Chapter 91 "Stylish, muscular..."
On the second floor of the private exhibition hall, the private chefs were serving dishes one after another.
In the past, when people came to such a stylish place, they would have gone to the trouble of hiring a top-notch private chef.
Everyone was eagerly anticipating trying the dishes.
But today, with a bottle of Les Oviedo Knight placed in the middle of the table, everyone's attention was focused on that bottle of wine.
"As expected of Yuebao's vintage wine, I haven't tasted such a fragrant and mellow wine in many years."
"Bullshit, you hang out at Brother Mu Yang's bar every day. You say you've never drunk good wine? Aren't you afraid your Sister Mu Qiao will be unhappy?"
Mu Qiao was holding a wine glass, smelling the fermented aroma with a citrus scent. Upon hearing this, he took a sip and replied with a satisfied expression.
"Bai Yue is not wrong. Not to mention him, even I haven't had any good wine in a long time."
"You don't understand bars? They're entertainment venues, not places for you to sample drinks."
"Besides, my brother's wine collection is kept even more tightly sealed than Yuebao's, so I definitely won't get to drink it."
"Yuebao, I heard you only recently had Li Cong bring the wine over. You've been back in China for so long, this isn't your first time drinking it, is it?"
"I bet you haven't wanted to touch alcohol for a long time since you were robbed."
Several months have passed, and Mu Qiao still dares to joke about Lin Chaoyue being deceived.
He winked at her.
Lin Chaoyue swirled her wine glass and casually placed it on the table: "No, that's not it. I had a candlelight dinner with my boyfriend a few days ago and opened a bottle too."
"Yo yo yo".
Lin Chaoyue smiled amidst the cheers and continued speaking.
"Moreover, the New York police did not classify it as robbery, but rather as fraud."
"And also..."
"Guess."
"Hurry up and tell me, stop beating around the bush." Mu Qiao was an impatient person, and seeing Lin Chaoyue speaking slowly made him extremely anxious.
Lin Chaoyue patted her purse and shrugged: "Also, a few days ago, my boyfriend helped me get some of the money back."
"I'm happy to tell you all that I'm no longer broke! You don't need to worry about me asking you for money!"
"Oh my god, really? Come on! Cheers! Today is definitely worth celebrating."
"Cheers!"
Mu Qiao: "You've been back in China for so long now, and you've gotten the money back. Your aunt and uncle must have calmed down by now."
“When you bring two more bottles of wine, let’s go to Tangwan for a get-together. I’ve been craving your chef’s eight-treasure rice for ages.”
"And that swing in your greenhouse, I'll go take some photos there, so I can date my younger brothers."
Everyone teased Mu Qiao: "Can't you think about something else all day? It's always about handsome guys or younger brothers."
"Even though your brother is very strict with you, he still can't control you."
Mu Qiao didn't care about anything else and grabbed Lin Chaoyue's arm, pleading, "Give me an answer, is it okay or not?"
Speaking of Tangwan.
Lin Chaoyue couldn't remember how long it had been since she had gone back.
Lin Chaoyue helplessly spread her hands: "It's not that I don't want to agree, but Xu Zhu has taken the key to Tangwan and hasn't given it to me yet, so I can't even go back myself."
"How about you pick another place, one that doesn't require climbing over the wall? It's on me."
Muccio's focus is on the glass greenhouse and the swing.
"Fine, fine, we can have another drink, I want to drink this one too."
"The wine is fine. How about we try something else next time? I'm going to give the remaining two bottles of Lehua Ovina Knight to Tang Ruxue."
Mu Qiao: "Tang Ruxue? Why are you giving her that?"
Lin Chaoyue: "I asked her something, and now I owe her a favor."
Mu Qiao muttered under her breath, "What favor do you owe her? You even gave her this wine. Does she even understand what you're drinking? You two have been at odds for so many years. Could you have made up?"
"Hey, look! Tang Ruxue, they're about to fight!"
Mu Qiao: "Yeah! You two used to like that person together, it's a miracle you didn't end up fighting..."
"No, no! I meant downstairs! Look!"
A crowd had gathered in front of the giant painting on the first floor, but no one was actually looking at the painting; they were just watching the spectacle.
Li Wei's girlfriend: "Sorry, I'll go downstairs and take a look."
"Then let's go down together."
Li Wei's girlfriend is the owner of this private exhibition hall. Although there is an organizer for this art exhibition, she still has to go down and check on things after this situation occurred.
A large group of people went downstairs.
When they arrived, Tang Ruxue was standing with her hands on her hips, cursing. The man standing next to her was turning red and white in turns, while the other woman looked smug.
Mu Qiao stood next to Lin Chaoyue and explained things to her.
"The woman should be the female companion I mentioned earlier. She's known in the industry for being good at making money, and she used to date Cheng Du."
"When they broke up later, I don't know what they got out of Cheng Du that allowed them to get so much breakup money."
Mu Qiao counted out a number.
Lin Chaoyue raised an eyebrow: "So many?"
"Yes, but they weren't satisfied and hooked up with a new one."
"That man is the second son of the Mo family, Mo Xu'an."
"Recently, Tang Ruxue has been causing him a lot of trouble because of this woman."
Lin Chaoyue: "I know him. I've met him a few times before. He's a very promiscuous person in private. He's also involved in the BDSM community. Does Tang Ruxue like this kind of person? Her tastes have changed."
"Who knows? I don't understand either."
"But you're still criticizing him. Haven't your tastes changed too? You used to like sunny, warm men, but now you like these cold, aloof career elites."
"I'm just curious and want to gossip a bit."
"Is it worth talking to someone like Pei Shuwen?"
Lin Chaoyue doesn't really like to talk about her love life in front of others.
But saying Pei Shuwen is boring.
She found it hard not to refute.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Chaoyue pulled Mu Qiao to her side, leaned close to her ear, and whispered a few words.
"Really?" Mu Qiao's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"Hmm." Lin Chaoyue felt her ears getting a little hot.
Ignoring the group of socialites around them, Mu Qiao said with envy, "I also want to date someone like that..."
"Hmm..."
Although Mu Qiao didn't finish speaking.
But Lin Chaoyue always felt that she was about to say something shocking.
Manually mute the microphone.
Shh... Look over there, it looks like a fight is about to break out.
While the two were talking, their argument gradually escalated into a fight.
Tang Ruxue was initially in the lead, holding onto the wrist of Mo's second son's female companion.
But due to Mo Xu'an's deliberate favoritism, Tang Ruxue quickly became the one whose hair was pulled.
She grimaced in pain, but the man beside her remained unmoved.
They even felt ashamed of her.
"Damn it! What kind of skill is it to help a gold digger bully your own girlfriend? Should we... Yueyue, hey, Yueyue, why did you get involved?"
Lin Chaoyue squeezed through the crowd.
Some people around were just watching the show, while others were anxiously waiting, but no one tried to break up the fight.
Those who are here today are basically prominent figures in Ningcheng.
Nobody wants to get their fancy clothes dirty because of someone else.
The organizers knew who Mo Xu'an was, and after being rebuffed a couple of times while trying to mediate, they didn't dare to say anything more.
So much so that later on...
When Tang Ruxue was 'rescued,' she thought it was her scumbag boyfriend, with whom she hadn't broken up, who had a change of heart and still had feelings for her.
After realizing that the person pulling him was Lin Chaoyue.
She broke down and cried on the spot.
Lin Chaoyue hallucinated that she had just returned to China and went to the airport to see Pei Shuwen off on a business trip, where she met Tang Ruxue.
The two of them just had a little argument.
She's the same way, crying on a whim regardless of the situation.
Tang Ruxue sobbed uncontrollably, unable to utter a single complete sentence.
Lin Chaoyue was speechless: "Alright, get up. Aren't you ashamed to cry over such a scumbag?"
"I...I...I can't get up!"
Mo Xu'an, with a cold face, was about to tell her to mind her own business and get as far away as possible.
Looking up, he saw Lin Chaoyue.
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.
Mo Xu'an remained silent, Tang Ruxue cried intensely, and the exhibition hall was quite empty.
The exhibition, which was supposed to be elegant, suddenly resembled a bustling market.
Although the organizers on the side didn't recognize Lin Chaoyue, their anxious expressions made it seem like they were about to kneel down and beg her.
Lin Chaoyue felt that, in a certain sense...
Her relationship with Tang Ruxue was a complicated and inescapable entanglement.
She had helped him before, and now she was so pitiful.
She decided to unilaterally reconcile with Tang Ruxue over those trivial matters from the past.
Lin Chaoyue squatted down, pulled Tang Ruxue's face away from her eyes, stared at her red and swollen eyes, and comforted her: "It's alright, don't cry, it's not worth it."
"You, you're interfering with me! I have a mouth, I'm on my own body, and I'm going to cry!"
They really don't know what's good for them.
Lin Chaoyue simply crossed her arms and threw out the trump card.
"But if your makeup is ruined and you cry for a while longer, you won't be as pretty as your little rival."
"Am I...am I as pretty as her now?"
Lin Chaoyue carefully examined Tang Ruxue: "Yes, she's very beautiful. Mo Xu'an must be blind to choose her over you."
Tang Ruxue stopped crying instantly.
Then he patted his bottom and stood up.
First, she glared at Mo Xu'an with hatred.
Choking back tears, she said, "Let's break up!"
Turning her head, she didn't forget to reach out to Lin Chaoyue: "Classmate, let's make up."
I almost forgot that they were deskmates for two years in elementary school.
Holding Tang Ruxue's delicate hand, Lin Chaoyue pulled her out of the crowd: "Let's go upstairs and have a drink together."
"I'm going to the restroom first to touch up my makeup. You come with me."
"OK."
A large group of people gathered to watch the spectacle, and once the 'main characters' had left, they dispersed in large groups.
Lin Chaoyue accompanied Tang Ruxue to touch up her makeup, and Mu Qiao went along as well.
The two stood outside the restroom door, and Mu Qiao teased Lin Chaoyue.
"You two had such a deep falling out before, I didn't expect you to be so doting on me."
"You mean the incident we were in? We both liked the same guy back when we were deskmates. She and I had a huge fight because I went to the bathroom with someone else instead of her, and we never spoke again?"
Mu Qiao smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners: "If you ask me, maybe they hate that the bright moon hangs high above them and doesn't shine on me alone."
"Where did you learn that from, your younger brother? That doesn't sound like something you would say."
"I recently started dating a literary and artistic guy."
"Stylish, muscular, capable, you know what I mean!"
Lin Chaoyue didn't understand, and she rolled her eyes at Mu Qiao.
He recalled what he had just said to Mu Qiao.
She turned her head away, somewhat embarrassed.
He didn't look away for a long time.
What are you looking at?
Lin Chaoyue wiped her eyelashes with her fingertip, then looked uncertainly toward the end of the corridor.
"I've been staying up too late lately, and my eyes are getting blurry."
"Who did you mistake it for?"
"Maybe I'm not mistaken, Ningcheng is only this big."
Lin Chaoyue turned on her phone screen. She had sent a message that morning, and Pei Shuwen had only replied half an hour ago.
He only said he was 'busy'.
She pursed her lips, but still sent a message: "What are you busy with?"
But no reply was received.
Even when Pei Shuwen is busy, he still pays attention to her. After all, he can even put aside his work and drive back from Yushi in the pouring rain to see her.
Lin Chaoyue cracked her knuckles, a thought suddenly occurring to her: "You wait here for her, I'll go check on her."

Author's Note: Mu Qiao shouted, "I also want to talk about this kind of big %#@#..."
Yuebao covered her mouth in a flash: "This! Is! Outside! Not! A! No! Person! In!"
