"Wow--"

He accidentally knocked over the coffee on the table and even spilled it on his briefcase.

He straightened himself in a hurry, picked up the tissue beside him, and wiped his briefcase in a panic.

"You...what nonsense are you talking about?"

Fang Dezhong stared at her in disbelief, "I think you are crazy. Who do you think you are? Why do you want to drag the entire Mu family to be buried with you?!"

It's really boring.

Mu Xi sneered twice and simply stopped pretending, "Master Writer Fang, we have been chatting for such a long time, haven't you discovered my last name?"

Mu Xi, Mu Xi?

Fang Dezhong's expression changed. Her surname was also Mu... But how was this possible? There were no such coincidences in the world.

The Mu family clearly has only one daughter, Mu Ke. Where did this fake girl come from? Does she think that her last name is Mu and that she is the eldest daughter of the Mu family?

"Are you kidding me? I haven't heard of it. The Mu family has two biological daughters, and you want to pretend to be the daughter of the Mu family. I advise you not to waste your time with me. If you continue to be so stubborn, no one can save you."

Fang Dezhong wanted to leave. This girl always made him feel weird for some unknown reason.

But Mu Xi would never let him go, and pressed him step by step: "You are right, the Mu family does have only one biological daughter."

For some reason, when she said this, Fang Dezhong did not feel relieved, but felt even more weird.

"You are really good at doing things, helping your adopted daughter to plagiarize and steal your biological daughter's work."

Fang Dezhong didn't want to listen anymore. "I won't listen to your nonsense, and you don't have to talk nonsense anymore. If that's the case, you can just wait to lose everything!"

He stood up, leaving no room for her to regret this time, and turned to leave, but as he turned around he ran into a wall of flesh, his face full of impatience.

"Don't you have eyes? Can't you see the road..."

"Uncle Fang."

Fang Dezhong heard a familiar voice. He looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Xingchen?!"

"when did you come……"

Not sure if it was Mu Xingchen's appearance that gave him confidence, Fang Dezhong turned around with his briefcase, pointed at Mu Xi and said to him, "Xingchen, this person actually dared to pretend to be a member of your Mu family. Luckily you are here today, otherwise you would have let her gossip..."

Mu Xingchen didn't say anything. He just pulled a stool from the side and sat on one side of the table.

He looked up at Fang Dezhong again and said, "Sit down."

Because of Mu Xingchen's appearance, Fang Dezhong now felt confident and turned around and sat down. Since Mu Xingchen appeared here, Mu Ke must have told the Mu family about wanting to buy the works.

Now that her brother is here, there is no need for him to step forward anymore, right?

"Let me introduce him to you, Uncle Fang." His tone was calm, without any hint of emotion, yet it was very strange.

If Mu Ke was here, he would know that this is the calm before the storm. Mu Xingchen seldom gets angry, but that doesn't mean he won't get angry.

Mu Xingchen turned around and put two cups of coffee on the table. Fang Dezhong then noticed that he actually bought two cups of coffee. So when did he come here? Who was he with?

The next moment, Fang Dezhong looked at Mu Xingchen and placed another cup of coffee in front of Mu Xi.

His face stiffened.

Mu Xingchen looked at Mu Xi and introduced her to him: "Her name is Mu Xi, her biological father is Mu Liang, her biological mother is Shen Mo, and she is my biological sister."

No words were said, and her performance was not needed next.

Sure enough, Fang Dezhong was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed twice, "Heh...Xingchen, are you kidding me? Isn't Keke the only daughter of the Mu family?"

When did the Mu family have a daughter?

Why had he never heard of it?

"Mu Ke, she is an adopted daughter." Although Mu Xingchen doted on Mu Ke on weekdays, he said this firmly.

The Mu family has never given Mu Xi a real identity, which is fine, but it is impossible for others to bully her by relying on the Mu family's identity.

"Adopted daughter? Then she is..." Fang Dezhong stared at Mu Xi in shock, and a chill instantly rose from the soles of his feet.

He teamed up with his adopted daughter to seize his biological daughter's work?

Fang Dezhong felt a little dry in the mouth. He picked up the coffee on the table and wanted to take a sip, only to find that he had spilled the coffee.

He raised his glasses to hide his guilty conscience, "Xingchen, this is actually a misunderstanding..."

"Just now, I was here the whole time." Mu Xingchen interrupted him.

"I can tell whether it's a misunderstanding or not. I have two questions for you. First, whose idea was it to steal someone else's work? Second, did Mu Kezhi know that the work she stole belonged to Mu Xi?"

Mu Xingchen spoke righteously, but Mu Xi could tell that he still wanted to excuse his sister.

"You always talk about Mu Ke. Young Master Mu really takes good care of his sister." Mu Xi leaned back in the chair, speaking lazily, but with a hint of sarcasm.

Mu Xingchen didn't explain.

"She... didn't know it was Mu Xi. I was the one who brought this up." In the end, they were all from the Mu family, so Fang Dezhong simply didn't hide it. "I want to get investment from the Mu family, and Mu Ke said he would help me."

Although it was meaningless, Mu Xingchen still felt relieved after hearing what he said. At least... Mu Ke was not targeting Mu Xi.

But Mu Xi found it even funnier. Hadn't Mu Ke done enough things against her in the past?

Moreover, today it was just her. If it was someone else, would Mu Ke succeed? Would he be able to use other people's works at will?

"Master Mu, he did not lie, but if this incident today were to be blamed on anyone else, do you think they would dare to go against the Mu Group?"

"What's more, Mr. Writer Fang, you should have done this kind of thing more than once, right?" Mu Xi looked at him with curved eyes, as if she could see through his inner thoughts through his appearance.

Fang Dezhong's scalp suddenly went numb. "No, no, don't talk nonsense. If it wasn't for Coco, I wouldn't do this this time. I guarantee it on my reputation."

"Tsk, how much is your reputation worth?" As long as she wanted, he could be ruined immediately.

"Mu Xi." Fang Dezhong still has some status in the literary world. Mu Xingchen didn't want Mu Xi to speak too harshly, so as to avoid any impact in the future.

"Don't you believe it, my brother?" Mu Xi smiled sarcastically.

"Before the list of winners is announced, all information seems to be kept confidential. You can look through his briefcase and see what's inside, then you'll know, right?"

In that instant, Fang Dezhong felt numb from head to toe. All these strange things connected together. For example, why did this Mu Xi find him? How did she know that her work was plagiarized? How did she know that he was here? She even knew that he had something in his bag...

Before Mu Xingchen could react to Mu Xi's call of "brother", he saw Fang Dezhong's guilty face. For the first time, he felt the disgust of these upper-class people.

"...Brother? Why are you here?"
