"I … I can't take it …"
Mu Xi pushed the card back and shook her head frantically. "Shishi, I can't take it from you!"
"Why are you being so polite with me? Just treat it as a loan. "
"My dad …"
Mu Xi gritted her teeth and hesitated for a while. In the end, she did not have the courage to tell her everything. Instead, she said with difficulty, "My dad is fine …"
"Then, I've noticed that you don't look well these past two days."
Yun Shishi smiled. "If you're unhappy about something, feel free to tell me."
"…"
Mu Xi was flustered. She hurriedly stood up and said, "I … I'll go to the washroom."
"Oh …"
Yun Shishi watched in a daze as she suddenly stood up and hurried into the washroom. She was a little confused.
Mu Xi dashed into the washroom and locked the door from the inside. She held onto the counter for support as tears streamed down her face. She bit her lower lip hard and covered her mouth uneasily. Looking at the mirror, her eyes were redder than ever.
Yoo Yoo walked over and saw Yun Shishi sitting on the sofa. She was dressed neatly and had light makeup on. He asked curiously, "Mommy, are you going out today?"
"Mhm. Didn't I tell you before that there's a charity banquet tonight? "
The little lad tilted his head curiously and was a little puzzled. "Are you going alone?"
Yun Shishi said, "Mu Xi will accompany me."
Yoo Yoo frowned but did not say anything.
There was actually no need to attend a charity banquet. Most charity banquets appeared to be for charity on the surface, but they were not serious banquets behind the scenes.
Many powerful entrepreneurs would attend charity banquets. Hence, many female celebrities would often use charity banquets as an excuse to travel among the big shots of the business world in search of potential investors.
If they could hook up with a potential investor, it meant that they would have a meteoric rise in their career.
Many entertainment companies would also try their best to push their artistes into such banquets in order to broaden their network.
These entrepreneurs, under the guise of charity, could establish a positive image in front of the public by doing charity on the surface. Behind the scenes, they could use this banquet to look for potential partners. It was the best of both worlds.
Still, since Mu Xi was with him, he believed that nothing would go wrong.
Yoo Yoo asked, "When is Mommy coming back?"
"I'll be back as soon as the party is over."
Just as she finished speaking, Mu Xi walked out of the washroom. She smiled at Yun Shishi and said, "Shishi, the car is waiting for us. Let's go!"
Yun Shishi nodded and said to her, "Wait, I'll go get the necklace."
"…" Mu Xi's face froze for a moment before she nodded unnaturally.
Yun Shishi took out the jewelry box, only to see her assistant standing at the door, biting her nails nervously. She furrowed her brows. "Mu Xi, what's wrong?"
"I … I'm afraid I won't make it in time."
"Didn't you say eight o 'clock in the evening?"
"Go early, or you'll be late."
As she spoke, she held Yun Shishi's hand and said, "Let's go!"
Yun Shishi did not think much of it. She nodded and followed her assistant to the entrance of the villa. She looked around but did not see the waiting car. Curious, she asked, "Where's the car?"
"It's parked on Zongheng Road."
"So far?"
Zongheng Road was a kilometer away from here. Why was it parked so far away?
