Chapter 113 Attending the Celebration Dinner

"Hello, please show me your invitation." The waiter smiled and extended his hand, his tone respectful and polite.

Mu Nanyan took out the exquisite invitation from her handbag and handed it over. After carefully checking it, the waiter bowed slightly and made a "please" gesture:

"Miss Mu, please come in."

Mu Nanyan nodded slightly, and walked into the celebratory banquet hosted by Dingsheng Group with Tang Yutong beside her.

The cocktail party was held in the banquet hall of a five-star hotel under the Dingsheng Group. The crystal chandeliers cast brilliant light, reflecting on the smooth marble floor, reflecting luxurious light and shadow.

Large artworks hung on the surrounding walls, highlighting the Dingsheng Group's rich cultural heritage. Guests, dressed in finery, held champagne and chatted in low voices, while the air was filled with the faint scent of perfume and melodious piano music.

Mu Nanyan wore a dark blue, floor-length dress, the hem dotted with tiny sequins, resembling stars in the night sky. Her long hair was elegantly tied up, revealing her slender neck. A pair of simple yet exquisite diamond earrings adorned her earlobes, radiating a noble and calm aura.

Tang Yutong wore a wine-red off-the-shoulder dress that fitted her curves perfectly, making her look charming and attractive. As soon as the two entered the venue, they attracted countless eyes.

"Nan Yan, you are so beautiful today that I can't take my eyes off you."

Tang Yutong laughed softly and gently touched Mu Nanyan's arm.

"Look, the eyes of the men over there are almost glued to you."

Mu Nanyan smiled slightly, picked up a glass of champagne, took a sip, and said calmly:

"Don't tease me, you're not bad either. This dress suits you very well and makes you look very elegant."

Tang Yutong blinked and lowered her voice in a mysterious tone:

"Is there anyone you like? You should find a stepfather for Chenchen."

Mu Nanyan's expression did not change, her eyes remained calm:

"I just got divorced, I don't want to be in a relationship. Chenchen and I have been through this for so many years, we don't need a man."

"By the way, have you almost finished your work here? Are you going to Haicheng in a couple of days?"

Mu Nanyan thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'm going to buy a plane ticket back to Haicheng tomorrow. I haven't been to that city yet, and I want to go over and take a look, and rest for a while."

"Well, it looks like I'll be left alone here again."

Mu Nanyan glanced at her and said, "How dare you say that? After all these years, haven't you met someone you like? Why aren't you looking for a partner?"

"You know I like looking at handsome guys. If I find a partner, will I still be able to see so many handsome guys?"

"Uh...it still has to be you."

"I really don't want to get married right now, but my parents keep pushing me to do it. I'm getting fed up."

"Don't they also want you to have someone to rely on?"

"I have my own career now, which is my biggest support. Besides, I have a godson now. In the future, I can just let him take care of me in my old age. I will give him all my property."

Tang Yutong winked at Mu Nanyan as she spoke.

"Oh, that's right. When you're done with your busy schedule, come to Haicheng and play. Chenchen hasn't seen you in person yet. We've only been video chatting every day."

"I want to see Chenchen, too. Wait until you're done with this busy period. Your work is done, but there are still many things to do later."

Tang Yutong looked at Mu Nanyan with resentment. Mu Nanyan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Tang Yutong smiled and didn't respond. Suddenly, she remembered something and said:

"By the way, you are the star of the show today. There will definitely be a lot of people coming over to chat with you later, so you better be prepared."

Mu Nanyan chuckled and shook her head:

"I'm just a designer, not a celebrity. Boss Tang, please help me block those unnecessary social engagements today."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Tang Yutong patted his chest and said in a heroic tone,

"But if it's a handsome guy, I won't be polite."

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

The focal point of the reception was undoubtedly Mu Nanyan. As the key contributor to the joint series between Dingsheng Group and renowned designers, her designs have not only been a huge success in the domestic market, but have also garnered widespread acclaim from the international fashion community.

As one of the leading large enterprises in Beijing, Dingsheng Group is very powerful. This celebration banquet is not only to celebrate the huge success of the new series, but also to show the outside world the group's ambition and strength in the fashion field.

When Mu Nanyan and the design director took the stage to give a speech, the whole audience fell silent. She stood under the spotlight, smiling, her tone calm and confident:

“Thank you to Dingsheng Group for their support and to all the teams who worked so hard on this series. This success belongs to everyone.”

Her voice was clear and firm, winning warm applause from the audience.

After the speech, Mu Nanyan's mission was basically completed, but as the protagonist of this celebration party, she couldn't leave too early. She and Tang Yutong stood in a corner of the reception, each holding a glass of champagne, chatting casually.

The atmosphere at the reception was still lively, with guests toasting and chatting, laughter abounding. Mu Nanyan stood among the crowd, like a glittering pearl, dazzling yet distant.

At this moment, Xu Nanxing, wearing an evening dress, walked towards Mu Nanyue.

She smiled and said to Mu Nanyan:

"Mu Nanyan, it's been so long since you came back and we haven't had a good chat yet. How about we go have a drink over there?"

Xu Nanxing said this and pointed to the small garden behind.

Tang Yutong saw Xu Nanxing's ill intentions at a glance, and stood in front of Mu Nanyan, saying defensively:

"You can talk about anything you want right here, why do you have to go out to talk?"

"Yutong, it's okay. Wait here for me. I'll be back soon."

Mu Nanyan gave Tang Yutong a reassuring look and followed Xu Nanxing to the small garden behind.

The small garden is very quiet. Everyone who came to the celebration party today is chatting inside. There is no one here, so it is a good place to talk about some topics that are not convenient to talk about.

Mu Nanyan walked to the pavilion and sat down, looking at Xu Nanxing and said:

"Say what you want to say."

Xu Nanxing looked at Mu Nanyan with resentment and said:

"You left in the beginning, why did you come back?"

Mu Nanyan thought she was a little funny and said meaningfully:

"Isn't it because your company wants to cooperate with me that I came back?"

"..." Xu Nanxing was speechless. It was indeed Dingsheng who wanted to invite Grace to cooperate, but she didn't know that Grace was Mu Nanyan at the time, otherwise she would definitely ruin this cooperation.

Seeing Xu Nanxing didn't speak, Mu Nanyan continued:

"Do you know why I want to come and chat with you today?"

"It's all because of Brother Yiran."

"It's definitely because of him, but the main reason is because of you."

"Because of me?"

Xu Nanxing looked at Mu Nanyan in confusion, not knowing what she meant.
