Chapter 282 A Blessing in Disguise
...
At Hongshan Manor, what should have been a perfect wedding turned into a farce.
Mother Lin was furious and vowed to find the murderer and seek justice for Lin Xian'er at all costs. She ordered all the guests not to leave.
Although this move caused dissatisfaction among some people, several ladies stood up to speak for her, and even Mr. Sheng called to inquire about the situation.
The guests were proud of their status and could not stand being humiliated. The people in higher positions were even more prestigious, so the situation became deadlocked for a while.
At this moment, Mu Liansheng stood up, told the butler to continue entertaining the guests, and solemnly declared: "Today is a festive day. Although some unpleasant things happened, this will not affect the Mu family's gratitude to all the guests."
Mu Liansheng promised to waive the one-year custody fee for all people's money placed in the underground bank to express the Mu family's sincerity and gratitude.
The Mu family's business is far more than just monopolizing the World Bank. Part of its assets come from safekeeping private assets for wealthy people around the world, earning a huge management fee every year.
In order to resolve the conflict, he was able to directly offer a one-year exemption from the sky-high management fee, which immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience.
Men are born to be dissolute, and even if they wear formal clothes, they can't hide their romantic temperament.
"I'll make sure my promise stands," he said, turning his gaze to the shepherd with a provocative smile on his face.
Mu Liansheng walked over slowly, blinked slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and added, "Unless, my dear father, you have a better way."
The shepherd father frowned, his face was livid, and he was obviously extremely angry. "You evil son, you'd better not let me find out that all these things today have something to do with you."
Mu Liansheng lit another cigarette, holding it in the corner of his mouth, raised his long eyebrows, and smiled evilly, "Of course it is..."
He spoke slowly and always liked to admire the shepherd's expression with his frivolous eyes.
Just as the shepherd father was furious, the man sighed, "Of course it has nothing to do with me. How could a son have the heart to ruin his father's second marriage?"
Rather than saying that this is Mu's father's wedding, it would be more like Mu Liansheng's home court.
He moved among the guests with ease. Jiang Zhiyue witnessed the presence of many politicians. Mu Liansheng could talk to everyone. Some elderly officials patted him on the shoulder and seemed to be praising him in admiration.
The man held the wine glass with a wicked smile on his face, and when he turned around, he brushed his shoulders calmly.
Mother Lin's eyes were as sharp as torches, sweeping over everyone present.
The police also quickly intervened and launched a comprehensive investigation, carefully inspected the scene, collected evidence, and strived to find key clues as soon as possible.
The attackers seemed to have planned the attack in advance and left no trace.
Everyone has his own thoughts and goals.
Mrs. Gu was busy discussing the details of the auction with several noble ladies. They were in high spirits during the conversation, smiled at each other, and raised their glasses to drink together.
In the big world of fame and fortune, no small episode can stop its operation. Even today's protagonist, the shepherd father, will not show more reaction because of the bride's experience.
He stared at Mu Liansheng for a long time, trying to get him out of the way. Mu Liansheng was chatting and laughing with the politicians, and Mu's father was left at a disadvantage.
The right to speak unconsciously leaned towards Mu Liansheng. This was probably the dangerous thing about this man. He acted dissolutely and seemed to be not serious, but he could always make people inadvertently convinced by his methods.
Mrs. Gu suddenly gave Jiang Zhiyue a look. Jiang Zhiyue didn't want to provoke the Mu family father and son, so she always managed to hide herself in a corner very well.
The girl remained silent in her heart, her eyes focused on the time displayed on the mobile phone screen.
As if waiting for something, his eyes fell on the screen, not even willing to blink.
Perhaps because she was hurt in the hospital, Sheng Huai'an felt guilty and told her for the first time that she must tell him if she encountered any difficulties.
Jiang Zhiyue's situation was a blessing in disguise, otherwise some things would be difficult to find out no matter what.
She always remembered the girl she met in the casino... After returning, she confirmed it again and again, took out a pen and carefully drew the girl's eyes, and then logged on to the Wharton official website. Every new student has an admission photo.
She held the portrait in her hand and compared it repeatedly with Zhou Xiuzhi's photo. No matter which angle she looked at it from, she felt that the person was Zhou Xiuzhi.
Incredibly, the information she found after returning showed that Zhou Xiuzhi was working as a volunteer in a nursing home.
There were also some photos taken in a nursing home on Zhou Xiuzhi's Lins, but the time and place didn't match. Jiang Zhiyue chose to believe her own eyes. She was sure that she was not mistaken. The person was Zhou Xiuzhi, unless Zhou Xiuzhi had a twin sister.
She had no right to investigate Zhou Xiuzhi's background, as detailed information about citizens was only available to privileged people.
Jiang Zhiyue could only ask Sheng Huaian for help.
Although Sheng Huaian was a little puzzled as to why she wanted to investigate a girl who was also a special admissions student, but seeing that Jiang Zhiyue had no intention of explaining, he agreed and asked her to wait for news.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't see the man in the hall, so she sent a private message to ask him and learned that he had gone to the hospital to accompany Sheng's father.
Soon, Sheng Huaian replied to her with another message, which included Zhou Xiuzhi's personal information for admission.
Jiang Zhiyue clicked on it and saw that Zhou Xiuzhi was marked as an orphan and had lived on the streets performing arts for a living. The information also mentioned that she had once met a world-renowned violin master and received guidance from the master.
The master praised Zhou Xiuzhi as a natural musician with enviable musical talent, and recommended her to take exams for a prestigious school.
Zhou Xiuzhi was admitted to Wharton College's music department with the first place, which was well deserved.
Jiang Zhiyue disagreed because she never believed in coincidences.
How could it be such a coincidence that when I was reduced to performing on the streets, I happened to meet a world-class teacher passing by?
There must be something else going on here.
She hoped that Sheng Huaian could find more clues, so she asked one more question: "Has anything bad happened to the Bai family in recent years?"
Sheng Huaian smiled back at her, as if he was pleased with the girl's trust.
Jiang Zhiyue was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the person on the other end of the chat window had gone offline.
She raised her head and placed herself in the least conspicuous corner, but soon she saw someone walking towards her.
It was Mu Liansheng. He ordered her and picked up the champagne on the table and handed it to him.
The man's eyes were as fiery as fire, and there were several guests standing beside him. Jiang Zhiyue naturally could not offend him in public, so she respectfully handed him a glass of champagne.
Mu Liansheng gently hooked her fingertips, blinked at her reluctantly, revealing a hint of intimacy.
Jiang Zhiyue remained calm, looking past the man and saw Mrs. Gu also looking at her.
The next second, someone hurried over and said a few words, and Mrs. Gu's face suddenly changed.
