“It’s no wonder. She’s a country bumpkin from the countryside after all. Her horizons are just limited. She gave up on a man who’s so popular like Young Master Huo for an old man. Could it be that she wants to endure and spend a few years with the old man so that she could inherit his family business?”
When these words were spoken, the surrounding people roared with laughter.
Although Huo Xuan didn’t understand what had happened in the main hall in the few minutes that he had left, he had roughly analyzed the matter from their conversation just now.
How dare someone cause trouble at the Huo family’s engagement banquet! She was obviously not giving the Huo family face and wanted to use the banquet to sow discord between Mo Zhu and the Huo family.
Huo Xuan walked through the crowd with a dark expression. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Xu Huan.
Before he could reach the middle of the banquet hall, Huo Tao and Chen Man were already standing where they had introduced Mo Zhu to everyone.
Clearing his throat, Huo Tao didn’t even take the microphone. He coldly looked at everyone in the banquet hall and said angrily, “Someone deliberately made a scene at the Huo family’s banquet tonight. The Huo family won’t stop until we find out who the mastermind is. Now, please cooperate.”
Just as he finished speaking, dozens of Huo family bodyguards in black closed the banquet hall’s door tightly. Mo Jiu personally brought people to block the door.
At this moment, his expression was not any better. It was clear that someone wanted to play tricks on Mo Zhu. Having interacted with the girl frequently these few days, the few of them had long treated Mo Zhu as one of their own.
Mo Jiu’s eyes darkened and his back straightened. No matter what, in order to clear Mo Zhu’s name, they had to find out the truth tonight.
Just as Mo Zhu walked out of the logistics office, she saw Jiang Yan walk towards the equipment table angrily.
Realizing that the man might want to clarify about this matter personally, she hurriedly walked two steps to stop Jiang Yan.
“Uncle Jiang, I’ll settle this matter myself.” Mo Zhu gently pulled Jiang Yan from behind and explained lightly.
Jiang Yan turned around to look at the person who had come. He saw that Mo Zhu was carrying a laptop and her expression was relaxed. He thought for a moment and nodded.
That’s right, the photos that were released on the big screen just now were obviously taken by Fang Ran a few days ago of Mo Zhu and Jiang Yan in Huaxing Building.
Although the two of them had only sat together in the cafe, the angle at which Fang Ran took the photo was very cunning. They had originally sat on opposite seats, but Fang Ran had closed the distance between them by the way she had taken the photo. She had done it on purpose to make it seem like the two of them were behaving really intimately. This thus led to everyone discussing it without looking carefully.
She walked around Jiang Yan and headed straight for the most lively center in the main hall. When Mo Zhu passed by Huo Xuan, she gave the man a look telling him not to be worried. Then, she went to her Class Eight classmates, who were all filled with indignation and eagerness to investigate the matter personally and Mo Zhu handed the computer in her arms to Jiang Xun.
“Find the equipment officer and connect this computer to the big screen. I’ve placed a folder on the desktop screen. Listen to my instructions later and open it.”
Nodding, Jiang Xun took the computer from Mo Zhu and walked over to the equipment table quickly and started talking to the staff.
Under the unfriendly gazes of the surrounding people, Mo Zhu slowly walked to Fang Ran’s side and glanced coldly at Qin Ya and Matriarch Fang standing at the side. She smiled and said, “Ms. Fang, in your opinion, which old man will I secretly meet in private not long after I arrive in Cloud City?”
Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s provocative words, Qin Ya took a step forward and stood in front of Fang Ran. She looked at Mo Zhu in disappointment, “Mo Zhu, you have disappointed me. We have given you such a good marriage, letting you marry into the Huo family. How can you be so inconsiderate? Not only did you ruin the Huo family’s reputation, I’m afraid the Fang family will be implicated by you!”
After being reprimanded by Qin Ya suddenly, an indescribable sadness surged into Mo Zhu’s heart. Was this the mother who had brought her into this world after carrying her for ten months? Why did she believe that she had done something wrong without listening to her explanation?
As if she also wanted to see Mo Zhu make a fool of herself, Fang Ran gently raised her hand and pushed Qin Ya away. She walked elegantly to Mo Zhu and said, “Sister, why are you saying this? I never knew who you had an unclear relationship with.”
She again looked like a fragile flower. Mo Zhu sneered in her heart. In that case, don’t blame her for not showing mercy.
She raised her hand and patted Fang Ran’s shoulder. For the first time, Mo Zhu smiled at the girl. Although the meaning behind it made Fang Ran feel a chill, she was already certain that Mo Zhu had no chance of turning the tables at this point.
“Ms. Fang, it’s fine if you don’t know. I don’t mind giving you a good lesson on the philosophy of life here.”
Fang Ran thought that Mo Zhu was just spouting nonsense and was unwilling to argue with her. “Sister, I don’t really understand what you mean, but in my opinion, you should learn how to do appropriate things. As Young Master Huo’s fiancée, you had actually done such a thing…”
Fang Ran did not finish her sentence, leaving a rich imagination for the surrounding people who were eavesdropping with their ears perked up.
