Mu Qingran's legs turned to jelly, and she broke out in a cold sweat, feeling as if she were about to collapse, but she was utterly unable to stop Mu's father on stage.
Huo Zhenxuan also realized that Mu Derun's sudden interruption of the wedding was not a good sign, but by this point, he was incapable of stopping him.
Mu Derun cast a vindictive glance at his daughter and turned toward Huo Tianpei, scoffing,
"Old man, don't be fooled by my current wretched appearance. Back in my youth, our Mu Family also ran a business and we were quite successful at that. Later, I became addicted to gambling, squandered all our wealth, my wife left, and only Qingran and I were left to fend for ourselves. Every day, debt collectors came knocking on our door; our doorstep was repeatedly splashed with red paint. No matter where we moved, it was the same story. Qingran couldn't even attend high school. But, in the end, it was our Qingran who had the ability. She solved those gambling debts for me!"
