Chapter 244: The Face Has Been Slapped Swollen

Mu Liusu turned around, her gaze sweeping over President Wang and the Lu family.

She then spoke up: "Excuse me, Xiao Tang is my own younger sister, and she is the legitimate eldest daughter of our Mu Family. I would like to ask, who was it just now that said she didn't have the qualifications to go in?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Qing'er froze in place, looking at Cai Xiaotang with an expression of disbelief...

Cai Xiaotang was actually a member of the Mu Family?

How could this be possible!

She... she was nothing more than a wild girl without any backing; how could she suddenly become the eldest daughter of the Mu Family!

Perhaps because her shocked expression was far too obvious, Mu Liusu's gaze locked onto her immediately.

"This young lady, were those words spoken by you? I wonder what your status is? You look quite unfamiliar to me; I've never seen you before."

Mu Liusu spoke indifferently, her detached tone carrying a hint of disdain, causing the faces of the three members of the Lu family to burn instantly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Guohui hurriedly spoke: "President Mu, hello, I am Lu Guohui of Qinghui Electronics, and these two are my wife and daughter..."

"Qinghui Electronics?" Mu Liusu raised her eyebrows slightly, directly ignoring the hand Lu Guohui had extended toward her, and after pretending to ponder for two seconds, she spoke with a half-smile: "I don't seem to have heard of any large electronics company by that name. May I ask what business you have coming to the Mu Family?"

Mu Liusu asked this question very impolitely, making it clear that she intended to return the frustration Cai Xiaotang had suffered from being looked down upon earlier.

Lu Qing'er suddenly clenched her fists tightly, a flash of unwillingness crossing her eyes, yet she dared not say anything.

Xia Huiya also came back to her senses and hurriedly spoke: "President Mu, it's all a misunderstanding. Our Qing'er didn't have any malicious intent. We were only fortunate enough to come here today because we were with President Wang..."

Xia Huiya dragged President Wang, who had been standing to the side without saying a word for a long time, into the mess.

President Wang was then forced to speak: "Yes, President Mu, President Lu was brought by me. It was just a misunderstanding earlier. I ask that the eldest daughter of the Mu Family please calm your anger and not hold it against us common folk..."

President Wang looked at Cai Xiaotang with much more respect than before, though in his heart, he had already been rolling his eyes in frustration.

Had he known the Lu family could cause so much trouble, he would never have brought them to attend the Mu Family's banquet!

The atmosphere was somewhat stiff for a moment.

Cai Xiaotang had no intention of making peace with the other party, standing in place with a cold face the entire time.

Jiang Baobao's eyes flickered for an instant, and she suddenly spoke: "Although it is said to be a misunderstanding, there should at least be an apology, right? After all, the words have already been spoken. Since Miss Lu Qing'er is so particular about the rules of the circle, then according to Xiao Tang's status, shouldn't she address her as Miss Mu, and then bow to apologize?"

As soon as Jiang Baobao finished speaking, she instantly felt Lu Qing'er looking at her with a sharp expression!

Even Mu Liusu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, taking a few extra looks at Jiang Baobao, feeling somewhat amused in her heart.

According to Xiao Tang's personality, this was indeed a way to let her vent her anger.

But if these words had come from her own mouth, it would have been somewhat inappropriate; coming from someone else, however, it was different.

This friend of Xiao Tang's was indeed a clever person.

If looks could kill, Jiang Baobao would likely have died a thousand and eight hundred times over standing right there.

Jiang Baobao, however, curled her lips indifferently and looked straight back without any panic.

Lu Qing'er's fists were clenched tight, and her lips were pressed into a straight line.

Make her apologize to Cai Xiaotang?

And bow?

On what grounds!

Just because she had good luck and was born into the Mu Family!

Lu Qing'er's face was full of unwillingness, and the next second, she heard Lu Guohui reprimanding from the side: "What are you hesitating for! Hurry up and apologize to Miss Mu!"

Xia Huiya also urged from the side: "Qing'er, it was a misunderstanding earlier. You aren't a child anymore; if you said the wrong thing, you should apologize..."

Xia Huiya put on a very reasonable front, and although there was some displeasure in her eyes, she still gently pinched Lu Qing'er's hand, signaling her to lower her head.

Lu Qing'er was silent for two seconds, then finally bent over abruptly and bowed to Cai Xiaotang.

She also said quickly: "Miss Mu, I'm sorry!"

Cai Xiaotang gave a cold snort; she felt disgusted just looking at the person in front of her for one second longer, but she felt much better inside, and only then did she hook her arm back into Jiang Baobao's.

"Let's go."

She couldn't be bothered to respond to Lu Qing'er's apology and walked directly toward the direction of the villa's main entrance, not even looking at those few people again.

As soon as Cai Xiaotang pulled Jiang Baobao inside, she scanned the room quickly and found a quiet corner.

"Xiao Tang, still angry?" Jiang Baobao handed a glass of fruit juice, stuffing it into Cai Xiaotang's hand, and asked with amusement.

Cai Xiaotang took the glass casually and said unhappily: "It doesn't count as anger; it's just that I feel annoyed seeing those few people. They simply dirtied my eyes! I should have let my brother kick them all out just now!"

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she angrily gulped down a large mouthful of juice.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly urged: "The Mu Family is hosting today; your brother must have his own considerations. Besides, didn't he already vent your anger for you just now? I think he is still quite good to you..."

"I guess so..." Cai Xiaotang swirled her glass, her expression thoughtful.

Just as she was thinking, she saw out of the corner of her eye that Mu Liusu was already walking toward them.

"Xiao Tang." Mu Liusu called out to Cai Xiaotang, then said in a low voice: "Dad is resting upstairs. Do you want to go up and see him?"

"No." Cai Xiaotang refused without a second thought, then asked subconsciously: "What's wrong with him again?"

"It's his old problem with headaches. Mom is up there taking care of him. If you don't want to go, just stay here and play for a while longer today. Dad probably won't come downstairs again. Everything will be handled by me; you don't need to be nervous."

"Oh, I'll see how I feel." Cai Xiaotang nodded, being relatively cooperative with Mu Liusu.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the Lu family standing not far away chatting with someone, and she immediately rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Immediately after, she heard Mu Liusu ask: "This young lady beside you... is your friend?"

Cai Xiaotang came back to her senses, looked at Jiang Baobao, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, she is my best friend, Jiang Baobao, and also LISA from the Star Team."

"So it is Miss LISA, I've long heard of your name. The e-sports industry has been developing very well in the last two years, and I happen to have the intention to make some investments, and I am just in the process of learning about the major teams. If there is an opportunity, we can have a chat." Mu Liusu nodded in sudden realization and extended her hand toward Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao also extended her hand very amicably, shook hands with the other party, and smiled politely.

The conversation between the two was heard in its entirety by Lu Qing'er not far away.

Immediately, a nameless fire rose in her chest again.

Isn't Jiang Baobao just someone who plays games? What's so great about that?

How does Mu Liusu know her too?

Hmph, she managed to reach this point, who knows how many men she slept with during those years abroad to trade for it!
