"Of course, even with a mask on, my princess's stunning beauty cannot be hidden."

John Lu laughed and praised.

Si Tingyu's eyes narrowed, and he was about to make a move when he saw Shu Mowan throw out two silver needles, which pierced John Road's knees. A few seconds later, he suddenly knelt on the ground.

“Mr. John Lu, even if you succumb to my beauty, you don’t need to kneel.”

After Shu Mowan finished speaking in a perfunctory manner, she reached out to help John Lu up, but as soon as she let go, he knelt back down.

What's wrong with you?

She took a step back and feigned surprise, saying, "Even if you're trying to scam me, I won't like you."

John felt countless gazes upon him and felt extremely embarrassed. Even though he was interested in Wan Yu, he never thought of kneeling down and proposing in public.

His privileged upbringing instilled in him a deep-seated pride. He could spend money to prepare surprises for beautiful women, but he had no intention of groveling or fawning over them.

"Wanyu, what did you do to me?"

He looked up at Shu Mowan, his tone tinged with anger, "Hurry up and let me up."

“Mr. John Lu, you suddenly knelt down, how come you’re blaming me?”

Shu Mowan frowned and said, "I know that my polite rejection of your advances at the fashion show made you unhappy, but you can't use this method to slander me."

After he finished speaking, John clearly felt that everyone's gazes towards him became even more amused.

"John Road, what are you doing?"

A well-dressed lady walked over and exclaimed, "Get up right now! Don't embarrass the John family!"

John felt even more embarrassed when he saw that the person who came was his mother. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mommy, I can't get up."

He didn't know what was wrong with his legs; they suddenly stopped obeying his commands.

Mrs. John was startled. "Why can't you get up? Are you suddenly feeling unwell?"

Without giving John a reply, she called her bodyguards and had them help him upstairs, then sent someone to fetch a doctor.

"Miss Wanyu, is that right?"

Mrs. John turned to look at Shu Mowan, her eyes full of scrutiny. "I know my son likes you, but if I find out you're taking advantage of his affections to make a move on him, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The John family is no pushover in Country F.

Shu Mowan wasn't afraid at all. "Please go ahead, Madam."

This means she can look it up however she wants.

Mrs. John disliked her haughty attitude and disapproved of John Lu's idea of ​​marrying her.

“Miss Wanyu, with your disrespectful attitude towards your elders, you really don’t deserve to enter the John family.”

Mrs. John said bluntly.

Shu Mowan immediately laughed, "Brother Si, did you hear what she said?"

"I heard that. She doesn't want you to enter the John family."

Si Tingyu agreed.

Shu Mowan raised an eyebrow: "I have such a good fiancé like you, why would I want to marry into her family?"

"Who knows, maybe it's just delusions."

Si Tingyu unleashed his sharp tongue, saying, "Some people are so used to being high and mighty that they think everyone wants to come through this door."

Mrs. John's face turned very ugly as they subtly implied something about her.

She took several deep breaths to maintain her composure in public, "Are you engaged?"

"What, doesn't it look like it?"

Si Tingyu reached out and put his arm around Shu Mowan's waist. "I'm a handsome man, Wanwan shouldn't be so blind as to go looking for your good son, don't worry."

Mrs. John was furious, but she couldn't refute her.

Anyone could see that Si Tingyu was slightly better looking than his son.

Since Wanyu already has a fiancé, why did her son still invite her to come and meet his future daughter-in-law? It made her lose face in front of others.

I can't swallow this insult.

"It would be best if it didn't. My John family would never want a woman who is so disrespectful to her elders."

After saving face for herself, Mrs. John turned and went upstairs.

"There's no more excitement to watch, everyone should go back to what they were doing."

Shu Lingxian addressed the onlookers.

Only then did everyone look.

Seeing Mrs. John get her comeuppance would definitely be a great topic of conversation for them.

Those who were on good terms with Shu Lingxian called him aside and whispered a reminder that it was best not to offend Mrs. John too much, otherwise he might have a hard time proceeding with his future shows in F country.

After all, this is John's family territory, so everyone has to give Mrs. John some face.

Shu Lingxian remained unfazed, her arrogance undiminished: "Do you think I'm afraid?"

Putting aside his famous name, with the Shu family as his backing, he couldn't possibly be afraid of the so-called John family.

Seeing this, the designer who was on good terms with him, thinking of Mousse's reputation, laughed and said, "I was indeed overthinking it. I was actually worried that you wouldn't be able to make it in F country."

Even if she doesn't participate in the fashion shows in Country F, Mousse can still develop her career in other countries and won't have to worry about finding a job.

Shu Lingxian patted his shoulder, "I know you're doing this for my own good."

"Musi, quite a few other dignitaries have come this time. Would you like to come with me to get to know them?"

The designer changed the subject, "I heard that some people are your fans and have been looking for an opportunity to meet you. It all depends on whether you give them that chance?"

Shu Lingxian glanced at Shu Mowan and saw that Si Tingyu was following her closely. He thought to himself that his sister was destined to be taken away by Si Tingyu, so he wouldn't stay and be a third wheel.

Let's go.

He said.

The two went to the other side.

"Wanwan, I noticed you haven't eaten much tonight. Would you like to go to the food area and get something to eat?"

Si Ting Yu Dao.

Shu Mowan glanced at her phone; there was still half an hour before the banquet started, so she nodded.
