Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 665 - 88: Working as a Greeter is Very Hard

I just knew Li Ya calling me back meant nothing good!

Upon hearing this man’s question before her, Li Mumu realized that her own mother must have seen some visions of the future again.

A serious Witch would start by scaring you with a Prophecy and then have you spend some Money to drink some Magic Potion in order to dispel calamities and solve problems, not unlike fortune-tellers in The East.

Li Ya, of course, is a serious Witch, but as a person, she isn’t so serious.

As long as she is not disturbed from her research, she is indifferent to everything else outside.

Only when her own future destiny is affected does she take the initiative to gently untangle the threads of fate.

In Buddhist terms, this is called not being tainted by karma.

She must have foreseen that Li Mumu would meet someone from the Mu Family today.

But didn’t my father say that he was from a branch too distantly related to have any connection with us?

Having been back for so long, I haven’t seen anyone from King Mu’s Mansion come knocking either.

Could it be as Li Ya said, that when you’re poor in a bustling market, nobody asks about you, but when you’re wealthy deep in the mountains, distant relatives appear?

"I have the surname Li, with an unworthy given name that’s not worth mentioning."

Li Mumu thought to herself that with her current disguise, if he could still see anything, then he really would be a genius.

However, she suddenly realized that her current appearance was actually modeled after her own biological father.

Including this pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

During her makeup, she hadn’t considered this point, and even Li Ya’s reminder wasn’t taken to heart.

Tsk, careless of me.

"The surname... Li?"

A flicker of puzzlement flashed through Mu Yuheng’s eyes; the boy in front of him didn’t look exactly like his little cousin, but there was at least a seventy to eighty percent resemblance in their eyes and eyebrows, especially that bookish Foreigner look with glasses, which he remembered quite clearly.

How many years ago was that?

If he hadn’t heard the news about the Imperial Jade Seal and recalled some old memories from the past, he would have almost forgotten that he had such a young cousin so far overseas.

After the old family head got older, he liked to hide in his room alone, fiddling with relics from the past.

He was young at the time, and when he saw the old family head lying in the rocking chair, holding a photo and staring into space, he asked out of curiosity.

The old family head said it was his cousin who years ago had gone overseas to deal with a Federal munitions company, making great sacrifices to ensure the supply of arms for the Western Expedition Army. All these years, he never returned but occasionally sent back a few letters, saying that he had settled down across the Money.

The person in that photo was that cousin with his family of three.

Dressed just like Foreigners.

"The surname... Li..."

Mu Yuheng took another careful look at the young man before him, feeling somewhat nostalgic.

If this had been several decades ago, going to the streets dressed as a sham Foreigner would have been seen as avant-garde.

Nowadays, more and more people liked to dress up like this.

The era was developing too rapidly.

King Mu’s Mansion... Who says there is a King Mu’s Mansion now? The younger generation doesn’t want to go back, and of course, you can’t blame them for this.

Watching Mu Yuheng walk into the venue, Li Mumu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Good thing she wasn’t exposed.

She had no interest in acknowledging this relative.

Her mother had the ability to make her own way in the world, no need to ingratiate herself with the influential.

Moreover, her grandfather never returned in his lifetime, and her father never stepped foot in King Mu’s Mansion after returning, so if there wasn’t something else going on, Li Mumu wouldn’t believe it.

"Hello..."

Hearing someone calling, Li Mumu instantly snapped back and saw a handsome man and beautiful woman standing in front of her.

She unconsciously accepted the invitation, her fingers suddenly stiffening.

The probing gazes of two pairs landed on her at the same time.

Their looks were like little knives, swiftly scanning her from head to toe.

Under the scrutiny of these sharp eyes, Li Mumu felt as though her every guise was being stripped away.

And when she saw the name on the invitation, she knew it wasn’t just her imagination.

Cheng.

The Cheng Family!

"So it’s the young master and young mistress of the Cheng Family. This humble one has been negligent, please forgive me."

Li Mumu apologized while on heightened alert.

Damn, two Advisors!

Two human flesh scanners!

"You aren’t from the Shen Family, are you?"

The leading young man showed a warm smile: "I am Cheng Feng. May I ask how to address the lady?"

Damn it...

Li Mumu thought to herself that she mustn’t have consulted the calendar before leaving today; encountering Advisors, no matter your reaction, they could gather useful intelligence.

"I’m just a menial servant of the Shen Family, my lowly name is unworthy of mention. Please come inside!"

Cheng Feng smiled, did not persist in troubling Li Mumu, and turned to his sister, saying: "Tonight’s banquet is indeed a treacherous feast, I can’t even figure out a mere gatekeeper."

The young girl approached Li Mumu, squinting her eyes and closely observing for a while before saying in a low voice: "I am Cheng Xuefei, a classmate of Shen Qingxi, the third young mistress of the Shen Family. I’m somewhat familiar with the Shen Family. Who is hosting this charity auction tonight?"

Li Mumu smiled without saying a word.

Cheng Xuefei’s expression grew more serious by the moment, glancing at her brother and then turning back to say softly: "If Qingxi is still alive, why hasn’t she contacted me? Does she suspect that I took her Jade Seal?"

I haven’t said a damn thing! Did you see it with your asshole eyes?

I hate you cultivating Advisors the most!

Li Mumu now finally understood why Shen Qingxi always behaved so mysteriously, keeping to herself and not even sharing with her own.

She truly did take precautions against Cheng Xuefei and was quite aware of the capabilities of an Advisor.

Now, even I don’t know what she’s up to, let alone you getting any information out of me.

Seeing that they couldn’t dig out any information from Li Mumu, the Cheng siblings could no longer linger at the doorway. They gave Li Mumu a nod and a smile, then entered through the gate.

There shouldn’t be more visitors, right?

Li Mumu glanced at the guest list, and there weren’t many people left who hadn’t arrived.

But that didn’t rule out the possibility of unexpected guests showing up unannounced, like that person from King Mu’s Mansion just now.

Just as this thought crossed her mind, another group of people approached.

Foreigners.

Looking at their tall top hats and big beards, Li Mumu understood.

Representatives of the Joshua People.

They had finally arrived.

Although the Joshua People weren’t on the guest list prepared by Shen Qingxi, they showed up anyway.

And there were quite a few of them.

She took the business card handed to her and saw it read "President of Weimar Business Association, Slander David"

"I’m an old friend of Mr. Shen Zhidong, and I’ve maintained a long-term business relationship with the Shen Family," said the white-bearded old man with a smile. "I heard that the Shen Family is hosting a charity auction. Though I wasn’t invited, I still wanted to come and see. Please inform the head of the household."
