Chapter 32

Zhang Xiaoli came into the hall with an unhappy look on her face, and people around her who were more familiar with her noticed something was wrong.

"Sister Xiaoli, what's wrong with you today?" It was the man who had chatted with Mo Keyu before.

"I'm fine, tomorrow night," she said, her voice beginning to tremble.

She never expected that her friend of several years would look at her like this. The last time she was so upset was because of Wei Nan. After giving birth, she was not only physically tired, but also always felt depressed and stabbed frequently. She even had an urge to cry.

"Really?" Shen Mingwan raised her eyebrows. The expression on her face couldn't be concealed even with makeup.

[Oh~ So he is Shen Mingli’s younger brother Shen Mingwan. No wonder he looked familiar to me before.]

Shen Mingwan looked around and seemed to hear someone talking about him?

Mo Keyu was standing behind Zhang Xiaoli. He noticed her at first sight, but she remained silent.

The two looked at each other, feeling somewhat awkward. Shen Mingwan spoke first: "It's you, Miss Hot Sauce, oh no, Miss Mo from the Mo Group."

"Hello." Mo Keyu greeted the other party politely.

[Where is Shen Mingli? Where is Shen Mingli? He is such a busy man.]

Mo Keyu looked around. The birthday party was about to begin. His second son had already arrived, and he, as the older brother, should be coming out soon.

Shen Mingwan had a solemn expression. He seemed to hear a voice looking for Shen Mingli, but the people around him were busy with their own things and no one seemed to be looking for anyone.

Zhang Xiaoli heard Mo Keyu's voice and knew that Mo Keyu couldn't ask directly because of his status, so she said to Shen Mingwan: "Mingwan, where is your cousin?"

"Oh, he's with Lao Ba, he'll be here soon."

The servants pushed in several racks of tall cakes with various patterns painted on them. Fruits were piled inside the cakes. The whole rack of cakes was a head taller than Mo Keyu, which made Mo Keyu very happy.

[Shashasha, when do we start eating?]

[Oh my god, the high-quality cream mixed with the rich fruit flavor, I can imagine how sweet it is just standing there!]

Shen Mingwan looked around, but no one opened their mouths. Miss Mo, who was closest to him, just stood there staring at the cake in a daze.

Miss Mo stared at the cake in a daze...

His eyes widened, wondering if he had awakened to some kind of mind-reading ability!

Just came back from abroad and haven't adjusted to the jet lag yet?

Zhang Xiaoli looked at Mo Keyu. Miss Mo seemed mature and taciturn on the surface, but actually... she was a person with a rich heart.

At the banquet, the three sisters saw Zhang Xiaoli from a distance and walked over after some hesitation.

Zhang Xiaoli was probably the only one taking care of the child in this huge mansion. They wanted to confirm whether Zhang Xiaoli heard what they just said based on the crying sound.

But even if they heard it, they felt that Zhang Xiaoli would forgive them.

After all, they knew each other since college and knew how soft-hearted she was, otherwise she wouldn't have been deceived by her ex-husband all the time.

"Xiao Li, you're here. We've all been waiting for you." Cheng Ke said, still smiling. Others knew they had a good relationship, so they couldn't tell anything.

The other person saw Mr. Shen next to him and became particularly attentive: "Tomorrow night, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How are you studying abroad?"

"Not bad." Shen Mingwan nodded politely.

Zhang Xiaoli's face was visibly ugly. The nanny standing next to her was relatively young and couldn't hide the truth. She was furious to see that group of people said one thing in front of her and another behind her back.

[OMG, how did they manage to be so shameless and come over after being caught doing something shameful?]

[If something really happens, a rich friend like this will be the first to kick you when you're down. How scary.]

The expressions of the three of them became visibly stiff, and seeing that the nanny next to them was glaring at them angrily, they were afraid that what they said might have been heard by the other party.

Zhang Xiaoli simply ignored them.

Shen Mingwan's brows were almost wrinkled into a ball. What on earth was this voice saying? It seemed like it was talking about those three sisters.

Seeing that there was nothing to see here, Mo Keyu turned around and started staring at the cake again. The three men saw that Zhang Xiaoli completely ignored them, so they had to give up.

When did Zhang Xiaoli become so strong-willed?

Just then, a message came from the crowd that Mr. Shen had come out, and immediately there was a commotion below.

Mo Keyu looked over and saw a tall figure in front of him. The man was walking in front. His handsome and cold face made people dare not approach him, and they could only admire him from afar. Mo Keyu often sighed that he was worthy of being a nobleman born in a big family, and his temperament was extraordinary.

Following behind was an older man with clear facial features and a straight body.

The two have similar eyebrows and eyes, although they have some traces of time and more mature charm.

[Wow, is this Shen Mingli’s dad? So handsome!]

[The two people look quite similar. Wow, is that Shen Mingli's mother in the back? So beautiful.]

The voice in his ear began to chatter endlessly, and Shen Mingwan really felt that he had awakened to some incredible mind-reading skills. He saw his cousin Zhang Xiaoli standing aside with a blank expression on her face, while the people around her were chatting with their friends, but it seemed that he was the only one who could hear it?

Mr. Shen came down and shook hands with the guests. Mo Zhengtian also stood there and shook hands excitedly.

"This is Shen Mingli's father." Zhang Xiaoli suddenly said to Mo Keyu.

"So this is Mr. Shen, he's really a gentleman." Mo Keyu said in an exaggerated tone, pretending to have just met the other person.

Shen Mingwan, who was standing by, was even more confused. Could it be that the mind he just read was fake? Was it something wrong with his brain that he made up?

What's more, the voice was so wild, completely different from the daughter of the Mo family in front of her!

Shen Mingwan patted his head, and the voice stopped for a while. However, it didn't take long for the voice to start muttering again:

[As expected, they are a family. They look alike, some are handsome and some are beautiful.]

[Ahhhhhh, a room full of leg sperm.]

[Eat the cake quickly, I want something sweet.]

[Oh, Mr. Shen is looking this way. Be more polite to your elders.]

…

In the end, Shen Mingwan gave up struggling, learned to adapt to the voice, and learned to believe in unnatural factors.

After a simple cutscene, they started distributing cakes to everyone. Several waiters were cutting pieces of cake, and Mo Keyu was drooling when he got his piece.

Most people had just finished their meal and this was just a dessert.

But for Mo Keyu, one plate was definitely not enough, he would not be satisfied until he kept eating sweet things. However, when the cake was finally divided, Mo Keyu did not want to ask for more because it would make him look greedy.

"I haven't touched this one yet, do you want some?" Zhang Xiaoli took the initiative to pass the cake on the plate to Mo Keyu.

"Is it okay?" Mo Keyu was polite, but in fact, he had been craving for it for a long time. It was indeed a custom-made high-end cake, and it was amazing in both appearance and taste.

"You're welcome. I can't eat anything too sweet lately," she said.

Mo Keyu finally said thank you and took the cake.

When did these two become so close? Shen Mingwan had been standing by.

His cousin was really strange. She was not as close to Miss Mo as she was to her own good sisters.

Although Zhang Xiaoli is a friendly person and very friendly to most people, she was a little too friendly to Mo Keyu when she met him for the first time.

The party was almost over when a girl hurried over in high heels.

Her hair was a little messy and her dress seemed to have been picked on the spur of the moment. She ran over with her cheeks flushed. She looked around in the hall for a long time and finally walked towards Zhang Xiaoli.

"Xiaoli, I'm sorry, I was late today because of something." She walked up to Zhang Xiaoli, gasping for breath and apologizing continuously.

When Zhang Xiaoli saw her, she was more enthusiastic than when she met the three sisters before. After all, they were friends who had grown up together and were better than real sisters.

"Hello, Sister Lin Qi." Shen Mingwan greeted her.

"Oh, it's tomorrow night. Long time no see." Lin Qi smiled at him gently.

Mo Keyu looked at the other person curiously. This dress looked like she had worn it before, not the latest custom-made one. The makeup on her face was probably temporarily applied in the car. The foundation was slightly uneven, and...

Mo Keyu's eyes caught a faint mark under her collarbone, like... a strawberry mark!

!

"It's okay, Qiqi. If you encounter any problems, you can tell me." Zhang Xiaoli held her hand.

"Nothing... nothing."

[Oh, so I’m being entangled by the Phoenix Man.]

Zhang Xiaoli frowned, and Shen Mingwan looked even more confused. He was about to go to his brother's place, but then he stopped and couldn't help but continue listening.

Lin Qi has been playing with Zhang Xiaoli since childhood, so Shen Mingwan naturally knows her.

"Qiqi, how are you and your recent boyfriend?" Zhang Xiaoli blurted out.

Lin Qi's eyes dodged, and her voice was a little bitter: "Very good."

[What a good thing! She had a quarrel with her family because of a Phoenix man. Her family froze her bank account and only left her a little living expenses.]

Mo Keyu couldn't help shaking his head. According to the system's description, Lin Qi was overly kind and gentle, and was quite similar to Zhang Xiaoli. The two of them were indeed the best of friends, both of them having a love brain.

[Alas, the man is here for her money, and uses love to brainwash her.]

[It’s better for a rich girl to be a little arrogant, otherwise she will always attract some dirty things.]

"Qiqi, if your current boyfriend is not good to you, you must tell me immediately. At worst, I can change him." Zhang Xiaoli felt bad when she saw her sister like this. "After all, I also blindly believed in someone before..."

[It's useless, she's already been pua, the other party is taking advantage of Miss Lin's soft heart and has her under control.]

[I finally understood. Miss Lin Qi was strictly disciplined by her parents since she was a child. She was exposed to good ideas. Now she was deceived by a ruffian who was good at sweet-talking.]

[You still need to be exposed to the dark side of society, otherwise you will be easily exploited by people with ulterior motives.]

Shen Mingwan stood aside and took out his cell phone. He seemed to be browsing the news on his phone, but in fact his ears perked up, curious about what had happened.

The other party is the eldest daughter of the Lin Group, no worse than their Shen family.

Sister Lin Qi is, after all, a top student who has received higher education abroad. She has an excellent background and appearance. She never expected that she would be deceived!
