Mo Jing walked on the carpet in crystal high heels that were over ten centimeters high, making a soft, almost imperceptible sound. Holding Mo Xiangtian's arm, she walked towards the banquet with confident and aloof steps, like a noble princess or a flower on a high mountain, so precious and elegant.
Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
Mo Xiangtian watched with satisfaction as everyone cast admiring glances at Mo Jing. Excellent, his daughter was meant to be a princess, the center of attention. Not like those old fogies in the Han family who deliberately smeared her, calling her a jinx with a bad temper, someone who couldn't get married. Today, he was going to bring her out to see if his daughter was a grain of sand or a pearl, and after he and the Han family broke off the engagement, who was blind to her true worth, and who suffered the greater loss.
...
A crescent moon hung high in the branches, illuminating the eerie and terrifying black hut ahead.
This is the outskirts of the city, sparsely populated and surrounded by trees. This hut seems to be used by hunters for resting, so no one lives here normally.
There is a highway about a hundred meters behind the woods.
A chilly evening breeze swept by, and a red figure stumbled out of the dark house. It was a beautiful and sexy young woman, but her disheveled black hair and rumpled clothes made her look somewhat disheveled.
His clothes were probably torn while walking through the woods, and he also had some cuts on his face.
There was no one around, only the occasional chirping of birds from the woods. Terrified, she felt as if a ghost was chasing her. She fell to the ground, then scrambled to her feet and ran away, her bare feet crunching on the fallen leaves and twigs.
Keep going, try harder, and she'll definitely make it out.
A tall, slender figure slowly emerged from behind, bathed in moonlight. Golden hair shone brightly in the moonlight; handsome, Western features were clearly defined; a seductive smile played on his lips, a smile as poisonous as a poppy, utterly eerie.
Their steps were slow, as if they were simply strolling under the moonlight.
No, don't come any closer!
The girl in front of him had tears of terror in her eyes. When she turned around and saw that figure, she was so frightened that her legs almost went weak. But she wanted to run away. She didn't want to fall into the hands of this pervert again. She didn't want to die. He was too scary. He was just too scary.
With a thud.
A tree trunk lying across the woods tripped her, and her legs, clad in sheer stockings, scraped the ground, drawing blood. Trembling with fear, she braced herself with her hands and desperately backed away.
"What an impolite girl! I invited you to my performance, and you ran off halfway through. That's not good, you naughty girl." The man's voice was magnetic and pleasant, quite captivating. But in this quiet, eerie place, it felt like a devil's call, filling her with fear.
...
"I never expected to meet you again on such an occasion." Zou Shijie smiled politely, his handsome features making him look like a very refined gentleman. And in fact, Zou Shijie could indeed be described as a gentleman.
Mo Jing smiled slightly, though her expression remained somewhat cold. "I didn't expect we'd meet so soon."
"Did you know that the Han family will also be attending the banquet today?" The matter between the Mo family and the Han family has been widely discussed in high society, so he reminded Mo Jing to be mentally prepared for meeting the Han family.
After all, many people at the scene enjoy watching a joke.
