Backyard gazebo.
Su Qingyao was holding a set of ivory-white jade tea sets, warming the tea, washing the tea, and brewing the tea. Her series of movements were as smooth as flowing water and looked pleasing to the eye.
Mu Zhenhong looked at the white jade tea set on the table, his eyes slightly fixed. Have the siblings of the Su family really become rich?
With his keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that the teacups and teapots were all made of top-grade jade. This tea set alone was priceless! Others wouldn't even have enough time to collect such precious jade, yet now they were using it to drink tea. For a moment, Mu Zhenhong was extremely puzzled.
Could it be that the story of Su Qingyao's company being in crisis was fake? Or were these two people simply trying to cover up their own problems?
Unlike Mu Zhenhong, Mu Xiyu and Xue Wanyun's attention was all focused on Su Qingyao.
At this moment, Su Qingyao's skin was as white as snow, and her whole body exuded an ethereal temperament, making it difficult to look away.
Su Qingyao seemed not to feel the gazes of the two people, and poured tea for everyone with a smile.
"Auntie, come and try my cooking. This is 'spiritual tea' brewed with spiritual water. It can strengthen your body and beautify your complexion."
Xue Wanyun smiled and took a sip. She immediately felt relaxed and refreshed. A warm current flowed through her body, sweeping away all the fatigue in her body. Her eyes suddenly brightened and she smiled, "It really is good tea!"
Mu Xiyu and Mu Zhenhong looked at each other, took a sip subconsciously, and suddenly there was a hint of shock in their eyes. When they looked at Su Bai again, there was a hint of strangeness in their eyes.
After a brief chat, Xue Wanyun sighed secretly when she saw that Mu Zhenhong was still silent. She looked at Su Bai and said, "Xiaobai, the reason we came here this time is because Zhenhong needs your help---"
Su Bai looked at Mu Zhenhong, whose expression was a little unnatural, and smiled faintly, saying, "Aunt, please don't be polite with me. If you have any problems, just tell me directly. If I can help, I will definitely help."
Mu Zhenhong took a deep breath and an awkward smile appeared on his face. "Xiaobai, I was wrong about what happened before. I hope you and Qingyao don't take it to heart. I'm here to apologize to you!"
"Don't say that—" Su Bai smiled faintly, "Let the past be the past. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
"Okay! In that case, I won't hide it anymore. After all, we are all family---"
Su Bai smiled faintly and said nothing.
Family? You never treated me like one before.
However, for Xue Wanyun's sake, he had to help Mu Zhenhong if he could.
"Look, there's going to be some personnel changes at the city government soon, and I'd like to apply for a position, but the competition is quite fierce, so I'm not too sure."
"I think, Xiaobai, you know Mr. Tang. If you can get him to say a word, then I can take another step forward, and there will be absolutely no problem. So no matter what - you must help me with this!" Mu Zhenhong looked at Su Bai seriously and said in a deep voice.
Su Bai frowned suddenly when he heard this.
When Mu Zhenhong saw this, his heart sank suddenly. Could it be that this kid was unwilling?
Sure enough, under his suspicious gaze, Su Bai's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and finally he shook his head and said: "Sorry, I can't help you with this!"
"Huh?" Mu Zhenhong suddenly became anxious. "Xiaobai, what do you mean? You have such a good relationship with Mr. Tang, it's just a matter of a word---"
Xue Wanyun also sighed and said, "Xiaobai, if possible, please say something for Tiansheng!"
Su Bai shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly: "Aunt, you may not know that Mr. Tang really doesn't have time to take care of these trivial matters now---"
"I'm speaking to you this way. The Tang family is facing an unprecedented enemy. It's a matter of life and death. I'm afraid Elder Tang doesn't have time to take care of other things."
Xue Wanyun nodded subconsciously upon hearing this and said, "So that's how it is! The Tang family is so wealthy and powerful, so it's normal for them to have some enemies."
Mu Zhenhong had a gloomy face and said nothing.
Mu Xiyu put down the teacup, sneered, and said, "Su Bai, if you don't want to help my dad, just say so. Why make up such a lame excuse?"
"That's the Tang family, a well-known family in the entire Jiangnan Province. Who can force them to this point? Are you really treating us like three-year-old children?"
Su Bai frowned slightly, glanced at her, and said, "Whether you believe it or not, the fact is this."
Mu Xiyu sneered and said calmly, "If that's the case, then tell me, which master could be the enemy of the Tang family? And even force the Tang family to the brink of life and death?"
Su Bai frowned and said, "It seems that he is from overseas, and he is the mortal enemy of the Tang family. I am not sure about the details."
"Humph!" Mu Xiyu sneered: "Your ability to make up stories is getting stronger and stronger---"
Su Qingyao glanced at her coldly and said, "Xiyu, Xiaobai didn't make up the story. I can testify that the Tang family is indeed in crisis."
Mu Xiyu raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, but she saw that Mu Zhenhong, who had been silent all the time, had an extremely gloomy face.
"enough!"
"The Tang family is in crisis, and it's happening in Jiangzhou City. I can't hide it from you! Why are you trying to put me off with this excuse?" Mu Zhenhong glanced coldly at Su Bai and the others, then suddenly stood up and shouted angrily, "Since Young Master Su and Miss Su are unwilling to help, just pretend I've never been here! Wanyun, Xiyu, let's go!"
Xue Wanyun's expression changed, and she finally sighed and said to Su Bai and the others, "Xiaobai, Qingyao, Zhenhong has such a bad temper. You must not be angry."
Su Bai shook his head and smiled, saying, "Aunt, you are too kind."
After a pause, he turned to look at Mu Zhenhong and said, "The world is big, and there are some things you may not know. Jiangzhou has been in turmoil recently. I suggest you wait and see for a while, and then seek progress when the time is right. This may be safer."
Mu Zhenhong gave him a cold look and said, "It's not your turn as a young boy to point fingers at my affairs!"
After saying that, he didn't care about Xue Wanyun and strode away with Mu Xiyu.
Xue Wanyun looked at Su Bai and the others, wanting to say something, but sighed and hurriedly followed.
When Su Bai saw this, a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes. This Mu Zhenhong was really too arrogant.
"This Mu Zhenhong is really too much. He is so arrogant even when asking for help. How could my aunt marry such a person!" Su Qingyao was so angry that her pretty face turned cold.
"Sister, it's not worth getting angry with this kind of person." Su Bai smiled and took a sip of tea, saying, "Tsk tsk, sister, your tea art is really getting better and better. The tea is mellow and fragrant, it's simply wonderful!"
Su Qingyao rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "It's already this late, and you're still talking nonsense?"
"Tomorrow night is a life-and-death contest. Are you sure?" Su Qingyao said with some concern.
Su Bai smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements for tomorrow night! If there are no unexpected events, I won't have to do anything myself and everything will be resolved smoothly."
"Ah?" Su Qingyao asked doubtfully, "The other side has a master, even the old man is no match for him---"
"Sister, do you remember that I once recruited a Transformation Realm Grandmaster in Linzhou? I've already asked him to come here. When the time comes, if two Grandmaster-level masters join forces, who in Jiangzhou can stop us?"
Su Bai said with a smile: "When the time comes, we can just sit back in the audience and watch the show."
