Chapter 52
Qiao Ya realized that Lin Xian’s attention had shifted toward Qiao Mu. A hint of greed flashed across her eyes as she smiled, “Young Master Lin, my younger sister is still in university, so she rarely shows up for public events.”
“No wonder! It’s such a shame for such a beautiful young woman to fall into the oblivion that is university. As her big sister, you should expose her to more events like this for knowledge and experience. I have a private party in two days’ time. If it’s convenient for you, you can bring your younger sister with you to my party.”
Qiao Ya’s eyes brightened and she immediately answered without caring about Qiao Mu’s opinion, “Of course we’re free to attend when Young Master Lin’s the one who invited us!”
Qiao Mu already guessed that the other person’s status must be extraordinary after she noticed Qiao Ya’s bootlicking attitude. Qiao Ya always acted aloof and highly. If the other person did not hold any value to her, she would never lower herself like this.
Han Su pulled Qiao Mu to the side and warned her, “Mu Mu, the person just now is the mayor’s son. He doesn’t have the best of personalities, so you have to watch your distance.”
Lin Xian was obviously interested in Qiao Mu judging from his behavior just now.
Lin Xian was well-known for being a playboy, and there was nothing that he would not do in his life of dissipation. Moreover, he was the son of an official, so he was fearless in his wrongdoings, as his father would clear up his mess every single time.
Qiao Mu nodded. The mayor’s son indeed had a powerful background!
At the same time, Li Yan walked toward Lin Xian. Qiao Mu was somewhat surprised as she looked at Han Su, “Senior, the mayor’s son is not the mayor, why does everyone need to give face to him?”
“You’re unaware about this, but recently there is a plot of land in the northern suburb that holds a huge development value, and a lot of companies have their eyes on it. The land directly belongs to the city hall, so the mayor’s official approval is needed to own the land. I believe it’s because of this matter that your uncle is taking the initiative to greet Lin Xian.” Han Su explained.
Qiao Mu did not understand business-related matters. She only knew that both Qiao Group and Li Group seemed like they wanted this business deal.
Qiao Mu watched Li Yan and Lin Xian as they clinked wine glasses, and Qiao Ya had an awkward expression on her face as she stood by their side. Qiao Mu wanted to laugh at the scene. Li Yan certainly was not giving face to Qiao Ya again.
Qiao Mu was somewhat tired, so she notified Han Su before she rested on the couch aside. She lowered her head to play on her cell phone to pass the time. A tall figure stood in front of her and the shadow loomed over her vision.
She raised her head and saw Li Yan’s handsome face. Qiao Mu’s eyes crinkled in smile as she shifted over to give Li Yan a space to sit.
“Uncle, have a seat.”
Li Yan glanced lazily at her as he sat down conveniently.
He raised one of his long legs to cross over another leg, and his arm rested on the back of the couch behind her. His posture was extremely languid as he stared indifferently at her.
He just stared silently at her without uttering a word. Qiao Ya could not stand the silent treatment. He seemed even scarier when he was staring silently at her than when he was scolding her fiercely.
“Uncle…” In order to ease the tension, Qiao Mu thought for a while and said, “You see, most of the men here have female companions but you don’t have one. No one would dare to get close to you when you’re wearing a cold expression on your face.”
Li Yan raised his brows indifferently as he spoke through his thin lips, “My female companion was snatched away by another person.”
“Who’s so fearless?!”
“Your senior.” His voice sounded dull.
Qiao Mu was left speechless.
She immediately realized that she was the female companion he was talking about!
The man before her suddenly got closer to her. His languid expression had a hidden aura that was domineering and unruly, as his deep voice said one word after another, “Qiao Mu, my woman can only be used by me. Others don’t have the rights to touch what’s mine. Do you understand?”
His words implied another meaning.
Qiao Mu’s heart stopped beating as she nodded subconsciously. This man was serious about it.
“Speak!”
Qiao Mu immediately straightened up and sat upright, as she said earnestly, “I understand!”
