Chapter 2090

Wen Yu raised her hand, gently resting it on Baili Xia’s shoulder, comforting her.

She envied this kind of relationship in her heart, and increasingly felt pathetic about herself.

Sometimes, friends might be more trustworthy than someone who dreams different dreams despite sharing the same bed.

However, she had dedicated everything over the decades to Mu Xuri.

In the end, if he pushed her away, she would have nothing left.

Having lost the interest in drinking coffee, Mu Lingchuan called the waiter over to settle the bill.

The group left the café and returned to the Mu Mansion.

…

In the following days, Baili Xia went out every day.

She paid special attention to people on the road, afraid of missing Ye Zi again.

However, for several days, she never saw her again.

The city of Jin isn’t too big or small, but running into someone is really difficult.

Sometimes she wondered if she truly saw correctly in that brief glance on the road.

Perhaps, she genuinely mistook someone else.

In the blink of an eye, it was already March.

In less than half a month, it would be the day of Mu Lingchuan and Zimo’s wedding.

This event was of utmost importance to the Mu Mansion.

All the invitations had been sent out, and preparations within the Mu Mansion had begun.

By then, many guests would arrive at the Mu family.

The Mu family hadn’t hosted such a large banquet at home for a long time, which would be a test for security as well.

If anything happened to any guest at the Mu family, it wouldn’t be a trivial matter.

This morning, Mu Xuri sent for everyone to gather for a meeting at the main house in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, everyone gathered in the main hall of the main house.

At Sihai Residence, Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Xiaoyao were not present.

Mu Xuri, with a stern face, said discontentedly, “What on earth are Jiu and Xiaoyao doing? I never see them at home these days.”

“Such an important matter now, and they don’t come back to discuss it.”

Everyone’s eyes fell on Baili Xia, as she was the only representative from Sihai Residence.

Baili Xia stood up respectfully, saying, “Uncle, you are now the head of the family, you could easily make the decision on this matter. I believe Uncle will surely support your decision.”

She had already sent a text to Brother, telling them about the meeting today, but wasn’t sure if they received the message.

“No matter what, he is considered a senior, and not giving some opinion on such matters is unreasonable,” Mu Xuri said lightly.

Beside him, Mu Dongyu sneered coldly.

“The old fourth is becoming more and more outrageous, ignoring the family business is one thing, but now he also ignores the wedding he arranged for my son.”

Mu Xiaojiu wasn’t present, so he spoke without much restraint.

Mu Lingchuan frowned and said, “Uncle must be busy with something, if it’s really necessary for him to participate, we could wait until he returns to discuss further.”

Mu Xuri shook his hand, not agreeing with this notion.

“This matter can’t be delayed any longer; if it’s not done properly, it would only make others laugh at the Mu family.”

He glanced around and continued, “Since Jiu isn’t here, I’ll first discuss the arrangements, and then you can give suggestions.”

Everyone had no choice but to listen, as they didn’t express any objections.

The two main aspects were security and reception.

For security, Mu Xuri assigned Mu Xiaojiu to take charge, given his strong influence in Jin City, allowing him to mobilize a vast number of people.

Most importantly, if anything happens, others might blame the Mu family, but will even more blame Mu Xiaojiu.

Reception would be overseen by Mu Xuri and Mu Dongyu.

Other specific details would be assigned to others.

After listening, everyone felt the arrangements were quite reasonable and didn’t have any objections.
