Chapter 1683

After discussing the matter of the shares, Mu Xiaojiu instructed Ye Hua to tell the servants to prepare lunch.

He also asked the servants to invite Mu Lingchuan to join them for the meal.

Everyone stood up and headed toward the side hall together.

Baili Xia was reluctant to go; she really didn’t want to have much contact with Mu Xuri.

Everything behind this might very well be orchestrated by him.

He might not yet know her identity.

If he knew she was Baili Yang’s granddaughter, how would Mu Xuri treat her?

Perhaps he knew but merely pretended not to care.

This man was deeply unfathomable.

When she saw them discussing the shares earlier, she could see through it clearly.

It’s just strange that at such a scene, she wasn’t driven out of the hall.

Perhaps the matter wasn’t important.

After all, the share documents had to be made public; there was no need for secrecy.

The more Mu Xuri concealed, the less she wanted to interact with him.

For her right now, the less trouble, the better.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, someone suddenly grabbed her arm.

“Let’s eat.” Mu Xiaojiu said indifferently.

“I don’t want to go,” Baili Xia said, her voice clearly flustered.

Mu Xiaojiu looked straight into her eyes and said softly, “Are you afraid?”

Baili Xia didn’t speak, just looked at him calmly.

“Some things can’t be avoided. With me around, what is there to fear?”

Mu Xiaojiu said lightly, pulling her toward the side hall.

Baili Xia tried to struggle, but couldn’t break free.

Since she couldn’t break free, she quietly followed him to the side hall.

Everyone sat at the dining table in the side hall, with Mu Xuri taking the main seat usually occupied by the elder.

As the elder brothers, Mu Dongyu and Mu Haoguo sat on the right side.

Although this scene seemed somewhat strange, right now, they really had very little say in the Mu family.

Such small details could only be endured.

Mu Xiaojiu sat on the left side, with Baili Xia next to him, and Mu Xiaoyao further down.

Not long after sitting down, Mu Lingchuan arrived.

Seeing everyone, he greeted them and sat down opposite Mu Xiaoyao.

Although he hadn’t met Mu Xuri, he had heard of his presence.

So upon meeting, he promptly called out, “Third Uncle.”

“Lingchuan, indeed talented and promising, managing Feixue Company at such a young age, truly impressive.”

“I’ve heard you’ve been taking care of your fiancée. Is she doing well now?”

Mu Lingchuan was taken aback, not expecting that upon meeting, Mu Xuri would ask about Zimo and even refer to her as his fiancée.

He glanced at Mu Xiaojiu, who just nodded slightly.

Mu Lingchuan nodded gently, saying softly, “Thank you, Third Uncle, for your concern. She’s doing well, just still very weak and needs rest.”

Mu Dongyu was puzzled by Mu Xuri’s words.

The news of Mu Lingchuan having a fiancée had not reached him, his own father.

“Lingchuan, when did you get a fiancée?

How come I didn’t hear about it at all?”

Seeing Mu Dongyu ask, Mu Lingchuan thought for a moment and replied, “This was decided not long ago and I haven’t had the chance to inform you.”

“Since everyone is here today, I’ll announce it.

I will marry Zimo, and the wedding is set for next month.”

At the mention of Zimo’s name, Mu Dongyu became angry and immediately raised his voice.

“Zimo? Your bodyguard? How is she worthy of you? No, I don’t agree to this marriage!”
