A minute later, the cell phone rang again. Mu Ningxi glanced at Huo Beichen who was sitting next to her, concentrating on reading documents, put her finger on the hang-up button and pressed it again.

This time, before a minute had passed, the bell rang again.

Mu Ningxi regretted so much why she agreed to let Huo Beichen take her home.

"I've called you so many times, there must be something urgent. Why don't you answer?" Maybe he couldn't stand the harassment of the ringing, but Huo Beichen put down the documents in his hand, looked at Mu Ningxi inquiringly, and asked.

After thinking for a few seconds, Mu Ningxi answered the phone.

What if, as he said, my second uncle has something urgent to tell me?

If she didn't think so, Mu Ningxi would not be able to find an excuse to answer the call.

After all, she had probably guessed the purpose of her second uncle's call.

"Ning Xi, Xin'er is ignorant and has affected your marriage certificate with Tianbo. Second uncle will bring her to say sorry to you." The apologetic voice of second uncle Mu Yuande was heard on the phone.

It turns out that you all know that Meng Tianbo and I cannot get the marriage certificate today, and I am the only one who is kept in the dark.

Mu Yuande's words chilled Mu Ningxi's heart, and she remained silent.

Mu Ningxi thought she couldn't say "It's okay" magnanimously.

Dozens of seconds passed, and Mu Yuande, who could no longer hold back, took the initiative to speak: "Ning Xi, the Liu family is holding a banquet in a few days. Can you go instead of Xin Er? You know, she is in Bincheng for an audition now, and I'm afraid she won't be able to make it back in time."

It turns out that the apology was fake, but letting me attend the party was real. Second uncle, you went straight to the point without even laying any groundwork. Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon that's so easy to bully?

The person who had an ambiguous relationship with Liu family's fourth master Liu Wenbo was your daughter Mu Xiner. After causing trouble, she just walked away and wanted me to clean up this mess. Second uncle, second uncle, you are too cunning.

Recalling the gossip he had heard some time ago, Mu Ningxi replied in a cold voice: "Second Uncle, the person that Fourth Master Liu wants to see is Xin'er, so it may not be appropriate for me to go."

"Ning Xi, don't listen to what others say. Xin'er is so innocent, how could she be related to Mr. Liu Si?" On the phone, Mu Yuande harshly accused Mu Ningxi.

Simple, if your daughter is simple, then there is no simple person in this world.

It was obviously Mu Xiner who provoked Liu Wenbo first. Afterwards, the other party wanted to marry her, but Mu Xiner was unwilling to be the stepmother of his two children. She insisted that Liu Wenbo send his children abroad, and that's how the relationship between the two became strained.

Unexpectedly, just after he got rid of Liu Wenbo, he got together with Meng Tianbo. How could Liu Wenbo swallow this?

Perhaps this will affect the Mu family's business. After all, in the capital, although the Liu family's status is not as high as the Huo family, it should not be underestimated.

No wonder my second uncle made this call with such a flattering attitude, it turns out he wanted me to help Mu Xiner put out the fire.

"Uncle, I'll hang up if there's nothing else." Mu Ningxi had a sneer on her face.

"Ning Xi, your surname is also Mu, you have to consider the overall situation." Mu Yuande's angry voice came from the phone.

My last name is Mu, but have you ever considered me a member of the Mu family?

When grandpa was alive, my second uncle's family was quite polite to Mu Ningxi, but after grandpa passed away last year, my second uncle's family's attitude towards Mu Ningxi became worse and worse.

Now, I don’t even pretend.

"Uncle, I have no interest in the Mu family's business. You are the one in charge of the Mu family now. It should be your daughter Mu Xiner who should help you solve your problems, not your niece like me."

After saying that, without waiting for Mu Yuande to express his opinion, Mu Ningxi hung up the phone.

When grandpa was alive, Mu Ningxi tolerated her second uncle's family in everything in order to make him happy. Now that grandpa is gone, there is no need for her to endure it anymore.

As for the matter that needed to be investigated, Mu Ningxi believed that even if she had a falling out with her second uncle's family, with her abilities, she would be able to get to the bottom of the matter.

Mom and Dad, I will definitely give you justice.

Putting down the phone, Mu Ningxi turned around and saw Huo Beichen staring at her.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Mu Ningxi pursed her lips, a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

"Our names are now on the same marriage certificate. I don't want your family affairs to affect me." Huo Beichen looked at Mu Ningxi with a calm expression.

"I understand. I will handle it and won't cause you any trouble." Mu Ningxi understood his words immediately.

"It's a pleasure working with you!" Her answer was exactly what Huo Beichen wanted. He extended a hand to Mu Ningxi and chuckled.

"Happy cooperation!" After staring at the hand he extended for a few seconds, Mu Ningxi shook it back and repeated his words.

In the living room of the Mu family, Liu Yunzhi, who was sitting next to Mu Yuande, asked, "What did she say? Did she agree?"

"This damn girl actually dared to hang up on me!" Mu Yuande suddenly threw the phone to the ground, with a hint of unwillingness in his tone.

The sound of the phone falling to the ground frightened Liu Yunzhi so much that she trembled. After calming down, she looked up at Mu Yuande and said, "I've said before that this girl is not an easy person to deal with, but you didn't believe me. Anyway, I don't care. No matter what, you can't let Xin'er go to the Liu family."

"You think I don't know, but if this girl really doesn't go, how should I explain to Liu Wenbo?" Mu Yuande understood the meaning of Liu Yunzhi's words, and he was in a dilemma.

Given Liu Wenbo's vengeful character, Mu Xiner's attendance at the banquet would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

Mu Yuande and his wife had originally planned to let Mu Ningxi replace Mu Xiner to deal with the lustful Liu Wenbo, but who knew that Mu Ningxi would refuse so bluntly this time.

"If she doesn't want to go, can't you find a way to make her go?" Seeing Mu Yuande worried, Liu Yunzhi snorted coldly.

"In the past, the old man could intimidate her, but now that he is gone, who can take care of her?" Liu Yunzhi's words caused Mu Yuande to sigh.

Liu Yunzhi rolled her eyes at Mu Yuande and said in dissatisfaction, "You are the chairman of the Mu Corporation, but you can't even think of such a simple solution. Think about it, who else has she been close to besides the old man?"

"What you mean is, if that happens, our plan will have to be postponed again. Will Xin'er agree?" Mu Yuande became indecisive.

"We are helping her clear the obstacles. How could she be unwilling? Just make the decision. I'll make the call right away." Compared to Mu Yuande's many concerns, Liu Yunzhi did not think so much.

Liu Yun'er is happy to do anything as long as it is beneficial to Mu Xin'er.
