The husband I got is actually the heir to a wealthy family

Ignoring Shen Ping, Mu Ningxi turned around and went back to the kitchen. Outside everyone was talking about Liu Yunzhi's romantic affairs, and Mu Ningxi didn't want to go out and get into trouble. The kitchen became the place where she felt safest at the moment.

Mu Ningxi planned to stay in the kitchen for a while, and then find a chance to leave after the crowd dispersed. She would never come to the Mu family again.

Sitting on a chair, Mu Ningxi was browsing her phone when a figure suddenly stood in front of her. Looking up, Mu Ningxi saw Mu Wanzhen's assistant at a glance.

Mu Ningxi sneered and said, "Why, which guest does your old lady want to introduce me to today?"

After Liu Yunzhi's accident, Mu Wanzhen suddenly became the protagonist of tonight's banquet. Mu Ningxi had seen her through the kitchen window, constantly moving among the crowd, and didn't know what she was saying to those people.

Probably explaining to them that wonderful thing that happened earlier!

Mu Ningxi thought secretly in her heart.

Fortunately, Liu Yunzhi got into trouble, otherwise, as the protagonist of today's birthday party, Mu Wanzhen would never have the chance to become the real protagonist.

Mu Ningxi felt amused when she thought that Mu Wanzhen had overstepped her bounds and became the only spokesperson for the Mu family today.

Before Mu Yuande and Liu Yunzhi designed all this, they certainly would not have thought that this would be the result.

When talking with Mu Wanzhen in the side hall before, Mu Ningxi had already heard from the other party's dissatisfied tone that Mu Wanzhen did not know that the theme of today's banquet was a birthday party for her.

Later, Mu Ningxi got confirmation from Ning Zhegang that Ning Zhegang, who was personally invited by Mu Wanzhen, did not know that today was Mu Wanzhen's birthday party.

Hearing Mu Ningxi's question, the assistant showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. Staring at Mu Ningxi, the assistant said in a friendly manner: "Miss, the old lady really wants to discuss something with you this time."

"Oh, is there anything she needs to discuss with me?" Mu Ningxi seemed to be asking, but also seemed to be talking to herself.

Hearing that Mu Ningxi didn't really want to hear the answer from him, the assistant stayed quietly aside without saying a word.

Since you have nothing to do anyway, you might as well go and listen to what Mu Wanzhen has to say. Such a scandal has just happened in the Mu family, and Mu Wanzhen should not cause any more trouble at this time and make a fool of herself for others.

Mu Ningxi was certain that Mu Wanzhen would not dare to act rashly at this critical moment.

Having made up his mind, Mu Ningxi stood up from his chair and told his assistant, "Lead the way!"

Seeing that Mu Ningxi was willing to accompany him to see Mu Wanzhen, the assistant nodded gratefully and then took Mu Ningxi upstairs.

The assistant brought Mu Ningxi into Mu Wanzhen's previous bedroom in the old house, which was next to Grandpa Mu's bedroom.

Listening to the noise coming from next door from time to time, Mu Ningxi couldn't help frowning after entering the house.

"Ning Xi, this is the room I lived in before. There are some things I don't want outsiders to hear, so I have to inconvenience you temporarily." Seeing the disgust on Mu Ningxi's face, Mu Wanzhen hurriedly explained.

Unexpectedly, Mu Wanzhen would speak to her in such a kind tone. Mu Ningxi raised her eyebrows and made an indifferent expression.

Seeing this, Mu Wanzhen waved to her assistant, who understood and immediately left the room, considerately closing the door for them.

After the door was closed, the noise next door became quieter.

"There are no outsiders here, and you don't need to pretend in front of me. Just say whatever you want to say." Unable to bear Mu Wanzhen's sudden change of attitude, Mu Ningxi made a request indifferently.

"Ning Xi, it seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of me, alas!" Hearing Mu Ningxi say this, Mu Wanzhen sighed softly.

Mu Ningxi stared at Mu Wanzhen without saying anything. She wanted to see what Mu Wanzhen wanted to do by calling her here at this time.

"Ning Xi, I am really surprised that something like this happened today. I never thought Yunzhi would do such a thing. In this way, she has completely disgraced the Mu family."

After waiting for a while, seeing that Mu Ningxi didn't say anything, Mu Wanzhen spoke again.

Not knowing Mu Wanzhen's intention, Mu Ningxi remained silent.

"Ning Xi, I'm sure you know very well that after what happened today, the Mu family's status in the capital will definitely decline sharply, and the Mu family's business will be even more affected."

"Even the Meng family will definitely think that what happened today made them lose face, and will be dissatisfied with the Mu family. Xin'er and Tianbo's marriage may also be affected by what happened today."

Mu Wanzhen sighed again, her tone becoming a little excited.

If the Mu family collapses, Mu Wanzhen will definitely not have a good life. Although she really wants to take over the Mu family from Mu Yuande, she has never thought of using this method.

What use is there for the fallen Mu family?

For herself and the Mu family, Mu Wanzhen had to make some efforts. At this time, perhaps the only one who could help her was Mu Ningxi.

If Mu Ningxi is willing to help her, then the next president of Mu Corporation will definitely be her, Mu Wanzhen.

Before asking her assistant to find Mu Ningxi, Mu Wanzhen had already thought about what to do next.

"What do these things have to do with me?" Mu Ningxi once again found Mu Wanzhen's words ridiculous.

Even after being told many times, why didn't Mu Wanzhen understand? The affairs of the Mu family had nothing to do with her, Mu Ningxi.

Hearing Mu Ningxi ask this, Mu Wanzhen cursed in her heart: You little stinky girl, I will slowly deal with you after the Mu family gets through this difficult time.

"Ning Xi, I know we did wrong things in the past and did many things that hurt you. Here, I apologize to you."

Although she was very unhappy, Mu Wanzhen had to lower her posture for the sake of face.

If you need help from others, you have to act like you are asking for help. Having lived to such an old age, how could Mu Wanzhen not understand these principles?

"Why, do you want to use me to help the Mu family again?" Seeing Mu Wanzhen's intention, Mu Ningxi asked back.

Mu Wanzhen looked at Mu Ningxi, shook her head gently, and said helplessly: "Ningxi, I know I was wrong before and shouldn't have done that. I promise that I will never do anything that goes against your wishes again."

"Here, I just hope you can show some mercy and stop targeting the Mu family. After what happened today, the Mu family can no longer withstand any disturbance."

Seeing that Mu Ningxi was a soft-hearted person, Mu Wanzhen changed her strategy and no longer confronted Mu Ningxi head-on as before. She planned to give in and admit defeat, first establish a good relationship with Mu Ningxi, and then wait for an opportunity to use her to achieve her desired goals.

"Please be merciful and let them go, but are they willing to let me go?" Mu Ningxi asked again.

Without waiting for Mu Wanzhen to respond, Mu Ningxi continued, "With your intelligence and wisdom, how could you not see that today's scene was clearly aimed at me?"

"I don't know what went wrong, but Liu Yunzhi became my scapegoat. Under such circumstances, how can you expect me to show mercy?"

"Have you ever thought about this: if I was the one in trouble today, who would show mercy to me?"

The series of questions left Mu Wanzhen at a loss as to how to answer.

Staring at Mu Wanzhen's increasingly pale face, Mu Ningxi said frankly, "You don't need to pretend to be weak in front of me. I can assure you here that as long as the Mu family doesn't target me from now on, I will definitely not do anything against you."

"But if there are still people who don't know the seriousness of the matter and want to challenge me, I will definitely not be soft-hearted."

After saying that, Mu Ningxi glanced at Mu Wanzhen's shaky body, turned around, opened the door and left.

Staring at Mu Ningxi's departing back, Mu Wanzhen tightly gripped the cane in her hand.

No matter what good or bad things I said, this damn girl remained unmoved. It seemed that there was no hope of seeking her help.

Mu Wanzhen was thinking in her mind who she could use next.

After leaving the room, Mu Ningxi heard the quarrel going on in the next room. Mu Yuande's angry voice came through the half-open door:

"Even if you were drugged, I don't believe you wouldn't feel anything. Maybe you were half-hearted at the time, which is why you let him succeed."
