Chapter 148: The 'Pretty Boy' Identity! A Woman's Lies!
Chapter 148: The 'Pretty Boy' Identity! A Woman's Lies!
"Holy shit! Did you guys just see that?"
At this moment, below the stage, a figure excitedly spoke to his colleague.
Li Senlin suspiciously glanced at the young man and then at the shocked and surprised expressions of the influential figures from Linzhou City.
"What's going on?"
Li Shu curiously asked.
The equipment on both sides was adjusted, and they were just waiting for the person to come out.
"Oh dear, I wonder if this ribbon-cutting ceremony will be able to proceed smoothly today!"
"Is Dong Mutian here? Is he trying to compete with Queen Dong?"
"Who knows, damn, I really want to go up and see what's going on!"
"Dong Mutian is here?!"
As soon as he spoke, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Over this period of time, those with slightly better-informed sources had heard about the internal struggle within the Tianyun Group.
Some believed that this incident was Dong Muchun's resistance against the Dong family.
It was said that she had founded a company with a mysterious shareholder, completely unrelated to the Dong family.
Initially, some thought that Dong Muchun and Dong Mutian, the sibling pair, would wage a tug-of-war using the Tianyun Group as their battleground, and even some of the Tianyun Group's higher-ups were considering which side to support.
However, no one expected that Queen Dong's first counterattack would be to jump ship directly?
And now, Dong Mutian had come knocking on their door! Anyone could guess that an unimaginable storm would erupt within the building.
Unfortunately, these people couldn't get close enough to witness it firsthand, but watching from the outside was satisfying enough for many.
Dong Mutian obviously didn't pay attention to the gossip behind him; he was well aware of his sister's connections in Linzhou over the years.
But today was just right; he wanted to disgrace Dong Muchun in front of everyone.
He wanted her to know that in the Dong family, he, as the rightful eldest son, should have been the one receiving the most attention.
'Ding'
The elevator reached the sixth floor, and Dong Mutian quickly found the large reception room.
He didn't hesitate and pushed the door open.
As expected, Dong Muchun and the young man from the video were in the reception room.
"My dear sister, I've missed you so much these past few days."
Dong Mutian looked at the two on the sofa, wanting to see panic on Dong Muchun's face and fear on the young man's face, but he saw neither.
Dong Muchun's face was calm, with a faint smile on her cheeks, seemingly unbothered by his arrival.
As for the young man being kept, he was calm, almost as if he were an outsider.
"I don't want to see you here. What are you doing here?"
In front of Su Ping and Dong San, Dong Muchun still didn't speak harshly, after all, it was hard-won to change Su Ping's impression of her, and it wasn't worth changing it because of Dong Mutian.
"Of course, I want to see what kind of tricks you've been playing here! Dong Muchun, how dare you? Using the group's connections and resources to start your own company?"
Dong Muchun guessed that he was here to demand an explanation, and when he looked at Dong San, who was standing there woodenly, she understood that Dong San represented their father!
Dong Muchun narrowed her eyes slightly, but she wasn't sure if now was the right time.
So, she didn't speak, and neither did Su Ping.
In fact, Su Ping wasn't sure if he should leave and let these siblings have the stage to themselves.
Unfortunately, the next sentence made Su Ping, who thought he could stay out of it, have to take a good look at this Dong young master.
"What's going on now? Did you bring your little lover here? Is this little company of yours just for your little lover?
Dong Muchun, I didn't realize it before, but I've played with so many women and seen so many women, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you, rushing to throw yourself at someone!
Are you afraid that your little lover will reject you because of your age, and you'll be left alone? You're giving resources, giving companies, and now you're even giving away companies? Won't you suddenly give away the Tianyun Group, or even the entire Dong family one day?"
As soon as these words came out, Dong Muchun's face turned pale with anger.
However, what worried her even more was how Su Ping would misunderstand the situation.
Fortunately, Su Ping only slightly frowned and watched Dong Mutian with interest.
Previously, Dong Muchun had told Su Ping more than once about her useless brother.
Su Ping had thought she was exaggerating.
Now it seemed that it was indeed the case.
Noble families have their systems, but not everyone is outstanding, right?
It's one thing to have the talent and Beastmaster ability, but now it seems that Dong Mutian's ability to handle matters is even worse than Dong Muchun's.
He, of course, wouldn't get angry.
He knew Dong Mutian's words were nonsense.
No one would get angry over an obvious lie; only the liar would be annoyed.
On the contrary, from another perspective, this guy was admitting that he had the ability to live off others, like his handsome looks...
Hmm, at this thought, Su Ping even felt a bit of inexplicable joy?
"Dong Mutian, get out of here. I'll talk to you when I have time. I don't want you to ruin the image of the Dong family in front of others!"
"Pfft! Dong Muchun, do you still have a face? I told you to find a reliable person to marry, but you disagreed. You said you wanted to find someone you loved and have them marry into the Dong family. In the end, aren't you just worried that after getting married, you won't get a share of the family's industry?"
"You're pining for a man, and you've brought along this pretty boy, making so many people come and watch you cut the ribbon for this dog-shit company of yours. Aren't you tarnishing the Dong family's reputation?"
Dong Muchun calmly observed Dong Mutian, who was frothing at the mouth, and exhaled deeply.
She turned to Dong San:
"Dong San, take your brother away quickly. I'll explain to Dad later... This has nothing to do with Su Ping."
Dong San spoke with a heavy heart:
"Miss, please forgive me. Master means for me to follow Young Master..."
Dong Muchun frowned.
"Enough, Dong Muchun. If you hand over the Tianyun Group's shares, these matters won't be an issue! As a woman, you should stay at home, be a good wife and mother. Why are you out here showing your face?"
Dong Mutian smacked his lips, as if everything was under his control.
However, a glimmer of light flashed through the depths of Dong Muchun's eyes, and she said:
"Dong Mutian, on what grounds do you claim my shares? Or is this the intention of Father or Grandpa? So, you've finally revealed your true purpose, haven't you?"
Dong Mutian opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Dong Muchun's eyes reddened:
"Are Grandfather and Father really so heartless? How can it be that a daughter of the Dong family is no longer considered a member? Now that I've served the Dong family, they want to abandon me? Fine, from this moment on, I'll leave the Dong family and no longer be a part of it! Are you satisfied now?"
Surprisingly, Dong Muchun's words left Dong Mutian stunned.
In his mind, his younger sister had always been a resilient and unyielding person, and he had never seen her in such a pitiful state.
Even he himself couldn't help but question his own actions. Had he really gone too far?
Thinking about it, it seemed that way. He had played with so many women, spent a lot of the family's money, wasted many resources, and now, his younger sister's issue didn't seem like a big deal from the family's perspective.
Even Dong San spoke up:
"Miss, Master and the Old Master didn't mean it that way..."
"Tsk, although watching this show is quite addictive, I must say that your Dong family is indeed a bit dishonest. Are all these so-called aristocratic families as dishonorable as you?"
Just then, a voice came from outside the door.
Lin Shizhang pushed open the door, his lips curled in disdain and mockery.
Dong San suddenly turned to him:
"Who are you? Explain yourself, or else, it will be considered an insult to the Dong family..."
Lin Shizhang glanced at this loyal servant, then at the bewildered Dong Muchun, and smiled faintly.
"Captain Dong, you won't introduce this loyal servant of yours? Don't you know who I am?"
Dong Mutian's lips twitched, and he forced out an extremely awkward smile:
"Lin... Lin Shizhang, what are you doing here?"
Lin Shizhang?
Dong San was also stunned, not quite processing the situation.
"Captain Dong, oh no, you're no longer fit to wear that military rank, and naturally, you don't hold that position anymore. Dong Mutian, considering you were once seconded to serve under me for a period, this time I'll overlook the fact that you were unaware and let bygones be bygones!
Next time, if you insult the honor of my legion's officers, even if the Dong family backs you, the legion will not let you off!"
"Huh?"
Dong Mutian blinked, still a bit confused.
What did he mean? Who had he insulted?
Unfortunately, Lin Shizhang didn't give him a chance to explain and continued:
"Even if you're no longer part of the legion, as a fellow officer, you should show respect. Moreover, the honor officers of the legion outrank active-duty officers!"
Lin Shizhang spoke with utmost seriousness.
After all, comparing Dong Mutian to Su Ping...
Forget it, no comparison. It would be an insult to Su Ping.
As a soldier under General Zhao, Lin Shizhang had no respect for people like Dong Mutian.
On the other hand, Dong Muchun's words had earned his approval.
These so-called aristocratic families, in their pursuit of interests, had lost all sense of familial bonds.
Their little princess had been spoiled by him and his son, while Dong Muchun had always been dedicated to the Dong family, and now she was being treated like a disposable tool.
"Sir, who did I insult?"
Dong Mutian looked aggrieved.
"That pretty boy you mentioned is a hero of the legion, personally awarded the honorary rank of Major by General Zhao! Are you saying that someone acknowledged by General Zhao can be insulted by you at will?"
Lin Shizhang's words left Dong Mutian speechless for a moment, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Huh?"
Beside him, Dong San lowered his eyes, looking even more humble.
"This time, Miss Dong and Major Su jointly developed a magic potion for sale, and there's even cooperation with the legion! Do you understand now?"
"Huh?"

Dong Mutian seemed to only have that one response, staring at his younger sister with red-rimmed eyes, tears welling up. He then looked at Su Ping, who maintained a calm expression.
He glanced at Lin Shizhang, whose smile carried a hint of mockery, and then turned his head to say:
"Sister..."
"Don't say it..."
Dong Muchun forced a smile, then looked at Dong San, who was standing behind her:
"Dong San, take him away quickly. I don't want to see any of you right now, and don't let Dad call me. I don't want to answer. If he wants Tianyun's shares, I'll give them to him. But my things are not so easily taken."
"Yes, Miss."
Dong San led away Dong Mutian, who wore a bewildered expression.
Lin Shizhang also smiled:
"Miss Dong, there's no need to be so upset over such a family. They're not worth it, and then let it go. Alright, I'll take my leave now."
Dong Muchun forced a smile:
"Yes, I'll see you out.
Su Ping still had some insight:
"No need, I'll just send Uncle Lin down."
Finally, the guest room was empty except for Dong Muyun, who suddenly transformed. She stood up, feeling extremely content, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the people waiting below.
There was not a trace of the previous grievance and sadness, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Dong Muyun only regretted that there was no red wine at this moment.
Otherwise, she really wanted to take a sip.
She seemed to have suddenly shed a thousand pounds of burden, looking at Dong San, who was following Dong Mu Tian out of the building, and recited softly:
"A light boat has passed through ten thousand mountains."
"What ten thousand mountains?"
Behind him, Su Ping's voice sounded.
Dong Muyun turned her head:
"Didn't you go to send Lin Shizhang?"
"Lin Shizhang asked me to come and comfort you."
Su Ping shrugged.
"What are you standing here for? Are you trying to summon Yun Ying to kill Dong Mu Tian? It's not worth it, and no matter what, he's still your big brother..."
Looking at Su Ping before her, Dong Muyun actually revealed a smile:
"Do you think I have a problem?"
Su Ping raised an eyebrow:
"No problem? Don't pretend, there are no outsiders now. If you want to adjust, my shoulder is available for you to use."
For Su Ping, his previous life was as an orphan, and in this life, he had Su Anyong. He cherished the family's affection even more, and for him, the family's affection was one of the greatest bonds.
Therefore, although he was happy to see the struggle within the wealthy family, when he truly saw Dong Muyun being verbally abused and pressured by her own big brother, Su Ping still felt sad and heartbroken for her.
"Pfft! Little brat, whose brother are you calling me?"
Although Dong Muyun scolded, the smile on her lips never faded:
"I'm fine, Su Ping. Don't be so young. Haven't you heard? The more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying! A beautiful woman's lies and tears are the most useful weapons."
Of course, Su Ping had heard of this, but he looked at this woman with doubt:
"So I think you wouldn't lie!"
Dong Muyun was startled, and then she slapped his head:
"It's obvious that your eyes and your talent for cultivation are inversely proportional. Also, your sports car is gone."
"No, don't... I was just joking. Are you done with the most beautiful thing? What did you lie about? Did you lie about not being able to succeed?"
"I lied to you!"
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it slowly..."
"..."
Damn, the riddle-giver is indeed damnable.
Dong Mu Tian's face turned extremely ugly.
He never expected that a battle he thought he had in the bag would turn out like this.
That kid wasn't just a kept man of Dong Muyun, and moreover, where did he get such a big background?
How old was that kid? An honorary major in the legion?
Even General Zhao personally acknowledged him.
This time, Lin Lei personally came to show his support.
This person had founded a company with Dong Muyun.
With such connections, Dong Mu Tian somewhat understood why Dong Muyun had been so eager before, making him think that this kid was being kept by Dong Muyun.
Thinking of this, Dong Mu Tian finally said:
"Dong San, you help me investigate what's going on later. This Su Ping..."
Dong San really wanted to say, why are you only thinking of investigating now? It's too late now.
Why didn't you do it earlier?
However, facing this young master, what could he say?
He could only nod in agreement.
At this moment, just as they were about to walk out the door, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Su Ping?! Are you a friend of Xiaoping?"
Dong Mu Tian's eyebrows furrowed, and he was about to react to this name. He raised his head and looked at the speaker.
The leader was an old man, with more than ten people following behind him.
This time, Dong Mu Tian was truly not going to be arrogant.
Before he could answer, the old man in front of him smiled and said:
"I was just about to call Xiaoping. Now, I don't need this kid to come out and welcome you. Friend, where is Su Ping?"
It was true that after this old man came over, Dong Mu Tian looked at him and suddenly felt familiar.
But he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
He just felt familiar, but he still said:
"The building behind, on the sixth floor. However, without an ID card, you can't go up..."
"Hehe, thank you for the reminder, thank you for the reminder."
The old man smiled and thanked Dong Mu Tian. Then, he walked inside.
"Teacher, I'm going up to ask that kid for an explanation!"
Someone beside the old man spoke.
"That's right, hahaha, he told us but didn't tell the teacher. This kid didn't put the vice-president in his eyes, haha!"
"You bunch of brats, don't stir up trouble here! My relationship with Su Ping, can you brats meddle with it?"
The laughter gradually faded.
Dong Mu Tian did not move again, but turned his head in doubt, looking at this group of people.
The leading old man seemed to sense something and turned his head to smile at him, nodding.
Dong Mu Tian blinked.
Then, without leaving, he took out his phone and searched for something on the website.
Vice-President?
This title, in various places of Dragon Country, had an unquestionable meaning.
Soon, he found the same face as the old man from earlier on his phone.
Then, Dong Mu Tian stared at the name and position in the picture, as if he had seen a ghost.
Watching the match took up some time, sorry sorry.
