After a flash marriage, the abstinent president dotes on his wife
Chapter 122 Shen Xiaoyue's Purpose for Coming to the Birthday Party
After Mr. Zhai stepped down from the stage, he went straight to the lounge.
Mu Huaichen found Zhai Ziyi in the crowd, and walked up to him and asked about Mr. Zhai's health with concern.
"Grandpa is in good health. I haven't heard from the family doctor that grandpa has any serious health problems." Zhai Ziyi answered truthfully, but there was a hint of worry on his face.
Mu Huaichen nodded and said in a deep voice: "Then you should pay more attention to your old man. He didn't look right on the stage just now."
After hearing this, Zhai Ziyi frowned and agreed repeatedly: "Okay, I will."
Mu Huaichen turned around and left, ready to look for Xing Nian. However, he had just taken a few steps when he ran into Shen Xiaoyue.
Mu Huaichen walked straight past her as if he didn't see her.
Shen Xiaoyue shouted unwillingly: "Brother Mu, we haven't seen each other for so long. When we meet again, you won't even give me a glance?"
Mu Huaichen stopped but did not look back. He just said calmly, "Miss Shen, there seems to be nothing to talk about between us."
When Shen Xiaoyue heard this, her face froze, but soon returned to normal.
After all, she was a member of the upper class and was accustomed to such scenes.
Since the bankruptcy of Shen's company and Shen Xiaoyue's expulsion from the upper class, the former eldest daughter of the Shen family has become an ordinary person. But today, she appeared at Mr. Zhai's birthday party. Although her dress was not as extravagant as before, it was enough to attend such an occasion.
Everyone was wondering how she got in. After all, not everyone could attend Mr. Zhai’s birthday party.
Several rich ladies around were whispering.
"When I came, I saw Shen Xiaoyue getting out of the car with a man."
"Does Shen Xiaoyue have a sponsor on the list now?"
"Oh, I never thought that the former Miss Shen would fall to this point?"
"You don't know, I think the man who came with Shen Xiaoyue has an extraordinary demeanor, no less than our President Mu."
"real or fake?"
"It's true, and I know that person. He is Helan Xi, the young master of the Helan family of Country Y."
"It's him. No wonder you said he's no less than our President Mu. But how did Shen Xiaoyue hook up with such a high-quality man?"
"Who knows? Even though the Shen family is gone, Miss Shen's face is still well photographed. There must be someone who wants her face."
The voices of discussion around were not deliberately suppressed, and every word fell into Shen Xiaoyue's ears without missing a single word.
If it were the previous Shen Xiaoyue, she would definitely be furious and tear apart these gossiping women.
But now, Mu Huaichen was standing not far away, and she didn't want to lose her composure in front of him.
Therefore, Shen Xiaoyue suppressed the anger in her heart and put on a decent smile on her face.
She walked forward and said to Mu Huaichen, "Brother Mu, I am now the cousin of the Helan family, and Helan Xi is my cousin. The Helan family also plans to cooperate with the wealthy families in Kyoto. I think we will have more opportunities to meet in the future."
Mu Huaichen also didn't expect that Shen Xiaoyue was actually related to the Helan family. However, the people around him just said that Shen Xiaoyue came with Helan Xi. However, after coming in, he did not see Helan Xi. Could it be?
"Near."
Mu Huaichen ignored what Shen Xiaoyue said and went around her to find Xing Nian.
Shen Xiaoyue was just about to catch up and say a few words to Mu Huaichen, but her way was blocked by the group of gossiping women who had just been gossiping.
Those rich ladies seemed to smell some kind of opportunity. When they heard Shen Xiaoyue claiming to be the cousin of the Helan family, their faces instantly changed from sarcasm to enthusiastic smiles.
They all gathered around and started greeting Shen Xiaoyue, as if they had known each other for many years.
They eagerly asked about everything about the Helan family, their eyes revealing their desire and yearning for a higher level social circle.
Although Shen Xiaoyue looked down on the speed at which these rich ladies changed their faces and their hypocritical attitudes, she also understood that this was a normal state of affairs in the upper class.
In this circle, people often change their attitudes and behaviors for the sake of benefits.
She knew very well that as the cousin of the Helan family, these rich ladies wanted to get in touch with the Helan family through her so as to gain more cooperation opportunities for their husbands and their own companies.
But her purpose of returning to China this time is to attend Mr. Zhai’s birthday party tonight.
Although Shen no longer exists, as the cousin of the Helan family, she can still rely on the Helan family to obtain invitations to prestigious banquets.
However, only Shen Xiaoyue herself knows.
The reason why the head of the Helan family took her in was more because of the face of Old Lady Shen, and he thought Shen Xiaoyue could bring him some benefits. However, this kind of taking in was not out of true family affection or friendship, but based on interests.
Although she was given the title of Helan family's cousin, the actual benefits that title could bring were few and far between.
So he had to take advantage of this birthday party to build good relationships with these rich ladies.
Shen Xiaoyue once disdained to do things, but now she has to humble herself to deal with them in order to regain her foothold in Kyoto's upper class circles.
"Xiaoyue, is it your cousin Helan Xi who came with you today?" Mrs. Zhao asked, with a hint of curiosity and inquiry in her eyes.
"Yes, Mrs. Zhao." Shen Xiaoyue answered with a smile. She knew what Mrs. Zhao might ask next.
"Your cousin is really handsome. I wonder if he has a girlfriend?" Mrs. Zhao asked tentatively.
Shen Xiaoyue smiled slightly and replied, "I heard that my uncle seemed to have arranged a marriage for my cousin, but I have never met the other party."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao immediately had a plan in mind. She thought that in a wealthy family like theirs, even if an engagement was reached, it could be cancelled, and as long as she was not married, her daughter might have a chance to marry into the Helan family.
Several other rich ladies also saw what Mrs. Zhao was thinking. They all took Shen Xiaoyue's hands and started chatting with her like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time.
They complimented Shen Xiaoyue, asked about the situation of the Helan family, and also revealed some information and needs of their own family.
Although Shen Xiaoyue knew the intentions of these rich ladies, she did not show it.
She responded to them with a decent smile and polite answers, and also gave them a few compliments from time to time to make them feel happy.
After talking for a while, these rich ladies developed a liking for Shen Xiaoyue and invited her to join their group chat, making plans to go shopping and have afternoon tea together in the future.
Shen Xiaoyue gladly accepted the invitation.
