Chapter 933: Deal Struck 1
Bai Chenyao is changing. Even though every time I see him, he still seems as distant and cold as he always did when I saw him from afar.
But how does he treat Mu Tiantian?
In the eyes of the world, he must be holding Mu Tiantian like she’s made of fragile glass, afraid she’ll shatter, or like candy he’s afraid will melt in his mouth!
Otherwise, why would someone so proud and cold do all that for Mu Tiantian?
What is so special about Mu Tiantian?
Mu Haiyun closed her eyes, and after a while, slowly began to speak.
"What if my Mu Family promises to never interfere in the affairs of the Bai Family and the Shen Family?"
Shen Tiancheng let out a devilish laugh again, a laugh that sent shivers down one’s spine, quickly covering their skin in goosebumps.
"Mu Haiyun, I told you, you’re not qualified to negotiate with me! Either continue the transaction, or... continue to obediently be Manager Mu!"
The disdain in Shen Tiancheng’s words was like an invisible sharp blade, piercing straight into Mu Haiyun’s heart.
Manager Mu!
Just those three words were enough to sum up everything about her current state.
Just a manager. Though the outside world called her the heiress of the Mu Family, even her grandfather once said so.
But ever since Mu Haiyang and Mu Tiantian returned, everything started to change slowly.
She had to rely on Shen Tiancheng’s help to secure her position as the Mu Family’s heiress, and at the same time, crush Mu Haiyang and Mu Tiantian underfoot.
No matter how unwilling she felt inside, suddenly realizing that Shen Tiancheng seemed interested in Mu Tiantian, clarity returned to her eyes in an instant.
"Alright then, let’s stick to what we discussed before!"
Shen Tiancheng chuckled softly twice. Even though she couldn’t see his expression through the phone, Mu Haiyun was certain that his current expression must be flamboyant, wanton, charming, and mad.
"Then, here’s to a successful cooperation between Kangyun Group and the Shen Family’s Shanshui Mansion project..."
After an acknowledgement, Mu Haiyun saw the call had been disconnected.
After a while, her tightly strained expression slowly eased, only to realize she had broken out in a layer of fine sweat on her back.
To dance with wolves, to play with tigers, she had long been accustomed to it!
So, there’s nothing to fear.
Mu Haiyun closed her eyes, placed her phone back into the drawer under her desk, then quickly got up and entered the inner lounge to freshen up.

Elsewhere, Shen Tiancheng was still lazily reclining on the leather sofa in the bar’s private room, with a barely visible smile on his soft and handsome face.
As for the woman he had kicked unconscious, he seemed not to notice her at all.
He held a wine glass, lifted his head slightly, and downed its contents in one go. As the wine slid down his throat, under the dim lights, his Adam’s apple moved slightly, with one or two drops of wine dripping, sliding down his neck. His crimson shirt had an open collar, revealing his large swath of pale jade-like skin, accentuating his demonic and sensual allure under the dim light.
He smashed the empty wine glass onto the ground, and stared at the shattered glass pieces on the floor, a bloodthirsty glint in his cold eyes.
"Bai Chenyao, let’s see how lucky you are this time!"
Closing his eyes, Shen Tiancheng lazily leaned against the sofa, his entire demeanor like a cold snake lying in wait for its prey to take the bait, seemingly harmless but virulently toxic.
His mind flickered with images of Mu Tiantian, whom he’d seen in the bedroom earlier, recalling her initial fear and later luminous, icy gaze, making him smile softly with his eyes closed.
"Mu Tiantian, we will meet again soon!"
