Chapter 462 - He Knew That He Stood No Chance At That Very Moment

‘Otherwise, how could the term “the older the wiser” come about?

‘Tang Yunfei has been talking for a few days and did not even give me a single cent.

‘However, Madam Sheng’s different. She throws money at people the moment she makes her move.’

Seeing that Madam Sheng was so straightforward, Luo Chenxi certainly would not waste her time.

She quickly said, “Alright, thank you, Madam Sheng. Then I… I’ll leave now! Right now!”

‘If I continued to fool around with Madam Sheng and Tang Yunfei, and if Sheng Yu suddenly appeared again, all my previous efforts would be in vain!’

Hence, she immediately got up, quickly changed out of her pajamas, picked up her bank card, and turned to leave.

“Miss Luo, please wait. You can’t leave!”

At the door, the bodyguards surrounded her as usual, trying to stop her.

Madam Sheng stood up in time. “Let her go! No one is allowed to stop her!”

“But, Third Young Master said…”

“Whatever Third Young Master said to you is useless! Get out of the way! Or do you not value your jobs anymore?!”

Sheng Yu was not in charge of the Sheng family after all. So, although the bodyguards were afraid of the Third Young Master, they did not dare to disobey Madam Sheng.

Hence, after a moment of hesitation, they all stepped aside.

Luo Chenxi ran out excitedly.

‘Finally, I’m free!!’

Looking at her departing back, Madam Sheng’s eyes flashed with disdain. “As expected of a gold digger who only knows how to make money! As soon as she heard that there’s money to be made, she immediately left!”

Tang Yunfei held her arm and was grinning from ear to ear.

“Hmph, this vixen is finally gone! Let’s see who else can snatch Third Brother Sheng away from me this time!”

However, what they did not know was that not far behind them, Sheng Yu was actually standing on the second floor of the villa. His gaze was deep as he looked at Luo Chenxi who was gradually running away.

The bodyguard beside him carefully asked, “Third Young Master, you… You’re just going to let Miss Luo go like that? Should we bring her back?”

Sheng Yu was silent for a moment before he shook his head. “Forget it.”

That day, after Luo Chenxi saw the tabloid news and still firmly chose to believe Mu Yichen, Sheng Yu knew that he had no chance at that very moment.

No matter how long he had locked her up, she would not let him take advantage of her. Instead, she would just end up falling out with him.

Hence, Sheng Yu thought that it would be better to let her out and let her see with her own eyes what Mu Yichen was like after he had a change of hearts.

‘Perhaps, after she becomes discouraged, she would realize that I’m the one who treats her the best.

‘Of course, it’s also possible that Mu Yichen really hasn’t had a change of hearts.

‘If that’s the case… I will have no choice but to accept my fate.

‘However…’

Sheng Yu then turned around and said to the bodyguard beside him, “It’d be better to send a few people to follow her, but don’t stop her from doing anything. If she’s in danger, protect her immediately.”

…

Luo Chenxi left the Sheng family’s old mansion and used the card given by Madam Sheng to withdraw some money from the ATM.

Then, she called a taxi and headed straight for Cloud Lake Villas.

Because the security guards at the door all knew her, she did not have to put in much effort and directly swaggered into the villa area.

However, when she saw the Mu Family villa’s entrance from afar, she was in a dilemma.

She had no way to confirm whether Luo Chenxin was at home or not. Hence, if she directly knocked on the door and the two of them faced each other, she could certainly expose the other party. However, she still did not know the whereabouts of her mother and was afraid that Luo Chenxin’s accomplice would harm Lu Wenjun.

Thus, she had to find Mu Yichen behind Luo Chenxin’s back and explain the truth without alerting her.

Just as she was hesitating, the door suddenly opened.

A cold and noble figure walked out of the villa.
