BXBX NOVEL Chapter 732: 731 Deliberately Approaching with Ulterior Motives
Looking at Wen Xin’s gloomy face, the agent unconsciously stepped back, his head lowered, not daring to meet Wen Xin’s eyes.
“Chu Mufeng didn’t want you to know about this matter, so… so he didn’t let me tell you to come find me…”
The agent didn’t dare to lie in front of Wen Xin, he answered truthfully to Wen Xin’s question, and for some reason, he suddenly felt that this young lady Wen Xin had an incredibly strong presence, even more frightening than those high-ranking executives in the company.
Wen Xin’s indifferent gaze swept over the agent, then she took out her mobile phone and called Chu Yunxuan. In less than five minutes, Chu Yunxuan hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as Chu Yunxuan entered the room, she saw such a serious scene and walked to Wen Xin’s side, sitting down next to her without any courtesies.
“What… is going on here?”
“He is Chu Mufeng’s agent, saying that something has happened to Chu Mufeng. I haven’t asked for details; take him and see to it.”
Wen Xin clearly didn’t want to deal with Chu Mufeng’s affairs. She didn’t even bother to ask another question and left the matter to Chu Yunxuan to handle.
Previously, Chu Yunxuan had heard about the scandal that had erupted between Chu Mufeng and Wen Xin. She lifted her eyes and gave Chu Mufeng’s agent a detached glance.
“Let’s go, whatever it is, I’ll handle it with you. My little cousin isn’t too fond of dealing with these trivial matters.”
While speaking, Chu Yunxuan unconsciously looked towards Mu Chengxi, who was just lazily leaning by the door, silently watching, with an uninvolved air about him.
Chu Yunxuan took the agent with her and left. Wen Xin stood up to pack her things and leave the room. She didn’t want to stay in this place any longer than necessary. She had already taken care of what she wanted to do. Other matters would be handled by someone else, and there was no need for her to linger on them.
In Beijing.
After returning to Beijing, Jiang Linyan took over all the affairs of the Jiang family. Supported by the Jiang family’s allies, Jiang Linyan had already developed the demeanor of a powerful woman.
Additionally, with the rapid development of Kunshan Group in Beijing recently, and with its backing, the Jiang family’s status had steadily been rising.
After a bidding conference concluded, Mu Chengxu was somewhat surprised to have successfully won the bid. As she walked out of the banquet hall, many people surrounded her, congratulating Mu Chengxu on her successful bid.
“Miss Mu, returning to Beijing for development, is there any intention to merge with Mu Group?” A few leaders from various families jokingly inquired alongside Mu Chengxu, attempting to understand the future direction of Mu Group.
“No, I am me, and Mu Group is Mu Group. Naturally, we won’t merge. If you have any cooperative opportunities, don’t forget about me. I really need opportunities for development right now!”
Mu Chengxu looked at the people around her gracefully. She knew very well what they were all thinking. Her entering Beijing for development was Mu Chengxi’s arrangement. She wouldn’t even question why Mu Chengxi decided this. What she could do was to take care of the tasks at hand.
“The Miss is really humorous. We need Miss Mu to promote us, and I didn’t expect that as soon as Miss speaks, it turns into us helping her instead. You’ve really humbled us. In the future, should you have good projects, don’t forget about us!”
These people were all smooth operators, long accustomed to saying the right thing in front of the right people.
“`
“Ms. Mu…”
Just then, a crisp, pleasant voice came from behind everyone, prompting Mu Chengxu to stop in her tracks and turn around to look.
She saw Jiang Linyan, dressed in formal work attire, high heels clicking on the floor, approaching with a supremely confident smile.
The moment Mu Chengxu caught sight of Jiang Linyan, her temples involuntarily throbbed. She had already heard about the recent happenings in the Jiang family, but she wasn’t ready to confront Jiang Linyan head-on yet.
“Linyan, when did you return to the country? I haven’t seen you in so long. It’s just about time for lunch. How about we get a meal together?”
Mu Chengxu skillfully concealed her emotions, reaching out warmly to take Jiang Linyan’s hand, and with a beaming face, she suggested they have a meal together.
Jiang Linyan was not surprised by Mu Chengxu’s reaction. She affectionately clung to Mu Chengxu’s arm and said, “It’s an honor to dine with Ms. Mu. I know of a new Western restaurant we could try. Let’s go together!”
Having decided to have lunch together, Mu Chengxu politely addressed the people behind her, “I’m terribly sorry, but Miss Jiang and I are off to lunch. We’ll discuss further business opportunities later…”
After bidding everyone farewell, Mu Chengxu left with Jiang Linyan, and the two got into Jiang Linyan’s car.
Watching Mu Chengxu’s departing figure, her assistant sweated bullets on her behalf, hurried into her own car, and instructed the driver to follow them.
“Quick, quick, follow that car. I don’t know what Miss Mu is thinking, getting into Miss Jiang’s car. It’s far too dangerous!”
The driver, taken aback by the assistant’s words, quickly stepped on the gas and followed.
“What is Miss thinking, getting into the younger Miss Jiang’s car? Doesn’t she know how dangerous Miss Jiang can be?”
Unable to hold back, the driver started to grumble. They all worked so hard to ensure Miss Mu’s safety, yet she had willingly delivered herself right to the lion’s den.
Seated in Jiang Linyan’s car, Mu Chengxu smiled gracefully, her gaze sharp as she looked at Jiang Linyan, yet without a trace of caution in her eyes.
“Sister, I didn’t expect you’d be willing to have a meal with me, especially since I had a bit of a falling-out with Mu Chengxi before!”
Jiang Linyan would never link her name with Wen Xin’s. In her mind, even if she had a grudge against Wen Xin, she wouldn’t admit it, preferring to frame the situation as a misunderstanding with Mu Chengxi.
Essentially, in her view, whether it was a good or bad thing, as long as it connected her with Mu Chengxi, she regarded it as something positive.
Hearing Jiang Linyan’s words stirred a sense of disgust within Mu Chengxu, but she still managed to suppress her dissatisfaction, maintaining a warm exterior with a light smile.
“Your disagreements with Chengxi are your own affair, and they have nothing to do with me. You are the little sister I’ve watched grow up, so naturally, I have affection for you.”
Mu Chengxu, who had fought on the business battleground for many years, had long learned to hide her true feelings. Such sanctimonious words came easily to her—she wasn’t troubled by them at all.
“I’ve heard that little sister recently took over the Jiang family and has been closely associated with the Kunshan Group that suddenly appeared in Beijing…”
