Chapter 1458: Building a Vacation Resort 9

A moment of silence filled the living room.

Since Old Madam Mu had been taken out for a walk by the newly hired housekeeping auntie, even in the living room, there was no worry that anyone would overhear this matter.

The only thing that surprised Mu Yi was seeing the amiable Commander Lu, he actually carried the burden of two lives, or... perhaps even more.

He had never thought of Lu Chengkuan as a simple person. After all, someone who could rise from being a soldier to a commander couldn’t be simple.

Only...

"Dad, about that Menuke..."

"What ’Ke’?"

Old Madam Mu pushed the door open from outside, her brows knitted tightly.

Upon seeing Bai Chenyao and Mu Haiyang in the living room, her expression turned even more unpleasant.

"Tsk... Mr. Bai coming to our Mu Family at this time, could it be that he wants to reconsider and reconcile with our Haiyun?"

"That’s really unfortunate, Haiyun is about to marry Xiao Xu soon!"

Mu Family father and son: "..."

"Yu, help Old Madam to the bedroom for a rest!"

"Let’s go to the study to talk!"

Mu Qinghan finished speaking, quickly stood up, and directly went to the study.

The others followed Bai Chenyao and walked over.

Even as Old Madam Mu was about to continue her sarcasm, Bai Chenyao paused slightly, his sharp icy gaze shot towards Old Madam Mu.

"Old Madam Mu is joking. I’m here for Tian Tian, and have nothing to do with Mu Haiyun!"

The moment the study door closed, Old Madam Mu’s angry cursing could still be heard.

Mu Qinghan’s headache was splitting, he wished nothing more than to shut his wife’s mouth.

Seeing Bai Chenyao sitting there with a calm expression, as an elder, Mu Qinghan felt indescribably awkward.

"Grandpa, is there any news about that Menuke?"

Bai Chenyao proactively spoke up, breaking the earlier awkwardness.

Mu Qinghan shook his head, his expression serious and angry.

"No, after that time I saw him, I’ve never seen him again, and that was over thirty years ago —— so many years have passed... If Menuke is still alive, he’d be an old man like me!"

Bai Chenyao frowned, obviously finding this news akin to fishing for a needle in the ocean.

"Menuke was fond of gambling, and once lost thirty million in a night at the largest casino in Country B."

Shen Tiancheng pushed the door open and entered, a lazy, gentle smile adorned his handsome face.

Holding him, Zhang Ze nodded, and once Shen Tiancheng sat down inside, he came out and pulled the door shut casually.

"Young Master Shen?"

Shen Tiancheng leaned back in his chair, the handsome face wearing a mocking smile.

"Young Master Shen? I’m just an unwanted orphan! I have nothing to do with Shen Boyan!"

Mu Yi frowned, just about to speak, but Mu Qinghan’s eyes suddenly shot very sharply towards Shen Tiancheng.

"Are you working for Lu Chengkuan?"

Though phrased as a question, Mu Qinghan’s gaze was deeply certain.

Shen Tiancheng sneered, nodded indifferently, seemingly not caring at all that Mu Qinghan and others knew whose man he was.

"He can’t help it!"

Bai Chenyao suddenly spoke, drawing Mu Family father and son’s attention to his words.

"If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Shen also has Gu Poison on him."

Shen Tiancheng’s smile froze slightly, then he curled the corner of his lips, smiling sinisterly and flamboyantly.

"Mr. Bai actually figured it out long ago, didn’t he?"

Bai Chenyao glanced at Shen Tiancheng without speaking.

Shen Tiancheng still maintained that leisurely, indifferent smile, as if the Gu Poison on him didn’t bother him at all.

Even though, that poison was almost fatal.
