Li Aili raised her willow eyebrows, then staggered her gaze, directly ignored Yan Qingruo, and continued to talk and laugh with Chu Mu.

Today's Chu Mu seems to be in a very good mood, and he drank two glasses of Li Ailie's atonement wine in a row. Yan Qingruo on the side was bored with the dishes, wanting to solve the big lobster in front of her, and couldn't help laughing in her heart, she didn't know who made Li Aili almost ruined in Jiangcheng before, but she didn't expect this Li Aili to pretend to be confused, and put the account on Yan Zhixin's head, and even joined hands with Chu Mu to make Yan Zhixin's reputation ruined.

Woman, woman, this is woman.

But after thinking about it, it's actually quite good to have Li Aili, at least she doesn't have to notice Chu Mu's eyes all the time, and she is rare to be at ease.

"Ahem."

Yan Qingruo knew that on such an occasion, it seemed to be a luxury idea for her to be comfortable, Yan Zhengqing, who was beside her, saw that Li Aili had robbed Yan Qingruo's favor, and his expression immediately became unkind, he bowed his head and said to Yan Qingruo: "The Li family robbed our Yan family's business, and now you still want the women of the Li family to rob your man?" ”

Hearing Yan Zhengqing's whispers to herself, Yan Qingruo almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, what is the man who robbed her? When did Chu Mu become her man?

But she didn't seem to have room to refute, so she had to nod at Yan Zhengqing, indicating that she understood.

"Mr. Chu, come and eat shrimp."

Yan Qingruo peeled a huge lobster, dipped it in the sauce and put it in Chu Mu's bowl, Chu Mu, who was talking and laughing with the Li family's father and daughter at this time, paused, just glanced at the shrimp that Yan Qingruo put in his bowl indifferently, and after whispering thank you, he continued to chat with the Li family's father and daughter.

At this time, although everyone at the table was chatting in twos and threes, some families had business intersections, and they were chatting about business, while some families who were usually close in private talked about their parents.

This is the annual gathering of influential people in Jiangcheng, which includes both the Chu family, the Yan family, the Li family, and the Gu family, as well as some new business elites.

In the past, the Yan family, which everyone was vying to befriend, now seems to have become synonymous with a cold bench, everyone is chatting lively, only Yan Qingruo and Yan Zhengqing's father and daughter have been treated coldly, and no one seems to want to talk to them.

Such a scene seems to be an unexpected surprise for Yan Qingruo, she never wanted to be the one who is the star arching moon, she is different from Yan Zhixin, Yan Zhixin is unwilling to be lonely, and she is ambitious, but Yan Qingruo is content with a corner and just wants to live her own little life, so today's atmosphere makes her feel uneasy, unhappy, and uncomfortable.

Now, let her sit on the cold bench, just what she can't ask for.

But Yan Zhengqing couldn't stand this kind of treatment, although he knew in his heart that the Yan family was indeed defeated, and it was even difficult to turn the tide, but he still couldn't accept this fact for a while, he thought that with the relationship between his daughter and Chu Mu, everyone would think highly of him, but obviously, the truth was very different from what he imagined.

Maybe if Chu Mu really took Yan Qingruo to heart, everyone would really think highly of Yan Zhengqing, but everyone is a little expert in the shopping mall, and they have their own profound Taoism, so when everyone saw that Yan Qingruo was actually worthless in Chu Mu's eyes, it was naturally too late to mock, let alone look at it.

There is no need to meditate, Yan Qingruo can also hear the discussion of the people in the banquet.

"I don't know how thick-skinned the Yan family is, the eldest daughter can't let the second daughter go, is it that this Yan family can't live without the Chu family, hahahaha."

"Alas, don't say it, in my opinion, if the Yan family leaves the Chu family now, they really won't be able to live, don't you know that the Yan family is facing a financial loan crisis now, it is said that if the Yan family doesn't repay the loan, the Yan family will be seized."

"What? Close down? Yan's is going to close the door like this? Oh my God, it's hard to believe, no wonder Yan Zhengqing, who used to be full of spring breeze, is now full of dejection, but why did their Yan clan suddenly go out of business? ”

"It is said that Yan Zhengqing was too greedy, thinking that he was going to have a relationship with the Chu family, so he invested a lot, it is said that Yan Zhengqing invested in three projects at once, and as a result, his project with the Chu family collapsed because of the collapse of the marriage, and his other projects, one of which was originally profitable, was seized, and the other had problems in operation and has been losing money, so his capital was all trapped, and Yan's own turnover became a problem."

"Oh my God, it sounds terrible, although I don't understand your business affairs, but I rely on a woman's intuition, how do I feel that someone is deliberately manipulating Yan behind my back?"

"Hey, you're right, I think so too, you said that even if he Yan Zhengqing went to hit a ghost, he wouldn't be so unlucky, right? Someone must be manipulating him behind his back, as for who can play with the Yan family in the palm of his hand......"

Yan Qingruo listened to the conversation between a man and a woman on the other side with relish, she didn't know if Yan Zhengqing heard it, but his face was always so ugly.

However, the last words of the two reminded her that the Yan family had suffered such bad luck one after another, and she also felt strange, although she didn't care about what would happen to the Yan family in her heart, she still felt that this matter was very strange.

It's as if someone is behind everything.

But who is this person? No matter how you say it, the Yan family is also the second largest company in Jiangcheng, who has this ability? Yan Qing thought of two possibilities, one is a commercial collusion, that is, two companies or more companies and a group of people to bring down the Yan family, and then when the Yan family is desperate, the assets are annexed to achieve a business merger.

But there is another possibility, that is, a large company with superior strength, controlling the Yan family alone, and wants to destroy the Yan family, if that company is not an enterprise outside Jiangcheng, Yan Qing thinks that in the entire Jiangcheng, there is probably only the Chu family with this strength.

This thought made Yan Qingruo startled fiercely, she even raised her head and stared at Chu Mu who was sitting next to her, she remembered the inexplicable confident words that Chu Mu had said to her before, and every time she looked at her hateful eyes, she couldn't help but shudder.

Could it be that Chu Mu wanted to destroy the Yan clan in order to take revenge on her?

Or is Chu Mu trying to take advantage of this to let himself be embraced?

Or is this just a simple business act of Chu's expansion?

Yan Qingruo shook her head and shook out the threads in her mind.

First, Chu Mu should know how much he hates the Yan family, so even if he collapses the Yan family, he has no ambition for her at all.

Second, Chu Mu shouldn't go to such great lengths for himself, after all, he knew that all this was not his own willingness, if Yan Qing knew that Chu Mu had a clean soul, if he wasn't willing, he would disdain it.

Of course, even if there are so many willing women, he often dismisses them.

Suddenly, Yan Qingruo's eyes were tightly pinched by another pair of eyes, and Chu Mu, who suddenly turned his face, looked straight at the pair of eyes that were staring at him urgently.

His dark eyes made Yan Qingruo feel shocked, and then realized that he had just lost his temper, and when he was about to turn his face away, he heard Chu Mu's sarcastic business.

"Miss Yan, is there anything on my face? You look at me like that? ”

His subtext was: Why are you peeping? As a lady, how can you be so shameless?

As soon as his words came out, the originally lively banquet immediately became quiet, and everyone cast curious glances here. After all, for Yan Qingruo, who is the sister of Chu Mu's ex-fiancée, as well as Yan Qingruo, who is Chu Mu's ex-girlfriend, and later Yan Qingruo, who is Chu Mu's rumored girlfriend, the confusing relationship between her and Chu Mu has become the focus of the entire Jiangcheng high society, and even a must-talk after dinner.

The women at the banquet cast disgusted glances at Yan Qingruo, and they sniffed out Chu Mu's disgust for her in Chu Mu's expression and tone, because if a man really cared about a woman, he would never bear to let her fall into such an embarrassing situation. Chu Mu not only made Yan Qingruo fall into such embarrassment, but also the culprit who made her fall into embarrassment. Everyone can't help but wonder, how much does a man hate a woman to do this to her?

Yan Qingruo didn't know how to answer Chu Mu's words, so she could only look at Chu Mu with a red smile and a blank face, she swore that she definitely didn't provoke him today, and the words she said to him today didn't add up to more than three sentences, and she had to add the sentence just now that was only three sentences. As for yesterday, she didn't provoke him, wasn't it okay yesterday?

So what is Chu Mu doing now? Ruo's attitude made Yan Qingruo a little overwhelmed, and she didn't know what to do.

"Hmph, I don't know what to check."

I don't know where such a sour sentence came from, Yan Qingruo followed the voice and looked at it, it was Li Aili who was sitting next to Chu Mu.

She was looking at herself with a haughty face, and her blood-red mouth seemed to want to devour her, which made Yan Qingruo shudder.

It's not because I'm afraid of her, I just think that such a woman is terrible.

"Oh, isn't it just admiring handsome guys, what does it have to do with being indecent? I think Miss Yan is just admiring Mr. Chu's handsome appearance, right, Miss Yan. ”

At this time, Gu Mingyuan, who was sitting opposite, couldn't look at it, and couldn't help but open his mouth to help her out of the siege.

Gu Mingyuan's generous support made Yan Qingruo couldn't help but be moved, but his righteous words didn't seem to make things go in a better direction, and there was really a tendency to get worse.
