aught sight of her, his voice lazily asking, "Are you ready"Fu Xiaoyao's footsteps paused, and she didn't respond.Lü Hánchuan knew she was acting coquettishly, and he didn't mind her current attitude....Ginger lowered her head, a bit shyly. "You know what it is, so why say anything"

Lin Mu Xi smiled, "What's the relationship There are only the two of us here. By the way, when will your brother Hanchuan be here"

"I don't know, my father said he would come, but until now, I haven't seen him." Ginger lowered her head with a gloomy expression.

At that moment, a waiter approached, "Miss Jiang, Old Master Jiang and Mr. Jiang would like you to go over there. They say they want to meet Mr. Lu gradually."

"Mr. Lu" Ji Nana's eyes lit up.

This Mr. Lu couldn't be Lu Hanchuan, could he

No wonder she waited for so long here and didn't see anyone, it turns out he had arrived earlier and was already with her grandfather.

"I got it, I'll be there right away." Ginger Nana replied with a smile.

The waiter nodded and left.

Lin Mu Xi looked at the so happy Ginger Nana, patted her shoulder, "Congratulations to you, can see your Han Chuan brother."

Jian Nana's hands were tightly clasped together, her face betraying her excitement. She didn't say a word.

Lin Mu Xi pushed her, "Aren't you going yet"

"Okay, I'll be right there." Jiang Nana said, quickly running towards the dressing room.

Lin Mu-xi saw her leave, and she herself held a glass of red wine, and began to stroll around the banquet.

Walking and walking, Lin Muhi stumbled, her center of gravity unstable. With a thud, she fell to the ground on her bottom.

And the moment she fell, the red wine in her hand flew out and landed right on the woman who was walking towards her.

A woman wearing a gorgeous black long dress, a red wine glass smashed on the woman's shoulder.

The woman let out a muffled groan, and the glass of wine slipped from her grasp, shattering into several pieces.

But the red wine inside the blanket spilled out, soaking the woman.

Fortunately, she was wearing a black long dress. The spilled red wine couldn't be seen on it, but the wet patch stuck to her skin, which was very uncomfortable.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head to look at the wet spot on her leg, only feeling a wave of headache.

Shi Mo came over to check on her, “Yaoyao, are you alright”

Fu Xiaoyao shook her head. "It's nothing, just got hit by a wine glass and my dress is wet."

Shi Mo let out a breath, "It's alright then."

After finishing his words, he looked down at Lin Mu Xi sitting on the ground, her brows furrowed. "What was that just now Can't you see there are people ahead"

Lin Muhi had been scared since she caused the trouble.

Now that she heard Shi Mo's words, her face paled, and she quickly stood up, her eyes reddened. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I'm so sorry, Miss, I...how about I help you wipe it clean"

Saying that, Lin Mu Xi flustered took out her handkerchief and wanted to wipe the clothes for Fu Xia Yao.

Fu Xiaoyao took a step back. "No need, wiping it won't help. This dress can't be worn after it gets wet."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu-xi's expression faltered, "Then... what should we do"

"What else can we do, it's a loss." A bystander watching the commotion remarked.

Lin Mu Xi heard this, bit her lower lip.

What

She actually didn't really want to lose. All the people attending the banquet were definitely either rich or noble. The dress this young lady was wearing was so magnificent, it looked very expensive. Although she wasn't short of money, she didn't have much either. After losing, she would definitely be penniless.

"Why are you silent" Shi Mo looked at Lin Mu Xi, who didn't say a word, his thin lips slightly parted.

Lin Mu-xi pinched her palm, "I... I..."

Fu Xiaoyao could tell what she was thinking. She beckoned over a waiter.

"Miss, is there anything I can help you with"

"I need paper and pen!" Fu Xiaoyao replied.

"Okay." The waiter replied and quickly went to prepare it.

Two minutes later, the paper and pen arrived.

Fu Xiaoyao took the pen and paper and began writing on it.

When Shi Mo looked up, he saw the content above and couldn't help but smile.

Lin Mu Xi was also curious and wanted to lean over to take a look.

But she didn't know the other person, so after doing that, they would definitely be unhappy. She could only suppress her curiosity and not look.

Soon, Fu Xiaoyao finished writing. She returned the pen to the waiter and handed the note to Lin Mu Xi. "Here's my contact information, bank account number, and the price of this dress. I won't make things difficult for you. Just transfer the money for the dress to this account. Come on, brother, let's go."

After saying that, Fu Xiaoyao linked her arm with Shi Mo's and walked away.

Lin Mu Xi stared blankly at the paper in her hand, feeling as if it weighed a thousand pounds. Besides being hot to the touch, she also felt humiliated.

She just got that woman's clothes dirty, it's fine, just wipe them off! What's the big deal about not being able to wear them anymore She's being totally dramatic.

Two million, she's clearly just trying to make things difficult for her. She's so beautiful, why is her heart so narrow Can't she just let it go

The more she thought about it, the more wronged Lin Mu Xi felt. She clutched the paper in her hand and turned to look in the direction Fu Xiaoyao and Shi Mo had left.

Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing, she bit her lip, stomped her foot, and then a tear rolled down her cheek.

Shi Mo, from the corner of his eye, noticed and frowned. "That woman just now, she seemed to have cried."

Fu Xiaoyao swirled the red wine in her glass and smiled, "Cry if you want to. I know exactly what she's thinking. I feel like I'm making things difficult for her by asking her to pay for her ruined clothes. I've seen a lot of people like this over the past few years—they can't handle even a little bit of hardship. If anyone makes them unhappy, that person is the bad guy. Sorry."

If it were her from before, she probably wouldn't have made that woman pay for her ruined dress. She would have thought it was just a little bit splashed with red wine, nothing major.

But later, after she grew stronger, she realized that in this world, no one is born to endure being treated poorly. Making someone's clothes dirty and having to compensate them isn't a natural law, is it

"That woman is such a white lotus." Shi Mo took a sip of his wine and replied.

Fu Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow. "Brother, you've only been back in the country for so long, how do you even know the term 'white lotus'"

Shi Mo chuckled lightly, "It's not that your company's female employees gossip too much. After hearing too much, you'll understand."

Fu Xiaoyao nodded, "I see. You're right though, that woman just now was a white lotus. She looked so gentle and innocent, but deep down she was more selfish than anyone else. She doesn't even have a normal sense of right and wrong. People like this only believe what they think is right."

To give an example, if it wasn't that woman who stained her clothes, but someone else, and she made that person compensate for it, that woman would definitely come up to her and persuade her, saying that the clothes were only slightly soiled and making someone else pay was excessive.

The same thing could happen to that woman, and if that woman loses, she'll feel very wronged.

"Alright, don't worry about those people, you won't see them again anyway." Shi Mo patted Fu Xiaoyao on the shoulder.

Fu Xiaoyao hummed softly and picked up a plate of pastries, starting to eat.

Shi Mo didn't stay with her long, saw two acquaintances and went to greet them.

Fu Xiaoyao sat alone in the rest area, eating something while waiting for Lu Hanchuan to come back to her.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Lu Hanchuan came back, followed by a woman with a shy expression.

Upon seeing the woman, Fu Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow and set down the plate of pastries in her hand.

"Back" Fu Xiaoyao stood up.

Lu Hanchuan nodded slightly, "Have I kept you waiting"

"No, I have my brother here with me. It doesn't feel long at all. It's you, though. You haven't said anything after being gone for so long, and you even brought a little tail along" Fu Xiaoyao looked at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.ch more composed than Mother Fu. At the very least, he wouldn't be speechless with fear. "I... We don't know either. That woman didn't tell us about her identity.""A woman" Lu Hankan narrowed his eyes...
