You can go now.
When Li Mu spoke, Mi Xi snapped out of her daze and forced a smile.
"Sister, let's go then," she said, pretending to be affectionate as she took Li Mu's arm and walked out with him.
Li Hongyun was having breakfast at the restaurant when he saw Mi Xi walking downstairs with Li Mu, and he showed a relieved expression.
When Mi Xi saw that Li Hongyun and Mi Lan were both there, she greeted Li Hongyun with a smile and said, "Good morning, Dad."
Yes, good morning, very good, really good, Xixi, you've grown up.
Mi Xi... What do you mean I've grown up? Does being with Li Mu make me grown up? Mi Xi thought to herself.
Mi Xi brought Li Mu to Emperor International and said with a smile, "I've heard that the things here are very good."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Let's go in first."
Mi Xi pulled Li Mu along as they looked around and bought a lot of things, while two bodyguards carried large and small bags behind them.
Sister, you have such good taste! I love all the choices you made.
Li Mu was speechless. He looked at his phone and saw a message from Qin Luochen.
Little Mumu Rhine Club is having a family gathering tonight. Don't forget, you absolutely have to come! There's a surprise waiting for you, and you'll definitely regret it if you don't.
Mi Xi, who was standing nearby, also saw the contents of Li Mu's phone.
Sister, can I go? I've never been to a party like this before.
Li Mu had no choice but to agree to take her, but she had better behave herself. Everyone going there was either rich or powerful, so she shouldn't offend anyone.
I understand, sister. Let's go now. I'm not going shopping anymore.
Li Mu shrugged, it didn't matter, and got into the car to head to the Rhine Club.
Rhine Club, top-tier private room. Li Mu pushed open the door and apologized for being late.
After he finished speaking, Li Mu was stunned.
Ah, ah, ah, Xiaoxiao, someone rushed up and hugged Li Mu tightly.
Li Mu subconsciously pushed away the person who was holding her tightly.
The woman who was pushed away by Li Mu seemed a little sad, with a wronged look on her face. Xiao Xiao pouted.
Li Mu pushed the woman away before he could see her clearly. He looked at her closely for a long time before asking uncertainly, "Are you from Jiangsu?"
The woman from Jiangsu felt wronged. "Xiaoxiao, have you forgotten about me?"
Li Mu was a little embarrassed and quickly said, "No, it's just too sudden."
He immediately hugged Jiangsu back, saying, "Welcome back."
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Qin Luochen quickly jumped out and pulled the two of them to sit down.
After Li Mu and Jiangsu were pulled to sit down, Mi Xi was left standing alone at the door.
Some people were indifferent, while others were pointing fingers and making comments.
Isn't this the second young lady of the Li family?
Who invited him?
When our aristocratic families gather, the most basic requirement is that the members be direct descendants of the family. This second young lady is not a direct descendant, is she?
Yes, I've also heard that this second young lady isn't a direct descendant.
Mi Xi lowered her head, clenched her fists, and remained silent.
Ling Hao stood up from the crowd.
That's right, Ling Hao will naturally be attending the gathering of prominent families.
Ling Hao, holding Mi Xi's hand, addressed everyone present, saying, "This is the second young lady of the Li family, and also my girlfriend, Ling Hao's girlfriend. If nothing unexpected happens, she will also be my future wife."
Many people in the crowd cast amused glances at him. One person even joked, "Ling Hao, you scoundrel, how could you say something like that? Have you thought it through?"
Ling Hao disagreed, saying, "Since I've already spoken, I naturally won't go back on my word."
Jiangsu looked at Li Mu with a blank expression, his eyes seeming to say, "When did you get a younger sister?"
Li Mu smiled back, "That's how it happened."
Qin Luochen stared blankly at the two women exchanging glances.
Halfway through the party, Li Yi walked in and apologized for being late.
A person ran out from the crowd and grabbed Li Yi's arm, and the crowd cheered.
Li Mu couldn't help but touch his forehead when he saw this scene.
The girl who rushed at him was Meng Manman, the eldest daughter of the Meng family in Y City.
Meng Manman has liked Li Yi since she was a child, and she always sticks to his side.
Li Yi was also helpless. The old lady of the Meng family and her own grandmother were old best friends, and Meng Manman often came and went from the Li family.
"Manman, let go of me! Aren't you ashamed with so many people watching?" Li Yi's tone had a lecturing quality.
Meng Manman pouted and slowly let go of Li Yi's arms.
Li Mu beckoned to Meng Manman, and Manman came over to sit down.
Li Mu's actions were a way of getting the two out of a tight spot. Throughout the gathering, wherever Li Yi was, Meng Manman would sit next to him.
Li Mu ignored Li Yi and chatted very happily with Jiangsu.
Qin Luochen and several boys were drinking together.
Mi Xi tried her best to please Ling Hao, and Ling Hao's friends around her joined in the teasing.
In the evening, cars were lined up neatly in front of the Rhine Hotel. A man with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a high nose got out of one of the cars.
The manager at the entrance saw the commotion and hurried out to greet them. When he saw the man getting out of the car, he respectfully called him Young Master Gu.
Young Master Gu, Gu Kaizhi, is the future successor of the Gu family.
Gu Kaizhi walked straight in, his voice drifting out softly, indicating the speed of the bodyguard's cover.
Okay, Mr. Gu.
The gathering of prominent families ended, and people walked out in twos and threes.
Ling Hao was about to leave when he reached the door, only to be blocked by a man, which displeased him.
Qin Luochen jumped out from behind, calling out "Brother Gu, Brother Gu".
Brother Gu, you're back. You're not leaving again this time, are you?
"Yes, I'm not leaving," he said, giving Qin Luochen a hard slap on the back of the head.
He said with a half-smile, "How many times have I told you? I call your uncle 'brother,' but you call me that. You have no respect for elders. You really need to be taught a lesson."
Brother Gu, you're not that much older than me, so it's not wrong for me to call you brother. You're just a senior, hmph. I can't let you take advantage of me.
Gu Kaizhi scoffed and said, "Come upstairs with me, have a drink. I'll call your uncle to come and deal with you."
Qin Luochen didn't care at all, "Brother Gu, my friend can come too, okay?"
I have no objection as long as they are willing.
Qin Luochen ran up to Li Mu and the others and told them about it.
Several people shook their heads.
You guys are really not being fair. Li Mu, you're coming with me.
Why me? Li Mu was somewhat surprised.
They don't know you, but you should.
Do I know him?
You'll see when you come with me.
He turned and waved to Li Yi and Jiangsu, saying, "You can go back now."
Curious about who it was, Li Mu agreed and went with Qin Luochen to take the blame.
Mi Xi ran to Ling Hao's side and whispered, "Brother Hao, do you know this person?"
Ling Hao shook his head, indicating that he did not recognize him, and then said in a low voice, "I guess this person must be some big shot in the military."
Mi Xi gritted her teeth in anger. Why did Li Mu know so many big shots?
Qin Yin, come find me in Rhine.
Gu Kaizhi, who gave you the courage? Tell me quickly.
Cough cough, Brother Qin, Brother Qin, is that alright? I just got back to China today, can't you come over and have a drink with me?
Hmph, Gu Kaizhi, this mission has been dragging on for too long, but I'll let you go since you did a pretty good job.
Okay, I'll be waiting for you.
