In a corner not far away, Li Zhanting sat upright with his legs elegantly crossed.
The banquet hall was vast, and the soft lighting cast a shadow on his handsome face, perfectly isolating the man from the noisy world inside.
The man's deep eyes were fixed on Gu Momo's direction, while he kept glancing at his watch with a hint of impatience, his handsome face showing clear signs of unease.
Recently, his relationship with Momo has become noticeably closer than before, but for some reason, he always feels that Momo only sees him as a comrade-in-arms.
But what he wanted was never just a comradeship.
What kind of obstacle is standing in his heart?
The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became. Just then, he sensed a familiar figure approaching him.
Li Zhanting quickly looked up, only to see Gu Momo walking slowly up to him: "I already know the gist of Fu Yunxin's situation. I don't want to attend this music banquet anymore. I'm going to pick up Qingluan and leave..."
Sensing the indifference in her eyes, Li Zhanting's heart tightened slightly, and he quickly stood up and grabbed Gu Momo's hand.
"MoMo..." His eyes narrowed slightly, his expression serious, as if he had a thousand words to say.
Gu Momo glanced at his hand holding hers, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Mr. Ting, please speak frankly. I will tell you everything I know."
The smile in her eyes was ambiguous, a distant gaze that felt like a slow, agonizing torture to Li Zhanting's heart.
As if afraid that Gu Momo would say something he didn't want to hear, Li Zhanting's thin lips curled slightly: "It's nothing. If you want to leave, I'll leave with you. Anyway, I don't have anything to do here."
"Nothing to do?" Gu Momo's heart trembled. She knew why Li Zhanting had come here, but she still blurted out, "If there's nothing to do, then what are you doing here?"
A deep, enigmatic smile crept into Li Zhanting's dark eyes: "Does Momo really not know, or is she pretending not to know? Hmm?"
The man's deep, mellow voice, like intoxicating liquor, struck her heartstrings. Gu Momo met Li Zhanting's eyes, which shone with boundless tenderness, and her heart skipped a beat...
This wicked devil is causing trouble in her heart again!
"I'm not a mind reader, how would I know what you're thinking?" Gu Momo said, turning and walking away.
No sooner had she stepped over than she heard Ji Dandan's excited voice complaining, "Yes, brother! How could I possibly lie to you? Who among the younger generation in the entire capital can match your reputation? But Gu Momo doesn't take you seriously at all. You didn't see how arrogant she was on stage today. What does our Ji family even mean to her?"
Her tearful appearance was like that of a pure and innocent lotus flower, and many bigwigs from various circles around her could naturally see that she was stirring up trouble.
But who can interfere? You have to understand, the Ji family holds an unshakeable position in the music industry!
Gu Momo's delicate eyes crinkled with a playful chuckle, a hint of excitement lurking beneath the surface.
Ha, this isn't some snow-capped mountain range, so where did all these pristine white lotuses come from!
A domineering smile curved her lips: "Wait! She's changed her mind. I need to take care of something before I leave!"
After saying that, she walked enthusiastically toward the center of the hall, leaving Li Zhanting alone on the soft chair.
Li Zhanting raised an amused brow, his deep eyes crinkling with a doting smile, as he gracefully picked up his wine glass.
The way he looked, waiting to see the show, was just too dashing.
One of his bodyguards, who had been waiting silently beside him, couldn't help but swallow hard and asked curiously, "Mr. Ting, aren't you going to help Miss Momo?"
Li Zhanting gently swirled the wine glass with his long, slender, pale fingers, and parted his lips slightly: "What's the rush?"
His Momo was never a potted flower nurtured in a flowerpot. She came to take revenge on the scumbags, and all he needed to do was hand her the knife!
Thinking of this, Li Zhanting's eyes curled up slightly, and the smile in his eyes was reflected in the wine glass, making it somewhat eerie.
"Ha! Gu Momo is really something, daring to step on the head of the Ji family!" In the center of the hall, a man in a black suit slammed his hand on the table. "Does she think too highly of herself?"
The powerful figures from all walks of life around them were intimidated by the man's imposing aura and dared not speak out against him.
This is Ji Dandan's second brother, Ji Weiting. The Ji family holds a very high position in the music industry, and Ji Dandan's second brother is the pillar of the Ji family. He was regarded as a child prodigy by countless music bigwigs in his youth and is a well-deserved genius in the eyes of many people.
Besides, he's an advisor to the Alice International Music Foundation. If you dare offend him, you'll be ruining your own musical career!
Ji Dandan clearly saw the coldness on her second brother's face, and her eyes became even more aggrieved: "Yes, second brother, it was indeed wrong of me to forge the invitation, but who in the entire capital dares to slap our Ji family in the face? She dared to make our Ji family lose face in public, which means she doesn't respect you and eldest brother. Who knows what she's up to?"
"Ha! Gu Momo, is that it? What is she!" Ji Weiting said fiercely, completely disregarding what others thought of him.
From a young age, he was a musical prodigy in the capital, so he was used to being held in high esteem by music industry bigwigs.
But who knew that recently the media has been reporting on Gu Momo all over the place, and even Fu Yunxin and Zheng Peiling, whom he had been dreaming of getting close to, took the initiative to get close to Gu Momo. How could he tolerate this feeling of being trampled underfoot?
Unexpectedly, at that moment, Gu Momo's cold voice came with a chill: "So what are you? The most talented musical prodigy in the capital, and this is the ugly thing you've ever done? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Her clear, melodious voice, like a mountain stream, instantly drew everyone's attention.
Ji Weiting's sneer fell casually on Gu Momo, and in just one glance, it was as if his eyes were glued to her.
The woman before me was exquisitely beautiful and ethereal, exuding a captivating charm that was like a seductive poison.
A greedy glint appeared in his eyes as he chuckled mockingly, "Ha! What true genius in this world doesn't have some peculiar quirks? Besides, when your abilities reach a level that most people can't even dream of, people won't care about your outward appearance; they'll only be attracted by your talent. I'm afraid only a fake genius like Miss Gu would care so much about outward appearances, right?"
His words not only trampled on Gu Momo's musical talent, but also belittled the musicians around him.
The faces of the bigwigs from all walks of life turned ugly, but who dared to come out and criticize him?
After all, Ji Weiting's achievements and talent in the music industry are beyond their purview!
"Oh? Is that so?" Gu Momo smiled knowingly.
