“Yes, Grandma. Health is the most important. I’ll go and see how dinner is going.” Mu Chengxu spoke with great discernment and softly comforted Old Madam Mu.
She understood what Wei Manqing meant. She walked away from Old Madam Mu and went to the kitchen to check on dinner.
The old madam took the cup of tea that Wei Manqing passed her and exhaled softly. “Manqing, Wen Xin…”
“Mom, I understand. The person Chengxi cares about is naturally our baby. I’ll treat her well and won’t mistreat her.”
Having never interacted with Wen Xin in depth, her first impression of Wen Xin was not too good. That girl was too wild, unlike the delicate and likable appearance of the other socialites.
However, for Mu Chengxi’s sake, she was willing to nurture their relationship. She would not restrain her nature but protect and pamper Wen Xin.
The group of people who had left the old mansion gathered in a large private room in Tianxiang Pavilion. Mu Jingang was smoking with a gloomy expression as he looked at Mu Zhan and Qin Qiong who were sitting opposite him.
“What’s the matter with you two? How did you provoke Mu Chengxi, that troublemaker? He never used to involve himself in Mu family matters. Now, he directly reveals himself as the family head and makes me deal with the mess of over seventy million!”
“We didn’t expect things to turn out like this. At that time, we just wanted to seize the opportunity to seek justice from Grandma. Dad, you don’t know how difficult it is for me to work under those people. But unexpectedly… the outcome turned out like this. Grandpa is too biased!”
Mu Zhan was furious. He had never had a good impression of Grandpa Mu since he was young. Not only was he stern, but his attitude towards them was also very distant. The only difference was that he treated Mu Chengxi differently.
Now, they finally understood that the old man had already groomed Mu Chengxi to be the successor.
“Alright, stop talking about it. Old Fifth must be Mu Chengxi’s subordinate now. I think it’s not the first day Old Fifth knows that Mu Chengxi has the family head seal. It seems like they’ve already made arrangements!”
Mu Jinsong put out the cigarette in his hand and narrowed his eyes. “Go apologize to Mu Chengxi tomorrow and tell him not to cut off the business between the Liu and Qin families. As for the other matters, we’ll think about it carefully. In short, we can’t let Mu Chengxi control the Mu family. We have to think of a way to get the shares. Even if we have to split up, we have to get the share we deserve. Otherwise, when the old lady passes away, Mu Chengxi will really dominate the Mu family!”
“That’s right. I’ve already thought about it. Mu Jinyan signed the papers when he left the Mu family. He doesn’t want anything that belongs to the Mu family other than the house in the Mu family’s old mansion. Even so, he can’t let Mu Chengxi hold everything in his hands now.”
“We need to conserve our strength now. When we have the chance, we’ll give
Mu Chengxi a hard blow and take back what belongs to us. We’ll chase Mu Chengxi out of the Mu family. Whether or not he can continue to be the crown prince of the Mu family depends on us!”
Mu Jingang’s expression was ugly. As the eldest son of Old Master Mu, he was not even as good as a grandson. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He thought that the position of the head of the Mu family should belong to him.
Some people from the Mu family’s collateral branch sat at the side and watched as the direct descendants of the Mu family discussed Mu Chengxi. They just listened quietly.
They were just a group of people who followed them for a living. As long as they could earn money, it was the same no matter who they followed.
However, after listening to the group of people’s scheming, they felt that it was more reliable to cling to these people’s thighs. After all, Mu Chengxi was still young. How powerful could a rich playboy be?
Because Mu Chengxi had come to the Law Enforcement Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall held an impromptu meeting to announce some new systems and reforms. They also explained the direction of future development.
Most of the people in the Law Enforcement Hall were Mu Jindong’s subordinates, and only a few were elders left behind by Old Master Mu.
Although they did not have any real power, their words carried a lot of weight.
Mu Chengxi was well aware that those people were not as courteous to him as they appeared on the surface, but he did not mind. He would chase these old fogeys out of the Enforcement Hall one by one sooner or later.
The meeting concluded, and the crowd dispersed, leaving only those few old folks sitting still in their original places.
Mu Chengxi looked at those people with a raised eyebrow. “Do uncles have something to say or any opinions about me? If there are opinions, speak up. Although I may not necessarily change…”
Upon hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, the corner of Mu Jindong’s eyes twitched involuntarily. He thought Chengxi would have become more tactful after these few years of experience, but he did not expect him to still be so arrogant and unrestrained, letting himself go.
“You… What kind of attitude is this? We’re your elders after all. We’ve been in the Law Enforcement Hall for many years, and we’re older than you. You should at least show us some basic respect.”
“Respect doesn’t mean you can take advantage of your seniority here. If there’s nothing else, you can leave now!”
Mu Chengxi did not fall for their tricks. It was simply a fool’s dream to use his age and experience to suppress him.
The elders looked at Mu Chengxi and gritted their teeth in anger. They knew
his character, but they did not expect him to not give them any face.
The few of them stood up together and snorted at Mu Chengxi before leaving the Enforcement Hall together.
Mu Chengxi sat in the law enforcement hall and flipped through the name list that Mu Jindong gave him. He frowned. “Observe these people first. If they don’t know their place, deal with them directly. There’s no need to keep them.”
“Yes, got it. Chengxi, we recently had a batch of goods seized by an organization in Continent M. We want to ask Di Ting to help us resolve it. I wonder if you know how to place an order through Di Ting?”
Continent M was Truth Listener’s territory, so even Mu Chengxi’s men did not dare to act rashly. Mu Chengxi imitated Wen Xin’s actions and tapped his slender and clean fingers on the table from time to time.
“I’ll think of a way to deal with the goods. Pay more attention to First Uncle and
Second Uncle’s actions from now on. I reckon they will make a move on overseas companies. Keep an eye on them, and don’t let them cause trouble.” “Yes, don’t worry about that. Your fifth brother will be in charge of the matters outside the borders. We won’t let them have an opportunity to take advantage of us.’
Mu Jindong put away the documents and suddenly thought of something. He turned his head to look at Mu Chengxi.
“Have you heard? Your Sixth Brother is coming back from filming overseas. Your sixth uncle is in the research institute all day. Someone couldn’t win your Sixth Uncle over, so he went straight to your Sixth Brother. However, your Sixth Brother slapped him in the face and even arranged for an assassin to attack him.”
“They’re really bold. They even dared to touch Sixth Brother. Fifth Uncle, tell Fifth Brother to be careful when he’s overseas. If anyone causes trouble, just deal with them directly. There’s no need to worry. Also, arrange for more people to protect Sixth Brother.. I also want to know who’s so bold to arrange for assassins…
