Chapter 513 - 513 513 The Three Women

513: Chapter 513 The Three Women 513: Chapter 513 The Three Women “Not bad.” Lin Fei casually responded and sat down, continuing, “I’m curious.

Based on what I know of Shanshan, she shouldn’t be someone who likes car racing.”

Mu Tiancheng was initially startled upon hearing this, then laughed and said, “When Shanshan was little, Ling’er and I often took her to play at Crescent Lake.

Ling’er liked to race with people, and Shanshan was influenced by this, so she also grew fond of it.

Shanshan, you haven’t been racing with someone, have you?”

“No, that’s not it.” Lin Fei shook his head and explained to Mu Tiancheng, “It was me who raced with someone.

I happened to win a sports car, which I’ve already mentioned to Uncle Li.

He will find someone to help drive it back.”

After some small talk, Lin Fei got straight to the point, “Dad, do you know a person named Fang Shaoyu?”

“Fang Shaoyu?” Mu Tiancheng pondered for a moment and shook his head, “I’ve never heard of him.

Why do you suddenly ask about this person?”

“The person I raced against before was him.

This Fang Shaoyu gave me a very unusual impression.”

“So you suspect he is from the Fang Family?”

Lin Fei nodded.

In fact, ever since he had shaken hands with Fang Shaoyu, he had vaguely felt that this Fang Shaoyu was no ordinary person.

Moreover, Mu Tiancheng had mentioned to him about the Ancient Martial family—the Fang Family!

He couldn’t help but associate this with that, even though he found it hard to believe it was such a coincidence.

But for safety’s sake, Lin Fei still brought up this person to Mu Tiancheng.

“The Fang Family is an Ancient Martial family, living a reclusive life.

Their family members rarely appear in public, and hence outsiders know very little about them.” Upon mentioning the Fang Family, Mu Tiancheng’s expression visibly tensed, a clear flash of anger disappearing as quickly as it appeared, “However, I have heard from Ling’er before she passed away that the current Family Head of the Fang Family is named Fang Tianluo, and the person who had a marriage agreement with Ling’er was named Fang Shicheng, the second young master of the Fang Family.

As for this Fang Shaoyu you’re talking about, whether he has any connection with the Fang Family that killed Ling’er, I really have no idea.”

Even if Lin Fei couldn’t confirm Fang Shaoyu’s identity, he still chose to believe it and treated Fang Shaoyu as a member of the Fang Family, growing more cautious in his heart.

Seeing the seriousness on Lin Fei’s face, Mu Tiancheng reassured him, “Ancient Martial families have always had their own codes—family members should not show themselves carelessly, so I think the chances of this Fang Shaoyu being a member of the Fang Family are very slim because he acts so ostentatiously.”

Although Mu Tiancheng made sense, Lin Fei preferred to trust his own instincts.

Codes like these are made by people, and they can certainly be changed.

Times change; no one can predict whether the Ancient Martial families of today still lead a secluded life.

Thus, Lin Fei was not willing to let down his guard.

At that moment, Uncle Li came to the door of the study.

“Master, the elder master is here.”

“We’ll continue at the dining table.”

Mu Tiancheng ended the conversation with Lin Fei, and the two left the study for the living room.

When they arrived in the living room, Lin Fei saw a middle-aged man of an age similar to Mu Tiancheng sitting not far from Mu Shanshan, talking to her, but Mu Shanshan was not showing any interest in engaging with him at all.

“Big brother, you’ve come so early.” From Mu Tiancheng’s greeting, Lin Fei was able to confirm that the visitor was indeed Mu Shanshan’s uncle and Mu Tiancheng’s co-executive director of Mu Group—Mu Tiansheng.

Mu Tiansheng nodded to Mu Tiancheng, and also noticed Lin Fei, greeting him directly, “This must be the nephew-in-law.

I remember your name is Lin Fei.”

“That’s me, hello uncle.” Taking the opportunity of shaking hands with Mu Tiansheng, Lin Fei scrutinized him carefully.

Mu Tiansheng appeared mature and composed, and there was an inherent air of authority in his every move, though it was subdued, possibly due to the family gathering.

“Truly a talented individual.

My father saw something in you, and it seems he had his reasons.”

After exchanging pleasantries, Mu Tiancheng called everyone to sit at the dining table.

At the table, Mu Tiansheng sat next to Mu Tiancheng, while Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei sat opposite them.

If one ignored the underlying competitiveness between them, the atmosphere could almost be considered harmonious.

After the waiter poured the wine, Mu Shanshan suddenly spoke, “Uncle, there’s something I want you to listen to.”

Mu Tiansheng put down his wine glass and curiously looked at Mu Shanshan.

Mu Tiancheng and Lin Fei exchanged a glance, knowing that Shanshan was about to make a move.

Mu Shanshan pulled out a voice recorder and played the sound.

After listening, Mu Tiansheng’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Is this Shaopeng’s voice?!”

Mu Shanshan nodded.

Still in disbelief, Mu Tiansheng looked to Mu Tiancheng.

“Some time ago, someone tried to assassinate Shanshan,” Mu Tiancheng said gravely, “Lin Fei discovered it and stopped it, and the mastermind behind it was indeed Shaopeng.”

“Outrageous!” Affirmed by Mu Tiancheng, Mu Tiansheng was livid, slamming his fist on the table, causing the dishes to clatter, “Niece, rest assured, your uncle will definitely give you an explanation.”

“There’s no need for uncle to explain anything to me,” Mu Shanshan said coldly, “At the board meeting next week, my father will propose that I be appointed as the president of the group’s hospitality business.

I hope uncle can cast a vote for me then.”

Mu Tiansheng was initially startled by the turn in Mu Shanshan’s tone, then realized she was using the information to pressure him, but rather than showing any displeasure, he readily agreed, “No problem, you are so capable, and managing just a Hyatt Hotel is indeed beneath your talents.

Next week, I will jointly recommend with your father that you become the president of the hospitality business.”

“Oh, then I thank you in advance, uncle.

I’ve finished eating; please help yourselves.” She then whispered to Lin Fei, “I’m heading back first.”
