If I wanted to harm you, you wouldn't exist in this world anymore.
What did he mean by that?!
Mu Wanrou understood a few points.
Firstly, this man was very powerful and could easily crush her to death.
Second, this man had her life in his hands, which was enough to kill her.
Third, at least for now, this man was not her enemy. As for whether he was her friend or not, that was another story.
Mu Wanrou's uneasy heart calmed down a little. She sat down on the sofa and carefully observed the man's every move.
Fifteen minutes had passed by the time the man finished his cup of tea, but he was not in a hurry to speak.
She did not know if he was deliberately whetting her appetite, but he poured himself another cup of tea and calmly savored it.
He drank three cups of tea in a row, yet he did not say a word to break the silence.
Mu Wanrou felt like she was sitting on pins and needles in this suffocating silence. Seeing that he was about to pour another cup of tea after finishing the third cup, she could not help but ask carefully, "You are …"
"Young people really can't keep their cool. It's only been three cups of tea, yet you're already so impatient. "
The middle-aged man snorted, dissatisfied with her impatience.
"You … Are you the one who sent me the email?" Mu Wanrou changed her tone and used honorifics.
She was in awe of this middle-aged man.
The man smiled with squinted eyes and lightly reminded her, "According to seniority, you should call me 'fourth uncle'!"
"Fourth uncle?"
Mu Wanrou's eyes widened in confusion.
Fourth uncle?
Isn't that …
Mu Lianjue?!
Mu Sheng had three wives. According to the ranking, Mu Liancheng was the second, while the fourth was Mu Lianjue, the son of his third wife.
However, Grandpa Mu had always paid attention to the distinction between the legitimate wife and the concubine.
Mu Lianjue was a concubine's son, so he and his third wife had always lived in the Mu residence in the south of the city.
Speaking of this residence, there were a total of five residences.
The main residence was located in the most prominent location in the center of the capital. There were four other residences in the east, south, west, and north of the city for the illegitimate sons and the collateral relatives.
Only the direct descendants had the right to live in the main residence.
Fourth uncle, could this man be Mu Lianjue?
Mu Wanrou pondered for a moment before she uttered the name. "Mu … Lianjue?"
"Impudent!" Mu Lianjue's expression changed as he slammed the teacup on the table. With a loud bang, the tea splashed everywhere, startling Mu Wanrou.
Mu Lianjue's eagle-like eyes pierced her body. His face was overflowing with anger as he reprimanded, "Is my name something you have the right to call? Without manners's's! "
She immediately lowered her head in guilt. "I'm sorry! It's my fault for not knowing proper etiquette. ........
This man was indeed Mu Lianjue.
She suddenly recalled that she had seen the Mu family's family photo before. In it, she had seen this man's face standing to the left of Mu Sheng.
It was just that the photo was taken a few years ago, so the man's face in it was still young. Hence, she did not recall it at first.
The anger on his face did not dissipate. "Outrageous."
"I'm sorry, fourth uncle. This is my first time meeting you in person, and I was impressed by your magnanimity. That's why I lost my composure; please forgive me!" Mu Wanrou sincerely apologized, bringing out the good manners she had learned in the Mu family.
She heard that Mu Lianjue was a ruthless person.
