Mr. Yuan's Dilemma: Can't Help Falling in Love with You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Old Mistress Yuan had wept for some time, her mood improved slightly and her tears gradually began to stop flowing under her relatives comforting.

Zhao Ruoxin, who was sitting by her side, also quietened down, her tender and amiable expression was really adorable.

Mu Chenyan was actually struggling a little, unsure of whether to go forward to comfort Grandmother like the rest.

She grappled with this question for a brief moment before soundly dismissing it.

In this household, the person who had the least right was her. Furthermore, others knew how to console, but she had no idea what to say.

Eventually, Old Mistress finally calmed down, but when she looked up and saw Mu Chenyan still standing on the same spot with an indifferent manner, she became angered.

"From now on, Ruoxin will be staying at my place, and all of you are to treat her the same as you would Qinger!"

Old Mistress suddenly ordered as she shot a glance at Mu Chenyan.

Everyone present was stunned.

Firstly, Zhao Ruoxin was by no means a child, and whether or not it was appropriate for her to stay with the Yuan Family was up for question. Second, and more importantly, her appearance alone, which was exactly the same as Shu Qinger who had died tragically, would cause one to feel exceptionally uncomfortable!

Shu Qinger was once known as Yuan Xuan's childhood sweetheart. What would outsiders think now that the younger twin sister was replacing the older sibling to live in the Yuan Family?

Everyone's gaze fell upon Yuan Xuan.

At this moment, the one feeling most awkward was probably this proud and aloof man!

Everyone had thought their loving marriage would be an unshakable matter - it might as well have been carved in stone.

In the end, Qinger died tragically, and now, Qinger's younger sister was here. Old Mistress Yuan's intentions could not be more obvious. However, what would happen to Mu Chenyan?

Yuan Xuan was silent, his obsidian pupils so dark and deep that the others could not read his thoughts, his gaze sharp and grim. He was well-known to be cold to those on the outside as well as on the inside, unwelcoming to everyone!

"Mother, such an act might not be appropriate…"

Yuan Tangzhong suddenly spoke up.

He had just reached a peak in his political career, and the slightest bit of negative opinion on the Yuan Family would affect him greatly.

He did not want his nephew's love affairs to affect the Yuan Family and his overall interest.

"What's there to say about whether it's appropriate or not?"

Old Mistress Yuan was clearly dissatisfied with her son's defiance.

When he heard this, Yuan Tangzhong was at a loss for words, and he dared not speak further.

"Mother, please calm down. If you like this girl, you can have her come over whenever you wish. What Tangzhong meant was that the Shu Family is the proper place for the child to be. If she stays here, how are we to explain the matter to Shu Heng?" Xue Meiwei hurriedly tried to calm things down, but clearly siding with her husband.

"That's right, Grandmother. Before this, Third Young Master and Qinger's relationship was wildly publicized by the media. If Miss Zhao stays at our place, people might gossip about…"

Even Wen Ya, who had always been gentle and considerate, helped her parents-in-law oppose Old Mistress.

"Ruoxin is homeless now. The Yuan Family has wronged her sister, how can we cast her out now in her time of need?" After seeing everyone expressing their dissatisfaction despite Yuan Xuan himself not dissaproving, Old Mistress Yuan became so infuriated that she threw the teacup onto the ground!

Everyone was shocked and dared not move nor made a sound. They had no idea that Zhao Ruoxin was homeless.

Although Luo Hai's Shu Family was not as powerful as the Yuan Family, it was also an aristocratic household, and Zhao Ruoxin was, after all, the Shu Family's very own flesh and blood.

When Zhao Ruoxin saw that everyone was opposing her integration into the household, she began to snivel.

She sobbed and tried her best to control her breathing as she said, "Grandmother, don't get angry because of me. Xiner will move out tomorrow. And don't worry about my mother's medical fees, I'll think of a way. Even though the Shu Family has rejected us, I'll make sure we won't die of hunger on the streets. "We can't cause the young and old of the Yuan Family to be in disharmony just because of us."

As soon as Zhao Ruoxin started crying, the whole situation became chaotic. Old Mistress Yuan's heart trembled as she held her hands. "Don't worry, let me first see who has no conscience to dare force you out!"

Those who had voiced out earlier were on the second son's side, but now they had all been branded by Old Mistress as without a conscience!

"Let's just do as Grandmother has suggested!" Yuan Xuan's deep and powerful voice sounded out all of a sudden, causing the chaotic crowd to fall dead silent

"Grandmother wants to have her stay here, so just let her stay here. The Yuan Family has a vast fortune, and it's not as if we can't afford to support a pair of mother and daughter. If we chase them away, wouldn't we become the laughing stock of the city? What's more, the Shu Family has a relationship with the Yuan Family, and the Shu Family's grandmother's dying request hasn't been fulfilled. Qinger's early passing has been causing Old Mistress distress for the longest time now. If Miss Ruoxin stays with us, hopefully Grandmother will find comfort in it."

Yuan Xuan spoke and glanced at Mu Chenyan who was by his side.

This woman was currently as calm as water, and her expressionless face showed no hints of what she was thinking.

What more, when Yuan Xuan looked at her, a vague smile creeped up from the corners of Mu Chenyan's mouth…
