Rebirth of the King of Waves

Chapter 153 Mu Shanming's Chaos
"Attorney Mu, on behalf of the X State Bar Association, I welcome you to join us."

"This is a small gift for you on Women's Day."

"And if I may ask, may I invite you to lunch?"

"I'm sorry, but someone in my family doesn't like me going out alone with someone of the opposite sex."

"Oh? Attorney Mu... got married?"

"Pretty much." In the office building of the X State Bar Association, Mu Shanming took a small paper bag from a local industry veteran, smiled and shook hands with him, then ambiguously declined the invitation.

A moment later, she came out of the building and got into a stretched Land Rover parked on the side of the road.

The industry tycoon upstairs looked on with regret, muttering to himself: Didn't the information say she was unmarried? But then again, this woman is so attractive, and she looks like a young girl even in her thirties, it's not surprising that she's taken.

But that car...

Whose?
How come I've never seen it before?
The big shot watched the Land Rover slowly drive away, the license plate on the back of the car being local.

And it's an account that was obviously bought with money—XXTT520.

The local owner of this license plate number shouldn't have never heard of it before...

……

"Attorney Mu, where are we going now?" Zhao Hu asked, glancing at the rearview mirror as he drove.

Mu Shanming thought for a moment and asked, "Where is your boss now?"

"I went to see the old man," Zhao Hu said.

“Then let’s go…” Mu Shanming was about to say that he was going to find Ning Bishu.

But just then, the phone rang.

Upon seeing that it was Ye Jingyang calling, she answered the call without hesitation.

The next second, Ye Jingyang shouted from the other end:
"Attorney Mu! Something's happened at your home! Can you come back now?"

"What's wrong?" Mu Shanming frowned.

My first thought was that I had encountered some kind of trouble, like being extorted or blackmailed by the property management.

Unexpectedly, Ye Jingyang blurted out, "President Ning and the others have all come to your house, saying they want to see you!"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Mu Shanming's expression instantly turned even more unpleasant.

At this moment, she felt very conflicted.

On the one hand, she firmly advocates for female independence and refuses to be subservient to men, but deep down, she deeply resents Ning Bishu's philandering behavior—most importantly, if things really come down to it, she is the one who is the other woman!
Damn it, I don't even have the right to be angry, okay?

Even if Xiao Taotao knew that Ning Bishu had bought her a house worth 400 million yuan and given her 100 million yuan in cash, which was equivalent to the cost of prostitution, Mu Shanming would feel powerless whenever she thought that one day she might have to face Xiao Taotao, her original wife, as a "prostitute".

The reason she agreed to let Ning Bishu buy the house downstairs from his mother was, subconsciously, also because she had her own ulterior motives.

She wanted both Ning Bishu's mother to acknowledge her identity and a desire to secretly move in first, hoping to gradually develop a relationship with Bi Guifen and eventually take the parental route to naturally push Xiao Taotao out of her rightful place.

Mu Shanming admitted that her thinking was very un-feminine and unindependent.

Extremely stingy.

It's incredibly twisted and pretentious.

but……

She just felt that this was the best way.

After all, while Ning Bishu and Xiao Taotao's relationship may not be common knowledge across the internet, at least in the eyes of Ning Bishu's more than 200 million fans, Xiao Taotao is the true "stock market guru's wife"! If one day her relationship with Ning Bishu were to be exposed and posted online for public condemnation and criticism, Mu Shanming would definitely not be able to accept such a situation, at least within her moral value system.

Therefore, she both longed for and avoided this matter.

After returning to X Prefecture with Ning Bishu the day before yesterday, she hasn't dared to stay at the Wangfu Jinxiu Jiayuan.

The two slept in the hotel for two nights.

Ning Bishu has not returned home.

Over the past two days, Mu Shanming, under the guise of work, has been running around every day, handling all the procedures for the law firm's relocation. He works outside during the day and goes back to the hotel at night to do other things with Ning Bishu.

They are busy every day and pretend that the hotel is their home.

But such days won't last long.

Just two days later, the packages she sent from Beijing, along with the furniture she had chosen for her new home, all arrived this morning, as if by prior arrangement. She had no choice but to hand the keys to Ye Jingyang and ask him to help her move them in.

He had planned that with Ye Jingyang's intervention, he could simply sneak in and stay there quietly in a few days.

No one will notice her.

But who the hell could have predicted the outcome...

The move wasn't even finished yet, and Ning Bishu's whole family already knew?

Which bastard whose entire family is dead betrayed you?

Mu Shanming's heart raced and his face turned pale.

It was just like when she was a child, and her family found out she had done something wrong for the first time.

I dare not face it.

I want to admit it, but I don't have the courage...

After a long while, she gently replied to Ye Jingyang, "I know, I'll be there in a bit."

Then, after hanging up the phone and hesitating for a moment, he said to Zhao Hu, "Brother Hu, go to Wangfu Jinxiu Jiayuan."

"Oh," Zhao Hu responded, then, noticing Mu Shanming's expression, asked again, "What happened?"

"No, why do you ask that?" Mu Shanming gave a fake smile.

Zhao Hu said, "You don't look too well."

"No, I'm fine." Mu Shanming looked out of the car window, and after a few seconds, he said, "You know, Ning Bishu is really impatient. I told him to register a company first before buying a car, but he refused and insisted on buying it right away."

Zhao Hu laughed and said, "The boss said he doesn't need those few tax deductions. Anyone who's concerned about that little bit of money is a small-minded peasant at heart, only thinking about being stingy and saving money, without any vision of contributing to society. He said he disdains associating with low-class bumpkins."

Mu Shanming shook his head and sighed, "I can't control what he thinks. I knew he spent money like that without a second thought, he wouldn't save where he could, and he'd spend whenever he needed to. I'm really worried that one day he'll run out of money..."

Zhao Hu replied, "If it can last for thirty years, that's fine."

"Hmm?" Mu Shanming looked puzzled.

Zhao Hu said, "In another thirty years, everyone will retire and have pensions, so they won't starve."

Mu Shanming couldn't help but smile.

Will they not starve to death?
For someone who has amassed hundreds of millions, simply surviving might be worse than dying outright...

……

The Land Rover drove away.

More than half an hour later, we drove into the east gate of Wangfu Jinxiu Jiayuan. Then we drove along the main road of the community for another five minutes or so before finally arriving at Building 16.

At this time, there were still many movers busy in front of Building 16.

She carried the double bed, sofa set, and various appliances that Mu Shanming had just ordered, along with the luggage she had mailed, upstairs piece by piece.

The technicians responsible for installing and debugging electrical appliances also squeezed in.

It looks busy, yet there's an orderly chaos.

Mu Shanming took a deep breath, feeling that Ning Bishu's family had come at a really bad time.

Moving is so busy, and the homeowner doesn't have time to take care of things.

Couldn't we have come on another day?
Little did she know, this group was supposed to visit A06. If she hadn't been lost and needed to call Ning Guorong, who lived in the same community, to be her guide, she would never have encountered this group of completely unfamiliar "relatives" today.

With deep trepidation and unease, Mu Shanming silently followed the movers into the elevator.

A moment later, the elevator doors opened.

She followed the group of people into the entrance hall on the 5th floor.

The room was noisy and bustling with voices.

The moment she stepped into the house, all eyes of Bi Guifen, Ning Bishu's grandmother, and others who were waiting inside immediately turned to her.

"Attorney Mu!" Ye Jingyang shouted.

The next moment, upstairs and downstairs, Ning Bishu's large group of relatives, like hamsters, all scurried out of their rooms and excitedly rushed to Mu Shanming. It was Mu Shanming's first time meeting the parents, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.

Then a relatively familiar face stepped out from the crowd. Ning Guorong smiled broadly and said, "Attorney Mu! Come, come! Let me introduce you. This is Bi Shu's mother, and this is Bi Shu's grandmother..."

Mu Shanming was still in a daze when Ning Guorong pulled him in front of Bi Guifen.

Seeing Bi Guifen's white hair and weathered face, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

But I didn't know what to say.

Bi Guifen was equally tongue-tied, but she was simply amazed by the girl in front of her—or so she could call her from her perspective, because Mu Shanming gave her the feeling of being too mature.

It's not just her appearance, but also the aura she exudes.

Today, Mu Shanming is dressed a bit more like a mature and sophisticated woman.

Bright red clothes, heavy makeup.

It might be very attractive to some older men, but in Bi Guifen's eyes, it's a bit too domineering for someone her age.

It was Ning Bishu's grandmother who took a liking to her almost at first sight.

Grandma Ning Bishu hurriedly grabbed Mu Shanming's hand and asked excitedly and happily in a dialect that Mu Shanming couldn't understand, "Child, are you my son Ashu's girlfriend? How is your relationship now? Are you living together?"

It started with meat dishes.

Mu Shanming couldn't understand, but Ning Guorong translated for him, "Grandma asked if you slept with Ashu."

Her face immediately turned red.

"Grandma, you're too direct..." Mu Shanming said, both amused and exasperated.

But if we're talking about direct connections, it's the uncles and cousins ​​of Ning Bishu who are standing nearby.

Their eyes lit up as they looked Mu Shanming up and down repeatedly.

They exchanged glances and nodded frequently.

"Beautiful!"

"Hmm, beautiful..."

"Ah Shu is pretty good, he's got some skills..."

My cousin chuckled lewdly and spoke in dialect, not afraid that Mu Shanming would understand.

Mu Shanming, on the other hand, was being held by Ning Bishu's grandmother, and he couldn't shake her off.

Grandma Ning Bishu, as if she had found a treasure to protect her home, kept saying, "Child, don't be afraid. If A-Shu has slept with you, I'll make him marry you!"

Ning Guorong looked extremely anxious, as if he were looking for a wife for his own son. "Attorney Mu, please tell Grandma! Grandma will stand up for you! We will all stand up for you!"

Mu Shanming was completely numb.

Why are you all crowding around asking this kind of question?

However, outside the crowd, all the movers and decorators, including Ye Jingyang, had already put down their work.

As soon as Mu Shanming entered the elevator, the group of people became very curious about her identity.

Seeing her being besieged by the man's relatives, I'm even more eager to hear some gossip from her.

Stuck in a corner and unwilling to admit it, Mu Shanming could only say shyly, "Go ask him!"

"Oh~~!" Ning Guorong immediately exclaimed, turning to Ning Bishu's grandmother and saying, "Mom! I've slept with her! I've slept with her! Are you relieved now? Isn't this granddaughter-in-law good? Isn't she good?"

"Great! Oh my! How could this not be great? How could it not be great?" Ning Bishu's grandmother was so excited that she took off the gold bracelet she was wearing and was about to put it on Mu Shanming's wrist.

Mu Shanming hurriedly refused, waving his hands repeatedly.

Then, at that moment, someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up.

"Wait a minute! Isn't Ah Shu's girlfriend still in high school?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the festive atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

Mu Shanming's shy smile froze instantly.

Taking advantage of Ning Bishu's momentary daze, her grandmother slipped the gold bracelet onto her wrist.

Everyone stared blankly at Mu Shanming.

Mu Shanming took a deep breath and said to Grandma Ning Bishu, "Grandma, I have something to do. I'll come see you again in a few days."

He turned around, his face cold, and left the room.

"Attorney Mu!" Ye Jingyang hurriedly chased after her.

Seeing this, Ning Guorong immediately frowned and said irritably, "Who the hell is talking nonsense? Are you out of your mind?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Their expressions were all extremely awkward.

Ning Bishu's cousin gritted his teeth, strode over to his son Axin, raised his hand, and slapped him across the face, yelling, "What the hell are you spouting!"

"That's for sure!" Ah Xin shouted. "Ah Shu's girlfriend is only a senior in high school, her name is Xiao Tao Tao! The whole world knows that!"

Holy crap...!
My cousin was so angry he wanted to chop up his stupid son.

The workers inside the house stopped watching the spectacle.

"Get to work! Get to work!"

They scattered, pretending they hadn't heard anything.

I just secretly envied her.

Damn, it's so great to be rich.

He kept a mistress, and the whole family knew about it.

There's another main house outside, and he's only in his final year of high school!

Is that human being?
This is clearly...

The best of the best!

"Where's Ashu? Afen, call Ashu back right now and ask him what happened!"

Ning Guorong, with a serious expression, urged Bi Guifen again.

Bi Guifen was still in a daze when she finally came to her senses and quickly picked up the phone to call Ning Bishu.

There were a few beeps on the other end of the phone.

Ning Bishu answered the phone casually and asked, "What is it?"

Bi Guifen said anxiously, "Ah Shu, something terrible has happened! Your girlfriend has stormed off! Come back and check on her!"

"What? My girlfriend got angry and left? What are you talking about?" Ning Bishu was completely confused.

"That's the lawyer!" Bi Guifen didn't even remember Mu Shanming's name, she just kept saying, "A lot of people came to our house, my great-uncle and great-aunt from the countryside came too, are you coming back for lunch?"

Before long, the conversation had strayed from the main point.

"I'm not going." Ning Bishu said succinctly and hung up the phone.

Bi Guifen turned to look at Ning Guorong.

Ning Guorong frowned. "Sigh~ Never mind! Let the young people handle their own affairs! Hey, Uncle, Third Uncle, Little Uncle, it's too messy here, let's go to my house, don't delay their move."

I asked Qihui to get everyone some good wine at noon to celebrate! And I have some good news for you all: my husband, Qian, got a job transfer. He was just transferred a few days ago to be the deputy director of the district's investment promotion bureau. I'll call him over in a bit; let's have a few drinks!

"Ouch!"

"Really?"

"A deputy director? Ah Qian is quite promising!!"

Everyone was in an uproar.

They then pulled along Bi Guifen and Ning Bishu's grandmother, who were still in a daze.

They all vanished in the blink of an eye...
