Rumors about him abounded. Many said that he had a nominal fiancée, but he was disjointed with her. Some speculated that he had a different sexual preference or a sexual problem. These, though, were merely hearsays!
Another rumor had it that his fiancée was infertile, and the birth mother of Mu Yichen was someone else.
Grandmaster Mu was plagued with worry by these rumors for years!
For one thing, Grandmaster Mu was adamant on Mu Yazhe having progeny to continue the family lineage. Mu Yazhe was the sole inheritor of the family, and it was high time for him to continue the legacy.
He was reluctant to marry, however, so Mu Wanrou, his nominal fiancée, had become the laughingstock of many.
In any case, Grandmaster Mu had had enough of the gossips and rumors about the Mu family.
Six years ago, he was no less busy finding a surrogate mother to bear Mu Yazhe’s progeny. From international celebrities to respectable socialites, he looked at countless candidates, but, despite his best efforts, was unable to find anyone to his liking.
His criteria were harsher than the ancient emperor’s choice of concubine.
The men exchanged glances and seemed to be guessing the same thing.
It was He Lingxiang’s turn to be speechless this time. Who is this woman?
At this moment, Yun Shishi came to recognize a face among these men. It was the face of the capital’s mayor. She had seen his face in a few newspapers before. Realizing that these men were no average folks, she deliberated over their intention in coming here. Just then, a few men’s loud shuffling footsteps were heard together with their disdainful shouting and swearing.
Apparently, He Lingxiang’s lackey had called for backup. These assistants had rushed over as soon as they received the call.
He Lingxiang started trembling when he saw his men.
He threw the producer a look. The producer, of course, knew the reason for these men’s arrival. Looking at the current situation, he was unsure if this was a good idea.
The backups swaggered in and were stunned to see the impressive lineup. They were ignorant and lacked the ability to read the situation properly, though. “Director He, who are these people? Why are they crowding here?”
Before He Lingxiang could reply, one of them, a young man, flapped his hand at the men in suits and tried to chase them away. “Get lost; get lost! Don’t crowd in here! You are making a nuisance to the director at work here! Are you lot looking for trouble?!”
Seeing the men in suits remaining unflustered and He Lingxiang continuing to sheepishly stand at the side, the young man hooked He Lingxiang’s shoulder with a smile. “Director He, who are they? Are these chaps giving you trouble?” He pointed to Xiao Xue first. When he saw He Lingxiang’s face turning grim, he brazenly stuck his finger in the direction of the apathetic-looking man and Yun Shishi. “Or is it this girl who is causing you trouble?”
Sshhh…
He Lingxiang sucked in a breath of cold air as he contemplated about running away. The few assistants realized his intention to run away and were annoyed. “Director He, why can’t you say something?”
