As soon as Mu Cheng said this, his nerves tensed up.
Mu Chen Zhou glanced in Meng Jingyu's direction.
Seeing that Meng Jingyu had no intention of leaving, she retreated to a corner and answered the phone.
"Mr. Mu Cheng, I'm Mu Chen Zhou. You're too polite."
In fact, Mu Cheng was just a servant in charge of all Mu Heqing's trips.
But because of Mu Heqing, no one would really treat him as a servant.
If they wanted to see Mu Heqing, they had to go through Mu Cheng.
"Master has finalized the final time of the heir assessment." Mu Cheng's tone was calm. "I happened to have something to discuss with your mother today, so I decided to tell you in advance."
Mu Chen Zhou's eyes suddenly focused. "Grandpa is going to choose an heir?"
This matter had spread in the Family Mu as early as a few years ago.
It was directly skipping Chen Zhou's father's generation. The candidates were all above the grandchildren's generation.
It was just that Mu Heqing had never made a definite statement. This time, he was completely open about it.
Mu Chen Zhou's breathing quickened slightly.
"Yes, you're the first to be notified." Mu Cheng smiled slightly. "The assessment is more difficult. The specific criteria will be out in a few days. Please prepare for it, Young Master Chen Zhou."
Before Chen Zhou could react, Mu Cheng had already hung up the phone.
He was stunned for a long time.
A few minutes later, the phone rang again.
It was Mrs. Mu.
"Chen Zhou, you're the first to be notified. This means that it's good news." Mrs. Mu could not hide her excitement. "Your grandfather must have noticed you."
Family Mu was a big family and had a big business.
In Mu Chenzhou's generation alone, there were a total of 30 direct disciples.
She had never seen Mu Heqing close to anyone.
Mu Chen Zhou was not the most outstanding. There were at least three people before him.
One of them was a woman.
Mrs. Mu did not expect that Mu Cheng would personally inform Chen Zhou about the successor assessment.
"You have an important guest over there, so I won't disturb you." Mrs. Mu was very pleased. "After you pass the assessment, you can start to inherit Family Mu."
Mu Chen Zhou frowned as she looked at the phone that was hung up. She was not as optimistic as Mrs. Mu.
He thought for a moment and walked over to Meng Jing Yu.
The man was wearing a dark green Han embroidered cardigan jacket and holding a folding fan in his hand.
It was ancient and fragrant.
Compared to this bustling international metropolis, it seemed out of place.
However, his appearance was very outstanding, and his attire made him look even more charming.
The passersby couldn't help but turn their heads.
Mu Chen Zhou stepped forward and said apologetically, "Mr. Jing Yu, I'm sorry that you couldn't get that tulip."
"No need." Meng Jing Yu paused and suddenly asked, "Do you know that young lady?"
"I know her, but we're not close." Mu Chen Zhou saw that Meng Jing Yu didn't care and sighed in relief. "She was originally Family Ying's adopted daughter, but now the adoption has been canceled."
"I see." Meng Jing Yu lost interest.
However, she was really good-looking.
Mu Chen Zhou said again, "If Mr. Jing Yu really likes that tulip, I can ask someone to go to Island O to take a look."
"No need." Meng Jing Yu still said the same two words. "You do what you need to do. I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
He spoke with a sense of ancient people.
Mu Chen Zhou couldn't figure out his attitude, so she nodded. "Okay, if Mr. Jing Yu needs anything, please contact me."
A Porsche stopped at the entrance of the hotel.
The woman next to Meng Jing Yu opened the door for him and he got in.
After getting in the car, the woman's expression changed and became stern. "Sir, that snow ganoderma …"
"I didn't say that I gave up." Meng Jing Yu waved the fan in his hand and smiled faintly. "While he's not with that little girl, send a few attendants to snatch it."
The woman respectfully said, "Yes, sir."
They weren't in a hurry to return to the capital.
It was worth staying for a snow ganoderma that could bring people back to life.
Meng Jing Yu murmured softly, "If I knew that there would be so many troublesome things, I would've taken action before the auction started."
He wasn't an ancient doctor, but an ancient martial artist.
In the early years, because most of Family Meng's direct descendants were in poor health, Family Meng specially discussed with a family in the ancient martial arts world to let a few genius ancient martial artists marry into the family.
The child born would have the surname Meng.
In the future, Family Meng could treat this ancient martial arts family without charge.
Of course, Family Meng wouldn't provide extremely rare medicinal herbs.
Family Meng didn't need money, because money was far less important to them than medicinal herbs.
But that didn't mean that Family Meng didn't lack money.
Even Family Wu, a family of fortune tellers, went into business for money.
However, the head of Family Meng strictly adhered to the wishes of his ancestors and resolutely refused to step into the secular world. He had always been in the ancient medicine world, and only a few family members went out.
Every medicinal herb had a sky-high price.
Meng Jing Yu was the descendant of one of the genius ancient martial artists.
Logically speaking, he should be from the ancient martial arts family, but because his father married into the family, he took Family Meng's surname.
Ancient martial artists had always been domineering.
If they could solve it with their hands, they would never use money.
When he went out, he didn't even bring a bank card, let alone cash.
Meng Jing Yu didn't expect that a little girl with no family background in Hucheng would take a fancy to the snow ganoderma.
And that man …
He coughed softly a few times, his gaze deep.
"Sir, but that young master of Family Meng —" The woman frowned, her tone filled with disgust. "He's really useless. He can't even bear to spend the money for the snow ganoderma. If he knows who you are, he'll regret it sooner or later."
"You're wrong about him." Meng Jing Yu closed his paper fan and smiled. "He's just a direct descendant of Family Meng. He's not the true heir of Family Meng. Only the true heir has the right to enter the ancient medicine world."
"It's understandable that he can't bear to spend a few million on me."
Meng Jing Yu narrowed his eyes, paused, and said calmly, "It's best if we don't use our hands. The little girl likes flowers and plants. Ask the people in the capital to send a few pots over and exchange them with her."
The woman obeyed and started to contact the people in the capital.

After the auction ended, most of the people left.
Fu Mingcheng and Madam Fu naturally saw Fu Yunshen, but they ignored him and left.
Fu Yihan wanted to look for Fu Yunshen, but he didn't see him, so he could only give up.
"Xiao Ruan, let's go back." Fu Yihan put on his coat and turned around. When he saw Su Ruan rummaging around, he was stunned. "Xiao Ruan?"
"My card!" Su Ruan also looked under the chair, but she couldn't find it. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red. "Yihan, my bank card is missing."
"What bank card?" Fu Yihan's expression turned serious. "Did Mom and Dad give it to you? It's okay if you lose it. You can apply for a new one. "
"No, I brought it over from the capital." As Su Ruan spoke, her tears fell. "That anonymous black gold card from Luolang Bank."
Fu Yihan's expression changed slightly. "You lost it?"
"It must be here." Su Ruan lifted her skirt and ran to the dining table to search. "I remember that I brought it here. Why is it missing?"
Luolang Bank had an anonymous black gold card. It was a symbol of status and was only issued in the capital. It was a limited edition.
However, most people wouldn't put a lot of money in this card. It was just a souvenir.
It was an anonymous card, so it would be troublesome if it was lost.
However, Su Ruan only had one black gold card from Luolang Bank. She didn't care about the cards from other banks.
Especially when she could show it off. After all, Hu City didn't have it.
This time, it was because of the auction that she brought the card along and transferred the money to the bank.
Su Ruan was about to go crazy. "Yihan, I still have 10 million yuan in my card. What if I lose it?"
"Don't worry." Fu Yihan walked to the front desk. "Please check the surveillance footage in the hall. My wife lost her bank card. It's very important."
"Okay, Young Master. Please wait a moment."
The other party was a member of the Fu family. The receptionist didn't dare to delay. She quickly contacted the surveillance room and asked for the surveillance footage.
Su Ruan walked over in her high heels and watched the surveillance footage with Fu Yihan.
Suddenly, she said, "Stop, here."
The receptionist pressed the pause button.
On the screen, Ying Zijin stopped for a while when she passed by Su Ruan before leaving her seat.
When Su Ruan saw this, she remembered that she had tried to trip Ying Zijin on purpose. However, she didn't succeed and her foot was stepped on.
Besides that, she didn't have any close contact with anyone else.
The surveillance footage didn't show that she lost her black card.
However, she used the card during the auction.
It could only be that she lost it when the auction was about to end.
"It's her." Su Ruan sneered without thinking. "I knew it. She's just an adopted daughter who doesn't even have a family. How could she have one million yuan? She must have taken my card. "
Anyone could use an anonymous black card.
Fu Yihan fell silent. "Xiao Ruan, don't worry. This is a misunderstanding. Let's look for her."
"There's no misunderstanding." Su Ruan sneered. "I heard from Family Ying that she's used to being a thief. She's still here, right? Give me her room number. I'll go look for her. "
She said the last sentence to the receptionist.
The receptionist was a little stunned. "I'm sorry, Young Madam. The customer's information is confidential. Please don't make things difficult for us."
"Do you know what my card is? It's from Luolang Bank. There's ten million yuan in it. You can't afford it even if you sell yourself. "Su Ruan didn't listen." Tell me, which room is she in? Call a few more security guards. "

Presidential Suite 908.
Ying Zijin was talking to Rita on the phone.
"Hey, it's already 10: 30 pm. Where are you? I see that the scenery in Hu Cheng is pretty good. Do you want to come out for a walk? "
Rita was walking around somewhere when she suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, this is the food stall you mentioned? It looks quite delicious. "
Ying Zijin was about to speak when she glanced at the door. She suddenly narrowed her eyes.
A few seconds later, before she could reply, Rita said, "Hello? Did you disconnect? Can't you surf well? "
"I have something to do. Give me a moment." Ying Zijin hung up the phone and got up.
At the same time, the doorbell rang.
Ying Zijin pressed the doorknob and opened the door.
Outside the door, Su Ruan raised his hand.
