The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress-Chapter 695 - : 275 Not So Simple Guests (Part 1)

Chapter 695: 275 Not So Simple Guests (Part 1)

By the end of October, the weather had become colder again.

The Gao Family.

Today, Mu Youjun had not originally planned to go to the Mu Family.

It wasn’t until she heard that Mu Xiangguang had come out of the Buddhist hall that she made a slight effort to dress up.

“Are you and Jiachen going?” she asked as she put on a newly tailored outfit and draped a string of jade beads around her neck.

Gao Yi picked up his coat, “Today I’m taking Jiachen to the theater.”

Next to him, Gao Yi’s assistant glanced at Mu Youjun.

That glance made Mu Youjun feel momentarily embarrassed. Once, the Mu Family could discuss matters on equal terms with the Gao Family, but later the Mu Family gradually faded from this circle, and the Gao Family became somewhat disdainful of Mu Youjun’s status.

Think about the women of the Gao Family, one married into the Jiang Family, another a distant relative married Xu Jueling.

Yet Gao Yi married Mu Youjun. If it weren’t for the fact that she had given birth to Gao Jiachen, she might have separated from Gao Yi years earlier.

The Mu Family’s business car arrived at Shanhai Apartment early in the morning.

Assistant Wang drove, with Xiaojie in the passenger seat, driving into building No. 5 of Shanhai Apartment, passing by the security guards standing at attention, Xiaojie couldn’t help but take a second look.

“What’s up?” asked Assistant Wang.

Xiaojie spoke, “That security guard looks like he’s from a special training camp.”

Assistant Wang wasn’t very familiar with such matters, so he didn’t ask any further.

In building No. 5, Ji Heng had already come out and handed a plain moose green cloak to Tang Ming, asking him to take it up to Bai Lian.

“Only you?” Xiaojie got out of the car with Assistant Wang and opened the door.

“Yes,” Ji Heng held a cigarette holder, his eyes drooping, “They still have books to review. We’ll just go for a meal, not participate in the ceremony, and arrive later.”

Xiaojie thought of Bai Lian’s group of friends, whether from Jiang University or Media University, they were indeed all diligent in their studies.

Upstairs.

Tang Ming handed the cloak to Bai Lian and then went to the fifth floor to find Ning Xiao.

“Has the scholar arrived?” he shouted immediately after exiting the elevator, with no one else around, he treated it like his own home.

Ning Xiao’s door was open as he was still on a call. On the other end of the phone, Wang Youfeng spoke calmly, “What’s the rush? I’m already in Jiangjing. What time will you arrive? I’ll have someone take it to the main entrance.”

Tang Ming and Ning Xiao had always been looked after by Ji Shaojun and Shen Qing. When Wang Youfeng found out about today’s event, he sent a gift to Jiangjing through a contact.

“Eleven o’clock.” This was the time Jiang Fulai had mentioned, and it was unlikely to be wrong.

Tang Ming, curious after seeing him hang up, asked, “What gift did your uncle prepare for Uncle Ji?”

To give Ning Xiao a gift was to give a whole apartment.

In Tang Ming’s memory, only Jiang Fulai spent money without batting an eye.

Ning Xiao, however, had no idea what the gift was…

Just after ten o’clock, the Mu Family.

Ancient and quaint door towers were adorned with festive red lanterns.

The floor butler, walking with a cane, had especially put on a festive long robe today to receive Mu Youjun.

Her arrival immediately drew the attention of the Mu Family members. They all knew she was now the lady of the Gao Family, and her son Gao Jiachen had a promising future.

The Clan leader of the Mu Family and others formed a line to chat with her.

After seeing Mu Youjun, the floor butler spoke, “Mr. Shaojun has already arrived at the Ancestral Hall. Elders, and uncles, shall we move to the Ancestral Hall?”

Today’s event was organized by Mu Yining.

Most of those from the Ancestral Hall would give her face. Originally the Clan leader was Mu Xiangguang, who twenty years ago had passed his position to a distant relative of the Clan, with both Mu’s second uncle and third uncle being from a side branch.

Ji Shaojun’s return had also injected new vitality into the Mu Family.

“I heard Dong Chuan is coming today?” Mu Youjun had been sitting, sipping tea with downcast eyes, not getting up.

The butler of the Gao Family stood behind her, without uttering an extra word.

She had inquired about Ji Shaojun before coming back. For decades in Xiangcheng he had been an art teacher. Although since his return his methods were quite like the decisive actions characteristic of the Mu Family, his return also disturbed the interests of some.

“He’s coming with Miss Ren,” the floor butler thought it over for a moment. Among those coming today, only Chief Chen and Dong Chuan could cause her to move.

The mother of Dong Chuan was from the Jiang Family, not the core descendants, but as long as one bore that surname, it carried weight.

“Well, no rush for the Ancestral Hall,” Mu Youjun put down her tea cup, “I’ll wait here for Young Master Dong to arrive.”

The floor butler looked up, seeming to want to say something more to Mu Youjun, but at that moment his phone rang.

He checked and it was a message that Bai Lian was about to arrive.

Without saying more to Mu Youjun, he seemed to become ten years younger at once, haste in his step as he hurried out with his cane, “Miss Bai has arrived, I’ll go welcome her first.”
