After Jiang Muyu left, Jiang Nuan went upstairs and called No. 1.
"J."
On the rooftop of the most luxurious building in the commercial district stood a man in a white shirt. He was tall, one meter eighty-five, lean and refined.
His features were striking, gentle, and completely non-threatening.
Upon receiving the call, he smiled tenderly.
"I thought you were going to disappear for good, that would have been more your style, but you called me again."
Jiang Nuan sat before the vanity, looking at herself in the mirror, her alluring eyes turning gently, radiating beauty.
Her beautiful appearance wasn't always useful.
She slowly curved her red lips, her smile deepening, "Prepare my makeup tools and get me an identity. I need to enter with a different persona tonight."
The man leaned slightly against the window, his posture languid and relaxed. Behind him, on a virtual screen, scenes from several cities alternated.
He looked at the densely packed cities, his peach blossom eyes full of charm, and when he smiled, he was exceptionally captivating, "Understood. Twenty Haoji Street, when you arrive, someone will be prepared for you, and someone will guide you."
Jiang Nuan: "Okay!"
After hanging up, she called Mu Jiuchen.
"Nuannuan, I'm almost home." Mu Jiuchen's voice was very gentle, intentionally so, but without any awkwardness, even containing barely suppressed excitement, "We're not coming back tonight."
Jiang Nuan: "..."
"Heh heh..." She couldn't help but laugh, "A cat that steals fish can never change its nature."
Mu Jiuchen was dejected, "Nuannuan, can't I even eat my fish anymore?"
Jiang Nuan: "..." Fortunately, it wasn't fish that had come to her willingly, otherwise, she would have been too embarrassed.
"You can, but I won't be going to the banquet with you tonight. I will also be present at the banquet; I have other plans tonight."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jiuchen's expression changed, "Nuannuan, don't mess around."
"I know, you don't need to worry. See you at the banquet!"
Jiang Nuan said crisply and hung up.
She packed her gear, a cool smile curving her lips. Tonight, there might be considerable gains.
Mu Jiuchen watched the phone being hung up by Jiang Nuan, his gaze flickering. What was this little girl up to again?
The Yu family in Modu also had a prominent background. Although they were not worthy of carrying shoes for the Lu family, the two families were good friends, and people gave them face.
The banquet hall was prepared luxuriously.
Because the Lu family was also coming, many influential figures would attend to show their support.
And because Mu Jiuchen would also be present tonight, many people came specifically to catch a glimpse of his charisma.
Yu Meng stood at the entrance with her son, Yu Hui, welcoming guests.
Seeing Jin Yan arrive with Lu Qiaoyi and Lu Jin Yue, Yu Meng smiled and hugged Jin Yan and Lu Qiaoyi.
The eldest daughter of the Lu family in Modu, gentle and kind, graceful and beautiful, she was admired by many men in Modu.
However, the previous banquet had somewhat affected her reputation.
This time, the gazes of those men towards Lu Qiaoyi were not as ardent as before.
Lu Qiaoyi also felt the strange glances from those around her, wishing she could tear Jiang Nuan to pieces.
It was all because of her; she was once radiant, and now she was being gossiped about.
"I didn't look closely at Lu Qiaoyi before, but now that I do, she looks quite effeminate. A woman like this who smiles on the surface can be poisonous as a snake behind your back. Who would dare to marry her."
A man standing by the wine cabinet, with his legs slightly bent, smiled in Lu Qiaoyi's direction, "Before, she was overshadowed by the Lu family's prestige, so of course, no one thought deeply about it. Once something happens, a person's true nature is revealed."
"What you're saying is nothing. I also heard that she might have killed someone. A few months ago, a mother and son were hit and killed by a car, and it's rumored she was involved."
These words were overheard by Lu Qiaoyi precisely.
Lu Qiaoyi suddenly turned around and saw four or five men standing by the wine cabinet, but she didn't know who had spoken.
She was terrified. Why were her carefully hidden secrets discovered?
This matter had been weighing on her mind, and a single string was always on the verge of snapping.
The moment she heard that sentence just now, her blood ran cold, and even her breathing slowed.
Lu Qiaoyi looked around at the people, feeling as if they were all looking at her with strange eyes.
Terrified, she lowered her head, walked through the crowd, and headed towards the restroom.
Jiang Nuan, Meng Yuan, and others knew about the matter of Liu Fei and his son. She had been very uneasy. Moreover, tomorrow morning, her loving father would also go blind because of her, and eventually die.
Since last night, fear had been tormenting her.
Unbeknownst to Lu Qiaoyi, behind the men stood a very beautiful, long-haired woman with exquisite features. However, she kept her head down and wore understated clothing, so few people noticed her.
She exchanged a glance with the man standing in front, and the man followed the direction Lu Qiaoyi had taken.
Lu Qiaoyi didn't dare to look up all the way. When she reached the restroom entrance, she turned to the lounge area instead. Standing at the entrance, she looked left and right to ensure no one was around before taking out her phone and dialing the number that filled her with dread.
"Hello! Yiyi, what's wrong?"
"I'm at a banquet, how could someone else know about the car accident?" Her voice trembled.
The other party comforted her, "Yiyi, don't be nervous. Someone will take the blame for you tonight."
"Who?" As long as this matter was resolved, she could live properly.
"Don't worry, I will arrange it. You just enjoy the banquet." The man hung up after speaking.
Lu Qiaoyi's adrenaline surged, and her whole body turned cold.
After composing herself for a while, she returned to the banquet hall.
The long-haired beauty in the banquet received a message.
[Too far away!]
The woman frowned slightly. She had missed such a good opportunity just now.
Her gaze swept over the crowd, then landed on Li He entering the venue. She narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.
She picked up a glass of juice, took a sip, and then walked towards Li He.
After a few steps, she saw a man walking towards her. The man was wearing a black shirt and black pants, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, making his upright figure even more imposing. The man had sharp eyebrows and star-like eyes, walking without looking aside, appearing even more unapproachable. His dark eyes glinted with faint light under the lamps, a walking embodiment of pure charisma.
The women around were stunned.
He was followed by Xiao Fan and two bodyguards, protecting him from front and back.
Mu Jiuchen's gaze met that of the beautiful woman opposite him, and his steps suddenly paused.
The woman before him had a completely unfamiliar face, but those eyes were the ones he knew best.
Mu Jiuchen: "..." No matter how she changed, he could still recognize her in a crowd.
The corners of his lips slowly curved into a handsome arc, instantly illuminating the entire banquet hall.
As he brushed past the beauty, the smile in his eyes turned a little wicked. He lightly touched the back of her hand with his little finger, an action that sent shivers down her spine. Seeing his faintly mischievous smile made him even more captivating.
