Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The charity gala was lively and grand. The entire first floor had been reserved by Mo Real Estate, and the decorations were resplendent. Most of the people present were celebrities and elites from the business world. Mo Real Estate had indeed put in a lot of effort in organizing the gala.
Mo Yan glanced at Mo Lian, who was standing beside her and glaring at her like a tiger. She sighed with some regret. It was a great pity that Mo Lian simply saw the charity gala as a weapon to defeat her.
By the time Mo Lian and Mo Yan arrived, most guests were present. Both of them were beautiful young ladies, and they immediately attracted the attention of many people. There were even some who sized them up.
“That must be the eldest daughter of the Mo family, Mo Lian. She is indeed beautiful. No wonder Mo Dong wanted to hide her. Even I can’t bear to have such a beautiful daughter appear in public and be eyed by other men.” A man in his early thirties clicked his tongue and sighed. His gaze remained fixated on Mo Lian for a long time.
“Other men? Aren’t you talking about yourself? But the Mo family must have a high standard for selecting a son-in-law. Someone like you won’t even be spared a glance.” The man standing beside him shook his head vigorously, and his gaze fell on Mo Yan. “I like the one beside her. She’s pretty and not ostentatious. But why haven’t I seen her before?” The man frowned.
He and Mo Lian were considered very good friends, and he had seen most of Mo Lian’s friends and close friends. There was no reason for him not to have met Mo Yan before.
“Who said that the Mo family only has one daughter?” A cold voice came from the corner. The two of them looked in the direction of the voice, but no one was there. It was as if they had imagined it.
“The other daughter of the Mo family?” With that thought, the duo turned to look at Mo Yan. She, who looked good and had an extraordinary temperament, was worthy of being called the daughter of the Mo family.
Mo Lian had a guest to greet, so she couldn’t deal with Mo Yan for the time being. In a good mood, Mo Yan walked around the venue.
A staff member came forward and handed her a white fox mask; it was made of silver and had red patterns on it.
“What’s this?” Mo Yan blinked, not understanding what was going on.
“This is a program of our charity gala. Men and women will put on masks and dance while getting to know each other. The last event of the charity gala is the unveiling. The guests will go up on stage one by one, and whoever bids the highest price can remove the corresponding guest’s mask,” the staff member explained to Mo Yan with a smile.
Mo Yan held the mask and looked at the guests around her. Most of them had already put on their masks. Following a different staff member, they walked toward the dance floor.
“It’s really showy.” Mo Yan shrugged and gave a very pertinent evaluation.
“All the income from the unveiling segment will be donated to the International Children’s Fund. It’s very meaningful,” the staff member saw Mo Yan put on the mask and explained to her with a smile. He also led her toward the dance floor.
Mo Yan had only taken a few steps when she saw the arrogant Mo Lian. The latter was indeed very ostentatious. She was actually wearing a pure gold cat mask, which stood out among a sea of silver fox masks.
Mo Lian passed by and recognized Mo Yan by her dress. She raised her leg to stomp on it, but Mo Yan dodged to the side.
Mo Lian, who had missed, lost her balance and fell straight forward. Fortunately, the staff next to her helped her up. Otherwise, she would have fallen to the ground.
In front of the many guests, Mo Lian could not afford to show an emotionally charged response. She could only quickly tidy up her dress and walk onto the dance floor with her head held high.
Mo Yan had just entered the dance floor when a man came over and invited her to dance with him. The fox mask covered his entire face, and it was impossible to tell his identity or age.
Although Mo Yan had danced before, she was a little unfamiliar with it after a long time of not practicing it. Although she accidentally stepped on the man a few times, the latter did not take it to heart at all.
He even comforted Mo Yan gently, “Just follow my feet. Don’t worry, I will lead you.”
Mo Yan had heard the same thing from Luo Tao on occasions not related to dancing. He would always ask her to leave it to him, his calm and composed tone giving her a sense of security.
Mo Yan bit her lip slightly, missing Luo Tao a little. She didn’t know what he had been busy with recently, but the two of them hadn’t talked for a long time.
“Even though I said that, you have to concentrate on dancing with me.” Su Hai shook his head. “If you think about other men while dancing with me, I’ll be sad.”
