The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

Lin Qingran remained calm and composed, her gaze fixed on Mu Wanwan, her eyes showing no change in emotion.

"I don't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations, but some people seem to have a habit of gossiping behind people's backs."

Mu Wanwan's expression darkened as she listened to Lin Qingran's sarcastic remarks. She glanced at Lin Qingran with displeasure and then said in a contemptuous tone.

“I’m right, aren’t I? Mu Ya’an was originally a high-class ‘Miss’ cultivated by the Mu family. Now that she’s been abandoned by Mr. Gong, she deserves it.”

Lin Qingran frowned slightly, not expecting that her two cousins, who had grown up together, could speak so viciously.

Mu Wanwan made almost no attempt to hide her disgust and malice towards Mu Ya'an.

Lin Qingran took a deep breath, her gaze falling on Mu Wanwan, scanning her from head to toe, and said in a cold voice.

"And what about you? What were you raised by the Mu family to be?"

Mu Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and her face turned ugly.

She disliked Lin Qingran from the first moment she saw her. She had seen Lin Qingran before at a banquet at the Mu family's residence, and she and Mu Ya'an were the same kind of people.

They are the kind of people who, in a crowd, will unconsciously draw all attention to themselves.

At this moment, Lin Qingran's nobility and arrogance were far more annoying than Mu Ya'an's.

“Ms. Lin, out of consideration for you being the mother of Mr. Gu’s daughter, I’ll give you face and not hold it against you.”

Mu Wanwan knew that if she got into any argument with Lin Qingran here, she would definitely not gain any advantage.

So he gave himself a way out.

She was summoned to Beicheng by Gong Juncheng, and it was very likely that she would replace Mu Ya'an's position. Therefore, Mu Wanwan did not want to have too much conflict with Lin Qingran, as it would be detrimental to her.

"You don't need to give me any face at all."

Lin Qingran looked at Mu Wanwan, whose aura had clearly diminished, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanwan was about to leave, but upon hearing Lin Qingran's words, her expression immediately turned awkward.

Several other waiters overheard what she just said.

Moreover, she had already given Lin Qingran a way out and let the matter drop, but Lin Qingran didn't give her any face at all.

Over the years, Mu Wanwan has been in the entertainment industry, and people everywhere she goes treat her with great respect. It's been a long time since anyone has argued with her like this.

Mu Wanwan then stopped and slowly walked towards Lin Qingran, her eyes filled with provocation.

“Miss Lin, you’re really disrespecting yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you, but you insisted on getting involved. Did what I said just now offend you?”

"Or do you think that you, like Mu Ya'an, are high-class 'ladies' in this circle?"

Mu Wanwan showed no mercy when she said this.

Lin Qingran smiled slightly, her gaze slowly falling on Mu Wanwan, and said softly.

"If I were a high-class lady, then you probably wouldn't even deserve the title of 'lady.' I heard you got your first role by sleeping around."

"I heard from people in the industry that you were photographed by that unscrupulous director back then?"

"Although that director is in jail now, I heard he will be out soon. I heard from a friend in the industry that he has a camera that has stored a lot of things. If these things are released, they could shock the entire entertainment industry."

Mu Wanwan's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing Lin Qingran's words.

Lin Qingran's previous job was in public relations for celebrities in the entertainment industry, so she had access to more information than many others.

Mu Wanwan has been trying to contact the director, hoping he can spend some money to resolve this matter.

I never expected that Lin Qingran would even know this information.

"Miss Mu..."

Mu Wanwan's face turned ugly. Just as she was wondering what to say to Lin Qingran, she heard Lu Xueqi's voice.

She felt as if she had seen a savior and breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Miss Lu."

She turned to look at Lu Xueqi with a smile on her face.

Lu Xueqi was taken aback when she saw Lin Qingran talking to Mu Wanwan. Then, she smiled at Lin Qingran and said softly.

"Qingran knows Miss Mu?"

Lin Qingran glanced indifferently at Lu Xueqi, did not answer Lu Xueqi's question, and walked towards the private room where Gu Moxuan and the others were.

Even though Lin Qingran ignored her, Lu Xueqi maintained a proper expression and smiled as she spoke to Mu Wanwan.

"The dishes are all served. I noticed that Miss Mu hadn't come in yet, so I came out to look for her."

Mu Wanwan looked at the smile on Lu Xueqi's face, then at Lin Qingran who had already entered the private room. Her expression changed slightly. She looked at Lu Xueqi and said softly.

"Miss Lu doesn't mind her presence at all?"

Lu Xueqi is now a favorite of Gu Moxuan.

Although Mu Wanwan looked down on Lu Xueqi from the bottom of her heart, she still didn't dare to offend Lu Xueqi at this moment.

After all, it's not just luck that led her to this position from being a hostess; it also required extraordinary courage and ambition.

Lu Xueqi is not without her own methods to secure her position by Gu Moxuan's side.

Lu Xueqi glanced deeply at Lin Qingran's back before looking away, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, and said softly.

"So what if I mind? After all, Mo Xuan and Miss Lin were husband and wife before, and they have a child together. Even if I mind, I can't change those facts."

"Come on, let's go in."

Lu Xueqi didn't want to chat idly with Mu Wanwan here right now.

Lin Qingran stepped into the private room and saw Mu Ya'an serving them food.

Gong Juncheng, Gu Moxuan, Nie Jingchen, and Chen Cen'an—all of them were present.

When Gu Moxuan saw Lin Qingran walk in, his gaze shifted to Lin Qingran, and his eyes showed a hint of doubt.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Qingran glanced at Gong Juncheng, who was sitting in his chair with an extremely serious expression on his face, his eyes fixed on Mu Ya'an.

Mu Ya'an carefully served them food, and the atmosphere in the private room was somewhat strange.

Having just seen Mu Wanwan and then seeing that everyone here was Gong Juncheng's brother, Lin Qingran probably already knew who was hosting this meal.

"I've come to take Jinjin to my place. At the same time, Shengxia wants to talk to Miss Mu and asked me to pass on a message. Mr. Gong, I wonder if I can take Miss Mu with me?"

Just as Lin Qingran was speaking, Lu Xueqi and Mu Wanwan walked in from outside.

Gong Juncheng's gaze fell on Lin Qingran, then he glanced at Mu Wanwan, his tone indifferent.

"Wanwan, go with Miss Lin and take a look."

Mu Wanwan looked puzzled, still not understanding what was going on.

Lin Qingran looked calmly at Gong Juncheng and said quietly.

"Shengxia is looking for Miss Mu Ya'an."

Gong Juncheng raised his eyes, his deep gaze meeting Lin Qingran's, who showed no fear whatsoever.
