Chapter 168 Meeting the Enemy
Chenchen tilted his head and said seriously:
"No! Sister Yan, you will look really good in this! Besides, didn't you say you were going to a class reunion? Of course you have to dress nicely."
Mu Nanyan was amused by Chenchen's words. In fact, she got up so early today to put on makeup just to attend the class reunion. Those people said that she relied on her looks to make a living and was a hangout with rich men. They also said that she would be a housewife after giving birth to a child. But she still insisted on dressing up beautifully and appearing in front of everyone to slap them in the face.
She changed into the long dress that Chenchen picked, and stood in front of the mirror to look at herself carefully. The dress was indeed very slim-fitting, showing off her perfect figure to the fullest.
In the mirror, she has exquisite makeup and elegant temperament, and looks radiant.
Mu Nanyan was a little uncomfortable looking at herself like this. She usually wore whatever was comfortable for her and rarely wore such slim-fitting clothes.
Mu Nanyan hesitated a little, looked at Chenchen and said:
"Chenchen, isn't it too conspicuous for Mom to dress like this?"
Chenchen looked at Mu Nanyan with shining eyes:
"No! Sister Yan, you look really good in this outfit! And as long as you're happy wearing it, why should you care about what others think?"
Mu Nanyan was touched when she heard Chenchen's words. She squatted down and gently hugged Chenchen:
"Chenchen, you're right. Mommy dresses up beautifully not to please others, but to make herself happy."
She stood up and looked at herself in the mirror again, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised:
"Okay, then Mom will wear this today."
Mu Nanyan glanced at the time and saw that it was almost time, so she picked up her bag and prepared to go out. She looked at Chenchen and said:
"Chenchen, Mommy's out. You have to behave yourself at home. If you have any problems, call Mommy. Okay?"
Chenchen nodded, his little face full of confidence:
"Sister Yan, don't worry! I will be good and wait for you to come back!"
Mu Nanyan smiled and kissed Chenchen's forehead, then turned and walked out of the house. She drove directly to Yunding Tianque according to the address Xu Xuanjiao gave her yesterday.
When she saw this address yesterday, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect that they would book such a high-end place for their party. It seems that someone has been doing well in recent years.
————
After Mu Nanyan arrived at Yunding Tianque, she took a look at the box number, which was box 135.
At Genting Highlands, the box number is not only the identification of the room, but also a symbol of wealth and status.
The more auspicious the number and the better the meaning, the harder it is to book a box.
Top-tier boxes like 666 and 888 are almost exclusive to the top wealthy families in Haicheng, and ordinary people are not even eligible to make reservations.
Mu Nanyan stood in the hall of Yunding Tianque, looking around, feeling a little unfamiliar.
When she came here before, she usually went to the fixed boxes and was not familiar with the location of box 135.
Seeing a waiter at the front desk, she walked straight over and asked politely:
"Hello, where is box 135?"
Her voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by three girls who were passing by not far away.
When the three heard the words "Box 135", they turned their heads at the same time and their eyes fell on Mu Nanyan.
One of the girls recognized her and called out tentatively:
"Mu Nanyan?"
Mu Nanyan looked over when she heard the voice and saw three elegantly dressed women staring at her. She looked at them carefully and finally only recognized Guan Xiaoxiao who was standing in the middle.
Seeing that Guan Xiaoxiao didn't respond immediately, the girl next to her said:
“It’s really you!”
As the girl spoke, she looked Mu Nanyan up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She didn't expect that after not seeing her for a few years, Mu Nanyan was even more beautiful and had a more outstanding temperament than when she was in college.
She couldn't help but mutter in her heart: Didn't someone say that Mu Nanyan became a housewife before? How does this look like a housewife? Are they teasing her?
"Who are you?"
Mu Nanyan raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in a calm tone.
"I'm Meng Ting, don't you remember me?"
As the girl spoke, she took off her sunglasses, revealing a face with delicate makeup.
Mu Nanyan finally saw her appearance clearly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:
"I remember, of course I remember? You're Guan Xiaoxiao's follower. I didn't expect that after all these years, you're still her follower."
"you……"
Meng Ting was choked by her words and was speechless for a moment. Her face turned red instantly and she almost had a fit.
But when she thought that this was Yunding Tianque, she swallowed back the curse words that were about to come out of her mouth.
After all, those who can come here are all well-known figures. If you make a fool of yourself here, it will be more trouble than gain.
Seeing that she was speechless, Mu Nanyan found it funny. Then she turned her gaze to the girl on Guan Xiaoxiao's left and asked calmly:
"So, you are Li Wen?"
"Um."
Li Wen nodded. She used to be the type of person who spoke little. Mu Nanyan felt that she had not changed much and was still as quiet as before.
Finally, Mu Nanyan's gaze fell on Guan Xiaoxiao.
Guan Xiaoxiao was dressed entirely in high-end couture, with jewels all over her neck and hands. When Mu Nanyan saw her for the first time, she thought she was the daughter of some nouveau riche.
Back in school, the two of them were notoriously at odds with each other for three reasons:
First, when the school held a beauty pageant, Mu Nanyan was elected with a high vote, while Guan Xiaoxiao came in second with a slight gap, and finally only got the title of beauty pageant in the design department. This made Guan Xiaoxiao feel dissatisfied and jealous of Mu Nanyan who won the first place.
Secondly, Guan Xiaoxiao's love for Su Muyang was almost known to everyone. She had openly pursued him for a long time, but in the end Su Muyang chose Mu Nanyan. This incident undoubtedly made Guan Xiaoxiao feel humiliated and her hostility towards Mu Nanyan deepened.
Third, in every year's final exams, Mu Nanyan always sits firmly at the top of her major, while Guan Xiaoxiao is always suppressed and can only take second place.
Over time, Guan Xiaoxiao was even nicknamed "eternal runner-up" by her classmates. This title became a thorn in her heart, and made her resentment towards Mu Nanyan even deeper.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke first. The atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.
The waiter at the front desk watched this scene and felt very nervous, fearing that they would start quarreling on the spot.
Finally, it was Meng Ting who broke the silence:
"Don't stand here, let's go, everyone is still waiting in the box."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Mu Nanyan again, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone:
"Were you asking where Box 135 is? You don't even know that? Oh, by the way, not everyone can come to a place like Yunding Tianque. It's normal that you haven't been there before. Come on, we'll take you in."
Meng Ting asked and answered her own questions, and her words were full of sarcasm towards Mu Nanyan. Guan Xiaoxiao smiled contemptuously, turned around and walked straight towards box 135, as if it was unnecessary to look at Mu Nanyan any more.
Mu Nanyan was speechless. She could feel the inexplicable sense of superiority from them, but she didn't understand where it came from.
She shook her head slightly, too lazy to argue with them, and followed them towards Box 135.
Along the way, Mu Nanyan walked calmly, not affected at all by their sarcasm.
