Mr. Mu Proposed Again Today
Chapter 389 - 387: The Hundred Billion Bride 4_1

Chapter 389: Chapter 387: The Hundred Billion Bride 4_1

The engagement banquet officially began--

Old Master Mu and Madam Mu navigated through the venue, personally welcoming guests, much to the astonishment and delight of all present. It was clear today was no ordinary day, as the couple was intimately involved in all aspects...

Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia had a constant stream of people by their side, all there to offer congratulations and take the opportunity to get acquainted with the great President Mu.

Ever since Su Wanxia arrived, the smile on Mu Yingchen’s face had never faded. Whenever someone came to toast, he refused none, even taking over the drinking for Su Wanxia.

Warmth filled Su Wanxia’s heart. She knew her tolerance for alcohol was poor and her behavior when drunk was even worse, so from the start, he had no intention of letting her drink. Tonight, he must have drunk countless glasses on her behalf...

If it were her, she would have been on the ground, knocked out and asleep by now...

But even after drinking so much, he showed no signs of drunkenness; he remained as gracefully composed as ever...

Could this man truly be immune to drunkenness?

Some time passed, and Mu Yingchen found an excuse to guide Su Wanxia through the crowd to a teahouse at the far end of the venue--

By that time, the teahouse was packed with people: Grandpa Su, Old Master Mu, Madam Mu, Su Wanxia’s parents, Yaoyao, Shanshan, Su Ran, Su Yun, and two individuals Su Wanxia didn’t recognize--

"You two have finally arrived... Yingchen, hurry and sit down with Wanxia..." Madam Mu beckoned the couple with a smiling face.

Su Wanxia gave everyone a bashful chuckle before sitting beside Mu Yingchen on the sofa--

"Since everyone is here, I won’t beat around the bush..." Old Master Mu started with a chuckle.

"Spit it out already; why the fuss!" Grandpa Su straightened his sleeves with an annoyed snort.

Old Master Mu’s brows instantly furrowed in anger, and his eyes looked as if they could bore holes through Grandpa Su!

"Dad..." Madam Mu softly reminded him, noticing the tense atmosphere.

Old Master Mu then snorted a couple of times, throwing a big eye roll at Grandpa Su.

"Wanxia... our Mu Family is blessed to take in such a wonderful daughter-in-law as you," said Old Master Mu, squinting his eyes, his face curling into a kind and warm smile directed at Su Wanxia.

Su Wanxia smiled shyly, and Mu Yingchen gave her hand another firm squeeze--

"You’re about to marry Yingchen, and whatever you desire, just speak up. Grandpa guarantees it! Whatever others have, we’ll have too, and even if they don’t have it, we must..." Old Master Mu looked at Su Wanxia with righteous fervor.

Su Wanxia frowned slightly in consternation; she needed nothing, just the people by her side--

"Lovely words! Don’t ask our Xiaxia what she wants, bring out the Mu Family’s sincerity for us to see first!" Grandpa Su spoke bluntly, not leaving an ounce of face for Old Master Mu.

The two people behind Old Master Mu were left wide-eyed in astonishment--

Was Miss Su’s grandfather being too arrogant? To talk to Old Master Mu in such a manner...

The others suppressed a laugh upon hearing Grandpa Su’s words. Throughout his long life, Old Master Mu probably never faced anyone as difficult as Grandpa Su...

Mu Zetian nearly choked on his own blood--

But to save face, he snorted softly and said to the people behind him, "Bring out the item..."

The two, who had been zoning out, were taken aback, comprehending the meaning of Old Master Mu’s words instantly. They hurriedly stepped forward, retrieved the prepared cheque from their briefcase, and delicately placed it in front of Old Master Mu...

Everyone watched Old Master Mu’s gesture and simultaneously arched their brows...

Su Qinglong watched his movements and spoke with an air of worldly wisdom, "I’ve heard that the Mu Family is the foremost old and influential family in the Asian business community. I wonder if it’s really as extraordinary as the rumors suggest..."

Just as Mu Zetian had picked up his pen, his hand paused. He looked up at Su Qinglong across from him and let out a slight snort...

Then he lowered his head and wrote a small one in the amount space on the check—

"My precious granddaughter, once she marries, I’ll be left as a lonely old man..." Su Qinglong’s sigh echoed slowly throughout the tea room.

The people nearby just smiled without saying a word, all knowing that at this moment, these two old masters were engaged in a battle of wits...

A twitch appeared at the corner of Mu Zetian’s mouth. This gutless dragon!

Then he pressed down harder with the pen and began to draw zeros. As he did, people couldn’t help but count along in their minds...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...

By the time he reached the seventh zero, the two people standing behind him were already starting to feel dizzy. They thought they must be seeing things; how could there be so many zeros for a single dowry?

But the expressions on the faces of others bore not a hint of surprise, instead they calmly continued to watch the old master’s pen as it kept moving downward...

And true to expectations, Mu Zetian drew yet another zero...

8...

A hundred million...

Su Ran and Su Yun couldn’t help but curve their lips into a smile. It seemed that Old Master Mu wasn’t so tight-fisted after all, starting with so many circles in one go. But to their adoptive father, this was merely him flexing his muscles...

Mu Zetian’s hand paused for a moment as he involuntarily looked up to gauge the reactions of those around him. Still calm, apparently it wasn’t much yet...

Then he bowed his head and drew another zero...

Looking up again—he saw the still composed expressions on the faces around him, and this time, he could no longer stay calm...

A billion? How could there not be any reaction?...

It wasn’t that there was no reaction; it was just that everyone was wondering just how many zeros he could draw. And Su Wanxia, well, she wanted to stop him, but Mu Yingchen had been holding her hand the whole time and wouldn’t let go. What could she do?...

Moreover, if she spoke up now, it would certainly displease her grandfather. Who knows what he might say—that she was no longer on the same page as him even before marrying into the Mu Family. Therefore, she chose to sit quietly and watch the developments...

And the truly expressive people were standing behind Old Master Mu, so he couldn’t see them. If he had, he would have found some sense of achievement, but faced with all these people who had weathered great storms, he felt not a jot of pride...

Fine—then he would continue...

Thinking this, he added one more to the long chain of circles...

Now that should suffice... A hundred billion for a dowry, who knew how many people that would startle if word got out!

Without him even mentioning it, the two people behind him were already so shocked their legs had gone weak. That kind of money was something they could never earn in several lifetimes of hard work!

The Mu Family setting down so much for a bride’s dowry. Truly befitting the first old and influential family in Asia!

The former head of the Mu Group, Mother Mu, also nodded her head in satisfaction. She too felt that a hundred billion adequately represented the Mu Family’s absolute sincerity towards the Su Family!

"So this is all the Mu Family has in terms of assets?"
