Mu Kangan walked into the small house. The two-bedroom house looked very crowded. Some parts of the wall had fallen off, making it look mottled and old.
He had asked someone to check on Wandou’s family background in the past. His subordinate told him that the Wandou family was not very well-to-do and lived in the relocation area of the old city.
He had imagined the situation of the relocation, but he had never expected it to be so miserable. This was not like a place for living.
“Mr. Mu! Please have a seat! I’ll make you some tea!”
Mrs. Wan patted the seat with her apron and invited him to sit.
“No need.”
Mu Kangan waved his hand. “I’m not here to chat about family. I’m here to discuss something with you two.”
“Please go ahead, Mr. Mu!”
Mr. Wan postponed his work to hear what Mu Kangan had to say.
“Do you know about your daughter Wandou and my son, Mu Chenguang?” Mu Kangan asked.
“I know, I know! The two children are good together! Chenguang is very polite. He is a very good young man,” Mrs. Wan praised.
“Since you know, then I’ll keep it short. I can tell you directly that I don’t approve of them being together.”
Mu Kangan went straight to the point.
Mrs. Wan was stunned when she heard this. She exchanged glanced with her husband and asked in puzzlement, “Mr. Mu, why? The two children are very close together. Why do you object?”
“Don’t you think that our families are not suitable for marriage? Moreover, you definitely don’t know that our Mu family is planning to marry the Wen family. Therefore, I don’t want any complications to arise in between.”
The marriage was not announced to the public, so only a few people knew about it.
Wandou’s parents looked at each other. They did not expect such a thing to happen. Mrs. Wan could not understand the relationship between such powerful families. She only knew that now that her daughter had finally found a suitable partner, and as parents, they had to at least fight for the child.
“Mr. Mu, we’ve never heard of the marriage you mentioned before. I think parents should only give advice to their children at most. They can’t decide for their children!”
Mrs. Wan was already being very tactful with her words. Even if she were to introduce someone to her daughter previously, it would only be arranged if her daughter agreed to it. She did not directly arrange for her daughter’s marriage.
“I’m Chenguang’s father. His marriage is naturally up to me!”
The way Mu Kangan acted as if he was the head of the family was difficult for Mrs. Wan to accept. However, he was used to being a dictator and said in a tone that he was used to, “I already know the situation of your family. Living in such a place, you definitely want to find a good family for your daughter. It’s understandable that you want to get rid of the current situation.”
“But you did not consider the situation of the other party. If the Mu family and the Wan family were to become in-laws, it would not benefit Chenguang at all.
“If I remember correctly, you, Wan Dehai, guard the gates at a music school? Do you think our families are compatible?”
Mr. Wan lowered his head and did not speak. Mrs. Wan was very angry. “What’s wrong with guarding the gates? We also live by our own hands. We don’t steal or rob! Don’t look down on a guard just because you have money!”
Mu Kangan snorted at Mrs. Wan’s words. “I don’t think a person who guards the gate can raise a good daughter. If she had a good upbringing, she wouldn’t keep pestering my son.
“She pestered my son because of his family background. She wanted to use him to change the situation of your family. In the end, isn’t it all for benefits?”
