Chapter 245: Might As Well Marry Mu Liusu

Lu Qing'er kept using her peripheral vision to size up the direction of Jiang Baobao, trying hard to hear clearly what the few of them were chatting about.

Mu Liusu, however, did not say much; she simply exchanged a polite word or two with Jiang Baobao before turning to chat with others.

Only then did Cai Xiaotang let out a fierce sigh of relief. Looking at Mu Liusu's back, she said with relief, "It's a good thing that old man couldn't come to attend today... otherwise, he definitely would have made a big scene again, telling everyone everywhere that I'm his daughter, and then introducing me to people I have absolutely no desire to know. Look at my brother; he would never be like that!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao shook her head with a hint of amusement and patted Cai Xiaotang on the shoulder to comfort her, though she found it difficult to comment too much.

The two chatted for a few more sentences when they suddenly heard a commotion seemingly coming from the direction of the entrance.

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang instinctively looked over and saw at a glance that Li Beijue was walking in from outside the door.

But no sooner had he stepped into the entrance than quite a few people immediately walked up to meet him, holding wine glasses.

Cai Xiaotang immediately let out a cold, disdainful snort: "Tsk, why did he come too? Look at the faces of those people rushing up to meet him; it's just so boring..."

Just as she was thinking this, she saw Mu Liusu also walking toward Li Beijue's direction. The two lightly clinked the wine glasses in their hands and chatted casually about something.

"They actually know each other?" Cai Xiaotang could not help but look somewhat surprised.

Jiang Baobao, however, was not surprised at all and said calmly, "What's so strange about that? Given the status of the two of them, it would be abnormal if they didn't know each other."

Cai Xiaotang nodded in complete agreement, stared at the two for a few seconds, and then suddenly thought of something. She smiled and said, "Looking at it this way, my brother is simply much more pleasing to the eye than that scumbag! He looks better than him, too! And his physique is better than his!"

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she looked at Jiang Baobao with glowing eyes and teased, "Sister! What do you think of my brother? As far as I know, he hasn't dated anyone for so many years! Why don't you consider it? It could be considered 'being near the water to enjoy the moonlight first'... If the two of you really have a chance, you'll be my sister-in-law in the future!"

"Huh?" Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, unable to process it for a while.

Once she finally reacted to what the person in front of her was saying, she found herself between laughter and tears.

"What kind of joke is that? How could it be possible between your brother and me?" Jiang Baobao refused without even thinking: "It's not like you don't know that my heart is only on work right now. As for things like dating, leave that to young girls like you! Otherwise, should I play matchmaker for you and Li Xiao? Isn't he very interested in you?"

"You dare to mention that old man!" Cai Xiaotang was instantly poked in a sore spot and deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied as she glared at Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao could not help but burst out laughing instantly.

The two chatted and laughed, their moods much more relaxed than when they had first entered the door.

Among them, a few people recognized Jiang Baobao and took the initiative to come over and exchange a few words about matters in the esports circle.

Left with no choice, Jiang Baobao had to socialize for a bit before pulling Cai Xiaotang away to find a quiet place again.

But before they could even sit down, she saw out of the corner of her eye that Lu Guohui was leading Xia Huiya and Lu Qing'er toward her direction!

"Tsk... what are they here for again?" Cai Xiaotang muttered impatiently in a low voice.

No sooner had the words fallen than the group was already standing before them.

Lu Guohui's gaze swept over Jiang Baobao's well-proportioned curves before he put on a kind expression and said, "Baobao, I heard just now that many people were looking for you to chat about that game Team. Can you tell your uncle about the current development of your team?"

Lu Guohui looked at Jiang Baobao with a measuring gaze, his eyes thoughtful.

The last time this girl returned home, he had discovered that she had become exceptionally confident...

Although he heard she was the boss of some Team, how impressive could a group of people playing games really be?

What exactly were her trump cards?

Did the Lu Family really need to be wary of her existence?

Lu Guohui's inner abacus was clicking loudly as he waited for Jiang Baobao's answer.

Jiang Baobao's eyes narrowed slightly; naturally, she guessed what the other party wanted to know.

With a cold face and an appearance of not wanting to communicate at all, she replied indifferently, "The development is about the same as other teams. As for the rest, it belongs to the team's internal secrets, so it's not convenient to say."

"Jiang Baobao! What kind of attitude is that!"

Lu Qing'er had already been annoyed with her for a long time; hearing this, she couldn't suppress her anger and snapped back.

Jiang Baobao let out a cold laugh.

"I'm telling the truth, is there a problem? Stealing a team's trade secrets is against the law. I haven't called my lawyer to talk to you yet; I've already given you plenty of face. If you don't understand, don't go around asking."

She said these words without giving them any face at all, deliberately escalating the issue to a higher level.

Lu Guohui immediately lost face, and Xia Huiya's expression also became somewhat ugly.

"Baobao, we are your elders after all. We were just simply asking out of concern. Even if there was some misunderstanding at the door just now, you don't have to use the fact that your friend is the eldest daughter of the Mu Family to have this kind of attitude, right?"

Xia Huiya spoke unhappily. As soon as the words fell, the people around immediately looked over in disbelief.

Half of the people were looking at Jiang Baobao, while the other half were looking at Cai Xiaotang, and they began to whisper to each other.

"So she is that legendary eldest daughter of the Mu Family who doesn't want to go home?"

"It must be her, right? Didn't that woman just say so? That definitely can't be wrong..."

The gazes of the people around were filled with inquiry and confusion, locking onto Cai Xiaotang and Jiang Baobao.

A dark glint flashed in Jiang Baobao's eyes, and her fingers tightened in an instant.

Xia Huiya!

If she had any issues, she should have come at her; how dare she drag Xiao Tang into this!

Jiang Baobao felt bad as she listened to the surrounding discussions.

Xiao Tang hated the identity of being the eldest daughter of the Mu Family the most, and now there were so many people discussing it...

Jiang Baobao felt a fire rising in her heart.

So they like splashing dirty water on others that much, do they?

Fine, then let's see who is better at acting!

Seeing that everyone around was staring at them, she simply asked back directly: "Elders? How come I don't remember having elders like you? You never cared about me in the past, and now that you know Xiao Tang and I are friends, you find ways to get people to bring you to today's banquet. And you still want me to have what kind of attitude toward you?"

Jiang Baobao directly placed herself in the position of the victim. After she finished speaking, she felt that the people around were looking at the Lu Family with some disgust.

No one who could come here was a fool.

Smart people didn't need to think to understand why the Lu Family had pulled strings to attend this banquet.

Lu Guohui and Xia Huiya's faces turned ashen instantly, burning with shame.

Of course they knew they weren't qualified to be here.

But Jiang Baobao had deliberately exposed them in front of so many people; it was simply slapping them in the face in public!
