At this time, Chu Mu seemed to be able to guess her inner thoughts, and immediately leaned down and said to Yan Qingruo: "Ruoruo, didn't I tell you that in this world, except for what I thought, no one else can bully you?" ”

Yan Qingruo thought in surprise that he really hadn't told Yan Qingruo this, but Yan Qingruo clearly remembered that there was a voice in the depths of his memory that once said to her very firmly: Ruoruo, I won't let anyone bully you.

Now it seems that this statement has changed, and it has become that he allowed himself to bully her.

Therefore, Yan Qingruo's heart can be described as mixed.

"Wouldn't I thank you, then?"

Yan Qingruo thought that if it weren't for Chu Mu's cynicism towards her just now, I'm afraid she wouldn't have suffered so many people's eyes, he, the culprit, is now here to be a good person, she didn't have any Stockholm syndrome, and she wouldn't be bought by a piece of candy he gave at will.

"Ruoruo, then you can see the outside, and between you and me, what kind of thanks?"

Chu Mu spread her cheeks and the back of her ears with an aggressive aura, and Yan Qingruo moved her body out a little, trying to escape his strong aggressive approach.

"Brother Chu, come out for a while, I have something I want to discuss with you."

At this time, Li Aili poked Chu Mu's shoulder and motioned for him to walk to the sofa on the side.

Yan Qingruo took a look around, this private room is extraordinarily luxurious, it is just for eating, but under the barrier of many ancient styles, there are other more private spaces, but such a private space composition is not simply covered by them, but a more tasteful large screen.

Chu Mu and Li Aili walked into one of the screens, and after a while, Li Aili's father also followed.

Originally, when Li Aili and Chu Mu went in, Yan Zhengqing's face was not so embarrassed, but as soon as Li Jianhao entered, Yan Zhengqing began to fidget.

Although Yan Qingruo is not in the shopping mall, she can see from this dinner alone that the biggest competitor of the Yan family is actually the Li family, and Chu Mu's attitude towards the two families is even more ambiguous, so Yan Zhengqing was afraid of being taken first by the Li family at this time, and he was already restless and anxious.

Just now, because of the change in Chu Mu's attitude towards Yan Qingruo, everyone present did not dare to sneer at the two of them again, especially Yan Qingruo, they were all speculating about the true relationship between Chu Mu and Yan Qingruo, so they didn't dare to say anything dissatisfied for a while.

But just because they don't say it doesn't mean they won't say it secretly.

"Alas, Mrs. Li, I heard that your family is going to cooperate with the Chu family on the development project of Clear Water Bay?" A woman asked curiously, and her attitude towards Mrs. Li was even more gentle, with a flattering face.

Yan Qingruo thought, she smiled so exaggeratedly, was she really not afraid of putting on makeup and laughing?

"Alas, this matter has not been completely decided, so it depends on what Mr. Chu means." Mrs. Li's eyes looked in the direction of Li Jianhao and Chu Mu, and said with a smile in her eyes.

Even if he said it very low-key, he couldn't hide the smugness in his eyes.

"You are so blessed, you still have the opportunity to cooperate with the Chu family, like us, you can't even touch the edge, alas, the people of the Chu family are too cautious in doing things, and rarely cooperate with outsiders, but it is also magical, but any enterprise that has the opportunity to cooperate with the Chu family will make a lot of money in the end."

The other wife was already full of jealousy, even if their family was also a famous family in Jiangcheng, but for the Chu family, they could only look forward to it.

Now that the Li family is going to cooperate with the Chu family, it has been rumored all over the city, so there is no woman here who is more enviable than Mrs. Li and her daughter.

"Yes, Mrs. Li, not only is she beautiful, but the daughter she gave birth to is also as beautiful as a fairy, Mrs. Li is really blessed."

At this time, the sound of Mrs. Li's sycophants came and went, making Yan Zhengqing sigh again and again in his seat.

Yan Qingruo just wanted to eat her own dinner with her head down at this time, after all, there were not many opportunities to encounter such a big meal.

"Where, your Wei family's children are not bad, I remember your niece, didn't she go to Switzerland to study for a doctorate in medicine, and now she is working as an attending physician in the Swiss Royal Hospital!" Mrs. Li then complimented Mrs. Wei, who had just complimented her.

This remark made Yan Qingruo immediately startled, the Wei family? Could it be Wei Linnan's family?

Yan Qingruo only looked up at the woman sitting on the side of the table at this time, the woman looked a little older, but she was very well maintained.

Although she only looks like she is in her thirties, Yan Qingruo thinks that she is at least in her forties, after all, even if there are no wrinkles on her face, a person's charm cannot hide her age.

This woman is wearing a black cheongsam and combing the old-fashioned hairstyle of a Shanghai woman in the eighties, and she looks quite cultivated.

As far as Yan Qingruo knows, Wei Linnan's family is a well-known scholarly family in Jiangcheng, and most of the people in the family are elites in the industry, with many doctors, professors, and scientists, and very few people are engaged in business.

So she never expected that at today's banquet, there would be people from the Wei family, even if it was the Wei family, it would be difficult for Yan Qingruo to connect them with Wei Linnan.

Just when I thought I was thinking too much, I heard Mrs. Wei, who had just been praised by Mrs. Li, smile and say: "Alas, Lin Nan is indeed very capable, she is already a doctor of medicine in her twenties, and she has entered such a high-end hospital, it is really the glory of our Wei family." ”

"Snap"

The spoon that Yan Qingruo was holding to drink soup in her hand suddenly fell into the bowl, although it was only a short distance from her mouth into the bowl, but because everyone's eyes were casually paying attention to her and paying attention to her every move, everyone was shocked.

Yan Qingruo raised her head, politely asked everyone, but most of them had gloating eyes, and then nodded her head one by one, expressing her apologies. When she shifted her gaze to Mrs. Wei, she stopped for a moment, and then looked at the man in her fifties who was still in good spirits.

That man was different from the other middle-aged men here, he was the only man other than Chu Mu and Gu Mingyuan who didn't have a beer belly, considering that he was twice as old as Chu Mu and Gu Mingyuan, Yan Qingruo expressed great admiration for his figure. The man looked unusually thin, and his deep facial features made people think that he might be a professor rather than a so-called businessman.

The man in front of him should be Mrs. Wei's husband, Mr. Wei, this Mr. Wei's appearance is indeed a bit like Wei Linnan, Wei Linnan's tall and straight nose bridge, and those small but extraordinarily deep eyes.

Although Wei Linnan is a woman, she usually likes to dress up like a man, and her handsome and neat short hair with her ears makes her look like a living man.

Thinking of how many women she was fascinated by when she was in high school, even because she had too good a relationship with herself, Chu Mu often gritted her teeth with jealousy.

Now, if Yan Qing knows, it turns out that Wei Linnan can give birth to this pair of skins, and he really has to thank their family for their excellent genes.

"Miss Yan, are you okay?"

At this time, a woman's voice sounded, Yan Qingruo came back to her senses, turned to look at the person who asked her, and saw that it was a young girl, this woman, Yan Qingruo estimated that she was only about thirty years old at most, although there was an obvious accident written on her face.

"It's okay, thank you."

Yan Qingruo said with a smile, her eyes full of vigilance. Her instincts told her that this woman's hooked nose and triangular eyes showed that she was not a good person.

"Where, I often hear my family Rou'er mention Miss Yan on weekdays, and when I see it today, Miss Yan is really extraordinary. Hee-hee" After speaking, the woman just now covered her mouth and laughed.

Yan Qingruo was given goosebumps by her laughter, but Rou'er? Which Rouer? She didn't know any Rou'er at all, but Yan Qingruo had been staring at the woman closely, as if she wanted to see through her, if she didn't answer herself, it seemed that she wouldn't give up, so Yan Qingruo lowered herself and said a little uncomfortably: "I don't know what you said about Rou'er......"

"Rou'er, Miss Yan, you are really a noble person, our Rou'er is Xiao Rou'er." The woman said with an exaggerated smile, and even felt that it was an incredible thing for Yan Qing not to know Xiao Rou'er.

Although Yan Qingruo knows who Xiao Rou'er is, isn't it Yan Zhixin's 10,000-year-old follower? I offended Li Aili because I did something wrong before, so I guess I don't dare to come now.

But Yan Qingruo didn't think she knew her, and when she was about to deny it, she heard the woman add: "Our family Rou'er often mentions Miss Yan, and she also told me that she has seen you several times before, and told me that if I meet you in the future, I must say hello to you on her behalf." ”

Yan Qingruo's eyes shifted from the face that was smiling extremely hypocritically, but saw that Mrs. Li's face became extremely ugly because she heard the name Xiao Rou'er, and the people sitting there were all characters who could observe words and feelings, although the major families usually inevitably have some contradictions and frictions, but at the annual gathering, everyone will deliberately avoid such friction and cover up the contradictions invisibly.

But this woman is Xiao Rou'er, and it is impossible not to see the ugly face of Mrs. Li beside her who has penetrated the ground in black, Yan Qing thinks that this woman must not be so simple.

Before, Miss Li Aili of the Li family was spread throughout Jiangcheng because of the chaos of the nightclub, although the Li family later suppressed this matter by their own means, but it does not mean that everyone understands the twists and turns.
