Chapter 110

"Um... Mr. Mu, have you... known my brother-in-law before?"

Finally, Qin Xiaomeng couldn't help but ask.

Seeing the Mu family put on such a grand display, even going so far as to host this lavish dinner for Chu Tianhe, Qin Xiaomeng was flooded with questions that kept surfacing.

She wasn’t naive; she could tell that the Mu family was deliberately currying favor with Chu Tianhe.

But no matter how Qin Xiaomeng looked at it, she couldn’t see anything extraordinary about her brother-in-law that would warrant such attention from such a wealthy tycoon like the Mu family.

"Well..."

Mu Sihai was taken aback by Qin Xiaomeng’s sudden question.

He had already discussed this matter with Mu Xue before. Since Chu Tianhe hadn’t revealed his identity in Jiangzhou City, it was clear he was intentionally keeping it hidden. Mu Xue had realized this and ordered the tech department to erase all information about Chu Tianhe.

Both Mu Sihai and Mu Xue knew very well that under no circumstances could Chu Tianhe’s identity be exposed.

Now that Qin Xiaomeng asked, it was obvious she didn’t know who Chu Tianhe really was, leaving Mu Sihai at a loss for how to respond.

"Of course, our Mu family knows Mr. Chu!"

Just as Mu Sihai found himself stuck, Mu Xue broke the silence with a smile.

Her words immediately made Mu Sihai tense up, his gaze snapping sharply toward Mu Xue. He truly had no idea how she intended to answer this question.

If she didn’t answer well, it would surely irritate Chu Tianhe.

At the same time, Chu Tianhe raised an eyebrow, his eyes settling on Mu Xue. He wanted to see how this brilliant and composed businesswoman would explain.

"Back when I was studying abroad, my father came to visit me. We happened to be taken hostage by armed militants. Fortunately, Mr. Chu intervened and saved our lives. He is a lifesaver to our Mu family!"

Mu Xue smiled lightly, her words flowing smoothly and confidently, with no hesitation—clearly a well-prepared story.

"Tonight’s dinner hosted by our Mu family is just a small gesture to express our gratitude and thank Mr. Chu for saving our lives back then."

"I see!" Qin Xiaomeng glanced at Chu Tianhe. Knowing that he had a military background, she had no reason to doubt Mu Xue’s explanation.

"Brother-in-law, since you saved Mu Xue, why never mention it to me?"

---

"You made me worry all this time, and I was even afraid I wouldn’t get into the Tianhong Building!"

Qin Xiaomeng looked at Chu Tianhe reproachfully, feeling somewhat uneasy. If she had known about this connection earlier, why hadn’t he told her? She had wasted so much worry for nothing.

But as Qin Xiaomeng withdrew her gaze, her brow furrowed once again, and her eyes turned back to Mu Xue.

She could understand repaying a life debt with such a dinner.

Yet the Mu family’s attitude toward Chu Tianhe was far more than simple gratitude. Even if it was repayment, there was no need to be so servile, was there?

This was clearly the Mu family currying favor with Chu Tianhe!

Qin Xiaomeng frowned deeply, just about to question further when Mu Xue smiled and spoke first.

"Back then, Mr. Chu didn’t just save the Mu family. He also saved a very important figure—a person of great respect and influence!"

Mu Xue’s words made it clear: the Mu family was currying favor with Chu Tianhe because of that important person’s prestige.
