They might have let this matter rest in the past, but now that they knew there was a Mrs. President, they would find out who she was, by hook or by crook!
Of course, finding out her ident.i.ty would make it easy for them to win brownie points, but aside from that, they might b.u.mp into her in the future, so knowing how she looks was essential!
“No, I don’t have any pictures. Everyone, please return to your respective posts.”
“Who is that missy?” Well, even if there was no photo, they could still investigate on their own if they knew which household the missy came from!
“Sorry, I’m not able to share. Everyone, please return to your respective posts.” PA w.a.n.g tried to dissuade the crowd again.
“C’mon, PA w.a.n.g!” The executives gave him a look that very much said that they would not leave until he gave them something!
“…”
I should be the one saying this to all of you: Please don’t do this to me!
At this moment, at the Mu household…
It was halfway through the feast, and still, Bao Junyan was nowhere in sight. The matriarch could bear it no longer, so she turned to her son and instructed, “Quick, bring Mu Huan to me!”
What is she doing?! Why hasn’t she brought Bao Junyan over yet?!
Mu Dongsheng immediately went in search of her daughter. Alas, he could not find her after going a single round inside the compound, and she was not answering her phone either. This got him really nervous now. Without his daughter on hand, he would get it from his mother. But more importantly, without the son-in-law, he would not be able to borrow that five million yuan!
The deadline to return the money was drawing close!
In the end, he had to return to his mother, empty-handed.
“Mom, I cannot find Xiao Huan.”
“That d*mn girl!” Right now, the old lady was mad enough to take it out on someone, anyone.
Bai Xuexian, standing at one side, arched her lips into a slight victorious grin. Well, that girl is having a whale of a time with Gu Chenyi, how are you going to find her?
The steely lady calmed herself down and rethought this matter through. Something’s not right. Mu Huan’s granny is in my hands right now, so she will not dare to try anything funny or she would not have come here tonight in the first place.
A fishy idea came to her and she glanced at her daughter-in-law. “Don’t tell me you did something to Xiao Huan?!” she interrogated Bai Xuexian with an icy glint.
If she didn’t, that girl will not dare to play hide-and-seek with me right now!
Feigning innocence, Bai Xuexian replied, “Mother, haven’t you noticed that I’ve been here with you all night? How could I have done anything?”
To ensure that her plan would arouse no suspicion, she had been staying by her mother-in-law’s side and let her trusted ally to carry out the dirty work instead.
Just earlier, her ally had sent word to her that everything had gone smoothly as planned.
At this moment, she was sure that the girl must have been tricked into an illicit relations.h.i.+p with her former boyfriend as planned. Little did she know that Lin Qingya had managed to bribe her confidant into betraying her.
“Yes, you’re here with me now, but what about your men?” The matriarch was shrewd enough to sense something amiss from her daughter-in-law’s reply. Although there was nothing to rouse her suspicion with Bai Xuexian yet, the latter’s reply somehow seemed to be too obvious to be necessary.
“My men? Who are you referring to?” The middle-aged woman continued to maintain her innocence.
“Don’t let me catch you doing something wrong!” The matriarch threw her a glare once more.
Then she looked at her son and barked, “Call Bao Junyan and find out his whereabouts. Ask him when he’s coming over and see if Mu Huan is with him as well.”
Even though she was suspecting Bai Xuexian, there was also the likelihood that Mu Huan had gone searching for Bao Junyan when he did not turn up.
Mu Dongsheng quickly made a call to Bao Junyan.
At the lounge, just when Mu Huan’s phone had stopped ringing, Bao Junyan’s sounded almost immediately.
And it rang relentlessly.
Mu Huan tried to switch off the phone to no avail. Fed up, she simply smashed the phone against the wall.
Right now, nothing and n.o.body could be of importance!
