Huo Jinxi walked into the venue without looking back while listening to Qi Yuan's report on Su Mubai's identity.
Mu Qian then slowly pushed Su Mubai out of the elevator.
Looking at Huo Jinxi's back, Su Mubai finally couldn't help but ask, "Qianqian, who is that?"
"Huo Jinxi." Mu Qian replied, "The leader of the Huo family in Tongcheng."
"Then how do you know each other?"
Mu Qian smiled slightly and said, "It's a long story."
After hearing this, Su Mubai wanted to ask again, but as there were gradually more people around him, he could only give up for now.
Since Su Mubai had not shown up for a long time, no one outside the venue recognized him. Only a staff member came forward to inquire and introduced them to the venue.
The venue was brightly lit and already full of guests.
Mu Qian noticed that Su Mubai's body became a little tense from the moment he entered the venue.
He had not attended such an occasion for many years, especially now that he appeared in such a posture, it was inevitable that his mood would be ups and downs.
Mu Qian bent down slightly and said to him with a smile: "I came with the idea of making friends with powerful people. You have to choose important people to introduce to me!"
Su Mubai then smiled and said, "Okay."
Today is an important day for the Su family. Among the guests present are many close friends of the Su family. Even though Su Mubai has not seen anyone for a long time, he still knows the people he should know.
Mu Qian pushed him around in a small circle, which attracted a lot of attention. Before Su Mubai took the initiative to say hello, many people spontaneously came forward to say hello.
Su Mubai was a little uncomfortable at first, but after all, he had grown up in such an environment, and his manner in dealing with others was still there. After several adjustments, Mu Qian saw that he was more comfortable and calm, and she felt relieved.
Mrs. Su saw this situation from a distance and immediately walked happily to her husband Su Yuanting. Regardless of Su Yuanting talking to the guest, she excitedly pulled Su Yuanting's sleeve and said, "Yuanting, look, that's Mu Qian. Look.
She is accompanying Mu Bai, how happy Mu Bai is!"
Su Yuanting glanced in the direction she pointed, quickly looked away, coughed and said, "Ajing, I'm talking to a guest, you're so rude."
Mrs. Su finally came back to her senses, looked at the person standing in front of Su Yuanting, and smiled apologetically.
"This is Mr. Huo Jinxi from the Huo family in Tongcheng." Su Yuanting said, "This is my wife. It's really rude."
Huo Jinxi nodded briefly and said calmly: "Mrs. Su is a sweetheart."
Mrs. Su immediately laughed and said to her husband: "You see, Mr. Huo doesn't mind at all. The more I look at that girl, the more I like her. If I observe her for a while, if I think it's good, I'll let the two of them finalize their relationship."
Come down, please? It’s rare that Mubai has been in love with someone for several years. My son is very discerning.”
Su Yuanting felt helpless facing his wife. After hearing what she said, he couldn't help but look at Su Mubai and Mu Qian over there.
Although Su Mubai is sitting in a wheelchair, in terms of appearance alone, the two of them look really harmonious.
Qi Yuan, who was behind Huo Jinxi, listened to what Mrs. Su said and couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat and looked at Huo Jinxi's back——
Although the Su family may not know the relationship between Huo Jinxi and Mu Qian, this attitude is obviously to rob someone!
While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard Huo Jinxi say: "Mrs. Su, do you prefer Mu Qian?"
Hearing these words, Su Yuanting and his wife were both stunned.
Su Yuanting said: "Mr. Huo knows Miss Mu?"
Huo Jinxi glanced at Mu Qian in the crowd, and said softly: "It's a coincidence that we, the Huo family, are so close to each other."
Hearing these words, Su Yuanting's expression changed slightly and he looked at Huo Jinxi.
Mrs. Su was still unaware and asked: "Isn't Mu Qian the stepdaughter of the Cen family? Does she have anything to do with the Huo family?"
"A Jing!" Su Yuanting suddenly interrupted his wife, "Go greet the ladies first, and don't disturb me talking to Mr. Huo."
Mrs. Su reluctantly walked away, and Su Yuanting looked at Huo Jinxi again, "I'm sorry, my wife didn't know what was going on and made Mr. Huo laugh."
Huo Jinxi only gave a faint smile, "What are you talking about?"
After Su Yuanting greeted Huo Jinxi, there were still many guests to entertain. Even though he was too busy to get away, he still took the time to explain to Mrs. Su the meaning of Huo Jinxi's words just now.
Mrs. Su was very surprised by this, but she was also very unhappy, "He said he is from his family, right? Look at how well Mu Qian gets along with our Mu Bai, what's wrong with him?"
"In any case, go and talk to Mubai." Su Yuanting said, "Don't keep Mubai in the dark and don't know anything."
After hearing this, Mrs. Su also realized the necessity, nodded and walked towards Su Mubai.
Just when Mu Qian went to the bathroom, Mrs. Su pulled Su Mubai aside and explained the matter briefly. Unexpectedly, Su Mubai's face showed no surprise at all.
The conversation between Mu Qian and Huo Jinxi in the elevator was ambiguous, not to mention in the venue, even he noticed Huo Jinxi looking at Mu Qian several times.
"But you don't need to be discouraged." Mrs. Su said, "Since we are not married and our relationship is not confirmed, why should we say that Mu Qian belongs to their family? If you really like her, our Su family may not be able to compete with their Huo family."
Su Mubai said slowly: "Mom, don't worry so much, I know what's going on."
Mu Qian returned to the venue and saw Su Mubai sitting alone in the corner, looking very quiet.
"What's wrong?" Mu Qian stepped forward, "Are you tired?"
"It's okay." Su Mubai replied.
Mu Qian glanced at Huo Jinxi who was talking to someone not far away, then looked away and said, "Then let's go out and get some fresh air?"
Su Mubai thought for a while and said, "That's fine."
The two of them walked through the crowd to the terrace. It was midsummer, everyone was enjoying the air conditioning indoors, and it was rare to be quiet on the terrace.
Mu Qian took some fruit and red wine and toasted to Su Mubai while looking at the night view of the city.
Su Mubai was silent for a while before finally speaking: "Qianqian, as a friend, would you like to talk to me... about the person inside?"
Mu Qian put a grape in her mouth. After hearing his words, she glanced inside and saw Huo Jinxi's figure again. Although it was just a profile, it was really conspicuous.
She swallowed the grapes and laughed, "Actually, I don't really want to talk about the past."
Su Mubai listened, but just nodded, "Okay."
Mu Qian glanced at him, "Why are you like this? Ask me more, and maybe I'll tell you."
"Whatever you want to say, you will naturally say it." Su Mubai said.
Mu Qian sat on the terrace sofa, leaning on the back of the sofa and looking up at the sky, "Actually, it's not a secret, it doesn't hurt to talk about it. In short, I loved him when I was young."
Su Mubai's face tightened, "What about now?"
"Your timeline jumped too fast, but I'm still willing to answer." Mu Qian met his gaze, her eyes clearer and more magnanimous, "Now, I hate him."
