Mrs. Huo asked the driver to pick up Chi Muzhen early in the morning. After breakfast, Mrs. Huo held Chi Muzhen's hand.

"Zhen Bao, you stay with me today. I haven't attended many parties in the past few years, so I don't know many famous ladies. When the time comes, you can introduce them to me."

Chi Muzhen nodded, "Okay."

Although the banquet only started in the evening, the servants were already busy, some were cleaning the garden, and some were preparing ingredients.

Chi Muzhen had nothing to do, so she went to the study to get a book and read it in the pavilion in the garden.

Not long after looking at it, a shadow suddenly cast in front of my eyes.

Chi Muzhen raised her head and saw surprise in her eyes when she saw it was Huo Tianyi.

"Cousin, when did you come?"

Huo Tianyi smiled and sat down opposite her with a natural expression, "It's been a while. I heard grandma said that you were reading in the garden. I came to find you."

"Cousin, do you want to tell me something?"

Huo Tianyi nodded and said, "I know grandma's purpose of holding this banquet, but I'm not interested in falling in love right now, so I want to ask Miss Chi for a favor."

Chi Muzhen pursed her lips, "What are you busy with?"

"I hope Miss Chi can help me persuade grandma. She has always liked you the most, and she will definitely listen to what you say."

Chi Muzhen frowned and was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter."

Huo Tianyi chuckled and said slowly: "Miss Chi should know better than me what it feels like to be with someone you don't love. I don't want to delay others, and I don't want to act in front of grandma."

Chi Muzhen's hand holding the book tightened unconsciously, and her fingertips turned green and white.

Just as she was about to speak, a cold voice sounded from outside the pavilion.

"If you really don't like grandma's arrangement, just go and tell grandma yourself, what's the point of embarrassing my wife here?!"

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and saw Huo Yunting walking into the pavilion with a cold expression.

It wasn't until he sat down next to Chi Muzhen that he looked at Huo Tianyi coldly, without any warmth in his eyes.

"Zhen Zhen is thin-skinned and doesn't like talking to strangers. If nothing happens, you can leave now."

Huo Tianyi smiled, glanced at Chi Muzhen meaningfully, and said with a smile: "I offended my younger siblings today. I hope my younger siblings don't mind."

Chi Muzhen looked calm and said, "No."

After Huo Tianyi left, Huo Yunting turned to look at Chi Muzhen, with a cold look in his eyes.

"If he talks to you again, just pretend you didn't hear him."

Chi Muzhen frowned unconsciously, this was too rude.

"Mr. Huo, I haven't forgiven you yet, please stay away from me."

As soon as he finished speaking, his waist was grabbed.

"I just helped you out, can't I offset my previous mistakes?"

The two bodies were pressed tightly together, and Chi Muzhen seemed to be able to feel his body temperature transmitting through the fabric.

She pushed Huo Yunting away, walked to the seat farthest from him and sat down, and said with a half-smile: "Mr. Huo, don't forget, I will be ridiculed by your cousin, and you played a big role in it."

Even Huo Tianyi, who had been away from Rongcheng for several years, knew that Huo Yunting didn't like him. You can imagine what other people in Rongcheng thought of her.

Huo Yunting: "..."

Seeing his silence, Chi Muzhen stood up and looked at him and said, "You have nothing to say? So whether I want to forgive you or not depends on your other behavior."

After saying that, Chi Muzhen turned around and left.

As soon as he took two steps, Huo Yunting hugged him from behind.

He rested his chin on her shoulder, and his warm breath sprayed against her ears, tickling her. The feeling seemed to spread from her ears to her heart, and Chi Muzhen's body couldn't help but stiffen.

"How can you calm down?"

Huo Yunting's coaxing voice rang in her ears. Chi Muzhen was silent for a few seconds and then suddenly pushed him away, turned around and took a few steps back.

"Mr. Huo, you should think about how to calm me down yourself instead of asking me."

Seeing Chi Muzhen's leaving figure, Huo Yunting's eyes deepened and he stopped pursuing her.

Back in the living room, Mrs. Huo saw her and said quickly: "Zhen Zhen, come here quickly."

Chi Muzhen walked to her and sat down, "Grandma, what's wrong?"

"Please help me figure out which skirt is better for me to wear today."

After looking at it for a while, Chi Muzhen picked out a jacket and skirt from the D family, and said with a smile: "Grandma, this should suit you very well."

Mrs. Huo nodded, "Zhen Bao still has a good eye for it. I also took a fancy to this skirt just now."

After chatting with Mrs. Huo for a while, it was soon time for lunch.

During lunch, Cheng Shumin and Huo Jinsong also came over.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Huo looked at Cheng Shumin and said, "There will be many celebrities coming over today. Please help Tianyi keep an eye on them. If there are any suitable ones, you can introduce them to them."

Cheng Shumin's expression changed. If Huo Tianyi married a rich and powerful woman, wouldn't there be a chance to compete for the Huo family's heir in the future?

She lowered her head and said reluctantly: "Okay, I understand."

Chi Muzhen glanced at Huo Tianyi. If he didn't plan to fall in love, now was the best time to express his thoughts.

However, he didn't say anything, he just lowered his head and ate silently.

During the meal, several people ate with their own thoughts.

In the afternoon, Chi Muzhen planned to take a nap, but unexpectedly Huo Yunting called the hair stylist and makeup artist to style her.

Chi Muzhen was a little dissatisfied and glared at Huo Yunting: "You did it on purpose, right? I'm not the protagonist tonight, why should I do it in such a grand way?"

Huo Yunting raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "The ladies coming tonight will definitely be dressed up. You don't want to show up without makeup, and you won't fit in with them, right?"

After thinking for a while, Chi Muzhen did not refuse.

Three hours later, the makeup artist and stylist were finally done.

"Miss Chi, okay, you can open your eyes now."

However, Chi Muzhen did not respond.

"Miss Chi...Miss Chi?"

After shouting several times in a row, Chi Muzhen finally opened her eyes, still confused as if she had just woken up.

"What's wrong? Is it done?"

It was also the first time that the makeup artist could fall asleep while putting on makeup. He nodded and said, "Okay, Miss Chi, please take a look."

Chi Muzhen looked at the mirror. The makeup artist painted her with the popular peach blossom makeup, which complemented her fan's tube top and gauze dress.

Her long hair was pulled back, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbones, which were so white that they almost glowed.

"Miss Chi, I will put on a necklace and earrings for you."

The makeup artist opened the box and took out a pearl necklace and earrings for Chi Muzhen to put on, her eyes filled with amazement.

"Miss Chi, you are so beautiful!"

After putting on the pearl necklace, Chi Muzhen's whole person exuded nobility, making people unable to look away after just one look.

"Thank you."

She stood up and turned around to see Huo Yunting looking at her deeply, his eyes containing many emotions that she couldn't understand.

She walked to Huo Yunting, looked at him and asked, "How is it?"

"very beautiful."

Chi Muzhen smiled and said, "That's good."

"The dinner is about to start, let's go out."

The moment Chi Muzhen appeared in the banquet hall holding Huo Yunting's arm, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Now Chi Muzhen was like a white swan, standing next to Huo Yunting calmly, accepting the envious looks of others.

Chi Xuan also came to the banquet tonight. She was also very beautifully dressed, but compared with Chi Muzhen, she looked a bit plain.

"Why do I feel that Chi Muzhen is much prettier than Chi Xuan?! And she is also fairer than Chi Xuan, and her whole body is radiant with beauty!"

"Actually, the two of them look very similar, but Chi Muzhen's facial features are more delicate than Chi Xuan's, and her skin is better than Chi Xuan's. I didn't notice it before, but now after such a comparison, I can tell them clearly."

"Stop talking, haven't you seen that Chi Xuan's face is already stinking up? She has Jinxiu in her hands now, and there is no benefit in offending her!"

Chi Xuan slowly tightened her hands and stared at Chi Muzhen with extremely cold eyes. She should have been the one standing next to Huo Yunting, and she should have been the one who was envied and praised by everyone!

It was this bitch who took everything from her!
