Chapter 17: Of course, I went to the funeral to eat the feast
The old man of the Mu family has been dead for three days. Today is a good day for his funeral. The second generation of the Mu family has also ended the internal strife over the family property, and the eldest son of the Mu family, Mu Feng, has taken over most of the shares of the Mu Group.
After the internal strife ended and the Mu family took over the group, they began to prepare for Grandpa Mu’s funeral.
The few people who most hoped that Mr. Mu would die sooner also cried the hardest and most miserably at the funeral.
In the eyes of those who are not in the know, Mr. Mu’s children are well-known filial sons in the surrounding area.
"Ah, Mr. Mu's children are so filial. Mr. Mu can go with peace of mind now."
"Master Mu Feng, please accept my condolences. Your health is the most important thing. Old Master Mu certainly doesn't want to see you get too sad and have health problems."
"Yes, Master Mu Feng, the deceased is gone. If Mr. Mu were still alive in heaven and saw how filial you are, he would definitely be very pleased."
"Mr. Mu is really good at educating children, unlike my unfilial sons. I even suspect that if I get sick, my unfilial sons will pull out my oxygen tube."
"It's possible. Those unfilial sons in my family are capable of doing such a thing."
"I hope that those in my family can learn from Patriarch Mu Feng. Even if they are only half as filial as Patriarch Mu Feng, I can die with my eyes closed."
“…”
Mr. Mu's funeral was held in a grand manner. Those who attended the funeral were all important figures in Jiangnan City, including people from the political, business and cultural circles.
Among them was Cao Jinyan who came to the banquet.
"Master Cao?"
"Master Cao is here."
Mu Feng, who was welcoming guests at the door, was surprised when he saw Cao Jinyan, but then he was overjoyed. He stopped pretending to be sad and crying, and ran over happily with a grin on his face.
"It is an honor for our Mu family that Young Master Cao can attend my father's funeral. It also makes my father's funeral glorious..."
Cao Jinyan didn't say anything, and didn't even look at Mu Feng who came over to flatter him. Mu Feng wanted to continue flattering him, but he shut up immediately when he met Tang Bin's eyes.
Just smiled awkwardly.
Then he remembered something and shouted to the housekeeper who was following behind him, "Where's Qingyao? Young Master Cao is here, but she hasn't come out to greet him yet."
Mu Feng's voice was loud and he was standing at the door. Suddenly, many guests who came to attend the funeral turned their attention here.
Many people had heard before that the mysterious Young Master Cao had a crush on the little granddaughter of the Mu family. Unexpectedly, they would see him at Grandpa Mu’s funeral.
This is of extraordinary significance.
Soon, Mu Qingyao, dressed in black mourning clothes, walked out.
After not seeing her for two days, Mu Qingyao looked even more haggard, and her eyes were still red and swollen.
After seeing Cao Jinyan, who was dressed in black, and the Mu family members who were smiling beside him, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes: "What are you doing here?"
"Let's enjoy the feast!" Cao Jinyan looked at Mu Qingyao as if she were an idiot.
If not to enjoy the feast, what else could I come to the funeral for? Do I want to share your sorrow and become unable to take care of myself?
After saying that, Cao Jinyan walked past Mu Qingyao who was glaring at him with red and swollen eyes, found a table with an empty seat and sat down. After he sat down, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into his mouth.
It tastes good.
Everyone around was dumbfounded, especially the people sitting at the same table with him. They were originally chatting lively, but now they didn't dare to say a word.
"Eat it? Why don't you eat it? These melon seeds taste pretty good." Cao Jinyan was like a person who came to watch a show, cracking melon seeds and waiting for the show to begin.
Even Mu Qingyao was dumbfounded and couldn't understand what Cao Jinyan was doing.
Cao Jinyan, who was cracking melon seeds, suddenly stopped and glanced back at Mu Qingyao, who was wearing black mourning clothes: "I left in a hurry and forgot to bring money, but we are all family, so I won't give gifts."
What's the meaning?
A family... Could it be that Mu Qingyao really has gotten on board with Young Master Cao?
The people who came to attend the funeral became excited. If the Mu family really had a relationship with this person, they would have to make other plans for future cooperation with the Mu family.
The Mu family is likely to become the number one family in Jiangnan City.
Hearing Cao Jinyan's words, Mu Feng was delighted. Having been in the business world for many years, he seemed to have seen the grand occasion of the Mu family being ranked first among the four major families in Jiangnan City. He did what the old man could not do. He immediately calmed himself down and walked up to Cao Jinyan with a smile.
"Ah, yes, yes, our Mu family and Young Master Cao will be a family from now on. Qingyao is my most beloved niece. Since my third brother and his wife passed away unexpectedly, I have been the one taking care of her. So from this perspective, I am also half of Qingyao's father..."
At this moment, Mu Feng felt like he was about to fly. He did not have this feeling even when he took over the Mu Group.
Mu Qingyao, who was standing by, was so angry when she heard such shameless words that she almost went berserk. If she hadn't taken the occasion of her grandfather's funeral into consideration, she would have probably gotten close to the person and pointed at his nose and cursed him.
And the scolding will be very ugly.
The last time she scolded Mu Feng and others in the hospital, she deeply realized the insufficiency of her lack of vocabulary, so she went to Zuan to study for a few days, and her skills improved greatly.
This time, because of the bad occasion, she couldn't get close to him, which made her feel very sorry and annoyed. However, at this moment, Cao Jinyan, who was eating melon seeds, suddenly said, "Who the hell are you? Are you worthy of my family?"
Originally, I was indifferent to Mu Feng, a passerby, at most. After all, his ability to flatter and fawn on others was quite useful.
But damn... this guy actually said that he is half of Mu Qingyao's father. Isn't this taking advantage of me in disguise?
I treat you as a stranger, and you actually want to be my dad?
Believe it or not, if the old man knew about it, he would send a missile to make your ancestral grave smoke?
quiet!
Half dead silence.
You could hear a pin drop, and no one spoke.
Mu Feng felt even more uncomfortable at this moment. Over the years, no one had ever dared to embarrass him. He also never thought that Cao Jinyan would actually slap him in the face in front of so many people.
The guests who came to attend the funeral were all trying hard not to laugh out loud, and they looked at Mu Feng as if he was a clown. This made Mu Feng extremely aggrieved, and he had no place to vent his anger.
But let him find trouble with Cao Jinyan and regain his face.
How is that possible? Unless he is crazy, how dare he cause trouble for Cao Jinyan.
You know, Jiangnan City originally had five major families, and the Ye family was once much stronger than his Mu family.
He didn't want to lose everything just after taking over the Mu Group and before he could even get started.
"Master Cao is right. Who am I? I am nothing." Mu Feng licked his face and continued to smile.
Watching everything that happened in just a few minutes, Mu Qingyao suddenly felt extremely comfortable in her heart.
Although she didn't have a good impression of Cao Jinyan, she hated Mu Feng even more. She felt extremely happy when she saw Mu Feng being humiliated.
Is this what status and power feel like?
It’s really... wonderful!
