He hadn’t paid attention earlier, and only now noticed that there were five people with Wu Yuzhen. How were they going to fit?
Their car only had five seats, but now there were seven of them in total.
“Get Wu Yuzhen in the car, we’re returning to the Wu family home. Dammit, what are you standing around for?” Wu Xingchang managed a wide yawn. “Let Wu Yuzhen sit in the front, I need to catch some more sleep in the back.”
The night before, he had stayed up late playing cards with his unsavoury friends and was awoken by a call from the Wu family home early in the morning instructing him and the driver to pick up Wu Yuzhen. So, he had been sleeping in the car.
“But, sir, there are five of them.” The driver hesitated for a moment before raising his uncertainty.
He knew that Wu Xingchang had a bad temper, especially this morning when he seemed volatile and ready to blow a fuse.
As he expected, Wu Xingchang erupted when he heard this, “Mother is giving me a hard time, is Wu Yuzhen starving now? The family head asked her to the Wu family home and she just brought everybody along with the servants? Let them catch a cab!”
Wu Xingchang lost considerable money in his card game last night, and he was still sore from it.
Wu Xingchang had little idea about the circumstances of Songhua Group, assuming it to be a small firm in Zhanshai City.
If he knew its actual net worth was over a hundred billion, it would have certainly shocked him pale.
When Mo Huasong heard Wu Xingchang express his displeasure this way, he sneered, “We had no intention of riding in the Wu family car. We can catch a cab.”
Upon hearing this, the driver became visibly flustered. He was under strict instructions from the housekeeper to pick up Wu Yuzhen. If he failed to fulfil this task and instead let them hail a cab, he was certain to be scolded by the housekeeper.
“Third young master, the housekeeper has instructed us to transport them over. If we let them take a cab, it wouldn’t look good.” The driver wore a mournful expression.
“There are five of them, how are they supposed to fit?” Wu Xingchang pondered for a moment and had to agree. Although he was the third young master, the housekeeper was the core steward of the family head, and it was better not to offend him if it could be avoided.
Suddenly, Wu Xingchang spotted Mu Fanxuan outside. His eyes lit up.
The curves of her body, the tight suit she wore, her long black stockings, her heavenly beauty – Oh my God, Wu Yuzhen had found such a ravishing secretary?
Especially since Mu Fanxuan just now on the plane had reaped Mo Huasong’s favour. The allure on her face was indescribable, and Wu Xingchang’s heart fluttered on seeing her.
Wu Xingchang hastily opened the car door, and with a gleeful smile on his face, said to Mu Fanxuan, “Hello, beautiful. My name is Wu Xingchang, and I’m the third young master of the Wu family of Capital City.”
Wu Xingchang was under the impression that his status as Wu family’s third young master from Capital City would undoubtedly dazzle anyone hailing from Zhanshai City, and they would be falling over themselves to charm him.
Eff me, this beauty looked good, way better than any other woman he’d played with before.
Mu Fanxuan saw Wu Xingchang staring at her with lustful eyes and took refuge behind Mo Huasong.
Although she “hated” Mo Huasong, in critical times she still depended on this man she both ‘hated’ and ‘loved’.
Only then did Wu Xingchang observe Mo Huasong, “Who are you? Do not block my line of sight” he quipped.
Mo Huasong was ready to release his wrath, but Wu Yuzhen hastily came over and tugged at him. She turned towards Wu Xingchang and smiled, “Third young master, my name is Wu Yuzhen. Are we on the way to the Wu family residence now?”
Even though Wu Yuzhen was indeed the daughter of the current Wu family head, the family rules were stringent. As Wu Yuzhen had already been expelled from the Wu family, she no longer held any ties with them, and was there in a visitor’s capacity.
As such, Wu Yuzhen was very polite to Wu Xingchang. She wanted to revisit the Wu family home.
“We could indeed go, but how are we all supposed to fit in your car?” Wu Xingchang glanced once again at Mu Fanxuan. “Alright, you and the beauty can come with me in my car, and the rest of you can hail a cab.”
The driver’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly agreed, “Yes yes yes, this arrangement works better.”
The housekeeper’s instruction was to transport Wu Yuzhen, he was not concerned about the rest.
Wu Yuzhen hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. “Third young master, we’ll just book a van to the Wu family home.”
“Hmmph, given this time of the day, hailing a cab is already difficult, let alone getting a van.” Wu Xingchang sneered.
Just as the words left his mouth, a Mercedes-Benz GLS, with seven seats, pulled up beside them. A well-dressed youth jumped out from the car and came running towards Mo Huasong.
On seeing the young man, Wu Xingchang’s eyes widened, “Mu Le, are you flying back to North Cloud Province?”
The newcomer, named Mu Le, was a disciple of the Mu family in North Cloud Province, resident in Capital City.
Every family outside of Capital City had operatives who lived in the capital for business purposes and handled all family affairs in the city.
Mu Le had also been deployed to Capital City for this very purpose. Initially, the Mu family was not so influential, and it was said that the Mu family head had been poisoned and was on his death bed.
However, things surprisingly took a turn the previous day for the Mu family. It was now blooming, the family head’s martial arts prowess had improved and entered the Innate Transformation Realm, and the second son had also achieved Innate entry-level martial arts.
What was even more astounding was the incident last night where the Mu family annihilated the Lei family, quarried all of the Lei family’s property and wealth, and emerged as the most powerful family in North Cloud Province, also becoming a formidable First-Level Sect.
Most importantly the young Mu En, who, in his prime, had achieved Innate entry-level martial arts, could also fight across different ranks. His future potential was immeasurable, and every major figure was taking notice of the Mu family.
As news of the Mu family’s recent exploits spread across Capital City this morning, many members of other major families started to feel somewhat intimidated.
Wu Xingchang has had dinner with Mu Le before, and they had had a couple of conversations.
He heard that the oldest of the Mu family had died, and the second oldest would be succeeding him, meaning every young member of the family would be summoned back to North Cloud Province to assume a crucial role in the family affairs.
Although Mu Le wasn’t the heir to the Mu family, he heard that Mu Le was on good terms with Young Master Mu En and it was likely that upon his return to the Mu family, he would be entrusted with important responsibilities, including taking over the Lei family’s conglomerate.
Even though Wu Xingchang was the third young master of the Capital City’s Wu family, it was merely an honor in name. The actual control of Wu family lay with his uncles’ generation. The third generation members, like him, were just involved in some business to make money, all under the pretext of gaining experience.
If he nurtured a good relationship with Mu Le and expanded his business into North Cloud Province, he would undoubtedly earn profit. Also, the family head would see him in a different light.
Today, every circle in Capital City was quietly discussing the Mu family of North Cloud Province, predicting that within a decade, the Mu family might evolve into a super family.
These heirs were all too aware of how powerful a superfamily or a sect could be.
Therefore, on seeing Mu Le, Wu Xingchang felt obliged to brown-nose him, hoping that in the future, Mu Le might help him get acquainted with Young Master Mu En.
Mu Le heard the call from Wu Xingchang, shook his head dismissively, and did not utter a word. Instead, he ran straight toward Mo Huasong, then bending over in a deep bow, he respectfully apologized, “Mr. Mo, I’m sorry, as there was a traffic jam on the way, I arrived a bit late. Please feel free to punish me.”
“Mu Le, what are you doing?” Wu Xingchang’s face drained, shocked at the scene unfolding before him.
