Chapter 812: Chapter 811 Dirty… Nothing Good to See
 

Luo Qiete’s hazel eyes held a hint of mocking amusement. Without a doubt, he had come today specifically to cause trouble…

The appearance of Luo Qiete made both Jiang Linyan and Old Master Jiang turn pale; they had not anticipated Luo Qiete’s arrival in Beijing, let alone figured out how he had managed to enter the venue.

At that moment, the situation was at a standstill. Luo Qiete’s words left Old Master Jiang with no way to explain. He dared not say anything for fear of making more mistakes the more he spoke.

Jiang Linyan was in the same predicament. How could she dare admit that she had been driven back by Luo Qiete? She was terrified that Luo Qiete would expose all the shameful things she had done because if that happened… she truly couldn’t bear to imagine…

Watching the silent Jiang Linyan and Old Master Jiang, whispers started to fill the room, and Wen Yunuo, sitting in the back in the rest area, angrily smashed her coffee cup to the ground.

“What on earth is going on with this old bastard? How many contemptible things has he done? That Jiang Linyan is really trouble!”

Xiao Ci stood by Wen Yunuo’s side, head bowed, not saying a word. Although his relationship with Jiang Linyan was merely a business one, he still felt humiliated by how the situation had unfolded.

“How do you plan to deal with today’s situation?” Wen Yunuo lifted her head to look at Xiao Ci, not ready yet to lose the Jiang family as a pawn in her game.

“I have no idea how to handle this, and as you know, nobody can control Luo Qiete. With the situation as it is, I’m really afraid he’ll just pull out a gun, and then… it would be troublesome.”

Xiao Ci’s words were ones that Wen Yunuo had also considered – Luo Qiete was a madman, which is why… she too did not dare to act rashly.

“It was you, it must have been you. You were the one who brought him here, weren’t you? You’re still bitter about me spreading rumors about you, furious about me exposing your affair with Chu Mufeng, so you went to him to get him to come after me, right?”

Suddenly, Jiang Linyan, like a madwoman, charged towards Wen Xin, but before she could get close, she was stopped by Qian Meng and Mu Bei, who hurried to stand in front of Wen Xin.

“I remember seeing you back in P City. Although I couldn’t believe it was you back then, it must have been!”

Even with Qian Meng and Mu Bei holding her back, Jiang Linyan had lost all rational thought at that moment; her only desire was to break through and tear Wen Xin to pieces.

“Why are you doing this? You’ve already stolen Mu Chengxi from me, why do you want to ruin my engagement as well? You…”

“Shut your mouth!”

Old Master Jiang gripped his cane with both hands, his body trembling slightly. He was still pondering how to deny Luo Qiete’s words when Jiang Linyan blurted out her trip to P City in her agitation, completely spoiling any chance he had of salvaging the situation!

“Mr. Luo Qiete, our issues can be dealt with after the banquet ends, if that’s alright with you. Today is my eightieth birthday celebration.”

At that moment, Old Master Jiang had none of his earlier imposing manner, and even his tone of speech carried a note of pleading.

Luo Qiete was not the type to be swayed by sweet talk; he let out a cold laugh.

“I remember Old Master Jiang begging me in the same way when he needed my help, but once he turned around, Old Master Jiang would deny ever knowing me. If Old Master Jiang does not give me a satisfactory explanation today, I’m afraid I’ll have to be impolite, and I’ll take her away…”

Luo Qiete turned his head to gaze at Jiang Linyan, who was being restrained by Qian Meng and Mu Bei not far away. He walked over to Jiang Linyan and unceremoniously pulled her away from their grasp to his side.

Jiang Linyan looked at the man dragging her with terror. She wanted to struggle, but her arm hurt too much. The pain was so intense that she had no strength to break free.

All the people in the venue watched this scene and couldn’t help but step back; some even worried about getting involved and sneaked away…

“Luo Qiete, let go of my fiancée. Whatever you want, we can talk about it…”

Just then, Xiao Ci walked out from behind and came to Old Master Jiang’s side, one hand supporting Old Master Jiang and the other pointing at Luo Qiete, hoping to make Luo Qiete let go of Jiang Linyan.

The moment Xiao Ci appeared, Luo Qiete couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “You’ve been cuckolded, and yet you can still come out so calmly. If you want her, it’s not impossible. I want thirty percent of Kunshan Group’s shares… Can you give them?”

“You’re going too far, Luo Qiete. Aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to walk out of Beijing?” Xiao Ci had not expected Luo Qiete to set his sights on the shares of Kunshan Group. How could this be possible…

“Heh, then let me show you something even more excessive!”

After saying that, Luo Qiete gave Xiao Ci a mysterious smile. He flung Jiang Linyan away and snapped his fingers toward the sky, and countless photographs began to fall from above…

Wen Xin raised her hand to catch one of the photographs, glanced at it, and clicked her tongue lightly, “Not bad at all, quite a nice figure…”

Mu Chengxi, seeing Wen Xin’s action, took the photo from her hands, and without even looking at it, disgustingly threw it on the ground, then took out a wet wipe from his pocket to clean her fingers…

“Dirty… nothing to see here!”

The people behind Mu Chengxi watched his actions and couldn’t help but gasp. They had never seen such a way of humiliating someone.

Wen Xin turned her head to look at Mu Chengxi and raised her eyebrows at him, “It seems there’s no way to cause trouble today. Let’s not stay here for the spectacle any longer, let’s go back.”

Wen Xin had been low on energy lately, she was truly a bit tired, and she also needed to go back for a medicinal bath, so she couldn’t waste too much time here watching the commotion.

Staying here no longer seemed necessary.

“Okay.” Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin with indulgence, took her hand, and prepared to leave. However, as they barely started to leave the venue, they heard Old Master Jiang’s aged voice behind them.

“Chengxi…”

When Mu Chengxi heard someone calling him, he paused in his steps and slowly turned around to look at Old Master Jiang, who had aged considerably in just a moment.

“Old Master Jiang, my position in the Mu family is already precarious. I’m really unable to help you. I’m sorry, we have to go now.”

After speaking, Mu Chengxi didn’t give Old Master Jiang a chance to speak again and left the banquet hall through the main entrance with Wen Xin, followed by a procession of people behind them.

With Mu Chengxi’s departure, all the guests in the banquet hall hurriedly found excuses to leave, until only Old Master Jiang, who was supported by Xiao Ci, Jiang Linyan who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, Housekeeper Jiang, and the calm and collected Luo Qiete, remained standing in his place.
