Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Engagement
At Xu Lingbai's engagement party, Mo Lai was dressed up, wearing a custom-made suit and the million-dollar suit that Aunt Mo gave her.
Tang Wangyue was speechless for a long moment. "Sister, you exude wealth and nobility today."
She is really rich. Usually, Molai likes to wear work clothes because they can hold things. As an assistant director, she has everything on her. When the director needs something, she can take it out immediately.
Therefore, the director was more diligent in looking for her than for an assistant. After working with Sun Ran once, he let her take charge of Group B independently the second time.
Mo Lai has relied on himself to get to where he is today, but today he has resumed dressing like a rich second-generation. Tang Wangyue is really not used to it.
"How is it? Does it look good?"
Obviously, Molai was very nervous, afraid that he was not better than others.
Tang Wangyue helped her adjust her collar and said, "Don't worry, it's super A."
"real?"
"Um."
In fact, Molai is not bad looking, just a little unkempt. When he dresses up, whether his hair is loose in a wolf tail or tied up in a short ponytail, he looks good no matter how. He has handsome facial features and is the type with a more heroic look.
Tang Wangyue didn't lie, "It's okay."
Molai still felt uncomfortable. Although she came here today with a high spirit, as if she was going to challenge someone to a fight, she was actually feeling very uncomfortable and nervous.
She was afraid that she really wouldn't be able to resist and snatch the bride away.
Tang Wangyue had a chat with Mo Lai yesterday. She didn’t tell her own guess, but just said that she could try to believe Xu Lingbai.
"Believe? Believe that she will be fine?"
Molai didn't understand why he could live a good life with someone he didn't love.
Tang Wangyue was silent. She didn't know how to explain. After all, her guess might not be correct. If it was wrong, wouldn't it make Mo Laibai have unusual expectations?
She could only pat Molai's shoulder comfortingly. There was no other way. Any words would be meaningless at this moment.
Xu Lingbai's engagement party was attended by partners and relatives of the Xu and Zhang families, and there were quite a lot of people.
Why is Mo Yun here too? The Mo and Xu families have a close relationship, so it's normal to invite the Mo family. Tang Wangyue came as Xu Lingbai's friend.
Seeing them, Mo Yun immediately walked over and grabbed Tang Wangyue's hand with a smile, "Your mother said you've set a date for your wedding?"
"Well, I was thinking of going to your house in a couple of days to tell you the news."
Tang Wangyue smiled embarrassedly. She had been on the crew for more than half a year and hadn't been to her godmother's house for a long time.
"Okay, okay." Mo Yun clapped her hands in satisfaction. "That's great! Our Xiaoyue'er is getting married too. How about you come to my godmother's company? You're much smarter than your sister Mo Lai, so the company is perfect for you."
This was not the first time Mo Yun said that she wanted to hand over the company to Tang Wangyue.
She only has one daughter, Molai. Although Tang Wangyue is not her biological daughter, she is better than her biological daughter, so it is okay to hand over the company to her.
But these two children, one wants to be a director and the other wants to be a screenwriter, neither of them wants to inherit the company.
Tang Wangyue laughed dryly, "I think Sister Molai is smarter and she's more suitable."
Mo Lai: "? Tang Wangyue, go away."
"Why? Do you have the heart to let our mother's hard work go uninherited?"
"What do you mean? I think our mother will live to be a hundred. Fifty is the right age to make a living. What's the point of retiring or not? She can still work for another fifty years."
Mo Yun: "...You two, get out."
"Okay."
The two of them immediately left obediently. If they continued talking, their godmother would beat them up.
Tang Wangyue looked at Mo Lai's absent-minded look and said, "Go find a place to rest."
"What about you?"
"One of us has to be here. Godmother might call us later."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Mo Lai really was not in the mood to socialize with others. So many people would definitely come to her because she was the young master of the Mo family. Since Tang Wangyue was there, she could just let it go without any worries.
Molai walked around the villa for a while. Seeing that there was no one on the balcony, he wanted to sit there, but he heard someone talking.
"Xu Chengfeng, just tell me whether you will help me or not. As long as you do it, my car will be yours."
"Zhang Mu, what are you thinking? If I dare to drug Xu Lingbai, even my parents can't save me. She will definitely kill me."
"What about Linlin? You don't want it either."
"You said you would give Linlin to me?"
"Don't think about it?"
"want."
Hearing this, Mo Lai forced herself to control herself, turned off the recording and left silently. She wanted to know where Xu Lingbai was.
After asking around, Mo Lai finally found Xu Lingbai. She was surprised to find him in a meeting. Was he supposed to be working on a day like today? Unless this engagement party wasn't that important.
Thinking of this, Molai's mood actually improved a little. It was really funny. She was just a love-brained person, and it was a serious one.
In Xu Lingbai's room, she was having a meeting. When she saw Molai coming over, she just signaled Molai not to speak and continued with the meeting.
The more she listened, the more Mo Lai felt that what Xu Lingbai said was confidential, and it would be inconvenient for her to hear it here.
Just as Mo Lai was about to leave, Xu Lingbai hung up the conference call, "What's up?"
"have."
Mo Lai turned on the recording and listened to its contents. Anger welled up in her heart. "Is this the person you chose?"
Xu Lingbai remained calm. She touched up her makeup in the mirror and asked, "So?"
"You're not angry? Even so, you still want to get engaged to him?"
Molai couldn't believe that Xu Lingbai's attitude was so calm and he didn't mind at all that Zhang Mu was this kind of person.
Does he not care, or does he think that no matter what kind of person Zhang Mu is, the engagement is confirmed?
Mo Lai suppressed the anger in his chest and said, "Xu Lingbai, is your happiness so unimportant?"
"That's my business, too."
There was no change in Xu Lingbai's expression, as if Molai was an outsider who was making up stories. She had no emotions about the matter and didn't care at all. It didn't matter what kind of person Zhang Mu was. What she cared about was what the Zhang family could give her.
Molai nodded, with nothing to say. They had already talked about everything they could talk about. Since Xu Lingbai had made up his mind, what could she do?
Molai simply left the room, but she still did not leave the engagement party. Perhaps this would be the last time they met, so let her witness Xu Lingbai's willing choice.
After Mo Lai left, Xu Lingbai glanced at the camera above. The Xu family was on guard against her as if she were a wolf, fearing that she would accidentally take away Xu Chengfeng's company. But would temporary surveillance be useful?
She had plenty of opportunities and time to escape from the Xu family's control.
It will be soon. Give her three more months and it will be over.
However, since this happened and the people who were monitoring her heard it and knew that the matter was exposed, she could not remain silent.
Zhang Mu and Xu Chengfeng, two losers, dared to plot against her.
Xu Lingbai stood up and prepared to find something to do.
On the other side, Mo Lai found Tang Wangyue who was drinking juice. When they attended such banquets, they usually just ate and drank. Socializing had nothing to do with them. They would only go when Ms. Mo called them.
"Something happened?" Tang Wangyue frowned.
Although Molai was in a bad mood, his expression was fine. But after he left for a while, his expression became so gloomy that it seemed as if it was about to burst.
Molai nodded and said, "I'll tell you when I get back."
"good."
Molai didn't understand why Xu Lingbai still wanted to continue this marriage even after all this happened.
However, since it is a marriage, it probably won't be terminated because of something that hasn't happened, but this thing must never happen.
This is what the Xu family meant. Since it didn't happen, they took the opportunity to ask the Zhang family for some benefits, and the matter would be over.
Xu Lingbai knew exactly this reason, so he said nothing to Molai. They would only protect their beloved son or ask for benefits.
In this case, let's maximize the benefits of this matter.
"I agree you want some benefits, but your precious son is involved in this. Don't you have anything to say? What if we go to the Zhang family to ask for an explanation and they hold on to this?"
Father Xu pondered for a moment and then said, "The large flat in the city center will be considered as compensation for this matter."
The large flat is worth more than 80 million yuan, which is the most expensive real estate owned by the Xu family except for the villa they live in now. It is really a huge investment. By giving this large flat to her, Xu Lingbai thought that her old father would probably get something worth more than 100 million yuan from the Zhang family.
In fact, when she was a child, she wondered why her grandparents looked at her as if her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose. Her mother went out to play mahjong, go shopping, and get beauty treatments. She had no time to attend her parent-teacher meetings, let alone raise her children. Her father was nowhere to be seen. The longest time she hadn't seen him was more than a year.
When Xu Lingbai grew up, she realized that because she was a girl, her grandparents disliked her and even became annoyed when they saw her. Her mother might have had sympathy for her at first, but later, in order to please her grandparents and her father, she became annoyed when she saw her.
She thought they didn't like children, but later she found out that they just didn't like her being a girl. After Xu Chengfeng was born, they protected her like the apple of their eye.
Xu Chengfeng went to private aristocratic schools all the time when she was a child, while she went to public schools. However, her schools were good, and she went to good schools all the time.
The Xu family has assets worth tens of billions of yuan, and her expenses from childhood to adulthood were basically covered by scholarships. Later, when she was admitted to one of the top three universities in the country, her family began to pay attention to her and wanted to train her to become a powerful tool in Xu Chengfeng's hands to help him manage the company. Since then, they have become generous to her.
In general, it was only after she demonstrated her value that she was trained by the Xu family.
It's funny to say that she is not as good as the president's office in the company in terms of resources. She has come to where she is today by fighting her way out on her own.
Everyone has a common understanding of her. Even if she is not in the Xu family, she can still reach her current position and still create extremely high value. She stays in the company entirely because of family ties. If she leaves one day, it will definitely be heartbreaking.
This is exactly the effect Xu Lingbai wanted. These public opinions are of little use, but they can help her do many things.
However, she had been planning for so long, but she had ignored Molai's feelings.
Molai approached her with a sincere and passionate heart. She could have refused and disguised herself as a straight woman, but she failed to control herself and let the situation develop into what it is now.
Morel...
Xu Lingbai closed his eyes, agreed to the Xu family's request, and the engagement party continued.
Half an hour later, Xu Lingbai came out in a long dress, holding the arm of that disgusting Zhang Mu. This scene hurt Molai's eyes.
The next second, everything went dark before her eyes. It turned out that Tang Wangyue had covered her eyes.
Molai rolled his eyes in a mixture of anger and amusement, "Be careful if your celebrity sees me, or he'll beat me to death."
