Chapter 452: Is there a flower on my face?

"Fine, impressive." Chen Yu said, unable to laugh or cry: "Let's change places; we can't stay here anymore."

"Mm, let's change places." Mu Xi nodded, and she left together with Chen Yu.

In a coffee shop, the two found a quiet corner and sat down.

Mu Xi lit a cigarette; she puffed away while looking at Chen Yu earnestly.

"Is there a flower on my face?" Chen Yu said, feeling somewhat unable to laugh or cry.

"No flower, I'm just seeing if you're handsome or not." Mu Xi smiled slightly: "I asked you out to thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Chen Yu asked, feeling bewildered.

"You solved the Shenyuan Group problem for us." Mu Xi said: "If it weren't for you, the problems our He Family is facing right now would be very serious."

"With the He Family's status, even if Shenyuan looks for trouble, you wouldn't be afraid, right?" Chen Yu asked.

"A mere Shenyuan—if we really tore into each other, it would just be a case of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of our own." Mu Xi smiled and said: "The real trouble doesn't come from Shenyuan, but from the He Family behind my sister."

"The He Family?" Chen Yu's expression changed slightly: "Aren't those her own relatives?"

"Relatives?" Mu Xi laughed: "Where can you speak of relatives in an Aristocratic Family like this? Before her father went missing, he handed the He Family to her; those people had long been dissatisfied, but because the He Family has developed well over these years, they were able to shut those people's mouths."

"But if the He Family were pulled down from its status as one of the Three Great Families because of the Shenyuan issue, those people would definitely force a palace coup to seize power, so you really did us a huge favor this time."

"So that's how it is." Chen Yu nodded; he really wanted to learn more about He Lingyun from Mu Xi, but he didn't know where to start.

"You are very similar to my sister." Mu Xi exhaled a smoke ring, and she looked at Chen Yu.

Indeed, Chen Yu and He Lingyun were very similar; whether it was the eyes or the contours of the face, they were very much alike. She could even be certain that the two had a blood relation, but some things were not yet clear; she had to get things completely figured out before saying anything.

"Is that so? How are we similar?" Chen Yu asked.

"Eyes, eyebrows, nose, even the face shape." Mu Xi sighed slightly and said: "She still hasn't let go of the past even now, and she still doesn't know what her own son looks like."

Chen Yu was somewhat silent; he didn't know how to answer.

The warmth He Lingyun gave him was something no one else had ever given him; he was unclear about what kind of connection existed between him and her.

"What do your parents do? Don't be so tense; I just want to have a casual chat with you." Mu Xi smiled slightly.

"You've already investigated me, why bother asking?" Chen Yu smiled and said.

Mu Xi was stunned for a moment, then she said with a smile: "Still can't hide anything from you. It seems that in this place of Fengling, you have no rivals left."

"That's not the case; I actually have quite a few formidable enemies." Chen Yu smiled faintly and said: "You came to Fengling just for the cooperation with Shenyuan Group?"

"Yes, now that the goal has been reached, we will be going back in a few days." Mu Xi nodded.

"So soon?" Chen Yu was somewhat distracted; he felt reluctant, wanting He Lingyun to stay in Fengling for a few more days.

"Reluctant?" Mu Xi smiled slightly: "But there really is no way; there are too many things in Shengjing waiting for my sister to handle. You could go to Shengjing instead."

"Mm." Chen Yu nodded: "I will go."

"Haha, Miss Mu, your sense of smell is quite sharp." Suddenly, a man walked in laughing loudly.

The man was in his thirties, wearing a crisp, custom-made suit, and his whole person exuded the aura of a successful individual.

The man walked straight up to Mu Xi and sat down.

"Wang Mingjun?" Mu Xi's brows furrowed slightly: "Why did you come?"

"The Shengjing Wang Clan?" Chen Yu also looked at the man with surprise.

Of the three Aristocratic Families of Shengjing, the He Family was one, and the Wang Clan before him was another. Was this person before him actually from the Wang Clan?

"Whatever purpose you came here for, that is the same purpose I came here for." Wang Mingjun chuckled: "My older brother got the news and had me rush over overnight."

"Mu Xi, go back and tell He Lingyun that we are determined to have the Shenyuan cooperation; you all should just roll back to wherever you came from."

"Honestly, your brother, as the head of the Wang Clan, really isn't qualified." Mu Xi laughed: "We received news that the Shenyuan Asia representative was in Fengling several days ago, so we rushed over early."

"You come now after everything is settled? What did you come for? With your level, you want to compete with our He Family? There's a good saying: you Wang Clan members can't even catch a fresh meal of shit."

"What did you say?" Wang Mingjun's face immediately turned ugly: "This is impossible; you couldn't have been that fast."

"If you don't believe it, go verify it yourself; the Contract has already been signed, personally approved by Shangchuan Jinghai." Mu Xi smiled slightly: "Do you think Shangchuan Jinghai doesn't have this authority?"

The smugness on Wang Mingjun's face vanished without a trace; he said with a dark face: "Are you telling the truth?"

"You aren't qualified for me to lie to you." Mu Xi said coldly.

Honestly, the He Family and the Wang Clan were both Aristocratic Families; the strength of the two houses was about the same, but they were also competitors.

Moreover, there had been no lack of accumulated grievances between them over the years, so naturally, the two sides wouldn't give each other a good look when they met.

Wang Mingjun was representing the Wang Clan to talk about cooperation with Shenyuan in Fengling, but he never dreamed that the He Family's speed would be so fast—they had gnawed down the tough nut of Shenyuan in just two days?

"Mu Xi, the cooperation between you must be suspended; Shenyuan involves too many interests. I demand that you cede a portion of the cooperation to our Wang Clan." Wang Mingjun was silent for a long time before saying such a mentally disabled thing.

"Was your head crushed when you were born, or did your mother have a failed abortion when she was pregnant with you, for you to be born such a mental defective?" Mu Xi's expression now was like looking at an idiot.

Honestly, she had lived for so many years and had never seen a mental defective like Wang Mingjun.

"Watch your tone; if you dare to insult me again, I'll make you regret it." Wang Mingjun was furious.

"I've already been very polite. Wang Mingjun, if your Wang Clan really has no one left, don't compete with our He Family in the future. How did they send a fool like you to snatch the Shenyuan Group cooperation?" Mu Xi was almost laughing.

"Our Wang Clan also has technology companies; many things cannot do without Shenyuan's support, so you must give up half of the cooperation plan." Wang Mingjun shouted: "When there's money to be made, everyone should make it together."

"Why should I make money with you? When your Wang Clan snatched our He Family's business before, you always used unscrupulous means; now that you're at a disadvantage, you demand we make money together?" Mu Xi really didn't want to talk to this mental defective anymore: "Wang Mingjun, where do you get the confidence to say such things?"

"Just because I am the Second Young Master of the Wang Clan, I have the qualification to say such things." Wang Mingjun sneered: "Go back and tell He Lingyun that if she doesn't want to find it difficult to move an inch in Shengjing in the future, then she should be sensible."

"Also." Wang Mingjun leaned close to Mu Xi and said viciously: "You two are just women; no matter how transcendent your status is, in my eyes, you are nothing but playthings for men."

"Sooner or later, I will get you into bed and play with you properly."

Suddenly, Chen Yu, who was on the side, slapped Wang Mingjun across his annoying face.

Slap... Wang Mingjun was sent flying by Chen Yu's slap; with a crash, the coffee shop's glass door was shattered by Wang Mingjun, and he rolled down the steps, his body twitching violently.

Honestly, Wang Mingjun never dreamed that with his status, coming to a small place like Fengling, he would actually be beaten by someone?

"What are you doing?" Mu Xi was startled: "Don't you know his status?"

"I basically know it; of the three Aristocratic Families of Shengjing, only the Wang Clan could compete with the He Family, right? This guy claims to be the Second Young Master of the Wang Clan; he should be direct lineage of the Wang Clan." Chen Yu nodded.

"Then why did you still hit him like that?" Mu Xi felt it was somewhat inconceivable; one had to know that the Wang family held a transcendent status, and Wang Mingjun was a notorious second-generation heir who always sought revenge for every grievance. Was Chen Yu not afraid of bringing trouble upon himself?

"He spoke insolently, and I couldn't hold back for a moment," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

"You all..." Just at this moment, Wang Mingjun outside the door struggled to climb to his feet; his face was covered in blood, and his body was covered in one cut after another from the glass.

"What about us?" Chen Yu asked with an innocent look on his face.
