Chapter 43
“Are you——?” Young Master Chen had been feeling angry these days, all because of Chu Mubei’s nonsense. It seemed that the Chu family had recently become a new rich man, and seeing Chu Muxi had sparked some thoughts in him. He didn’t mind adding fuel to the flames.
Unexpectedly, stealing the chicken failed to end up losing the rice. As a result, he was punished by the elders in the family and was locked in the house for several days without being allowed to come out.
“My name is Jiang Xing. I was the one who brought Chu Muxi to the party that day,” Jiang Xing said flatteringly.
Young Master Chen sneered, “So?”
“I just want to ask, when will Chu Mubei come out?”
Young Master Chen sneered, “Then you should ask the Chu family when they will let him out. Not me.”
If it hadn’t been for the strict supervision of his family these days, and he finally found a chance to relax, he would have thrown this person out long ago.
“No, no, I actually want to say, um, Young Master Chen, do you still want to see Chu Muxi again? I saw that you seemed to be interested in him that day -” Jiang Xing couldn’t help it.
Chu Mubei designed Chu Muxi and he had been relying on Chu Mubei to show off his power to the Jiang family. But now something happened to Chu Mubei, he was kicked out by the Jiang family.
Now that Chu Muxi was treating him like this, the brothers of the Jiang family, who had disliked him for a long time, naturally added insult to injury. If Jiang Xing hadn’t been able to live in the dormitory of the Imperial University, he would have had to sleep on the street.
Young Master Chen narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, asking the bodyguard to let go of him.
Jiang Xing rubbed his hands and said flatteringly: “Young Master Chen, I know everything. Chu Muxi is indeed good-looking, and I promise, he has never been with anyone else. You will definitely be satisfied. As long as you promise to give me a hand, I will definitely be -”
“Give a hand?” Young Master Chen raised his eyebrows, and his expression suddenly changed in the next second. He kicked Jiang Xing hard in the abdomen, and said, “You have nothing to negotiate with me!”
Jiang Xing was kicked half a meter away, and Young Master Chen’s kick was stuck in his abdomen. He hugged his belly and huddled there, with blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth. He was shaking constantly, and the people around looked at him like a dog.
Young Master Chen kicked him and felt much better. A woman who followed him climbed up weakly and said with a sweet smile, “Okay, Young Master Chen, don’t be angry with people who have nothing to do with you. Look at him. He looks like a drowned dog. It’s not worth it.”
Young Master Chen pinched her nose gently and said, “You are the only one who has a sweet mouth and can talk. If you serve me well tonight, you will be rewarded.”
The two of them walked into the club with a smile. The onlookers also left, leaving Jiang Xing lying on the ground, with tears and snot mixed with blood flowing all over his face, but no one paid attention to him.
‘Chu Muxi, I hate you! If it weren’t for you, how could I be as miserable as I am now! I won’t make it easy for you!’
.
Chu Muxi sneezed, and Phil said funnily: “Do you have a cold?”
“Maybe someone missed me.” Chu Muxi said and sneezed again.
Phil laughed heartily, “Someone is scolding you, Young Master Chu. It seems that you have offended a lot of people.”
Chu Muxi shook the wine glass in his hand and said nonchalantly: “Someone hating me means that someone loves me. Why, are you envious?”
Phil shrugged, “I’m not envious. It’s scary to think about being loved and hated by others.”
This time it was Chu Muxi’s turn to laugh, “How do you know they are the same person? Why can’t some people love me and some hate me?” He said with a wink.
“I find you are becoming more and more interesting now, Muxi. Oh, is it okay if I call you Muxi?” Phil asked with a smile.
“Anything is fine.” Chu Muxi put down the empty wine glass, “Okay, let’s stop chatting and get down to business.”
“I know you invited me to some coming-of-age ceremony dinner just to coax me, so what else is there? Friend, you just want me to do things for you.” Phil complained, seemingly truthfully.
Chu Muxi smiled, “Why, you said we were good friends just now, do you regret it?”
“How can I, am I that kind of person?” Phil leaned on the sofa and said lazily: “Tell me, who do you want to trick this time?”
“Have I tricked anyone?” Chu Muxi snorted.
“Don’t act coquettishly to me. It won’t work. Although you look very delicate and lovely.”
Phil looked at Chu Muxi up and down and commented: “Well, you are so cute. It would be absolutely fine if you were elected as the most beautiful person in the empire.”
Chu Muxi snorted, “Don’t drag me. They say fat people have potential. When you lose weight, maybe you can also run for election.”
“I can’t help you. I can’t help you.” Phil raised his hands in surrender and said seriously: “Tell me, what do you want me to do for you? Let’s say it first, I can’t do much, after all our friendship still young. Even if you are my good friend.”
“I know, don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer.” Chu Muxi gave him a mysterious smile, “I want to discuss something with you—”
Phil’s eyes opened wider as he listened. After a moment, he stared at Chu Musi in disbelief for a long time.
Until Chu Muxi waved his hand in front of him, “What are you thinking about? Are you interested in joining us?”
“Chu Muxi, I really wonder if you are a different person.” Phil suddenly said.
Chu Muxi was stunned for a moment, then asked: “What do you mean?”
“To be honest, don’t be angry. Since we are all good friends, I actually asked about some of your past affairs in private.” Phil said solemnly tell the truth.
Chu Muxi snorted, “Then?”
“Aren’t you angry?” Phil asked strangely.
“Why should I be angry?” Chu Muxi said nonchalantly, “Isn’t this a normal thing?”
“So -” Phil thought of something and his expression changed, “Have you also investigated me?”
His identity couldn’t be investigated so easily. Even if Chu Muxi was the young master of the Chu family and had the Shen family behind him, it was impossible.
Compared with the royal family, the Chu family and the Shen family were far behind, basically not even close to each other.
Furthermore, Chu Muxi was so good, how could he investigate him for nothing? They had only known each other for a short time, who knew whether they would become friends or enemies?
Chu Muxi smiled mysteriously, “Sorry Phil, Lu Junzhi and I have a pretty good relationship.”
Chu Muxi thought about it, and Phil would know about this one day. Instead of making him wonder why he would investigate someone he had never met for no apparent reason in the future, it would be easier to come up with a reason now.
And Lu Junzhi was the best cover.
The Marshal of the Empire, the number one person in the military, the God of War, the son of Her Royal Highness Princess Nafu, and Phil’s cousin, it would be more reasonable to know Phil’s identity from him.
“What is your relationship with Marshal Lu?” Sure enough, Phil immediately asked.
Chu Muxi’s smile gradually deepened, and he said something in an understatement that shocked Phil instantly.
“It’s nothing. He just gave me a dark blue starry sky stone as a gift today.”
