"Oh my! He's so handsome, extremely handsome!" A girl in the welcoming crew squealed softly.
"He's really so handsome, my heart can't take it, oh my god, I am going to faint..."
"I've heard, he's the Crown Prince of the Mu Group."
"Mu Group! One of the three great families in Jin City? I... my legs are going... wobbly..."
"Not only that, I heard he's the head of the Mu Group and privately owns many enterprises. Everyone calls him Mr. Xiaojiu."
"Mr. Xiaojiu is looking at me, he's looking at me! I'm really going to faint!"
"Nonsense. He's looking at me!"
"..."
There was a cacophony of feminine chatter, but it did not divert Baili Xia's attention at all."
Because that burning gaze was directed at her, it seemed like it was on fire, yet, in an instant, it was like an iceberg.
The contrast between the hot and cold made Baili Xia shiver uncontrollably.
"He... He's looking at Xiaxia!" Someone seemed to have discovered a big secret and immediately exclaimed.
Baili Xia, frightened, felt her nose become colder. Lifting her head, she saw Mu Xiaojiu had already walked away amidst the crowd.
He walked within the crowd, with more than a dozen others by his side.
Besides Mr. Qi, who was respectfully talking to him, none of the numerous people from the Shengyi Group dared to approach him.
That man called Ye Hua was always following behind him, matching his pace.
Everyone followed behind him, their faces wary and they dared not even breathe heavily.
This vast display of dominance and power, Baili Xia had not seen in anyone else in her eighteen years of life.
The Shengyi Group is not a small company, and it's very famous here, yet, even the boss flatters him.
Is the identity of the head of the Mu Group really so scary?
"Who said earlier that Mr. Xiaojiu was looking at Baili Xia?" When the dozen or so people walked away, someone in the welcoming party immediately voiced their dissatisfaction.
A few female colleagues walked to Baili Xia, looks of disdain in their eyes. "Why don't you take a look at yourself, daring to fantasize about our Mr. Xiaojiu."
"Do you know who he is? Are you aware of who the head of the Mu Group is? That man who could stir up Jin City with just a footstep, would he look at you?"
"I've seen many delusional people, but never one as shameless as this."
"Exactly, Mr. Xiaojiu was clearly looking at Yaya earlier, why would he look at this ugly freak?"
The twenty or so people around were laughing maliciously, but Baili Xia didn't care, she wasn't interested in this kind of thing.
The girl named Yaya didn't participate but just glanced indifferently at Baili Xia.
She snorted lightly, then headed for the lobby.
Unlike the others, she was Qi Ya, Mr. Qi's daughter.
She was not here to stand with them and greet guests, but to get a firsthand look at the man who was said to be like a god of war.
Now that she had seen him, Mu Xiaojiu, in person, was far more handsome and charming than she had imagined.
Of all the men she had ever met, Mu Xiaojiu was the most charismatic and handsome.
Mr. Xiaojiu, this man, she had claimed him!
"Yaya, are you going to perform for Mr. Xiaojiu later?" A girl chased her and asked ingratiatingly.
Qi Ya smiled sweetly, and her elegant and crisp voice floated through the breeze. "Not so soon, my father said it would be after lunch, there's no hurry."
Despite saying this, her pace did not slow at all as she walked.
Several girls chased after her, filled with envy, jealousy and resentment.
"Miss Qiyaya will undoubtedly look stunning in her cosplay outfit. Surely, this afternoon, Mr. Xiaojiu will be absolutely entranced!"
"Is that even a question?" The other person echoed.
"Just now, Mr. Xiaojiu was looking at our Yaya, he was completely fixated, definitely not looking at all those mixed-up ugly monsters."
Qi Ya laughed, "Don't talk nonsense. Perhaps, he was just looking at the scenery."
"Isn't Miss Qi Ya a beautiful sight herself? Hehe..."
