The whole family was brutally murdered? The ruthless heiress's eldest daughter went berserk aft

Liuli walked in angrily and stood behind Murong Xuewei.

Murong Xuewei looked at Liuli calmly, "What's wrong?"

"Miss, you have no idea what those ladies were saying. They said that our Murong family is so powerful and wealthy that they are not worthy to dine at the same table as us."

"I guessed that a long time ago."

Liuli looked at Murong Xuewei in surprise, "Miss, you already know, and you're even inviting them to dinner."

Murong Xuewei beckoned to Liuli, "Liuli, come here. Do as I say."

After Murong Xuewei whispered a few words to Liuli, Liuli happily ran out.

After Liuli left, Murong Xuewei carefully examined the recipes at Qidian. At that moment, the door opened again.

"Is there anything else, Liuli?" Murong Xuewei thought Liuli had returned.

Looking up, she saw a tall, slender figure. Murong Xuewei was captivated by the figure and remained in a daze for a long time.

Gu Ye walked over and sat down next to Murong Xuewei. "Miss Murong, are you looking at me like this because you've fallen in love with me?"

Murong Xuewei only came back to her senses when Gu Ye spoke. Damn it, why is Gu Ye dressed so flamboyantly today? He made her so mesmerized.

"General Gu is dressed so flamboyantly to see me today, does that mean I can take it as General Gu has fallen in love with me?"

Gu Ye suddenly moved closer to Murong Xuewei and said, "Isn't it normal for a general to dress up nicely to meet his future wife?"

Murong Xuewei then realized that the two were now engaged.

Murong Xuewei felt a little uncomfortable seeing the suddenly enlarged handsome face and subconsciously pulled her chair to the side.

"General Gu, we are just business partners, please don't put it like that..." Murong Xuewei was too embarrassed to finish her sentence.

Gu Ye, seemingly oblivious, leaned closer again, asking, "What is this?"

As Gu Ye approached again, Murong Xuewei felt all the blood rushing to her face. Even without looking in a mirror, she could tell that her face was redder than if she had applied rouge. Afraid that Gu Ye would notice her blushing, she quickly turned her face away.

“Of course, it’s intimate.” Murong Xuewei said the word “intimate” very softly.

This time, Gu Ye didn't come closer. He sat up straight and poured himself a cup of tea. "You have results from having someone monitor Jiang Lingyun."

Murong Xuewei turned around in surprise, "Really? You found a way for Jiang Lingyun to contact the capital?"

Gu Ye continued drinking his tea without answering Murong Xuewei's question.

"My bodyguards have done you such a great favor. How should you thank me?"

When it came to discussing terms, Murong Xuewei reverted to her usual image as a powerful businesswoman who dominated the business world.

"Thank you? General Gu, have you forgotten that I traded these guards with you? Now you're asking me to thank you, which means you don't want to cooperate anymore."

Murong Xuewei's eyes gleamed with cunning. "Since General Gu doesn't want to cooperate anymore, does that mean I can stop paying the military pay?"

Murong Xuewei's words effectively shut down Gu Ye's words and even teased him.

After hearing what Murong Xuewei said, Gu Ye's lips unconsciously curled up.

"What a clever little fox!"

"Thank you for the compliment, General Gu. I wouldn't call myself a fox, but as businessmen, we are exceptionally clear about our profits."

Gu Ye took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Murong Xuewei. "This is the information that the secret guards have obtained by tracking Jiang Lingyun over the past few days."

Murong Xuewei took the paper and opened it to read.

"However, I am very curious, how did you know that Jiang Lingyun would definitely contact the capital in the next few days?"

After reading it, Murong Xuewei folded the paper with satisfaction and put it into her sleeve pocket. "Jiang Lingyun came to the Murong family with the intention of stealing their business secrets. Originally, their target was me, but I used some tricks to force them to place their hopes on Murong Lian. Now that Murong Lian's shop has been taken away, if Jiang Lingyun doesn't come up with a solution, I'm afraid he won't be able to return to the capital."

Gu Ye propped his head up with one hand and looked at Murong Xuewei with interest. "Then how did you know their initial plan?"

“Of course…” Murong Xuewei was a little too happy and almost revealed the secret of her rebirth, but fortunately she swallowed her words in time.

"Naturally, I noticed something was wrong with Murong Lian and investigated. I've been in the business world for so long, so I'm naturally more vigilant than the average person." Murong Xuewei looked at Gu Ye with a guilty expression.

Seeing the way Murong Xuewei's eyes were darting around, Gu Ye knew that this little fox was definitely hiding something.

"I see. No wonder she's the behind-the-scenes female boss of the Murong family! She's truly amazing."

Murong Xuewei pretended to fix her hair, avoiding looking at Gu Ye, "Of course."

Fortunately, Liuli returned at that moment.

"Miss, Miss!" Liuli excitedly pushed open the door and ran in.

"Miss, those ladies really came to the banquet!" Liuli exclaimed excitedly, stomping her feet as she pulled Murong Xuewei along.

According to Murong Xuewei, if this place weren't so small, Liuli would probably be overjoyed.

"Alright, I got it. Come in now!"

Murong Xuewei turned her head, wanting to tell Gu Ye to leave, but when she turned to look, the seat where Gu Ye had been sitting was empty.

Murong Xuewei raised her hand and touched the note in her sleeve pocket. If it weren't for the note telling her that someone had indeed been there, Murong Xuewei would have thought that she was the only one in the room all along.

"Get ready and tell the innkeeper that the food is ready to be served."

Before long, all the ladies Murong Xuewei had invited arrived.

Throughout the meal, the ladies kept waiting for Murong Xuewei to bring up the order, but she didn't mention a single word about it until the end.

The whole banquet felt like it was just a get-together between close girlfriends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.

After the banquet ended, Liuli asked in confusion, "Miss, didn't you host this banquet today and invite several ladies to discuss the order? Why didn't you mention it once during the banquet?"

Murong Xuewei smiled slightly, "Liuli, do you also think that my hosting of this banquet for the ladies today is to use the power of the Murong family to coerce them into signing a new contract with the Murong family?"

Liuli asked in confusion, "Isn't that how it is?"

"If you think this way, then the other ladies must think the same way."

Liuli nodded, then shook her head. "Miss, why did you invite these ladies to dinner today?"

"Liuli, do you still remember what I said when I first took you out to do business?"
