âUncle, what do you mean by this?â
Even though the young man knew his uncleâs intention, he still wanted to get to the bottom of things.
âYazhe, uncle wonât hide it from you. In ancient times, that woman would be a charming vixen that brought about a kingâs downfall! Sheâll be a stumbling block in your grand ambition if you keep her by your side! Think about it; how many rulers lost their power because of women?! I really donât want the same thing to happen to you, so youâd better make a clean break with her before you lose your mind. Donât see her again!â
âNo way!â He vehemently rejected it without a second thought.
In his opinion, he had always been level-headed with regard to women and career, and there was no need for others to give him pointers!
There was no exception to thisânot even his second uncle whom he respected the most!
It was precisely because he had never let his personal affairs stand in the way of his ambitions that he did not want anyone interfering in it.
His uncle looked shocked before he lambasted, âHe he! This is the first time that you defied my order, and itâs all because of a woman! Your uncle here is a little disappointed!â
The man merely smirked. He did not intend to back down, though his tone was still respectful. The resolve in his voice was loud and clear, nonetheless!
âUncle, I have always treated your words like commands, but thereâs no room for discussion on this particular matter! That woman is my private affair, so I hope that you wonât interfere in it!â
His uncleâs face stiffened instantly!
The young man, however, did not shun the cold and angry look on his uncleâs face. Instead, his cool and composed eyes stared squarely into the latterâs eyes without any fear or vexation.
This was a silent confrontation.
Mu Linfeng snorted after a while, his words revealing a trace of warning. âWhy donât you do a little self-reflection? What status do you have now? Youâre not young anymore and we have come so far, so no matter what, I canât allow you to mess this up!â
He paused and then drawled, âActually, in the past, I wouldnât object with you having a woman! I know your temperament well enough to know that you wonât let a woman mess with your business, but youâve gone too far recently with some of the things you did! I donât mean to reprimand you, but your actions really disappointed me!â
He was undoubtedly referring to the âcrossfireâ between his nephew and the Song family that stemmed from Yun Shishi.
Jiang Qimeng was deeply displeased over this matter.
Song Zhengguo did not explicitly touch on this matter in words but in action, instead.
There were a few land-development projects that he refused to approve, which caused quite a substantial loss to Disheng.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Of course, this loss was considered minute to his second uncle, but his nephewâs actions were more consequential!
From his perspective, his nephew had gone wayward in this matter!
All along, the Mu family could expand their influences due to the advantages and support given by various parties.
Now, his nephew had actually offended the Songs because of this small affair.
He was naturally unhappy about this.
Moreover, he had forewarned the young chap earlier on, but the latter had apparently ignored!
The reason he summoned him to Morokko was to hook him up with Princess Charlotte!
His ambition was fully displayed here; if the Mu family could cozy up with this countryâs royal family, then they would be able to soar to new heights, which they had never experienced before!
