At this moment, Murong Xintian and Fang Haiying came over. Since they were the host, if their guests had problems, they must come over and help them to solve it.
They became curious when they found that it was Murong Yunxi who had conflicts with others.
"Xiao Xi? What happened?"
Seeing that Murong Xintian had come for the matter, everyone became silent. Although Murong Xintian ranked the fifth in Murong Family and didn"t have much say, he was no ordinary person to the outsiders. It could be said that everyone from the Murong Family was a top figure.
Murong Yunxi glanced at Murong Xintian and indifferently told him the whole thing. And of course, she accused the woman of asking for double compensation as she had said last time.
Hearing the words, Murong Xintian darkened his face. He turned to look at the man and said, "w.a.n.g Xinyin, your wife really goes too far in bullying others."
w.a.n.g Xinyin looked at Murong Xintian with some guilty conscience, and stammered, "Yes, yes, I should tell my wife the right things to do. It was all her fault."
w.a.n.g Xinyin"s wife suddenly went nuts. "Why is it my fault? I"m innocent. It was they who gave me 20 million yuan."
Murong Yunxi said with a chuckle, "First of all, n.o.body would think himself too rich to give 10 more million yuan to others for no reason? Second, the check is in your hands. You have received it, haven"t you? It has already explained everything. Right?"
On hearing Murong Yunxi"s words, even w.a.n.g Xinyin"s wife felt that it seemed to be that way. The woman could not find any word to deny it.
Gu Yuxuan just stood aside and did not say a word, watching Murong Yunxi deal with the matter. The outsiders all thought that she had been wronged.
Murong Ye, Murong Xu, and Gong Yu also came to them. Seeing that Murong Yunxi and Gu Yuxuan were the main people involved in the matter, they also became furious at that moment.
Murong Ye came over to Murong Yunxi, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xi, what"s wrong?"
Murong Yunxi told the story again. When a thing was said for the first time, people might believe it; when it was said for the second time, people would be more convinced; the third time, people would firmly believe it.
After hearing that, Murong Ye immediately looked at the w.a.n.g Xinyin and his wife with icy eyes, which almost made w.a.n.g Xinyin kneel down under the glare. Having been in the business field for so many years, he was always afraid of Murong Ye. Now, seeing the legendary terrifying eyes, he suddenly felt that he would not end up well. So he really wanted to kneel down before Murong Ye.
However, w.a.n.g Xinyin"s wife didn"t know that. Although she was scared by Murong Ye"s expression, she still braced herself to defend. "It was not like this. They wronged me."
Murong Ye simply ignored w.a.n.g Xinyin"s wife, because he completely disdained to speak to people like her. He coldly said to w.a.n.g Xinyin, "Handle your family affairs by yourself. But you must give me a satisfactory account of this matter."
Murong Ye deliberately hardened the tone on the word "satisfactory", which made w.a.n.g Xinyin shudder and keep nodding his head.
Then he quickly took his wife away. When he just turned around, he suddenly remembered something and took the cheque from her wife"s hand, and then turned to hand it to Murong Yunxi.
Murong Yunxi didn"t even look at the cheque or take it. w.a.n.g Xinyin"s hand was frozen in the air with the check. Then he quickly put the "hot potato" into Gu Yuxuan"s hand and then turned to take his wife to leave.
Seeing w.a.n.g Xinyin"s leaving, the onlookers dispersed as well, but the doubts in their minds were getting greater and greater. They thought that Yun Muxi had to be an extraordinary person since Murong Xintian and Murong Ye were both protecting her. Everyone saw it, so, they took a deep look at this extremely beautiful girl and remembered her in their mind.
When the people went away, Murong Xintian immediately smiled and said to Murong Yunxi, "Xiao Xi, sorry to bother you. w.a.n.g Xinyin wasn"t invited by us but the Jing Family. I did not expect to have you involved in this kind of thing."
Murong Yunxi said with a smile, "Uncle, it doesn"t matter. It was our fault to make trouble on this occasion and make all the people unpleasant."
Murong Xintian chuckled aloud. "Not at all. It wasn"t your fault. It was they who improperly provoked you. How can we Murong Family be bullied by others at our own place?"
After saying this, he glanced at everyone and said, "You young people should have fun with your peers, and leaving us old guys together."
After Murong Xintian left, Murong Ye rubbed Murong Yunxi"s hair, and said in a pampering tone, "How unlucky you are! Why are you always troubled and bullied? Are you born with that?"
Murong Yunxi argued, "I was not bullied. It was obvious that I bullied her back!"
Gu Yuxuan could not help but ask, "Xiao Xi, this 20-million-yuan check..."
Murong Yunxi turned to look at Murong Ye and said, "My Brother gave it to me. Actually, he has given me the check and an unlimited card for a long time. I just haven"t used it. I was so angry today and suddenly remembered this thing, so I took it out and used it."
Gu Yuxuan glanced at Murong Ye and looked at the check in her hand. She continued to ask, "You... The 20 million yuan is obviously..."
Murong Yunxi showed a casual smile and said, "She only had herself to blame for looking down upon us! And it was she who tried to wrong us first. I was fought back and let her taste the feeling of being wronged as well."
Gu Yuxuan looked at Murong Yunxi with amazement and said, "Oh, you are getting more and more scheming and tactical. How clever you were to trap her in! And she even couldn"t rebut. People just fully believed in us, not her."
Hearing that, Murong Ye, Gong Yu, and Murong Xu couldn"t help but look at Murong Yunxi, with their eyes full of appreciation and praise. They were obviously defending Murong Yunxi.
Murong Yunxi took the 20-million-yuan check, handed it to Murong Ye and said, "Brother, take it back since it belongs to you."
Murong Ye couldn"t help but kiddingly asked, "Xiao Xi, if w.a.n.g Xinyin"s wife really took away the check, what would you do?"
Murong Yunxi mysteriously smiled. "I knew she couldn"t take it away in the end!"
Hearing the words, those who stood around confusedly looked at her. "Oh? Why?"
Murong Yunxi said with a chuckle, "My Brother loves me so much and will never make me suffer. w.a.n.g Xinyin couldn"t offend my brother for only 20 million yuan, because he would even lose more if he did so. Even if he took the check, I estimated that he did not have the courage to spend it. So I expected him to end up not daring to take the 20 million yuan."
Everyone couldn"t help but tut at the words. Gu Yuxuan looked at Murong Yunxi with a look of admiration and said, "Xiao Xi, I haven"t found out before that you are actually so smart and scheming inside."
Murong Yunxi rolled her eyes at Gu Yuxuan and said, "Am I wise or just scheming? As I see it, "wise" is praise while "scheming" is a criticism."
Gu Yuxuan said with a smile, "Of course, both words are praise. Xiao Xi, you"re so great! I love you so much!"
Murong Yunxi looked at Gu Yuxuan with a look of disdain, turned to Murong Xu and said, "Cousin, please take this admirer of mine away. Although I admit that I am indeed beautiful and clever, I am also a normal woman. I"m not interested in her."
Murong Xu speechlessly chuckled. Gu Yuxuan"s was frustrated and let go of Murong Yunxi and said, "I am also a normal girl. Okay?"
Murong Ye suddenly said, "Xiao Xi, take the check, please. Though your plan of strutting in borrowed plumes was a little villain-like, I am very glad. The money I have given you belongs to you."
Murong Yunxi unpleasantly said, "You called me a villain? I am not a villain."
Murong Ye looked at Murong Yunxi and finally burst out a hearty laugh. "Yes, my sister isn"t a villain but an incredibly adorable little girl."
All the people laughed together and were really happy. The joyful atmosphere cleared out the unpleasant atmosphere just now.
On the way back in the evening, Murong Ye couldn"t help but ask, "Xiao Xi, are you interested in taking part in the family business?"
Hearing that, Murong Yunxi frowned and pondered.
Murong Ye thought that Murong Yunxi had no interest in it, so he immediately said, "If you are not interested, you can do whatever you want. Seeing how you handle things just now, I felt it very suitable for you to join in our family business. You may be able to accomplish something great as being so smart."
Murong Yunxi indifferently asked, "Brother, if I join you, don"t you afraid of others saying that I am robbing your position as the homeowner of Murong Family?"
Murong Ye said with a chuckle, "Xiao Xi, to tell you the truth, I am not interested in being the homeowner of Murong Family. I used to be the homeowner because I had no other choice. I am the only son of our father, and today"s Murong Family isn"t the original one. I know how much father has paid for building today"s Murong Family and how difficult it was for him. So I was willing to take the burden for him and help him continue our business. If you are really interested in the business, I will not fight with you for it. I prefer to let you run the family business and enjoy my leisure. So Xiao Xi, the battle for status in many other families will definitely not appear in our family, at least not between you and me."
Murong Yunxi nodded, and said after hesitation, "Brother, I am willing to try, but not for grabbing the position with you. I just want to achieve something, and only through that, can I make myself stronger and have the ability to protect myself and the people I love. I don"t want to be protected all the time."
Murong Ye slightly sighed. "Xiao Xi, I don"t want you to have a hard life. I want you to enjoy the life you want."
"Brother, I know it. Actually, I don"t know what I really want at present. I started writing novels just to take care of Niannian when I was at school, so I made the choice. After I did it, I found that I liked this kind of life, but it is not what I want most, so I don"t know if I want to run our family business. But I still want to give it a try."
"Okay, well, as long as you want to do it, I will let you do."
