Chapter 243: The Mysterious and Enchanting Man

Jiang Baobao shook her head with a faint smile at these words, letting Cai Xiaotang pull her along as they walked over.

Before they even reached the entrance, she felt Lu Qing'er already looking their way.

Jiang Baobao met Lu Qing'er's gaze, staring back at her calmly and unhurriedly.

Lu Qing'er stared at Jiang Baobao for a few seconds, a dark glint suddenly flashing in the depths of her eyes as her fists clenched tightly.

She had already found out that Li Beijue would be attending today, and what's more... she just knew he would bring that cheap woman, Jiang Baobao, along!

Thinking this, Lu Qing'er lowered her eyes and swept a glance at her own bag.

Thinking of what was inside the bag, she narrowed her eyes, a look of excitement suddenly flashing in their depths.

Heh... it seems her plan can be set in motion...

Today, she would make everyone here see Jiang Baobao making a complete fool of herself!

A cold sneer curled the corners of Lu Qing'er's lips, and her gaze slowly landed on Cai Xiaotang, instantly filling with disdain.

That bitch Cai Xiaotang actually came too!

By what right could she come?

Is she worthy of a place like this?

Lu Qing'er cursed both of them thoroughly in her heart.

Cai Xiaotang couldn't be bothered to engage, pulling Jiang Baobao and intending to ignore the group and walk straight into the villa.

Immediately, she heard Xia Huiya and Lu Guohui, who hadn't noticed them yet, exchanging pleasantries with a middle-aged man in front of them: "Many thanks to President Wang for your patronage today; if not for you, how could we have come to attend the Mu Family banquet..."

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow upon hearing this, instantly understanding what was going on.

No wonder the Lu Family was actually able to come here...

So they had latched onto this so-called President Wang and were brought in...

A trace of disdain flashed in Jiang Baobao's eyes, and just as she was thinking this, she felt her hand being gently squeezed by Cai Xiaotang.

Jiang Baobao turned her head subconsciously, and the two exchanged a knowing look.

The next second, they heard Lu Qing'er suddenly speak up: "Jiang Baobao, do you know what kind of place this is? How could you bring just anyone here?"

Her words successfully attracted the attention of Lu Guohui and Xia Huiya.

The two fell silent instantly, looking in Jiang Baobao's direction in unison, both stunned for a moment.

Cai Xiaotang let out a cold laugh, and both she and Jiang Baobao looked at Lu Qing'er with expressionless faces.

"Excuse me, I don't know what kind of person you think I am? Why can't I come here?" Cai Xiaotang asked coldly in return.

Jiang Baobao also deliberately followed up: "That's right, I'd like to hear it too. What's wrong with Xiao Tang? Why can't she come here?"

Seeing them "take the bait," Lu Qing'er couldn't help but let a look of triumph flash in her eyes, and she replied with a disdainful tone: "Do I even need to say it? This isn't a place just anyone can come to. What if someone doesn't follow the rules and ruins everyone's mood?"

She looked pointedly at Cai Xiaotang, and while speaking, she didn't forget to deliberately ask the middle-aged man beside her: "Don't you agree, President Wang? This is a place for well-bred young ladies of noble families; it really isn't an occasion for ordinary people..."

"That's right." President Wang nodded, his eyes lecherously curling at the corners of his mouth as he swept his gaze over Lu Qing'er's chest before looking toward Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang.

Seeing the appearance and attire of the two, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

He then feigned a friendly demeanor and spoke: "This young lady, do you know Qing'er? I wonder which family you are from? I don't seem to have seen you before..."

As he spoke, he looked at Cai Xiaotang and said slowly: "This young lady clearly comes from an ordinary background. It's not impossible to want to integrate into our circle; if you don't mind, why not stay by my side today? I can introduce some people for you to meet."

His tone was somewhat arrogant, as if he were bestowing a great favor upon Cai Xiaotang.

His gaze also swept over Cai Xiaotang without any attempt at concealment, almost writing the word "lecher" on his face.

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang let out a cold snort, the insults almost reaching her lips instantly!

But she forced herself to hold them back.

Introduce some people for her to meet?

This old man might as well just say he wants to hit on her!

She couldn't even look twice at someone with Li Xiao's looks, so would she look at him?

And this "circle"...

Do people like them think they are a cut above ordinary people?

She had no interest in this kind of decadent, debauched circle!

Cai Xiaotang was silent for a few seconds, having cursed him thoroughly in her heart, and now she had completely lost the desire to go inside.

"Sorry, not interested."

She dropped the cold words and pulled Jiang Baobao, intending to leave.

"Xiao Tang?"

Jiang Baobao was startled by her and asked subconsciously in confusion.

Immediately, she heard Cai Xiaotang mutter in a low voice: "So annoying, I didn't want to come in the first place, and then I run into this idiot..."

Seeing the two about to leave, Lu Qing'er's mouth curled up instantly, but the smile only lasted for a moment before it stiffened.

Isn't that bitch Cai Xiaotang usually quite talkative?

Why is she just leaving like this today?

If she takes Jiang Baobao away, what will happen to her plan?

If she had known, she wouldn't have...

A flash of annoyance crossed Lu Qing'er's face, and just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard—

"Xiao Tang."

A man's crisp, cold voice came from beside them.

Cai Xiaotang's footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

Jiang Baobao also stopped in her tracks accordingly.

She turned her head subconsciously and saw the man standing at the entrance, a look of amazement unable to help but flash in the depths of her eyes.

The man was seen in a crisp black suit, walking directly toward the two of them.

His brows were slightly furrowed, his thin lips pressed tightly together, and his peach-blossom eyes—which were extremely similar to those of Cai Xiaotang—were slightly upturned at the corners, with a hint of dissatisfaction mixed into his gaze; a red mole beneath his right eyelid added a touch of soul-stirring, enchanting temperament to his entire person.

Is this Xiao Tang's brother?

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained her senses and hurriedly tugged at Cai Xiaotang's sleeve.

Only then did Cai Xiaotang finally turn around reluctantly, rolling her eyes at the sky in speechlessness.

"Why didn't you go in when you arrived? How did you promise me earlier, and now you want to go back on your word at the last minute?" Mu Liusu looked at the person before him and asked with a smile.

Behind him, that President Wang and the members of the Lu Family all revealed expressions of confusion.

What is Cai Xiaotang's status?

Why is Mu Liusu's attitude toward her so intimate?

Just as the few of them were thinking this, the next second they felt Cai Xiaotang's gaze shift toward them.

As Lu Qing'er met the gazes of Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang, a sense of ominous foreboding suddenly arose in her heart.

Immediately after, they heard Cai Xiaotang say unhurriedly: "I had intended to go in, but didn't someone say that I am merely a commoner and would spoil everyone's mood by being here? That President Wang even wanted to kindly bring me into your upper-class social circle, but I'm not interested, so I just left."

Cai Xiaotang shrugged indifferently, deliberately drawing out the pronunciation of the words "upper-class social circle," and the next second, she indeed saw Mu Liusu's expression change slightly.
