The appearance of a big star is naturally very grand. The well-dressed male and female guests around him all stop their original social activities. Although they are still reserved and polite on the surface, their adoring gazes and trembling hands holding the wine glasses still betray them.
York beside him suddenly snorted and laughed. Mu Qingyan was a little confused, but he still pulled him to the corner in time.
It wasn't like she had a guilty conscience, after all, she had informed someone two days ago that she would go to the dinner, but his dance partner was not him.
The superstar’s angry look is still vivid in my mind, and tears are about to come out, but seeing that she has made up her mind, I reluctantly hold them back.
Now we can only hope that the other party is sensible enough and that we can have as little contact as possible tonight.
"What's wrong Yan? Where are you taking me?"
Mu Qingyan covered her lips and leaned forward, lowering her voice and admonishing her old friend:
"Remember that, you are my dance partner tonight, you must not be too far away from me-"
"Hey? Is that Sister Jinning's new friend?" A cheerful voice sounded from behind her. "I wonder if I'd have the honor of meeting her?"
The footsteps stopped.
As the head of the family, Dai Jinning naturally took over the topic, but before she could say anything, Shen Chuxuan, who came with her, spoke first:
"Jen, don't bother, we are all family..."
Shen Chuxuan was wearing an elegant long dress. The fabric seemed as light as mist, and the skirt was a graceful light blue hue. There seemed to be sporadic halos flowing with the changes in light, emitting a mysterious and charming glow.
She touched Dai Jinning's hand affectionately, then turned and nodded in the direction of Mu Qingyan:
"Qingyan, how are you doing recently?"
With Chen Chuxuan around, he was finally able to control Kinsley. Although there was a certain senior's unhappy eyes and other complicated and unclear observations in front of him, Mu Qingyan still went to meet her with confidence and gently hugged the girl:
"Chu Yan, long time no see."
"This sister looks so familiar, have we met somewhere before?"
"Ayin, this is President Mu. Previously at the company—"
"wrong."
Mu Qingyan listened to this firm rebuttal helplessly and almost gave up struggling.
"Oh, I remember now!"
Kinsley suddenly realized something, and then his eyes widened, reflecting the changing light and shadows of the dome, shining like stars.
"You are the sister that my second sister invited to the party at home a week ago, right?"
Mu Qingyan originally wanted to ignore the gaze that was fixed on her from the side in front of her, but the other person's outstretched hand was clearly sticking there, and she couldn't afford to lose face in front of so many people.
So he quickly put on his usual social attitude and nodded gently:
“Master Shen has a good memory. I am Mu Qingyan. Please give me your guidance.”
Holding hands together, the warmth from the other side touches the fingertips and palms.
Kinsley usually dresses in a very casual and flamboyant manner, but tonight he is wearing a well-cut haute couture suit and his hair has been styled, with every strand of his hair looking noble.
He was completely different from the one who collapsed outside Mu Qingyan's door the day before.
Add to that the rare curve at the corner of his mouth that seems to be a smile but not a smile.
He lacks the enthusiasm and brightness of a big star, but has a bit of the flavor of a young master from a wealthy family.
"Although we've only met a few times, Miss Mu should know my name, right? Why are you calling me so strangely?"
Mu Qingyan follows the good advice:
"Kinsley's name is naturally known to everyone."
But just as he was about to pull his hand back, the other pair of hands suddenly increased their strength.
"Miss Mu, you're too kind. If I were to be attacked by a bunch of little people, and there were so many blind people throwing mud at me, I'd be remiss if I didn't scatter their ashes!"
"Kinsley!"
"How can you talk like that—"
"Oh my god, I was just giving you an example!" The person named by the Dai family father and daughter glanced around exaggeratedly, "Why are you all so excited? Are you feeling guilty?"
"Shut up!" This was almost sarcasm. David Dai, who had just spoken rudely, finally lost his temper. "Kinsley, is this how you talk to your elders?"
"I--"
"A Yin..."
Shen Chuxuan slightly moved sideways to block his brother, and looked at David Dai with a humble yet firm and confident look.
"Uncle, A Yin has always been outspoken, as you know. He's also thinking about Miss Mu and me. After all, Miss Mu will soon become an employee of Shen Corporation. As the vice president, I can't let her suffer too much. Otherwise, who would be willing to work for me? What do you think?"
David's face turned red and white, and he was speechless for a long time.
In private, he is the elder and cannot argue openly with the younger ones. In public, Shen Chuxuan's status in the business world is no less than his, so it is not his turn to refute.
I thought that was the end of it, but Dai Jinning seemed a little dissatisfied because his father was treated rudely:
"Kinsley, Chu Xin, aren't you guys making a big deal out of nothing? Father didn't mean that. There's a saying that goes, 'A distant relative shouldn't separate close relatives.' I think you really don't need to embarrass him in this situation because of Miss Mu. And—"
Her eyes swept over York,
"I'm naturally not interested in the recent news about Miss Mu, but her friend was not only rude to Wan Ning, but also made arbitrary judgments about my father and my boss, Mr. Dustin. With all due respect, I really can't help but question certain aspects of their character. Chu Xin, Dustin has always emphasized to Infinity employees that as a boss, you need to have enough ability to convince your subordinates to trust you, rather than relying on these insignificant favors. I think you—"
"I admire Dustin's contributions and position, Jen, but I'm afraid I disagree with his character. Of course, he's your boss, so I shouldn't say anything. As for me—"
Facing Dai Jinning's cold gaze, Shen Chuxuan still smiled gently.
"Perhaps when you become the vice president of the Infinity branch one day, you will understand what I just said better."
“…”
"Well, Uncle, Jen, please go and entertain the other guests first. Excuse me, I need to talk to Qingyan alone for a few minutes."
…
Everyone has a desire to admire the strong, let alone someone like Dustin who is at the top of the industry at a young age. So Mu Qingyan understands Dai Jinning very well. After all, the girl has just graduated from school and her first boss is of this level. It is hard not to admire him.
What she didn't expect was that after she had worked so hard and fought alone for so long, there was still someone who trusted and protected her so much after only meeting her a few times.
Her heart was pounding, and she suddenly didn't know how to express her gratitude to Shen Chuxuan.
"Miss...Shen, looks so familiar? Yan!"
His friend suddenly gave him a look, and Mu Qingyan finally took the opportunity to adjust his state, took Shen Chuxuan's hand and introduced him.
Halfway through the introduction, the big star said sarcastically:
"What do you mean by familiar or not? You're such a shrewd person! My sister doesn't even know you!"
"A Yin! ... I'm sorry, Mr. York, please don't mind. Actually... Qingyan, I also feel strange, as if I have really seen your friend somewhere..."
"Since it's such a coincidence, then, beautiful lady, could you please dance with me?"
Kinsley was speechless now. The idea of valuing beauty over his sister took over, and he pushed the two light bulbs onto the dance floor very decisively.
Finally, there were only the two of them in this corner.
Mu Qingyan didn't say anything, but casually observed York's dancing skills. She was somewhat surprised to find that he did have the bonus gene of throwing parties every day in the United States. He and the real lady cooperated very well.
As for the person next to me...
"Miss Mu——"
——Okay, okay, it’s not over yet, right?
"The dance partner that Miss Mu chose is not very qualified. It's totally wrong to leave a beauty like you here like this!"
Mu Qingyan closed his eyes and said:
"Yes, thank you for reminding me. Next time I will definitely—"
"You'll have a next time!?"
Although there was a height difference and people were looking down at him, Mu Qingyan didn't feel any sense of oppression at all. It was more like a big dog that was finally aggrieved and needed comfort.
——You can’t pretend anymore?
She had no choice but to take the opportunity to pass the other person the wine glass and try to get closer to give him some advice.
Almost at the same time as she approached, Kinsley's expression suddenly changed, and he hissed in pain.
Then, the body suddenly fell down.
"Kinsley!"
Mu Qingyan didn't care about anything else and immediately supported his shoulders.
The impact was so great that the two of them were barely able to stabilize themselves until her back hit the wall.
"Kinsley? What's wrong, huh? Not feeling well?"
——Could it be like that day again...
Her lower back was supported, and although it bore most of the man's weight, it didn't feel very strenuous.
She could feel the ends of her hair being stroked inch by inch, and her forehead being gently rubbed by the other person's chin.
"Yanyan, don't move. My legs hurt. I need to take it easy..."
"Okay, okay, I won't move... Why are you coming here to bother? Didn't I say I have something to investigate?"
"That's why I'm worried... You haven't dressed so nicely in front of me... Anyway, Yanyan, don't blame me..."
The warm breath sprayed against her ears, as if it was holding her back so that she could no longer lecture him.
Seeing that more and more people were looking at him, Mu Qingyan raised his hand and called a robot waiter.
In the middle of the dance floor, today's host happened to be giving an opening speech, so not many people noticed them.
"Everyone! My daughter has lived up to our family's expectations and successfully joined Infinity. She can be considered as following in her father's footsteps, but I know that she will definitely go higher and further than her father. If my daughter is inconsiderate in any way from now on, I hope you uncles and elders will bear with me! Cheers everyone!"
The whole place went dark, with only a beam of light in the center of the dance floor shining on Dai Jinning.
Mu Qingyan and the robot helped Kinsley move to the seat next to him.
Suddenly, the robot seemed to have received some instructions, and its optical mirror suddenly lit up.
