When Qin Zhou and the rest saw Little Munchkin, they were surprised. For the past six years, Young Master Mu had kept him well protected and never allowed him to be exposed to the media.
Why was he wearing a British-style Armani suit? Was he planning to let the young heir show his face at the cocktail party?
What surprised Qin Zhou even more was that, at first glance, he found the boy's facial features to be very familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
Qin Zhou snapped out of his daze and turned to look at Yun Shishi in surprise. However, she lowered her head and bit her lip. She looked very helpless.
Her brows were tightly knitted and she hid herself behind Gu Xingze. Her left hand hugged her right arm in a defensive posture.
If one were to look at her and Xiao Yichen separately, it would be difficult to make the connection.
However, now that the two of them were facing each other, it was easy to make a comparison.
If Mu Wanrou wasn't Xiao Yichen's biological mother, Qin Zhou might have doubted it. However, now that Xiao Yichen was standing in front of him, it was a stark contrast.
Although blood ties were mysterious, they couldn't fool anyone.
Heredity was an even more mysterious thing.
When Xiao Yichen and Mu Wanrou stood together, they didn't look like mother and son.
However, when he stood together with Yun Shishi, they looked like biological children.
Qin Zhou's eyes darted back and forth between Yun Shishi and Little Yichen. His gaze was somewhat secretive.
Gu Xingze sensed Qin Zhou's scrutinizing gaze on Yun Shishi and Xiao Yichen. He shot him a warning look.
Qin Zhou obviously received his warning signal and pursed his lips.
He didn't know, but Gu Xingze couldn't calm down for a long time.
Like everyone else, he had never seen the Young Master of the Mu family. This was the first time they were meeting.
Unlike everyone else, he had seen the child beside Yun Shishi. He looked very similar to the Young Master of the Mu family.
It was as if they were cast from the same mold.
No one would believe that they weren't biological brothers.
He was more shocked and confused than anyone else.
The situation suddenly froze. The atmosphere was so quiet that it was as if it had been frozen.
Alan was the first to react. He greeted the man respectfully, "Chairman Mu!"
"Chairman Mu …" Shao Dong also came back to his senses. He restrained his anger and greeted Mu Yazhe respectfully, "Chairman Mu, how have you been?"
Unlike his earlier arrogance toward Gu Xingze, Shao Dong's attitude took a 360-degree turn this time. His bearing was dignified and his face was respectful.
Although Gu Xingze was famous, he was after all, he was a celebrity. Mu Yazhe was.
The Mu's Consortium was a big business. Even a small subsidiary company was far more powerful than the Shao's.
He could ignore Gu Xingze.
Mu Yazhe, however, could not!
Han Yuyan had never seen Mu Yazhe before. The heir of the Mu Group had always been mysterious and unpredictable. News about the Mu family had always been groundless.
However, she also knew how to act according to the situation. Seeing that even the arrogant Shao Dong was respectful to this man, she immediately put on an elegant demeanor. She put on a perfect smile and looked at Mu Yazhe charmingly.
Shao Dong saw that Mu Yazhe did not respond. He took a step forward and extended his right hand. "Chairman Mu, do you still remember me?"
Chairman Mu?!
Could it be the rumored most mysterious wealthy family in the capital … the Mu family?
Han Yuyan listened on the side and cursed in her heart.
Who else could make the arrogant Shao Dong put on a humble front to please a noble and respectfully address him as "Young Master Mu" except for the Mu family in the capital?
Mu Yazhe nodded and looked at him. Compared to Shao Dong's flattering face, he still had a cold expression on his face. "You are?"
Shao Dong's face froze. A nervous smile appeared on his face. "Chairman Mu, have you forgotten? We met during the acquisition of Meng's Enterprise … "
"I've forgotten." Mu Yazhe clearly did not have the patience to listen to his explanation as he brushed past him.
Shao Dong did not have time to withdraw his hand and Han Yuyan was still smiling elegantly. The scene was extremely awkward.
Qin Zhou could not help but snort. He muttered, "You think too highly of yourself. You're just a nouveau riche. How dare you try to climb up the social ladder of a wealthy family?"
His voice was very low, as if he was talking to himself, but he deliberately said it for Shao Dong to hear. Shao Dong's face turned green, and Han Yuyan's face was not any better. She was so embarrassed that her face turned red.
Shao Dong had put on an extremely respectful attitude, but he had been completely ignored. Shao Dong was also very angry.
What an arrogant man!
Mu Yazhe walked to Gu Xingze. There was a flaw in his cold expression.
Two men. One was mature and arrogant. The other was gentle.
One was extremely handsome. The other was elegant and handsome.
However, Mu Yazhe was taller than Gu Xingze. Therefore, it was inevitable that he looked down on him.
In comparison, Gu Xingze's aura was slightly weaker.
Mu Yazhe's lips curled into a contemptuous and arrogant smile. The nonchalant smile on his face did not reach his eyes.
"So beautiful!"
He turned to look at Yun Shishi, who was behind Gu Xingze. She was dressed to the nines. His eyes were filled with surprise.
He had seen this woman before. Her beauty was like a lotus flower in clear water. Her temperament was elegant and otherworldly. However, now, she looked noble and elegant in the gorgeous gown.
The red and coquettish gown accentuated her graceful figure. The long gown was like a blooming rose. It was sexy and charming. At this moment, she looked like a beautiful aristocrat.
Mu Yazhe's lips curled into a smile as he added. "This gown."
Whether a gown was beautiful or not depended on the person wearing it.
However, Yun Shishi was a little afraid of this powerful man. She could not help but take a few steps back toward Gu Xingze.
Her small, jade-like hand could not help but grip the corner of Gu Xingze's shirt. Mu Yazhe noticed this small movement.
This proud and arrogant man was slightly displeased at this moment.
Xiao Yichen stood aside and blinked. He felt that this woman was a little strange.
She looked so timid.
Just like a little deer.
However, Xiao Yichen felt that this woman was really beautiful from the bottom of his heart.
She was dressed in a luxurious red gown. It was especially elegant and noble!
She was beautiful, but at the same time, she gave him a strange feeling.
He felt like he had seen this woman somewhere before.
Faintly, some fragmented dreams appeared in his mind. He could not remember them at the moment, but he felt that this woman was so familiar. So familiar …
It was as if there was some kind of deep bond between the two of them …
This feeling was indescribable, but it felt very close.
When he saw her for the first time, she did not feel unfamiliar. She even gave him an inexplicable warmth.
This kind of warmth was too unfamiliar, but it was fascinating. He had never felt it even from his mother.
Xiao Yichen tilted his head. His mind was a little messy!
His dearest mommy was standing right next to him, but he felt so distant.
An unfamiliar woman was standing in front of him, but he could feel her gentleness.
Xiao Yichen pursed his lips and shook his head.
Don't let your imagination run wild!
Mu Wanrou looked at Yun Shishi and saw the gown that was so beautiful that it was difficult to look at it directly. She felt even more dazzled.
Yun Shishi, who was standing in front of Mu Yazhe, looked like a fairy queen. She was luxurious and elegant, but she was just a commoner. How could she have the right to step in here?
EMPRESS was the fashion symbol of the aristocratic circle. How could a commoner be so ignorant as to invade her territory?
Furthermore, she was in such a glamorous position. Wasn't this a provocation to her?
"Alan!" Mu Wanrou shouted in a low voice.
Alan immediately smiled respectfully and said, "Yes, Miss Mu."
"Since when did EMPRESS welcome a lowly commoner like her?" Mu Wanrou pointed at Yun Shishi arrogantly. Her voice was cold as if she was driving away a lowly beggar.
Alan's face immediately looked a little awkward, but he cursed in his heart. Aiyo, if you're jealous, you can just say it directly! How did Miss Yun provoke you? Isn't she just prettier than you and more elegant than you? Miss Mu, you really don't choose your words carefully when you're jealous.
"Miss Mu, you've misunderstood. Miss Yun was invited by Xingzhe! "
"Oh?" Mu Wanrou laughed arrogantly. "Xingzhe, since when did you have such low standards to invite such a poor commoner to a place like this?"
Qin Zhou's face immediately turned cold. "Miss Mu, please tone it down. Show some respect! People don't live too well. Since when is there a difference between nobles and commoners? There's no sign at the entrance of EMPRESS that says' commoners are not allowed in '! "
As he said that, he pretended to cry. "Miss Mu, the commoner you're talking about, are you referring to me?"
Mu Wanrou's face turned pale. She endured it and said, "I'm not talking about you!"
"Then … is it our Xingzhe?" Qin Zhou looked at her pitifully. He was just short of using a handkerchief to pretend to be innocent.
"No, I'm talking about her!" Mu Wanrou secretly gritted her teeth and pointed at Yun Shishi.
"Aiya, how did our Shishi become a commoner?! She's Xingzhe's date tonight! I brought her here to try on this gown. "
"Xingzhe's date?"
Gu Xingze's date?
Mu Wanrou was so shocked that her expression changed. Even Han Yuyan was shocked.
Gu Xingze's date? What did that mean?
It meant absolute exposure and headlines. Just based on Gu Xingze's popularity, he could dominate the headlines of many entertainment pages!
Why?! What did this woman have? Back then, when Huanyu promoted Han Yuyan, the company's higher-ups repeatedly pressured Gu Xingze to walk the red carpet with Han Yuyan, but he ignored them all! What did this woman have?!
Han Yuyan's eyes turned red with jealousy.
Mu Yazhe's gaze turned cold.
Gu Xingze's date? Would she be attending Huanyu's annual cocktail party tonight?
This woman was dressed up for another man.
