Chapter 175: Embarrass Her
The atmosphere of the Spring Festival is becoming more and more intense. Qianyi has already had her annual leave, but Lin Mingmo is still busy. She is overwhelmed by the banquets hosted by the various families in Jiangjin. As the daughter of the Mo family, she also needs to show her face in front of everyone on these special occasions.
Of course, the grandest and most eye-catching event as always is Shengshi Group’s year-end dinner.
This year, the Mo family received an invitation from the Sheng family as usual.
"Xiaomo, this..." Mo Bozhao was a little embarrassed.
He probably knew about the entanglement between Lin Mingmo and the Sheng family, and also knew that the Sheng family had some prejudice against Lin Mingmo.
The relationship between the Mo and Sheng families must be maintained, and he is worried that Lin Mingmo will be dissatisfied...
After all, this was her first year back at the Mo family, and in a few days, she would be returning to the Zhao family in Luochuan for the holidays. Not wanting to be a spoiler, Lin Mingmo offered, "I can attend the Sheng family banquet with you."
"It's their own business if they don't like me," Lin Mingmo said lightly. "Anyway, I've let it go."
There were hundreds of guests at the Sheng family banquet, and I guess those people in the Sheng family couldn't care less about her.
Mo Bozhao looked at Lin Mingmo's expressionless face, feeling a little worried, but soon, he smiled kindly, "That's good. Don't worry."
After all, the Mo family and the Sheng family have a deep cooperation, and he is already very satisfied that Lin Mingmo is willing to maintain this superficial relationship.
On the evening of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiangjin Hela Hotel.
The banquet hall is brightly lit and shining. A giant crystal fountain flows slowly in the center of the banquet hall, and the gurgling sound of water complements the melodious symphony.
On the stage, dancers jumped and danced lightly.
Celebrities gathered together, everyone raised their glasses, laughed and chatted.
The banquet hall was well heated, and naturally became an occasion for many people to compete with each other.
Every female guest looked like a human-shaped jewelry display stand, with gorgeous and shining jewelry.
Fang Yaqi wore a blood-red, slim-fitting, tube-length fishtail dress that outlined her slender and perfect figure, and the pigeon egg-sized rubies on her neck and ears were even more eye-catching.
Recently, Fang Yaqi has become a hot topic in the circle.
After many twists and turns, she finally became Sheng Yuan's fiancée and stayed by his side openly.
Sure enough, first love is the most unforgettable.
"Hello, Miss Fang..."
Many women approached Fang Yaqi with wine glasses in hand, trying to get close to her with warm compliments.
After all, today is a great opportunity to get closer to the Sheng family, and no one is willing to miss it.
Fang Yaqi was like a proud peacock, slightly raising her head, looking at the vulgar women in front of her, a faint smile on her lips, enjoying the moment of being the center of attention, clinking glasses with everyone one by one.
"Ms. Fang, your jewelry is truly beautiful, but it pales in comparison to your beauty..."
"This is the set that was auctioned three years ago. It seems to have been bought by a mysterious buyer for 200 million yuan." Another person said in surprise, "So it was bought by the Fourth Master of the Sheng Family!"
"Miss Fang is so lucky..."
"..."
Everyone praised each other and the scene was unusually harmonious.
The harmonious scene lasted for a while, and suddenly, the female guests' attention was attracted by a beautiful figure that suddenly appeared at the door, and their eyes all turned over there.
"That one is..."
"It seems to be the newly adopted daughter of the Mo family. I've seen her before at the Li family's banquet."
"It's so beautiful..." someone couldn't help but sigh.
When Fang Yaqi heard this, her eyes flashed. She slowly turned around and looked at Lin Mingmo, who was exchanging polite greetings with someone at the door of the banquet hall, with her teeth clenched.
I have to admit that Lin Mingmo is really beautiful.
She was wearing a silk lilac-colored long dress, which sparkled under the light. She had light makeup on her face, her hairstyle was a very simple bun, and the jewelry she wore was the simplest white diamonds. She looked relaxed and comfortable.
But it is beautiful.
Fang Yaqi could feel that the attention of the people at the door was focused on Lin Mingmo.
Haha, she dares to come to the Sheng family’s territory?
Fang Yaqi thought to herself that Sheng Yuan just didn't allow her to appear in front of Lin Mingmo. Now, Lin Mingmo came to him on her own initiative, so she couldn't blame her, right?
Thinking of this, Fang Yaqi walked towards Lin Mingmo with a gloomy face.
"Good evening, Uncle Mo, and Happy New Year!" Fang Yaqi greeted Mo Bozhao with a smile.
The moment he saw Fang Yaqi, Mo Bozhao was a little surprised and subconsciously turned his head to look at Lin Mingmo beside him.
Only after seeing that Lin Mingmo looked calm as usual did he respond to Fang Yaqi's greeting.
"Oh! Xiaoqi, long time no see, you are getting more and more beautiful. Are your parents doing well abroad?"
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Mo. They are doing very well. My father told me a while ago that he missed the days when we drank together in our youth." Fang Yaqi smiled generously and brightly.
Lin Mingmo looked at her and raised her eyebrows slightly, not knowing what she was going to do next.
Sure enough, after a few seconds of fake smile, Fang Yaqi said, "Uncle Mo, can I borrow Xiaomo for a while?"
"Uh, this..." Mo Bozhao looked at Lin Mingmo.
Lin Mingmo narrowed her eyes and stared at Fang Yaqi for a few seconds.
She knew that Fang Yaqi must have said something bad, but it would be troublesome if Fang Yaqi yelled in such an occasion.
After a brief consideration, Lin Mingmo finally relented, "I'll be back in ten minutes."
Fang Yaqi let out a light hum as she turned around.
Lin Mingmo followed Fang Yaqi to the group of female guests.
"Let me introduce to everyone, this is... Sheng Yang's ex-wife." Fang Yaqi introduced her to everyone, but she used the identity that Lin Mingmo was most reluctant to mention.
Lin Mingmo's expression froze, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
"Is Sheng Yang married? No, I guess not..."
"never heard of that……"
"Hey, I heard someone mention it before. Sheng Yang was tricked into marriage."
"But didn't the Mo family's daughter talk to Sheng Yuan?"
Those present who didn't understand what was going on began to discuss quietly.
This was exactly the effect Fang Yaqi wanted. She shrugged complacently and continued, "After all, the Mo family's little daughter had been living away from home for a long time, so it's normal for her to have rich life experiences. Speaking of which, if she hadn't found ways to hook up with the Sheng family, she might not have known she was adopted."
Fang Yaqi's tone was extremely sarcastic, but everyone understood her very well.
After all, who can be nice to their fiancé's ex-girlfriend?
The discussion among the crowd became louder, and the looks they gave Lin Mingmo were less admiring and more contemptuous than before.
After all, it is still clear which is more important, pleasing the Sheng family or pleasing the Mo family.
Fang Yaqi had a smug smile on her face. She turned around and admired Lin Mingmo's embarrassed expression.
Lin Mingmo pursed her lips, and her face did not look very good, but soon she smiled with relief.
Fang Yaqi just wanted to embarrass her.
It's not like I haven't experienced more embarrassing situations before.
"Everyone seems to be very interested in my past. How about we find a quiet place and chat slowly?" Lin Mingmo chuckled.
Those people obviously did not expect Lin Mingmo to react like this. For a moment, there was silence and everyone looked at each other.
"What are you afraid of?" Lin Mingmo raised an eyebrow. "Isn't the purpose of tonight's event for everyone to make friends and bond? Or... am I not qualified to be your friend?"
Lin Mingmo's gaze swept across the faces of these people one by one. When her gaze touched them, those people unconsciously avoided her.
It seemed like if he accepted Lin Mingmo's proposal, he would be going against Fang Yaqi.
But this woman looked gentle, not as sharp as Fang Yaqi, but there was a faint sense of oppression in her eyes.
No one dares to be the first to speak out.
Fang Yaqi snorted twice, glanced at Lin Mingmo with contempt, and was quite satisfied with the result.
"It seems that not everyone can enter everyone's circle of friends." Fang Yaqi shook her head and said jokingly, "Only someone as generous as me would not care about your previous clinging to A Yuan."
Not far away, Sheng Yuan and Mo Zheng walked in while talking.
Sheng Yuan raised his eyes, and the beautiful figure suddenly appeared in his sight. For a moment, all the people and objects in the banquet hall seemed to have lost their color, and he only saw the elegant mauve color.
"Momo..."
"Ayuan! Ayuan! What do you think?"
Mo Zheng's voice in his ear brought Sheng Yuan back to his senses.
Sheng Yuan said a few perfunctory words in a calm voice, then looked up and suddenly realized that the atmosphere there was not right.
It seems that Lin Mingmo was bullied by Fang Yaqi!
