Full-Time Magister: Forced Marriage, I Choose Mu Ningxue

Chapter 24 Are they here to humiliate us? A fierce confrontation at the banquet!

Lu Yuan owns five percent of the Mu family's shares, so he can be considered someone who has a say.

Lu Yuan introduced, "The one in the lead is Mu Nian, the head of the Mu family. The others are all of my generation. They are in charge of various affairs of the Mu family."

"The one on the far left is called Mu You..."

Lu Yuan listened as Lu Hai introduced them one by one, and at the same time, he memorized them.

Lu Hai sighed, "I don't know what kind of luck the Mu family had. Not long ago, they had a project that was about to lose a lot of money, but they were lucky enough to get investment from someone, which saved them from a hopeless situation."

The Mu family supports Lu Mengyun, and Lu Hai naturally hopes that the Mu family will be too preoccupied with their own affairs.

In this way, Lu Mengyun lost the Mu family's support, and they would be less of a threat.

Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback, having gleaned a considerable amount of information from Lu Hai.

"Could it be that the system invested in the Mu family, which is why they came back to life?" Lu Yuan wondered to himself.

He stopped thinking about it and followed Lu Hai into the restaurant, where they arrived at the banquet hall.

The place was very large, decorated in bright red, and everyone present was dressed in formal attire, looking quite presentable.

Lu Yuan was different from the others; he wore ordinary clothes, which set him apart.

After following Lu Hai for a while, Lu Hai went to discuss business, so Lu Yuan wandered around alone.

At this moment, Ai Tutu quietly came up behind Lu Yuan, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Didn't you say you had left the Lu family? Why are you still with them?"

"I have indeed left the Lu family. Our relationship was merely a transaction," Lu Yuan said.

Ai Tutu disliked roundabout conversations, so she quickly changed the subject, saying, "It's really boring here."

Lu Yuan remained silent, but he saw Mu Nujiao glance at him before turning her head away.

Only then did he truly notice their attire; they were both dressed in elegant gowns.

Especially the dress Ai Tutu is wearing now, her amazing figure is almost overflowing.

Because it was too big, she had to hold onto the collar every time she walked, afraid that it would suddenly fall down.

Mu Nujiao was dressed very elegantly, like a flower. She didn't need to compete for attention; she was the focus of the entire room just by standing there.

As a result, many family members present looked at her, eager to approach her and befriend her.

Shanghai has four top-tier families: the Lu family, the Mu family, the Bai family, and the Dongfang family.

They represent the top families in Shanghai, possessing immense power and influence.

Mu Nujiao is the pride of the Mu family, how could they not come to curry favor with her?

A sharp, sarcastic voice suddenly rang out, "Oh, isn't this Lu Yuan? Weren't you kicked out of the Lu family? How dare you show your face here?"

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw two familiar faces.

It was Mu Rong and Lu Jing.

This area is where the younger generation chats, so there are no elders present.

"Lu Jing, you look a bit green on the head!" Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"You!!" Lu Jing pointed at Lu Yuan, furious, but he couldn't think of a way to refute him.

"Lu Yuan, you made me lose face back then, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!" Mu Rong said angrily like a shrew.

Lu Yuan looked at Mu Rong, who was so heavily pregnant, and wondered what she was thinking.

"Others are watching the show, I advise you not to cause trouble, or I won't hesitate to expose everything about you!" Lu Yuan threatened.

"you!!"

Mu Rong and Lu Jing originally intended to humiliate Lu Yuan, but they never expected that they would be the ones humiliated in the end.

"Lu Yuan, it seems you have a big scoop on you!" Ai Tutu asked curiously.

Mu Rong became agitated and shouted angrily at Ai Tutu, "Who are you? What business is it of yours what we're saying?"

"What business is it of yours if I talk to Lu Yuan?"

Ai Tutu stood tall in front of Mu Rong without flinching, and compared to Mu Rong, she was definitely more well-endowed.

Mu Rong looked at Ai Tutu's proud peaks, then looked down at her own vast plains and gritted her teeth in anger.

Unable to swallow her anger, she suddenly raised her arm and slapped Ai Tutu across the face.

Ai Tutu never expected that Mu Rong would lose her temper and actually hit her.

She was naturally furious; if these things were made public, she might become a laughingstock.

Mu Nujiao didn't expect Mu Rong to get so angry, and by the time she tried to stop her, it was too late.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan reacted quickly, grabbing Ai Tutu's slender waist and pulling her back into his arms.

Mu Rong fanned the air and almost tripped.

When Lu Jing saw Mu Rong almost fall, he didn't react at all, and even thought it would be best if she fell.

However, Mu Rong was annoyed that she hadn't hit Ai Tutu, and seeing that Lu Jing was unmoved, she went over and slapped him.

*Smack!*

The slap was loud; Lu Jing never expected it to turn out this way, and now he had completely lost face.

Mu Rong didn't want any more people around, so she turned and fled. Lu Jing, after being slapped, also left.

At this moment, Ai Tutu hadn't come to her senses yet, but she enjoyed watching such melodramatic scenes.

"Bunny." Mu Nujiao coughed twice, bringing Ai Tutu back to her senses.

When Ai Tutu came to her senses, she saw that Lu Yuan was still holding her, and two blushes appeared on her face.

"You can let go now..."

Lu Yuan nodded and released his hand.

"Thank you for earlier."

"You're welcome. This is all because of me," Lu Yuan said.

"But I still really want to eat this melon. Tell me how it goes when you get back," Ai Tutu said with a smile.

Lu Yuan shook his head. "If I tell her, I'm afraid Mu Rong will kill me."

"Then we can leave that aside and talk about your situation. I'm very curious about what happened between you two," Ai Tutu said expectantly.

Helpless, Lu Yuan then found a place to sit down and recounted the cause of the matter.

After a long while, Ai Tutu suddenly realized and said, "So that's how you left the Lu family."

Lu Yuan nodded.

Ai Tutu supported her, saying, "I think it's right for you to withdraw. The Lu family treated you like this, so it's understandable that you withdrew."

Lu Yuan nodded again. Just then, a young man in a suit and tie suddenly walked towards them.

"This person is alright looking."

"This is Lu Yilin from the Lu family," Mu Nujiao said, looking at the handsome young man at the head of the group.

"Lu Yilin?" Ai Tutu asked, puzzled.

"He is a genius of the Lu family, the most talented person in the Lu family. He is currently at the main campus of Mingzhu Academy," Mu Nujiao introduced.

Ai Tutu asked, puzzled, "What's he doing here?"

"He's probably here to see me." Lu Yuan understood why Lu Yilin had come over.

However, another person walked over, namely Lu Zhiyong's youngest son, Lu Zhenghe.

After Lu Yilin walked over, he only glanced at Lu Yuan before turning his gaze to Mu Nujiao.

Lu Zhenghe laughed and said, "Cousin, you actually went to Uncle's place. Are you planning to be our breakthrough point?"
