Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 332: Why Do You Want to See Me?

Mu Yunlie quickly replied to the message.

"What made you suddenly ask this? Has something happened?"

"Nothing much, just worried, afraid that just in case... you answer my question first."

As Yunlie’s wife, she should hope for harmony in his family.

But since Yunlie was so averse to the Mu Family, he must have been hurt by them when he was a child.

Therefore, she wouldn’t urge him to acknowledge his ancestors and return to his roots.

She respected all of his wishes.

And right now, she still wasn’t sure if the Mu Family had anything to do with her mother’s matters.

Mu Yunlie replied: "It’s fine, as long as you think visiting the Mu Family is useful for you, don’t worry about me. Do whatever you want to do. If something really happens, I’ll handle it."

He knew that Yan Qianyi, despite her young age, had just taken charge of the Yan’s business; it was not easy.

Yan Hong might have retired, but he was restless, always wanting to regain control.

Allowing her to attend Mu Kang’s birthday banquet and meet some big names in the business world indeed helped the Yan’s business.

Yan Qianyi looked at Mu Yunlie’s message, and the cool smile on her face softened.

With Yunlie’s words, she felt reassured.

The Mu Family’s estate was a bit away from the city district, in a quiet and elegant environment with little traffic on the roads.

But as she neared the Mu Family’s estate, the vehicles increased, and every car on the road was a luxury vehicle, showing that they were all guests attending Mu Kang’s birthday banquet.

When they reached the entrance, there was even a bit of a traffic jam.

Li De rolled down the car window.

"Housekeeper Li, are you personally picking up some important figure?" asked someone from the waiting vehicles when they saw Li De.

Li De smiled, "Naturally, it’s a distinguished guest."

Being the Federation Empire’s richest family, the fact that Housekeeper Li personally went to pick someone up showed their extraordinary status.

So everyone became curious and tried to peek inside the car.

Sitting in the back seat, Yan Qianyi didn’t roll down the window, but she could still make out the rows of cars behind her from the front window.

She raised her hand and gently pressed her temples, "Housekeeper Li, I have a bit of headache and can’t handle the draft, could you please roll up the window for me?"

Given the special treatment by Housekeeper Li, after tonight, those who cooperated with the Yan’s would definitely rush to curry favor with her.

This was an advantage for her, and she wouldn’t have to worry about partnerships in the future.

But people weren’t fools, they would certainly wonder why the Mu Family valued her so much?

Considering her husband also surnamed Mu.

Well, various speculations and rumors were bound to arise.

Originally, she just wanted to attend a dinner quietly, just like the other guests, so others wouldn’t think too much.

She hadn’t expected the Mu Family to play this game.

Truly, there’s no business without cunning.

Li De closed the window and turned around with concern, asking, "We have a family doctor in the estate, do you want to see him later?"

Before picking up Yan Qianyi, Old Master Mu had specifically instructed him to make it as high-profile as possible, wishing the whole world to know that Yan Qianyi was the Mu Family’s eldest granddaughter-in-law and Mu Yunlie his eldest grandson.

But Lady Yan was very astute and appeared to see through his intentions.

"No need, I’ve brought my own medicine," said Yan Qianyi.

Li De nodded and smiled, "That’s true, Lady Yan knows medicine.

Yan Qianyi smiled without speaking.

In the past, she wouldn’t show off her medical knowledge in front of others, but ever since the outdoor comprehensive training where she treated a terrorist for poisoning, her classmates knew about her medical skills.

But aside from Mu Yunlie, no one else from the Mu Family had attended the Federation Military Academy.

So, they must have deliberately looked into her background.

Of course, she had also specifically investigated the Mu Family during this time.

The car entered the estate’s gate and drove a distance before stopping in the open-air parking lot.

As soon as the car came to a standstill, Yan Qianyi was still straightening her skirt when Li De had already hastily gotten out to open the car door for her.

Yan Qianyi took a glance outside, where guests were arriving one after another, many just reaching and socializing in the parking lot.

It was no longer possible to avoid people noticing Housekeeper Li’s special treatment towards her.

She could only accept it with good grace.

"Thank you," Yan Qianyi nodded slightly and stepped out of the car.

People in the parking lot all turned their gazes her way.

"Who is that big shot that even Housekeeper Li is personally opening the door for?"

"She’s so beautiful! Haven’t seen her in previous years."

"It seems she’s the new helmsperson for Yan’s."

"Which Yan’s?"

"The one in the medical field, that Yan’s."

"Oh! I remember now."

The ones who could attend Mu Kang’s birthday banquet at the Mu Family’s were all major players, including top figures in the business world as well as the political sphere.

Given the Yan Family’s clout, they indeed weren’t influential enough for everyone present to recognize.

However, there were also those present who had attended the engagement auction hosted by Yan Hong.

"Who would have thought Miss Yan would look good with her eyes closed, and even better with them open, embodying two entirely different auras."

"Did you attend the matchmaking auction Yan Hong held back then?"

"Of course, an S-tier fertility, and yet so good-looking, who wouldn’t want such genes for their legacy?"

"I heard it was the fourth young master of the Mu Family who won the beauty but later broke off the engagement."

"That’s true. Speaking of which, Yan Hong is really out of line, to actually sell his daughter in such a way to save the company."

Concerning Yan Hong’s behavior of selling his daughter at that time, those in high society who knew of the incident took it as a joke to be talked about.

"But why is she here today? And with Housekeeper Li personally attending to her?"

"Don’t know."

"Could it be to re-engage the marriage contract?"

"How could that be possible, my nephew is at the Federation Military Academy, and he says Yan Qianyi has already married a teacher there, also surnamed Mu?"

"I know, his name is Mu Yunlie."

"That name sounds so familiar... isn’t the grandson of Duke Nangong named just that?"

"It’s the same person?"

"Yes indeed."

"Then what is the relation between Mu Yunlie and the Mu Family?"

"Not sure, never heard about any connections between their families."

"So, the Mu Family places such importance on Miss Yan because of Duke Nangong?"

"I don’t think so."

"Some of you may not know the old and deep secrets of those ancient wealthy families, but actually, there has been an association between the Mu Family and the Nangong Family."

"What do you know? Come on, tell us."

"Forget it, I fear speaking out might offend people..."

Moving further and further away from the parking lot, the sound of those discussions gradually faded.

Yan Qianyi noticed that when people speculated about the relationship between Mu Yunlie and the Mu Family, a fleeting, imperceptible smile passed over the corners of Li De’s lips.

Just about to enter the main house, Mu Huaner came to greet them.

"Housekeeper Li, you can go attend to other things; leave Qianyi to me. The old master wants to see her, he asked me to bring her over."

Yan Qianyi was taken aback, "Why does Old Master Mu want to see me?"

"Have you forgotten? Although on the surface, you came to attend my elder brother’s birthday banquet as a guest, in reality, you represent Ah Lie as his wife, my father, of course, wants to meet you."
