Chapter 1731

Mu Xuri’s gaze remained fixed on the ground, without any response.

He heard Wen Yu’s words, but he was thinking about many things and didn’t want to pay attention.

Seeing him not speaking, Wen Yu continued softly, “I met someone you would never expect, Lu Xuening.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Xuri’s brows furrowed tightly, and he looked up at Wen Yu.

“Is it her?”

They had also spent a lot of effort investigating Lu Xuening.

To be honest, Lu Xuening didn’t have much impact on Mu Xuri’s plans.

But because of Baili Xia, Mu Xiaojiu was repeatedly drawn into matters concerning Lu Xuening.

That’s why Mu Xuri had Wen Yu send people to investigate secretly and found out that the current Sima Liuyue was actually Lu Xuening.

And they also learned about the relationship and hatred between Lu Xuening and Baili Xia.

But most importantly, just a few days ago, Lu Xuening died, killed by Mu Xiaojiu!

Seeing his interest in this topic, Wen Yu wore a faint smile.

“Running into her this time was a coincidence.

She has been very desolate, always on the run.”

“I saw she could still be useful, so I arranged for someone to take her in.”

She paused, observing Mu Xuri’s expression.

But Mu Xuri just looked at her coldly, without any change in his expression.

She continued, “I told her about what happened at the Mu Group, including that girl, Baili Xia.”

“I thought, knowing that Baili Xia is Baili Yang’s granddaughter, she would definitely go after that girl.”

“If she succeeded, it would save us quite a bit of trouble.”

After speaking, she looked at Mu Xuri with expectancy, hoping this matter would improve his mood.

Mu Xuri’s expression did change, but it was not one of pleasure; it turned even more grim.

He didn’t speak, but directly drew out his cane and threw it at Wen Yu.

If Wen Yu hadn’t been standing a bit farther away, he would have hit her as he did Ye Hua.

Wen Yu was frightened, and fell to the ground, avoiding the cane.

She had never seen Mu Xuri so angry.

In all these years, he had never laid a hand on her.

Wen Yu sat on the ground, supporting herself with her hands, watching Mu Xuri, who looked increasingly terrifying with fury.

She began to tremble with fear.

“Do you know what you’ve done?”

“You ruined my major plans, do you understand?”

Mu Xuri slapped the armrest of his wheelchair fiercely, scolding loudly.

“It’s because you let Lu Xuening go after that girl that Mu Xiaojiu abruptly left on the day of the press conference.”

“Don’t you know?

Because of this, he didn’t get the chance to announce passing the CEO position to me!”

“Up until now, I’m still not the CEO of the Mu Group, do you understand?”

Wen Yu was stunned upon hearing this.

Only at this moment did she realize that her well-intentioned act had caused such a big problem for Mu Xuri.

She hadn’t expected Lu Xuening’s hatred for Baili Xia to be so deep, that she would act so quickly.

“Lu Xuening, she… what happened to her?” she asked softly upon coming back to her senses.

“She’s already dead,” Mu Xuri said coldly.

“Dead?” A hint of surprise flickered in Wen Yu’s eyes, but after thinking about it, she felt relieved.

Lu Xuening attacked Baili Xia, and Jiu would definitely help Baili Xia.

Facing Jiu, she surely didn’t stand a chance.

It’s not something to regret.

Initially, she was sent to deal with Baili Xia with just a sliver of hope.

Not necessarily to kill Baili Xia, but just to find a way to force her away from Jiu, that would have been enough.

She really hadn’t thought she would mess up his affairs!
