Chapter 140: The conspiracy of the seven great families?
Immediately, Chen Ming saw several young people. Chen Ming changed his face and walked up...
Zhang Xiaotian walked around the banquet, mainly trying to taste all the delicious food here.
Mu Qiudi noticed him again, got rid of the group of dandies around him, and came towards Zhang Xiaotian.
"Miss Mu, what do you want to do with me again?" Zhang Xiaotian said with a helpless smile.
Mu Qiudi smiled and said, "Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"
"Hey, look over there, why is Mu Qiudi talking to that kid alone?"
"Hey, could it be that the iceberg has melted and Mu Qiudi's heart has moved? This kid is really capable..."
When Mu Qiudi heard these rumors, his face suddenly turned red.
He leaned into Zhang Xiaotian's ear and said, "I'm really at a big loss if I come here!"
Zhang Xiaotian raised his hand, as if it had nothing to do with me: "I didn't ask you to come here, you asked for it."
After hearing this, Mu Qiudi was so angry that she asked, "Zhang Xiaotian, what do you want to do?"
Zhang Xiaotian took a step back and said: "What am I not going to do? I also know what you want to do, but I don't want to get involved with Tianmu anymore, as this will make me angry."
"As a Chinese citizen, shouldn't we do what we can for China?" Mu Qiudi said.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaotian laughed.
He picked up a glass of red wine from the table, touched it with Mu Qiudi, and said with a smile: "Miss Mu, I'm so sorry. No matter you say I'm ruthless or selfish, there's no need to talk about it. China is so big that it's bigger than me."
There are many outstanding people who are more righteous than me, so why do you bother to pester me?"
The terror of Tianmu can be seen clearly. Even Ming, the messenger of Tianmu, is a master of cultivating inner energy.
How do the Deacons of the Heavenly Curtain, the Protectors of the Heavenly Curtain, and the twelve Heavenly Curtain Great Priests above the tent exist?
Anyway, Zhang Xiaotian couldn't believe it and felt a headache just thinking about it.
He was originally an ordinary person who only wanted to live an ordinary life and had no other aspirations.
After saying this, Zhang Xiaotian turned around and left again.
It seems that except for the three Taishan Beidou in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, no one else here is very good at talking!
Since I can't afford to offend you, why don't I hide?
"Huh!" After Zhang Xiaotian left, Mu Qiudi stomped her feet angrily.
What they didn't know was that the scene just now was seen by Mr. Mu, especially Mu Qiudi's arrogant hum at the end!
"Haha, don't mention it. Xiaotian and Qiudi are indeed talented and beautiful, they are a perfect match. They look very much like a couple..." Mr. Mu smiled and nodded.
Mu Qiudi is his favorite granddaughter, and Zhang Xiaotian is the person he admires most.
If the two of them could come together, even if he died, he would die in peace.
Around Mr. Mu, there were also representatives of several famous families.
Seeing how the banquet was progressing, Mr. Mu was so happy that he looked at each other and nodded.
"Since today is Mu Lao's 80th birthday, it would be shameful not to have a birthday gift. Most of the people at Mu Lao's birthday party were young people, so let's take a look at the demeanor of these juniors."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties with sharp eyes. This man was Yang Kai of the Yang family, one of the eight major families in the imperial capital. He was the soul of the Yang family.
The Yang family in the imperial capital is a transcendent family second only to the Mu family. If Mr. Mu hadn't been alive, the Yang family would have become the first of the eight aristocratic families.
On the surface, the two families are very harmonious, but privately, there are many conflicts, and the relationship between the two families is not as harmonious as it seems.
Yang Kai definitely had no good intentions when he brought up this matter.
Mr. Mu was also a person who came from a strong wind and waves, so he naturally knew this. He shook his head and said: "I, a bad old man, am very happy that these young people can come today. There is no need for birthday gifts. Besides, the young people are competing with each other. It’s not a good trend in society, so forget it!”
As soon as Mr. Mu finished speaking, someone stood up.
This person is the soul of the Shen family, one of the eight major families in the imperial capital, and his name is Shen Zhong.
"Mr. Mu, I think Brother Yang's suggestion is very good. Taking this opportunity to give a birthday gift will also let everyone see the style of young people, and it can also make the atmosphere of the banquet more lively. Why not." Shen Zhong smiled. said.
After Shen Zhong finished speaking, everyone came up to persuade Mr. Mu and wanted to see the excitement.
Mr. Mu's face suddenly turned cold. He didn't know that these people just wanted to see the excitement of the Mu family.
These people probably have all the gifts ready and are just waiting for the Mu family's back to make a fool of themselves during the birthday gift ceremony.
At this banquet, prominent figures in the imperial capital gathered together. If the descendants of the Mu family are suppressed, they will never be able to hold their heads high again. People in the entire imperial capital will say that the Mu family has no successors, and the Mu family will decline from now on.
Mr. Mu would not let these people's wishful thinking prevail, and immediately refused: "I don't agree!"
After hearing this, Yang Kai walked out again, as if he had already guessed that Mr. Mu would be angry, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mu, don't be angry. Since you don't agree, we won't force it..."
His eyes flickered, and he had pearls of wisdom in his hands, as if he had already thought of a way to deal with it.
At this moment, there was a commotion during the banquet.
A handsome man in a suit stood up under everyone's gaze.
This person is Yang Kai's son, Yang Tianhao, the leader of the three generations of the Yang family.
Yang Tianhao swept the audience and said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice: "Everyone, today is Mr. Mu's eightieth birthday. As the younger generation, shouldn't we be more proactive and give the gifts we prepared to Mr. Mu?"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately received echoes from many other young heroes from the Eight Great Aristocratic Families, and also received echoes from many people who prepared gifts.
"Yes, what Brother Tianhao said makes sense. As juniors, we should take the initiative. Everyone can bring out their own gifts to make Mr. Mu happy."
"I think it's great. Let's see whose gift Mr. Mu likes more."
With these people adding fuel to the flames, it was impossible for Mr. Mu to stop him.
Mr. Mu coldly glanced at Yang Kai, Shen Zhong, and the few people next to them, and said coldly: "You have arranged this a long time ago?"
It seems that the other seven families in the imperial capital are united to suppress their Mu family!
It doesn't matter if Mr. Mu doesn't agree now. After all, no one objects to such a proposal.
It is meaningless for him to stand up and oppose alone.
"Mr. Mu, how could this be possible? We just want to make you happy." Yang Kai, Shen Zhong and others said.
"Okay, just do whatever you want." Mr. Mu took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He looked as if he had aged several years.
Yang Kai showed a sinister smile as if his conspiracy had succeeded...
