Chapter 344 The Future Young Master Mu
After hanging up the phone, the man sitting opposite Tang Yuewei looked at him in disbelief.
"Are you really going to marry Shen Qingrong? You are not kidding, are you?" Yu Shaoming had an unshaven beard and messy, unkempt hair.
He had just sneaked back to Haicheng, hoping to ask old friends for help and to establish connections in the Arbitration Council so that he would not be exiled to Paradise Island.
Tang Yuewei looked up at him and said, "Why don't you marry me? I've spent ten years trying, there should be a result."
He paused and said faintly: "It's like doing a project. Once you start it and spend a lot of money, time, energy and emotion, you have to finish it."
His marriage to Shen Qingrong had nothing to do with love.
To him now, Shen Qingrong is both bait and resource.
Yu Shaoming obviously didn't understand this and looked at him in surprise.
He knew that Tang Yuewei no longer liked Shen Qingrong. Shouldn't he withdraw in time and cut his losses?
Yu Shaoming felt that Tang Yuewei was mentally ill.
He didn't know since when, but the people and things around him became magical.
He was caught up in it, became a victim, and didn't understand what was going on.
"Let's not talk about Shen Qingrong." Yu Shaoming scratched his hair, looking depressed. "I'm going back to Haicheng this time and I want to ask you for help. We have been friends for so many years, right?"
Tang Yuewei smiled faintly, "Do you consider me a friend? I thought you were sent by the family to monitor me."
Yu Shaoming felt a little guilty and gritted his teeth and said, "In fact, I am also a victim. The plan was not proposed by me back then. I knew nothing about it, but now I am the one being exiled."
He's going crazy these days.
Not only was he expelled from the Yu family, but Old Madam Yu, who once doted on him, also gave up on him.
In order to gain a foothold in the Yu family, his parents even adopted a son from the same clan.
Yu Shaoming felt that the expenses were ridiculous. He didn't know what he had gained by working so hard for so many years.
Tang Yuewei looked down at the wheelchair, shook his head with a self-deprecating expression and said, "I can't even protect myself, so I can't help you."
"You can go find Jiang Xuan. He colluded with Shen Qianran and dragged you into this. Don't you want to vent your anger for yourself?"
Yu Shaoming frowned, thinking that Jiang Xuan was protected by the head of the Jiang family. Even if he offended the Shen family and the Shen family, he would still be able to escape unscathed.
Why?
He clenched his fists, and a hint of unwillingness and hatred flashed in his eyes.
*
The Mu family of Dijing.
The Second Elder's expression was darker than a dark cloud, and his hawk-like eyes seemed to be spewing fire.
"Where is that kid Mu Cigui? Where did he go? We can't even find his shadow?" His voice echoed in the meeting, making people's eardrums hurt.
The people around him lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the extremely powerful second elder of the Mu family.
The head of the Mu family sat aside with a barely perceptible smile on his face, enjoying the show contentedly.
He took a sip of tea leisurely and spoke calmly, "Second Elder, why are you angry? You said that Mu Cigui is the clan leader's trump card. I think that boy is quite frivolous. Maybe he disappeared this time to show off his talent."
Everyone praises Mu Cigui, saying that he is the ancient martial arts genius of the Mu family, but the head of the Mu family just wants to laugh at him.
The second elder was furious when he heard this and slammed the table fiercely: "Showing off? If he doesn't come back, the Mu family will lose all their reputation! We must send someone to find him!"
Mu Cigui had been in hiding for eighteen years before he showed up, and the first time he came to prominence was in a science and technology competition.
But he was absent!
The Second Elder's head was buzzing and he was almost mad at him.
Patriarch Mu gently put down the teacup, his tone still gentle: "Second Elder, why bother? Although Mu Cigui is a genius, he is young and impulsive after all."
Seeing the Second Elder's cannibalistic look, he said in a low voice, "As the head of the Mu family, I have the responsibility to avoid risks for the family. If there is no news of Mu Cigui within three days, he does not need to come back."
The second elder's eyes widened, obviously not expecting the head of the Mu family to say that.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, "Master, what do you mean?"
The head of the Mu family smiled slightly, stood up, and walked to the second elder, with a tone that left no room for doubt. "I am doing this for the sake of the Mu family. Mu Cigui is a genius ancient warrior, but you should know his temperament. This disappearance is not that simple. Maybe he got into trouble outside and is no longer with us."
The head of the Mu family watched the live broadcast of the science and technology competition. When he saw Jing Yuhan take the stage, he had a strong sense of uneasiness.
The Mu family's plan has been discovered.
Mu Cigui will never come back!
The second elder did not get angry, but remained silent.
He was not a stupid man and knew that what Patriarch Mu said made sense.
The most likely answer to an ancient warrior's mysterious disappearance is that he is dead.
The second elder felt a sharp pain in his chest and felt as if his heart was bleeding.
After all, Mu Cigui was trained by him and the clan leader, so how could he give up on him?
Seeing that the second elder was silent, the head of the Mu family continued, "Not only is Mu Cigui missing, but something has happened to the girl from the Jiang family as well. Maybe this is a conspiracy by Young Master Chu and the others."
"At this time, the Mu family should be patient and wait for the Jiang family to stir up the hornet's nest before we consider the next step."
The second elder finally nodded, knowing that the patriarch's proposal was more important to the Mu family at the moment.
He said in a deep voice: "Okay, then I'll do as you say, but I will still send someone to investigate Mu Cigui's disappearance."
Patriarch Mu agreed with a smile.
Mu Cigui’s matter will have a result sooner or later.
But now, he is more concerned about how to use this opportunity to consolidate his position in the Mu family.
Everyone in the meeting room breathed a sigh of relief; they were afraid that the Patriarch and the Second Elder would stand up to them.
As long as the two of them are getting along well, there's nothing to worry about.
As for whether Mu Cigui was missing or not, no one in the Mu family cared at all.
No matter how powerful he is, he is just a tool. He has been in hiding for eighteen years and has never had any contact with the Mu family.
Who cares about him?
Everyone relaxed, drinking tea and chatting casually.
What they didn't know was that someone was somewhere else, secretly observing the Mu family's every move.
Du Ying ate the dessert made by Chef Vincent and watched the surveillance video of Patriarch Mu and the second elder with Jing Yuhan.
Eat and watch at the same time, enjoying it very much.
Mu Cigui's disappearance has aroused the Mu family's vigilance. Du Ying glanced at Jing Yuhan and said, "The Mu family is quite cautious. This bait doesn't work well. It won't catch any big fish."
She narrowed her eyes. It seemed that they also needed to plan their next move.
The power struggle within the Mu family can be used to allow Jing Yuhan to replace Mu Cigui and stand out in the selection of the young master.
Jing Yuhan is definitely more qualified to be the young master of the Mu family than Mu Nanshu was back then.
"What should I do?" Jing Yuhan took a deep breath and felt a little stressed.
I don’t know if I can completely replace another person.
But he also believes in his abilities and will not let everyone down!
Du Ying finished her dessert and said, "Ask the company to hire an acting teacher for you so that you can hone your acting skills and play the role of Mu Cigui well."
"The future Young Master Mu."
After writing, I went to have dinner and ordered a takeout meal to reward myself!
