Old Mistress saw the interaction between the two. She glanced at Yuan Xuan and sighed quietly.
'This grandson of mine has really been bewitched by this woman, Mu Chenyan!'
'Not to mention being all lovey-dovey in the public, they even disregard me!'
'Yuan Tian is not here. If she was here, seeing that she and that woman are close to each other and will be together a lot in the future, that would really be wreaking havoc and bringing chaos to the Yuan Family!'
Old Mistress Yuan's overactive mental and psychological thoughts coupled with the long period of socializing soon tired her out.
Yuan Zhe and Yuan Zhuan hurriedly helped Grandmother to sit down and rest by the side.
...
Each guest was here for their own agenda.
Some were taking the opportunity to get close to Yuan Tangzhong, speaking in official terms about their political career and trying to strike up an acquaintance with him so that in the future, they could acquire this bigshot's assistance in Luo Hai.
Some, on the other hand, were taking advantage of this opportunity to approach the three young masters of the Yuan Family and fawn over them.
Throughout the flattery speech, Yuan Zhe continuously displayed a polite and satisfied smile on his face.
However, Yuan Xuan was as always, alienating and indifferent.
These young lads were younger than him. Although they were not that mature in age, coming from aristocratic families, they had learned well the classic ability to trim one's sail to the wind.
Yuan Xuan cast his mind back to the time when he returned from England. What he did was simply leveraged on his father's contacts and network, and so he had a better headstart when starting up his business.
However, the latter part of his business expansion was all attained through his own effort!
Inspections at the mines site, geological surveys, and buyout bids; he had been working day and night, sometimes so busy till he did not even had time for a sip of water, but not once did he resort to any short-cuts in building his business.
Even in the aspect of social networking, he held firm to his own principles.
He would not speak any words of adulation, let alone give praises that were contrary to his convictions.
He had managed to break new grounds with his outstanding ability and his resolute way of doing things. If he was not capable, should he find shelter under a powerhouse and take short-cuts?
No, he would not resort to that at all!
On occasions such as the current one, listening to all the exaggerating praises from his peers was rather annoying to Yuan Xuan, so naturally, there was no expression on his face.
His eyes were only affixed on his wife, who was as beautiful as a flower...
As Wu Ze had not left, when Mu Chenyan was conversing intimately with Wen Ya. Wu Ze would constantly circle around like a ferocious beast guarding its prey, and this caused Yuan Xuan to feel uneasy.
Two prodigal sons noticed that no matter how they flattered Yuan Xuan, he would not respond positively at all and did not even bother to give a smile. Following Yuan Xuan's gaze, their focus shifted and moved onto Mu Chenyan.
"Young Master Yuan's really blessed. The Mu Family's young miss is no less beautiful than back then..."
"That's right. I think compared to two or three years ago, Miss Chenyan's countenance seems even better. The Yuan Family's feng shui is really favorable for one's well-being."
The two were out of words and were simply looking for a conversation topic.
Yuan Xuan's face darkened as he sneered ironically. Mu Chenyan had only been staying with the Yuan Family for about ten days. How could there be the saying of good countenance?
These mediocre people were unaware of the sufferings she had experienced in prison, and only kept ingratiating themselves. This irritated Yuan Xuan!
"I think Master Zheng and Young Master Qian should head back now. Both of you are already drunk and spouting nonsense. It wouldn't be a good thing if you make a fool of yourselves later."
Yuan Xuan unceremoniously asked them to leave, his dark and deep gaze showed no trace of warmth. The two gentlemen were so shocked that they dared not say another word and hid in a corner dejectedly.
Yuan Zhuan saw how cold-hearted his younger brother was from the side, and he could not help to laugh out loud. Yuan Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "Did Second Brother forget to take your medicine before leaving the house?"
Yuan Zhuan was honest by nature. From young, he had been no match for Yuan Xuan in arguments. After growing up, although he was also in the business field, he still could not compete against Yuan Xuan. As he had lost out in terms of bearing, he lacked the confidence to speak out as well.
"Huh, you've got no respect for your brother!"
Upon saying that, the cultured Yuan Zhuan went to Old Mistress' side, leaving Yuan Xuan the back of a complaining figure...
