At six o'clock in the evening, halfway up the mountain in the southern district of Luocheng, there is a luxurious leisure manor. It has been open for a year and has replaced the former Grand Court Hotel. It has become the first choice venue for wealthy people to gather and hold events.
This manor consists of a four-story building covering an area of nearly 5,000 square meters and more than a dozen single-family villas. In one of the villas, Mo Yurou was sitting quietly. Opposite him was Zhuang Junze in a suit and tie.
, he held a cup and swayed lazily under the crystal lamp.
"It seems like you had a bad start today."
Zhuang Junze spoke with a playful look on his face, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad for Mo Yurou.
At this time, Mo Yurou was wearing a long skirt that reached her ankles. Even though she was sitting in a wheelchair, her grace could not be concealed at all, especially her bright eyes, which were less sharp and more soft.
It seems that there is a bit more intimacy, and it does not give people a sense of aloofness and distance like before.
"Assistant Ming, don't stop him from drinking for a while. He won't be able to drink to death."
Mo Yurou said jokingly to Mingjin who had just walked in.
Mingjin's eyes fell on the half bottle of red wine left on the coffee table, he picked it up and put it aside. Zhuang Junze was about to stop him, but was stopped by the looks that Mo Yurou and Mingjin cast at the same time.
Zhuang Junze put down his wine glass and said disapprovingly.
"A little red wine won't make me drunk, but Yurou, be prepared, your appearance may cause an uproar."
After hearing this, Mo Yurou smiled lightly and replied.
"It doesn't matter if there's an uproar, but I'm afraid it will overshadow the guest and make some people unhappy."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I just came back and I have to give someone a slap in the face. As expected of the Mo Yurou I know, but I heard that Mrs. Shen from Kyoto is also here this time. She is also an official's wife. You
You have to take it easy."
Zhuang Junze kindly reminded Mo Yurou, and Mo Yurou smiled lightly and said.
"What did I do? I didn't commit any crime. Yaohua pays taxes according to the rules every year and does legitimate business. What do I need to do?"
Mo Yurou said quietly, Zhuang Junze shrugged and said.
"Okay, pretend I didn't say it, but I'm really curious as to why you have such a deep prejudice against that female star. Logically speaking, shouldn't you be more dissatisfied with that female star?"
"Hmph, sometimes those who are upright are innocent. What I fear the most is the sneaky one. I heard that this woman has been pestering Zi Chen a lot this year. Do you think I, the real wife, should give her a warning?
Woolen cloth."
As he said that, a hint of coldness flashed across Mo Yurou's eyes.
Zhuang Junze couldn't help but tremble when he saw it, and suddenly began to worry about the person Mo Yurou was eyeing.
At this time, a black car drove slowly on the mountain road to Rose Manor. Liu Mingyu sat upright, looking at Xiao Zichen behind him from time to time, but did not dare to say anything.
This afternoon, Xiao Zichen returned to the company after seeing Mo Yurou off and stayed in the office alone. He canceled a meeting and a business meeting in the afternoon and did not allow anyone to disturb him.
Logically speaking, Xiao Zichen should be happy that Mo Yurou is back, but his unusual behavior this afternoon made Liu Mingyu, who thought he knew Xiao Zichen very well, a little confused.
At this time, Liu Mingyu's cell phone rang, he lowered his head and glanced at the caller ID, then hung up, frowned slightly, and looked at the back seat.
"I've been watching it for a long time. If you fart, hurry up."
Xiao Zichen's cold voice came, and Liu Mingyu was excited and said.
"Mr. Xiao, this is the call from Miss Meng Na's agent. She wants Mr. Xiao to attend the charity dinner with Miss Meng Na today. I haven't given her a reply yet, so I'm probably waiting.
"
Hearing this, Xiao Zichen glanced at him coldly, and Liu Mingyu immediately turned around and said hurriedly.
"I got back to them right away."
After saying that, Liu Mingyu directly replied to the text message.
"Who is Yaohua coming tonight?"
At this time, Xiao Zichen's voice sounded again. Liu Mingyu thought for a while and replied immediately.
"It should be Young Master Mo and Assistant Jiang."
When Xiao Zichen heard this, he frowned slightly and asked softly.
"Where's she? She's not here?"
"I don't know. How about I ask for you?"
Liu Mingyu said, looking in the rearview mirror.
A trace of doubt flashed across Xiao Zichen's indifferent face, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he said quietly.
"never mind."
After saying that, Xiao Zichen closed his eyes and rested his mind. Seeing this, Liu Mingyu did not dare to disturb Xiao Zichen anymore.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Zichen and the others arrived at the manor. As soon as the car parked, they saw Jiang Yucheng walking towards them.
Jiang Yucheng glanced at Liu Mingyu first, then came to Xiao Zichen and said.
"Mr. Xiao, Director Mo is waiting for you over there."
With that said, Jiang Yucheng pointed to a villa not far away. Xiao Zichen glanced over there, and then said to Liu Mingyu.
"You go in first, I'll be back in a moment."
After finishing speaking, he said to Jiang Yucheng.
"Lead the way."
Afterwards, Jiang Yucheng led Xiao Zichen towards the villa in the distance.
A few minutes later, they had arrived at the door of the villa. The door of the villa was ajar, and they could faintly hear the chatter and laughter inside.
"Sister, brother-in-law is here."
Mo Yuhang, who was sitting in the living room facing the door, saw the person at the door and gave him a reminder.
Mo Yurou immediately turned around and looked at the door.
In the evening, Xiao Zichen changed into a more formal silver-gray suit, paired with a dark red tie, which made him look a little more gentle than during the day.
"Sister, brother-in-law, please talk slowly."
Mo Yuhang wisely gave up the space to Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou, and entered the next room with Jiang Yucheng.
"What's up?"
Xiao Zichen spoke coldly. Hearing this voice, Mo Yurou's heart still felt cold, but after a slight adjustment, she smiled slightly.
"I will also be attending the dinner party soon. Now that I'm back, I think we should enter together."
Mo Yurou got straight to the point, and they parted on bad terms during the day, but if they entered the market separately at night, I'm afraid the stocks of both companies would plummet tomorrow.
After hearing this, Xiao Zichen felt a little angry in his heart. What does "should" mean? If there was no dinner tonight, wouldn't this woman plan to come to him?
"Mo Yurou, what do you mean? Apart from this, do you have nothing else to say to me?"
"I said everything that needed to be said during the day, and explained everything that needed to be explained. I also know that you are angry, and I also think that you should be angry, so I am not in a hurry to ask for your forgiveness. I will give you time."
Mo Yurou said calmly. Compared to Xiao Zichen's anger, Mo Yurou was much calmer.
"You...give me time? Apart from this, don't you have anything else to say?"
Xiao Zichen really wanted to pry open this woman's brain to see if she really didn't understand or if she did it on purpose. Did he really have to say everything to understand?
Facing Xiao Zichen's rage, Mo Yurou had an innocent expression on her face and simply asked a question.
"Then what else do you want me to say?"
"you……"
Xiao Zichen gritted his teeth with hatred, but Mo Yurou was indifferent. Suddenly her eyes flashed and she said with aggrieved expression.
"Forget it, if you don't want to enter the venue with me, I won't force you. I'll ask Assistant Jiang to take me back later."
With that said, Mo Yurou pretended to leave the living room. When Xiao Zichen saw it, he really gritted his teeth and walked up.
"Did I say I didn't want to?"
After saying that, Xiao Zichen picked up the shawl on the sofa, put it on Mo Yurou, and said arrogantly.
“It’s very windy in the mountains at night, so I don’t know how to wear more clothes.”
As he said that, he glanced at Mo Yurou's plunging dress, swallowed subconsciously, and then pushed Mo Yurou's wheelchair out of the villa.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, your sister is still the best. I see Xiao always being eaten to death by your sister."
At this time, Zhuang Junze walked out of the room next to him and sighed continuously.
Mo Yuhang followed behind and said with pride.
"Of course, you don't know that this year, my brother-in-law has almost become a husband-looking stone, but my sister is also true. My brother-in-law has been so obvious just now, doesn't she just need to coax him?"
Mo Yuhang said in confusion, Zhuang Junze slapped Mo Yuhang on the back of the head and said.
"Don't you understand this? This is the fun between lovers. Sometimes making noise can actually enhance the relationship."
Speaking of this, Zhuang Junze suddenly stopped, looked at Mo Yuhang, shook his head and said.
"Forget it, you've never been in love, and I wouldn't understand if I told you."
"Who says I haven't been in love?"
When Zhuang Junze heard this, he curled his lips and sneered.
"Hmph, your sister was so strict with you back then, how dare you fall in love prematurely?"
When Zhuang Junze said this, Mo Yuhang suddenly felt very embarrassed and muttered quietly.
"Why does my sister tell you everything?"
"Okay, you are still complaining. Your sister cares about you. Let's go. It's time for us to join in the fun. Your sister suddenly appeared. I guess tonight's charity dinner will be very lively."
After saying that, Zhuang Junze strode out of the villa and walked towards the brightly lit building not far away.
Guests gathered in the banquet building. It is said that this year's charity dinner was the largest in the past five years. Because of Shen Leyi's status, many dignitaries came to support her, hoping that through Shen Leyi, she could climb to the top of the Shen family.
"Mommy, why did you arrange for Mu Jinghao to be my dance partner? You clearly know that I hate him."
