"What"s going on?" A cold voice swept through the balcony. The women shuddered at sudden coldness.
All of them turned around and saw Mu Liang, Mohammed Akram and some other male guests. The male guests came to look for their female partners and found them in the balcony.
Arisa broke down while crying and ran towards Mu Liang. "First young master, save me!" She sobbed pitifully melting the male guests" hearts.
It was Xue Lin"s first-time experience of something like that. She tilted her head on the left side as she gazed at Arisa"s reaction.
Xue Lin"s expression made a certain someone chuckle from the flower garden. His pair of grey eyes were twinkling in amus.e.m.e.nt.
Except of Mohammed Akram and Mu Liang, everyone gave Mu Lan an accusing look. Mu Lan said nothing. She already predicted everything, including the outcome.
Mu Liang ignored Arisa Romano and strode towards Mu Lan. He softly cupped her face with both of his large palms and asked gently, "What happened?"
Everyone: "…"
Mu Lan knew that this was going to happen. Still she couldn"t help but blush.
Xue Lin answered for her friend, "Those vile women were bullying us." She pointed out her finder at the red-haired girl. "This crazy woman tried to slap Xiao Lan and…" She pointed out her finger at Arisa and continued, "This lunatic grabbed Xiao Lan harshly and splashed Xiao Lan"s juice at herself. Then she started crying." When she spoke, her ruthlessness knew no bound. "She even complained that some kind of "first young master" belongs to her."
This tiny psychologist had been staying in the castle more than a week, however, since she didn"t have any interest in Mu Family and the relations.h.i.+ps of her friends, thus she didn"t know a lot of things. Just like she didn"t know who the first young master was.
The male and female guests were looking at her as if she came from another planet.
Mu Liang didn"t mind Xue Lin, but, hearing her saying that those women actually tried to slap Mu Lan, was bullying her and even framed her; hearing all those things, his expression became so solemn that the women were s.h.i.+vering.
He didn"t ask Mu Lan anything else. He just checked her cheeks if she had any injuries. And then he took her arm that was holding the empty champagne gla.s.s and his face immediately darkened. There were red finger marks in her white wrist.
"Who did this?" His voice was colder than south pole.
Even the male guests started to feel anxious. Mohammed Akram only gazed at Mu Lan"s expression sharply as if he was testing something.
Arisa still had the courage to continue her acting. She sobbed and said, "I tried to save myself when Ms. Lan tried to hurt me. I didn"t do it on purpose. She was clearly bullying me. Everyone saw that. First young master, please give me justice."
This time, Mu Liang turned around and saw that woman crying pitifully. He asked a simple question. "Where did this prost.i.tute come from?"
Boom!
The place became pin dropped silent.
Even sobbing Arisa stopped acting and blankly looked at Mu Liang. It took her a few moments to understand what was going on.
First, Mu Liang didn"t recognize her.
Second, to him, only Mu Lan existed.
Third, he always cared for Mu Lan, not any other woman.
Fourth, the position of Madam Mu, would never be her. Mu Liang would only give this t.i.tle to Mu Lan.
Fifth, Mu Liang would never approve her.
Arisa"s shoulder s.h.i.+vered.
Mu Lan didn"t expect such thing either. She hid her laughter and felt proud. "As expected of my hubby. So ruthless!" She praised him in secret.
One sentence and he destroyed everything.
Mu Liang glanced at Mu Lan and his gaze softened. "I believe that you didn"t invite "this thing"." He uttered the word this thing like it was sort of a worm.
Mu Lan cutely shook her head and said, "I invited her maternal grandfather. But he didn"t come. Instead of him, his son and his family came."
She cleared the thing that Arisa tagged along with her maternal uncle and his family. So, she was an uninvited guest.
In the meantime, the guards came forward and waited for first young master and Madam Mu to give them order.
Mu Liang ordered in disdain, "Throw this trash out! And those who dared to bully Madam Mu, take their names and let them leave this place with their partners. From now on, they are no longer welcomed here."
The female guests gritted their teeth. If they didn"t listen to Arisa Romano from the very beginning and helped her, none of these things would happen. They couldn"t help but curse Arisa.
After he gave the order, Mu Liang put his hand on Mu Lan"s shoulder and took her away, not giving a slight glance to the guests. Xue Lin took the chance and left the place behind her friend.
As Arisa was dragged with no respect by the guards, she screamed, "Nooo! Don"t leave me…. Please first young master… I love you…."
Her confession and scream, none of it was heard by Mu Liang.
She was treated worse than a servant and everyone looked at her in disdain. After this incident, no one will treat her with respect and she was as good as those street girls.
On the other hand, the male guests whose female partners were partners in crime turned red in anger. They knew that because of their partners stupidity, they lost Mu Family"s cooperation for the rest of their lives.
They had to give their names to the guards and left with their female partners in shame. The female guests who had been kicked out, their expressions were as pale as ghosts. They could feel their male partners" anger.
After going home, the male guests either divorced their partners or broke up with them. It was better to be single than having a stupid, jealous, worthless female partner in their lives.
