After my soul traveled through time and space, I became the male protagonist Bai Yueguang

After getting Mu Guichao's approval, the uncle didn't hesitate to put down the champagne in his hand, said goodbye and walked off the stage.

You can tell from his hurried back that he is very impatient.

The guests present actually knew that this banquet was actually arranged for Mu Guichao, and it was just a formality. After all, most of the Mu family's industries are now in the hands of Mu Guichao, and he is also the CEO. How could he not be the one in charge of the Shengjing Mu family in the future?

Everyone had an idea in their minds, so when Uncle Shi heard Mu Guichao's reminder, he also had the answer in his mind.

In order to strengthen the relationship with the Mu family, even if the object is not Mu Guichao, as long as it is of this bloodline, it will not be too disappointing.

"Jia Jia." The uncle walked closer to the noble ladies and called out.

The one sitting in the middle, with a gentle temperament, said something apologetically to the ladies beside her, then stood up and walked towards the uncle.

Although she grew up in a wealthy family, Jia Jia looked like a beautiful girl from a small family. If she walked down the street, she would look like a girl next door. She walked up to her uncle with perfect manners and whispered, "Dad."

Uncle Shi was very satisfied with Jia Jia's performance. He nodded to the ladies behind him, and then took Jia Jia to the window.

The important part of the banquet had not yet arrived. Everyone was gathered in groups of three or five to chat, and the seats by the window were empty, which was perfect for private conversations.

"What's going on?" Jia Jia was puzzled by her father's behavior.

"Did you see that man?" Uncle Shi pointed at the handsome man walking on the grass with a girl outside the window.

Just a back view attracted Jia Jia's attention.

Mu Yanchen has a tall and slender figure, like a clothes hanger. The suit he wears makes him look more noble. When he walks, he carries an aloof and noble temperament, which is a precious trait that those vulgar people floating in the business world desire but cannot obtain.

It is like a bunch of plum blossoms among the wild flowers and weeds, without a trace of materialism, yet standing high up, looking down on all living beings, lofty, misty and cold.

Jia Jia's pupils shrank and she asked in a low voice: "Who is that?"

Hearing Jia Jia's question, the uncle smiled. As a father, how could he not know what his daughter was thinking? He must have been attracted to her.

"That's the seventh son of the Mu family."

Jia Jia looked at her father in surprise. Who doesn't know the seventh son of the Mu family? The illegitimate son who was exiled to the south when he was a child and the most disliked by the Mu family, even if he had never seen him in person, he had heard of him.

"Dad, you won't..."

Although Jia Jia was attracted to Mu Yanchen at first sight, she was a lady of noble birth and could not fall for his appearance. She had many things to consider in her marriage.

She didn't say the next words.

Uncle Shi looked out the window with cloudy eyes, "Do you think that person is not worthy of you?"

“I have this idea.”

"Superficial."

"I'd like to hear the details." Jia Jia's eyes revealed her seriousness. She was born in this family and had thought clearly about marriage matters. She was not as willful as other noble ladies. This was why Uncle Shi liked her.

The uncle told Jia Jia his opinions on Mu Yanchen, and the more Jia Jia listened, the brighter her eyes became.

The advantages that her father mentioned were things she had never heard of before, and what surprised her most was that Mu Yanchen had made such achievements in the south. If it was true as her father said, then she had to establish her position before anyone else competed for it.

Her eyes turned to the dazzling girl and asked coldly, "Who is that girl?"

"She's just a female companion." Uncle Shi said disdainfully.

Jia Jia's eyes moved around, and it seemed that she did not believe what her father said, especially when she saw Mu Yanchen putting on her coat.

It is like a lonely and cold moon descending to the earth, contaminated by the mundane worldly atmosphere.

What was even more glaring was that the girl turned her head to look at Mu Yanchen and smiled. That face was what Jia Jia had longed for for so many years, but she didn't have her family background, right?

As long as the hardware is put out, Jia Jia believes that any man will choose it!

Mu Yanchen and Shen Zhao were walking on the lawn. Shen Zhao turned his head worriedly from time to time to look at the bright banquet hall.

"Aren't you nervous at all? And you still have time to wander around? It looks like the party over there is about to start."

Shen Zhao had never attended such a large and high-class banquet and was somewhat worried.

"I just want you to be quiet before the formal banquet begins."

When Shen Zhao thought of the scenes of toasting and reveling in public before she came out just now, she couldn't help but shudder. It was okay to meet an acquaintance like Li Chengyi, even though they ended up parting on bad terms. But if she met other unfamiliar celebrities, it would really be a torture for her.

She lowered her head silently, "Indeed, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Mu Yanchen couldn't help but smile when he saw her well-behaved appearance. Fortunately, there was no one else present, otherwise he really wanted to hide her.

His eyes darkened.

A person suddenly stood up on a bench not far away. Hearing the noise, Shen Zhao looked in that direction curiously.

She was an older woman, who looked at least older than Mu Guichao. She had a gentle and quiet appearance, and her overall profile was somewhat similar to Mu Guichao. However, she was not as confident as Mu Guichao, who could handle himself at the banquet with ease. Her eyes looked timid, as if she was avoiding something.

When her eyes met theirs, she was more like a frightened rabbit. She lifted her messy skirt and hid behind the bench.

She squatted behind the bench, but the hem of her skirt that protruded beyond the chair betrayed her whereabouts.

Shen Zhao asked quietly: "Who is that?"

She had guessed some of it, but she still had to confirm with the person next to her.

Mu Yanchen's eyes turned cold. Shen Zhao could almost feel the rapid changes in emotions of the people around him. Why was he so touched?

What did that woman do?

The last rays of the setting sun fell on the lawn, but did not add much luster and color to it. Instead, it prepared the way for the darkness that was to follow. The lights on the path gradually lit up on the lawn, but they could never reach the woman's face.

Mu Yanchen looked at the hem of the skirt coldly and laughed.

The sound was very low, and it was particularly creepy on the open lawn.

Shen Zhao shuddered. She looked at the man beside her in confusion. He also turned his head and stared at her with his dark eyes.

"That's Mu Daiying. Well, let me think about it. She's the one who indirectly killed my mother."

Shen Zhao had no idea what was going on and only felt shaken inside. He didn't know how to comfort the man next to him.

But Mu Yanchen didn't seem to think it was a big deal, and continued without knowing the truth: "But she also lived a miserable life. I don't sympathize with her, but it's a blessing for my mother to die early. Unlike her, she lived a timid and distracted life."

"…What did she go through?"

Shen Zhao didn't want to say it, but after hesitating for a long time, he spoke out.

"I just met a beastly father..."

Shen Zhao felt as if her blood was flowing backwards, and she was so cold that she could not move. Under the night sky, the only sound she could hear was a continuous low and joyful laughter.
