Chapter 97: Held up to Heaven
Lady Chu even boasted among a circle of noblewomen and ladies of fashion, declaring that in this lifetime she had recognized only one daughter-in-law, and in the future, everything of the Chu Family would be entrusted to this young couple to manage.
For a time, Mo Xinyu became the object of envy and admiration for all women.
Not only was she so capable, but she also married the outstanding and excellent Chu Yi, and even the people of the Chu Family were so satisfied with her.
She was simply the darling of God!
Meanwhile, everyone also thought of the other younger daughter of the Mo Family.
“Doesn’t Mr. Mo have another daughter, who I didn’t see last time? I heard she’s very beautiful. Is she here today?” a noblewoman asked curiously.
At the mention of this, everyone revealed a subtle smile.
“Are you talking about Miss Mo, the second daughter? I don’t think I’ve seen her today; she probably didn’t come.”
“Eh, have you heard? It is said that the second Miss Mo has always been jealous of her sister’s talents and everything, so she does not get along well with Miss Mo, the eldest daughter.”
“I’ve heard that too, and I also heard that in order to compete with Miss Mo, the eldest daughter, for the young master of the Chu Family, she even plotted to trap the young master.”
“Really? How can there be such a terrible woman? Lady Chu, is this true?” a noblewoman looked at Lady Chu.
Lady Chu naturally knew about the incident last time, and they had always believed it was Mo Jun who was trying to trap Chu Yi.
So, mentioning that bastard daughter Mo Jun, Lady Chu’s face turned cold, “I’d rather not comment on that girl, but she’s indeed not as good as Xinyu.”
Her ambiguous statement was as good as an admission!
Instantly, everyone looked down on Mo Jun with an air of superiority.
Lady Chu glanced at them, then added casually with a smile, “However, Xinyu is a kind child and has always treated her well.”
“Miss Mo, the eldest daughter, is indeed beautiful, kind-hearted, and capable. Lady Chu, you are fortunate.”
“Lady Chu, congratulations, you have selected such an excellent daughter-in-law.”
Hearing everyone’s compliments, Lady Chu smiled even more happily.
It can be said that at this moment, both families of the Mo’s and the Chu’s felt as if they were being raised to the heavens.
The banquet also progressed halfway fairly quickly, but Mo Zhenggang started to feel puzzled, “Why hasn’t the representative from Baishi arrived yet?”
“Dad, should I give them a call?” Mo Xinyu suggested with a smile.
“Good, give them a call. We can’t miss them at such an occasion today, they are our honored guests after all,” Mo Zhenggang said, joyfully and contentedly.
Mo Xinyu also smiled.
She then took out her mobile phone and was about to call the representative of Baishi Pharmaceutical.
She thought that with her status urging them, they would definitely hurry over.
But just as she was about to make the call, someone came to report that they had arrived!
Mo Zhenggang instantly perked up, leading Mo Xinyu to greet them.
“Representative Han, welcome, welcome. We have been eagerly awaiting you for a long time, and it’s just for your arrival that we’re formally holding this celebration banquet,” Mo Zhenggang said, assuming the role of a host with a smile as he extended his hand toward Han Wujì, the representative from Baishi.
However, Han Wujì did not show his usual politeness, instead his expression was very serious.
“Mr. Mo is too kind, but such a celebration banquet, we do not deserve it,” said Han Wujì, his tone also very cold. Seeing him acting this way, both Mo Zhenggang and Mo Xinyu instantly became confused.
The murmurings around them gradually quieted.
Straining to keep his smile, Mo Zhenggang asked, “Representative Han, what do you mean by that? Is there something wrong with our hospitality?”
