Upon hearing this voice, Michelle froze, and a chill went down her spine.
Turning his head, he saw that the face looked somewhat similar to Lin Muhan's, except it was different from Lin Muhan's Ten Thousand Year Ice Mountain. At this moment, Qu Yiming's mouth had a smile, and the light in his eyes seemed to be telling her that he had seen and heard everything just now.
Mi Xue was secretly vexed. She had been too anxious when she came over earlier and only wanted to clarify things with Gu Licheng by pulling him over. However, she did not expect that there was someone else in this dark place.
"As you can see, it is merely to resolve some unnecessary troubles." Mi Xue feigned calmness as she said casually, but in reality, she was probing what the man had heard.
Qu Yiming's smile became even wider, "This Mr. Gu should have always admired you. Tell me, if I were to let my older cousin know that you guys are secretly meeting here on my grandfather's birthday, how would he feel?"
A single sentence made it clear to Michelle that this man in front of her was not easy to deal with.
"You can tell me." Mi Xue didn't want to waste any more time, so she turned to leave.
Qu Yiming did not stop his, but when Mi Xue walked very far away, she felt a burning gaze from behind her, making her feel as if she had already become someone else's prey.
After returning to the banquet hall outside, Mi Xue searched for Lin Muhan's figure. Seeing that he was alone, Meng Yuyan heaved a sigh of relief. However, returning to Lin Muhan's side now made her feel depressed, so she simply walked towards a more secluded place by herself.
Most of the people were gathered in the front hall. Michelle walked to the back yard and sat down on a stool in the garden. Compared to the bustle in the front hall, it was much quieter here.
"Aunt, why did you drag me here in such a hurry?"
A hasty voice broke her calmness. Mi Xue could hear it clearly, it was Meng Yuyan's voice. She didn't dare to move, only quietly sat on her seat.
"Little girl, do you still remember that I'm your aunt? My entire heart is with Lin Muhan, and I'm completely ignoring you."
"I don't have any." Meng Yuyan's voice was filled with bashfulness, but very soon it became sorrowful, "You saw it too, the old man likes Mi Xue now, I don't think I have any hope anymore."
"Silly girl, denying yourself so quickly. Have you not heard of the female chasers? Besides, we have all seen his feelings for you."
"But …"
"Don't tell me you're going to give up? It is fortunate that my aunt still wants to say that I will help you."
"Aunt, are you really going to help me?"
"..."
Following that, he lowered his voice so that even Michelle couldn't hear his words clearly.
It was only when the footsteps got farther and farther away that Michelle sat up straight. She didn't know what she was afraid of. She should be afraid of them.
Just thinking about the conversation just now, she couldn't help but shiver. No wonder Xu Meiyu had always disliked her, it was because she and Meng Yuyan had such a relationship.
It seemed like her future would be even more difficult. The corner of Michelle's mouth raised and a bitter smile appeared on her delicate face.
"Why are you sitting here all by yourself?" Mi Xue heard Lin Muhan's voice.
"Why are you here?" Mi Xue asked in surprise, "I just feel that the banquet hall is too stuffy and I don't know those people, so I hid here to rest."
"Let's go. The main topic is about to begin." Gentleman Lin Muhan stretched out his hand.
Mi Xue was startled. Only then did she realize that Lin Muhan wanted her to hold his hand and stand up, then extend her hand and hold that cold hand of his. Mi Xue stood up from the stool and held his hand.
The host, who was specially invited, heated up a bit, and then the main character of today, Old Master Lin, appeared.
Mi Xue held Lin Muhan's hand and stood at the front row, quietly looking at the old man who was standing on stage. She suddenly felt a strong sense of hatred.
Turning her head, she coincidentally met Meng Yuyan's gaze. At the moment, she was also standing in front, and using Xu Meiyu's light, she looked at Mi Xue who was openly standing beside Lin Muhan. She could no longer hide the jealousy and jealousy from the bottom of her heart.
She knew that the happier she smiled, the angrier Meng Yuyan would be.
As expected, it was as she had expected. Meng Yuyan was simply about to explode from anger, and even her facial features were somewhat distorted.
Smiling. Indeed, it was power.
"Thank you everyone for coming to participate in my Birthday Dinner. Thank you all for all your support and love for my Lin's. I, Lin, am deeply grateful …" The old tutor spoke a few words of thanks on the stage. The scene was extraordinarily lively.
"Today, I will make use of this opportunity to announce something big!" Suddenly, the old man's expression turned serious as he scanned the surroundings. Finally, his gaze landed on Mi Xue.
He waved at Michelle, who pointed at herself in disbelief and asked, "Me?"
"Yes!" The old man nodded with a smile.
"Go." Lin Muhan saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her, but this little girl still had an expression of disbelief, and gently let go of her hand to remind her.
Although it was only two words, everyone thought that it was just a whisper as it scattered a large amount of dog food.
Mi Xue walked to the side of the old man in confusion. The old man held her hand, "As everyone knows, the Lin's experienced a great calamity, which directly concerned the life and death of the Lin's. At that time, many people were not optimistic about it, refused to invest, and desperately urged for more money. What I want to say today is, only she, Mi Xue, my grandson's wife, has sold all of the inherited assets to help the Lin's and saved her from danger. "
"And because of that, I insisted on letting my most beloved grandson, Lin Muhan, marry her. At first, no one thought highly of the Lin Clan. However, it was fortunate that their relationship with the Lin Clan was stable and they were on the verge of opening up a new branch for the Lin Clan. Today, I announce that we will give her 20% of the Lin's Group's shares! "
Old Master Lin's words were undoubtedly like a thunder in a clear sky, shocking quite a few people awake.
Among them, the one with the greatest impact was Mi Xue. She felt like her mind had gone blank, completely unlike what she had expected.
"Dad, are you …" Xu Meiyu's reaction was the fastest, and she loudly questioned, but when the words were just about to reach her mouth, she realized something, and could only swallow it down.
The old man glanced at her, "I'm not stupid, that's why I did it. Uncle Fu, bring it here!"
Uncle Fu walked forward and handed over the signed transfer agreement to Mi Xue. Mi Xue wanted to reject it, but the old man lowered her voice and said, "Xue Xue Xue, if you don't accept it, I won't feel at ease."
"..."
Mi Xue could only accept such a great gift and face her grandfather's pleading look. Moreover, she revealed an embarrassed smile.
On the other hand, other than Lin Muhan, the rest of the people below looked as if they had eaten shit, their faces frighteningly black.
If only her eyes could spit fire, Michelle thought, she would be dead by now.
When she got down from the stage, Michelle still felt light as a feather. This feeling was too surreal.
One second she was a penniless Cinderella, the next she was worth billions.
The disparity was too great. Despite her mental fortitude already being too strong, she was still unable to control it. The few thin pieces of paper in her hands seemed to weigh at least a thousand pounds.
Standing beside Lin Muhan, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on her. Some were jealous, some were flattering, and some were secretly upset …
When the old tutor left, the surrounding crowd rushed over in an instant, fawning on Mi Xue and congratulating her.
"Thank you, thank you …"
Mi Xue didn't know how many times she had repeated this, but she felt like her face was going to turn stiff from the laughter.
"Sorry, we need to leave for a while." Lin Muhan looked at Mi Xue who was tired, blocking the others' congratulations. He brought Mi Xue who was already tired back to the room.
For some unknown reason, Michelle felt a chill down her spine.
Turning his head, he coincidentally saw Lin Muhan's face which was filled with anger, and it carried a trace of coldness.
Is he angry?
It was most likely a misunderstanding. What method did she use to make her grandfather make such a decision, which was why she was so angry?
Thinking of this, Michelle felt as if she had seen a nightmare not too long ago.
He approached her slowly, his tall figure giving off a chilling air that Mi Xue was afraid of. He could not help but take a step back, only to discover that his body was already pressed against the bed.
He reached out and hooked his arm under her chin.
He had done this more than once, and it was followed by torture.
Mi Xue's body could not help but tremble slightly. Despite the warmth at the tips of her fingers, she still felt a cold sensation flowing through the air, as though it was going to freeze her whole body.
"Do you know what you did wrong?" Even his originally emotionless black eyes were filled with deep anger when he spoke of his anger.
"I …" Mi Xue's stagnant mind worked rapidly, combining the words together. "I also don't know why grandfather transferred the shares to me. I can transfer the shares to you!"
Lin Muhan looked at the terrified woman, and his brows furrowed even more.
Michelle's heart was like a drifting boat. She looked at him with a frown, and the worry in her heart grew.
"You think that's why I'm angry?" The glint in Lin Muhan's eyes grew colder, and his tone carried an emotion that Rice Snow did not know.
"No, not this?" Michelle suspected that she had misheard. If that wasn't the case, then what was it?
This stupid woman!
Lin Muhan cursed in his heart, and felt that he should teach this woman a lesson, or else he wouldn't even know where he was wrong.
"Then why are you angry?" Michelle blinked and asked.
Previously, Lin Muhan thought that this woman was very smart, but now, he realised that this woman was actually that stupid. She actually didn't even know why he was so angry.
After taking in a deep breath, he said coldly, "Mrs. Lin, do you think it's right to casually push me to another woman?"
"Oh, I didn't!" Mi Xue anxiously tried to refute, but a scene suddenly flashed in her mind. In order to stop Gu Licheng, she had to give up the space to Lin Muhan and Meng Yuyan.
But Meng Yuyan, could she be counted as another woman?
