At the mention of the Mu and Gu families, Mu Yazhe and Gu Jinglian were names that struck fear and awe!

  These two men were like emperors. In the capital, they could be said to be existences that could rival each other. Although there had been some grudges between the two families in the previous generation, in their generation, these two men maintained the etiquette of minding their own business. Perhaps they had some sort of mutual appreciation.

  Through what had happened now, it could be said that the Mu and Gu families had come to a truce!

  As Gu Jinglian walked down the disembarkation stairs, Mu Yazhe approached him and was the first to speak!

  “I heard that a joyous occasion is at hand for Master Gu?” Earlier on, he had learned that Gu Jinglian was getting married.

  Actually, Gu Jinglian and Chu He did not really care about the wedding. However, Uncle Fu and Baby Chu had been egging them on, with Linxi adding fuel to the fire, insisting for a wedding event to be held. Gu Jinglian gave it second thoughts. After all, it had been many years since the Gu family had a lively affair. Hence, he eventually agreed.

  Even though he had initially shown disdain for a wedding event, he did not resist when it was time to organize it, in fact, he personally got involved in the preparation work.

  Once, he was instructing Uncle Fu in the decoration of the nuptial chamber when Chu He walked in on them. It was utterly embarrassing for Gu Jinglian! However, Chu He was thick-skinned and was even gloating. She thought Gu Jinglian had been forced into it by Uncle Fu. This got Gu Jinglian even angrier. However, no matter how angry he was, he did a perfect job of coordinating.

  Gu Jinglian was a little surprised that Mu Yazhe initiated conversation on this matter, but he did not show it. Instead, he raised his eyes and glanced at the other man before calmly asking, “Since Master Mu has raised this topic, could it be you’re planning a big gift?”


  Mu Yazhe smiled. “That will depend on whether Master Gu invites me.”


  Gu Jinglian snorted and said arrogantly, “Whether I invite you or not depends on how sincere your gift is.”


  Mu Yazhe appeared calm. “There is definitely sincerity. No matter what, we must maintain our etiquette.”


  Gu Jinglian finally smiled when he heard this. Mu Yazhe was surprised to see him smile!

  In the past, he rarely saw Gu Jinglian, and seeing Gu Jinglian smile was even rarer. The latter was a rather aloof man with a sharp edge. Even Mu Yazhe was not taken seriously by him. However, for some reason, Mu Yazhe felt that the man’s sharpness had now diminished somewhat.

  “The 1st of next month.”


  “The 1st of next month, which is in two weeks.” Mu Yazhe added, “I’ll be there.”


  Gu Jinglian glanced at him but did not say anything as his subordinates came up to him. He turned around to give the other man another look before walking away!

  Mu Yazhe laughed to himself and walked toward the parking lot.

  Along the way home, Little Yichen chattered nonstop to his parents about his thrilling exploits at sea. Yun Shishi frowned at what she heard.

  “Pirates?! Are there really pirates?” Yun Shishi had grown up in a peaceful era, and she had only seen and heard about pirates on television. She had never heard of such ferocious pirates in real life. To think that Little Yichen had run into them.

  “Yes! Of course, the pirates in Somalia are known for being ruthless! If not for Lisa, I wouldn’t have been able to deal with them alone!”


  Lisa immediately said, “Hey, don’t push it all to me. You were much more ruthless than I

  was.”


  “As long as all’s fine now…”
