after an unknown amount of time.
just as mu yiling was about to sit down under the pressure …
cyril couldn’t keep his cool any longer, and he spoke first, ” young master mu, you’ve come to our faires family as a guest, yet you don’t even have the slightest bit of etiquette. it’s a little inappropriate for you to still be sitting there even when the host is here, right? “
cyril stood in the middle of the room while mu yichen sat on the same spot and sipped his tea calmly.
this reduced cyril’s imposing manner by a notch.
mu yichen only raised his head at this moment. a cold sneer appeared at the corners of his lips. he pouted. ” although i’m a guest, one’s status is more important in a big family like ours. “
“what do you mean by that?” cyril’s expression changed slightly. ” are you telling me that you have a higher status than me? hmph, you chinese have become so arrogant?”
“i’m telling the truth,” mu yichen said indifferently. i don’t mean to look down on the faires family. however, i’m already the young master of the mu family, and you … you’re only the heir of the faires family. of course, i don’t have to get up to see you. if the patriarch of the fields family was here, i would naturally give him the respect he deserves.”
cyril’s expression became even more unsightly.
however, mu yichen was speaking the truth.
he was only the heir to the faires family, and he was not the only heir!
although he was the eldest son of the family head, the faires family only looked at strength. it did not mean that he would be able to rise to the top just because he had a noble bloodline.
judging from this point, mu yichen, who was already firmly seated in the position of the mu family’s young master, naturally had a higher status than him.
he had suffered a loss and didn’t dare to underestimate young master mu anymore.
he put away his slightly frivolous expression and became serious.
” i know you want to see my father, but he really has something urgent to attend to. i haven’t seen him in two months, let alone you. “
two months?
a dark glint flashed past mu yichen’s eyes.
lu wenjun had been missing for exactly two months …
he thought for a moment and asked,”if i may ask, what’s the urgent matter that the patriarch of the fields has? why can’t we meet?” i’ve already contacted him three days ago, and he agreed to this meeting. isn’t it a little rude to change his mind now?”
cyril shook his head. ” this is related to our family’s secret. if i were to reveal it, i’d definitely be blamed by father. however, if you have anything, you can tell me directly. even if i can’t make the decision, i can tell my father.”
mu yichen squinted his eyes when he heard this. he tapped his fingers on the coffee table gently.
“this …” he muttered.
he did not speak immediately.
on the other hand, mu yiling became anxious. he could not help but turn his head to look at his elder brother.
it wasn’t easy for them to get to the faires family and meet their young master. it was such a good opportunity, why didn’t his big brother quickly tell him what he wanted?
what was he hesitating about?
mu yichen muttered to himself for a long time.
cyril had been waiting quietly. mu yiling, on the other hand, almost blurted it out on behalf of his brother.
“young master cyril …”
mu yichen suddenly spoke.
“what can i do for you, young master mu?”
“my visit to your family this time is mainly to represent the mu family to discuss the matter of cooperation with the faires family,” mu yichen said. the mu family wants to enter the european market, and i’ve also heard that the faires family is interested in the asian market. it just so happens that we can form a strong alliance …”
