At this moment, many people's eyes were filled with anticipation, as if wanting to know the inside story.
He Xia and He Chengkui were also a bit surprised, but He Chengkui raised an eyebrow, his gaze towards Mu Yinyin filled with interest.
Although the inheritance was problematic, nominally, Mu Yinyin might still have to call him Uncle.
But in his eyes, there was no blood relation at all. This woman now exuded a mysterious aura all over her, which was simply too alluring.
He sized up Mu Yinyin and then slowly smiled, "Yinyin, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Are you free tomorrow? Shall we have dinner together?"
Some people couldn't help themselves. Those who had a good relationship with the He family walked up and asked suspiciously, "Director He, what's going on? Do you know CEO Mu too?"
He Chengkui smiled, turned to look at the speaker, and introduced their relationship without any reservation, "Didn't you just hear Shiqing call her sister?"
The crowd was momentarily stunned.
Sister.
He Xia only had Nan Shiqing as her daughter, but after she married the chairman of the Mu Corporation, she gained another daughter. The crowd's eyes widened slightly.
CEO Mu, also surnamed Mu... then she was the heiress of the Mu Corporation?!
The crowd suddenly reacted, their faces filled with shock!
"Oh my god, is CEO Mu so low-key? She's actually the heiress of the Mu Corporation!"
"Yes, so low-key! Oh my god! I'm really shocked. With such an excellent family background, she still has to work hard and strive on her own. She's truly amazing!"
No matter when or where, the most abundant resource is always sycophants.
If there isn't one sycophant, there will be another. With just a few words, Mu Yinyin was already being elevated to a pedestal.
Nan Shiqing's eyes were filled with jealousy!
She took a shallow breath and said apologetically, "Sister, are you angry with me because you weren't invited to this banquet? I... I just thought you never liked attending such events, so I didn't call you. Moreover, moreover... your identity as CEO Mu, perhaps you wanted to give me a surprise, so you never told me. I didn't expect you to come today. It was my oversight not to invite you. But no matter what, we are sisters, you won't be truly angry with me, right?"
A few sentences.
It laid out the situation very clearly.
Mu Yinyin was amused to the point of anger.
Nan Shiqing was implying, first, that she was petty for being unhappy about not being invited to the banquet.
Second, by saying she didn't like attending various banquets, it clearly implied she was unsociable, didn't know how to socialize with others, and was self-righteous.
Third, Nan Shiqing was sad that she hadn't told her family members that she was CEO Mu, but she was still magnanimous enough to forgive her, even providing a good excuse – a surprise.
In any case, it was her character that was flawed, but Nan Shiqing was very sensible.
Mu Yinyin actually didn't want to waste her breath with them at the banquet. After all, it was a public occasion, and she didn't want to disturb the enjoyment of Lu Sinian's family.
After all, one only celebrates their birthday once a year.
But...
Gu Xiaoqi did not think so. She walked over and heard Nan Shiqing's tea-like words, and her expression immediately turned grim. She said with a cold smile, "Miss Nan, what you said is interesting. Why should Yinyin tell you she is the Dragon Head of Fanxing?"
He Xia and the others' expressions changed slightly, but Gu Xiaoqi's status also could not be trifled with. He Xia immediately said, "CEO Gu, some things might be misunderstood. We..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Xiaoqi interrupted with a cold smile, "Misunderstood?"
He Xia quickly nodded, about to say something, but Gu Xiaoqi already looked at her with a cold smile and said without hesitation, "After Uncle Mu passed away, you occupied all of Uncle Mu's assets. To this day, Yinyin doesn't even have 0.0001% of the shares in Mu Corporation. You haven't even given Yinyin a position in Mu Corporation, so why should she maintain this relationship that lacks any blood ties with you?"
Everyone: "?!"
There was such a thing?!
Mu Yinyin was the legitimate daughter of the Mu Corporation, the only daughter of Chairman Mu. After his death, the inheritance should have all belonged to her in terms of morality and sentiment, and legally, a part of it should have been hers. But they had swallowed it all?
This was too much!
A single spark ignited a thousand waves. He Xia and the others' expressions changed. They had never expected Mu Yinyin and Gu Xiaoqi to be so unfeeling and say such insensible things in public!
But... with the two of them acting like this, Li Chuan and Jiang Ling were sitting aside, showing no intention of stopping them. They looked as if they were Mu Yinyin's backing, ready to destroy anyone who dared to speak ill of her.
Fu Siye's eyes narrowed slightly.
In the past, he never cared about Mu Yinyin's situation. Whether she had shares had nothing to do with him. Even though they were married before, in his opinion, Mu Yinyin wasn't even worth a passerby.
But thinking about it now, He Xia and the others' greed was rather unpleasant.
However, this had nothing to do with him.
Gu Xiaoqi didn't give He Xia a chance to speak and continued with a cold laugh, "You are all a pack of wolves, wolves that devour people without spitting out the bones. Uncle Mu, out of consideration for sentiment, brought you up, but you did an excellent job, completely living up to Uncle Mu's efforts, taking over everything of his, and not even giving a mouthful of soup to his own daughter. What right do you have to be so sarcastic about Yinyin being insensible! If she had truly told you she was the Dragon Head of Fanxing, wouldn't your greedy claws have stretched out even further!"
"Before, Yinyin pities you and has taken care of you in various ways. But now, it seems her sincerity was fed to the dogs!"
A wave of emotion washed over Mu Yinyin. She had so many people who cared about her and protected her, so why did she give her true heart to a executioner back then?
He Xia's expression had already turned unpleasant. Being lectured by a junior in front of so many dignitaries, didn't she have any self-respect?
But at this moment, she couldn't get angry. Gu Xiaoqi could act out; she had the qualifications. What she needed to do now was to clarify these matters!
And Mu Yinyin indeed had no shares. When people demanded evidence for clarification, she couldn't possibly divide any shares to Mu Yinyin. She could only choose other methods.
She immediately said, "No, you misunderstand me. Although Yinyin is not my biological daughter, after being with Old Mu for so many years, our relationship is very good. I have long regarded Yinyin as my own daughter. The reason Yinyin has no shares is not because I don't give them to her. Currently, Shiqing also has no shares. I am just worried that they are too young and lack the ability to take over. It's not that I am hoarding the property. Otherwise, I could have given Shiqing a portion."
