Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic One - A Sober Fall

Moon Garden

Because Tu Mi slept in late, he and Tu Fu were the last to arrive at the banquet, but no one could say anything bad about Tu Mi and Tu Fu, after all, the Tu family's social standing was undeniable.

Feng Jia leaned lazily against a tree some distance from Tu Mi, arms crossed, his gaze fixed on Tu Mi through the crowd, and then gently kissed the cup.

Jin Sesan spotted Tu Mi the moment she entered. After all, he had been searching for her the instant he entered the Yue family garden. Jin Sesan didn't know what was wrong with him; he just desperately wanted to see Tu Mi.

"Thank you all for coming to our Yue Family..."

A loud, clear voice came from high up in the garden, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Tu Mi carefully examined the person on the high platform. It was Yue Sui, Yue Wuque's father. Yue Sui was indeed as the outside world described him. The word "perfect" seemed to be tailor-made for Yue Sui. Yue Sui's words and actions were as if they had been planned. They could all be described as "perfect".

This wasn't the first time Tu Mi had seen Yue Sui. Tu Mi's eyelashes drooped, and her fingers twitched slightly at her sides. Almost there... the time was almost up... Yue Wuque would appear...

"Today is the birthday of Yue Wuque, the heir of the Yue family..." It is also the day Yue Wuque returns.

Upon hearing this, those who were unaware of the truth looked surprised, but those who knew the inside story remained calm. At the same time, Yue Wuque appeared before everyone, and everyone's gaze shifted from Yue Sui to Yue Wuque. A year had passed, but Yue Wuque was still the same Yue Wuque.

The appearance of Yue Wuque is undoubtedly a reassurance to the aristocratic families that rely on the Yue family. It also clearly tells all the aristocratic families that the Yue family candidates have returned. The Yue family, which was slightly weaker in the previous aristocratic family disputes, is about to return to its former glory. The struggle for power among the aristocratic families will also become a process of mutual checks and balances among several forces.

Yue Wuque said gently to everyone, "Thank you all for coming to my birthday party..."

Afterwards, Yue Wuque explained to everyone why he had not been exposed to the aristocratic families for a year. According to Yue Wuque, he was ill and needed time to recuperate, so it was inconvenient for him to be exposed to the aristocratic families.

As for the speculation among the aristocratic families about Yue Wuque's disappearance, it has nothing to do with Yue Wuque or the Yue family, because the Yue family has never publicly stated that Yue Wuque is missing. The turmoil caused by the so-called disappearance of Yue Wuque can only be borne by those aristocratic families that cannot make good decisions.

As Yue Wuque spoke, his gaze kept drifting towards Tu Mi, intentionally or unintentionally. Ah~ his fanboy...

After Yue Sui and Yue Wuque finished speaking, everyone was free to go about their own business.

Tu Mi stood beside the orchid, calmly feeling the gazes coming from all directions. As a candidate for the newly emerging fifth major family, the Tu family, and because it was rumored among the aristocratic families that the Tu family's current position was inseparable from Tu Mi's efforts, many people, both secretly and openly, were observing Tu Mi, estimating her actual abilities, and also observing how the observers positioned themselves in the struggle among the five major families.

Tu Mi ignored the stares and searched for Tu Fu's figure in the crowd. After Tu Mi and Tu Fu came in together, Tu Fu separated from Tu Mi.

Within seconds, Tu Mi saw Tu Fu and walked towards him. When she got closer, she found that Feng Kan, Ye Hua, and the heads of the three great families, Jin He, were all there. Feng Jia, Ye Tianzhu, and Jin Se San were also naturally with them.

Tu Mi frowned imperceptibly, then approached Tu Fu.

"Father."

Tu Fu looked at Tu Mi and smiled, "I was just about to send someone to find you."

Tu Mi responded with a smile.

When Ye Hua, the head of the Ye family, saw a new person arrive, his gaze shifted to Tu Mi. He raised an eyebrow and said to Tu Fu, "So this is your young master. He is truly handsome and has the bearing of a peach or plum blossom."

Tu Mi looked at Ye Hua, the head of the Ye family, the most romantic figure among the aristocratic families. Ye Tianzhu was his illegitimate son. Judging from his appearance, he bore a resemblance to Ye Tianzhu. Ye Hua and Ye Tianzhu were indeed father and son.

Tu Fu smiled broadly and replied politely, "Your young master is the same."

Jin He glanced at Jin Se San who was following beside him, and then said meaningfully to Tu Fu, "Tu Mi and Se San used to be very, very good brothers."

It means: The Tu family used to rely on our Jin family for protection, but in just a few days they have risen to be on par with the four great families. They are truly amazing.

Tu Fu smiled and replied, "Patriarch Jin should know that time flies and feelings change."

As time goes by, the stone and the sea change every moment, not to mention the fleeting and fragile emotions that are like smoke and paper.

Feng Kan stood aside, observing the confrontation between Jin He and Tu Fu. The four family heads were not all deaf and blind. The Tu family had been overstepping their bounds from the beginning and would definitely take some action, which would surely make a fuss.

The four major families quickly noticed these unusual movements and sent people to investigate these suddenly emerging forces. However, every time they were about to find an important clue, their operations would be interrupted in strange ways. They also suspected that this suddenly emerging force was hidden under the four major families, but in reality, it was extremely difficult to carry out the investigation.

Feng Kan turned his gaze to Tu Fu. In his youth, Tu Fu was known to everyone in the aristocratic families for his outstanding abilities, which were comparable to those of the candidates from the four major families at the time.

At this moment, Yue Sui led Yue Wuque toward the group, a smile on her face. "Esteemed family heads, please come upstairs with me to discuss this matter."

The expressions on everyone's faces were varied.

Tu Fu glanced at Tu Mi, who smiled back at him, assuring him that everything was alright.

After Yue Sui left with Ye Hua, Feng Kan, Jin He, and Tu Fu, Yue Wuque smiled gently at Tu Mi and the others, saying, "Then I will entertain you all."

Unusually, Jin Sesan, Ye Tianzhu, and Feng Jia did not utter a single harsh word to Yue Wuque, nor did they even give him a cold look. The scene was unexpectedly harmonious, and Tu Mi looked at the three of them in surprise.

Feng Jia walked forward with a smile, stretched out his arms and hugged Yue Wuque, "Welcome back, Yue."

Yue Wuque hugged Feng Jia back and said gently, "Thank you. I hope you were happy in the days before I was gone."

Feng Jia released his arms from Yue Wuque, slowly took a step back, and said with a smile, "Of course."

Jin Se San leaned in close and carefully observed Yue Wuque's expression. "You suddenly disappeared without any reason before, and I was very worried. What happened to you, Yue?"

Ye Tianzhu also turned his gaze to Yue Wuque, his eyes showing a hint of concern.

Yue Wuque said to Jin Sesan and Ye Tianzhu, "It's nothing, just a minor illness."

Ye Tianzhu spoke up at the right moment: "A-Yue, are you feeling better?"

Yue Wuque smiled gently at Ye Tianzhu, with a hint of reassurance, "You're almost fully recovered, don't worry."

Ye Tianzhu lowered his eyes and nodded, giving a muffled "hmm".

Tu Mi stood aside, carefully observing the subtle expressions and movements of Yue Wuque, Jin Sesan, Feng Jia, and Ye Tianzhu, lowering her brows and concealing the thoughts in her eyes.
