Chapter 240: Everyone Has Their Own Plans

I didn’t know if Zhang Peiwen liked Liu Xingyu or not, but he obviously didn’t want this marriage to fall through, “Young Master Chu, I. . .”

“Young Master Chu is right. Peiwen has complained to me many times in private,” As I expected, Zhang Mingjie was really not a fool. He was almost as discerning as Liu Xiaosheng. He interrupted Zhang Peiwen in time and said on his behalf, “In fact, this marriage is just an extension of the friendship of the older generation, and it was just a verbal agreement. At that time, no one opposed it, so we took it too seriously. We didn’t want to upset younger sister Xingyu. Haha, since younger sister Xingyu has already found someone she likes, Peiwen also would have no worries in the future. Haha, young people should decide their own fate. When I go back, I will definitely tell my father to cancel this marriage agreement.”

Zhang Mingjie was not talking to me but explaining to Mo Fei. Liu Xiaosheng’s expression immediately changed. He clearly saw through Zhang Mingjie’s mind.

Yes, Zhang Mingjie wanted to protect himself. In front of Mo Fei, he definitely could not admit the fact that his family was trying to curry favor with the Liu family, especially after Xingyu said that this engagement was forced upon her.

How would the Mo family not be wary of this kind of marriage? If the Zhang family still didn’t explain it now, it would definitely arouse Mo Fei’s suspicion.

Of course, there may be another reason. Zhang Mingjie probably thought that there was no need to curry favor with the Liu family anymore. After all, the Liu family had already lost their largest capital, that was, the possibility of making Mo Fei marry into their family. . . However, this was just my guess.

Previously, Zhang Mingjie spared no effort to help Liu Xiaosheng pursue Mo Fei. It could be seen that he had made a big bet on this possibility. Now Mo Fei publicly announced that she had already found a boyfriend, it was tantamount to eliminate this possibility.

After all, his family was working for Fengchang, and Fengchang belonged to the Mo family.

Zhang Mingjie was not afraid of me, nor Mo Fei, but Mo Yizhi. From his fear, I could draw a conclusion. Sang Yingjie said that a senior executive borrowed 100 million from an underground bank in order to fill the financial hole. Maybe it wasn’t just a rumor. If it was really Zhang Li, the vice-chairman of Fengchang, who did it, it would be understandable why Zhang Mingjie would quickly want to explain that he had nothing to do with the Liu family. He didn’t want Mo Yizhi to suspect the Zhang family and investigate them.

“Great, great. . .” Liu Xiaosheng said the word ‘great’ two times in a row, one to Zhang Mingjie, and one to me, “Since Young Master Zhang also said this, then let’s end the marriage agreement between my little sister and Peiwen here. Haha, let’s go back to pursue our old men. I don’t think they are stubborn people.”

Liu Xingyu was overjoyed. Although she was quite clever, she still didn’t know the importance of this marriage after all. She didn’t notice that because of her not wanting to marry into the Zhang family, the relationship between the Mo family, the Liu family, and the Zhang family began to have cracks. Although it might be a good thing for the Mo family, Xingyu was not the daughter of the Mo family. . . Probably she would be scolded harshly when she got back home. . .

Liu Xiaosheng was definitely very angry in his heart, but he couldn’t reveal it on his face. Looking at Mo Fei, who was holding my arm tightly, he really wanted to curse me. However, to save his own face, he could only say to me with a smile, “Young Master Chu, I admit defeat. . . In every aspect, I’ve underestimated you too much. There aren’t many people that would make me want to admire them, but today, you are definitely one of them. However, I still haven’t given up. So you’d better treasure Miss Mo and not give me an opportunity.”

This could be understood as an indirect blessing. Mo Fei”s pretty face flushed, but I just smiled. Liu Xiaosheng deliberately emphasized the words “every aspect”, it meant that he was not only angry at me winning Mo Fei’s love, but there should be some other things, such as the separation of the Zhang family and the Liu family, or Shu Tong he just mentioned. . .

Something must have happened between Liu Xiaosheng and Shu Tong. Recalling what Liusu had said yesterday about Shu Tong’s recent changes, I wondered if it could be related to Liu Xiaosheng? Or. . . Was it related to me?

I had uncovered some hidden and unobvious problems and revealed them in front of everyone. Everyone had different plans in their minds. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. When Long Yifan saw that it was no longer interesting, a flash of disappointment appeared on his face. Then he laughed, “Congratulations! Jack finally has Jill. Today is already a happy day because it is my father’s 80th birthday, but this is the icing on the cake. Haha, everyone, let’s not disturb this young couple from billing and cooing and be someone who lacked a sense of romance. Haha, please follow me, let’s have a few drinks at the front.”

Liu Xiaosheng’s gaze swept across my face. I clearly felt the viciousness and coldness in his gaze. Zhang Mingjie deliberately fell behind those people and approached tremblingly, “Ms. Mo. . .”

Mo Fei knew that Zhang Mingjie wanted to tell her something, and we had a conflict in the past. She finally let go of my arm and walked a few steps away with a cold face.

Only until after she walked away did my heart finally go back to its original place from my mouth.

God Damnit, when Mo Fei clung to my arm, I always felt guilty. I felt like I had betrayed Liusu. . .

“Icing on the cake? I don’t think so,” the young gardener looked at Long Yifan’s back and sneered. With a disdainful attitude, he turned around to look at me and suddenly asked, “Mr. Chu, do you mean what you said earlier?”

I was enjoying Zhang Mingjie’s embarrassed expression when he was being reprimanded by Mo Fei. Most likely, Young Master Zhang took the initiative to confess his mistakes just now to dispel Mo Fei’s suspicion. Even if Mo Fei suspected that the Zhang family and the Liu family were plotting something together, she would not be so stupid to point it out clearly. At most, she would reprimand him for bullying the kid and damaging the company’s image. In fact, this kind of mutual deception was really tiring. I couldn’t help but sigh. It was at this moment the young gardener asked me. I nodded with a smile, “You mean finding a place for Ku’er and her grandma to live? Of course, speaking of it, I am also responsible for what happened earlier.”

“Thank you, Mr. Chu, although it looks like you are a few years younger than me, I admire you. You are one of the few good people I have ever met. A good person will eventually be rewarded. I always believe this.” The young gardener glanced around, lowered his voice, and said, “If you find grandma later, take her and Ku’er away quickly. Something bad will happen here tonight, and I don’t want you to get involved.”

Not just me, even Guo Xiang and Xingyu who happened to hear it were also stunned for a moment, “Something bad will happen?”

“Mhm,” the young man’s voice was even lowered and said mysteriously, “Mr. Chu, Don’t you find it strange? Why did Master Yifan lead the security team over after you hit Butler Gao? Why was Butler Gao fired immediately and removed using such a harsh method just now?”

This was indeed something that I also found very strange. Now was the time when the guests were arriving one after another. It should be the time when Long Yifan should be the busiest. Why would he appear here and why would he want to fire Butler Gao immediately…

Seeing our confused expressions, the young gardener didn’t keep us on suspense and said directly, “In fact, since half a month ago, the Long family have been receiving threatening letters. The letters threatened that if the old master dares to celebrate the 80th birthday, something terrible will happen. The specific contents of the letters were not very clear to us servants, but some people said it seemed very serious. . . Some even said that someone will die at the birthday party. . .”

Xingyu exclaimed in fear, “Someone will die? !”

The real reason why Long Yifan was angry at Butler Gao was that he had probably told him that he suspected that I was the person who sent the threatening letter. It had most likely caused some commotion, that was why Long Yifan would bring the security guards over. I was also surprised, pretending to be calm and said, “Since it is a threatening letter, no matter what the purpose is, it is understandable that there will be strong words in it. Otherwise, how can people be fooled?”

Guo Xiang was relatively calm and smiled, “Is it possible that it is a prank? Wind will always harm the tallest tree in a forest. The Long Family’s business in Bei Tian City is very successful, and it is inevitable to cause other people to be jealous. Is it because the competitors in the market deliberately want to ruin Elder Long’s mood on his 80th birthday?”

The young gardener nodded and said, “Old Master also thinks so too. He said that this might be because some business competitors deliberately wanted to frighten him, so he was unwilling to show that he was scared. He said that not only he wanted to hold the birthday banquet, but it would also be very big. That’s why so many people were invited today. I heard that we’ve printed a hundred more invitations than we were supposed to. . .”

No wonder Guo Xiang, who had almost no personal relationships with the Long Group, would also receive an invitation. It turned out that Long Xiaotian just wanted to tell his competitor that he was not scared. . .

“We were told not to say anything during the banquet, saying that it might frighten the guests. Anyway, I will quit the job here tomorrow, so I don’t need to protect anyone’s face. So I’ll give you a piece of advice,” the young man said with a serious face, “Mr. Chu, please don’t take it lightly. I heard the old gardener here say that there was a similar incident a few years ago, but that time was at a hotel. It was said that a lunatic pretending to be a pastry chef sneaked into the venue and slashed many guests. Although it did not hurt the old master, several guests were injured. It was because of the lingering fear of the incident that the Long family is holding the birthday party this time in their own manor. . .”

“I’ve also heard about that,” Xingyu nodded hurriedly, “It seems to be five years ago, right? My dad also went there and complained after returning home, saying that Long Xiaotian had a bad relationship with many people. The way he did business was too domineering and sometimes he even used dirty methods, so he had offended many competitors. ”

Guo Xiang frowned and said, “Xingyu—”

“I’m telling the truth, Long Xiaotian’s reputation is not good.”

“I’m afraid that it’s even worse this time,” the young gardener coughed, frowned, and said gravely, “There have been police coming in and out of the manor continuously in the past two days. If the Long Family really didn’t take the threatening letter seriously, why would they call the police? Moreover. . . You have also seen the size of Master Yifan’s security team, right? So, whether they have enemies or not, they know better than anyone else.”

No wonder the small incident I caused would alert Long Yifan to bring so many security guards, it turned out that to be for other reasons. . .
