<strong>Chapter 726: Chapter 0728: You Have Something on Your Mind</strong>


    Mr. Chu probably doesn’t have hatred for him, but Yuwen Kangli despises Mr. Chu, and the reasons are too numerous to count.


    The dinner was not ruined by the sudden disruption from Yuwen Kangli; Elder Jian, delighted by the good wine, indulged in drinking and kept discussing the wine with Lin Dong.


    Lin Dong had to visit a venue in the afternoon, so he only lightly sipped each time, which displeased Elder Jian when he noticed.


    “I say, Lin Dong, now that you know martial arts, why are you still afraid of getting drunk?” Elder Jian asked, puzzled.


    Lin Dong expressed his confusion, “What does knowing martial arts have to do with getting drunk?”


    Looking at Lin Dong’s bewildered expression, Elder Jian knew he didn’t understand the benefits of knowing martial arts and solemnly patted Lin Dong’s shoulder, saying: “Ancient martial arts isn’t just for self-defense or just for strengthening the body, do you see?”


    Elder Jian continued, lifting a hand and shaking it in front of Lin Dong, “Look at my hand.”


    Just as Lin Dong was more puzzled, he saw Elder Jian’s hand miraculously change, with white vapor slowly seeping from his fingertips, which impressed and surprised him.


    “Elder Jian, how did you do that?” Lin Dong asked curiously, amazed to learn that learning ancient martial arts had such wonderful uses.


    Elder Jian looked at the amazed expression on his face and chuckled, “Your master’s teaching is subpar; he didn’t tell you about this. Why not be my disciple instead, and I’ll teach you all the uses of mastering ancient martial arts.”


    Only Mu Bingtong among those present didn’t understand what Elder Jian referred to as ancient martial arts, and she looked at Mr. Chu, wanting to ask.


    But Mr. Chu told her, “I know what you want to ask, and it’s a bitplicated. I’ll exin it to youter.”


    Initially, it seemed unimportant, but after Mr. Chu’s words, she felt there was something moreplex within.


    She always found Mr. Chu to be a very mysterious person, full of secrets. However, since he didn’t voluntarily tell her, it indicated she shouldn’t know, so she refrained from asking.


    But now, she realized there was much she didn’t know, suddenly discovering she didn’t understand Mr. Chu at all.


    Everyone at the meal seemed lost in their thoughts.


    Sister Liu Yue sat quietly on the side, silently eating, without saying a word.


    She carefully concealed her feelings for Mr. Chu; not to mention Mr. Chu had a fiancée, just the presence of Miss Man Sha meant she didn’t stand a chance.


    She knew her feelings for Mr. Chu were born out of admiration, looking up to his seemingly omnipotent stature.


    And she was mere dust settled into the soil.


    Sister Liu Yue sat there eating quietly; Mu Bingtong noticed she hadn’t spoken to anyone and didn’t seem very cheerful. Turning to her, Mu Bingtong said, “Sister Liu Yue, do these dishes suit your tastes?”


    Sister Liu Yue started, not expecting Mu Bingtong to ask this and felt a bit nervous. She quickly nodded, “Yes, they taste fine; thank you, Lady Mu, for your concern.”


    Mu Bingtong smiled, her voice carrying a trace of shyness, “Lin Dong already calls me sister-inw, and you’re Lin Dong’s sister, so shouldn’t you call me something other than Lady Mu? It feels rather distant calling me that.”


    Liu Yue awkwardly smiled, “Then I’ll also call you sister-inw like Lin Dong does, hello sister-inw.”


    The address of sister-inw made Liu Yue’s heart sour, but she pretended as if nothing had happened, finished speaking, then lowered her head and started sipping the soup.


    “Did Lady Mue to the Capital City for Mr. Chu’s opening event?” Nangong Man Sha asked curiously.


    Mu Bingtong nodded slightly, “Yes, and also no.”


    Chu Ge nced sideways, looking at her puzzled, “You have other matters to attend to in the Capital City?”


    Mu Bingtong hummed, “Previously, Ge Group had snatched many of Jinxiu’s orders. Later, I don’t know what happened to Ge Group, but suddenly it fell. Although Ge Group has fallen, those old customers of Jinxiu are still unwilling to work with Jinxiu. There must be some misunderstandings that I am not aware of, so I want to visit personally.


    I originally wanted to tell you in advance, it’s just that your gambling stone field was opening, so I thought of giving you a surprise.”


    The result almost turned the surprise into a scare.


    Of course, Mu Bingtong didn’t say this.


    Chu Ge understood; he was not particrly familiar with Jinxiu Group’s business, but he knew that Jinxiu Group had business expansions in the Capital City.


    Initially, Ge Group had suppressed Jinxiu Group everywhere, especially the business orders in the Capital City were all snatched away. Now, with the Nangong Family’s restructuring and Shao Gang’s imprisonment, Ge Group had fallen drastically.


    For Nangong Man Sha, managing business contacts in the Capital City was a piece of cake.


    So when she heard Mu Bingtong mention wanting to discuss business, she couldn’t help but volunteer enthusiastically: “Lady Mu, since you are unfamiliar with the ce life in the Capital City, how about I apany you during your business meetings? With Ye Xu, it will yield twice the result with half the effort.”


    What Nangong Man Sha said was true; with her reputation alone, most family businesses couldn’t refuse her.


    If she apanied Mu Bingtong, Mu Bingtong would indeed save a lot of effort.


    Since knowing about Nangong Man Sha’s health condition, Mu Bingtong’s demeanor towards her had be especially tender. She somewhat embarrassedly said to Nangong Man Sha, “Miss Man Sha, thank you for your kindness, but wouldn’t that be too troubling for you?”


    She was already grateful for Nangong Man Sha’s help with Mr. Chu’s matters; if her own matters troubled her further, it seemed a bit too much.


    Nangong Man Sha smiled and shook her head, “It’s alright, I don’t have much going on recently. Since you’re new to the Capital City, it’s perfect for me to apany you around. Now that I think about it, it’s been a long time since Ist went shopping.”


    Shopping is a woman’s natural inclination.


    Indeed, once Nangong Man Sha mentioned shopping, an excited expression appeared on Mu Bingtong’s face. It had been a long time since shest went shopping. Hearing that there were many shopping malls in the Capital City with the most fashionable and affordable clothes of the season, she was intrigued.


    So when Nangong Man Sha brought up this suggestion, the two of them quickly hit it off and Mu Bingtong readily agreed.


    Chu Ge watched the two women start chatting enthusiastically about shopping, then looked to the other side where Lin Dong and Jian Chunqiu were discussing ancient martial arts while drinking, and suddenly felt like he was somewhat redundant.


    Chu Ge smiled helplessly, nced over, and saw Liu Yue quietly sitting there, just like him, without much to do.


    Chu Ge smiled and asked, “Sister Liu Yue, are you troubled by something?”
