Stolen Life of the Poor Girl, Top Luxury Family's Group Favor

Chapter 75

Lu Kaixuan, the host of this banquet, was the most troubled.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and tried to smooth things over: "After all, it's just a small conflict between children. Why don't we sit down and talk it through calmly?"

Qin Sui and Wei Zesheng were, in the end, still juniors.

And Mr. Mu's secretary was, after all, just a secretary.

As long as the matter didn't escalate and involve all the families, the situation was still within his control.

Otherwise... this banquet would end up offending the Mu family, Wei family, Qin family, and possibly even the Sheng family...

"Standing here arguing is not appropriate," Qin Sui was the first to respond. He paused, then said, "Let's clear the room."

Hearing this, Lu Kaixuan nodded inwardly.

This son of the Qin family was truly impressive. At such a young age, he already had his father's demeanor and could command the situation.

As soon as the order to clear the room was given, the small hall was emptied in the blink of an eye, leaving only a few of them.

Wei Zesheng spoke to the secretary in a deep voice, "It seems you can't make this decision. Call your Mr. Mu."

Qin Sui couldn't be allowed to say this first.

Otherwise, it would fail Brother Sheng's instructions.

Wei Lin saw the tense atmosphere and felt uneasy.

Why make such a big fuss?

These two young masters might feel satisfied, but wouldn't their families have to clean up the mess in the end?

The old man hadn't been involved in affairs for a long time, which meant everything would fall on his shoulders.

"Thank you both for your concern about Little Duck. I am Little Duck's temporary guardian. Why don't we let Little Duck explain the situation in detail first? This might prevent any misunderstandings," Wei Lin interjected.

Wei Wenjuan sneered, "I'm not dead yet. How dare you claim to be Little Duck's guardian?"

Wei Lin wore an expression of helplessness but didn't say anything more.

After all, he was just putting on an act. When the time came, Mr. Mu would know that he had tried to intervene, but was simply unable to stop it.

The secretary didn't hesitate any longer and turned to make the call.

"What? Is he seriously injured?" Mu Rongfeng was surprised when he received the call. His secretary was usually quite capable, how could he not handle this?

The secretary lowered his voice: "The little girl who fought with the young master..."

"Yes, Mr. Lu mentioned on the phone. She's the child recently found by the Overseas Chinese Wei Family. The old Mr. Wei doesn't handle affairs anymore, so the one attending the banquet today should be his godson, Wei Lin. I've heard a bit about Wei Lin; he's good at smoothing things over without offending anyone," Mu Rongfeng, though not present at the scene, seemed to understand the situation well.

"What? Has Wei Lin become aggressive today?" Mu Rongfeng frowned.

"It's not him. It's... Qin Sui and Wei Zesheng. They're defending that girl and demanding an explanation from us."

Hearing this, Mu Rongfeng instinctively looked up at the clock on the wall.

The second hand wasn't moving backward.

The world was still normal.

"This is the first time I've heard these two names together..."

"Yes, that's why I called you. Could this be..." the secretary lowered his voice even more, "some kind of signal?"

A signal that the Sheng family faction was aligning with the Qin family faction?

If so, the stock market would fluctuate.

The entire upper-class circle of Jin City would have to be reshuffled...

But why hadn't there been any rumors about this before?

Or were they joining forces to hunt his Mu family?

In just a few seconds, various severe consequences flashed through Mu Rongfeng's mind.

He stood up: "I'm coming right away."

Then he told his assistant: "Cancel all of today's schedule."

The assistant looked up in shock.

"Now, immediately, find the contact information for the Overseas Chinese Wei Family. Try to contact their old man directly. It must be direct contact with the old man!" Mu Rongfeng ordered.

The water needed to be muddied.

They couldn't give the Qin Sui's family and Wei Zesheng's family a chance to cause trouble.

However, he really couldn't understand how the child just found by the Overseas Chinese Wei Family had become involved with them?

After all, the Overseas Chinese Wei Family had just returned to the country. No matter how powerful they were abroad, entering Jin City's circle, they were still considered "new money" from outside.

Before today's banquet, not many people had dealings with them.

As soon as Mu Rongfeng gave this order, his subordinates were at a loss.

How could they do it? It was impossible to contact them!

"Um..." a new junior employee in the office quietly raised his hand, "I might... have a way to contact the old man of the Overseas Chinese Wei Family."

"Speak. If you can make contact, there's a bonus for you."

The junior employee immediately gained confidence: "Well, my uncle is a Taoist priest. Uh, a professional one, with an official religious personnel certificate. A couple of days ago, he mentioned in our family group chat that he was invited to the Overseas Chinese Wei Family's house to chant scriptures."

Others: ??

"Try it! Contact your uncle right away!"

"Oh, okay!"

The junior employee hurriedly made the call.

On the other side.

Wei Xuanming closed his eyes and leaned back in his carved wooden chair, which rocked back and forth.

Taoist priests and choir nuns stood on either side.

The left side chanted sutras, the right side sang hymns, creating a surround-sound effect.

The archbishop who had previously said Wei Xuanming wasn't sincere stood to one side, also with his eyes closed. Mainly because out of sight, out of mind.

In this atmosphere of "harmony"...

The phone of the Taoist temple's manager, who was the second-in-command of the temple, suddenly rang.

Wei Xuanming opened his eyes and said, "Answer it."

The manager smiled awkwardly: "It's alright, I'll call back later."

But Wei Xuanming seemed to have some insight and said, "Some calls, you think aren't important, but if you miss them, you've missed them forever. You'll regret it for life and never be able to make up for it... Answer it."

Since Wei Xuanming had said so, the manager didn't hold back and immediately answered the phone.

Half a minute later, he looked at Wei Xuanming with a strange expression and said, "Mr. Wei, this call... is for you."

"Oh?"

"The CEO of Wanwu Interconnected, Mr. Mu, is looking for you. He says it's very important. Apparently, his youngest son and your granddaughter have gotten into a fight, and now the situation is a bit out of control."

Wei Xuanming's previously lazy expression changed.

He sat up straight: "The CEO of Wanwu Interconnected? His youngest son? And my... granddaughter?"

Wei Xuanming heard each word clearly, but when put together, he couldn't quite understand.

"Where did I get a granddaughter from?" Wei Xuanming found it amusing.

This sounded like a scam call.

If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was a legitimate holder of a Chinese Taoist priest certificate, he would have already thrown him out.

"But, but Mr. Mu has no reason to lie," the Taoist priest was determined to secure his niece's future.

Wei Xuanming was silent for a moment, then said to a servant nearby, "Bring me the phone."

He called his old friend: "I remember you have some contact with the CEO of Wanwu Interconnected."

"Yes, I do..."

"Give me his number."

The friend on the other end was startled: "Have you finally changed your mind? Are you coming out of retirement? But what connection could your business have with Wanwu Interconnected?"

"Just a small matter," Wei Xuanming brushed it off lightly.

Then he personally dialed Mu Rongfeng, opening with: "This is Wei Xuanming."

"Mr. Wei, let's meet," Mu Rongfeng was equally direct.

"Your youngest son got into a fight with my granddaughter?" Wei Xuanming now just wanted to confirm this one thing.

"Yes."

"What location? What time?" Wei Xuanming asked concisely.

"Jin City Huadao Hotel banquet hall, right now."

Wei Xuanming hung up the phone and stood up: "Bring me my cane, prepare the car immediately."

Meanwhile.

Mu Rongfeng said, "That junior employee doesn't need to go through the probation period. Transfer him to the secretarial department. He knows how to utilize all available resources, he's a smart one."

The assistant responded, "Yes, Mr. Mu."

The junior employee soon received news of his promotion and raise.

His colleagues were all dumbfounded.

Damn, this works too? Why couldn't my uncle be a Taoist priest?
