Chapter 384 Mu Family Discusses_1

Seeing Qin Yuru like this, Ye Luo didn’t know what to say and in the end, he could only put on his clothes and leave the place.

Watching Ye Luo’s departure, a complex look flashed across Qin Yuru’s eyes as she let out a heavy sigh.

Soon Ye Luo left the Qin Family estate and returned to the Capital City Hotel. However, once there, his mood became somewhat agitated and uneasy. Perhaps it was because he had just been intimate with Qin Yuru, he felt unable to face Ling Qingya, resembling the fear of a cheating man afraid to face his wife.

After taking several deep breaths, Ye Luo directly opened the door and walked in, only to see Ling Qingya sitting on the sofa with an icy face.

"Wife!"

Upon seeing Ling Qingya, a bright smile appeared on Ye Luo’s lips, and he walked straight over to her.

"Stop right there!"

Ling Qingya commanded with a cold expression, and Ye Luo’s footsteps halted immediately, standing right there with a trace of nervousness in his heart.

"Speak, where did you go last night that you didn’t come home, eh? Your phone was also unreachable. It seems like you don’t care anymore since you’ve got me," Ling Qingya spat out with an unfriendly tone, her eyes filled with anger.

"How could that be? Wife, you are my legitimate fiancée, and I love you the most," Ye Luo said with a grin as he walked over and hugged Ling Qingya tightly.

"You..." As Ling Qingya was about to say something, she suddenly sniffed lightly at Ye Luo, then her expression quickly darkened. Ye Luo, seeing her action, felt his heart tense again, fearing that she might have discovered something.

"Why would there be a woman’s perfume on you, and it’s even President Qin’s scent? Explain yourself," Ling Qingya demanded, her face turning instantly cold as she stared fixedly at Ye Luo.

"This..." Ye Luo felt awkward, not expecting her nose to be so keen as to detect the scent of Qin Yuru’s perfume.

Ye Luo could only explain how he went to help Qin Yuru last night and then mentioned how he kept her company by drinking to alleviate her gloom. Of course, he didn’t mention the part where the drinking had led to intimacy; instead, he said he got drunk, didn’t feel right returning home, and ended up sleeping in a room at the Qin Family’s place.

"Really?" Ling Qingya’s eyes held a doubtful look as she scrutinized Ye Luo, clearly somewhat disbelieving.

"Of course, everything I’ve said is the truth, absolutely true. If I’m lying, then may thunder strike me down!"

Boom—

The next second, a sudden clap of thunder sounded, startling Ye Luo.

Damn it, isn’t it just too unfair for the heavens to bully me like this?

With an embarrassed face, Ye Luo said, "That was just a coincidence, a coincidence."

Watching Ye Luo’s embarrassed expression, Ling Qingya burst out laughing and then glared at him, saying, "You’d better not let me find out there’s anything going on between you and President Qin, or I won’t let you off the hook."

"Of course, of course, there’s absolutely nothing between us," Ye Luo said seriously, thinking to himself that this was a white lie, and for that, he was sorry.

"Wife, we’ve been in Capital City for so many days, but we haven’t really had any fun. How about we go out and enjoy ourselves today?" Ye Luo suggested, looking at Ling Qingya.

"Sure, I’ve almost finished my work anyway, and Dad’s doing fine too, so it’s the perfect time to relax," Ling Qingya nodded.

An hour later, an explosive piece of news spread throughout Capital City. The head of the Qin Family, one of Capital City’s five major families, Chairman of Qin Group, and eldest son Qin Tianming, had died at the hands of his brother, Qin Tianchen, due to internal family strife.

As soon as this news broke, it sent shockwaves through the entire Capital City. Soon after, the news that Qin Yuru had become the new head of the Qin Family and took over the entire Qin Group followed, making her the center of everyone’s attention and earning even greater admiration for her.

To become the head of one of the Capital City’s five major families at such a young age and take charge of the Qin Group, a super corporation controlling more than half of Huaxia’s economy, put Qin Yuru at the very pinnacle of Huaxia’s economic pyramid; naturally, this stirred various thoughts in many people.

Now that the entire Qin Family and Qin Group were under the control of Qin Yuru, a woman, it naturally aroused the covetousness of many families in Capital City looking to seize control or swallow the Qin Family and the entire Qin Group.

Additionally, many young talents from various family powers prepared to make their move on Qin Yuru. If anyone could win over this aloof president, they would gain control over the entire Qin Family and Qin Group. Such a dowry was considered immensely magnificent, and no one could resist desiring it.

Suddenly, with her numerous achievements, Qin Yuru also became a highly controversial figure, the piece of fat meat in everyone’s eyes. As for the eventual outcome, no one knew.

One of the Capital City’s five major families, the Mu Family.

Inside the Mu Family’s grand hall, the Mu Family patriarch, Mu Qingsong, was seated at the head, with the Family Head Mu Yunlong and all the members of the Mu Family known for their excellent medical skills sitting on both sides.

These individuals were the pillars of the entire Mu Family, as well as the pillars of the entire traditional Chinese medical community in Huaxia. They had all gathered here, their expressions flickering with thought.

"Father, Goryeo Kingdom’s Empty Valley is coming with a menacing force. I fear they are up to no good," Mu Yunlong said gravely to Mu Qingsong.

"Thirty years ago, Empty Valley, as the first great master of Han medicine in the Goryeo Kingdom, was arrogant and ambitious, seeking to challenge traditional Chinese medicine in Huaxia. He came to Huaxia and successively defeated several masters in the traditional Chinese medical community. Later, it was I who defeated him. Presumably, Empty Valley has harbored resentment ever since. His coming to Huaxia this time is clearly to seek revenge," Mu Qingsong recounted.

"Father, does Empty Valley really think that after thirty years, his medical skills will have surpassed yours?" Mu Yunlong said with a sneer in his tone.

Mu Qingsong shook his head, "Of course not. This time, Empty Valley has specifically come to Capital City, not to challenge me personally, but to bring his most outstanding disciple, Chi Anxu, aiming to initiate a challenge under the guise of an exchange between the younger generations of Han medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Obviously, we, the older generation, can’t respond to the challenge."

"Family Head, I’ve investigated this Chi Anxu. He is regarded as a prodigy within the Han medical community in Goryeo, hailed as the second coming of Empty Valley. His medical skills are incredibly profound, and he is particularly adept at acupuncture, having deeply learned from Empty Valley’s true teachings. Many Han medicine masters in Goryeo have been defeated by him, and even many medical masters from The West have praised his skills. His medical expertise is likely extraordinary," one of the Mu Family members said respectfully. His words, however, left everyone present from the Mu Family with a look of shock, not expecting Empty Valley’s disciple to be so formidable.
