There are many secrets in big families, and the Mu family is even more secretive. Based on the gossips about Mu Yingfeng back then, people with some knowledge can make a rough guess that the seventh child must have been born to the fourth wife who passed away many years ago.

As the second wife, Song Si could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, so naturally she wanted to expel all the other competitive sons of the Mu family from Shengjing, and she did it. Now the second branch of the Mu family is officially in power, and the highest power is in the hands of Mu Guichao.

A guest walked up to Mu Guichao, raised his glass and clinked it with his, then said with a smile, "Guichao, you're being too mean. Why didn't you introduce such a handsome brother to us earlier?"

Mu Guichao was obviously in much better condition after taking the medicine. He curled his lips and even waved to Mu Yanchen generously, asking him to come to the stage, looking like a respectful brother.

Since Mu Guichao had such intention, no matter whether Mu Yanchen agreed or not, someone else would carry him to the stage. At this time, two security guards appeared behind Mu Yanchen. Mu Yanchen glanced at them coldly, put down the champagne in his hand leisurely, and walked towards the stage.

Mu Guichao glanced at Mu Yanchen who was getting closer and closer, but his eyes fell on the guest, "It's not that I don't want to introduce him, it's that this little brother has been a loner since he was a child, and he doesn't like such lively banquets the most. This time, it was only after my repeated requests that he came here."

After hearing what Mu Guichao said, the guests' favorable impression of Mu Yanchen was greatly reduced, and they became even colder towards Mu Yanchen who had already walked onto the stage. However, he still extended his hand, showing goodwill. After all, they were all sons of the Mu family, and there was no need to make enemies. However, the extent of the interaction depended on Mu Guichao's intention.

Mu Yanchen didn't even look at the guests. He paced forward, his sleeves gently brushing the guests' fingertips without leaving a cloud.

The guest's stiff hand floated in the air. It was not right to put it down, but it was also embarrassing to continue. He curled his fingertips hard, his knuckles turned white, and he pursed his lips. He turned around, unable to control his emotions, and stared at Mu Yanchen's back fiercely.

Mu Yanchen's cold voice sounded, just like this person, "Why did Third Brother look for me?"

Mu Guichao seemed satisfied with Mu Yanchen's move and did not embarrass him. "I heard that Miss Li likes you very much, so I called you over as she requested. Although I know you don't like crowds, can you please give me some face?"

Mu Yanchen curled the corners of his lips almost imperceptibly, "I'm here now, aren't I?"

He turned and looked at Li Rao, as if he was looking at a stranger, with no emotion in his pupils, "Ms. Li, long time no see."

Li Rao was still in the excitement of Mu Yanchen walking onto the stage and being the center of attention. This effect was brought about by her! Looking at all the young ladies from wealthy families present, none of them were as effective as her words, so Mu Yanchen should know her value, and this was enough to win him over.

Li Rao smiled confidently, flamboyantly and wantonly, completely ignoring Mu Guichao, the protagonist of the banquet, and only had room for Mu Yanchen in her eyes. "Mu Yanchen, long time no see. If I hadn't mentioned you, would you not have come to say hello to me tonight?"

The people on the stage felt a little awkward because of the talk that ignored everyone around them, and their expressions became subtle.

Li Cheng looked at this and that, feeling like he was being pricked by a thorn, he quickly stepped forward and pulled Li Rao off the stage, and as he walked off, he did not forget to apologize to Mu Guichao, "Mr. Mu, my sister has been spoiled since she was a child and doesn't know the rules, please bear with me if I have offended you in any way!"

Mu Guichao raised his glass and said, "Your sister is a true person. I wish us a pleasant cooperation!"

As he said this, he didn't even look at Li Chengyi and drank half a glass of champagne. In front of so many guests, this dumb man made fun of Li Chengyi, but he couldn't say anything else.

Mu Guichao's statement of not minding was only based on their cooperation. If the cooperation could not be achieved, Li Rao didn't know what would happen. Fortunately, the ending was still good. At least it could be solved by spending money. When Li Cheng saw the half glass of champagne that Mu Guichao drank, he was actually relieved. He was afraid that he would not drink it!

"What are you doing, brother! Let go!" Li Rao refused to give in. She glanced at Mu Yanchen on the stage and felt that she was really embarrassed at the moment. Being pulled off the stage by her own brother in front of her lover, how could this be?

But Li Chengyi had no intention of letting her go. This was the first time that Li Chengyi made a decision against her will.

He gripped her wrist with such force that it hurt so much that she felt it would leave purple bruises. It was not until they reached the garden that Li Rao felt Li Chengyi's hand loosen. She shook it off with all her might.

Her almond-shaped eyes, full of arrogance, glared at Li Chengyi angrily, "Brother! What's wrong with you? Can't you see that Mu Yanchen responded to me? Why did you drag me to the garden? There is nothing here!"

Li Chengyi shouted, "Shut up, do you know what you just did? Even Mu Yanchen doesn't dare to be arrogant in front of his brother, what do you think gives you the right to do that?"

"It's because Mu Yanchen didn't dare to show off in front of his brother that I just helped him! Why should I do that? Of course I rely on my brother, you!"

"You!" Li Chengyi felt that he couldn't convince Li Rao no matter how he talked. There was no one here, so his anger subsided. After taking a few deep breaths, he continued, "Do you know that your actions just now will only hurt him! And you, if Mu Guichao is still willing to cooperate with me, then I guess he won't touch you, but if you continue to be so unscrupulous in front of Mu Guichao, I'm afraid he won't even look down on our cooperation!"

Li Rao opened her almond-shaped eyes, full of doubt, "Is he really that powerful?"

Li Chengyi snorted, "Shengjing Mu family, do you think our Haibin Li family can compare?"

"Then why was Mu Yanchen sent to H City? His family is so powerful, it doesn't cost much to raise him!"

Li Cheng's eyes darkened. "It's not that simple. Their family is different from ours. There are only two of us in our family, but they admit that there are four families, and Mu Yingfeng is still alive."

"But I think Mu Guichao is a good person. He looks at me very kindly, even softer than Mu Yanchen looks at me."

Li Rao patted Li Chengyi on the shoulder, "It's okay, brother. What can he do to me?"

Li Chengyi was amused by Li Rao's naivety, but he felt like a weight was weighing on his heart. He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled indulgently, "You are the most innocent. You are not on guard against anyone. But I am here to warn you, don't mess with anyone in the Mu family, including Mu Yanchen, okay? They are not people you can mess with."

"No! Only Mu Yanchen, I will never agree to it!"

Li Rao changed her playful face and after saying this, she pushed Li Cheng away and ran towards the depths of the garden.
