Chapter 122 Is Brother Mu Yang here?
Mu Nanyan and Chenchen sat quietly in a corner of the banquet hall, as if this noisy banquet had nothing to do with them.
Mu Nanyan picked up a glass of juice and took a sip. Her eyes inadvertently swept across the crowd and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure - Yun Qianxue.
She was slightly stunned. She didn't expect to meet her here. This world is really so small that it makes people feel helpless.
Yun Qianxue seemed to have sensed something as well. She looked over and happened to meet Mu Nanyan's gaze. She was stunned at first, then a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, with a bit of disdain and provocation in her eyes.
She was wearing high heels, with an elegant posture but an aggressive aura, and walked straight towards Mu Nanyan.
Mu Nanyan frowned, not wanting Chenchen to see this scene, so she lowered her head and said to Chenchen:
"Chenchen, Mommy met an acquaintance and went over to say hello. You stay here and don't run around. I'll be back soon."
Chenchen raised his head and glanced at Yun Qianxue who was walking towards him, and said calmly:
"Sister Yan, you go ahead. I can handle it by myself."
Mu Nanyan nodded, feeling relieved at Chenchen's understanding. She stood up, adjusted her skirt, and walked towards Yun Qianxue.
The two stood in the middle of the banquet hall. Yun Qianxue crossed her arms and looked Mu Nanyan up and down, her tone tinged with sarcasm:
"Mu Nanyan, why are you here? Not everyone can come to this kind of occasion."
Mu Nanyan's expression was calm, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips:
"Ms. Yun, long time no see. For a business reception like this, isn't it true that anyone with an invitation can come?"
Yun Qianxue snorted coldly, her tone full of contempt:
"An invitation? How could you, a country bumpkin like you, be qualified to get an invitation of this caliber? Did you sneak in?"
Mu Nanyan looked at her directly, neither humble nor arrogant:
"Ms. Yun, you should have a basis for your words. Since I'm standing here, I must have received a formal invitation. But you, on the other hand, are so concerned about my background. Aren't you being a bit nosy?"
Yun Qianxue's face darkened at her attitude, and her tone became even sharper:
"Mu Nanyan, don't think that just because you've married into the Shen family, you can become a phoenix! No matter how powerful the Shen family is, it can't change the fact that you're just a country bumpkin! This kind of occasion is not the place for someone like you!"
Mu Nanyan chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone:
"Miss Yun, your upbringing is truly eye-opening. I don't need you to judge the status of the Shen family. As for whether I should come here, it doesn't seem to be your turn to dictate."
Yun Qianxue was choked by her words and was speechless for a moment. Her face flushed red and she gritted her teeth and said:
"Don't be so proud here! Don't think that you can be arrogant just because you have the support of the Shen family! I tell you, a woman like you is not worthy of this kind of occasion!"
Mu Nanyan's expression remained calm, and her tone was calm but carried a sense of authority that could not be ignored:
"Miss Yun, if you just want to talk about these boring things, then I'm sorry I can't accompany you anymore. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave. Yun Qianxue saw this and stamped her feet in anger, shouting at her back:
"Mu Nanyan, don't think you can always be so arrogant! Sooner or later, I will let you know that people like you are not worthy of standing here!"
Mu Nanyan paused, turned around and looked at her with a cold look:
"Miss Yun, instead of wasting your time here, you should think about how to improve your self-cultivation. After all, your behavior will only make people look down on you."
Yun Qianxue was so shocked by her gaze that she was speechless for a moment. When she came to her senses, Mu Nanyan had already walked away. She clenched her fists in anger, her nails almost digging into her palms, and secretly swore in her heart:
Mu Nanyan, just wait for me!
The moment Yun Qianxue stepped into the banquet hall, she had already made up her mind. Today, she came here to meet a very important person, someone she had been waiting for for a long time.
She didn't want to make things too awkward with Mu Nanyan. After all, they were related. If others knew that she had a sister who had lived in the countryside for many years, she would be the one who was embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Yun Qianxue took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in her heart, put on a decent smile on her face, and glanced around the banquet hall.
Soon, her eyes fell on a group of girls not far away. They were her "good sisters." Although they knew it was just a superficial friendship driven by interests, Yun Qianxue didn't care.
All she needed was their presence to highlight her identity and status. She walked towards them gracefully, her high heels making crisp sounds on the floor.
"Qianxue, you're finally here! We've been waiting for you for a long time."
One of the girls was sharp-eyed and was the first to notice Yun Qianxue. She immediately smiled and greeted her warmly.
When the other people heard the voice, they all turned around. When their eyes fell on Yun Qianxue, the smiles on their faces instantly became brighter.
They quickly gathered around, speaking compliments to her at once, as if Yun Qianxue was their closest friend.
Yun Qianxue smiled faintly, her eyes sweeping across their faces one by one, but she felt a little impatient in her heart. She knew that the reason these girls were so enthusiastic about her was only because of the Yun family behind her.
The status of the Yun family in Haicheng is enough to attract anyone. As the only daughter of the Yun family, she has been pampered by her parents and elders since she was a child, enjoying endless love and privileges. The compliments from these girls are already commonplace to her.
She ignored their flattery and asked directly:
"Is Brother Mu Yang here?"
"Not yet, but it should be soon."
One of the girls answered with a hint of caution in her tone. They all knew that Yun Qianxue's feelings for Mu Yang were no longer a secret.
Yun Qianxue nodded gently, a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes, and she murmured softly:
“I hope I can really see him this time.”
Her voice was very soft, as if she was talking to herself, but the girls around her still heard it. They exchanged glances but didn't say much.
"It seems like I haven't seen him in public for a long time. I don't know how he is doing now."
The other girl said tentatively, a hint of curiosity in her tone.
Yun Qianxue frowned slightly when she heard this, and then retorted:
"Brother Mu Yang will be fine."
Her tone was firm, as if she was trying to convince herself that she had been waiting for him all these years, waiting for his return, waiting for his appearance.
Now, she finally had news of him, and a hint of anticipation rose in her heart, as if all the waiting had meaning.
She raised her head and scanned the banquet hall again, as if looking for that familiar figure. Her fingers unconsciously clenched the wine glass in her hand, and her fingertips turned slightly white.
On the other side, after Mu Nanyan and Yun Qianxue had a quarrel, they walked towards where Chenchen was. When they passed by other people, they heard other people talking.
"Have you heard? It seems that the second young master of the Su family will come to the banquet today."
"Is this true? Didn't I hear that the second young master of the Su family went abroad for further studies? When did he come back?"
"I don't know, there's no news at all."
"Look at those celebrities, many of them are here for the second young master of the Su family."
"That's the Su family of Haicheng. Who wouldn't want to marry? You're kidding."
…
Mu Nanyan listened to their conversation and was really curious about who the second young master of the Su family was and why he was so popular with girls.
