An entire floor of Ming Niao Clubhouse was booked for the gathering.
After Mu Chuqing reached the venue with Su Yuan, they saw all kinds of snacks and food laid out on the tables.
Mu Chuqing was speechless. She had thought the gathering would involve everyone having a meal as they sat around a table and chatted, but did not expect it in a ballroom setting.
Seeing her own casual outfit, Mu Chuqing felt a little helpless.
Mu Chuqing heard the sound of high-heels clacking as someone approached. It was a woman being led by bodyguards as she walked to the venue.
Undoubtedly, this person would be none other than Chang Chu.
While the group of people passed by her, someone suddenly bumped into Mu Chuqing. It was unclear whether the person bumping into her had done it intentionally or not.
Mu Chuqing staggered slightly before Su Yuan held her in time.
“Hey, you guys…”
“Yuan Yuan…”
Not considering if it was intentional or not, but the apparent lack of apology further angered Su Yuan as she ignored Mu Chuqing, and naturally wanted to further argue about it.
However, Mu Chuqing didn’t want to create trouble. She grabbed Su Yuan’s hand and shook her head.
Expecting better from Mu Chuqing, Su Yuan glared at her and shook her hands off, choosing to stand aside with her arms crossed above her chest instead. She watched as Chang Chu shot a disdainful glance at Mu Chuqing, scrutinizing her with much contempt before Chang Chu continued strolling into the venue with an air of arrogance around her.
Su Yuan gritted her teeth in frustration, and as she stared at Chang Chu’s back, she could not help but curse, “Slut!”
“Yuan Yuan…”
Knowing that Su Yuan was angry with her, Mu Chuqing deliberately tried to lower her voice to get on the good side of Su Yuan. She also held her hand and shook her arm in an attempt to appease her.
But how could Su Yuan really be angry at her! She gave Mu Chuqing a resigned look and sighed, “When are you going to change this habit of yours and stop tolerating this terrible behavior of these people?”
“…” Mu Chuqing did not speak, though her grip on Su Yuan’s wrist tightened involuntarily and her body turned cold.
“Chu Qing…” Su Yuan knew that her words were harsh, causing an unnatural expression to appear on her face as she looked at Mu Chuqing with worry.
But Mu Chuqing smiled at her and replied, “It’s not that I want to tolerate their terrible behavior, I just don’t want to have anything to do with them…”
“All right, let’s go in!”
Su Yuan grabbed Mu Chuqing’s hand, her heart distressed and helpless.
Melodious music sounded out in the background, as the place was shrouded in dazzling lights.
Mu Chuqing’s arrival invited many whispers, perhaps because of her inappropriate clothing or probably for some other reasons. When many people saw her, they gathered in groups of two-three and gossiped.
Regardless, Mu Chuqing pursed her lips, seemingly unbothered.
Su Yuan did not seem to mind either, as she dragged Mu Chuqing to greet their friends.
Mu Chuqing was already feeling a slight stomach ache because she had skipped her dinner.
There were lots of cream cakes on the snack table, but she did not touch them as they were not good for her stomach.
She saw a small portion of seafood and fried chicken nuggets after circling the food table.
Mu Chuqing was feeling grateful for her liking towards the fried chicken nuggets.
Using a tong, Mu Chuqing placed one on her plate and tasted it. It tasted delicious.
It was her favorite, stir-fried diced chicken with green pepper.
It seemed like the person in charge of the reunion gathering must be a good friend of hers.
Mu Chuqing continued by placing two chicken pieces on her plate. Her lips curled up with satisfaction as she felt her spirits lift.
“Chu Chu, you’re seriously making us all admire you. Since you will soon be the ‘Crown Princess’ of City Fu, don’t forget to lift us up later…”
“Yes, I cannot be more jealous. CEO Sheng’s appearance and physique are already enough to make us green with envy. This is not to mention his worth. Chu Chu, do you feel (sexually) blissful?”
The person speaking must have been someone romantically related to Chang Chu once, since he was bold enough to talk about Chang Chu’s sexual life.
“What’re you talking about!” Chang Chu turned red with embarrassment and slapped the man in a mock angry look, inviting laughter from the surrounding others.
