Lu Zheng quickly picked Su Fei up and left anxiously.
Su Zhen and Su Lin hurriedly followed.
Without Su Fei’s shouts, the banquet hall was much quieter.
Lin Yin smiled at everyone and said, “I’m sorry, everyone. There was a small interlude. It’s fine now. Everyone, continue!”
Everyone looked at each other and their gazes swept across Mu Xiao’s face. Then, they looked away and dispersed.
Lu Yan looked at Mu Xiao worriedly and asked, “Brother Mu Xiao, is Su Fei’s hand really going to be crippled? Did you really do it? Or is Su Fei pretending?”
Lu Yan did not see Mu Xiao’s attack just now, but Su Fei’s hand did not hurt like she was pretending. It hurt so much that her face was about to twist.
Mu Xiao nodded and smiled. “She’s betting that I won’t really attack. I have to say that she made the right bet. However, if she wants to gamble, I can’t disappoint her. I’ll let her feel what it’s like to lose her hand.”
Mu Heng smiled and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen you punish someone so brazenly in front of everyone. In the past, didn’t you scheme behind their backs?”
Mu Xiao widened his eyes at Mu Heng and said accusingly, “Brother, you’re being unkind. How can you badmouth me in front of Yinyin? If Yinyin doesn’t like me because of this, don’t blame me for making you the next person to scheme against.”
Mu Xiao’s words made the surrounding people have different expressions.
Mu Xiao used the word ‘like’. It seemed like Mu Xiao was also coveting Lin Yin. This made Lu Yan break out in cold sweat for her uncle.
For the sake of her uncle’s future happiness, Lu Yan decisively dragged Lin Yin to socialize. Her uncle was not around, so she had to protect her future aunt.
Looking at Lin Yin who was pulled away, Mu Heng’s expression did not look good. He felt that he had to find a time to have a good chat with Mu Xiao. He needed to know Mu Xiao’s true thoughts.
Even if he secretly thought that it was impossible for Mu Xiao to snatch a woman from Mu Ran, feelings were hard to say. If Mu Xiao lost control and the two brothers fought for the same woman, it would be troublesome.
Mu Heng said meaningfully, “I’ll quickly send a video to Mu Ran. He’s afraid of causing trouble for Yinyin and didn’t appear today. I’ll send a video to update him.”
Seeing that Mu Xiao did not have any other expression, Mu Heng relaxed a little and thought that perhaps he was thinking too much.
Then, Mu Heng continued, “Actually, it’s not bad if Mu Ran likes Yinyin. It’s Mu
Ran who’s out of her league. Indeed, fortune favors fools.”
Mu Heng’s relaxed heart instantly panicked when he saw Mu Xiao’s sudden frown.
However, at this moment, Mu Xiao was worried that it would be bad if Mu Ran really developed romantic feelings for Lin Yin. It seemed like he had to find a time to quickly make Lin Yin acknowledge her roots and ancestors.
Mu Xiao’s troubled expression seemed like he was frustrated that he fell in love with someone that his brother liked in Mu Heng’s eyes.
Seeing that there was no one around, Mu Heng was about to say something when Mu Xiao said, “I have something on and have to leave first. Watch Yinyin. I’m afraid that Lu Zheng will come back and make things difficult for Yinyin.” Mu Heng nodded. Before he could say a word, Mu Xiao left.
Mu Heng had a headache, but he could only put down his worries and walk towards Lin Yin.
Other than Lu Zheng and the Su Family’s accident, the rest of the banquet was still very successful.
However, the Mu family’s protection of Lin Yin was also widely publicized.
Old Master Lu looked at the news in his hand and panicked. He called Lu Zheng and Lu Ming back in the middle of the night.
Lu Ming, who had just come out of the closed meeting, did not have time to read the other messages before his grandfather rushed him back.
As for Lu Zheng, he was called back to the hospital at the last minute. Before he left, Su Fei looked at Lu Zheng pitifully, making Lu Zheng’s heart ache so much that he almost did not want to go back.
However, after being urged by Old Master Lu a few times, Lu Zheng could only return obediently.
At the door of the study, Lu Zheng panicked when he saw Lu Ming return in a hurry. He thought that Lu Ming had complained to his grandfather.
Therefore, as soon as they entered, Lu Zheng immediately complained,
“Grandpa, Third Brother used money to buy a corporation for his mistress. In the end, his mistress actually bullied someone maliciously.”
Lu Zheng had thought that his grandfather would be more neutral after his explanation. Unexpectedly, before Old Master Lu could speak, Lu Ming spoke first.. “You went to the annual meeting of the Shisheng Corporation today?”
