Mu Jingsheng snorted coldly, slammed his wine glass heavily on the table, and stared coldly at Liu Xiaoyun's tall figure with a dignified gaze.

To date, no one has dared to bully his daughter in front of Mu Jingsheng.

Since the main character today is Silly Girl, and it was Qin Zheng who saved her, Mu Jingsheng ate quietly after Qin Zheng briefly introduced himself and Ye Xia.

Qin Zheng introduced them like this: This is my father-in-law, and this is my mother-in-law.

The young man only mentioned these two points and did not mention his identity in order to win Liu Chengzhi's favor, which made him very satisfied.

In today's world, with limited access to information, Liu Chengzhi obviously didn't recognize him either.

It doesn't matter.

Today was supposed to be just an ordinary home-cooked meal. He had been to many social gatherings and didn't want to turn this simple, unpretentious meal into a conversation between businessmen and high-ranking officials.

Unexpectedly, his low profile made people forget that Mu Jingsheng was also at the dinner table.

When a person in a high position gets angry, he sits there with an air of authority, his eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze sharp, giving people a powerful and suffocating sense of oppression.

Liu Xiaoyun felt a little intimidated by his distinguished attire.

But she maintained a strong facade, her face cold, and scoffed, "You're quite the actor, dressed so well, just to pretend you're rich and make us think you're not the kind of cunning poor people, right?"

What?

Mu Jingsheng was dumbfounded; he had never been accused of pretending to be rich before!

In the past, when he went out, he always hoped that others would not recognize him, but now he was completely aroused by the little girl in front of him.

Of course, it would be too stupid to ask him to slam his fist on the table and declare himself the nationally renowned Mu Jingsheng.

Mu Jingsheng glanced at Liu Xiaoyun with disdain, then turned to Liu Chengzhi and said in a steady voice, "Brother Liu, a few years ago at the National Conference, you and I were in the same boat. The night before the conference, the elders organized a small meeting for more than two hundred of us to discuss future reforms. You were there, and so was I. Do you remember?"

"What?"

Liu Chengzhi looked astonished.

He remembered clearly the small meeting before the 1975 conference. At that time, the two factions were vying for power, and the small meeting they organized before the conference was of extremely important nature.

That small meeting was held in great secrecy, and only the participants knew about it.

If, as Liu Xiaoyun said, Qin Zheng and his gang were unruly villagers from a remote and impoverished area, how could they have known about that secret meeting they had secretly organized?

"You...you are..."

Liu Chengzhi scrutinized Mu Jingsheng closely, then suddenly remembered something, opened his mouth wide, and clapped his hands as if waking from a dream, exclaiming, "You're President Mu from Lin'an!"

Mu Jingsheng nodded, "That is indeed me."

"This, this..."

Upon receiving confirmation, Liu Chengzhi stared in astonishment at Mu Jingsheng, then at Qin Zheng, and finally at Liu Xiaoyun, who was standing frozen at the door.

How embarrassing!

After learning Mu Jingsheng's identity, Liu Chengzhi exchanged pleasantries with Mu Jingsheng.

One was a manager, the other a financial tycoon; both were important pillars who made significant contributions to construction and development, and their conversation revealed a mutual respect and admiration.

Liu Xiaoyun stared in disbelief at Mu Jingsheng, who was being flattered by her father.

How could this be...?

Mu Jingsheng took in her expression, snorted coldly, and patted Liu Chengzhi's hand heavily.

His deep, displeased voice spoke with a hidden meaning: "Brother Liu, I originally didn't intend to mix too much into this meal. My son-in-law did a good deed by saving your daughter, so we were just having a simple family reunion dinner together. I never expected... Humph!"

In the end, Mu Jingsheng stared at Liu Xiaoyun and gave a cold snort.

“Although I am just a merchant, I am not short of money or power. The country has always taken the initiative to give me things in exchange for my money. Why should I take the initiative to give money in exchange for power?”

"I've lived most of my life, and this is truly the first time someone has so blatantly slandered me as cunning and treacherous. It's utterly absurd!"

This was a genuine outburst of anger, the first time he had ever shown such fury in front of Ye Yun.

After his anger subsided, his face turned red. If the other party hadn't gone too far, he would never have lost his temper in front of his daughter, maintaining the image of a kind and amiable father.

Liu Chengzhi quickly reassured him, "Brother Mu, Brother Mu, the child is just being silly, please don't take offense!"

"I don't know any better?"

Mu Jingsheng completely ignored him, glancing at Liu Xiaoyun before angrily retorting, "I think she's very sensible! She knows about remote and impoverished areas, knows about unruly people, and knows about cunning schemes—she knows quite a lot! She's a child, but who isn't a child? Aren't my daughter and son-in-law children too? Does she think she's the only one allowed to slander my children?!"

This...this...

Faced with Mu Jingsheng's all-out attack, Liu Chengzhi broke out in a cold sweat, unsure of how to defend himself.

He looked up, wanting Liu Xiaoyun to apologize to Mu Jingsheng and the others.

Before he could even speak, a clear, melodious voice interrupted: "Miss Liu, from the moment you appeared here, your expression revealed your displeasure. Now you're even slandering us for having ulterior motives. May I ask, what grudge do you have against us?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Xiaoyun's face turned pale instantly.

Seemingly afraid of making eye contact with Ye Yun, her eyes darted away as Ye Yun stared directly at her, unable to find a place to settle down.

No one else dared to utter a sound.

Qin Zheng and Ye Yun sat in the same position, leaning back in their chairs, staring at Liu Xiaoyun with scrutiny and doubt in their eyes.

Gu Jin crossed his arms, a slight smile playing on his lips, and gazed at Liu Xiaoyun with a mocking expression.

Mu Jingsheng's expression was unfriendly.

Ye Xia's expression wasn't much better. Although she was slow to react, she could still glean something from other people's words and actions. Seeing that Mu Jingsheng and Ye Yun were annoyed, she also stared at Liu Xiaoyun at the door with a fierce look.
