Chapter 669 Mohist Banquet
In a blink of an eye, it was the time they had agreed upon, and Mo Jianye led Qiao Yanmeng to the banquet hall of the Mo family.
"Meng Meng, don't be nervous. You are the real protagonist of this cocktail party."
During these few days, he had imagined countless scenes of leading Qiao Yanmeng back to the Mohist school.
He could return quietly or with great fanfare, or even make it a little more exaggerated and announce to the world that he had a baby girl. Maybe Jian Qiyue would also see the news and come back to him.
But in the end, these ideas were denied one after another by Mo Jianye, and he decided to use the most traditional method to bring Qiao Yanmeng back to the Mo family.
And now, although he was already annoyed at the venue, Mo Jianye looked even more nervous than Qiao Yanmeng.
"After the cocktail party, I will take you back to the old house to get familiar with the environment there. I won't ask you to stay. But your mother once lived here, so I think... you should be willing to come back and take a look."
Mo Jianye sighed, his expression clearly showing sadness.
"Don't say those sad words. Do you want to wait for Zhan Tingbei here?"
Qiao Yanmeng shook her head: "No need, I'll just go in and wait for him. He just told me he was in heaven."
Unfortunately, the time Mo Jianye set happened to coincide with Zhan Tingbei's business trip.
But Zhan Tingbei has always been reluctant to let Qiao Yanmeng attend any banquet alone.
He has always had a heavy filter for Qiao Yanmeng's personal charm, and he wished he could be tied to Qiao Yanmeng's belt.
Therefore, when he learned that Qiao Yanmeng was going to attend a cocktail party today, Zhan Tingbei specially arranged a private jet early in the morning to discuss cooperation in the afternoon and then rushed back directly.
Although Qiao Yanmeng found it difficult to accept his vanity, she knew that he would not be easily changed by just a few words from her. Besides, she was already used to it.
Mo Jianye nodded and chuckled, "Okay, I guess he won't be late. Go in and look around. I'll go get ready first."
Qiao Yanmeng had no objection. After getting off the car, they went their separate ways. Mo Jianye went to confirm the schedule for tonight, and Qiao Yanmeng had already walked to the lobby.
Although it was still early for the banquet to start, many people had already arrived. She was not very interested in such occasions. She looked around and saw a familiar figure.
"Jian Chun." Qiao Yanmeng approached and startled Jian Chun who was holding a small cake. She stroked her chest and said, "I was scared to death. I thought it was my mother. Yanmeng, you are here too?"
"also?"
Qiao Yanmeng was a little curious about the simple wording, "Is there a rule that I can't come to the Mo family's banquet?"
"That's not the case." Jian Chun waved her hands and explained quickly, "Mo Yunsheng has always been in charge of drawing up the list for Mo's banquets. You just beat her at the Perfume Competition. If you show up again now, wouldn't you steal all her limelight? If I were Mo Yunsheng, I wouldn't be willing to invite you either."
Jian Chun bumped Qiao Yanmeng's arm and said, "Also, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were Piao? You clearly know how much I like Piao, so do you still consider me a friend?"
"I told you a long time ago that maybe you have seen it before, but you didn't believe it, did you?"
Jian Chun was speechless for a moment, and pouted her lips and said, "No matter what, you have kept it a secret from me. I will forgive you if you give me two bottles of the collector's edition perfume as punishment."
"Okay, I'll send it to you later."
"Isn't this the one from Qiao's house? What is it?"
A sarcastic voice came from behind the two of them. Qiao Yanmeng turned around expressionlessly and saw two tall women in exquisite dresses with contemptuous looks on their faces.
It is not much different from Mo Yun's style during his lifetime.
"Don't you usually follow Zhan Tingbei eagerly? Why, you feel so proud of yourself that you won Yunsheng recently, and you don't even need to follow your master anymore?"
Are you trying to insult me on purpose?
Qiao Yanmeng looked at them coldly and suddenly said, "So you all knew that I won. It seems that Miss Mo is more generous than I thought. I almost thought that she was like she was at the Perfumery Conference, someone who can't afford to lose."
