Mu Chen Zhou didn't think there was anything wrong with his approach.
Originally, the prerequisite for attending this ball was to be from a wealthy family.
Before the ball started, Mrs. Mu had specially given him a list of all the wealthy families on the list.
It was Family Ying.
However, for Family Ying, only Zhong Manhua, Ying Yuexuan, and Ying Tianlu were invited.
Ying Zhenting wasn't in Hu City and couldn't come back. When the list was drawn up, he wasn't included.
Of course, Zhong Manhua was the one who reported the candidates for the Ying Family.
At that time, Mu Chen Zhou was puzzled. If Ying Zijin was so favored in the Zhong Family, how could Zhong Manhua leave her out?
Then he found out from Zhong Manhua that the Family Ying had already kicked Ying Zijin out.
Originally, she was just an adopted daughter. After leaving the Family Ying, she really had no fate with the upper class of Hu City.
Needless to say, there was a banner hanging at the entrance of the Queen Hotel. Ying Zijin couldn't have missed that the whole place was booked tonight.
Of course, if this ball was held by the wealthy families of Hu City, it was none of his business who came in.
However, this ball was related to the capital. He couldn't mess it up.
The waiter looked in the direction that Mu Chen Zhou was pointing. He was stunned for a moment and said uncertainly, "Is it that lady?"
"Yes, it's her." Mu Chen Zhou nodded. "If she doesn't come in, you don't have to worry about it."
As soon as the waiter agreed, he saw that the girl had already walked to the front of the hall.
The glass door was automatic. When it sensed someone, it automatically opened.
The waiter remembered Mu Chen Zhou's instructions and hurried forward to block the door. "Miss, there is a ball being held here. There are some important people here. You can't go in."
Ying Zijin stopped in her tracks. She first looked at the waiter.
Then, her gaze fell on Mu Chen Zhou, who was five or six meters in front of her.
In less than a second, he retracted his gaze.
Mu Chen Zhou was keenly aware of the girl's light and indifferent glance at him.
It was as if he knew everything.
Mu Chenzhou furrowed his brows and simply walked out.
He was very polite, but his tone was distant. "I asked him to do it. If you have any grievances, you can come at me. There's no need to make things difficult for a worker."
He knew that Ying Zijin would hit him if she didn't agree with him.
"You must be joking." Ying Zijin raised her head. This was the first time she had paid attention to Mu Chen Zhou. Her voice was still as cold and unhurried as usual. "It's not good for your health to lose your temper. There's no need for that."
It was impossible for Mu Chen Zhou not to understand the underlying meaning of this sentence.
He did not deserve to make her lose her temper.
Having lived in the capital for so long, Mu Chen Zhou had naturally come into contact with many rich young ladies.
However, none of them spoke like Ying Zijin did.
"You know that there's going to be a ball here, right?" Mu Chen Zhou pointed to the vertical board next to him. "I'm asking you to go out now out of kindness. At least there aren't many people here now."
"When the ball starts and they check the invitations, you will be kicked out if you don't have one."
Mu Chen Zhou's voice was neither loud nor soft, so the young men who had been talking to him earlier heard it.
They looked over curiously. When their gazes landed on the girl, they could not help but be stunned.
One of them walked over. "Young Master Mu, who is this?"
"No one," Mu Chen Zhou's voice was indifferent. "She wants to take advantage of the fact that no one is watching to fish in troubled waters."
When the young man heard this, he shook his head. "Little girl, today's ball is not just a ball. It's quite important. If it's another ball, I can even take you to see the world."
They were all standing at the door, so it was hard not to notice them.
"Mom, is that Little Sister?" Outside the door, Ying Yuexuan, who was walking up the stairs, suddenly pulled Zhong Manhua's sleeve. "She seems to have been stopped."
The smile on Zhong Manhua's face froze in an instant. "What?"
When she looked over, she saw the person she did not want to see the most.
It was not that no one had asked her about Ying Zijin. Most of them were curious rich ladies.
She cared a lot about her reputation. Naturally, she would not let other families know that Ying Zijin had abandoned them and left the Family Ying.
She saw that no matter what she did, Ying Zijin would not come back.
She might as well tell others that it was the Ying family who drove Ying Zijin out.
"She was stopped." Zhong Manhua was very cold. "Why do you care so much?"
However, before she could finish her sentence, Ying Yuexuan had quickened her pace and walked in.
"Young Master Mu, Little Sister came with us. However, she came first when we went to buy some things." Ying Yuexuan looked at Mu Chenzhou with an unfriendly gaze. "You didn't say that we couldn't bring anyone with us, right? What do you mean by this? "
Mu Chen Zhou was stunned. "She really followed you …"
"No." Zhong Manhua hurried in and interrupted him. "I didn't bring her here."
Ying Yuexuan's face changed. "Mom!"
"Chen Zhou, you don't have to worry about us." Zhong Manhua raised her hand to stop Ying Yuexuan. "If I had brought her here, she would have been added to the list when I gave you."
"I see." Mu Chen Zhou thought for a moment and looked at the girl again. His meaning was clear.
"Then I'll give my invitation to Little Sister." Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips and took out her invitation. "Anyway, I don't know how to dance. I won't …"
"Little girl, you're so charming." A lazy voice came from behind. It wasn't loud, but it easily covered Ying Yuexuan's words. There was a smile on his face. "I've only been gone for a few minutes, but you've already attracted a lot of men and women."
"Oh, Seventh Young Master." The young master from before was excited. "Long time no see. Why are you here this time?"
Fu Yunshen just nodded at him without saying anything.
He walked to the girl and raised his right hand. "Your bag."
Ying Zijin took her bag from Fu Yunshen and put it on.
Then, he reached out and took out a white card. His voice was flat as he said, "No need, I have an invitation."
All eyes were on her hand.
It was indeed an invitation to the ball, but it looked more exquisite.
Mu Chen Zhou's pupils contracted.
He was so close that he could clearly see the word "Mu" written at the bottom of the invitation.
There was even a small red seal on the word.
This was something that the other invitations didn't have.
It was true that Mu Chenzhou had never seen Mu Heqing, but it was impossible that he had never seen Mu Heqing's signature and personal seal.
The invitation in Ying Zijin's hand was actually given by Mu Heqing himself?!
Mu Chen Zhou's mind went still for a moment. He couldn't react.
Ying Yuexuan was also stunned. After a while, she took back the invitation card in her hand and said, "So Little Sister has one."
Ying Zijin didn't reply to her. She didn't see Mu Chen Zhou either. After putting away the invitation, she walked straight past.
Fu Yunshen's gaze swept over her indifferently as he followed behind her.
"Wait!" Mu Chen Zhou couldn't help but ask, "You know my grandfather? Why would he give you an invitation? "
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone around, including Zhong Manhua and Ying Yuexuan, was shocked.
Who in Hua City didn't know Mu Heqing's name?
Ying Zijin knew Mu Heqing?!
If she knew Mu Heqing, would she still be in Hu City?
Anyone who had a relationship with the Mu family would definitely go to the capital to develop their career.
Ying Zijin didn't stop walking. She walked to the front desk and handed over her phone. "I booked the presidential suite 908 yesterday. The surname is Ying."
The receptionist had been paying attention to the movements at the door. When she saw the girl coming, she stood up abruptly. "Hello, I'm at your service."
She quickly checked the order information, took out the room card, and handed it over.
Seeing that the girl ignored her, Mu Chen Zhou pursed her lips slightly.
"Mom." Ying Yuexuan was also a little confused. "How did sister get the invitation?"
The Zhong family had rejected this ball, so no one came.
"Master Fu and the respected head of the Mu family are good friends." Zhong Manhua thought for a while. "I heard that Master Fu was saved by him in the past. Two invitations are nothing."
Hearing this, Mu Chen Zhou sighed softly and felt relieved at the same time.
The seventh young master of the Fu family, Fu Yunshen.
'Ying Zijin, this is all the confidence you have.'
When the other young masters saw that it was a farce, they chatted and laughed for a while before leaving.
But the way they looked at Mu Chen Zhou was very strange.
Even the invitation in Mu Chen Zhou's hand was not written by Mu Heqing.
Ying Yuexuan accompanied Zhong Manhua inside.
After a while, the automatic door opened.
Someone walked in.
It was Ying Tianlu.
He was still panting slightly. It was obvious that he had rushed over.
"Brother — —" Ying Yuexuan was very happy to see him. She waved her hand. "We are here."
Ying Tianlu, who was looking around, seemed to have heard her voice. He stopped in his tracks and walked towards her.
Ying Yuexuan hadn't seen Ying Tianlu for almost half a month. She was very excited to see him.
A smile appeared on Zhong Manhua's face. "Xiao Xuan, I told you that your big brother is just busy. He'll come over when he's done."
Ying Yuexuan's eyesight was very good. She saw the bag in Ying Tianlu's hand and was even more surprised. "Brother, how did you know that I like to eat desserts from this shop?"
"Sorry." Ying Tianlu's expression froze, but he didn't stop walking. He walked past Ying Yuexuan and came to Ying Zijin.
He handed the bag in his hand to her and looked very guilty. "Zijin, I heard from grandpa that you like to eat desserts. I specially drove to the nearby city to buy them. I bought one of every kind. See if it suits your taste."

I forgot to time it, so I am a little late.
