Chapter 142: Collusion

“Don’t you have to handle this first?” Mu Sheng felt Li Hanchen was incredibly composed. Someone had already demolished his place, but he was still in the mood to eat.

“It’s okay.” Li Hanchen started the engine.

Li Ming sat on the couch at the Li residence looking at the photos his assistant had given him. “Was Li Hanchen out?”

“That’s right. Only the maid was there when our men got there.”

“That’s too bad.” Li Ming tossed the photos aside. “I didn’t manage to see him cry when he lost his home.”

“Li Hanchen will have to live under the bridge with his entire family without our support,” said his assistant as a look of contempt appeared on his face. “In a few days, he will come back kneeling and begging for help.”

Li Ming sneered, “This is what happens to people who get in my way.”

The butler suddenly came over. “Young Master, Miss Mu is here to see you.”

Li Ming glanced outside with a slightly tender look on his face. “What are you waiting for? Show her in now. She has a weak constitution and shouldn’t stand outside in the wind.”

Before long, Mu Xiao walked into the living room frailly. She smiled in joy when she saw Li Ming. “Hello.”

“Why did you come over on your own?” Li Ming stood up. “You should have called me so that I could pick you up.”

Mu Xiao coughed a couple of times as she blushed shyly. “I wanted to see you.”

Li Ming smiled as he pulled Mu Xiao’s hand and whispered, “Did you miss me?”

“Cut it out.” Mu Xiao lowered her head shyly. “Mom sent me over. She is about to hold her birthday banquet, so she asked me to invite you over.”

The Mu family used to be on par with the Li family. Ever since Mu Sheng’s biological mother passed away, they lost the support of their in-laws. All these years, their business had been gradually going downhill. In comparison, the Li family kept rising through the ranks, so the Li family was now completely out of the Mu’s family’s league.

Thankfully, the Mu family had one final killing move, Mu Xiao. The Mu family was able to get a lot of help from the Li family since Li Ming was dating her.

If Li Ming was willing to attend Mu Xiao’s mother’s birthday banquet, it was a clear signal that the Li family thought highly of the Mu family.

“Of course I will attend your mother’s birthday party.” Li Ming always treated Mu Xiao well. Even though Li Ming was keenly aware of the Mu family’s intentions, he was happy to go on account of Mu Xiao.

“There is something else I need to tell you.” Mu Xiao’s face turned crimson as she looked at Li Ming. “Mom wants to know when we are holding our engagement party.”

Although both their families had no objection to their engagement in private, they had not held an official engagement party yet. If an engagement party could be publicly held, the Mu family could finally set their heart at ease.

Li Ming hesitated for an instant, but he didn’t show it on his face. He squeezed Mu Xiao’s hand as he said, “Let’s talk about this after your mother’s birthday party.”

“Sure.” Mu Xiao nodded. “Ming, I want to invite my older sister to my mother’s birthday banquet. Now that she has married into the Li family for a long time, she has yet to come home and visit my parents, so I’m sure she misses them. I want to invite her home to hang out. My parents miss her as well.”

The moment Mu Xiao brought up Mu Sheng, Li Ming felt triggered. “Why did you invite her? She is just an unfilial daughter.”

“That’s not true.” Mu Xiao shook her head with her eyes teary. “She is just angry with me. I want her to come back so that I can apologize personally. I hope she will forgive me. After all, she is my only sister, so I don’t want to lose her.”
