Chapter 429: 429, Stingy Mr. Huo

Huo Jingshen simply took the wine glass out of her hand without addressing her previous words, “Drink less.”

Su Wanwan humphed twice, “Skinflint.”

She rarely gets the opportunity to drink, but every time, she would be stopped after just one or two sips.

“Behave, it’s for your own good, darling.”

“I didn’t drink much!”

“How much do you think is too much?”

“I really only had two sips.”

“What will you do if you have a headache tomorrow?”

“How could I get a headache from just two sips?”

“After two sips you will drink three, four…”

“Enough, enough.” Chu Xiuhuang impatiently interrupted the two’s endless chatter, then called over the server, “Do you have Wangzai milk?”

The server was taken aback, “I’m sorry, we don’t.”

The party was the Mo Group’s anniversary party, it is attended by the society’s elites, there are no underage guests, where would they get Wangzai milk?

At most, they have soda water.

Chu Xiuhuang was very impatient, “Damn it, these two are killing me with their talk, can’t I have something sweet?”

Su Wanwan looked at him awkwardly, then suddenly, her eyes lit up at someone behind him, “Secretary Shi has arrived!”

Chu Xiuhuang impatiently turned around.

The next minute, the expression on his face completely froze.

Or more accurately, he was struck in awe.

Shi Huan was walking towards him, her black hair that usually hung over her shoulders was now styled by a hairstylist in a simple style, with some strands of hair falling loosely on her cheeks, making her oval face look delicate and refined.

She was wearing exquisite light makeup, if he hadn’t seen her without her glasses before, he certainly wouldn’t recognize her now, as she looked like a completely different person.

Now, she was pure and beautiful, and especially when her almond eyes were looking at him, they were like pools of spring water, pure and innocent, reflecting a touch of self-pity.

But the moment he looked down.

Chu Xiuhuang felt a stirring in his heart.

She was wearing a black haute couture gown, the versatile material seemed like a second skin that was tailored to her figure, accentuating her curvaceous physique, the design of the sleeveless V-neck was simple yet generous, but the V-neck…

Was a bit too low.

As a result, under the contrast of the black cloth, her skin appeared to be like ice jade, so white that it was dazzling.

Under the bright lights of the banquet hall, with her movement, a pearl necklace was lightly floating…

Very seductive!

Chu Xiuhuang quickly averted his eyes.

Damn!

Who had her dressed in such a bold dress?

Damn…

Was someone deliberately tempting him?

Fuck!

Chu Xiuhuang gave a rough cough or two, then swiftly reached for the red win on the side.

He drank it down in one fell swoop.

The cold liquid instantly poured down his throat.

Huo Jingshen, on the side, rubbed his thick eyebrows in exasperation, then irritably shifted his gaze.

This Chu Xiuhuang, acting like a greenhorn.

Clearly, he is just a kid who hasn’t driven a car!

Just couldn’t bear to look at him.

As for Su WanWan…

“Secretary Shi.” She walked up to Shi Huan somewhat excitedly, “Wow, you look so pretty in that dress! Who knew Weiyi had such great taste!”

Earlier when she walked into the rest room, she was called back by Huo Jingshen’s phone call, she was worried that Mo Weiyi might make Shi Huan look ridiculous, but she didn’t expect The Little Princess to have such great style.

This black dress, simple and elegant, really suited Shi Huan’s cool yet delicate demeanor, and it was very sexy too.

She noticed that Shi Huan had a great figure during their time at the hot spring resort, and seeing her today confirmed this.

Su Wanwan, who was wearing a pair of high heels, had the advantage of height and easily observed from above.

Shi Huan was so embarrassed that she hastily adjusted her dress.

Even though she had a necklace covering her, and despite the fact that Su Wanwan was a woman, Shi Huan didn’t feel comfortable being stared at so explicitly…

“Is this dress from Little Princess?” Chu Xiuhuang’s voice rang out pleasantly.

Shi Huan nodded, her gaze falling on the handsome man’s face.

Just as expected, Chu Xiuhuang’s thin lips curled up, his handsome face was like a breath of spring, exuding an indescribable radiance.

He praised, “The Little Princess has quite good taste.”

Shi Huan laughed.

After all, she’s the woman you deeply love.

“Where is she?” Chu Xiuhuang asked again.

This “she” was naturally referring to Mo Weiyi.

Shi Huan responded, “She said she would accompany her husband to meet the customers.”

As a matter of fact, as soon as they had returned to the banquet hall, Mo Weiyi left immediately.

Being today’s hostess, naturally, she needed to greet the guests, Shi Huan didn’t give it much thought.

However, Chu Xiuhuang seemed to suddenly understand something.

Hehe, this little princess was afraid to meet him, wasn’t she?

He raised his eyebrows, his tongue lightly touched his jaw, and his eyes narrowed mischievously, seemingly deep in thought.

Seeing his appearance, Shi Huan couldn’t help but wonder, was he disappointed?

The next second.

Chu Xiuhuang suddenly lifted his noble arm, “In that case, Little Huanhuan, accompany your boss to meet the clients, perhaps you’ll run into the Little Princess.”

Having prepared a “benefit” for him, Chu Xiuhuang thought it would be necessary to thank her, and incidentally… provoke her! And provoke Xiao Yebai.

Given an opportunity to stir things up, Chu Xiuhuang never wanted to miss it.

What he did not know was that Shi Huan had been dwelling on how he loved Mo Weiyi but was unable to have her, how his love was too deep to let her go, their love and hate entwined…

She smiled, hooked his arm, and said, “Okay.”

**

In a corner of the bustling banquet hall.

Mo Weiyi, with her arm around Xiao Yebai, had a sweet smile on her beautiful little face.

Even though she didn’t understand, and wasn’t familiar with the people, she was still well aware of what should be done and what should not be done at the anniversary celebration of the Mo Group.

Until…

“Yiyi.”

Mo Weiyi turned her head and saw Qu Yunyao and Xu Jing in front of her, with Xu Rui by their side.

Qu Yunyao was wearing a white long dress with a corset, her face made up exquisitely, her long hair carefully pinned back, completely decked out. Her entire appearance indicated that she had put a great deal of effort into preparing for today’s event.

As for Xu Jing, she had also changed her usual style. However, it wasn’t as exaggerated as Qu Yunyao, she wasn’t wearing any ostentatious jewelry and she wore a conservative light green dress.

And there was no denying that she took very good care of herself. Although she was over forty, she looked just over thirty.

So when they stood together, it wasn’t obvious that they were mother and daughter. Instead, they looked like a pair of beautiful sisters.

“Yiyi.” After calling her, Qu Yunyao enthusiastically praised, “Yiyi, you look beautiful today.”

Mo Weiyi politely returned the smile, “You look beautiful too.”

The two sisters interacted in a friendly manner, making Mo Yaoxiong, who was standing beside them, very pleased.

Qu Yunyao gave a polite smile, looking exceptionally charming.

“Who are these two?” The CEO standing next to them was slightly surprised, and his wife looked curious.

Mo Yaoxiong introduced with a smile, “This is Xu Xian’s younger sister Xu Jing, her daughter Qu Yunyao, and Yunyao’s fiancé, Xu Rui.”

“I see”. The CEO smiled, but his gaze was different.

He had thought that they were some important guest, but it turned out to be Mrs. Mo’s sister and niece.

In such a circumstance, it was tip toeing for these two to show up….

He laughed, hinting something.

Xu Jing bowed her head, her face a bit awkward.

Actually, she didn’t want to come today. She always felt that with her status, her presence at Mo’s company’s celebration might draw criticism particularly from some intentionally gossipy folks.

However, Qu Yunyao and Xu Rui insisted, arguing that the movie Xu Rui had invested in required more funding. This event was the perfect opportunity to meet some elites and wealthy families in Nancheng, which might lead to potential cooperation opportunities.

Fearing for Yunyao’s pregnancy (only three months along), Xu Jing eventually worried and decided to attend for her sake.

After the CEO and his wife left, Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, “By the way, aren’t you two living elsewhere?”

As these words hit, the awkwardness on Xu Jing’s face became even more evident.

Qu Yunyao’s face also looked pretty bad.

Last time, due to the scolding of the maid, there was a bit of a conflict with Mo Weiyi. Qu Yunyao had intentionally insisted on moving out and asked Mo Yaoxiong to help them find an apartment through a real estate broker.

Mo Yaoxiong, having grown up in luxury and used to lavishness, he also cared for the mother-daughter pair, and he would certainly have agreed to help.

Qu Yunyao had deliberately given a low budget, and those brokers were in the business of what we pay is what we get. With such a low price, the apartments they could offer would definitely be of inferior conditions, unlikely to be satisfactory.

He would certainly have found them unsatisfactory and forbidden their relocation.
