Chapter 746 The Relationship Between the Tang Family and the Mu Family

Gu Ning was amused, but didn’t show it on her face. Instead, she acted in concert with the woman and seemed scared. “Really? I think you’re right; I can’t rent the store. I haven’t given him money yet after all.”

Hearing that, the woman was satisfied. “Good girl! I don’t want to see you, a lovely girl, ruined by those hoodlums, so you better stay away from Du Laifeng. He doesn’t care about others’ lives!”

After that, Gu Ning thanked her and left.

When Gu Ning was waiting for a taxi, she called Chen Darong and told him to deliver a batch of real antiques along with handicrafts to City B.

Handicrafts produced by Xiangyun Antique-store were very beautiful because Xiangyun Antique-store had its own production room. It wasn’t big, but it could provide enough goods for Xiangyun Antique-store.

However, Gu Ning decided to expand the production room of Xiangyun Antique-store, and she assigned this task to Chen Darong. They would sell handicrafts produced by Xiangyun Antique-store around the country.

Xiangyun Antique-store was highly profitable anyway, so they had enough money to achieve that goal.

In fact, Chen Darong also had the same idea for a long time, but didn’t have a good chance, Since Gu Ning told him to be in charge of it now, he would, of course, work hard to make it happen.

Gu Ning also told him to guarantee high quality while increasing quantity, because the handicrafts weren’t cheap either.

After a while, Gu Ning successfully stopped a taxi, and got in it at once. She didn’t leave for the Tang family’s house, but went to visit Tang Haifeng in the hospital. She decided to talk with him about the Mu family.

After finishing gambling with Qi Tianlin, Zuo Jiangkui and He Siyin went back to HK.

Their plan was to take back 2% of Qi Tianlin’s shares of the He family’s casino according to the market price if Qi Tianlin lost the game.

The He family’s casino accounted for 6% of the gambling market in HK.

Qi Tianlin alone owned 5% shares of the He family’s casino, which were worth hundreds of millions of yuan according to the market price.

It was impossible for them to take all of his shares back, because Qi Tianlin wouldn’t agree, unless they used force. And the He family wasn’t willing to ruin their relationship with the Kirin Gang yet.

To their surprise, Gu Ning showed up out of the blue and they even lost 1% share during this trip, so now Qi Tianlin owned 6% shares of the He family’s casino. It didn’t have a big impact on the He family’s business, but they were just reluctant to accept the failure.

In the hospital ward, Jiang Lihua was chatting with Tang Haifeng, and two bodyguards were standing at the door.

When Gu Ning arrived, Jiang Lihua went to sit in the living room, because Gu Ning wanted to talk with Tang Haifeng in private.

“Grandpa, how’s the relationship with the Tang family and the Mu family?” Gu Ning asked.

Hearing that, Tang Haifeng cocked his eyebrow. “Well, not very good, nor bad. We’ve maintained a good relationship in business for more than a decade.” In other words, the two families weren’t close except in business.

“What? Is there anything wrong with the Mu family?” Tang Haifeng asked.

“I went to the antique street today, and ran into Mu Wenqi while he was in a secret meeting with Tang Deming, but I failed to hear their conversation clearly,” Gu Ning said with a serious face.

Hearing that, Tang Haifeng was mad. Mu Wenqi must be assisting Tang Deming to scheme against the Tang family!

“Grandpa, could you please tell me the story about the Mu family, especially Mu Xuxin?” Gu Ning asked.

Tang Haifeng didn’t know why Gu Ning was interested in Mu Xuxin, but he still said, “Mu Xuxin was born in a poor countryside, but he was a very outstanding young man back then, and won Miss Zhu’s heart. The Zhu family didn’t approve of their marriage at the beginning, because there was a huge gap between them, but Miss Zhu was unwilling to leave Mu Xuxin. After a while, she got pregnant, and the Zhu family had to agree on their marriage. Twenty years ago, the Zhu family wasn’t very rich, but its business grew fast with Mu Xuxin’s assistance. Therefore, the Zhu family gradually accepted him and even let him take over its family business.”

“Around seven or eight years ago, Miss Zhu suddenly found out that Mu Xuxin already had a son before their marriage, and had a fierce argument with him. Many people then found out about that secret, but Miss Zhu was still in love with Mu Xuxin and didn’t divorce him. That’s all I know.”

After hearing that, Gu Ning thought that it was very likely that Mu Xuxin had abandoned his ex-wife for a rich heiress.

“Well, there is a subordinate in my company who closely resembles Mu Xuxin, and they even share the same surname. When I mentioned Mu Xuxin’s name in a talk with him, he had an unusual reaction. I think they are probably related to each other,” Gu Ning said.

“Is it possible that he is the son of Mu Xuxin and his ex-wife?” Tang Haifeng said.

“I already told him to investigate the Mu family,” Gu Ning said.

Tang Haifeng was struck dumb for a second, then said, “Mu Xuxin could be his father!”

“I have always had a feeling that he hates Mu Xuxin,” Gu Ning said.

“No matter what, I just hope that you can be alert to the possibility that the Mu family might be working with Tang Deming. If the person who works for me is going to take revenge on the Mu family, I won’t stop him.” Gu Ning put it clearly.

The Tang family had a long-standing relationship with the Mu family in business after all, so the Tang family would help the Mu family if the Mu family encountered any trouble. Gu Ning told Tang Haifeng her attitude right now, in case Tang Haifeng couldn’t distinguish their allies from enemies.

“I understand, and I’ll side with you,” Tang Haifeng said.

Even if the Mu family were in trouble, it wasn’t the Tang family’s duty to help them out. Gu Ning, however, was a member of the Tang family. Tang Haifeng would obviously choose Gu Ning over the Mu family.

Since Gu Ning had already arranged someone to do the investigation, Tang Haifeng would just wait for the result.
