Chapter 809: 808: Taking the Gift Box to Congratulate Old Master Jiang on His Birthday

“What’s the matter?” Mu Chengxi, who was gently holding Wen Xin, turned his head to look at Ling Yichen after hearing him whispering with Mu Bei. His voice was faint as he asked.

“I was just asking who that young girl by Wen Huai’s side is.”

Ling Yichen looked in the direction Wen Huai was coming from, a faint coldness in his eyes. If that girl and Wen Huai had the kind of relationship he suspected, he would certainly not let Wen Huai off. He intended to seek justice for Ling Xu ‘Er.

Such an unrefusable scoundrel, even if he were Wen Xin’s brother, he wanted to sort him out properly.

“That girl is my sister, another daughter of the Wen family who went missing. What about it?”

Wen Xin, detecting the displeasure in Ling Yichen’s tone, responded lightly. However, from her expression, it was clear that she was asking him what he intended to do.

Unexpectedly, Wen Xin directly acknowledged Xiao Mi’s identity, and Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin somewhat surprised, unsure of what she intended to do.

“It’s nothing, just that Xu ‘Er might have misunderstood something. That’s why she left in a huff, and Nan Xu went after her.”

Ling Yichen was also surprised by Xiao Mi’s identity, and he did not hide much in front of Wen Xin but straightforwardly explained the situation.

Upon hearing Ling Yichen’s explanation, Wen Xin slightly furrowed her brow and her eyebrows lifted a bit, “Then why aren’t you going after them? You know how chaotic today is. What if something happens to them?”

Hearing Wen Xin’s words, Ling Yichen didn’t even think before he turned and left. The people behind him also glanced at Mu Chengxi before running out.

At this moment, Wen Huai and Xiao Mi also approached Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi. “Sis, Brother Xi…”

“Hmm.” Wen Xin looked at Wen Huai’s handsome and dashing appearance, smiled gently, stepped forward to straighten his collar, and spoke softly beside Wen Huai, “Ling Xu ‘Er misunderstood your relationship with Xiao Mi and ran out. Go outside and have a look, to avoid any danger.”

Wen Xin certainly knew that Ling Yichen would not let Ling Xu ‘Er and Nan Xu get into trouble, but she also understood Ling Xu ‘Er’s temperament; Ling Xu ‘Er was not someone easily persuaded and probably would not come back obediently.

At this time, probably only Wen Huai could personally resolve this issue.

After hearing Wen Xin’s words, Wen Huai paused. He had been searching for Ling Xu ‘Er all around the venue before coming here but didn’t find her. He didn’t expect that the young girl would have felt jealous and run off on her own.

“I’ll go have a look,” Wen Huai said and, without looking back, left the banquet venue.

Watching Wen Huai leave, Xiao Mi stood obediently next to Wen Xin. Her purpose in coming today wasn’t to attend the banquet, but to protect Wen Xin.

Wen Xin turned her head and looked at Xiao Mi, who appeared on guard, raised her hand and gently pinched Xiao Mi’s cheek, “Don’t be so nervous. Today, I asked Wen Huai to bring you here just to enjoy the festivities, nothing else. Stay with Mu Bei; I have other things to handle.”

While speaking, Wen Xin took the initiative to reach out and hold Mu Chengxi’s large hand, then turned her head to look at him with a mischievous smile.

“Let’s go see Old Master Jiang. Let’s personally deliver the gift grandma has prepared.”

Mu Chengxi lowered his head and looked at Wen Xin, who was smiling. With a doting smile, he nodded gently towards Wen Xin, “Yes, it’s indeed more appropriate to give gifts before the banquet starts.”

Gu Yanzhe, standing nearby, noticed the two conspiring and couldn’t help his lips twitching. Were they now being humble even when engaging in nefarious activities? It was truly chilling.

After Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi had agreed on their plan, Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand, took the gift box from Mu Bei’s hands, and walked toward the backstage lounge.

Gu Yanzhe followed closely behind them, aiming to protect them. However, he had only walked a few steps when the couple ahead stopped and turned to look at him.

“Don’t follow us; we’ll just go and come back. There won’t be any danger.”

Mu Chengxi was very confident in his safety. Who would cause a scene at their own birthday party? Only someone who had lost their mind would.

Gu Yanzhe retraced his steps, softly acknowledged, and then moved back to his original seat, watching Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin leave.

In the lounge, Old Master Jiang was dressed in a Sun Yat-sen suit, emanating a vibrant and sturdy aura. He was surrounded by several elders, among them was Qian Meng’s grandfather, Old Master Qian.

“Old Jiang, you really have the capability. After so many years, you can still cling to Independent State. Not like us; back in the day, we ended up like this because… Whenever you get the chance, you must say some good words for us!”

“Exactly, Mr. Jiang, now only your Jiang family can collaborate with Independent State. I heard that the Mu family has turned things upside down, intending to drive Mu Chengxi out. Now that Old Madam Mu isn’t handling these matters, Mu Chengxi won’t last long!”

“You’re right. If you ask me, Miss Jiang is lucky. She didn’t end up with Mu Chengxi back then. Now she’s with Master Xiao from Independent State. I heard she’s also a favorite of Young Master Wen. This will secure the Jiang family’s relationship with Independent State even more!”

“It’s really Old Master Jiang’s brilliance, raising such an excellent Miss Jiang, and he was the most visionary, knowing it’s good to stay in the shade of a big tree! In the future, Old Master Jiang, you must pull us up too!”

The people sitting in the lounge took turns flattering Old Master Jiang, who had not stopped smiling since the beginning. It had been a long time since he had heard so much flattery.

Although these words sounded somewhat false, they did feel genuinely satisfying!

“You all are exaggerating, the current era belongs to the young. We don’t comment on the Mu family’s affairs, after all, that young man from the Mu family is unfathomable, and it’s unclear who will end up controlling the Mu family!”

“As for collaborating with Independent State, as long as you all develop well, everyone will have the chance to cooperate!”

Old Master Jiang gently stroked the dragon head on his cane, his face full of pride, his wrinkles seeming to burst into laughter.

“Oh, by the way, Xiao Yuan, I heard your son overseas is doing better and better and recently, he’s been quite close to the lady from the Mu family. I just wonder if he has brought any good news for your family?”

Old Master Jiang looked at Yuan Junye’s father, Yuan Tao, deliberately bringing up Yuan Junye and Mu Chengxu’s matter.

In Beijing, it was common knowledge that Yuan Junye had begun to make moves against the Yuan Family because of Mu Chengxu, turning it into a joke within the capital’s circles.

By bringing it up now, Old Master Jiang seemed to be intentionally revealing the Yuan Family’s scandal to expose them.
