Bian Zihan was about to continue speaking when a fist suddenly appeared and hit him hard in the chest.

"Hey, Bian Zihan! So you're here, you idiot!"

The punch was not light, as if it was delivered with deliberate prank, and all the strength of the body was concentrated on this punch.

Bian Zihan groaned.

As soon as he heard the sound and the noisy voice, he guessed who had come.

Ning Miaoran and Mu Ci are two people of the same bad character. Ning Miaoran grew up with Chu Xi and Bian Zihan, but later she somehow met Mu Ci, and the two of them really hit it off at first sight, and started to make love with each other as they had similar interests.

As soon as he saw her coming, and then glanced at Mu Ci who looked calm and didn't show any panic that he was about to be exposed, Bian Zi Han understood something instantly, gritted his teeth and cursed secretly in his heart.

I didn't expect that she would let Ning Miaoran be the shield in advance, huh!

Afterwards, Ning Miaoran and Bian Zihan exchanged a few pleasantries for the sake of appearance, then turned their heads and looked surprised.

"Hey, Yuan Jing, why are you here too? When did you get to know that idiot Bian Zihan?"

He slapped Yuan Jing on the shoulder again, then muttered something and took Yuan Jing and the unwilling Bian Zihan away.

Currently, only Mu Ci and Chu Xi are left.

In fact, it was she who called Ning Miaoran. Of course, she went to call Ning Miaoran on purpose, and Ning Miaoran would also come to the banquet. After all, the Ning family and the Chu family have always been on good terms, and it would be unreasonable for her not to show up. Mu Ci only asked Ning Miaoran to arrive early and then keep an eye on Bian Zihan's movements.

After all, her previous affairs were caught by Bian Zihan. She had to prepare countermeasures in advance to be on the safe side. After all, Zihan had done too many outrageous things.

But what she didn't expect was that Bian Zihan actually brought Yuan Jing directly in front of her and planned to confront him face to face, haha.

Mu Ci looked at Bian Zihan's back as he was dragged away by Ning Miaoran, and secretly remembered this grudge against Bian Zihan in his heart.

Chu Xi, who had hardly said a word from beginning to end, suddenly spoke at this moment. His voice was a little cold and indifferent. He tilted his head slightly to look at Mu Ci, and then said, "The man just now knew you."

This is a statement, calm and firm.

Mu Ci froze for a moment, then said, "I'm so famous, it's not surprising that you know me."

"What is the relationship between you two?" Although Chu Xi said this in the same way as usual, Mu Ci could hear the anger in his words.

Is this...is this jealousy?

I don’t know if it was out of real jealousy or just a man’s pride, but no matter what, it made Mu Ci happy.

She raised her lips, her eyes flashing with an unknown light: "What do you want me to answer?"

Hearing her speak so vaguely and deliberately blurring the topic, it seems that she doesn't want to give a direct answer.

Chu Xi frowned. The other party just stared at him straight. At this moment, their positions seemed to be reversed, and it was more like she was questioning him.

The woman just looked at him like this, her eyes were shockingly bright at this moment, open and unrestrained yet with some other inexplicable color.

Somehow, the depressed mood in Chu Xi's heart just now had almost dissipated at this moment. In the end, he just turned his head away with a cold face, as if deliberately avoiding Mu Ci's gaze.

There wasn't even an ounce of confidence in those cold and hard words.

"It's better if it doesn't matter. Don't forget your identity."

Mu Ci found this guy's reaction quite amusing, so he smiled again, grabbed his arm again, and then pulled it closer to himself.

"Of course I won't forget. I'm your wife, how could I forget? Let's go, let's go inside. It's getting late now. I guess Mom will scold us again if we go back later!"

Her words were so natural and straightforward that Chu Xi was unable to react for a moment. He just let her pull him into the house.

When Mu Ci dragged Chu Xi over, he found someone he didn't want to see at all.

Best Wishes!

Although I can guess that I will inevitably run into her at this party, but...what is she doing? ! !

She was chatting with Chu's mother? !

Does he really want to get promoted, or is he completely ignoring her? Her legal wife is still alive, but he is just thinking about getting along well with her imaginary mother-in-law?

Although he thought it was ridiculous, Mu Ci was still quite angry when he saw this scene.

After the two of them walked over, Chu's mother saw Chu Xi from a distance. When she got closer, she frowned and said directly, "Why are you so late? Today is your brother's birthday, and you don't want to serve snacks? Even if you are busy at work, you have to prioritize!"

Chu Xi didn't react at all. There was no expression on his face. At this moment, his face was as cold as before. Then he hummed casually as a response.

Mu Ci, who was listening at the side, was about to explode with anger.

Although she had a general understanding of Chu Xi's situation in the Chu family from the messages, Mrs. Li's words, and even some of Chu Xi's reactions these days, she really couldn't stand seeing this reaction in front of her.

Mu Ci suppressed his temper and said with a smile, "Mom, isn't this an urgent matter at the company? Chu Xi is the only one running the company now, how can she not be busy? Besides, Chu Xi specially selected gifts for you, Grandpa Chu, and Chu Zhuo, but she rushed here in such a hurry without even taking a break."

You are a bit too biased.

Mu Ci didn't say the rest, but Chu's mother should know what she wanted to say. Seeing that Chu's mother's expression looked a little better than before, Mu Ci sneered in his heart.

But when she said this, she turned the blame onto herself. Mother Chu frowned and looked at Mu Ci. She didn't expect that Mu Ci would actually speak up for Chu Xi this time. If it were the same as in the past, she probably wouldn't even call her mother.

Chu's mother was about to say something, but was interrupted by a scream from the side.

"Ah, you! Why are you here? And you're calling people randomly!" She only dared to call her aunt, but she didn't expect that this person would even call her mother. She really underestimated this person. This time, he dared to attend the banquet with Chu Xi so openly.

As soon as Mu Ci saw Zhu Qingqing's reaction, he knew that she had some extraordinary thoughts in her mind. Then he smiled maliciously, pulled Chu Xi's arm again, and then put his head on Chu Xi's shoulder and leaned in slightly.

"I am his female companion this time, so of course I have to be here! After all, I like him so much!"

Mu Ci followed her ideas and did what she said, with a different light flashing in his eyes, as if saying, see, I dare to do what you can't do!

However, Mu Ci did not notice that Chu Xi beside her froze instantly when she moved closer to him. He listened to the words she blurted out with deep eyes and red ears.

Zhu Qingqing was stimulated by the scene in front of her. Her rationality was almost completely burned out by jealousy at this moment. She wished she could just go forward and completely pull these two sticky people apart.

She was about to say something rude, but unexpectedly, at this moment, Chu's mother next to her interrupted her.

"Zhu Qingqing! Calm down! This is Chu Xi's wife, the eldest daughter of the Mu family. If she is not Chu Xi's female companion, then who is she?"

Although Zhu Qingqing has been very much to her liking recently, and she has also been thinking about whether she can marry Zhu Qingqing after Chu Xi and Mu Ci divorce, but for now, she still has to consider Mu Ci's face, after all, Mu Ci is still the Mu family behind him.

No matter what, the Mu family is not easy to mess with, and Mu Ci is the favorite granddaughter of the old lady of the Mu family.

Thinking of this, Mother Chu looked at Zhu Qingqing with a hint of barely perceptible contempt in her eyes. After all, she was not from a wealthy family and did not even have this bit of courtesy.

But since it was easy to control, she didn't care too much about it.

While Chu's mother was scolding Zhu Qingqing, she put the matter behind her.

Mu Ci looked at the two people and found it boring, so he pulled Chu Xi aside.

It was rare that the other party understood what she meant, then said goodbye to Chu's mother and went to Old Master Chu's place.

Old Master Chu is in the study at the moment. His current health condition is not very good, so he is not entertaining guests downstairs like Chu's mother. Chu's father is also there at the moment.

"Chu Xi is here."

When Chu Xi arrived, he was greeted with these words.

This was said by Old Master Chu. Every word in his words carried a kind of stern and deliberate suppression. There was no feeling of kindness at all, as if he only regarded Chu Xi, his own grandson, as the heir to the family group and believed that Chu Xi was destined to work hard for the family.

This is also written in the plot.

Mu Ci stood beside Chu Xi, looking at Old Man Chu and Chu's father beside him, his heart filled with coldness.

These people are Chu family members, relatives of Chu Xi, but no one of them really cares about him. No wonder Chu Xi has become such a cold-hearted and lonely guy.

After Chu Xi responded, Mu Ci calmly greeted Mr. Chu and Mr. Chu's father.

Old Master Chu glanced at her and just nodded, then began to talk to Chu Xi about some things related to the group. In the final analysis, he asked Chu Xi to continue to work harder and devote herself to the Chu Group.

Haha, if these people weren’t present, Mu Ci would have just rolled his eyes.

When these things were almost explained, a man who was about three or four years younger than Chu Xi walked in directly from the door. Although he was a little younger than Chu Xi, he was also a complete adult.

The man looked 70% similar to Chu Xi, but when compared with Chu Xi, Chu Xi surpassed him by an unknown amount in both appearance and temperament.

This man should be Chu Zhuo, Chu Xi's younger brother, the real host of this birthday party.

When he came in, he didn't even look at Chu Xi, and then walked straight to Old Man Chu, called him "Grandpa" affectionately, then tilted his head and smiled at Chu's father, and then turned to Chu Xi.

"Big brother is here!"

Chu Xi remained expressionless and responded in a cold voice.

As soon as Chu Zhuo came in, Old Master Chu's expression changed instantly. With a kind and smiling face, he patted Chu Zhuo's hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhuo, you are the birthday boy today. Why did you come up here instead of staying downstairs to get to know the guests?"

Chu Zhuo replied: "I just want to go down with Grandpa! I have to make a wish to give all the good luck this year to Grandpa!"

Old Master Chu looked helpless: "You! You only know how to make me happy!"

Chu's father on the other side also had a smile on his face.

Looking at the harmonious and beautiful family scene in front of her, Mu Ci also smiled, and she sneered.

hehe.

This family is really interesting.

Although the eldest son and the youngest son need to bear different responsibilities, but the attitude can not be so different. People are all made of flesh and blood. Chu Xi works so diligently for the Chu family, how can he not even deserve a verbal greeting?

If the way of treating different people is different, then why is it that the Chu family's attitude towards Chu Xi, which she saw, is nothing but oppression?

Mu Ci was so angry that she didn't say anything. She just turned her head to look at Chu Xi who was standing beside her.

He just stood there, looking coldly at the harmonious and warm family in front of him, as if he was just an outsider.

He couldn't interfere with this kind of atmosphere, nor did he want to.
