Chapter 42 Blackmailing Me
"Why?" Yun Jin asked puzzledly as she looked at the coat that Mu Lingfeng handed over.
Could it be that Mu Lingfeng thought the dress she was wearing was a bit cheap and was afraid of losing face?
When she followed Mu Lingfeng in just now, Yun Jin had been observing what the other girls inside were wearing. She felt deeply that it was fortunate that she had listened to Yang Qianqian's advice and put on this dress before coming here. If she had worn the dress she bought herself, Yun Jin would have felt ashamed.
But even so, compared with the dresses worn by those girls, Yun Jin felt that the dress she was wearing was too bad.
Could it be that Mu Lingfeng also saw this and gave her his coat to let her cover herself?
Seeing Yun Jin asking, Mu Lingfeng said impatiently: "The air conditioning in here is too cold. I don't want you to catch a cold here and use it to blackmail me."
How could Mu Lingfeng say that he didn't want to see those men staring at Yun Jin's exposed back, so he deliberately asked her to cover her back with his coat.
Just now, the way those men looked at Yun Jin made Mu Lingfeng very uncomfortable, so he ignored those people and pulled Yun Jin away.
After listening to Mu Lingfeng's explanation, Yun Jin defended herself, "Mr. Mu, I have thick skin and have been in good health since I was a child. I won't catch a cold easily. I really don't need this coat."
Yun Jin had finally managed to wear a beautiful dress, but she hadn't had time to appreciate it properly. She didn't want Mu Lingfeng's clothes to cover up the dress.
Besides, Yun Jin felt a little reluctant to wear a coat that carried Mu Lingfeng’s body temperature.
What happened that night was just an accident. Yun Jin didn't want to have anything to do with Mu Lingfeng other than work. The people invited tonight were all the well-known young masters and young ladies in Binhai, and these young masters and young ladies were most keen on finding out other people's gossip. Yun Jin didn't want others to misunderstand her.
Just as Yun Jin expected, when Mu Lingfeng took Yun Jin away, the group of people who had surrounded them started to discuss:
"Who is the woman who came with Mr. Mu? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"Looking at her appearance, could she be a newly debuted artist?"
"I've met a lot of female artists, but I don't think I've ever seen her?"
"Looking at Master Mu's attitude towards her, it seems a little different. This woman seems to be blessed. To be favored by Master Mu, she is quite capable."
"The dignified Mu family would allow such a woman of unknown origin to enter. Young Master Mu must be just playing with her and shouldn't take her seriously."
When everyone heard this last sentence, they all laughed in tacit understanding.
In their circle, it doesn't matter if there are many women around them, but the one who can be married home must be a woman of equal status to them.
Given the Mu family's status as a wealthy family in Binhai, they have strict requirements on this. As for Yun Jin, whose identity is unknown, everyone agrees that Mu Lingfeng is just attracted to her for the time being and can't possibly take her seriously.
At this time, Yun Jin had no idea that she had become the subject of discussion among everyone present. She still followed Mu Lingfeng tirelessly and accompanied him into the hall.
The people in the hall were of extraordinary status, but when they saw Mu Lingfeng coming in, they all stood up and gave him their seats.
Mu Lingfeng was not polite and sat directly in the center of the hall. As his female companion, Yun Jin naturally sat next to him.
"Mr. Mu, would you like to introduce them to everyone?" After the two of them were seated, a man sitting diagonally opposite Mu Lingfeng spoke.
Just as Mu Lingfeng was about to speak, he heard Jiang Huaijing's voice coming from the front: "Lingfeng, why are you here so late?"
Hearing Jiang Huaijing's voice, the man sitting on the other side of Mu Lingfeng stood up and gave his seat to the other party.
When Jiang Huaijing approached, he found Yun Jin sitting next to Mu Lingfeng. He quickly greeted her, "Secretary Yun is here too."
"Hello, Mr. Jiang!" Yun Jin nodded politely at Jiang Huaijing and responded with a smile.
Jiang Huaijing looked at Yun Jin, then at Mu Lingfeng, and smiled meaningfully.
Yun Jin stared ahead, ignoring Jiang Huaijing's expression.
On the other hand, Mu Lingfeng cared even less about Jiang Huaijing's smile.
Not getting the desired effect, Jiang Huaijing could only put away his smile and talk to Mu Lingfeng seriously about business: "Lingfeng, regarding the battery problem, have you found a solution now?"
Hearing Jiang Huaijing's question, Mu Lingfeng turned his head to look at Yun Jin and whispered in her ear: "Sit here for a while. I'm going to talk to Mr. Jiang about something."
Knowing that the two didn't want outsiders to overhear their conversation, Yun Jin nodded slightly.
Mu Lingfeng stood up and was about to leave the hall with Jiang Huaijing when he saw Zhu Ying walking towards them. Mu Lingfeng hurriedly went up to her and whispered something to her.
After saying that, Mu Lingfeng and Jiang Huaijing disappeared into the hall.
As soon as Mu Lingfeng left, Zhu Ying walked up to Yun Jin and said to her with a smile, "Lingfeng has something to talk to Huai Jing about. He told me to take good care of you."
"Sister Zhu Ying, if you have something to do, just go and do it. I can handle it alone." Yun Jin responded with a smile, not wanting to embarrass Zhu Ying.
Mu Lingfeng said that Zhu Ying could not be called "sister", but Yun Jin felt it was inappropriate to call her by her name directly, so she simply added the word "sister" after her name. This way, she did not go against Mu Lingfeng's intention and also fully demonstrated her respect for Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying was very happy to hear Yun Jin call her like that. After sitting down next to Yun Jin, Zhu Ying started chatting with her.
The two of them didn't talk for long before Zhu Ying, the boss, was called away.
When Zhu Ying left, she entrusted Yun Jin to the care of a friend who was present.
Despite Zhu Ying's instructions, Yun Jin was still unable to warm up to the stranger she had never met before, and the other party's attitude was exactly the same as hers.
Feeling awkward sitting here, Yun Jin stood up and walked out of the hall.
She planned to stand outside the gate and wait for Mu Lingfeng.
Yun Jin had only taken a few steps when a man called her: "Beautiful lady, you are alone. I will buy you a drink."
Yun Jin politely shook her head at the other party and refused: "I'm sorry, I don't drink."
"Why did you come to the bar if you can't drink?" The man cursed when he heard Yun Jin say that.
But it was obvious that the other party did not forget that today was the opening day of the bar. Maybe he was worried that causing trouble here would arouse Zhu Ying's dissatisfaction with him. After cursing a few words, the man left.
Watching the man's back as he left, Yun Jin suddenly felt relieved. In such an occasion, she didn't want to cause trouble and embarrass Mu Lingfeng.
The little incident just now made Yun Jin want to go outside, and she quickened her pace.
"Why are you walking so fast? Did you offend someone in there that you shouldn't have offended? Are you worried about the other party's revenge, so you're running so fast?"
Before Yun Jin reached the front door, he heard a familiar voice coming from the corner.
