Chapter 871 The 'Dummy' Who Refused to Be Bound for a Lifetime (9)
Song Huaizhi looked at the girl in front of him with a deep expression.
Mu Zhou has been with the Song family for over ten years and has always been well-behaved.
Even if she occasionally throws a little tantrum, it's always within control.
She knew where the red line was.
This time, she went a bit too far. Although Song Huaizhi was angry, he could understand her to some extent.
She's young, so perhaps her rebellious phase has been delayed.
Running away from home and becoming a receptionist to support himself were indeed beyond his expectations, but he could interpret them as an upgraded version of his little pleasures.
However, becoming a celebrity who appears in public is not an option.
The Song family, a traditional and conservative family, has always kept a low profile and would not accept her as a celebrity singer.
This is a bottom line that cannot be crossed.
Song Huaizhi's harsh warning made Mu Zhou feel a tightness in his chest.
She bit her lip slightly, looked at him, and spoke calmly:
"I'm serious, I'm not messing around with you."
The girl didn't seem very confident when facing him, but her eyes were unusually firm.
Song Huaizhi stared into her eyes, a sense of irritation rising within him.
He didn't like Mu Zhou like that.
She should have obediently come back to admit her mistake and seek his protection after being rebuffed.
He will protect her for the rest of his life, give her everything that is noble, and make everyone look up to her and envy her.
What's wrong with that?
Many people desperately want this kind of life but can't get it, while she can get it easily just by being obedient.
What exactly is she being stubborn about?
Song Huaizhi pursed his lips, his face cold and stern.
"Take a good moment to calm down. The engagement date is in two weeks. Think carefully about whether you still want to get engaged."
Before leaving, he gave Mu Zhou a cold glance:
"I won't always tolerate you without limits."
The door was closed again.
Mu Zhou sat back on the sofa expressionlessly, looking at the sheet music on the table.
Every now and then, she would hum a tune.
She didn't take Song Huaizhi's deadline seriously.
Mu Zhou knew that Song Huaizhi had very clear rules and regulations in his mind, which no one could break, and everyone, including himself, had to abide by.
Mu Zhou's disobedience is a challenge to him.
He couldn't possibly coax Mu Zhou back; the fact that she came all this way today was already a great honor for him.
He felt that if he brought up the engagement, she would definitely back down.
After all, this engagement was something the original owner had been looking forward to for many years.
But now, Mu Zhou has completely forgotten the deadline he gave him.
*
Over the past two weeks, Mu Zhou and several musicians have selected eleven new songs for their new album.
The arrangement and recording are currently underway.
"Tomorrow you will film an advertisement with Shen Junchuan. Taking advantage of the buzz, the company will announce that they have signed you and release your first song."
Now that they've signed Mu Zhou, AE Entertainment will naturally plan things out for him carefully, making sure he generates every bit of buzz.
Mu Zhou had no objections.
She went to bed early that night so that she could be in good condition the next day.
On the other side, the atmosphere at the Song family home was exceptionally somber.
Logically, tomorrow is the day of my husband's engagement, which will take place in the backyard of the old house.
They have everything ready.
However, the female protagonist has not yet appeared.
The expensive engagement dress hung in the dressing room, but its owner never even glanced at it.
One of the maids couldn't help but whisper to the butler:
"Aunt Lin, is it really possible for the engagement to go smoothly tomorrow?"
A very senior member of the Song family just came by and talked with Mr. Song in the study for a long time.
He looked terrible when he left.
She heard that the elders of the Song family had discovered that Miss Mu had run away from home, demanded that the engagement ceremony be canceled, and accused Miss Mu of being unworthy of being the Mrs. Song family.
But Mr. Song refused.
"The engagement ceremony will proceed as scheduled tomorrow, and she will definitely come."
The maid only heard Mr. Song say this.
A very firm tone.
The elder then stormed off in a huff.
Hearing the servant's words, the butler couldn't help but feel anxious, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Don't overthink it, just listen to Mr. Song and go check the site again."
She glanced at the location of the study and sighed silently.
In the study at this moment, Song Huaizhi lowered his eyes and looked at the documents in his hands.
He had been holding this position for almost ten minutes, unable to read a single word of the document in his hand.
He pinched the bridge of his nose, his face darkening.
This feeling of being out of control made him inexplicably frustrated.
During this period, Mu Zhou did not behave as obediently as he had expected, but instead boldly recorded a new song.
She even chose tomorrow as her debut day.
She was clearly doing it on purpose.
Even now, Song Huaizhi still doesn't believe that Mu Zhou would dare not come tomorrow.
The little girl must have consulted someone for advice this time, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.
She's quite capable, too.
Are they waiting for him to back down?
Will this incident be used to break the Song family's centuries-old rules?
Ha, that's a bit too naive.
Song Huaizhi closed his eyes to calm himself down and began to focus on his work.

Mu Zhou woke up naturally early in the morning, and before she could fully recover, Sister Ling came to her house.
Next, she was taken to the film set for makeup and styling.
When she came to her senses again, she had changed drastically.
Although Mu Zhou considered herself to be quite skilled at makeup, she was still far inferior to these celebrity makeup artists.
She looked stunningly beautiful in the mirror, radiant and captivating.
This is a makeup style she has never tried before.
Back when she was in the Song family, she could only try natural makeup. Even when attending banquets, her makeup had to be dignified and elegant, making her look more than ten years older.
Wearing that light and airy dress with a flowing train, she looked like a fairy.
She chose the dress herself; it was a high-end haute couture piece from a luxury brand.
She originally thought she wouldn't be able to borrow it, and was even prepared to buy it herself.
She had wanted this dress for a long time, and for such an important occasion, she wanted to wear her favorite clothes.
Unexpectedly, Sister Ling was able to borrow it directly.
After her makeup and styling were finished, she walked out of the dressing room with the help of her agent.
The skirt was too big, and she was wearing high heels, making it a little inconvenient for her to walk.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Shen Junchuan standing there, leaning against the wall.
The handsome young nobleman inexplicably seemed a bit lazy.
He hadn't seen Mu Zhou for more than ten days, and his expression remained indifferent, but his eyes flickered slightly when he saw Mu Zhou.
Then he walked over and raised his arm:
"Hold me."
Mu Zhou glanced at him and took the initiative to link arms with him.
Before today's advertisement shoot, there will be a press conference.
Since the rumors of their affair surfaced, Shen Junchuan has been filming on set and has not yet made a public appearance.
Upon hearing that he would be making an appearance, reporters had already thronged the scene.
Everyone held up their cameras and aimed them at the entrance.
The light-colored curtain was pulled back, but Shen Junchuan wasn't the only one who came out.
Shen Junchuan was dressed in a formal black suit, the crisp fabric gleaming with a subtle sheen, making him look less somber.
His face was as handsome as jade, exceptionally refined, and beneath his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of eyes so affectionate they could make anyone fall in love.
At this moment, however, his gaze was focused on the girl beside him.
The girl had bright, clear eyes, rosy lips, and a fair complexion; every smile and frown exuded exquisite beauty.
The white, fairy-like tulle dress adorned with petals made her look as ethereal as an elf.
The two, one in black and one in white, looked like a newlywed couple.
