The Girl Who Married a Tycoon Husband After Disfigurement

Chapter 10

Zhao Yu glared fiercely at Zhou Mucheng, who was standing to the side, "This is all your fault! If you hadn't broken off the engagement, would Ling Yue have been treated this way by the Ling Family? Now go and bring Ling Yue back, otherwise don't recognize me as your mother!"

"Mom, can you please be reasonable?" Zhou Mucheng's face was solemn. When he saw the statement from the Ling Family in the newspaper, he was also shocked. He didn't expect the Ling Family to be so ruthless.

He knew that his broken engagement was part of the reason, but the real reason why the Ling Family issued the statement was that Ling Yue no longer had any value to utilize.

In the big families, girls are originally tools used to consolidate the family's interests. If Ling Yue hadn't been disfigured, even if he had cancelled the engagement, Ling Yue could still have found a decent place to belong to. After all, many families not as powerful as the Ling Family were very willing to become in-laws with the Ling Family.

But now Ling Yue was disfigured, and it was clear from the Ling Family’s attitude that they didn’t value Ling Yue. So even if some families had this idea, they wouldn’t rashly take action. Now that the Ling Family had issued a statement, it also meant that Ling Yue was completely abandoned by the Ling Family.

Thinking of the girl who was always bowing her head and obedient, Zhou Mucheng felt a surge of guilt in his heart.

"How am I not being reasonable? Did I not regret the broken engagement? Or did I kick someone when they're down?" Zhao Yu asked with hands on her hips, glaring angrily at Zhou Mucheng. If he wasn't her son, she would have beat him to death.

Zhou Mucheng rubbed his aching temples wearily. "I still have things to do, I'm leaving first." He knew he had let Ling Yue down, but he didn't want his future wife to be someone he didn't love. Even more so, he didn't want to regret meeting someone he truly loved one day.

After leaving the Zhou house, Zhou Mucheng drove towards where Ling Yue was currently living. He had a responsibility in this matter and hoped to compensate Ling Yue.

Ling Yue walked happily out of the alley. She planned to go to an internet cafe to take a look.

Zhou Mucheng sat smoking in the car. He wanted to find Ling Yue but didn't know what reason to use to look for her.

Seeing a figure emerge from the alley, upon seeing her silhouette, Zhou Mucheng immediately recognized her as Ling Yue. He hurriedly opened the car door and strode towards Ling Yue.

Seeing the approaching Zhou Mucheng, a fierce light flashed across Ling Yue's eyes. Zhou Mucheng's appearance was not bad, but it was a pity that he was a scumbag. Even if Zhou Mucheng did not break the engagement, she still would not have looked upon such a man.

"Ling Yue, I have something to say to you." Zhou Mucheng lowered his head to look at her, but because Ling Yue was wearing a mask and cap, he could only see her eyes. At this moment there was only coldness and estrangement in those phoenix eyes.

Zhou Mucheng was slightly shocked in his heart. Was she really Ling Yue? The Ling Yue in his memories, her eyes were always covered by a layer of mist, that made her seem weak, the look in her eyes towards him always carrying wariness, making him very unhappy. Today's Ling Yue, those eyes showed keenness and indifference, it was as if she were a different person. Do people really change after going through some things?

"I have nothing to say to you." Ling Yue raised her foot to circumvent Zhou Mucheng. She and Zhou Mucheng had no relationship now, nor did she want to have any relationship with him in the future.

Zhou Mucheng caught up with Ling Yue and stood in front of her. "Ling Yue, I came to say I'm sorry to you." Though he didn't regret breaking off the engagement, he had no feelings for Ling Yue and would never fall in love with her in this lifetime.

He took out a bank card from his pocket and presented it in front of Ling Yue. "I know the injury I caused you cannot be compensated with money, but I still hope you can accept my compensation."

Ling Yue's gaze fell on the bank card in Zhou Mucheng's hand. She laughed contemptuously, "I don't need it. As long as you never show up in front of me again from now on."

After saying that, Ling Yue strode past Zhou Mucheng, walking towards the front. The original owner was already dead. No matter how much money, it couldn't bring her back.

Zhou Mucheng did not go after Ling Yue again, only watching her receding figure with much to think about. Was she really Ling Yue?

Ling Yue looked around the streets to finally see an internet cafe. She walked in and was greeted by a strong smell of smoke. She wrinkled her brows slightly and continued walking in.

The internet cafe was not big, with an inner and outer room. Each room had 6 computers. At the moment there was only one computer in the corner that wasn't occupied.

"Need to use the internet? Two yuan for one hour." The youth behind the counter with a funky hairstyle, seeing Ling Yue come in, pointed to the sign on the counter.

Ling Yue nodded slightly and took out 5 yuan. "I'll use it for two hours first."

"Alright." The youth took the money and gave back one yuan to Ling Yue while pointing at the computer in the corner. "You can use that one over there."

Ling Yue nodded and headed to the corner computer. She had seen a computer-related book at the used book store before and was quite familiar with computers now.

After pressing the power button to start the computer, amidst lines of startup data, the computer screen lit up and several icons appeared.

Ling Yue quickly glanced at the icons and opened the one with a blue "E" icon. An interface jumped out.

She looked over the content on it and opened a shopping website in it. Various clothes, shoes, daily necessities appeared on the screen as the website popped up.

Ling Yue browsed through it before exiting the webpage. Her fingers quickly tapped a few times on the keyboard and a stock market chart appeared on the screen.

She examined the trend carefully before analyzing the trends of the stocks on it. She now had funds and the stock market was the fastest way to make money.

After one hour, Ling Yue exited the webpage and left the internet cafe.

She had just looked up the address of Digital Street. She planned to go there to buy computer parts to assemble a computer.

Half an hour after taking the bus, Ling Yue arrived at Digital Street. All kinds of computer parts could be found here. Ling Yue looked around before selecting a shop to walk into.

The boss was a middle-aged bespectacled man. He was currently helping a customer assemble a computer. From the corner of his eye he saw Ling Yue come in and smiled to greet her, "Young lady, just take a look first, let me know if you need anything."

Ling Yue nodded slightly. Her gaze swept past the counter and shelves filled with computer parts. The parts here were better than the ones she saw outside just now. Since she wanted to assemble a computer, she naturally hoped to get better specs.

After selecting the parts she wanted, Ling Yue walked up to the middle-aged man. "Boss, I've chosen the parts. Can you help me take them down?"

"Sure, please wait a moment, I'll help her first." The boss told the customer waiting for him to assemble her computer before standing up.

Ling Yue reported the parts she wanted one by one.

The boss looked at Ling Yue in surprise. "Young lady, you sure know your stuff." Though it wasn't so surprising since she chose his shop out of so many. It showed she knew her way around this stuff because most of his parts were imported from overseas.
