C10 Attend Dinner

Tang Muxue was completely unaware of what was happening outside. Right now, all of her thoughts were placed on the party.

She quickly walked into the crowd and listened to all kinds of flattery. She unconsciously frowned. The reason why she didn't like this kind of situation was because these people seemed to be friendly, but in reality, they had their own ulterior motives.

Holding a glass of red wine, she took a sip. She didn't know if it was due to the alcohol, but she felt that the uncomfortable feeling just now had dissipated quite a bit.

"Uncle Chen, are you coming to tonight's banquet as well?"

Chen Yuanshan, who was talking with the others, heard the sound coming from behind him. He subconsciously turned his head around, and when he saw who it was, his smile instantly froze.

"Hehe, isn't this Muxue? Weren't you fond of attending these kinds of gatherings in the past? Why did you suddenly come today?"

When he said these words, his heart was extremely unwilling, because he clearly knew in his heart that the other party's appearance here was definitely related to the matter of the Tang Clan. It was just that there were so many people around them, so it was impossible for him to pretend that he did not see them leave.

Tang Muxue was waiting for these words. Her eyes lit up and she spoke a lot faster, "I believe that you know about what happened in the Tang Family recently, so I hope that you can help me out. I want to see my father."

Chen Yuanshan's face turned even darker. Doing this kind of thing was not difficult for him, but the Tang Clan was just a piece of dog skin plaster. If someone wanted to stick it in, it would not be a good thing.

"Hehe, Mu Xue, you should know that I'm the President of the Hai City People's Court. If I help you, I'll be abusing my authority, so I can't do anything about it. If you really want to meet your father, you should go through the proper channels, I'll definitely do my best to help you."

How could Tang Mu Xue be willing to accept such a result? She anxiously took a step forward and grabbed the person in front of her.

"Uncle Chen, I know this will make things difficult for you, but I won't waste too much of your time. Please help me, because my father once …"

Chen Yuanshan was a smart person so how could he not know what her remaining words were. He heavily coughed, interrupting her later words.

"I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. Muxue, let's talk about this later."

As if worrying that he would be pestered further, he pulled her hand off his body, turned around, and walked into the crowd.

Seeing that familiar back hastily leaving, Tang Mu Xue's heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant. The position of her chest seemed to be embedded with ice and cold air continuously spread out in all directions, causing her to be unable to move at all.

She had thought that this Uncle Chen that her father had pulled out of the quagmire would be different from the others. He was someone who knew how to repay favors and favors, but it turned out that these people were all cold-blooded creatures.

"Dad, you shouldn't have helped them back then."

After she said this, she knew that there was no point in staying here any longer. She turned around to leave, but before she could take a step forward, someone stopped her.

"Aiyo, isn't this the Tang Clan's Eldest Miss? How could she have the face to come to a place like this? It can't be that she's thinking of finding someone to rescue your father, right?"

After saying that, she covered her mouth and laughed. The group of people behind her also started to ridicule her.

Tang Mu Xue raised her gaze and glanced at her. There was a strange expression in her eyes. Even though she recognized the person in front of her, she didn't remember having any conflicts with him.

"Miss Li, I have no enmity with you. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for bringing so many people to find trouble with me?"

Seeing that Li Yifei had completely forgotten about the matter of her rejecting her earlier, she gritted her teeth and let out a gurgling sound.

"Do you really think that you are the Tang Clan's Eldest Miss that everyone used to be envious of? Right now, you are nothing more than a stray dog." After screaming out these words, she raised her hand to give the person before her a resounding slap.

When the surrounding people heard the commotion, they all looked over, but they didn't have any plans to interfere. Their faces were full of ridicule, as if they were just watching a joke. Even her husband, Lu Mingyu, pretended not to see anything as he left.

Even though she already knew that the other party did not have her in his heart, she still felt sad when she saw this scene. She even forgot to avoid it.

Just when she thought that the slap would land on her face, a person suddenly walked out from the crowd and pulled her aside, causing her to dodge.

"Miss Tang, why are you here? Didn't we arrange to meet on the second floor to continue the script?"

Tang Mu Xue looked at Lin Jia behind her in surprise. She didn't understand why Lin Jia would help her at this time. Before her father went to prison, he did help a lot of people, but she was sure that he didn't have this "Financial Environment" editor.

However, although it was strange, she wouldn't be stupid enough to say it out loud at this moment. Therefore, she smiled apologetically at the man.

"I am truly sorry. I was just planning to go and find you, but who would've thought that Miss Li would stop me. That's why I was delayed."

"So that's how it is."

Lin Jia lightly nodded her head, her gaze calmly sweeping across Li Yifei's face, "Miss Li, please step aside."

Li Yi Fei felt that everyone's gaze was on her. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but she had no other choice. She could only grit her teeth and give the two of them a way out.

Walking out of the crowd, Tang Mu Xue stopped walking and slightly bowed towards the man: "Editor Lin, thank you so much for just now. If it wasn't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."

"There's no need to be polite, Miss Tang. I'm only following orders. If you really want to thank me, then go thank our CEO."

As Lin Jia spoke, she opened the door at her side and made a 'please' gesture.

Tang Mu Xue hesitated for a while before slowly walking in. When she raised her eyes and saw Gu Lin Shen who was sitting on the sofa, she was startled and almost subconsciously opened her mouth.

"Why are you here?"

"I've been here all this time."

After receiving such an answer, Tang Mu Xue turned her head and wanted to ask Lin Jia what was going on, but when she turned around, she only saw the tightly shut door. She had already disappeared.

It was obvious that the other party had left after bringing her here. In that case, the person in front of her was the CEO she had mentioned before.
