Chapter 266 - Couples
The dance music resumed and people soon forgot about the incident.
Quan Yu stood beside Mo Li, playing with Rou Rou. They did look like a family.
Mo Li, it"s this b.i.t.c.h again! Xiao Yue could feel her blood pressure right. How did she manage to ruin my plan again?
"Hmph, I thought you"ve changed but it looks like I was wrong. The good daughter that you raised screamed at a child right before the public. The face of the Xiao Family is all gone because of it." Xiao Ming grumbled with dissatisfaction at his wife. Xiao Rui and Xiao Yuan immediately jumped to their mother"s rescue. They frowned. "Dad, what does this have to do with mom?"
"Look at how Mrs. Mo managed to defuse the situation! And look at you! You only knew how to stand there and be a fool!" Xiao Ming was angry as he recalled the scene! The women of his family were such disappointments!
"That is because Mrs. Mo is used to deal with such situations thanks to Mo Li." Xiao Rui argued for his mother. Mrs. Xiao was aggrieved. She didn"t even know what happened. She already rushed over as soon as possible but now she was blamed by her husband for it.
It was not even her blood that was flowing through Xiao Yue. Mrs. Xiao gritted her teeth. This man must have been mad to blame me for that b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s mistake.
"Dad... I..." Xiao Yue began but when she saw Xiao Ming"s expression, she knew it was best to not say anything or she"d only make things worse.
As people continued to dance, Xiao Yue sent a message. "We have to push our plan forward. Do it now."
Qiao Qing glanced at the message on her phone and she scoffed internally. Has this Xiao Yue lost her mind? She has just gotten into an argument with Mo Li and now she wants to make her move? Does she want people to suspect her?
Qiao Qing put her phone away and obediently sat beside Jiang Yao. This was a perfect chance to her to socialize too.
Xiao Yue failed to get a reply from Qiao Qing. She walked towards Quan Yu.
"What are you doing here?" Quan Yu"s face frosted over when he saw Xiao Yue. Mo Li hugged the boy and left. Xiao Yue"s face paled and forced an ugly smile. She was about to say something when Xiao Ming called her. She thus excused herself and turned away without saying a word.
Quan Yu stared at the woman"s back and narrowed his eyes. I do want to see what kind of trick is she up to.
When Xiao Yue was close, Xiao Ming scolded, "Have you not embarra.s.sed us enough? When you stand next to the Mo Family"s daughter, you look like a donkey. Just stay obediently by your mother"s side and stop creating troubles for me, or else you won"t even have a part in the family business!" After he gave the threat, Xiao Ming huffed and walked away.
Behind him, Xiao Yue"s face darkened with venom. She looked around and noticed Rou Rou was skipping around with a bag and carrying a piece of candy. An idea popped into her mind. Since Qiao Qing won"t help me, then I"ll just use this little brat!
Holding 2 flutes of champagne, Xiao Yue squatted down in front of Rou Rou. "Rou Rou, my little friend."
When Rou Rou saw the fierce-looking sister, he instinctively took a step back.
"It was my fault earlier for making your pretty sister and daddy angry. I wish to apology to your pretty sister but I am afraid that she won"t accept my apology. Will you please give this champagne to your pretty sister? Rou Rou, can you please help me?"
The child was too innocent to know the plot in this woman"s mind. Rou Rou accepted the flute from Xiao Yue and ran towards Mo Li. After Xiao Yue watched Mo Li take the flute and drink the champagne from Rou Rou, Xiao Yue smiled and then turned to find Quan Yu.
Tonight, she was going to match make two pairs and one of them would be herself and Quan Yu. Xiao Yue"s face immediately filled with indescribable excitement.
"Brother Yu, it was my fault for not being a good hostess, I hope you can forgive me." Xiao Yue cut in the conversation and handed the other flute of champagne to Quan Yu.
Oh, what is she playing at now? Quan Yu accepted the flute with amus.e.m.e.nt.
Xiao Yue grabbed another flute from a pa.s.sing waiter and they clinked their flutes. Soon Quan Yu could feel his vision blur.
He waved to Ah Si and Ah Zhong. "Go and wait for me at the entrance. I"ll go upstairs to wash my face and then we"ll return to the company."
Xiao Yue was surprised that Quan Yu would be so cooperative. Looks like his mind still has me after all. She followed after him.. "Brother Yu, let me show you the way."
