Chapter 181: Calm Before the Storm, Who Wins and Who Loses

d went to the graveyard, today is Liu Yiy's death anniversary..."Jun Zhimu originally planned to accompany her back to the Qiao family, but he heard that he was going to pay respects to his deceased e...Master Jun, your brother has been lying in the hospital for six years as a living dead man, and you took advantage of the situation to steal his beloved woman... You truly deserve a miserable end!

Qiao Bao'er's face turned pale. She didn't understand what Mo Gao was saying.

But his words, “May the shepherd of you... meet a wretched end,” sent a chill through her heart. They sounded like a curse.

For a moment, the faces of everyone standing in the Tang family hall turned grim. Jun Zhimu remained silent, his eyes narrowed as he stared intensely at Mo Gao before him.

Perhaps finally a bit afraid, Mo Gao spat out some harsh words and turned around, leaving in a huff.

"Mo, stop right there!"

Lu Qinan, however, didn't want to let him go so easily. His voice turned cold as he sternly rebuked him, saying, "This Mo Gao dared to insult someone out of the blue and then wanted to just leave It depends on who he insults! He must have eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gall!"

The two Tang family bodyguards, who were originally standing on either side, simultaneously looked nervously towards Mrs. Tang. Should they help stop Mo Gao

Mrs. Tang and the other members of the Tang family were filled with trepidation, their lips tightly pressed together, hesitant to speak out of turn. The bodyguards, having not received any instructions, dared not act without permission.

Although this is the Tang family's home turf, nobody wants to die by angering Jun Zhi Mu.

It's best to avoid getting involved in anything related to your family.

Lu Qinian's face darkened, watching the obese figure disappear into the crowded banquet crowd, he couldn't help but curse, "After eating some sweet dates these past few months, they dare to be so arrogant."

Is Mo Gao either insane or does he have someone backing him up

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy and awkward.

The remaining people were at a loss, the bodyguards on either side stiffened, Mrs. Tang could no longer manage the facade of a smile, yet outside, the lilting sound of a violin concerto filled the air. She wanted to take a step and leave now, but felt it wouldn't be appropriate. It was truly a dilemma.

That damn Mo Gao!

Offended Master Jun and now you want to implicate their Tang family as well!!

"Mo Gao's affairs have nothing to do with our Tang family. He doesn't know what luck he's had, but recently his investment projects are booming. Who knows, maybe he's doing some shady business."

Tang Xiaodai forced a flattering smile, trying to belittle Mo Gao, her uncle, in order to ease the tension. "… You guys don't get too angry, this kind of person will eventually get what they deserve."

Karmic retribution.

Retribution, this word now brought up, means something completely different.

'You, the shepherd… you truly deserve a horrible death.' Mo Gao had just said that Junzhimu deserved retribution.

Mrs. Tang felt that her daughter was too impertinent and couldn't speak properly. She glared at her fiercely, telling her to shut up immediately so she wouldn't cause trouble.

Junzhi Mu kept silent, and his sudden words only deepened the already oppressive atmosphere.

Qiaobaer felt the hand on her waist was a little too tight, constricting and uncomfortable. Jun Zhimu, usually as cold as ice, had been scolded to his face - something that rarely happened. Apart from his grandfather, who else dared to speak to him like that

But she knew that Junzhi Mu wasn't the type to get angry when someone scolded him. He would think it wasn't worth his time and wouldn't even put the person in his eyes, so he wouldn't care what outsiders said.

But now he held her so tight, like he actually cared.

"Hey, Lu Qinian, what are you doing here Didn't you say you were going to look for the child with Pei Haoran"

Jo Bao'er's voice broke the heavy silence. Her tone was natural, as if she had completely ignored what had just happened, and she forcefully changed the subject, "Has Pei Haoran found his son"

Lu Qinan was taken aback by her sudden shout.

His eyes swept across the surrounding people, and in a tacit understanding, he replied, "I found her. Xiaoyi is playing at the amusement park, and Pei Haoran is now with his son."

Qiao Bao'er raised her eyebrows, naturally tugged at the arm of the man beside her, "Didn't you say you were going to bring that little boy over to get acquainted with me"

Lu Qinian didn't answer this time because Qiao Bao'er was asking about Jun Zhimu.

Mrs. Tang and her daughter both had strained expressions on their faces, stealing glances in their direction but not daring to look directly at them.

"I don't like the food here, you should call Pei Haoran to take the children out to eat with us."

"Xiaoyi was taken back to the Pei family. See you next time."

After a long while, the man beside her finally spoke in a low voice. He had indeed said that he wanted to cultivate Qiao Baier's maternal instincts by having her interact with children beforehand.

"Lord, can I leave I don't like it here. I want to go out and find Zhu Xiao for a meal. If you two are busy, just send someone to take me there." Qiao Bao'er took the opportunity to bargain.

The Lord's shepherd was still preoccupied with the matter of Mo Gao. Hearing this, he lowered his gaze and glared at her.

"Which bodyguard can keep an eye on you" His voice was deep, a little stifled.

Let her go, without a second thought!

Joe Bao'er pursed her lips, how did this fire burn to her head.

Now she didn't need to ease the tension anymore. He Jun, the master, pulled her along and strode out.

Lu Qinan took a step, also leaving. Looking at Qiao Bao'er's frustrated appearance, he was particularly heartless and smiled mischievously.

But speaking of which, Qiao Bao'er this vixen is still somewhat useful, especially when encountering things that are hard to solve. Both he and Pei Haoran would be the first to think of using her as a shield.

Mrs. Tang saw that Lord Jun and his retinue left on their own, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people are really difficult to get along with. They have to think carefully about every word and action, living in constant fear.

Thinking this way, Mrs. Tang hated Mo Gao even more.

"Mom, what do you think is going on with Mo Gao recently I see he's riding high these days. He's gotten too arrogant, hasn't he How dare he curse Jun Zhi Mu…"

Although Tang Xiaodao was haughty, she also knew the importance of things, and... her eyes kept following Jun Zhimu and them as they left.

"

Biting her lip, she said in a voice full of anger, 'That idiot Tang Yu's girlfriend actually married Jun Zhimu! That shameless thing must have used some tricks to climb into Jun Zhimu's bed.'

"

Seeing how kindly her shepherd treats her, I feel both anger and jealousy.

Mrs. Tang couldn't understand either. In their eyes, this Qiao Baoer was just a wild girl who used to hang around the Tang family all day. They didn't bother to investigate her identity, only knowing that she was Tang Yu's playmate. They were surprised that someone as reclusive as Tang Yu had a female companion. After that, they constantly mocked Tang Yu, saying that this reclusive man couldn't find a proper wife like those from noble families, and that he was more suited to be with a wild girl like her.

And now, the wild girl of old has become the woman of your flock.

"Use your head, don't mess with Qiao Baoer."

Lady Tang lowered her voice to remind him, then without further delay, tidied her makeup and walked towards the banquet hall. Her face still wore its usual composed and graceful demeanor.

She has dominated the business world for decades. Her husband is meek, so it can be said that the Tang family's origins were built mainly by this woman. She is shrewd and always feels that something is not quite right.

Those shallow women, out of jealousy, would simply think that she was scheming, climbing into the bed of Jun Mu and getting pregnant with his child.

In fact, the bed of the eldest grandson of the Jun family, an ordinary woman hadn't even climbed onto it before she was beaten to a bloody pulp.

Being pregnant out of wedlock, getting married into his family - it was all a joke. When has Jun Zhi Mu ever paid attention to such petty threats Anyone who dared to provoke him met a terrible end.

...unless the shepherd himself wills it.

Thinking about this, Madam Tang's face grew grave. At the same time, she heard Mo Gao's strange curse echoing in her ears. After pondering for a while, anxiety crept into her heart and she murmured to herself.

"One looks at the effort Jun went through to marry Tang Yu's little girlfriend. What kind of games are these young people trying to play..."

Over the years, Junzhi Mu has treated the Tang family with preferential treatment and support, even speaking to them politely. All of this is because of Tang Yu's reasons.

Now...

Lady Tang looked at the lively banquet before her, meant for her own celebration. Suddenly, a sense of unease washed over her. She sensed a hidden struggle taking place, a power play where the victor and vanquished were yet to be determined. If this conflict spilled over into the Tang family, it would be nothing short of cataclysmic.
