Chapter 400: Chapter 400: The Old Ancestor Wants to Go Out for a Look

Master Mu looked up and gazed at Wan Qing.

This woman was much smarter than Fu Yuxing.

It was he who found Wan Qing and wanted to cooperate with her, aiming to take half of Fu Shiyan’s fortune.

He would help Wan Qing get rid of Shiyan, obtain the latter’s family inheritance and half of his fortune, while the rest of Shiyan’s fortune would go to him.

Wan Qing didn’t hesitate much before agreeing at that time.

Glancing at Wan Qing, Master Mu said solemnly, "I’m well aware, and I will handle this matter."

Hearing Master Mu say this, Wan Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After watching Master Mu go out, Wan Qing pulled a somewhat anxious Fu Yuxing into the room.

Seeing them enter, Fu Song asked with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Why don’t we see the master? Wasn’t it agreed that he would be brought in for us to meet?"

"That..."

Wan Qing squeezed out a strained smile and explained, "The master wanted to look around at the layout of our house. He’ll be back soon. Let’s just wait."

Fu Song sneered, "Is he looking at the feng shui layout, or does he think we’re not presentable, not worthy of meeting the master?"

"What are you talking about, fourth brother? We definitely don’t think like that. Relax, the master will be back shortly," Wan Qing explained hurriedly.

Fu Song snorted disdainfully, clearly not believing Wan Qing.

Fu Yuxing also felt very uneasy. The appearance of Liao Qianqian had startled him, and he now couldn’t help but doubt Master Mu’s capabilities.

He had no idea whether Master Mu could manage to take care of Liao Qianqian.

Feeling uncomfortable, and growing impatient with the conversation between Fu Song and Wan Qing, he said directly, "Mom, Dad, you go ahead and eat. I’m not hungry, I’m going upstairs."

With that, he turned and left.

Fu Lin frowned and scolded angrily, "That’s no way to behave!"

Fu Yuxing ignored him completely.

Fu Yi felt awkward, but seeing that Fu Yuxing had already gone upstairs, could only smooth things over, "Alright, let’s just eat. Whether he eats or not is his problem. Let’s not mind him."

"Yes, yes, let’s eat first," Wan Qing chimed in as she came over and began to fuss, "I specifically had some of your favorite dishes prepared. Try them."

The faces around the table were sullen.

No one had begun to touch their chopsticks.

Fu Shiyan sat there, silent and unspoken.

Fu Yi couldn’t fathom what his nephew was thinking and was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Excuse me, you all go ahead. I need to use the restroom," said Jiangli, rising from her seat and giving Fu Shiyan a meaningful look before turning to leave.

Fu Song sarcastically remarked, "With all this commotion, who can eat? I feel like I need the restroom now myself."

Wan Qing and Fu Yi had extremely difficult expressions on their faces.

Fu Shiyan watched as Lili left.

Xia Xin and Duan Jianchuan were well aware that Jiangli’s departure at this time was definitely not just a simple trip to the restroom.

Master Mu had just appeared...

The old ancestor was probably out to look for Master Mu now.

Considering this, Xia Xin wanted to follow and check what was happening, so he got up with a forced smile, "Er, my stomach feels a bit off too, I’ll be right back."

After speaking, he held his stomach and scampered off.

The diners at the table were already lacking in appetite, so they hardly cared about his departure.

Fu Lin simply put down his chopsticks and started talking to Shiyan about the company and his marriage, essentially turning the dining room into a meeting room.

Wan Qing and Fu Yi were completely ignored, as if they were two invisible people.

Seeing their reaction, Wan Qing clenched her fingers tightly, hating the feeling of being disregarded!

...

Jiangli entered the first-floor restroom and quietly moved to the window. She cracked it open a sliver and peered outside.

In the yard, Master Mu’s figure was virtually unseen.

But she knew that Master Mu wouldn’t have left so easily; he must still be around somewhere. She needed to find a way to go out and check.
