Chapter 136

After all, the Mu family was one of the top ten wealthiest families in the Great Xia Kingdom, with abundant financial resources. There were countless people eager to maintain ties with them. Chu Tianhe’s gesture was nothing out of the ordinary.

Yet, upon hearing Chu Tianhe’s words, Mu Xue’s heart surged with turbulent emotions. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she stood stunned for a full two seconds before she regained her composure.

Chu Tianhe had presented a gift—what did that signify?

It meant that the recent affairs handled by the Mu family had greatly pleased the Lord of the Pantheon. As for ginseng, it was hardly something the Mu family coveted. Whether it was wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain or even a thousand-year-old wild ginseng, the Mu family barely gave it a second glance.

But the true significance lay in who the gift came from.

“Thank you, Mr. Chu,” Mu Xue said, snapping back to herself. She stepped forward promptly, accepting the gift from Chu Tianhe’s hands with both hands, her graceful fingers brushing aside the strands of hair at her temple. A gentle smile, warm as a spring breeze, blossomed across her face.

Her breathtaking beauty, her elegant movements, and that smile capable of toppling kingdoms and cities—at this moment, Mu Xue was like a goddess on the moon, pure and noble, stunning beyond compare.

“I will personally deliver this gift to my father,” she said with a smile, offering Chu Tianhe a polite acknowledgment. Then, she added, “Mr. Chu, the amusement park at the South China Mu Villa has been fully renovated. We used only super eco-friendly materials—absolutely pollution-free. When do you plan to move in?”

In Jiangzhou, the Mu family had handled two matters for Chu Tianhe: the renovation of the South China Mu Villa and arranging for his daughter’s enrollment in kindergarten.

Both tasks were executed flawlessly, earning Chu Tianhe’s approval. Mu Xue naturally seized the opportunity to reinforce her achievements, reminding him that the villa renovation was now complete.

“So soon?” Chu Tianhe was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

The South China Mu Villa covered a vast area with over eighty villas in total. Following Chu Tianhe’s instructions, all villas except the flagship one were demolished to transform the space into a playground for his daughter.

This was no small project. Chu Tianhe had estimated that even with expedited work, the renovation would take at least one or two months.

Yet, only seven days had passed, and the amusement park was already finished. The speed at which the South China Mu Villa was completed truly caught Chu Tianhe off guard.

“Brother-in-law, what villa?” Qin Xiaomeng, overhearing their conversation, looked utterly puzzled. She had no idea about the villa.

Mu Xue was momentarily taken aback. She hadn’t expected Qin Xiaomeng to be unaware of the villa. Clearly, Chu Tianhe had not informed her, or perhaps he didn’t know how to explain it.

At that moment, Mu Xue glanced at Chu Tianhe, who was frowning slightly, confirming her suspicions.

“It’s like this,” Mu Xue explained, “because Mr. Chu has done us the favor of helping the Mu family, we specially built a villa in Jiangzhou and are gifting it to him.”

“Gifting?” Qin Xiaomeng was stunned, her face full of astonishment.

“Yes, Miss Qin, you heard correctly—it’s a gift!” Mu Xue emphasized once more. A flash of resolute spirit sparkled in her beautiful eyes as she adopted a commanding posture and looked directly at Qin Xiaomeng. “With the Mu family’s financial strength, giving away a villa is hardly a big deal. Don’t you agree, Miss Qin?”
