Currently, it was a hot topic in the media that Lu Qianqian was going to take over Lu Holdings. After all, as a twenty years old girl, Lu Qianqian was to become the youngest chairman in the history of Jianchuan. So, no matter how people criticized her in private, they could not ignore the fact that she was about to put on the crown as a chairperson.

  And since then, their focus had moved from her aborting a child because of a man to whether she could protect her family business.

  So, the two most talked about women entered the hall of the charity dinner.

  There were no seats in the hall tonight. Everyone would be walking freely in the hall to conduct auctions and charities. Hence, people who were familiar with each other would gather to chat.

  “Did you see? The one who entered just now was the current Crown Princess. And the one walking into the hall now is the former Crown Princess. What do you think will happen between the two tonight?”


  “Are the people in Huang Yao all so ostentatious? Mrs. Sheng wears so much jewelry tonight. Is she worrying that people might not know what business her family does? We are doing charity today but look at her, dressing like a peacock. Who is she showing off to?”


  “comparing the two, I think Mu Qiqi looks more pleasing.”


  “You bet. Ha-ha. I was talking about the same thing with my husband just now. The current Crown Princess of Huang Yao must be competing with Mu Qiqi that she deliberately made herself look sophisticated. But I think Mu Qiqi does not seem to even care about her.”


  Hu Ran was standing at a corner, holding a champagne glass. She was listening to the gossips carefreely while Mu Qiqi and Lu Qianqian walked toward her, out of her expectation.

  “Qianqian, this is the young lady of Hu Holdings. She is also my Third Sister-in-law.”


  “I know,” said Lu Qianqian, “How do you do?”


  “I heard that Miss Lu is going to be the chairman of Lu Holdings. Congratulations.”


  Both of them had bad rumors surrounding them. So, when they met with each other, they knew they would be friends. Mu Qiqi knew this would happen, so she said, “Don’t get too excited when you two are watching the good drama.”


  “You haven’t even started the game. How do you know we will be too excited?” Lu Qianqian chuckled.

  “Gu Ziling is so proud and arrogant. But with your presence, she looks so inferior.”


  The three were chatting happily among the guests. Right then, Gu Ziling came looking for Hu Ran. “Grandpa told me to keep an eye on you when we came out. And I don’t expect you to act so fast and have already found the enemy of the Sheng family.”


  “I have some ties with Qiqi. Aside from my identity as a member of the Sheng family, I am still a Hu. Why can’t I talk to my friend for a while?”


  “Don’t you know Grandpa will get angry for this? Besides, what’s there to talk with a traitor?”


  Seeing Gu Ziling approaching Mu Qiqi and the gang, all guests had their eyes set on them. They were waiting for the moment since the beginning.

  “Since when did Second Sister-in-law have the power to decide for me?” Hu Ran looked at her sharply.

  “You have just recovered from your condition. I am worried that you might not be able to differentiate the wrong from the right,” explained Gu Ziling. “You have not interacted with the outside world for two years. How can you know if the people you meet are humans or demons?”


  She was reminding Hu Ran she used to be touched in the head.

  “Besides, don’t you feel disgusted talking with the person who dissects human bodies every day?”


  Gu Ziling was telling Hu Ran this, yet was humiliating Mu Qiqi at the same time.

  Sure enough, she used this as her weapon to belittle Mu Qiqi. Who had told Mu Qiqi that before? He was such a fortune-teller.

  Lu Qianqian laughed beside Mu Qiqi. Because she knew that Gu Ziling must have been too confident with herself. She had probably never seen Mu Qiqi’s combat skills.

  Xiao Qi’er used to be a gentle sheep in Sheng Xiao arms. But when she came out from his arms, she had turned into a sly fox.

  What had happened to those who bullied Xiao Qi before?

  “Did I dissect the body of your family member? Why do you have such prejudice? Or is it because Xiaoxiao chose to leave the Sheng family and establish his own business rather than marry you that has made you hold a grudge toward me?” Mu Qiqi cocked her eyebrows when facing Gu Ziling. Well, her counterattack had begun.

  “Just let bygones be bygones. At least now I am the wife of the CEO of Huang Yao, and you are not.”


  “Sounds like you are very proud of it.” Mu Qiqi smiled. “Then do you dare to tell the people about your father’s illness?”


  Xiaoxiao had deliberately told her the news just before she left.

  Gu Ziling’s face changed immediately when she heard it.

  “You are showing off in front of me because you know your identity as a rich young lady is being threatened, aren’t you? Knowing that Grandpa Sheng is such a snob, do you think he might force Second Brother to divorce you once the Gu family collapses?”


  Gu Ziling did not expect that Mu Qiqi would know so much behind the scenes.

  “You should be thankful when I ignore you. Why do you come to provoke me instead? Are you not worried that the people might know about the crisis the Gu family is facing so you are asking me to publicize the news for you? No problem. I can totally do you the favor.”


  Gu Ziling looked sick. She gulped down the champagne in her glass.

  “Xiaoxiao told me that it is very easy to destroy the Gu family. It is also not a difficult task to interfere with Huang Yao’s matters. If you really think that you are living an excessively comfortable life, I can help you to make it more interesting. I, Mu Qiqi, have no other hobbies apart from dissecting dead bodies. And I like to help people. Do you need my help?”


  Gu Ziling began to feel distress. She moved her eyes away. But she had nowhere to run now that she had started it.

  So, she must pretend to be tough and not let anyone see any flaws.

  “Don’t try to take advantage of me. Anyone who does this will end up in misery. Gu Ziling, I was taught personally by Sheng Xiao and I don’t have a good temper like Hu Ran. I hope this will be the only time you try to humiliate me. I was too soft to you before, but now, I will not be too polite to you anymore. What’s the big deal of you being the Crown Princess of Huang Yao anyway? I am the wife of the CEO of Zhongteng. In this case, you are just a crown princess, and I am a queen.”


  “Don’t say it already. I feel embarrassed for Miss Gu.” Lu Qianqian nudged Mu Qiqi.

  “She does not feel embarrassed, why should you?” Mu Qiqi glared at her.

  “The auction is about to start. You can let the guests keep looking here.”


  “Isn’t this what Miss Gu wants?” Mu Qiqi said calmly. She was not the one in embarrassment, nor was she the one in fear.

  Although Feng Shanshan was only joking when she asked Mu Qiqi to take revenge for her, since she had the chance, she thought she might as well do it.

  “I will not let this go easily.”


  “Oh.” Mu Qiqi reacted. “Then I shall not help you in hiding the news about your father’s illness anymore. I am a blabbermouth after all. I can’t keep secrets.”
