"To the banquet?" Mu Yufei's tone was full of uncertainty, but at the same time she was also worried, was it appropriate for her to attend the banquet together with him?

After all, she was no longer the young miss of the past. If she were to appear at those occasions now, it would be a little inappropriate.

"Well, I'll have the driver pick you up in the afternoon." With that, he got off the bed and walked into the bathroom.

Mu Yufei stared blankly in the direction of the bathroom, her bright almond-shaped eyes dimmed little by little.

She had no right to say no in front of him.

Little Uncle …

She really missed the warm and refreshing him of the past. If something like that hadn't happened, would he not be so cold to her now?

"..."

At 1600 hours in the afternoon, the driver came back to pick up Mu Yanfei. When she got on the car, she was surprised to see that Chi Chengxuan was also in the car. She was slightly startled for a moment before she put away her surprise and got on the car.

Chi Chengxuan first brought her to try on a dress. For the sake of displaying her pure and elegant temperament, the designer gave her a sky-blue muslin dress that was the color of candy. Although it seemed conservative, it made her look even more charming and noble.

After changing into her formal attire, Mu Yanyi walked out of the fitting room. With lowered eyes, she gently bit her lips, her delicate and pretty eyebrows slightly knitted together.

She did not dare to raise her head to look at Chi Chengxuan, afraid that he would be dissatisfied with her.

Chi Chengxuan was sitting on the sofa, elegantly flipping through a magazine. Seeing her in a long dress coming out of the fitting room, his eyes suddenly dazzled for a moment. After a while, he came back to his senses and faintly spat out two words, "Not bad."

Still okay?

Does that mean I'm not satisfied?

Mu Yanfei sighed in her heart, preparing to change into her dress once again.

Chi Chengxuan stood up and walked in front of her. His fingers hooked onto her chin, and his deep black eyes revealed a trace of a burning glow. The incredibly beautiful face in front of him had unknowingly sunk into oblivion.

She was really his natural nemesis, constantly pulling at every cell of his body.

He looked away indifferently and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Let's go."

The moment he turned around, Mu Yanyu secretly let out a sigh of relief. Just a moment ago, she was being watched by him that way, and her whole heart was tensed, her back becoming stiff.

When they arrived at the banquet site, Chi Chengxuan was being pestered by the business partners.

Mu Yanfei was unable to blend into the atmosphere. Taking advantage of the fact that there weren't many people around, she first went to the side to find something to eat. As she ate, she also looked at Chi Chengxuan who was surrounded and flattered.

At this moment, she felt that she was so far away from him, she could even be said to be out of reach.

"Big Sister Fei."

A familiar, soft, and feminine voice entered her ears. Mu Yanyi only felt that it was exceptionally ear-piercing. When her gaze shifted to Mu Zhiqing, her smile was sweet and pleasant.

"Big Sister Fei, I didn't expect that you would also appear here." There was astonishment on Mu Zhiqing's face, as well as an almost imperceptible mockery.

"Mu Zhiqing, you've been wearing a mask that doesn't match your appearance. Aren't you tired?" Mu Yanyu coldly looked at her, not wanting to keep acting with her, "Qi Xinghuan is not here, you really don't have to keep wearing a fake mask in front of me."

"Big Sister Fei, you're so boring, yet you think so highly of yourself." Mu Zhiqing instantly changed to a mocking expression. With a tone full of ridicule, she said, "No wonder that Xing Huan immediately kicked you when your family went bankrupt."

"Then I really want to thank you for taking over that second-hand item." Mu Yufei choked back at her unwillingness to be outdone.

Mu Zhiqing's gaze shifted behind her and immediately changed to a pitiful expression. She said with some injustice, "Xing Huan isn't some second-hand trash. I really love him. Why are you still pestering him, Sister Fei?"

"Mu Yanfei, you really are a lingering spirit."

A cold voice came from behind her. Mu Yanyi didn't even need to turn around to know who it was.

Aside from Qi Xinghuan, who else could it be?

Mu Zhiqing really knew how to act.

"Mu Yanyu, you're the one I don't need!" Qi Xinghuan stared coldly at her.

"Ha ha!" Mu Yan Fei looked straight at her, coldly sneered, and was too lazy to continue arguing with him.

She turned and walked away, out onto the little balcony to get some fresh air.

Mu Zhiqing followed her out. A trace of ruthlessness flashed across her face as she greeted her with a flattering smile, "Sister Fei, you're so lonely here by yourself. Where's your uncle?"

Mu Yanyi was too lazy to respond to her tone. She didn't want to stir up any trouble, afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for Chi Chengxuan. She turned around and wanted to leave.

However, Mu Zhiqing blocked her path.

"Out of the way!" A cold light flitted past her eyes. At this moment, Mu Yanfei really didn't have the mood to play with her.

"I won't let you, what can you do to me?"

Mu Zhiqing smiled as she shook the glass of red wine, intending to throw it at her.

Mu Yanyu instinctively stretched out her hand to grab the hand holding the wine cup, and Mu Zhiqing took the opportunity to pour the wine on herself, a smug smile appearing in her eyes.

"Sister Fei, I was with him only after you and Xing Huan broke up. Why did you misunderstand me so deeply?" Mu Zhiqing's transformation speed was fast to the point where one could not handle it. One second she had a provocative face, but now she became pitiful and innocent.

"You, the jinx, killed your parents, and now you're bullying my Qingqing." Hearing Mu Zhiqing's wronged wails, Shen Yizhen walked over and pointed at Mu Yanyu's nose while cursing, "How can you be so shameless? Why don't you take a look at this place yourself? Is this a place a lowly person like you should be?"

This was her second aunt. Before her family went bankrupt, she had the opportunity to come to her house every day and flatter and fawn on them. Now that her family was bankrupt, her sarcasm was flawless.

"Apologize to Qingqing immediately!" Shen Yazhen shouted at her, her expression fierce.

Mu Yanyi coldly said with an arrogant face, on what basis was she supposed to apologize to Mu Zhiqing? If she wanted to apologize, it would be Mu Zhiqing apologizing to her.

"Second Aunt, what do I need to apologize for?"

"You uncultured thing, I'll teach you for your parents!" Shen Yizhen raised her hand and slapped her face.

At this time, Mu Yanfei had nowhere to run, and her hand was grabbed by Mu Zhiqing. She had no way of resisting and could only passively wait for her palm to land. However, after a while, she no longer felt the expected pain on her face.

When she straightened her gaze and looked forward at Shen Yizhen, her expression suddenly froze.
