He walked over and stood beside her. The lobby downstairs was bustling with people who had come to wish the old man a happy birthday. A large screen was playing a loop of photos of the old man looking remarkably energetic.

Besides high-ranking officials and dignitaries, there were also reporters who went to great lengths to disguise themselves and get in.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at her, feeling that Mu Guo seemed a little different today than usual. She seemed shrouded in hatred, filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Hatred...who exactly does she hate so much?

"What are you looking at?" Xiao Jinyan asked, seemingly casually.

For some reason, he became increasingly interested in this woman. Even though she said she was already married and had children…

"It's nothing." Mu Guo concealed the sharpness in her eyes, hiding her true self.

"Lend me something."

Although it was a request, it didn't sound servile at all.

"Is this how you ask for help?" Xiao Jinyan raised his chin and continued, "Besides, why should I lend it to you?"

"Based on our bet, I won, but you still won't let me go."

Although Mu Guo didn't manage to complete the three-day bet at Wolf Castle, Xiao Jinyan personally agreed that she had won. Regardless of whether her victory was honorable, she had won.

Xiao Jinyan's expression darkened. He desperately wanted to know why this woman was in such a hurry to leave him, to leave this place. Where was she going? Was she going to find that man?

After a pause, Xiao Jinyan turned and walked back without looking back, his hands behind his back.

Mu Guo frowned, about to speak, when she heard Xiao Jinyan's voice.

"Go find Qinglong, and he will give you what you want."

Fifteen minutes later, Mu Guo, having made all the arrangements, deliberately appeared in Liang Xiaoru's line of sight.

The moment Liang Xiaoru saw her, her eyes seemed to be glued to her, as if she wanted to stare right through her.

Mu Guo was shrewd and calculating, but outwardly remained calm. After circling the main hall, she headed towards the deserted side hall.

To get to the side hall, you have to go through a very long corridor.

Because today is the Xiao family patriarch's birthday banquet, almost everyone is gathered in the main hall, and no one will go to the side hall. Therefore, the corridor leading to the side hall is almost deserted.

And the real show will unfold in this corridor.

Seeing Mu Guo heading towards the side hall, Liang Xiaoru hurriedly lied to Hai Zhehao, saying she needed to go to the restroom to touch up her makeup, and followed behind Mu Guo.

Before long, they left the crowd and came to the corridor near the side hall.

"stop!"

Seeing that no one was around, Liang Xiaoru suddenly became arrogant and shouted loudly.

Mu Guo stopped in her tracks, feigning confusion, and turned to look at Liang Xiaoru.

Are you calling me?

Even the voice is exactly the same as she remembers! It really is that bitch!

She was incredibly lucky; such a huge fire didn't kill her!

Liang Xiaoru quickened her pace, walked up to Mu Guo, and glared at her fiercely.

"It's you, it's you, isn't it?!"

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying," Mu Guo said, trying her best to remain calm.

Just looking at the woman who had brought her to this state, Mu Guo felt an indescribable resentment and anger.

But at this moment, she had to calm down.

Soon, what Liang Xiaoru did will be made public!

Seeing that she was pretending to know nothing, Liang Xiaoru angrily ripped off the face mask from her face.

Those eyes, that nose, that face shape... everything about them is exactly the same as that bitch's!
