Chapter 104.
In the brightly lit banquet hall, well-dressed men and women were chatting and laughing. Some people took the opportunity to reach a cooperation intention, but of course various things also happened in the dark corners.
In a remote corner, while Qian Yirong was surrounded by a crowd of people who wanted to please her, Mu Zexuan and Qian Chengshu found an opportunity to talk to Xu Baiqing. They both said with certainty that Qian Yirong was playing with Xu Baiqing and were still observing what Xu Baiqing thought of Qian Yirong.
Mu Zexuan was even more shocked and angry when he found out that Xu Baiqing was really attracted to Qian Yirong. He originally thought that Xu Baiqing stayed with Qian Yirong out of helplessness, but now it seems that Qian Yirong is very resourceful and actually tricked Xu Baiqing into falling in love with her.
"Bai Qing, you don't trust me and your brother as much as you do?" Mu Zexuan spoke in a panic. He knew that because of Qian Yirong, Xu Baiqing didn't trust him very much, so this time he specially called Qian Chengshu over.
"Yes, sister, we are blood relatives. You should trust me more than Qian Yirong, an outsider." Qian Chengshu deliberately used his sister to remind Xu Baiqing that they are one family.
"Let me think about it." Xu Baiqing said pretending to be hesitant.
"This is for you. Don't let Qian Yirong find out. The phone numbers of your brother and I are stored in it. Feel free to contact us if anything happens." Mu Zexuan was slightly happy to see Xu Baiqing wavering, then he took out a cell phone and handed it to Xu Baiqing, because he was worried that Qian Yirong would monitor Xu Baiqing's phone.
After all, Qian Chaowen wanted to use Xu Baiqing to steal the secrets of Qian Yirong's company, but he was tricked instead. This made Mu Zexuan think that maybe it was not that Qian Chaowen's plan was ineffective, but that Qian Yirong had been monitoring Xu Baiqing.
"...Okay." Xu Baiqing said, and put the phone given by Mu Zexuan into her bag.
"What are you talking about to my female companion? Can I hear it?" Just when Mu Zexuan wanted to say something to Xu Baiqing, his annoying and familiar voice rang out.
"We just wanted to catch up after not seeing each other for a long time. Is that not allowed? You are too overbearing, Qian Yirong." Mu Zexuan pretended to be reminiscing about the past, then turned around and looked at Qian Yirong, who came over at some point and looked unhappy.
"Of course I don't mind you reminiscing about the past," Qian Yirong chuckled. She glanced at Mu Zexuan and Qian Chengshu with disdain, then walked over to Xu Baiqing and sat down in front of them. She reached out and tucked Xu Baiqing's hair behind her ears, leaning closer to him and asking, "What did they tell you?"
Seeing Qian Yirong almost kissing Xu Baiqing's ear, Mu Zexuan couldn't help but want to step forward to stop her, but Qian Chengshu grabbed his arm first. Now, neither he nor Mu Zexuan could offend Qian Yirong, and they could not expose their conversation with Xu Baiqing, otherwise, not only Qian Yirong would be attacked, but they would also be attacked by Qian Yirong.
"Classmate Mu asked me if my injury has healed and when I will go back to school?" Xu Baiqing's face flushed slightly, but the answer made Mu Zexuan and Qian Chengshu look a little happy. Xu Baiqing was willing to conceal their previous conversation, which meant that Xu Baiqing had become suspicious of Qian Yirong and would be more likely to be instigated by them later.
Qian Yirong couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw the two people who couldn't even hide their expressions in the blind spot of their vision. They were so obvious, were they afraid that she wouldn't notice? If Xu Baiqing didn't want to play, these two people would never have been able to dance in front of them.
Xu Baiqing saw Qian Yirong's lively expression out of the corner of his eye and almost couldn't help laughing out loud, but her acting skills were much better than Mu Zexuan and the others. If Qian Yirong hadn't been so close, she probably wouldn't have seen the joy in Xu Baiqing's eyes.
"Okay, if there is nothing else, don't bother us here. As for when Bai Qing will return to school, it depends on her own wishes." Qian Yirong looked like she was following Bai Qing, which made Mu Zexuan feel angry.
"In that case, we won't bother you anymore." Qian Chengshu was more considerate. He could tell that Qian Yirong didn't welcome them. After saying that, he forcibly pulled Mu Zexuan away.
After they were a little further away, Mu Zexuan shook off Qian Chengshu's hand, looked at him angrily and said, "Why did you pull me away? Didn't you see Qian Yirong was taking advantage of Bai Qing?"
"I saw it, but what can you do now?" Qian Chengshu asked calmly.
Hearing him say this, Mu Zexuan's expression froze, his eyes full of humiliation. He knew that he and Qian Yirong were no longer on the same level. He was only the heir, while Qian Yirong was already in power. If he had a conflict with Qian Yirong, his father would force him to apologize to her.
"...I was impulsive. Let's wait for Bai Qing to contact us." After calming down, Mu Zexuan returned to his usual self. He said with a serious mind.
"Don't worry, if Bai Qing contacts me, I will tell you the first time." Qian Chengshu knew the deep meaning of Mu Zexuan's words, and he said.
After resolving this matter, the two had nothing to say. They looked at each other in silence for a while and then dispersed. Qian Chengshu wandered around the banquet, looking for someone who could help him take back the power of the Qian family, while Mu Zexuan returned to his father and looked at him chatting and laughing. He felt gloomy and didn't know what he was thinking.
At this time, Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing, after the outsiders left, looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Xu Baiqing found it funny when she thought of Mu Zexuan and Qian Chengshu coming over confidently to sow discord between her and Qian Yirong.
Do they really think that Xu Baiqing has any expectations for Qian Chaowen, who didn't even care about Qian Yirong's life in order to deal with her, or that the other members of the Qiao family who only care about her when she can bring benefits will have feelings for her? Treating Xu Baiqing as an indecisive and loveless child is an underestimation of her.
"Do you know what they want to do?" Xu Baiqing almost fell on Qian Yirong with laughter.
"I can guess. It's just like Qian Chaowen did before. He wants to use you to deal with me." Qian Yirong carefully protected Xu Baiqing, preventing her from falling due to big movements, and answered casually.
"Yeah," Xu Baiqing climbed onto Qian Yirong's shoulders and whispered in her ear, "You're ambitious but incompetent. You even secretly slipped a phone into my pocket, thinking they lost miserably because you were monitoring my phone."
"Do you want me to take action?" Qian Yirong hugged Xu Baiqing's fragrant body, feeling warm and soft in her arms. She had no intention of getting angry at Mu Zexuan and Qian Chengshu's plan.
"No need, leave it to me this time." Xu Baiqing was warmed by Qian Yirong's body temperature which was slightly higher than his own, and said excitedly while nestling in her arms.
"Okay, then I won't do anything." Qian Yirong was not worried when she saw that Xu Baiqing wanted to do it by herself. No matter what happened, she could help Xu Baiqing deal with the aftermath. What's more, Xu Baiqing was not an arrogant person. Since she wanted to play, she naturally had a certain confidence.
The tender affection between the two people also made some people who peeked into this corner have an inexplicable glint in their eyes. Although Qian Yirong's sexual orientation was unexpected, some people who wanted to find a shortcut did have female juniors of similar age in their families.
There will be no loss in letting them try. If they can successfully squeeze Xu Baiqing out and take the position, it would be even better. This is simply a business with no capital investment, so naturally some people will be tempted.
Xu Baiqing, who was already sensitive to people's gazes, noticed that there were four or five people around her looking at her with meaningful eyes. Her originally relaxed mood suddenly became a little bad. She couldn't help but pinch the culprit's waist. She knew who these people were targeting.
"Hiss." Qian Yirong gasped at the sudden attack, not knowing how she had offended the little ancestor in her arms. After thinking about it, she felt that she had done nothing wrong. She asked in a low voice with a bit of grievance, "Why did you pinch my waist?"
"Attracting bees and butterflies, huh." Xu Baiqing buried his head in her neck and said in a low voice.
"It's unfair. How did I attract so many people?" Qian Yirong then realized that Xu Baiqing was jealous. She was angry and amused at the same time, and felt very unfair. She would not accept the accusation of attracting so many people.
"I dare say that when you go out in the future, there will be a lot of girls throwing themselves at you." Xu Baiqing said aggrievedly.
"This is not something I can control, and you know that the person I like is you." Qian Yirong found Xu Baiqing's temper very interesting. The previous Xu Baiqing would not be like this. These were all cultivated by herself, which made Qian Yirong inexplicably feel a sense of accomplishment.
"Hmph, if I hear any romantic scandals about you, I'll show you how I'll deal with you." Xu Baiqing said dissatisfiedly.
"I promise that this will never happen." Qian Yirong promised with a chuckle.
When Xu Baiqing heard Qian Yirong say this, she felt very happy. Although she didn't know what would happen in the future, at least now Qian Yirong only had her in her eyes and heart. If Qian Yirong changed in the future, Xu Baiqing, you are sure that you will find a way to make Qian Yirong return to her current state.
Xu Baiqing, who was leaning on Qian Yirong's shoulder, had clear eyes that looked like a deep pool, with an inexplicable sense of danger, but Qian Yirong didn't notice it.
"Our goal has been achieved, can we leave now?" Xu Baiqing didn't want others to look at Qian Yirong with covetous eyes. Her purpose of coming here had been achieved, so she didn't want to stay here for long.
"No problem, Secretary Zhou can handle other things, let's go first." Qian Yirong agreed.
So the two of them came in front of the head of the Mu family. Qian Yirong said calmly that she had something to do and had to leave first, but she would let one of her assistants stay. If there was anything, she could tell her secretary first.
When the head of the Mu family learned that Qian Yirong was going to leave early, his face froze for a moment, but he did not show any other expression. Instead, he agreed in a nice voice. However, Mu Zexuan, who knew his father very well, could see that he was extremely angry.
After all, she left early before the meeting was over, which showed that she did not take the host, the head of the Mu family, seriously. But now Qian Yirong has become powerful, and the head of the Mu family cannot get angry with her, so he can only endure it.
Mu Zexuan was very worried when he saw Qian Yirong was going to take Xu Baiqing away first, but he could do nothing now. He could only watch the two of them leaving together and clenched his fists.
