Miss Mu Is Still Not Worthy

Xu Mu followed behind Mu Qingying until they left the vegetable market.

He saw Mu Qingying pushing an electric scooter, getting on it, and preparing to leave.

He quickened his pace and blocked her path.

Mu Qingying looked at Xu Mu in front of her, her eyes slightly red. "Young Master Xu, please let me go."

"Your father is sick?"

Xu Mu's expression was calm, paying no mind to her plea. "Since you're bankrupt, do you have enough for his medical bills?"

Hearing this, Mu Qingying felt as if she had grasped a lifeline.

She parked the scooter, walked up to Xu Mu, and the tears swirling in her eyes finally fell.

"Young Master Xu, my father is currently staying at my place. We don't have money for his treatment, so the hospital discharged him a few days ago."

Crying, Mu Qingying grabbed Xu Mu's arm. "I'm begging you. As long as you can help me, I'll agree to anything."

Xu Mu looked at this woman, recalling the arrogant person she used to be in his memories. They were like two completely different people.

"Where is your house? Show the way."

Xu Mu took the initiative to get on the electric scooter. Since it was an electric bicycle rather than a moped, the back seat was too small. It would be far too cramped for a tall guy like him, who was 1.85 meters, to sit in the back.

Mu Qingying wiped her tears with her sleeve and immediately sat behind Xu Mu. Pointing forward, she said, "Just go straight down this road."

Xu Mu nodded and twisted the throttle. There was a red light at the intersection, so he immediately squeezed the brakes.

Due to inertia, his back was suddenly hit by two massive impacts.

He had long known that Mu Qingying had an impressive figure, but such an attack crashing into his back was still beyond his imagination.

Mu Qingying also felt a bit embarrassed. She leaned her body back, afraid of bumping into Xu Mu again.

"Even if you're bankrupt, you should still be able to get some money, right? You're obviously so beautiful."

Xu Mu looked at the traffic light in the distance.

"I... I did meet some people who wanted to give me money, but they..."

As Mu Qingying spoke of this, the anger in her heart overflowed again. "They wanted me to sleep with them and be their mistress. A scholar prefers death to humiliation. My father would never allow me to do that either."

"Then why are you accepting my help? Aren't you afraid I'm just like them? That I also have inappropriate thoughts about you?"

"I'm not afraid..."

Mu Qingying couldn't quite figure out her own feelings, but she just knew that Xu Mu wouldn't do that.

Even if he really made such a demand, Mu Qingying felt that she would agree.

...

Under Mu Qingying's directions, they arrived at an old and rundown residential area.

It was a six-story residential building with no elevator. Currently, they lived on the top floor.

According to Mu Qingying, she had temporarily rented this apartment after selling her car.

Mu Qingying took out her keys and opened the door. The first thing that came into view was Mu Yuansheng sitting on the sofa.

He had long lost his former vigor. At this moment, he looked old and frail, staring blankly at the TV.

"Dad, I'm back."

Seeing her father like this, Mu Qingying's nose felt sour.

Just as her father had said before, she didn't need to care about him anymore; he was just waiting to die now.

Mu Yuansheng turned his head to look at Mu Qingying, and then his gaze fell on Xu Mu.

"Hello, Uncle."

Xu Mu greeted him and walked in.

"Xu Mu, the Xu family is at the height of its power and influence right now."

Mu Yuansheng raised a trembling hand, gesturing for Xu Mu to sit down.

Xu Mu sat beside Mu Yuansheng and said calmly, "It's all just luck."

"Even a hidden family like the Dai family has become your Xu family's property. The current Xu family should be considered a hidden family now, right?"

Although Mu Yuansheng's hands and feet were constantly trembling and not very agile.

His speech was no different from a normal person's.

"You could say that. Otherwise, Ye Chen, as an ancient martial artist, would have taken me down long ago."

Xu Mu leaned back on the sofa and shrugged.

Hearing the name Ye Chen, both Mu Yuansheng and Mu Qingying, who was standing further away, had a change in their expressions.

"What? Did you come here specifically to laugh at us?"

Mu Yuansheng said faintly, "Then you've really succeeded. We have nothing now. The friends who used to call me brother have all shut their doors on us, and even Su Weiye won't answer my calls."

Xu Mu recalled that in the beginning, it was him and Mu Qingying competing for the Su family's orders.

And the Su family had almost internally decided on the Mu family, as the two had a very good relationship.

But now, things were completely different.

The Su family had clung to the Xu family's thigh. Now, they had developed not only in Jiang City but also in Yang City.

Originally just a famous local enterprise, they had now broken into the top ten of the entire Jiangbei region.

People always prioritize their own interests. The Su family definitely wouldn't offend the current Xu family for the sake of an old friend like the Mu family.

"Uncle, I'm not that bored. My purpose in coming here is very simple."

Xu Mu glanced at Mu Yuansheng.

"For my daughter?"

Mu Yuansheng looked at Mu Qingying, who was looking at her phone in the distance.

As a father, he naturally knew that Xu Mu had been pestering his daughter relentlessly in the past.

However, he hadn't paid much attention to it at the time. He knew Mu Qingying well; she would never like that so-called prodigal son.

Unexpectedly, they were all kept in the dark. The most talented person in the Xu family was Xu Mu right in front of them.

"That's right."

Xu Mu nodded, glancing at Mu Qingying to the side.

Mu Qingying's body trembled. What was meant to come would eventually come.

She could also roughly guess Xu Mu's purpose this time.

After all, he had been pestering her relentlessly before; how could he just change on a dime?

To put it bluntly, he still liked her and wanted to possess her.

However, even though Mu Qingying thought of this, she still brought Xu Mu here.

She remembered how Xu Mu used to send her flowers rain or shine, yet she had looked down on him, thinking he was just an ignorant and incompetent second-generation rich kid.

But later, when Xu Mu displayed his many abilities, she realized that she had been blind.

"Boy, you've just become a hidden family, and you're already thinking about having three wives and four concubines?"

Mu Yuansheng snorted coldly. "Let me tell you, stop dreaming. I will absolutely not agree to let my daughter be a mistress."

Hearing this, Mu Qingying also lowered her head without saying a word.

"You misunderstood me. I came for her, but not to marry her. To put it harshly, Miss Mu isn't qualified to be my woman yet."

Xu Mu leaned against the sofa. "The people around me are all ancient martial artists, while Miss Mu is just an ordinary person."

Hearing this, not only Mu Yuansheng, but Mu Qingying also clenched her fists tightly.

"Then what are you here for?"

Mu Yuansheng asked.

"My sister was chosen by a sect. At your level, Uncle, you might not know what a sect is. Let me explain. Under normal circumstances, the patriarchs of hidden families are the trash kicked out by the sects. Only the outstanding ones can stay."

Xu Mu explained to Mu Yuansheng.

Mu Yuansheng's eyes were filled with shock. If this was true, exactly what kind of existence was the Xu family?

"My sister left, and my old man has recently been in a semi-retired state, so I've now become the CEO."

Xu Mu continued, "But I'm also quite busy. I came this time to have Miss Mu become my assistant and take on the role of Vice President of the Xu Group."

Hearing this, Mu Qingying's eyes instantly lit up.
