Chapter 2182

Wen Yu raised her eyes towards Mu Xuri, only to find him looking back at her with a calm expression.

Strangely, there was no trace of unhappiness on his face.

She forced a smile: “I was thinking about something just now, didn’t catch what was being said.”

“I asked you, how has the wedding venue arrangement been going?”

These tasks were assigned to her by Mu Xuri during the previous meeting.

Wen Yu snapped back to reality and promptly replied, “I’ve already coordinated with the wedding company; they’ll come a day in advance to set up.”

“I’ve discussed all the arrangement details with them, no issues.”

Mu Xuri nodded, seemingly satisfied with her response.

“Good, this wedding is the first joyous event for our Mu Group in so many years.”

“We must use this opportunity to display the elegance of Mu Group to other families.”

He raised his wine glass: “Let’s toast to the successful holding of the wedding, and preemptively congratulate Lingchuan and Zimo, the newlyweds.”

As the elder of Mu Group and its current leader, Mu Xuri raised his glass, prompting everyone else to do the same.

“Third Uncle, this time everyone’s worked hard. Zimo can’t drink, so I’ll toast on her behalf.”

With that, Mu Lingchuan picked up Zimo’s glass and drank it down in one go.

Mu Xuri laughed: “Lingchuan, since we’re toasting in celebration, naturally we can’t let you be the only one drinking.”

“Come, raise your glasses, everyone toast together.”

Once Mu Lingchuan raised another glass, Mu Xuri clinked glasses with each person individually.

Perhaps feeling a bit excited, he accidentally spilled some wine while clinking glasses with Wen Yu.

But since it was a toast, no one minded.

Everyone raised their wine glasses and drank them down in one go, not leaving a single drop.

Mu Xuri looked at everyone with satisfaction: “Come, eat, enjoy the meal.”

Wen Yu always felt that today’s Mu Xuri was quite different from a few days ago.

Even in the morning, he was gloomy and would often lose his temper at her upon seeing her.

Yet now, he behaved entirely like a benevolent head of the family.

Not knowing what act he was performing for others, Wen Yu couldn’t be bothered to care.

The dinner ended without much awkwardness, which counted as a miracle for the main house.

After all, Mu Lingchuan and Zimo did not feel too warmly towards Mu Xuri and Ning Anran.

They’re merely waiting to move to the new residence right after the wedding.

And Wen Yu, needless to say, she doesn’t even wish to meet Mu Xuri.

Being able to have a peaceful meal, without disputes or quarrels, is truly rare.

After dinner, Mu Lingchuan supported Zimo back to their room first.

The side hall only had Mu Xuri, Ning Anran, and Wen Yu left.

Wen Yu stood up and said, “I’ll head back to my room too.”

Mu Xuri glanced at her, his aura turning cold.

“From now on, stay obediently in your room; without my order, you’re not allowed to go anywhere.”

A trace of panic flashed across Wen Yu’s face, she hurriedly explained: “This morning, it was indeed Xiaxia looking for me…”

She was cut off by Mu Xuri before she could finish.

“No matter the reason, refuse if you can in the future.”

“Do you not need me to investigate Xiaxia’s matter anymore?”

“Hand this over to An Ran henceforth.”

“Alright then.”

This arrangement from Mu Xuri was a complete lack of trust, something she had grown accustomed to.

She doesn’t seek to assist him any more, for she’s unlikely to report anything useful to him again.

Ignoring these matters would mean fewer chances of his scolding later.

After leaving the side hall, Wen Yu went straight back to her room without going anywhere else.
