Chapter 772: Chapter 771: Looking for Trouble, Supporting the Scene, Minor Issues

The people around awkwardly watched Jiang Linyan, and although Mu Chengxi dared to make such a move in front of Jiang Linyan, they did not.

Gu Yanzhe walked beside Mu Chengxi, watching Mu Chengxi pull out a chair for Wen Xin and let her sit down.

He leaned close to Mu Chengxi and whispered, “Master Xi, these people…”

“Take the opportunity to clean them up properly. Since he wants to play both sides, just capsize his boat and let him sink.”

Mu Chengxi’s eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at those standing around, unsure of what to do. His voice was cool and not deliberately lowered as he intended to warn those people.

Mu Chengxu rose from the couch and gave a slight nod to Nan Xu sitting beside him, “Miss Nan, let’s go have dinner together.”

Naturally, Nan Xu did not hesitate either. She elegantly stood up and walked with Mu Chengxu toward the direction of the dining table.

The words that Mu Chengxi had just spoken were heard clearly by everyone in the hall, and they instantly understood that now was the time to pick sides.

Although none of them wanted to offend anyone, the situation did not give them much choice. They all nodded slightly to Jiang Linyan before walking over and sitting down at the dining table.

Just then, a waitress walked in from outside. Seeing Jiang Linyan, whose expression was not very good, she suddenly became nervous. She had definitely checked the seats, so why was there still someone standing here?

“Miss, is the seating arrangement not sufficient? I’ll go take care of it right away!”

“No need.” After saying that, Jiang Linyan angrily walked out of the private room in her high heels.

The departure of Jiang Linyan unconsciously relieved the previously tense people; they were fearful of getting caught in a battle of gods, which could spell disaster for them in the end.

Before Jiang Linyan’s arrival, the atmosphere in their private room had been quite harmonious, but now everyone was keeping their heads down, afraid to speak, worried that a wrong word could turn them into cannon fodder.

After leaving the private room where Mu Chengxi was, Jiang Linyan entered her own, furiously slamming the door shut, her eyes full of indignation.

“Didn’t you send an invitation? Why did you come back full of anger? Did they bully you?” A man in a black tailored suit sat on the couch, looking at Jiang Linyan with a faint smile.

Although their relationship was merely a collaboration, Xiao Ci, out of curiosity, still wanted to know who had angered her.

“You don’t need to worry about this. I will handle it myself!”

This matter was Jiang Linyan’s own business, and she didn’t need anyone else to resolve it for her. She wanted to personally deal with Wen Xin to truly feel the thrill.

She was very much looking forward to the day when she would settle the score with Wen Xin, wondering if Wen Xin would still be as arrogant as she was today.

After dinner, Mu Chengxi’s gaze fell on Yuan Junye, who was by Mu Chengxu’s side. He half-closed his eyes, watching Yuan Junye take care of Mu Chengxu.

Although it wasn’t as meticulous as his care for Wen Xin, it was still gentle and considerate, and the irritation in his heart gradually eased a lot.

Wen Xin, with one arm propped on the table and her palm supporting her cheek, turned her head to look at Mu Chengxi.

“Isn’t it said that the club owner personally offers toasts here? Why don’t we have that honor today?”

Wen Xin had barely started speaking when everyone at the dining table unconsciously turned to look at her, then, with some difficulty, turned to look at Yuan Junye.

“This… we are not sure, if Miss Wen needs it, I can have the waiter arrange it…”

Not knowing why Wen Xin wanted to do this, but with Yuan Junye present, they really didn’t dare to imagine what the scene would be like if the Yuan family’s second son appeared here.

“Wen Xin, it’s not really necessary, is it?” Mu Chengxu spoke up to stop Wen Xin’s actions, unsure whether Wen Xin was doing this deliberately or not but always feeling it wasn’t quite right.

After entering the club, Mu Chengxu continued to learn about the club’s backer, and had even specifically asked Yuan Junye if he felt awkward; if he did, they could also choose not to enter.

“Is that so? If sister thinks it’s unnecessary, then I must have been presumptuous,” Wen Xin said, giving Mu Chengxu a faint smile, completely concealing her current emotions.

Just as Wen Xin finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and without waiting for anyone to speak, the door to the private room was pushed open and Yuan Er walked in carrying a bottle of Maotai from outside.

When Yuan Er saw Yuan Junye, his brows tightly furrowed together, but he quickly switched to a fawning demeanor.

“I also just heard that Master Xi and Ling Yichen and others came here to eat. I’ve been too busy, and I hope Master Xi doesn’t blame me for not welcoming him properly!”

Yuan Er made a respectful face towards Mu Chengxi, holding up a wine glass in a toasting gesture.

Mu Chengxi watched Yuan Er’s action and gave no reaction, his dark, deep eyes revealing no discernible emotion.

“Master Xi…”

Not getting any response from Mu Chengxi for a long time, Yuan Er tentatively called out to Mu Chengxi again.

Mu Chengxi lifted his gaze and looked at Yuan Er faintly, his lips slightly curling up, “I’m only here to eat today, not to drink. You can toast someone else, I’m sorry.”

Mu Chengxi declined Yuan Er’s toast very politely but his gaze fell on Yuan Junye, seemingly reminding Yuan Er that he could toast Yuan Junye instead.

Following Mu Chengxi’s gaze, Yuan Er looked at Yuan Junye and just happened to catch Yuan Junye serving food to Mu Chengxu; he was shocked and couldn’t believe the scene he was witnessing.

He couldn’t believe that Yuan Junye could climb up to Mu Chengxu, knowing what family the Mu family were, how could they possibly fancy an unwanted bastard from the Yuan family.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the private room was very quiet, even eerily silent; no one dared to speak, no one dared to break the silence, feeling like they were in an Asura Arena.

Wen Xin lifted her hand and tapped her fingers on the table, letting out a light laugh, then spoke to Yuan Junye in a gentle tone, “President Yuan, don’t always look after our sister, haven’t you seen? Young Master Yuan Er is ready to toast you!”

“Be it your current social status or your identity as the eldest son of the Yuan family, accepting this glass of wine isn’t too much! So don’t hold back.”

Wen Xin’s words silenced everyone aware of Yuan Junye’s identity, as they had not expected Wen Xin to be so bold, openly making a jest of the Yuan family’s affairs.

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin’s expression, his face fondly smiling, he always liked watching Wen Xin stir things up, her arrogance suited her personality perfectly.

Yuan Junye lifted his head upon Wen Xin’s words; he was very clear about Wen Xin’s intentions, and understood that she was trying to vent for him.
