Chapter 774: Blurred
Thinking of the reward Sunan promised him, a glint of greed flashed in the waiter's eyes.
"Second Master Su, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter for you!"
On the other side, because the woman deliberately amplified the sound, many people gathered together to watch the fun.
Jing Xuechu also came. When she saw Xiao Muzhen, she felt disgusted, but she still had a smile on her face.
After greeting Xiao Muzhen and the woman, she looked at the woman and said, "Yanyan, what's wrong? What happened?"
The woman called Yanyan sneered and said angrily, "I just said that Xiao Muzhen can't compare to you in any way except that she's prettier than you, and she called me a dog. Was I wrong?!"
As soon as she said this, everyone around her fell silent.
Jing Xuechu's expression also turned grim. What did she mean by "Xiao Muzhen is prettier than her?"
The woman in the yellow skirt noticed something was wrong and quickly tugged at her wrist, whispering, "Yan Yan, stop talking!"
"I'm going to say it! Xuechu, please judge for yourself. Am I wrong?"
Jing Xuechu frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.
This idiot, what did she let herself say?
Admit that you are indeed not as pretty as Xiao Muzhen?
Seeing Jing Xuechu didn't speak, she frowned, "Xuechu, why don't you speak?"
Jing Xuechu forced a smile and said slowly: "Okay, Miss Xiao was wrong to scold you, but you are not without problems when you compare me with her. Miss Xiao is also very outstanding, and no girl should like others to compare her with another girl."
After saying that, she turned and looked at Xiao Muzhen.
"Ms. Xiao, why don't you give me some face and let this matter go. After all, tonight is Mr. Huo's return to the Su family's family reunion banquet. It would be inappropriate for us guests to take over the main event."
Xiao Muzhen looked calm and nodded, "Then let's do as Miss Jing said."
However, the woman named Yanyan was still a little dissatisfied. When she was about to speak, she met Jing Xuechu's cold eyes. She was so scared that she trembled, lowered her head and dared not speak again.
She had never seen Jing Xuechu like this before... so scary...
Seeing that she didn't say anything annoying anymore, Jing Xuechu smiled and looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, please disperse. The party is about to begin."
After everyone left, Jing Xuechu walked up to Xiao Muzhen with an apologetic look on his face.
"Ms. Xiao, I'm sorry about what happened just now. It was my friend's fault. She shouldn't compare us. Besides, I think Miss Xiao is very capable and is no worse than me."
"It's okay. I know it's not Ms. Jing's fault."
Jing Xuechu smiled, as if relieved.
"I'm glad Miss Xiao doesn't mind. I have something else to do, so I won't bother Miss Xiao anymore."
After Jing Xuechu left, Chen Tian rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "You're such a good pretender!"
If it weren’t for what happened at Jing Xuechu’s birthday party, she might have really thought that this woman was kind!
Xiao Muzhen smiled and said, "That's normal. After all, it's not worth it to fall out over such a small matter."
People in the upper class are the most hypocritical. Even though they hate each other to the core, they still manage to put on an appearance of getting along harmoniously with each other.
A waiter came over with two glasses of juice and stood next to Xiao Muzhen.
"Ms. Xiao, Ms. Shen, this is the juice Mr. Huo asked me to bring you. He said he was busy today and he's sorry for not being able to entertain you well. Please bear with me."
There was a flash of surprise in Xiao Muzhen's eyes, and she unconsciously glanced at Huo Yunting who was standing in the crowd.
Would he be so careful?
Shen Tian took the juice from the waiter's tray and said with a smile, "Please tell him thank you for us."
"OK."
The waiter turned and walked towards Huo Yunting, saying something beside him. He suddenly looked up at Xiao Muzhen, then nodded and looked away.
"Zhenzhen, it seems Huo Yunting still has you in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the waiter to bring juice."
Xiao Muzhen lowered her eyes and looked at the two glasses of juice, feeling that something was strange.
She sat down next to Shen Tian and was about to speak when she saw the waiter in the corner looking furtively in their direction, and she became suspicious.
Seeing Chen Tian reaching out to pick up the glass of juice to drink, Xiao Muzhen frowned and stopped her, "Don't drink it!"
Shen Tian paused for a moment and asked with a puzzled look: "Why? I'm a little thirsty."
"This glass of juice might not have been sent by Huo Yunting."
"What?"
Seeing Chen Tian's shocked expression, Xiao Muzhen whispered, "I saw the waiter who brought the juice just now observing us stealthily in the corner. There's a high possibility that there's something wrong with these two glasses of juice. Just pretend to take a sip."
Shen Tian's hand holding the wine glass tightened unconsciously. She didn't expect that someone would dare to use such a trick at the Su family's banquet.
"Who the other party wants to deal with...is it you or me?"
Xiao Muzhen looked somewhat helpless, "If I'm not mistaken, they want to deal with me."
Shen Tian put the cup to her lips, pretended to take a sip, and then put it back.
"Could it be Jing Xuechu?"
The only person she could think of that Xiao Muzhen might have offended recently was Jing Xuechu.
Xiao Muzhen shook his head, "Not sure, but it should be related to her."
"So what do we do now?"
"That waiter is still looking at us. It looks like he's coming for me."
As he spoke, Xiao Muzhen picked up the glass of juice in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
Shen Tian was startled and quickly grabbed her hand.
"Are you crazy?! You knew there was something wrong with it, but you still drank it? What if it's poisonous?!"
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Xiao Muzhen stood up and walked quickly to the bathroom. After spitting out all the juice, she washed her face.
When she was a killer, she learned that if someone offered her drugged alcohol or a drink, and she couldn't refuse it, she would hold the alcohol in her throat and then find a chance to spit it out.
Moreover, she felt that the person who wanted to harm her would not blatantly poison her at the banquet. If she died, the Su family would probably turn the hotel upside down to find the murderer.
After washing her face, she turned around and was about to leave when she saw Su Nan walking towards the bathroom.
Her eyes turned cold. The party had just started, and Su Nan didn't stay with Su Baitian to make his presence felt, but ran to the bathroom. This made her wonder if he was the one who put drugs in her drink.
Xiao Muzhen lowered his head, pretended to be drunk, and stumbled forward.
There was a long corridor between the main hall of the banquet hall and the bathroom. Xiao Muzhen had just taken a few steps forward when a pair of men's leather shoes appeared in front of him.
Slowly looking up, Su Nan's smiling face appeared in front of him.
"Miss Xiao, what's wrong with you? Are you drunk?"
