Chapter 2585: 2553. Mother and Son Facing the Same Enemy (2)

If it were possible, she would not want to recall it.

Her silence prompted the other to ask out of curiosity, “Don’t you remember your first encounter?”

“My memories are vague since it happened so long ago,” she simply said.

“Speaking of which, I can’t really remember how we first met, either. All I know is that he’s been by my side since I was young.” Rong Xuan began speaking enthusiastically.

The Rongs and the Mus had some connections, so when they later lived near each other, the two kids ended up growing up together and becoming childhood friends.

“I really didn’t expect him to get married at such a young age, though!” She hesitated a little before suddenly asking, “Was it a marriage of convenience?”

“Marriage of convenience?”

“Yeah!” She nodded while smiling guilelessly at the actress. “He’s the successor of the Mu Group and heir of Disheng Financial Group, after all, so his wife must be a rich missy of a prestigious family. May I know which family you’re from?”

“The Yuns.”

“The Yuns?” She fell into deep thoughts. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard of any prestigious families with the surname ‘Yun’ in the capital.”

“That’s because I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth.” Yun Shishi added calmly thereafter, “I have an ordinary background—nothing too prestigious.”

“You’re a commoner?!” exclaimed the lady out of the blue, which earned her a displeased, frowning look from the other.

“Oh, no; I didn’t mean that…” The lady hurriedly offered her apologies. It was unknown, though, whether she had truly accidentally made a faux pas or was just deliberately making a fuss about the actress’s social status. “I’ve adopted the candid way foreigners speak after living abroad for such a long time, so I accidentally misspoke. Please don’t take it to heart.”

“I’m indeed a commoner,” replied the actress bluntly, “but is that something to be so surprised about?”

“I’m not trying to belittle you,” Rong Xuan hurriedly explained. “I just found it unbelievable because, according to their family customs, any Mus are forbidden from marrying commoners.”

“Forbidden?”

Yun Shishi noticed her emphasis on the word.

“Yeah! The bigger and more influential the family is, the more they care about well-matched marriages. The Mus are the most prestigious family in the capital with their wealth and long history, so they are very particular about Brother Zhe’s fiancée since he’s the heir and all. They have high expectations of his wife’s family background and status and will even dig into her ancestry. Even though I migrated to Italy later on, I still know some stuff about their family in those few years I was with them. I heard that Brother Zhe’s grandpa insisted on picking a girl of unknown origins to be his fiancée despite the protests from others within the family. I think her name is… Mu Wanrou or something.”

Yun Shishi’s eyelids twitched at that.

“Their marriage never happened in the end, though.” She proceeded to pose her question in a bland tone. “Are the rich that particular about having well-matched marriages?”

“Yes. They pay great attention to that.”

All of a sudden, Rong Xuan began telling her about her ex. “While I was still studying in college, I used to have a boyfriend who came from an ordinary background. He’s here in Italy to further his education and would use his spare time back then to work in a fast-food restaurant, earning a miserable ten bucks per hour, but you know what? A lipstick of mine can easily cost a full day of his wage. With our family background being worlds apart, it’s only natural for our values to differ, too. I love going shopping; any piece of clothing I buy can worth an entire month of his salary.”
