One Child Two Treasures: The Billionaire Chief’s Good Wife Chapter 714

'If I wanted to harm you, you would long cease existing in this world . '

What did he mean by that?!

She understood a few points .

First, this man was so powerful he could crush her effortlessly .

Second, this man held the door to her destiny – enough to be capable of ordering her death .

Third, this man, at least for now, was not her enemy . As for whether he was a friend or foe, that was something to be decided later .

Her restless heart calmed down a little . She sat on the sofa and carefully observed him and his every move in secret .

By the time the man finished his cup of tea, fifteen minutes had already pa.s.sed, yet he was still in no hurry to talk .

It was unknown if he was purposely keeping her in suspense, but he proceeded to pour himself another cup of tea and sample it unhurriedly .

Even after drinking three cups of tea in succession, he did not say a word to break the silence .

In this suffocating silence, she was practically sitting on pins and needles . Seeing that he had drunk his third cup of tea and was about to pour his fourth, she lost her patience and carefully opened her mouth . “You are…”

“Young people are really impatient . It took you only three cups of tea to lose your patience . ”

The middle-aged man snorted, apparently dissatisfied with her impatience .

“You… Were you the sender of that mail?” She carefully worded her words politely .

Inside, she was a little in awe of this man .

He smiled faintly and opened his mouth to remind her . “In accordance to seniority, you should be calling me 'fourth uncle'!”

“Fourth uncle?”

She was nonplussed . Suddenly, she jerked on her seat .

Fourth uncle?

Was that…

Mu Lianjue?!

Her grandpa had a third wife . In this rank, Mu Liancheng was second and the third wife's son, Mu Lianjue, was fourth .

It was just that Old Mu had always put emphasis on legitimacy .

This man was a b*stard; thus, he, together with his mother, lived in the Mu residence in the south of the capital .

Speaking of the Mu residence, there were five mansions in total .

The main residence of the Mu was, of course, located at the heart of the capital while the rest were in the north, south, east, west respectively . The four branch mansions housed the four b*stards and other collateral relatives of the Mu .

Only the direct descendants were qualified to live in the main residence .

Fourth uncle . Could this man be Mu Lianjue?

She pondered on this for a moment before she tentatively voiced out his name . “Mu… Lianjue?”

“Impudent!” His face changed as he shoved the cup of tea on the table . With a bang , the tea splashed everywhere, startling her .

His eagle eyes pierced into her . With a livid face, he berated, “Are you qualified to call me by my name directly? You don't know any courtesy!”

She promptly bowed her head in guilt . “I apologize! I don't know any etiquette . Fourth uncle… H-h.e.l.lo, fourth uncle!”

This man was definitely Mu Lianjue .

She suddenly recalled seeing him in the Mu family portrait . In it, this man was standing to the left of her grandfather .

At the time the portrait was made, this man's face was still young; hence, she failed to recognize him for a moment .

The anger in his face had yet to ebb . “Unseemly . ”

“I was in the wrong, fourth uncle . This is my first time meeting you in person . Your presence overwhelmed me, so I was accidentally discourteous . Please forgive me!” She offered her sincere apology and put forth the good etiquette she had learned as a member of the Mu family .

She had heard that Mu Lianjue was a vicious character .

She did not dare to offend him so easily .
