She was wearing high heels tonight, and had to walk carefully. She couldn't withstand the girl's fierce collision and immediately fell onto her back, looking extremely disheveled.
"Pfft..." Jiang Nuan couldn't help but laugh.
Where did this little girl come from?
She was simply too adorable.
The little girl looked about sixteen or seventeen. She stood with her hands on her hips, looking angrily at Yan Xi, who had been knocked down by her: "Who are you? How can you walk without looking? Didn't you see me running?"
The little girl seemed very arrogant, pouting her red lips, her eyes fierce.
Yan Xi shot a fierce glance at Jiang Nuan, who was watching her with a smile, and then glared fiercely at the little girl.
"You bumped into me." When did a brat who hadn't even grown all her fur dare to bully her?
"Hmph! So what if I bumped into you? You were slowly approaching Ninth Master from behind him. What exactly are you trying to do? I saw you scattering something just now. You must have bad intentions." The little girl eyed Yan Xi vigilantly.
A flicker of panic crossed Yan Xi's pupils. How did this brat see through her?
Jiang Nuan was too engrossed in watching the show and had overlooked this little girl who had suddenly run over.
She wondered if she had smelled the fishy scent earlier?
If she smelled it, she would be affected!
"Ninth Master, do you still remember me? I am Gu Yuexin, the youngest daughter of the Gu family. I have always admired Ninth Master. I heard from my father that Ninth Master was also here, and I just wanted to come over and say hello. I hope I didn't disturb your meal."
Mu Jiu Chen looked at the beautiful little girl in front of him.
He nodded slightly and smiled, "I remember. It's been a year, and you've grown into a young lady."
"Sigh! My height is just like this. You've seen my dad. The old man isn't very tall, and my height followed him. I'm already grateful to him for growing to 1.6 meters." The little girl's words were innocent, her smile pure. She truly admired Mu Jiu Chen.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at her indifferently, "1.6 meters isn't bad either."
"Right, Ninth Master. I will definitely work hard to become someone like you. Thank you for talking to me." The little girl's eyes were full of admiration. Just as she was about to skip away, she felt something was wrong all over her body.
"Ah... why is it so hot?"
Jiang Nuan's gaze flickered. She watched Yan Xi, who had gotten up in a sorry state. Tsk, tsk, she really hadn't expected this accident.
She and Mu Jiu Chen had taken the antidote, so they didn't feel much.
Yan Xi looked nervously at Gu Yuexin. Where did this damn girl run from?
"So hot, I'm so hot." Gu Yuexin felt the heat spreading from her bones.
"Xin Xin, what's wrong? Didn't I tell you to stay in your room? Why did you come here?" Gu Li's displeased voice came from afar.
"Dad, I'm so hot and uncomfortable. This woman was scattering something towards this side, so I ran over to check, but now I feel very unwell."
Gu Yuexin had followed her father since she was young and had seen a lot. With her keen mind and observation, she felt that the woman who had walked over from here earlier was a little suspicious.
Yan Xi looked at Gu Li, slightly frowning. Her being able to enter here was naturally with Gu Li's permission.
Who knew this brat would appear at such a critical moment and ruin her good deed.
Jiang Nuan saw Gu Li's expressionless face and was deep in thought.
"Little Jiu, Nuan Nuan, did we disturb you?" After everyone got acquainted, Gu Li also started addressing them more familiarly.
Jiang Nuan shook her head slightly and said, "Chairman, you didn't disturb us. However, Miss Gu seems unwell. You should send her to the hospital quickly."
Mu Jiu Chen glanced at his wife. Wasn't she going to give Gu Yuexin the antidote?
Gu Yuexin's face was flushed, and her eyes were languid. It was obvious she had been drugged.
"What hospital? Before going to the hospital, I want the police to investigate this woman. When I walked here just now, I smelled a fishy scent." Gu Yuexin endured the unbearable sensation, like ants biting her, and glared fiercely at Yan Xi.
Yan Xi's nerves instantly tensed. She was a wanted criminal and couldn't be caught.
"Alright, Xin Xin, stop making a fuss. Dad will have someone take you to the hospital." Gu Li said, giving a signal to the bodyguards not far away.
Two bodyguards came over and took away the struggling Gu Yuexin.
"Dad, what are you doing? That woman drugged me, and you're saying and doing nothing. Dad, do you still have me in your heart...?" Gu Yuexin continued to curse as she was dragged away.
Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiu Chen both looked at Gu Li with deep eyes.
Gu Li's attitude made them very puzzled.
"Miss, are you alright? Xin Xin is too reckless. I saw what happened just now. Did you get hurt anywhere?" Gu Li asked Yan Xi with a smile.
Yan Xi smiled elegantly, "Chairman Gu, I'm fine!"
"That's good!"
Gu Li looked at Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiu Chen, "Little Jiu, then I won't disturb your meal."
"Feel free, Chairman Gu. My wife and I will eat first." Mu Jiu Chen's smile didn't reach his eyes, and his gaze at Gu Li became deeper.
"Yes, yes, yes. Soon, a new batch of Alaskan King Crab will be served. They are all the finest ingredients. You must eat more." Gu Li smiled and turned to leave.
Yan Xi also left unwillingly. As she left, she glanced at Jiang Nuan. Jiang Nuan wasn't looking at her but was eating.
Yan Xi suddenly felt a sense of overwhelming defeat. She lost to Jiang Nuan every time and was about to explode with anger at herself.
Jiang Nuan watched Yan Xi leave, then looked at Yan Xi's retreating back, her brow furrowed, lost in thought, "Yan Xi knows Gu Li."
Jiang Nuan withdrew her gaze and looked at Mu Jiu Chen. His eyes were somewhat bloodshot, and he was staring intently at her.
Jiang Nuan's gaze flickered. Looking at the restrained Mu Jiu Chen, her face turned very unpleasant, "You... are you uncomfortable?"
Mu Jiu Chen glared at her, "Yes!"
"That's strange. Why am I okay? I took the same batch of antidote as you." Jiang Nuan looked at him thoughtfully, confused. "Since you've been affected, let's continue acting."
Mu Jiu Chen: "..." He was very uncomfortable!
Although not severe, he was really uncomfortable!
He realized that woman Yan Xi was truly dangerous.
Mu Jiu Chen stood up unsteadily and said to Jiang Nuan, "I'm going to the restroom. There's a hotel nearby. I can only last half an hour at most." That was his limit.
Jiang Nuan looked at him with guilt and apology. She reached out and squeezed his hot cheek, "Husband, it won't take that long. Pretend a little better. Jiang Yuxin is also here. Maybe she will approach you. Be careful."
Mu Jiu Chen: "..."
He staggered away. Anyway, with his wife here, he could rest assured and entrust himself to her.
As soon as Mu Jiu Chen left, Jiang Nuan sent a message to Xiao Fan, asking Xiao Fan to follow Mu Jiu Chen closely. To ensure Mu Jiu Chen's safety, she had also arranged for Number One to be there in advance.
"Mrs. Mu, my name is Chu Yi. Nice to meet you."
Five or six women immediately crowded around.
Jiang Nuan's gaze flickered. She watched Jiang Yuxin walk in the direction Mu Jiu Chen had left.
