Chapter 488: Chapter 22: Tycoon System (22)

The Zhong Family’s status is slightly weaker than the Li Family’s.

But they are also a prominent family.

Originally, there were some opinions about the leader of the third generation of the Zhong Family finding an orphan as a girlfriend, but Mu Yun turned out to be impressive.

Nowadays, Mu Yun’s reputation has spread.

She is considered a gold medal screenwriter in the industry.

While the Zhong Family still looks down on Mu Yun somewhat, since their child likes her and Mu Yun has money and isn’t after their money, they haven’t said much.

Now, seeing Mu Yun holding Zhong Min’s arm, some younger members of the Zhong Family curled their lips slightly, feeling a bit sour inside.

A cousin of Zhong Min suddenly said loudly, “Grandpa, look, big brother is back and he brought his girlfriend. I heard Miss Mu is very talented, I wonder what birthday gift she will give you?”

Old Sir Zhong smiled with narrowed eyes, “Silly girl, we’re family, what gifts?”

“Oh grandpa, it’s her first visit as a girl, it would be quite rude not to bring a gift!”

Mu Yun gave a faint smile to the girl but knew well that they probably wanted to see her make a fool of herself, just that she wasn’t foolish enough to not be prepared.

During this period, her points have been substantial.

Although she couldn’t exchange them for extraordinary medicine, she could get excellent external items.

Mu Yun also had a grandfather and knew the likes of elderly people.

She happily stepped forward, “Grandfather, wishing you blessings as vast as the Eastern Seas and longevity like the Southern Mountains.”

Old Sir Zhong stroked his beard and laughed, “Good, good, good.”

“Sister-in-law, what gift did you prepare for grandpa?”

Mu Yun took out a box from her handbag. The box was antique-looking, appearing quite valuable.

“Grandpa, this is a gift Xiao Yun specially prepared; I hope you will like it.”

Old Sir Zhong cheerfully received the wooden box and opened it under the gaze of everyone.

Inside, there was a small peach of longevity, looking incredibly lifelike.

Zhong Min’s cousin scoffed, “I thought it was something special, turns out it’s a handmade peach of longevity, with such a nice box…”

Before the girl could finish, the old man had already taken the peach out and raised it up, under the light, it emitted a gentle glow.

Clearly, this was not the flour-made peach she mocked.

“This is a real treasure; is it naturally formed? There’s no trace of carving at all.”

“This really is a mascot for the old sir.”

Everyone started praising, those with an eye for value began to compliment him.

Old Sir Zhong smiled so much that his eyes narrowed to slits.

At his age, he just wanted to live peacefully.

Such an auspicious treasure was exactly to his liking.

Zhong Min’s cousin’s face turned sour but she muttered, “Who knows if big brother helped her find it.”

Old Sir Zhong suddenly said, “Second son, has Xiao Lu taken her medicine? Take her out to take her medicine, lest she disturb our guests.”

Zhong Lu looked gloomy and a bit unwilling, but also didn’t dare to make a fuss on such a day, lest her father be unforgiving.

This birthday banquet could be said to have been very successful.

After all, the old man is aged, so he left after eating.

However, the Zhong Family’s feast was just beginning.

At the banquet, Mu Yun saw a familiar face, it was Chairman Li who had also attended.

When Li Shuning saw Mu Yun, she smiled.

Seeing Li Shuning’s friendly smile, Mu Yun was a bit puzzled but returned the smile.

She wasn’t very familiar with this chairman, but the Li Family was formidable in her eyes, so having good relationships was beneficial.

Later, led by Zhong Min, Mu Yun met many Zhong Family relatives.

Time unknowingly passed.

As it approached midnight, many people were preparing to leave.

Today’s birthday banquet was not just a birthday banquet; it was also because a product from the Zhong Family was about to launch and other families came to explore potential cooperation opportunities.

Mu Yun saw that the task was completed during the day, so naturally, she felt it was inappropriate to leave the Zhong Family early.

Anyway, she also told the system that the reward could be collected when she had time.

Midnight was approaching.

Thinking about the reward she was about to receive, Mu Yun’s smile became even more radiant.

However, as it was about to strike midnight, the system’s panicked voice suddenly sounded, “Host, leave here quickly, the task has not been completed, the earning task is incomplete, leave quickly, the task is about to fail.”

Mu Yun froze, what was going on?

She didn’t have time to think about what happened, and with a touch of panic on her face, she quickly said to Zhong Min, “Min, I need to go to the restroom.”

Actually, Mu Yun knew that it would be best to leave the Zhong Family, but with only two minutes left, she simply couldn’t make it, and if someone saw her change on the way, it would be over.

Just as Mu Yun was about to leave, a figure suddenly blocked her path.

Mu Yun raised her head in terror and saw Chairman Li smiling and standing before her.

“Miss Mu, it’s a pleasure to meet you today.” Li Shuning raised her glass of red wine, toasting Mu Yun.

Mu Yun was anxious, and with a somewhat unpleasant look said, “Chairman Li, it’s been a pleasure, excuse me, I need to go to the restroom.”

Mu Yun hurriedly headed to the restroom direction.

However, the more anxious you are, the more likely accidents happen.

Zhong Lu suddenly blocked her way, pulling her and yelling angrily, “It’s all your fault, fawning over grandpa caused me to be punished by him, you vixen.”

Mu Yun didn’t bother to respond, wanting to leave but was held tightly, and she was anxious as there was only one minute left.

Mu Yun gritted her teeth, knowing it was over.

There were still over twenty people in the hall, if she had an issue, it would surely spread like wildfire the next day.

Mu Yun suddenly covered her face, hugged herself, and crouched down, then screamed, “Ah, what did you do to me, it hurts, Min, save me.”

Mu Yun’s scream immediately attracted everyone’s attention, and all eyes turned towards them, only to see Zhong Lu stupidly tugging at Mu Yun’s clothes, tearing the dress, as if the chest fabric had ripped, while Mu Yun squatted there, covering her face.

Zhong Min saw this, his eyes turned red, he immediately rushed over, took off his suit jacket, and wrapped it around Mu Yun.

Mu Yun plunged herself entirely into Zhong Min’s arms.

And at this moment, it was exactly midnight.

Fortunately, her dress was long, hiding her feet, and her upper body was covered by Zhong Min’s jacket, so outsiders couldn’t see Mu Yun’s situation.
