Chapter 335 Reencounter with Zhang Wanru at the Banquet
Banquet Hall
The banquet hadn't started yet, but many handsome men and beautiful women were already walking inside.
Song Chi and her mother-in-law entered the banquet.
The banquet scene was decorated in a lavish and opulent manner, giving the impression of a wealthy household.
Song Chi was momentarily captivated, but soon her gaze fell upon the delicious food laid out on the long table!
What attracts Song Chi more than luxury goods is food!
Song Chi stared wide-eyed, and couldn't help but swallow hard, his mouth watering.
"Mom, I'm hungry, I'm going to get something to eat!"
Cheng Shu spotted a familiar face in the distance and smiled upon hearing this.
"Daughter-in-law, please help yourself to the food here. I saw someone I know, so I'll go say hello!"
"Mom, I've got some food, I'll wait for you at that seat over there!"
Song Chi pointed to an empty seat.
"Okay, don't wander off, wait for me..."
Cheng Shu was worried that she might bump into something, so she gave her careful instructions.
Song Chi smiled sweetly: "Okay, Mom!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made an agreement and then went their separate ways.
Song Chi brought over a plate and went to the long table.
Looking at the delicious food, she couldn't help but take some more and put it on her plate, instantly feeling happy.
For a foodie, nothing is more important than delicious food!
"laugh!"
Suddenly, a sneer came from not far away.
Upon hearing this, Song Chi instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
He glanced at a woman who was fairly pretty, his face full of disdain and contempt.
That look in his eyes was full of disdain.
Song Chi: "..."
She hadn't even had a chance to speak.
The woman clicked her tongue and said, "Tsk, this is a banquet hosted by the Mu Group, how could they invite such a country bumpkin? It's really lowering the class!"
She stared at Song Chi, speaking with a look of disdain.
Song Chi: "..."
She was so angry she laughed.
We're all human, what makes you think you're superior?
Although she was feeling down, she didn't want to bother with people who weren't involved.
Although she didn't want to pay attention to such a snobbish person, she also didn't want her to gain arrogance!
Song Chi deliberately pinched his nose: "Tsk, isn't this a banquet hosted by the Mu Group? Why does it smell like dog poop? It really lowers the Mu Group's standards!"
Woman: "Who are you calling a dog?"
Song Chi: "Whoever fits into this description is the one!"
"you……"
Song Chi made her so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged.
Seeing that she was angry, she felt she had gotten away with it and felt a little satisfied!
She didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she took the food, turned around, and left.
Just as the woman was about to chase after her, another girl in red walked towards her.
"Xiao Zhang, let's sit over there and chat while we eat!"
Xiao Zhang looked at the person who had come in and suddenly became very polite.
"Okay, Xiaolin."
The two found a place to sit, and coincidentally, it was not far from where Song Chi was sitting.
When Xiao Zhang saw Song Chi again, he was very unhappy, still holding a grudge from earlier!
Xiaolin said, "Xiao Zhang, I was just playing on my phone and saw some melon seeds. Do you want some?"
Xiao Zhang immediately perked up: "What melon? Tell me quickly!"
Their voices were quite loud, and they all reached Song Chi's ears.
Upon hearing this, Song Chi paused in her eating, but she continued to enjoy her meal without a care.
She was eating a pastry, sweet but not cloying, and the moment she tasted it, her mood improved a thousandfold.
"Xiao Zhang, everyone online is saying that tonight's banquet is something the president of the Mu Group has been preparing for a long time, to solemnly announce the good news of his marriage to his girlfriend!"
"Is Mr. Mu getting married? Who's the bride?"
Xiao Zhang looked on with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
"I don't know, but some netizens have revealed that his girlfriend gained status through having a child. Tsk, what a clever tactic!"
"Of course! Marrying President Mu means you'll never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of your life. It's truly enviable!"
However, if we can get on Mrs. Mu's good side, maybe we can even gain some respect from her..."
Haha~
The two girls laughed jokingly.
Song Chi: "..."
She didn't mean to eavesdrop; it's just that their conversation was so open and unreserved that it reached her ears.
Listening to them say that the other party's status was due to her son.
She subconsciously glanced at her bulging belly, and then thought back to her earlier suspicion that the older man was President Mu…
She recalled her mother-in-law saying that she was the star of the banquet tonight, and she suddenly had a premonition. Her heart pounded wildly, and her eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
Song Chi rubbed his temples, silently admonishing himself.
'Song Chi, you idiot, that uncle can't possibly be President Mu. This kind of plot is straight out of a TV drama, and it's impossible for it to happen to you... Stop overthinking...'
However, despite her self-admonitions, she remained restless.
Suddenly, Xiaolin screamed.
"Xiao Zhang, look online, there's big news again."
"What news?"
The two huddled together to look at their phones.
Song Chi's attention was drawn to them, and he also took out his phone. Coincidentally, the system pushed out a breaking news item.
Breaking news! Mr. Mu will announce exciting news tonight!
Song Chi clicked on the article, and the marketing account said that President Mu would announce the good news in a high-profile manner at the banquet tonight, while the identity of the woman remained a mystery.
The comments section was filled with replies from netizens.
"Congratulations, Mr. Mu... I'm very curious, who is so lucky to marry such a golden bachelor!"
"Upstairs, is there even a question? It's definitely the Zhang family's daughter. It's said that she gained status because of her son!"
"Congratulations Mr. Mu and Ms. Zhang! May you have a long and happy marriage..."
Song Chi: "..."
She was like a bystander watching the drama unfold, observing the countless comments online without feeling much emotion.
She murmured to herself, "So, it really is Zhang Wanru... Then President Mu definitely can't be an older man..."
She suddenly felt much more relaxed. She put away her phone and continued eating the food on her plate.
Suddenly, exclamations erupted from the banquet.
Someone called out, "Isn't that Miss Zhang Wanru?"
"The Zhang family went bankrupt, accumulating massive debts overnight. Who would have thought that the Zhang family's daughter would hook up with President Mu? They won't need to raise funds anymore..."
"Miss Wanru, no wonder President Mu is so captivated by you. You are absolutely stunning, with an unparalleled elegance..."
Everyone gathered around and showered her with compliments!
Zhang Wanru, holding her mother's wrist, attended the event in full regalia.
Zhang Wanru listened to everyone's praise, her lips curling up in a smile, a look of pure enjoyment on her face.
"Everyone, stop joking around. Brother Mu Yin hasn't arrived yet. Please make yourselves at home!"
She had the air of a mistress of the house, but unfortunately, she lacked the presence; her posture was awkward and she looked like a petty person who had gotten her way.
People still surrounded her and fawned over her.
Zhang Wanru was very happy. Her gaze swept across the crowd and she spotted Song Chi in the corner.
Song Chi also saw her over there.
Their eyes met, and instantly, sparks flew.
Zhang Wanru snorted coldly at Song Chi.
Song Chi sneered, rolled her eyes, turned her face away, and ignored her.
Zhang Wanru curled her lips, looking like a victor.
She straightened her skirt. This dress was one she had snatched from Song Chi. She was sure Brother Mu Yin would like it...
She had a confident expression on her face.
Zhang's mother whispered in her ear.
"Wanru, don't forget what your brother said. Keep a low profile for now. Wait until Mu Yin arrives before you make your move!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanru took a deep breath and suppressed her excitement.
"Mom, I know. I'm hungry. I'm going to go find something to eat."
"Go ahead, but don't cause trouble."
"knew."
The mother and daughter separated.
Zhang Wanru held the plate, picked up some food, and glanced at Song Chi in the corner, her eyes flashing slightly.
She walked straight towards Song Chi.
On the other side, Cheng Shu finished chatting with her acquaintance and turned around to see Zhang Wanru walking towards Song Chi.
She looked wary: "Zhang Wanru? I didn't invite her, why is she here? Oh no, could she be here to hurt my daughter-in-law?!"
Her heart tightened, and she was about to protect Song Chi.
Suddenly, Zhang's mother blocked her way, and as if by accident, spilled a glass of red wine directly onto her cheongsam.
"Ah, what are you doing? Are you crazy... ah..."
Before Cheng Shu could finish speaking, she screamed in surprise again...
