A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 811: Chapter 810: An Uninvited Guest Appears at the Banquet
 

Speaking, Mu Chengxi stood up from his chair, hands in pockets, and walked up to Yuan Tao, saying in a gentle tone.

“With Yuan Junye’s status officially recognized, an alliance between the Yuan and the Mu families…”

As Mu Chengxi spoke, his tone suddenly paused, his deep and dark eyes suddenly darkened, and his voice turned chilly.

“The Yuan family disappearing, Yuan Junye establishing his own and marrying my sister… is also not impossible.”

“Mu Chengxi, you…” After hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, Yuan Tao glared at him, looking as annoyed as if he wanted to devour him.

Yuan Tao had not expected Mu Chengxi to put things so bluntly — he was essentially giving him two choices: one was to follow Yuan Junye’s wish to drive away the current family and let Yuan Junye return.

The other choice was a dead end, allowing the Yuan family to disappear…

In Yuan Tao’s eyes, these two options were not much different, as both led to his family being torn apart, and he wanted to choose neither.

“No problem, I’ll give President Yuan time to think… I’ll wait for President Yuan to give me a response that satisfies me!”

…

By the time Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi returned to the banquet hall, Wen Huai had already brought Ling Xu ‘Er back and she was obediently standing by his side.

Wen Xin walked up to Ling Xu ‘Er and lazily draped an arm over her shoulder — if it weren’t for the formality of their attire, Wen Xin’s movements might have seemed more like those of a gang leader.

“What’s the matter? Jealous? When did our little girl become so delicate? If there’s a next time, just come forward and ask, and if you’re not happy, make a fuss. No matter how big the trouble, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.”

Wen Xin was always very indulgent towards the people close to him, especially his few younger sisters, to whom he showed boundless indulgence.

In Wen Xin’s mind, his little girl must be well pampered by him, and he didn’t care about anything else.

Ling Yichen moved imperceptibly to Mu Chengxi’s side, nodding towards Wen Xin, “The little empress in your household doesn’t seem to be in a great mood, she won’t make a scene today, will she?”

Although Ling Yichen wasn’t very clear about Wen Xin’s identity, he was aware of the Wen family’s, so he could guess the connection between Wen Xin and Independent State.

The Jiang family’s banquet today was supposedly related to Independent State as well, making it hard to imagine Wen Xin wouldn’t take action when encountering people from Independent State…

Mu Chengxi’s focus was also on Wen Xin, and Ling Yichen’s question made him chuckle softly.

“No one can say for sure with these things. Those who upset her don’t need to endure. If she was to be suppressed at an event like today’s, then I’m afraid she would truly be trampled underfoot by the people of Independent State here in Beijing.”

“How can we be bullied by outsiders at our own doorstep?”

At the end, Mu Chengxi raised his eyebrows at Ling Yichen, his viewpoint quite clear…

“That incident was necessary. To be bullied on our own turf is just too humiliating!”

Then, a teasing voice came from behind. As the cohort stood with Mu Chengxi, they turned their heads upon hearing the sound and saw Qian Meng walking slowly towards them, all of them unconsciously adopting a defensive stance.

Although he knew Qian Meng wouldn’t make a move in such a public setting, he still couldn’t help feeling a bit tense.

“You’ve arrived quite late,” Mu Chengxi said with an easy posture, his tone unusually teasing.

“I was late for a reason, I’ll tell you after the banquet ends,” Qian Meng explained as he shifted his gaze away from the bohemian Wen Xin, speaking in a gentle tone.

Qian Meng naturally stood next to Mu Chengxi, while the people behind them began quietly sizing each other up, indicating that this discord might not be resolved any time soon.

“Welcome, everyone, to my birthday party today. I feel extremely honored by your presence. Your presence at my birthday banquet is a personal favor to this old fellow…”

Old Master Jiang, standing at the highest point of the banquet hall with a microphone in hand, spoke his words of gratitude resonantly, appearing to be in excellent spirits.

At the end of his speech, he waved towards a corner, signaling Jiang Linyan to come over.

Today, Jiang Linyan was dressed in a high-end red strapless gown, looking enchanting and sexy. Her hair was elegantly done up, giving her an air of arrogance and efficiency.

The most striking was the million-dollar necklace on her neck, which drew everyone’s attention.

Seeing Jiang Linyan like this made everyone recall the afternoon’s news, and they began to doubt the hot search results from earlier.

“Miss Jiang’s outfit today is worth millions. She surely doesn’t look like someone who would make a scene at the Huoluo over a dress, right? Was the afternoon news mistaken?”

“I think so too. There must be someone jealous of Miss Jiang spreading fake news online. Otherwise, why would the situation get blown out of proportion?”

“But you can’t say that for certain, as the official blog of Huoluo even released a statement. I don’t think it’s likely to be fake; maybe there’s another reason?”

“What you say is also possible, but I still believe that given the Jiang family’s power, Miss Jiang wouldn’t do such a thing, especially since…”

Several ladies of high standing, standing in another part of the room, were discussing the afternoon’s events in hushed tones, exhibiting a skeptical attitude toward the situation.

Their discussion was suddenly interrupted by Old Master Jiang raising his voice.

“Today, on this special day, I want to announce something to everyone. My granddaughter and the assistant from Kunshan Group, Xiao Ci, are engaged. They have been in love for a long time and haven’t made it public. Today, taking advantage of this occasion, I…”

“wait a moment…”

Just then, a foreign man dressed in a black shirt and suit appeared from somewhere…

The foreigner exuded a cold and fierce aura, making people unconsciously clear a path as he passed…

Wen Xin involuntarily raised her eyebrows slightly as she watched the handsome foreigner approaching. She hadn’t expected to see Luo Qiete at today’s party…

The handsome and stylish foreigner stood at the center of the banquet hall, his gaze fixed on Jiang Linyan and Old Master Jiang on the stage, his fierce face breaking into a sinister smile.

“If I remember correctly, Old Master Jiang previously made a deal with me. I’d take Miss Jiang safely out of Beijing, and in return, Old Master Jiang would agree to let Miss Jiang be my woman…”

“How come, in no time at all, Miss Jiang is getting engaged to Master Xiao? Is it because of the backing of Kunshan Group behind him? Or because Xiao Ci is from the Xiao family of Independent State, do you think they will bring you higher benefits?”
