"How is it?"
Mu Weifeng didn't answer.
Mrs. Mu wasn't in a hurry either. She poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
For Mu Weifeng, his health was the most important.
Especially when he had a sister, Mu Yuxi, to take care of.
Family Mu's earliest history could be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. For more than a thousand years, there had only been two female heads of the family.
Although Mu Yuxi was also very outstanding, Mrs. Mu didn't take her seriously at all.
In her opinion, Mu Yuxi would be married off in the future.
After she got married, no matter how good she was, she could only be a housewife like her.
However, after waiting for five minutes, Mrs. Mu still didn't get a reply from Mu Weifeng.
She was impatient and put down the teacup heavily. "Weifeng, are you still thinking about it?"
"I'm not thinking about it." Mu Weifeng finished writing the last word and put down the pen before saying lightly, "I don't agree."
"You don't agree?" Mrs. Mu was slightly shocked and her face darkened. "Didn't you compete for the position of successor just to see Family Meng? Why don't you agree? "
Mu Weifeng coughed a few more times and smiled. "People can die, but they can't die without pride. Fifth Aunt, your backbone is already bent. Don't think of others as the same as you."
With one sentence, Mrs. Mu's face instantly turned green.
Her chest heaved up and down heavily as she sneered, "You're about to die, what pride do you still have? Fine, since you don't agree, then I'll see if you can last until the end of the assessment."
Mrs. Mu didn't want to stay for another second. She got up and left.
She had just taken a step when Mu Weifeng stopped her.
Mrs. Mu stopped in her tracks but didn't turn back. "Why, have you thought it through?"
"Fifth Aunt has used this tea set. I don't need it anymore." Mu Weifeng changed a piece of paper and said gently, "Please take it away, Fifth Aunt."
Mrs. Mu turned back fiercely. She was so angry that she couldn't think straight.
She walked back, picked up the tea set on the stone table, and left in a hurry.

ISC training camp.
After lunch.
Teng Yunmeng was lying on the sofa and burping comfortably.
A few seconds later, she suddenly straightened up and said seriously, "I've thought about it. Zijin, you were too impulsive just now. Xiuyan is the eldest daughter of the Xiu family. Do you know the Xiu family?"
"I know." Ying Zijin was looking at her phone. "He's one of the richest families in the capital."
"Yes." Teng Yunmeng sighed. "She's the kind of lady who has hundreds of servants at home. We really can't compare with her."
Ying Zijin didn't raise her head. She looked pensive as she said, "A rich and powerful family like the Xiu Family would also let their daughter enter the entertainment circle?"
"I don't know about that, but Xiu Yan is so favored, the Xiu family will agree to whatever she wants, right?" Teng Yunmeng thought for a moment and shrugged. "I think she's just playing with her looks. Even if she can't survive in the entertainment industry, she can still go back and inherit her family fortune. She's a winner in life."
Ying Zijin said faintly, "Not necessarily."
Teng Yunmeng didn't understand what "not necessarily" meant. She was very optimistic. "It's fine as long as we don't interact with her. Anyway, her fans are quite crazy. Fortunately, her fans weren't here just now. Otherwise, we would have been torn apart by her fans."
"Once Xiuyan arrives, everyone will be here." Teng Yunmeng stretched. "We'll start training tomorrow. Zijin, I'll take you out in the afternoon?"
Ying Zijin turned off her phone. "I have something to do in the afternoon. I can go out in the evening."
"What's the matter?"
"To meet someone."
Teng Yunmeng scratched her head.
She always felt that the face of their group was very mysterious.
**
At two o 'clock, Mu Heqing was already sitting in a teahouse in the center of the capital.
There weren't many wars in the late 20th century. Mu Heqing had retired for a long time. Now, there weren't many people who had seen his true face except for the older generation who knew him and the higher-ups of the big families.
Therefore, he didn't ask for a private room. He sat outside and waited very generously.
The other guests also saw such a hale and hearty old man with an extraordinary aura. However, they only took a glance and didn't pay much attention to him.
Mu Cheng was at the side. He glanced at his watch. "Master, you're too early. Miss Ying said that she won't be here until three o 'clock."
"That's not a big deal." Mu Heqing didn't care and poured a cup of tea. "Drink more tea. It's not bad."
Mu Cheng sighed.
In his opinion, it was because Miss Ying had come to the Imperial Capital that Mu Heqing was so happy that he lost his head.
However, Mu Heqing didn't wait too long. Fifteen minutes later, a car stopped outside the teahouse.
Mu Cheng quickly got up and went out to welcome him.
A minute later, he returned with two people behind him.
"You're here. Have a seat." Mu Heqing glanced at Fu Yunshen and seemed to be very unhappy. "Back then, I told Xiao Ying that if she came to the capital, she shouldn't bring you."
"She didn't bring me." Fu Yunshen pulled out a chair and let the girl sit down before he sat down. "I happened to have something to do, so I came to take a look."
"That's enough." Mu Heqing snorted slightly. "There were a lot of things to do in the past. I've never seen you come in person."
Fu Yunshen's hand paused and he raised his eyebrows. "Elder Mu, are you really not afraid that your life will be shortened?"
Hearing this, Mu Heqing was quite calm this time. "It's okay. You have another ability. You can make the dead come back to life."
Mu Cheng: "…"
He raised his hand to wipe his sweat.
Other than Miss Ying, he had never met anyone who dared to talk to Mu Heqing like this.
Mu Cheng actually didn't know how Mu Heqing and Fu Yunshen became friends. He also didn't know what Fu Yunshen did in the capital.
However, he was just a secretary. There were some things that he didn't need to ask.
"I understand." Fu Yunshen put his arm on the back of the chair and tilted his head slightly with a smile. "What you mean is that when you're dead in a few decades, I'll go to your grave and talk to you. You'll still be able to come out of the coffin."
Mu Heqing's hand trembled and he almost splashed the tea on Mu Cheng's face.
He rolled his eyes at Fu Yunshen and looked at the girl. "Xiao Ying, I also want to discuss something with you. Originally, you didn't want to come to the capital. I was going to Hu City."
Ying Zijin propped her head up and looked at the few big boxes of snacks on the table.
She nodded. "Elder Mu, please speak."
Mu Heqing pretended not to see it. He still thought that his importance was higher than the snacks.
He said, "You know, although I've been cured by you, I'm still old. There are many things that I can't do."
"It's not that you can't do anything." Fu Yunshen rolled up his sleeves and revealed half of his forearm. He began to brew tea with his bare hands. "You want to go out and have fun by yourself."
"You little brat." Mu Heqing was furious. "Let me tell you, with your poisonous tongue, you won't be able to find a wife in the future. You'll be a bachelor for the rest of your life!"
No wonder.
At the beginning of the year, he had introduced girls to this little brat.
There were a total of six people, all of whom were socialites in the capital.
However, after meeting each of them once, there was no follow-up.
He even foolishly asked Mu Cheng to ask them.
Now it seemed that there was no point in asking.
Fu Yunshen's eyelashes fluttered. He put four grams of tea leaves into the pot and said casually, "What a coincidence. Just what I wanted."
"Okay, I'll remember it for you." Mu Heqing was so angry that he laughed. "If you get married in the future, I'll tell everyone about this. I guarantee that you won't be able to find a wife."
As he spoke, he took a document from Mu Cheng's hand and pushed it in front of the girl. "Family Mu wants to choose an heir. This is the content of the assessment that I've decided on."
"The first round of assessment will be at the end of September. I'd like to ask Xiao Ying to help me decide who is more suitable."
"This?" Ying Zijin's gaze paused. "I'm sorry, Elder Mu. I don't intend to interfere in Family Mu's affairs. I may have to reject you."
Hearing this, Mu Heqing was not angry. He just felt regretful. "To be honest, if you were my Family Mu's daughter, why would I bother to prepare for the assessment? I'd just pass the Family Mu to you directly."
This was within his expectations.
He and Ying Zijin had known each other for a long time. He knew that she had always been too lazy to care about her own affairs.
On the contrary, she would basically grant all the requests of the people around her.
She would treat those who treated her well better.
"Yaoyao, don't believe him." Fu Yunshen raised his peach blossom eyes and said with a smile, "Elder Mu also said this to me. You see how much he hates me now. He wants to cut me into pieces."
Ying Zijin raised her eyebrows. "Is that so?"
"Brat, will you die if you don't expose me?" Mu Heqing restrained himself and did not kick him. "At least Xiao Ying won't make me angry. Look at you. Can you be a human all day long?"
He slammed the table. "That's enough. Come with me. I have something to tell you."
Fu Yunshen wiped his hands and handed the brewed tea to the girl. "Yaoyao, Elder Mu and I will go inside. You rest here first."
Ying Zijin took the cup and nodded. "Okay. You guys talk."
Mu Cheng also knew that Mu Heqing had more important things to tell Fu Yunshen, so he did not follow.
He hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Miss Ying, are you dissatisfied with Young Master Chen Zhou?"
