Power and wealth bring fragrance

Wei Yuan sped all the way to the restaurant.

After parking the car, Wei Yuan strode into the restaurant.

The car that had been following him also stopped, and the two young men got out and followed him into the restaurant, finding a seat near the door.

The ruthless young man glanced at Wei Yuan out of the corner of his eye while making a phone call.

"Yes, we've been following him, and we're at...the restaurant now."

The deep voice on the phone spoke.

"Stay close to him."

"The longer we wait, the more things might go wrong. We'll kill him after he finishes eating and goes to a secluded place."

"After you're done, just take a boat out to sea, and someone will meet you there."

"Go away and lay low for a few months, then come back when things calm down."

"The resettlement allowance has been deposited into your overseas account, and I will arrange for someone to take care of your families, so you can focus on your work."

"Okay, thank you, boss."

The ruthless young man hung up the phone, exchanged a glance with the short-haired young man, and ordered some random things.

As the two people sat up, a dark object flickered faintly.

Wei Yuan walked into the restaurant, looked around, and found Mu Wanning, who was waving at him. He went straight over to her.

"Wei Yuan, over here."

Wei Yuan walked over, glanced at it, and his expression immediately became extremely strange.

His arrival seems to be ill-timed.

Today, Mu Wanning was completely different from her simple style at the clinic. She was wearing a fitted light blue cheongsam that perfectly accentuated her slender figure. Her hair was styled into an elegant updo, revealing her long, fair neck.

The long, slender legs revealed by the slit in the lower half of the cheongsam were covered in flesh-colored stockings, making them appear even more flawless and elegant.

The middle-aged man sitting opposite Mu Wanning was also dressed in a suit. His gold watch on his wrist and the cuffs of his shirt showed that he was quite wealthy and had the air of a successful businessman.

The two of them were dressed so well, and there was also the exquisite food and freshly opened red wine on the table.

It was less of a business meeting and more like a blind date.

Wei Yuan felt somewhat embarrassed, but now that he was already here, he couldn't leave or stay.

Moreover, for some reason, when the thought that his master's wife might be going on a blind date came to mind, Wei Yuan felt a vague sense of awkwardness and... reluctance.

Before he could think about it, Mu Wanning's words had already drawn his attention back.

"Wei Yuan, please have a seat."

Mu Wanning gestured for Wei Yuan to sit down, then spoke apologetically to the middle-aged man sitting opposite her.

"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, this is my apprentice. He has something urgent to discuss with me."

The middle-aged man, referred to as General Manager Yang, waved his hand magnanimously and nodded to Wei Yuan with a smile.

"It's okay."

"Since he's your apprentice, he's practically my nephew too. What's the trouble?"

"Come on, young man, sit down and eat with us."

When Wei Yuan heard the middle-aged man say that he was a nephew, he frowned slightly, said nothing, nodded and sat down without greeting him.

Mu Wanning didn't care, but when President Yang saw that Wei Yuan didn't even greet him, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he still looked at Wei Yuan with a smile.

"Young man, what urgent matter brings you to your master so urgently?"

"It wasn't easy for me to arrange a meeting with your master, and now you've ruined it all, haha."

President Yang thought his joke was quite witty, but as soon as he said it, both Wei Yuan and Mu Wanning couldn't help but frown.

After inheriting the legacy of the Di Ting, Wei Yuan also inherited the Di Ting divine beast's instinct to discern the good and evil in people's hearts.

Mr. Yang's words seemed humorous, but the underlying blame was not hidden at all.

Even if he was on a blind date with Mu Wanning, he had no right or status to question Mu Wanning's apprentice, Wei Yuan.

This guy thinks way too highly of himself.

Although Mu Wanning did not have Wei Yuan's innate ability to discern people's hearts, she possessed the wisdom honed by time, and she also understood President Yang's questioning intent, as well as the implied ambiguity.

What does it mean that it's not easy to ask her out for dinner?

Mr. Yang was completely unaware that his words had upset Wei Yuan and Mu Wanning, and he was still smiling as he looked at Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan ignored him and looked at Mu Wanning instead.

This is Mu Wanning's guest, and he shouldn't overstep his bounds.

Mu Wanning frowned, staring intently at President Yang, her voice tinged with displeasure.

"Wei Yuan must have something urgent to tell me, so I won't trouble you, Mr. Yang."

"Mr. Yang, you said you wanted to meet me to discuss purchasing medicinal herbs in bulk from me, but we've been here for half an hour and you haven't mentioned it yet. Perhaps we could discuss it another day?"

As she spoke, Mu Wanning reached for her bag and prepared to get up.

Upon hearing Mu Wanning's words, General Manager Yang's expression changed instantly, and his heart skipped a beat.

This is bad!

Having been in the business world for a long time, he immediately realized he had said the wrong thing. He reacted quickly, standing up and apologizing.

"I'm sorry, I was a bit too hasty. I was thinking we should sit down and chat first before we talk, but I didn't expect you to misunderstand."

However, Mu Wanning's expression had already turned cold. She shook her head without saying a word, picked up her bag, and was about to leave.

Wei Yuan, on the other hand, suddenly realized the truth.

He misunderstood.

Were the two not on a blind date, but discussing a business partnership?

Wei Yuan's mood inexplicably improved, and a smile appeared on his face. He stood up with Mu Wanning, ready to leave.

Seeing that Mu Wanning showed no respect, President Yang's expression turned ugly. He stared at Mu Wanning with a dark look in his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.

"Wanning, there's no need for this."

"Even if you don't care about me, you should at least consider Anze and Muxia's feelings, right?"

"They're getting married soon, and we've known each other for so long, don't we even have this much affection for each other?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan stopped in his tracks and frowned.

Anze and Muxia?

This name sounds familiar.

Then Wei Yuan remembered that when he met Mu Xia at the hospital, she had a rather arrogant male classmate who was quite hostile towards him, but he ended up slapping her in the face and teaching him a lesson.

That guy is the son of the man in front of me?

Mu Wanning's face had completely darkened, and she looked at President Yang with an icy expression.

"mutual affection?"

"Besides the normal purchase of medicinal herbs, do we do anything like this?"

"Have you misunderstood something again?"

"Besides, Yang Anze and Mu Xia are getting married soon, how come I didn't know about this?"

"If that's true, then I'll have to give Mu Xia a good talking to."

Upon hearing Mu Wanning's words, President Yang's face darkened completely, looking so grim it was almost as if water was about to drip from it.

President Yang stared intently at Mu Wanning, all traces of his refined demeanor vanishing, replaced by rage.

"After all this time of showing me kindness, don't you understand my feelings?"

"In the end, all I got in return was a misunderstanding from you?"

"If I didn't have feelings for you, why would I buy medicinal herbs from your little clinic when I could buy them anywhere else?"

"If you agree, we can get married, Anze and Muxia will be together, and we'll be a family. Wouldn't that be great?"

"Why are you so stubborn?"
