C9 It's Just a Broken Watch

The things that had happened recently were like a huge mountain pressing down on Tang Mu Xue's body, causing her to feel extremely tired. She didn't even know that Lu Mingyan and Tang Mu Xue had left.

It had been some time since the Lu family had become Seahold's reputable family clan. It was just that before this, Tang Mu Xue had always been on top of her, so she didn't have the chance to attend these kinds of occasions. And today was her chance to shine.

In order to become the most eye-catching existence among so many people, there had to be something that would make people's eyes shine.

She licked her lips, which had become a little dry due to the ups and downs of her emotions, and took out an exquisite box from her bag.

Tang Muxue had been married into the Lu family for many years and had borrowed a woman's jewelry more than once. Naturally, she knew that the contents of this box were extremely important to that woman.

When she opened the box and saw it was filled with an old watch, her face darkened and she began to curse.

"You actually treat this trash as a treasure, you damned bitch!"

Lu Mingyu heard the commotion behind him and subconsciously turned around to look. When he saw what the woman was holding in her hands, his face immediately darkened.

"Who let you touch this thing?"

After coldly saying that, he grabbed the woman's wrist and rudely snatched the item away.

Lu Yao sucked in a breath of cold air. Her heart was filled with anger, and her voice had become much sharper, "Isn't it just a broken watch? Why are you so nervous …"

Before she could finish her words, the man's cold eyes swept across her face like knives, scaring her to the point that her heart began to thump loudly, and she even bit her own tongue.

"You'd better pray that there's nothing wrong with this watch, or you'll move out tomorrow."

"You actually treated me like this for that woman …"

This situation made her even more upset. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the man. Seeing that his eyes didn't have the slightest hint of threatening her, she could only resentfully shudder. She didn't dare to say another word as she was afraid of angering the man.

However, a cold light quickly flashed through her lowered eyes. It was clear that she had already blamed everything that had happened to Tang Mu Xue.

As if a woman's malicious intent was detected, the sleeping Tang Mu Xue shuddered and abruptly sat up from the bed.

Ye Zichen wiped away the layer of sweat on his forehead, then placed the phone on the cabinet. Then, the phone started to vibrate.

The first half of the text message had been sent by Ye Qingqing. The first half was naturally to remind her to teach Lu Ming a lesson, while the second half was to tell her not to go to the party with the other party in case they took advantage of her again.

Seeing the concern in her friend's words for her, Tang Mu Xue's heart felt especially warm. At least, she wasn't alone right now.

"I know, thank you, Qingqing."

After replying, she got up from the bed and went to the locker room to carefully choose her dress.

Although she had rejected Lu Ming's words, it did not mean that she would not attend tonight's banquet. For such a large-scale event, even the most reputable people in Seahold would attend. Perhaps, she would be able to find someone willing to help the Tang Family.

Even though she knew that such a chance was very slim, she still had to try, because this was the only thing she could do.

"Dad, don't worry. I'll definitely think of a way to prove your innocence." Ye Zichen clenched his fist, while her eyes were filled with determination.

Everything was ready, all that was left was the invitation. Tang Mu Xue looked at herself in the mirror, took a deep breath, dialed a number she was familiar with.

After two rings, Ye Xiuyuan's deep and gentle voice came from the other side of the phone, "Mu Xue, did you suddenly call me for something?"

Facing his inquiry, Tang Mu Xue momentarily didn't know what to say. The relationship between them wasn't bad, but ever since she married Lu Ming, they had basically broken off contact.

However, her current situation made her unable to think too much into it. Opportunities never waited for people.

After taking a few deep breaths and adjusting her mood, she said slowly, "Brother Xiuyuan, I know you don't like to attend banquets, so can you give me the invitation tonight? I have something very important to do."

Hearing this, Ye Xiu felt a bit strange, but he still readily agreed, "It's useless for me to keep them anyway. If you want them, you can have them. I just happen to be done with my work today. You wait at home. I'll send them over to you."

Tang Mu Xue originally wanted to refuse, but after looking at the clock on the wall, she nodded her head in agreement. There was still an hour before the party started.

"Then I'll be troubling you, Brother Xiuyuan."

"It's fine, don't worry about it."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiuyuan closed the document in his hands, got up, and walked out.

He had guessed Tang Muxue's purpose in going to the party. Ye Xiuyuan drove very fast and rushed over in half an hour.

After handing over the invitation in his hand to her, he opened the back door of the car, "It's getting late, there's some trouble for you to take a taxi there, I'll take you there."

Since Tang Muxue and Ye Qingqing were good friends, he naturally wasn't an unreasonable person. After hesitating for a moment, he agreed.

The car sped along. When they arrived at the venue, the banquet would only be five minutes away. After hastily thanking Ye Xiu, she quickly walked into the stadium.

Seeing that she had left, Ye Xiu wasn't in a hurry to leave. He watched her figure completely disappear before driving away.

Just as they passed the street corner, they received a call from Ye Qingqing, "Bro, it's rare for a workaholic like you to not be at the company. I'll honestly tell you what you did."

Ye Xiu had always doted on his sister. He quickly told her what had happened.

"Bro, you're so sad about Mu Xue, you can't be liking her, right? If you are, then you must grasp it well. Mu Xue is a good girl, and that bastard Lu Mingbai isn't worthy of her at all."

When she mentioned that name, she couldn't help but think of her good friend's sorrowful and pained expression yesterday, and the tone of his voice even more filled with the intention of gnashing her teeth.

"Qing Qing, you mustn't say such words in front of outsiders in the future."

Closing the line, Ye Xiu looked at the rearview mirror, deep in thought. He didn't know what to think about.
