Chapter 552: Chapter 550: The So-Called Cultivation of Character_1

In front of Shenghong International, the shadows of people were unending.

Inside the venue, the decorations were elegant and grandiose, the very definition of opulence.

Brilliant, gorgeous crystal chandeliers, the festive and welcoming red carpet, colorful fresh flowers, an assortment of fine wines, and a variety of cakes and pastries—it had everything one could wish for,

Although the Mu Family had invited only a select few, this "select few" was by no means a small number.

You must know that when Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia got married, it was a swarm of people, with not a seat left empty.

As the brothers of Mu Zisu, Mu Shiming and the others certainly must make some effort to show their brotherly love.

Hence, the reception team at the Mu Family’s banquet boasted a charm that could captivate the elders of Jiangdong.

"When it’s my birthday, if Brother Zisu could come and be my greeter, I’d be the most prestigious person..." Mu Tianyi looked at Ji Yunqing next to him with an expression that seemed to say, don’t you think?

Ji Yunqing stifled a laugh, "Aren’t you afraid that Brother Zisu would scare away all your guests?"

"Pfft... The place would definitely be packed..."

"It’s a good thought, but it’s just wishful thinking..."

Mu Tianyi suddenly felt an urge to smack him.

As the two joked, a group of people with an exceptional presence approached.

"Yo... the birthday boy has arrived..." Ji Yunqing said as he went up to greet them with a smile.

"Little Qiqi, you’re back..." Mu Tianyi also came over.

"I’m older than you; you should properly call me ’sister’..." Mu Ziqing gave him a glance, unamused.

"Forget it, just the thought of calling you ’sister’, I’m afraid I might make you feel old..." Mu Tianyi shook his head adamantly.

The banter between the two made everyone laugh.

"Tianyi... have your parents arrived yet?" Su Wanxia smiled at Mu Tianyi.

"Not yet... nobody has arrived..." Mu Tianyi spread his hands.

"Yeah... nobody from your family has, it would be boring for them to arrive early, wouldn’t it?" Ji Yunqing interjected.

"I’ll give them a call in a bit..." Su Wanxia chuckled.

"Alright, they should be arriving soon anyway."

"Hmm."

Mu Zisu unabashedly let Na Xiaoxiao hold his arm, and the moment they stepped into the venue, they stunned the crowd to the point where everyone’s eyes widened in astonishment.

This was the second time Mu Zisu and Na Xiaoxiao had made a public appearance together.

The first time was at Ji Yunqing’s birthday party, but that day, when they left, Na Xiaoxiao was frantically chasing after him. Everyone thought that Miss Na had been dumped by the young Master Mu. However, today, she appeared at the banquet arm-in-arm with the youngest of the Mu Family.

So, the shock they brought was no small matter.

No sooner had Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia entered the venue than they were surrounded by people. Mu Ziqing and Mu Zixuan, one on the left and one on the right, were supporting Mother Mu towards their seats.

The young business elite, faces aglow with smiles, eagerly approached Mu Zisu.

Although Mu Zisu usually maintained a stern face, today was his birthday banquet, and with Na Xiaoxiao by his side, his mood was quite good. He greeted everyone who came up with unprecedented warmth.

This left a whole lot of people feeling unexpectedly honored and flustered.

Being the star of the evening, Mu Zisu, with Na Xiaoxiao by his side, managed a short while before she tactfully withdrew from the crowd to find Mu Zixuan and Mu Ziqing.

Mu Zixuan was not in sight, but Mu Ziqing was very dutifully and sweetly keeping Mother Mu company.

Xiaoxiao curled her lips into a smile and walked towards them.

Seeing her approaching, Mu Ziqing waved to her from afar. When Mu’s mother saw her, she couldn’t help but scold, "Xiaoxiao... why aren’t you staying by Yaoyao’s side..."

Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly, then sat down beside Mu’s mother on the other side, "There are too many people, I wanted to come here for some fresh air..."

"You girl..."

"Hehe..."

Mu Zisu glanced around, realizing Xiaoxiao had disappeared from his side. A void filled his heart, and he began to look around until he saw her sitting with Mu’s mother and Mu Ziqing. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaoxiao sat in her spot, her mind absentmindedly drifting through the sea of people at the venue, unexpectedly recalling the dream she had the night before.

She frowned, shook her head and tried to rid her mind of all the unpleasant thoughts.

"Xiaoxiao... let’s play Gomoku..." Mu Ziqing tugged at Xiaoxiao’s arm, her eyes sparkling.

Xiaoxiao blinked at her—

"Oh come on, the banquet hasn’t even started, let’s play for a bit..."

"Alright..." Xiaoxiao nodded helplessly, deciding to play for a while.

It wasn’t long before Mu Feng, Mu Chuyang, and Ji Hua all made a grand entrance with their wives.

People at the venue shook their heads and sighed; these key figures of the Mu Family only made joint appearances at such events.

When Su Wanxia saw them, she exchanged a few pleasantries with the people around her before smiling and going to greet them; it had been quite a while since they had met.

"Wanxia... you’ve finally deigned to return?" Kang Xiaolan eyed Su Wanxia sarcastically.

Su Wanxia sighed helplessly to herself, then replied, "I haven’t been gone that long..."

"Not for long?" Yan Yirou exclaimed, "We went on a big trip and you still hadn’t returned..."

"You went on a trip, whereas we sought to improve ourselves, right?" Su Wanxia glanced at her.

"Fine, fine... you were improving yourselves, so high and mighty..." Yan Yirou waved her hand and quickly followed up, "You said before that you had your eye on a daughter-in-law, and I heard she’s here too. Where is she?" Yan Yirou had not met Xiaoxiao before, but she was eager to ask Su Wanxia about her after hearing from Gong Yining and Kang Xiaolan upon her return.

Su Wanxia found it hard to explain the situation in a word or two. Instead, she turned around and pointed in the direction of Mu’s mother, Mu Ziqing, and Xiaoxiao.

"There..."

"Ah... Little Qiqi is back too..." Kang Xiaolan raised an eyebrow in surprise upon seeing Mu Ziqing.

"Yes... She wouldn’t miss an occasion like this..." Su Wanxia chuckled lightly.

Yan Yirou raised an eyebrow, "Let’s go over there..."

The group of ladies leisurely made their way towards Xiaoxiao.

The gentlemen, as if by tacit agreement, gathered around Mu Yingchen.

Xiaoxiao had her back to Su Wanxia and the others, while Mu Ziqing and Mu’s mother were facing the venue.

When she saw them coming, Mu Ziqing immediately brightened up, stood, and began to greet each of them.

While everyone was greeting Mu’s mother and Mu Ziqing, Xiaoxiao turned her head to look and also stood up.

"Xiaoxiao... we’ve met before..." Kang Xiaolan patted her on the shoulder.

"Aunt Xiaolan..." Xiaoxiao couldn’t forget her; Aunt Xiaolan had made a deep impression on her.

"Xiaoxiao..." Gong Yining also greeted her with a smile.

"Aunt Yining..." Xiaoxiao remembered this aunt was very gentle, although her Uncle Hua had quite the personality.
