasure but not starting any construction!
"Um……"

Mu Nuxin nodded.

"Is this the reason why you chose the Dongfang family?"

Mu Nujiao understood instantly.
