After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

Zhu Jin and Huo Jingcheng were stopped by Shen Muyan when they were halfway there.

"Cousin." Shen Muyan paused deliberately, "Miss Zhu."

Huo Jingcheng frowned, "She is your cousin-in-law."

Shen Muyan spread her hands and acted like a scoundrel, "But she is also Miss Zhu."

Huo Jingcheng's brows furrowed even more, and he was very unhappy with this statement.

"By the way, I wanted to ask Miss Zhu if she has time to cooperate with me in the competition." Shen Muyan said, "Last time I invited you to participate in the auction, you rejected me."

Shen Muyan pretended to be sad, "This is a cooperative competition, and my cousin can't come with you. Miss Zhu will never refuse me again. I think Miss Zhu should also hope to get the prize of the Bright Cup."

Zhu Jin took Huo Jingcheng's hand and squeezed it lightly, as if giving him strength invisibly.

"Sorry, I'm not sure whether to participate in the Brilliant Cup." Zhu Jin smiled at the official and politely, "Thank you very much for inviting me. But, I remember that this competition can be participated by one person."

Shen Muyan raised his eyebrows.

The Bright Cup can indeed be participated by a single player, but due to the difficulty of this competition, designers prefer to team up.

After all, this competition is short in time and you need to complete everything from design to production by yourself. In addition, the prizes are generous every year and there are countless participants, which increases the difficulty of winning.

Therefore, everyone hopes to find like-minded designers to complete the design and win prizes.

"Oh, I hope the designer won't reject me so quickly." Shen Muyan handed the folder she had prepared to her, "This is my previous design work. Maybe you will change your mind after reading it."

Zhu Jin had no intention of taking it.

She took half a step back calmly, "Sorry, I don't like forming a team to compete, so I won't consider it. You'd better find someone else to cooperate."

As soon as Zhu Jin finished speaking, a voice interrupted.

"Find me."

The three of them looked at the sound.

Zhu Chen and the other three were seen standing not far behind them.

It can be seen that these three people have put a lot of effort into today's banquet, and they are all dressed more luxuriously than before when attending banquets.

A blush appeared on Zhu Yuan's delicate face, and she reached for the folder in Shen Muyan's hand, "Mr. Shen, I think I can form a team with you to compete."

Shen Muyan put the folder away, "Sorry, you are..."

"I, I..." Zhu Yuan hesitated, unable to speak a complete sentence.

Zhu Jin looked at her budding expression, and recalled the conversation he overheard at Zhu's house that day. Looking at the expressions of Zhu Chen and Gao Weilan, he instantly understood the intentions of these three people.

"Hello, Mr. Shen." Gao Weilan's voice was gentle. She was wearing a dark green off-the-shoulder evening dress today, with a small silver-grey fox fur shawl on her forearm.

What a gentle and intellectual look.

"Oh." Shen Muyan smiled and nodded, "Hello, beautiful lady."

"My name is Gao Weilan, and this is my husband, Zhu Chen." Gao Weilan introduced with a smile, "The person who answered you just now is my daughter, Zhu Yuan."

Shen Muyan waved to the other two people, "Hello."

Zhu Jin didn't want to have too much entanglement with the three Zhu family members, and just wanted to find an excuse to leave.

Gao Weilan didn't intend to let her go.

"I just saw that Mr. Shen seemed to be chatting with Jin Jin." Gao Weilan said with a smile, "By the way, Jin Jin is my husband's daughter and Yuanyuan's sister."

Shen Muyan became interested instantly.

"Oh? So, you are relatives of the designer Zhu?"

Zhu Yuan took advantage of the situation and said, "Yes, she is my sister."

"Then can you help me persuade her?" Shen Muyan said, "I want to form a team with her to participate in the competition."

The smile on Zhu Yuan's face was stiff.

The words he was about to say were blocked in his mouth again.

There seemed to be a fire of jealousy ignited in his heart.

"Brother Shen, if you want to find someone to cooperate with, I am also a jewelry designer and I can design with you." Zhu Yuan softened her voice and spoke in a deliberately coy voice.

Shen Muyan's words were somewhat apologetic, "I'm sorry. We may not be suitable. I hope to work with Designer Zhu on this design."

Zhu Yuan's artificial smile was so stiff that it was difficult to move the corners of her mouth.

The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat again.

She glared at Zhu Jin fiercely.

Zhu Jin rolled his eyes speechlessly in his heart.

Zhu Yuan, a fledgling designer, failed to come up with a passable work.

Why does she think that people will choose her to cooperate, based on her big face.

"We still have something to do, let's take the first step." Huo Jingcheng said.

His voice didn't have the hoarseness caused by the smoke before, but instead had a bit more coldness.

Several other people all set their sights on him, and no one dared to stop him.

When Zhu Jintui left, Shen Muyan tried to follow him, but unfortunately he was entangled by the other three Zhu family members and could not break away for a while.

After getting away from those people, Zhu Jin was visibly relieved.

She didn't notice that her and Huo Jingcheng's hands were holding tightly and didn't let go all the way.

The man's eyes fell on his clenched hands and he made no sound to remind him.

Instead, he waited for Zhu Jin to come to his senses before taking his hand out of the man's hand.

Zhu Jin and Huo Jingcheng were in a remote corner, and others would not notice them for a while.

Zhu Jin frowned as he looked at Zhu Yuan's movements of pressing against Shen Muyan's body from time to time.

She knew that the Zhu family wanted to use Zhu Yuan to gain connections with the Shen family.

But such shameless clinging behavior really opened her eyes.

Zhu Chen just had the words "selling daughter" written on his face.

Zhu Jin moved her eyes away, not wanting to continue looking, for fear that she would spit it out.

"If nothing happens, why don't we leave after a while?" Zhu Jin said.

Huo Jingcheng gently patted her hand on the handle of the wheelchair and said, "Wait a minute, the show hasn't started yet."

Zhu Jin frowned, full of confusion.

Seeing the rare expression of interest on Huo Jingcheng's face, Zhu Jin could only suppress his desire to leave.

"Jinjin." A familiar female voice came from behind.

Zhu Jin looked back and saw Mrs. Song, wearing a moon-white cheongsam, walking towards her with a smile.

What she wears around her neck is the necklace Zhu Jin designed for her before.

"As expected, I can meet you here." Mrs. Song held her hand, "I have a business I want to talk to you about, but I just don't know if you are free to take my order."

Zhu Jin smiled and agreed, "If it were you, no matter how busy I am, I would still make time to pick you up."

Mrs. Song was amused by her words.

"When did you learn to make people happy?" Mrs. Song tapped the tip of her nose.

"I mean what I said sincerely."

Zhu Jin really likes Mrs. Song.

Although her tone was cold when we first met, she didn't want to have too much interaction with him.

But after getting along with her, she realized that Mrs. Song was just a paranoid and serious old man.

Her love for her daughter is the reason why Zhu Jin's affection for her keeps rising.

If his mother was still alive, she would definitely love him as much as Mrs. Song loved her daughter.
