“Second Uncle, I believe you know better than me about the issue of the Liu family’s project. Some things can’t be solved by deceiving your superiors and subordinates. Tomorrow, I will arrange for the supervision company to inspect the project. If there are any problems, you will be fully responsible!”

Mu Chengxi raised his eyes and looked at the people standing behind, observing the commotion. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and the coldness in his eyes made everyone lower their heads involuntarily. No one dared to say that they had not done anything wrong.

“Since today is the day of the family banquet, I’ll confess something to everyone. I didn’t want to be the head of the Mu family, but before my grandfather died, he stuffed the tiger head seal into my hand and told me that he wouldn’t be at ease handing the Mu family over to anyone.”

Mu Chengxi took his hand out of his pocket. He picked up the tiger head seal placed on the table and played with it in his hand. The image of the playboy prince spilled out of his bones again.

“Now, the Mu Clan’s seal is in my hands. Whether you admit it or not, it doesn’t change the fact that I am the Clan Head. Today’s matter with the Liu Clan and the Qin Clan is just a warning. If you are unhappy with me, you can say whatever you want. However, I’m very sorry if I hear anyone badmouthing Wen Xin. I’ve never known what it means to be soft-hearted!”

When Mu Chengxi finished speaking, he walked to Fifth Uncle Mu Jindong’s side. “Fifth Uncle, let’s go to the Enforcement Hall to look.”

Mu Chengxi’s fifth uncle had always managed the Enforcement Hall. He was also the only elder who knew about Mu Chengxi’s identity as the head of the family other than Old Madam Mu.

Mu Chengxi respected him very much, and he was worthy of his respect. He was a man of integrity and justice, and he handled the matters of the Law Enforcement Hall properly.

In the Mu family, Mu Chengxi had the best relationship with him.

Mu Jindong followed Chengxi and left Old Madam Mu’s courtyard. When the people from the Law Enforcement Hall heard that they were going to the Law Enforcement Hall, they all left together.

Mu Chengxi entered the Law Enforcement Hall at the age of thirteen. Within three months, he defeated the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall and became a legend in the Law Enforcement Hall.

Many people had never seen Mu Chengxi before, but many knew about the legend that Chengxi created.

They looked at Mu Chengxi with respect and admiration. When they found out that he was the head of the Mu family, they were all excited.

After Mu Chengxi left Old Madam Mu’s courtyard, there were less than half of the people in the courtyard. It did not look as depressing as before.

Mu Jinsong could not accept the fact that the head of the Mu family had fallen into Mu Chengxi’s hands. He looked at Old Madam Mu angrily. “Mother, we are your sons. We can’t say anything if you favor Mu Chengxi, but we can’t accept the position of the head of the family being handed over to him!”

“Not convinced?” Old Madam Mu raised her eyes and looked at Mu Jinsong. Then she swept her gaze across the crowd who had yet to leave.

“You shouldn’t have come to me if you’re not convinced. I don’t have the right to handle this matter. Your father decided this before he died. As Chengxi said, you can go underground and argue with your father if you have any objections.

I don’t have the right to handle this matter!”

Mu Old Madam calmly looked at her sons, her tone unruffled and composed. No discernible attitude could be detected in her speech.

A simple sentence,” Old Master Mu made the decision before his death “, left everyone speechless.

“Alright, things have been made clear. Mu Chengxi has also revealed his identity as the head of the Mu family. From now on, the head of the Mu family will be Mu Chengxi. I hope that you can get along well. Chengxi has also said he doesn’t care if you have any opinions about him, but his bottom line is Wen Xin. I hope you will remember not to do those brainless things again!”

“Let’s go. Today’s family banquet is over!”

Old Madam Mu was not in the mood to eat with these people. She did not expect Mu Chengxi to cause trouble for Wen Xin before the family banquet had even started. He even announced that he was the head of the Mu family.

She and Old Master Mu had put in a lot of effort to make Mu Chengxi accept the Mu family head.

Now, all the hard work that she and Old Master Mu had put in could not compare to the woman that Mu Chengxi placed in his heart.

However, it was good now that Mu Chengxi’s identity as the head of the Mu family had been announced. The Mu family should be able to settle down and regain some peace and quiet.

At the old madam’s order, everyone left the old madam’s courtyard with their own thoughts.

The Mu family’s banquet ended unhappily under such circumstances.

Mu Jinyan sat beside the old lady and looked at her. He sighed slowly.” Mother, how could you let Chengxi take over the position of the head of the family? The Mu family is too… it’s too complicated. Chengxi will be trapped by the Mu family for the rest of his life!”

“That’s what you think. I saw Chengxi handling the Mu family’s affairs with ease. He’s much better than you. If you hadn’t known that your father was going to hand the Mu family over to you, you would have run away overnight. Do you think your father would have nurtured Chengxi again? Do you know how much Chengxi has suffered? He’s worthy of the position of the Mu family’s head!”

“You have no right to speak here. If Chengxi wasn’t outstanding enough, would your father still acknowledge you as his son?”

Old Madam Mu looked at Mu Jinyan. After she finished speaking, she did not forget to snort angrily. She thought of Mu Chengxi’s hardships and felt that it was all Mu Jinyan’s fault.

Mu Jinyan was rendered speechless by Old Madam Mu’s words. Back then, he had ignored her objections and insisted on leaving the Mu family because he could tell that his father wanted to hand the Mu family over to him. He did not want to accept it.

However, he did not expect that Old Master Mu would actually place his attention on Mu Chengxi…

“Mom… 1…”

“Alright, stop talking. Chengxi is more outstanding than you think. To Chengxi, the Mu family is not a cage to trap him. His unruly personality cannot be trapped by the Mu family alone. He is much stronger than you think. Can’t you tell from the development of the Liang and Gu families?”

When Mu Jinyan heard Old Madam Mu’s words, he thought about it for a moment and was a little shocked. The Liang and Gu families had developed by leaps and bounds in the past two years. The outside world thought that the Liang and Gu families relied on the Mu family’s power, but Mu Jinyan knew that the Liang and Gu families had no business dealings with the Mu family.

“It’s fine as long as you know what’s going on. Don’t complicate matters or have ill intentions. Don’t cause trouble for Chengxi!” Old Madam Mu looked at Mu Jinyan coldly. As a father, he should not be a burden to his son if he could not share his burden.

“Mom, I know!”

Wei Manqing, who had been silent all this while, walked to Old Madam Mu’s side and respectfully served her a cup of tea.

“Mom, your health is more important. Don’t let these things affect your health.

I’ve asked the butler to prepare dinner and bring it over.. We’ll eat with you!”
