BXBX NOVEL Chapter 53 Getting To Know Her Past.
"I am no fool. From the last two years, I know about your feelings for her." Mu Yuehan looked at him with mirth in his eyes, sneer on his lips. "You are with me for such a long time. Don\'t you know I love to keep a record of my friends and enemies?"
Zhan Wei looked at him with an accusing gaze and shock, "You hacked my phone, didn\'t you?"
Mu Yuehan nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders and took a sip of his wine, clearly enjoying the state of his friend.
"You...." Zhan Wei fumed in anger.
"Careful. You should respect me. After all, you will need my yes if you want the hand of Jingyan in marriage." Mu Yuehan looked at him teasingly, clearly enjoying his upper hand on his friend.
Zhan Wei grumbled under his breath and glared at Mu Yuehan. "If you knew about my feelings, why didn\'t you stop me?"
"Because I know, no one can be better for Jingyan than you." Mu Yuehan told him truthfully.
The black clouds which surrounded the head of Zhan Wei cleared immediately and he smiled warmly. Those words meant a lot for Zhan Wei. He knew, that when asking the hand of Jingyan for marriage, Mu Yuehan was going to be the biggest hurdle.
"I know you from school days. You are from a good family. You are working hard only to be able to stand as her perfect life partner and I like your dedication."
"I never thought I will hear these words coming from your mouth." Zhan Wei grinned and finished his glass of wine.
"Now stop grinning and call Jingyan. Dare of you, if you tell her that you need the suggestions for me."
Zhan Wei nodded his head and quickly called Mu Jingyan, eager to hear her voice.
"Hey, Jingyan." Zhan Wei looked at nothing in particular with love-stuck eyes. Mu Yuehan rolled his eyes.
"Bro Wei, how are you? I was going to call you only. I need your help."
And just like that, Zhan Wei was lost talking to Mu Jingyan, his lady love, forgetting about Mu Yuehan seated beside him.
Soon, he felt cold glares in his direction. He turned and looked at Mu Yuehan. Remembering the reason for his call, he gulped in fear.
"Jingyan, I also need your help. Can you give me some suggestions as to how to woo a girl?" he asked.
Mu Yuehan signalled him to put the phone on the loudspeaker so he could hear her suggestions.
"Bro Wei, do you want to woo a girl?" There was clear dejection in the voice of Mu Jingyan.
Zhan Wei became scared at the thought that Jingyan was sad. So, forgetting about the warning of Mu Yuehan, he spoke, "They are not for me but Mu Yuehan. He wants to woo a girl."
Mu Yuehan slapped his head and looked at Zhan Wei. Zhan Wei gave him a guilty look.
"Jingyan, I hope today\'s conversation will stay only between us."
"Don\'t worry gege. I will not tell anyone about you. Now tell me about the girl you like." There was excitement and happiness in her voice.
…
Mu Yuehan was satisfied with the suggestions from Mu Jingyan. He did not know if they would work or not, but he wanted to give them a try.
"I was planning of giving my yes to you, to be my cousin\'s husband but now I think, I should rethink." Mu Yuehan patted the back of Zhan Wei and left the hotel.
Zhan Wei looked at his back and cursed himself. He got caught by the devil. Now, Mu Yuehan was going to use his feelings against him.
Holy….

Mu Yuehan stepped out of the hotel. He felt the presence of his shadow guard, so he stopped in his tracks.
"Boss, as per your order, I am following miss Nian. For the last few days, I am noticing different men following after her. Today, when you left her in the alley, a man got very close to her with a knife in his hand."
"Detain him. Try to get information from him." Mu Yuehan ordered and left the hotel with a disturbed mind.
\'Who can be after her life? And from how long men were following after her?\'
When Mu Yuehan returned home, he decided to call his father\'s assistant. It had been many days but he still had no information about Qin Tian.
"I am sorry young master. I didn\'t remember to search about her." The assistant spoke from the other side of the phone. "But if you want, I can tell you whatever I know about her."
"Tell me."
And with that, the assistant told Mu Yuehan about the incident from two years back. How Qin Tian seduced her sister\'s lover only for his money, as per rumours. She was a third party between the couple. Not only that, her reputation among the socialists was not very good.
"My advice young master. Stay away from her. Everyone in the high society knows that she is an evil, gold digger. If whispers are to be believed, she murdered or injured people or two to climb high in the social circle."
"Everyone claims her to be the worst woman in society. I do not think there is even a person who will say good about her. She is hated by all, including my daughters."
Mu Yuehan ended the call and thought about what his assistant had informed him.

"Weird," Nian Tian murmured to herself when the next morning, Mu Yuehan did not knock on her door, nor was he waiting for her outside her apartment.
"I knew it. No man can be so dedicated to stay by a girl\'s side if she is challenging. They like when girls easily say yes." There was disgust on her face.
She was feeling slightly bad. There was a slight pinch in her heart. She expected Mu Yuehan to stay but guess what, he left her. His determination was for such a small time.
