Mu Chuqing's slender fingers gripped onto the wine glass. Sheng Yuchen gently clinked his wine glass with hers, and Mu chuqing was suddenly caught off guard, and the slender handle of the wine glass almost slipped from her hand.
Seeing the wine about to splash on Mu Chuqing's chest, Sheng Yuchen quickly reached out and held onto Mu Chuqing's white and slender soft wrist and stealthily applied some force. He smiled and said, "Be careful, your dress today is so beautiful…"
Mu Chuqing quietly gritted her teeth. Her gaze shifted slightly, and she exerted strength into the fingers holding the wine glass, spilling all of the red wine on Sheng Yuchen.
"Chen, are you alright?" Chang Chu gasped in shock.
"Sorry, my hand slipped!"
Mu Chuqing's face looked apologetic, but there was a slight sneer lingering at the corner of her mouth.
Sheng Yuchen's expression was rather dark. He pulled his soaking wet arm away from Chang Chu's hand and walked towards the washroom.
"Mu Chuqing, you did this on purpose!" Chang Chu tried to keep her voice down as she spoke through her gritted teeth.
However, Mu Chuqing just lifted up her eyebrows and smiled smugly.
"You…"
"Mu Chuqing?!"
At that moment, a fierce and stern female voice suddenly called. Mu Chuqing froze for a moment. She saw the surprise and happiness flashing across Chang Chu's face and slowly and gracefully turned around.
Ye Yun, Witch Ye.
She was wearing a golden-yellow
Mu Chuqing looked at Ye Yun, her face covered in a thick layer of makeup, and her head held high in arrogance. There was an obvious look of disgust and hatred across Ye Yun's face.
Mu Chuqing presented as if she didn't see the disgust and hatred and spoke politely, "Long time no see, Mrs. Sheng!"
The corners of Ye Yun's mouth trembled lightly. She said unhappily, "Why are you here? You're not welcome here. Please leave!"
Mu Chuqing smiled coldly. However, Gu Yian stepped forward, quickly pulling Mu Chuqing into his arms. "Auntie, Chuqing is my date for tonight. Besides, she was also invited here. Please don't embarrass her!"
"Yian, you…"
Ye Yun looked at Gu Yian, then pointed at Mu Chuqing, and finally swallowed her words.
Her sharp gaze assessed Mu Chuqing from head to toe. She froze for a while, and finally laughed mockingly.
Mu Chuqing looked at the changing expressions across Ye Yun's face and secretly found it funny.
Looks like this old witch was still thinking of some method to put her in a difficult spot again.
Just as Mu Chuqing thought about that, the old witch dragged Chang Chu and began yet another 'performance'.
"Chu Chu, I remember that you finally managed to invite your favorite international jewelry designer Able to this banquet this time?"
Mu Chuqing's eyes narrowed. A strange expression filled her cold and calm gaze.
Chang Chu was puzzled for a moment, then she looked up at Mu Chuqing, as a look of mockery flashed across her eyes before she nodded.
"That's right. He's the jewelry designer I admire the most. Chen had personally invited him! I want Able to help me design a one-and-only unique set of wedding jewelry in the world!"
However, Mu Chuqing couldn't be bothered wasting her breath on them. She clinked her wine glass against Gu Yian's, lifted her head up to take a sip, and said, "Go ahead, you must have many friends around here, right!"
Gu Yian asked her back, "You're not coming along?"
Mu Chuqing shook her head. Her tone was a little bitter. "You know very well, how could I possibly have any friends here?"
Gu Yian blinked his warm and gentle eyes. "Then let me introduce you to my friends!"
Mu Chuqing opened her mouth slightly in surprise. A gush of warmth welled up in her heart. She hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded.
Gu Yian had just turned around together with Mu Chuqing when a loud voice called from behind them. Suddenly, almost everyone in the banquet turned and focused on Mu Chuqing.
"CEO Mu, aren't the accessories you're wearing now a set of 'Sunshine' series designed by Master Able?"
