Love Enveloped In Lies
Episode 171

When all the tape had been removed, a crystal goblet appeared in front of them.

Scott definitely knew if the wine glass was fake, so he also knew its value well.

“How could Aunt Lucy be so generous? He even gave you a crystal goblet worth tens of thousands of dollars when he came back from abroad. “Scott fiddled with the crystal cup.

Michelle, on the other hand, looked fearfully into his eyes. When he heard the price of the glass, he immediately picked it up and held it in his arms. “It’s such a precious thing. You’d better get it back. I don’t want to owe anyone anything. “

“You’ve already opened the box. How can you return the box? Rest assured, I’ll help you pay for the favour. “Scott was sitting lazily on the sofa, legs crossed. He seemed quite calm and carefree.

Michelle gave him a contemptuous look as she replaced the crystal tumbler. Couldn’t she really understand why Aunt Lucy had changed her attitude towards her after returning from abroad?

It was very difficult for her to accept that Aunt Lucy had suddenly changed.

That afternoon, Aunt Lucy knocked on her door.

After looking at each other, Michelle went to open the door. What they saw was Aunt Lucy’s smiling face.

“Aunt Lucy, is something the matter?” Michelle asked perplexed.

“Michelle, it’s all my fault. Let bygones be bygones. Can you forgive me? Aunt Lucy suddenly grabbed Michelle’s hands and her eyes were full of tears.

Michelle wondered what had happened?

“Aunt Lucy, please calm down. Let’s go first, shall we? “Not wanting to be seen by the others, Michelle showed Aunt Lucy the way to her room.

“Please have some tea.”

Aunt Lucy was sitting on the sofa in the living room, but she didn’t dare move as she was sitting next to Scott. At that moment, Michelle approached with a cup of tea and placed it in front of Aunt Lucy.

“Good.” After entering, Aunt Lucy didn’t seem as excited as before. He took a few sips of tea and looked at Scott beside him. Then he looked over at Michelle.

“Michelle, I want to thank you for the present you sent me.”

“Present?” With that thought in mind, Michelle turned back to Scott, only to find that he winked at her. She was helpless at the moment.

“Well that’s good. Auntie, we have to be polite to each other. ” Even though she didn’t know Scott, Michelle said politely.

Aunt Lucy just sat for a moment and then got up to say goodbye. The purpose of her arrival this time was very simple. She came here mainly to express her gratitude.

After sending Aunt Lucy off, Michelle stood in the doorway with her hands crossed over her chest and looked at Scott, as if she wanted him to take the initiative in explaining.

Scott stood up and shrugged innocently.

“Scott, tell me the truth, what is Aunt Lucy so excited about?” When she saw that Scott hadn’t said a word, Michelle sensed that something wasn’t so simple. He had to be clear, or he would feel bad.

“Nothing. Just a few gifts that all women love. ” Scott said nonchalantly as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

It didn’t seem to matter to him.

“What presents?” Michelle’s face immediately turned cold. She walked beside Scott and looked at him seriously.

“Your courage can be supported,” Scott said with a cheeky grin.

Later she learned that what Scott had given Aunt Lucy was a gold necklace and gold bracelets and so on. It was more expensive than the glass mug. When Michelle thought about it, she regretted accepting his gifts.

She confirmed on the internet that the highest price for the crystal cup was 20,000 as it wasn’t made from any very expensive material. Suddenly Michelle discovered that it was a big loss to her business.

Since Emily had left, Scott had sent someone to look after the pet shop, so her workload could be relatively reduced.

People don’t really need too much. As long as you live wholesomely and sincerely, that’s also a kind of wealth.

Those things that could be found were never lost; those that were lost could never really be gained. Most of the time, if you don’t want to tell me, I won’t tell you. Just keep thinking about it. That’s the way.

In the Mu family villa.

“What?” Sir. Mu stood in front of the bed and looked at Ashley who was sitting on the bed with a pillow in her arms. I was heartbroken.

“Mister. Mu, according to the woman’s condition, needs this person in her heart to cure her mental illness. She has been stimulated by this. I think only the direct part can cure it. “

The doctor standing in front of him said slowly.

Looking at his daughter, Mr Mu looked back at Ashley. It was wrong to see her. After hearing the news, Mrs. Mu grabbed Mr. Mu’s shoulder and begged, “Honey, please think of a way.”

As a mother, she was, of course, more anxious than a father.

If Ashley had been dismissed since birth, the situation in her family wouldn’t be like this. They had been together for over twenty years and had developed deep feelings for each other.

The children were like the role of their parents. Naturally, they suffered when the time came to give up.

“Understood.”

Mister. Mu didn’t want to see her daughter that way. If what the doctor had said was true and Ashely could be cured this way, she would break the rule to save her daughter’s life.

At six in the afternoon, Michelle was packing her bags in the office.

“I have a meeting later. You can go home first and wait for me after I’ve made dinner. “

Just as she left, Scott left his office. He looked at her and kissed her gently on the forehead.

“Good.” After that, Michelle smiled at him, grabbed her purse and stepped into the lift.

Standing at the bus stop, waiting for the bus, she suddenly discovered that the waiting time was the hardest part. Just then, a black car slowed to a stop in front of her and the window rolled down.

“Are you Michelle Wang?” Asked a man in the car.

“I am you are…” She had no impression of the man, but she felt he seemed to know her.

“Get in the car first.” Sitting in the car, Mr Mu looked very serious as he spoke, making people want to escape.

Before Michelle could refuse, the driver had already got out of the car and opened the back door for her. Wasn’t it obvious that he wanted them to sit together?

The car drove all the way to the end and she didn’t know where the car’s destination was. Yet sitting with this strange man made her very uncomfortable.

When the black car pulled up in front of a fancy restaurant, the door opened and Michelle reluctantly got out of the car.

“Miss Michelle, please.”

As a group of people reached the designated private room, the driver left at the same time, but remained outside the door.

The middle-aged man next to her was also seated opposite her. “I’m Wyn’s father,” he said coolly.

“Oh, nice to meet you, Mr Mu”. She didn’t call him uncle because she didn’t think he was used to it.

“Miss Michelle, I called you here to ask for help.”

“Please go ahead.” Michelle didn’t push him away, but asked him to continue.

He was Wyn’s father, so he was talking about Wyn or Ashley. Why did the Mu family, a successful business, beg you to help them?

Even though she was full of doubts, she didn’t dare show them on her face. She knew there must be something wrong with the meeting.

“Please persuade Scott to be with my daughter. Please let Scott and my daughter go. Don’t try to get involved with each other. “

With a stunned look, Michelle turned in disbelief and looked at Mr Mu.

“Sorry, Mr. Mu. I can’t control other people’s love lives. ” “How clever they are! Can’t you think of something new? ” She refused directly.

“I advise you to abandon yourself to difficulties. Do you think marriage is a matter between two people? It was a matter between two families. As the saying goes, “Combine the pot with the right lid.” You have to behave, stop running to break your limitation. “

As expected, the aged ginger was spicier. Says Mr Mu. He looked more vicious than Ashley. But the old man was so stupid he wanted to use clues to persuade Michelle to leave Scott. It was so fashionable.

However, even if she was rich, Michelle would never agree to his request.

Getting no response from Michelle, Mr Mu continued: ‘Small heads always wear big hats. If you can’t reach them, why didn’t you bother to get them? Well, I know I’ve come suddenly, but I hope you can think about it over the next few days. Of course, I want to deal with it as soon as possible. Besides, I hope you won’t find out. “

After saying a lot of words, Michelle found it amusing. She didn’t know what was in Mr Mu’s mind? Why did she have to bully an innocent person like her every time? I could go and talk to Scott, which was easier.

“Mister. Mu, no matter what you say, I will not agree. I will never part with Scott. “Michelle didn’t want to stay with that man any more. She felt terribly infected.

With a bag over her arm, Michelle intended to leave. But the voice of Lord Mu came from behind. “Miss Michelle, if you make a mistake, you will regret it for the rest of your life.”

“Sir. Mu, I’ve never regretted it. Now that I have made my choice from the beginning, I must endure even if the future is difficult. “

After saying this, Michelle turned around and walked straight out. Her attitude was extremely arrogant.
