The CEO's husband didn't come home every night, and Secretary Chu was angry
Chapter 23 Family Banquet
Chu Mu looked over in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Yi Fengteng.
His face was full of shock and disapproval, and then displeasure: "Why are you here?"
"Sister?" Chu Mu finally saw Lin Jiaojiao, who had been hiding behind Yi Fengteng. She was dressed in red, her long hair falling to her waist. Her makeup was delicate, but too strong for the occasion.
"Do you know each other?" asked sister-in-law Wen Zhao.
Zhang Tingyu also looked puzzled.
She turned her eyes away from Lin Jiaojiao and replied to Wen Zhao calmly, "I know her. Jiaojiao is the daughter of my mother's friend. We grew up together and even had dinner with Feng Teng."
These words not only gave Lin Jiaojiao enough face, but also concealed Chu Mu's identity as his secretary.
"Yes, at W Restaurant." Yi Yichen continued Chu Mu's words.
Hearing the words "W Restaurant," Yi Fengteng and Lin Jiaojiao felt a pang of guilt. If the Yi family knew that Lin Chusheng had caused Chu Mu's injured arm, the people in this room would probably investigate it to the end, and Lin Jiaojiao's situation would be even more difficult.
Zhang Tingyu would probably take this opportunity to completely break up with Lin Jiaojiao and then marry Gao Haitang, the daughter of Gao's Bank.
Yi Fengteng didn't say anything else, but Chu Mu was obviously Yi Yichen's secretary, so why was she attending today as his wife, and at the Yi family's family dinner?
Is there any hidden secret behind this?
He looked at Chu Mu carefully, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Lin Jiaojiao had the same question, but she tactfully kept silent, simply answering, "Yes, my sister and I have been close since we were young."
Chu Mu listened, smiled faintly, and did not continue the conversation.
Zhang Tingyu, on the other hand, passed by Lin Jiaojiao and led Chu Mu to Mr. and Mrs. Yi as if presenting a treasure: "Dad, Mom, your favorite daughter-in-law is here."
"Quick! Sit down." Chu Mu had an elegant and noble temperament and was well-spoken, worthy of being a child raised by the Chu family. Old Master Yi was very satisfied and patted the table next to him with a smile on his face.
Chu Mu politely greeted the two elders, then took out the gift he had prepared in advance and said, "Dad, I heard from my grandparents that you like to make perfumes. This is Arabian ambergris, I hope you like it."
"You've got the right gift. He loves making perfumes and composing music." Old Madam Yi was kind and peaceful, her features mirroring those of Yi Yichen. She must have been a beauty in her youth.
Mr. Yi opened the gift in front of him and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling: "Oh, this is top-grade ambergris, which can't be bought even with money. My daughter, you took the trouble."
"As long as you like it." Chu Mu nodded slightly, calmly and generously.
Yi Yichen looked at Chu Mu, a little surprised, but also a little appreciative. He hadn't expected Chu Mu to be so thoughtful, to have prepared a gift in advance, and to have catered to his preferences, making the old man so happy.
"Grandpa and grandma, Jiaojiao has also prepared gifts for you." Seeing that the old man was happy to receive the gifts, Yi Fengteng hurriedly pulled Lin Jiaojiao out to ask for good luck.
Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Jiaojiao again.
Lin Jiaojiao hesitantly stepped forward and secretly moved her gift back. She had prepared a jade pendant from the late Qing Dynasty. The jade pendant wasn't particularly high-quality, and compared to Chu Mu's exquisite ambergris, her gift seemed rather shabby.
Zhang Tingyu caught a glimpse of Lin Jiaojiao's little gesture and a hint of disdain crossed his face. They both came from humble backgrounds, so how could Chu Mu act so gracefully while Lin Jiaojiao was so coy?
I really don't know why my son has such poor vision. He doesn't want to marry Miss Gao, who is a good match for him, but chooses a poor man whose father is about to go to jail.
"If you have a gift, just give it out. Is it something you can't give away?" Zhang Tingyu said unhappily.
