Chapter 700: 277 The relatives who flew onto the branches, The Great God Files (First Update)_2

Ren Wanxuan quickly took a glass and followed Dong Chuan.

At Ji Shaojun’s table, Ji Heng and Jiang Fulai were not present, and his own words had always been scarce.

Mu Yining had just entered the hall and knew the situation upon seeing Mu Youjun’s area. She glanced at Dong Chuan and Ren Wanxuan, then introduced the people at the table with a light smile, “Xiaochuan, these two here are Director Feng and Chairman Liao, and this is CEO Xu…” _{freewebnøvel.com}

As she introduced them one by one, Dong Chuan finally understood who Director Feng was.

He was surprised on the inside, and his demeanor became even more humble.

He had initially thought that Ji Shaojun and Shen Qing were just ordinary people. In fact, Ji Heng was indeed born of a concubine and later chose to leave the Mu family voluntarily. He hadn’t contacted the Mu family for forty or fifty years and had only been in Xiangcheng, so Dong Chuan hadn’t taken much notice at first.

Who knew that this relative would pull such a grand move? Dong Chuan thought to himself that this year, for the Lunar New Year, their elders and mother would personally visit the Mu Mansion to pay their respects.

Dong Chuan had always held himself with high status and dignity, even when facing Mu Youjun. This was the first time that Ren Wanxuan saw him lowering himself to such an extent.

As for the table behind them, Dong Chuan didn’t dare to take another glance.

Ren Wanxuan looked back.

At Bai Lian’s table.

Director Chen had left in the middle of his meal to join Ji Heng for a drink, while Xu En and Ji Shaojun were discussing business at the table behind. Amidst the clinking of glasses, even Shen Qing was repeatedly toasted. She didn’t understand the situation, only hazily joining in the drinking with her beverage. When others toasted, they drank a shot of liquor in one gulp, but with each sip of her drink, no one dared to say a word.

Tang Ming and Pu Xiaohan were chattering away, with Pu Xiaohan leisurely videotaping the process of serving the dishes with her phone.

Ren Wanxuan frowned slightly as she observed Pu Xiaohan doing this, and her peripheral vision caught Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai beside her, giving her a sudden jolt.

She simply could not understand.

“Whiz Kid,” Tang Ming still had to go back in the afternoon to check on Zhang Shize’s homework. He’d only had a few drinks and suddenly thought of something, “When will you give the gift to Uncle Ji?”

Ning Xiao lowered his head to look at the paper box at his feet. The box was a fifty-centimeter wide square, quite large, and with some heft.

He didn’t yet know what was inside but knew that Wang Youfeng was not one to joke about this kind of thing: “I’ll give it to him when we leave.”

Tang Ming nodded. He wanted to see the gift in advance.

On hearing about this connection to Bai Lian, Jiang Fulai, who had already moved aside, also raised his eyes indifferently, giving Mu Zhao a glance.

Mu Zhao’s back stiffened under the gaze.

At the right moment, Ning Xiao handed the paper box to Ji Shaojun, concisely stating, “Uncle Ji.”

“Is this for me?” Ji Shaojun, who had had a bit to drink and was conversing with Liao Guangxuan, took the square paper box with a smile, thinking it was a small token from a child, “Thank you.”

After receiving it, he felt its few pounds of weight – not heavy, not knowing what was inside.

A bunch of people stood at the entrance of the Mu Mansion, waiting for the car carrying Bai Lian and the others to drive away, and the breath that had been hanging in everyone’s hearts finally dissipated.

Ever since Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai had appeared, Mu Youjun had been much more silent. She walked back a distance with Mu Yining before speaking up, “Why didn’t you say earlier?”

“I also just found out,” Mu Yining shook her head, her expression serious: “You can see as well, he’s come because of our great-grandfather and others, not directly related to our Mu family.”

Mu Youjun fell silent.

There was another family banquet in the evening, but Mu Youjun didn’t stay, hastily returning to the Gao Family.
