My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce-Chapter 730 - : The Chips of the Marriage Alliance
Chapter 730: Chapter 730: The Chips of the Marriage Alliance
At two in the morning, Dongfang Mu returned home.
Since Cui Shuqian often visited the villa where his parents lived, he moved directly into the separate villa he had purchased. He tried to avoid going back as much as possible to avoid running into Cui Shuqian and having to endure her fish-like face while forcing himself to smile and speak.
However, when he stepped into the living room and turned on the light, he saw a woman sitting on his brand-new sofa.
Upon hearing the noise, the woman lifted her head to look towards the door, revealing a face that Dongfang Mu least wanted to see.
He resisted the urge to turn around and leave, “Cui Shuqian, what are you doing running to my place in the dead of night? Do you realize you could scare someone to death?”
Cui Shuqian stood up, speaking calmly, “Our engagement date has already been arranged, shouldn’t we be living together now? And, I didn’t come here in the middle of the night, I just ended up waiting for you until then.”
Dongfang Mu tried not to look at her face. He changed his shoes, then poured a glass of water for himself, “If you want to come over, you should let me know in advance. Don’t talk to me with such resentment because you had to wait alone at my house without warning. Also, I want to know, where did you get my key? And how did you know my address?”
“Of course, it was your mother who gave me the key and told me the address.”
Cui Shuqian walked over to Dongfang Mu’s side. Noticing his refusal even to look at her, she seethed with anger, “I know you prefer beautiful women. But those pretty-face vases can’t help you with anything. You best think clearly and give me enough respect, otherwise, our alliance will be void!”
Dongfang Mu frowned slightly, finally looking at her, “What kind of respect do you want? Haven’t I respected you enough yet? You don’t need to keep using our alliance to threaten me; the alliance is mutually beneficial, it’s not just me who stands to gain. Don’t you also want to consolidate in the Cui Family and assert enough influence by marrying into the Dongfang Family? Isn’t marrying me the only way you can gain enough authority?”
“Of course, the alliance is mutually beneficial. I indeed need the support of the Dongfang Family. But if you make a fool out of me, your betrothed, before we’re even married, what kind of support are we talking about? Everyone will just laugh at me.”
While saying this, Cui Shuqian took out her mobile phone, opened a picture, and handed it over to Dongfang Mu, “The incident of you and Gu Jing fighting over a girl at the bar has been posted online, there’s even a video. If I’m not mistaken, she is your beautiful assistant, isn’t she?”
Dongfang Mu took only a glance at the photo before returning the phone to Cui Shuqian.

“You’ve known the kind of person I am, haven’t you? I’ve always had many women, and I’ve never stopped. I’ve told you before, our marriage is just a business alliance. We’re only a couple in public and have nothing to do with each other in private life. We’re not even married yet, and you’re already interfering in my life?”
“Dongfang Mu, even if we’re just playing at being a couple, you should at least play your part properly! If you’re squabbling over your assistant with Gu Jing, where does that leave my dignity? Or the dignity of the Cui Family?”
Cui Shuqian sneered, “The one you favor has always been Qiao Yin, hasn’t it? I noticed long ago that you treat her differently. You must be wanting a pretense of a marriage with me so that you can have a real marriage with her, right? You want to keep her as a mistress, don’t you?”
Dongfang Mu didn’t know Cui Shuqian too well before. He initially thought she was ugly but acknowledged her wisdom, tact, and ability to please elders since she was a well-bred rich young lady.
However, in the past two months of close contact, he realized that Cui Shuqian was extremely jealous in secret, especially of beautiful women.
