"This... How come Mu Hengshi's clothes are the same as mine?" Song Qingmo saw Mu Hengshi wearing the same haute couture dress as his own. If he said he wasn't shocked, he would be lying. Now that the dress was on him, Song Qingmo felt uncomfortable all over. He had come in a hurry today and hadn't made much preparation. Now everyone was staring at him and Mu Hengshi. There was a hint of amusement on his face.
Song Qingmo didn't care that anyone was watching him. He hurried out of the banquet hall and made a phone call in the garden, asking the housekeeper to bring him his other clothes. He couldn't figure out what Mu Hengshi was doing. He was 100% sure that he didn't deliberately wear the same clothes as him. If he said it was a coincidence, Song Qingmo would definitely not believe it. There was no such coincidence in the world. Then Mu Hengshi must have done it on purpose. Song Qingmo suppressed the strange feeling in his heart. If this was really the case, then he and Mu Hengshi might not even be friends in the future.
The real protagonist of this banquet hadn't appeared yet, but Mu Hengshi's mind wasn't on Su Muxue. He was here today to slap her in the face and cancel the engagement. A few months ago, they relied on their lack of strength and had no choice, but today things were about to turn around. The Su family wanted to marry him, so let's try the bankruptcy crisis first. It wouldn't be too late to talk about it after the Su family got through this robbery. Anyway, after today, the Su family no longer had the face to force the Mu family to tie him together. After all, after that incident, the Su family's reputation and status would be lowered. Given his parents' profit-seeking character, they would definitely cancel this marriage smoothly even if he didn't say anything.
Mu Hengshi looked at Song Qingmo's receding figure and chuckled softly. He had offended his own people before, and he would not let them go. Those who let him down would also have to pay the price.
Mu Hengshi was doing this on purpose today. He wanted to act like he had a close relationship with Song Qingmo in every situation. Didn't Song Qingmo want to get rid of him? Then let him try and see what it felt like to always be associated with him.
The banquet was about to begin. Song Qingmo waited outside for the housekeeper to bring the clothes. Both families had already left. Today, Su Muxue was wearing a black evening gown. Her silk skirt, layered with layers, revealed her diamond-studded high heels. She wore a headband strung with gemstones and a brilliant sapphire necklace around her neck. A pool of blue emerged from the white snow. As the light shone down on her, Su Muxue's dress instantly shimmered with water, like a galaxy flowing through her skirt.
Su Muxue's family took this marriage very seriously, as evidenced by her attire today. A few days ago, the company ran into problems and was raided by the government, which had a significant impact on the Su family. They had no choice but to tie Su Muxue and the Mu family together before the news got out.
At this moment, the Su family members were all paying close attention to today's banquet. They were too lazy to pursue the misunderstanding that had occurred between Mu Hengshi and Song Qingmo.
Song Qingmo still hadn't waited for the housekeeper to deliver his clothes. Unexpectedly, the police arrived first. Several middle-aged men in police uniforms, looking respectful, entered Ding Yaobo Forest, carrying several folders and handcuffs. Police cars were still parked outside the hotel. The sirens blared, signaling that someone was going to be in trouble today.
Su Muxue and the others were originally talking with other aristocratic families, and were about to go on stage to exchange rings and successfully get engaged. But then, something unexpected happened, and the police came in and handcuffed Su Ce, the current CEO of the Su Group.
"Hello, Mr. Su. You are suspected of tax evasion totaling over 500 million yuan, and are involved in multiple shady businesses. A construction site incident occurred a year ago. We have gathered evidence and are formally arresting you," the officer explained as he handcuffed Su Ce. Although the Su family was still a prominent figure in the capital, the Mu family had been secretly suppressing him, and with the evidence so clear, they had no choice but to arrest Su Ce, risking offending the Su family.
The Su family's CEO was blatantly abducted during today's engagement party. Everyone was shrewd and knew that the engagement would probably not go through. Now that the Su family had such a scandal, the Mu family would definitely regret it.
On the platform, Mu Heng, who had been so gentle just now, put down the ring he was about to put on Su Muxue's finger when he saw the police had arrived. His face turned very cold. He leaned close to Su Muxue's ear and whispered, "This is a gift from me to your ex-fiancée. Do you like it?"
Everyone around was staring at the direction where Su's father was taken away, and did not notice that Mu Hengshi's expression had changed at this moment, and he was whispering something to Su Muxue. Su Muxue's expression was no longer as gentle and considerate as before. Now her face was full of fear, her eyes were wide open, and her lips moved up and down as if she wanted to say something, but when she saw Mu Hengshi's cold eyes, Su Muxue silently shut up again.
Is this Mu Hengshi's revenge? Who would have thought that the young man who was powerless to resist a few months ago would become so scheming in just a few months. Sure enough, Su Muxue underestimated the Mu family and Mu Hengshi. She thought they were evenly matched, but now she has suffered a crushing defeat. "Mu Hengshi, you will get your retribution. I didn't expect you to be so cruel." Su Muxue naturally couldn't take revenge on Mu Hengshi now. Now she just wanted to go to the police station to see how her father was doing. But she still wanted to uphold the pride of the Su family's daughter. She held her skirt with both hands, raised her head, tried hard to control her tears, and slowly walked off the stage.
Song Qingmo didn't care whether her clothes would steal the limelight from today's heroine. After all, Su Muxue and the others had stolen the limelight in a sense. When Song Qingmo walked into the banquet, he saw Su Muxue walking down the stage with a pale face, and an expression of loneliness and regret.
