Their eyes instinctively turned toward the stage, and what they saw made both of them pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhenwu was already standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And beside him stood a man with a confident smile... and an appearance so out of place that even the dimmest corners of the hall seemed more refined than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His clothes were cheap, he looked like a beggar, and yet he stood under the spotlight as if he belonged there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Mu’s lips twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned closer to Chu Jing and spoke in a low voice, \"Is he the outstanding man your grandfather chose for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jing’s expression stiffened.

Otherwise, don’t complain to me later.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang’s eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was from her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That single line was enough for her to understand that something terrible was about to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze lifted toward the stage again, lingering briefly on the two figures standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint, almost amused expression appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of bad luck did they have... to provoke her master?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the stage—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhenwu stepped forward, his presence attracting immediate attention. The murmurs in the hall quieted almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have an important announcement,\" he said, his voice steady and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment those words fell, Chu Jing’s heart skipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t need to hear the rest to know what her grandfather was about to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No...\" she muttered, her expression changing as panic surfaced. \"I have to stop him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a step forward instinctively—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could move further, her wrist was caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing, Xiao Mu? Let me go.\" Her voice carried urgency now, almost pleading. \"I can’t let Grandpa make such a mistake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She struggled slightly, trying to free herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Mu stepped forward, blocking her path completely, his grip firm but not rough enough to hurt her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just stay here and watch,\" he said, calmly. \"Trust me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Mu, we can’t let them—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice wasn’t loud.

She looked at him for a moment longer, then let out a quiet breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t want Grandpa to embarrass himself,\" she said softly. \"Fine... if this is what he wants...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze turned cold as she looked toward the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll reject him in front of everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see how he keeps his face then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang’s lips twitched faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t think things would go that smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she almost felt a trace of pity for Chu Jing’s grandfather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had truly offended her master... then tonight would not end with mere embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the one being targeted wasn’t him, but the grinning fool standing beside him—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone associated with it... would not escape cleanly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, Su Mo lowered his phone after sending the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile appeared on his lips as he turned toward Yang Qingxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friendly units have been notified,\" he said lightly. \"No risk of friendly fire now. Miss Yang, are we ready? Where’s the card?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qingxi rolled her eyes, but still took out a card from her purse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure this will work?\" she asked, her tone slightly doubtful. \"What if he just runs away after we use it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo patted his chest confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For that, we have this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out another card and showed it to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qingxi glanced at it, and her brows twitched immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squat Card...?\" she read the item description, her expression turning strange. \"You’re combining this with the other one you made me buy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really left no way out for Lin Fan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qingxi’s heart skipped slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was more?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could ask, a group of reporters suddenly entered the hall, accompanied by cameramen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their sudden arrival instantly disrupted the atmosphere. Several businessmen frowned, clearly displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qingxi turned her head sharply toward Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Don’t tell me this is also you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just asked Manager Wang to let them in,\" he said casually. \"They were so excited that they’re broadcasting this party live across major channels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qingxi’s expression changed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a shock.

Reputation and connections are just as important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After tonight—\" he paused slightly. \"Let’s see which sane person would still dare associate with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qingxi felt a chill run down her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method... was clean.
