Is This Really the Descendant of a Hidden Aristocratic Family

Xu Mu was just wondering why Fang Chu had called Lu Xueyao over when he had nothing better to do.

Now he understood the reason.

"Fang Chu, what do you mean by that?"

Before Xu Mu could say anything, Lu Xueyao spoke up first. "Aren't you married too? You said before that if my grandma passed away, you'd be willing to take care of me. But now when it comes to Brother Xu Mu, it's not right of you, is it?"

[Destiny Power - 5]

Fang Chu's face looked a bit ugly. This Lu Xueyao was becoming more and more presumptuous.

In the future, he would definitely make this girl regret it and make her kneel in front of him.

Originally, Fang Chu had planned to set a trap for Xu Mu, but unexpectedly, with Lu Xueyao's interference, he had fallen into it himself.

Li Yun and Zhao Yingying looked at each other, and their faces also looked a bit strange.

Especially Li Yun. She had previously thought that Fang Chu was very attentive to her daughter, and that kind of concern had gone beyond that of ordinary friends.

Later, she found out that Fang Chu was already married.

After what Lu Xueyao said, it turned out that besides her daughter, Fang Chu had also been so attentive to other women.

On the contrary, Xu Mu was different. When she had said she wanted to entrust Zhao Yingying to him, Xu Mu had directly stated that he was married. This time, he had also very boldly admitted that Lu Xueyao was his younger sister.

He hadn't hidden things like Fang Chu did.

"Since we're all here, let's have a meal."

Li Yun turned on the switch under the hot pot and smiled at the people in front of her.

"Auntie, I'll treat you to this hot pot this time. After all, there's one more person with me."

Xu Mu patted Lu Xueyao on the back.

"How can that be? We can afford a hot pot."

Li Yun waved her hand with a smile. "Everyone, start eating. Don't be polite."

Xu Mu nodded slightly. He looked at Lu Xueyao beside him. "Don't you thank Auntie? You came just in time today."

"Auntie, thank you."

Lu Xueyao said to Li Yun.

Fang Chu picked up his chopsticks. Sitting there, he felt like an extra person.

Why did these people in front of him look like a family?

He decided to find out about Xu Mu's identity first. "Xu Mu, I still don't know what you do for a living?"

Li Yun and Zhao Yingying also looked up and glanced at Xu Mu.

They were also very curious.

"I'm helping out with my family's business," Xu Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, the people in front of him understood. Helping out with the family's business meant that his family had their own business.

No wonder Xu Mu was so rich.

"What do you do?" Xu Mu looked at Fang Chu and asked in return.

"Uh..."

Fang Chu's face flushed. He was even ashamed of his current situation.

So he told a lie. "I used to do some small business, but later it went bankrupt, and now I'm unemployed at home."

Apart from Xu Mu, who knew Fang Chu's detailed information, the others didn't know.

They could really tell that Fang Chu didn't have much money, so they believed him.

This meal wasn't as lively as other dinners.

However, the three women present had an even better impression of Xu Mu.

To sum it up, Xu Mu was a person who was clearly very rich but still kept a low profile.

Li Yun had once worked as a company employee and had dined with some rich people.

As soon as those people sat down, they started boasting about their glorious deeds.

But Xu Mu had lent them more than a hundred thousand and given them medicine worth a million, yet he had never mentioned it.

Li Yun also sighed. It was a pity that Xu Mu had gotten married so early.

"I'll go to the restroom," Zhao Yingying said with an apologetic smile to Xu Mu and then got up and left.

"I'll go too."

Lu Xueyao followed behind Zhao Yingying and planned to have a chat with her.

Xu Mu poured himself another glass of drink. Just then, they suddenly heard shouting outside.

It seemed that Lu Xueyao's voice was among them.

Hearing this, Xu Mu and Fang Chu immediately got up and walked over.

At the toilet door not far away, a drunk middle - aged man with a crew cut pointed at Lu Xueyao and shouted angrily, "You little bitch, how dare you scold me?"

"Who asked you to be so handsy!"

Lu Xueyao was holding Zhao Yingying's hand at this time and took a few steps back nervously.

When she saw Xu Mu coming, she obviously relaxed.

"What's going on?"

Xu Mu walked over and asked.

Zhao Yingying was still in a state of shock at this time.

Lu Xueyao beside her explained, "Just now, that man put his arm on Zhao Yingying's shoulder and said he didn't know the way and asked her to take him to the toilet."

Li Yun also walked over at this time. Hearing what Lu Xueyao said, she hurriedly pulled Zhao Yingying to her side.

Seeing this, Fang Chu curled his lips slightly.

It was finally his turn to show off. Although he had gone mad and couldn't use his qi, his fighting skills were still good enough to deal with a few people.

"Get out of here right now!"

Fang Chu strode over and pointed at the crew - cut man and shouted, "Just because you've had a few drinks, do you think you're invincible?"

"Stinky brat! I don't hit women, but what the hell are you being so arrogant for?"

The middle - aged man staggered and raised his fist, aiming at Fang Chu.

Fang Chu looked at him disdainfully. He grabbed the middle - aged man's wrist and punched him.

With a thud, the middle - aged man's nose bled, and he fell to the ground on the spot.

Fang Chu calmly turned around, looking like a peerless master. "Yingying, are you okay? Scumbags like this should just lie on the ground."

After saying this, he was even surprised at how well he had put on an act.

"I... I'm okay," Zhao Yingying shook her head.

"Brother Lang! Brother Lang is in trouble!"

Just then, a strong man rushed out from another hot pot private room.

Hearing the sound, about twenty people rushed out from the three private rooms around.

When these people saw the crew - cut middle - aged man lying on the ground, they immediately went over to help him.

One of the thin, dark - skinned men pointed at Fang Chu and growled, "Was it you?"

"I..."

Fang Chu was a bit stunned. In his current state, dealing with a few people was indeed no problem for him.

But dealing with so many people, he couldn't do it.

Unable to use his qi, his strength was no different from an ordinary person's, especially since he was still injured.

If the space here was large, he could have fought them one by one by moving around.

But this was a hot pot restaurant, and the space was narrow.

Fang Chu looked at Xu Mu's side. First of all, the three women there definitely couldn't help.

As for Xu Mu...

Before Fang Chu could think, these people had already rushed forward.

Fang Chu punched out several times and knocked down a few more, but the fallen men all grabbed his legs, restricting his movement.

Several other strong men grabbed his arms.

Now Fang Chu was like a fish on the chopping block.

Bang, bang, bang...

In the blink of an eye, several people's fists landed on Fang Chu's face.

"Stop hitting him. I'm calling the police!"

Li Yun said in a hurry when she saw this scene.

There were three women and one Xu Mu here. How could they be a match for these people?

"You're all in this together, right? Leave the women behind to apologize to Brother Lang, and the men lie down!"

The thin man turned to look at Xu Mu and the others.

Hearing the order, five or six strong men all had lewd smiles on their faces.

"Let's get out of here quickly," Xu Mu said to the people around him quickly.

Li Yun grabbed Zhao Yingying and immediately went downstairs. As a mother, she definitely had to protect her daughter first.

Lu Xueyao also followed closely behind.

"Do you still think you can escape!"

The skinny man rushed forward in big strides and threw a punch at Xu Mu's chin.

But Xu Mu caught his fist with one hand.

Bang!

Xu Mu delivered a knee strike to the skinny man's chest. The man flew out on the spot and knocked down all the people who were chasing after him.

Seeing the skinny man being knocked down, the crowd in the distance all let go of Fang Chu and rushed towards Xu Mu.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Chu fled downstairs via the stairs on the other side.

"Is he just running away like this? Isn't he going to fight with me?"

Xu Mu shouted at Fang Chu, who was fleeing in a hurry. What a descendant of a hermit family.

Fang Chu didn't give any response. He wished that Xu Mu would also get beaten up.

Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining.

His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
