The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 224 It’s you

Chapter 224 It's You

The banquet was scheduled to start around 8:30 p.m., and it was already close to 7 p.m. Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu didn't have much time to waste, so they didn't say anything more, changed into the dresses that Lin Zhu and the others had brought, had the makeup artist do their hair and makeup, and then headed to the banquet venue.

According to Li Chenxu, the important figure this time is surnamed Ge. He went abroad to develop his business when the country was founded, and over the years, his company has become one of the few Chinese companies that have developed exceptionally well overseas.

The Ge family actually has quite a few businesses in China, but their influence in the domestic market is completely absent. Neither Li Chenxu nor Mu Xiaoyu could understand why the Ge family would suddenly come to Beijing.

Moreover, according to what Li Chenxu had previously learned, the Ge family was clearly going to stay in the capital for quite some time, and might even return to their ancestral home again.

"But did you know the Ge family before? Did they invite all the celebrities in Beijing this time, or did they invite you alone?"

"I'm not too sure about that, but it should be that all the celebrities in the capital were invited. If they were inviting people individually, they shouldn't have invited me at this time."

As one of the most prestigious families in the capital, the Li family is the only one that can stand in the capital. No matter how much influence the Ge family has abroad, the capital is still the capital. If they want to develop and establish themselves in the capital in the long term, they cannot afford to offend the Li family.

Li Chenxu has only just left the Li family, so the Ge family would never take such a big risk to invite him alone.

Mu Xiaoyu hadn't thought of this at first, but now that Li Chenxu had said it, she immediately understood.

The car had arrived outside the hotel, and as people came and went at the entrance, many familiar faces could be seen.

Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu exchanged a glance, but neither of them said anything more, and they got out of the car.

This was Mu Xiaoyu's first time attending such a grand party with Li Chenxu. From the moment they entered the hotel, the exquisite and luxurious decor filled the entire lobby. Just looking at the lobby, you could tell it cost a fortune, not to mention the interior.

This clearly demonstrates the Ge family's immense wealth and power.

Fortunately, Mu Xiaoyu had seen many big scenes, and although she was somewhat surprised, she did not show the slightest fear.

Upon seeing this scene, she couldn't help but tug at Li Chenxu's hand and tease him, "I thought I had met all the rich people in the capital, and that no matter how rich the Ge family was, they were just so-so. Now it seems that I've become a frog in a well."

Hearing this, Li Chenxu couldn't help but chuckle. Ignoring the various glances coming from around them, he reached out and pinched the tip of Mu Xiaoyu's nose, saying with a smile, "Actually, I can do these things too, if you like..."

"No, no, no! I was just saying. Why waste that money? We'd be better off doing something else useful with that money."

Although Mu Xiaoyu is a woman, she is sometimes less romantic than Li Chenxu. If it were an ordinary woman, she would probably be incredibly excited to hear Li Chenxu say something like that.

Mu Xiaoyu was happy, but she really felt it was unnecessary to waste that money.

Fortunately, Li Chenxu didn't think Mu Xiaoyu was emotionless. On the contrary, he thought Mu Xiaoyu was really cute, so he couldn't help but kiss her before leading the others inside.

I originally thought that since the Ge family had made such a lavish banquet, there must be a lot of people attending. But after going inside, I found that most of the attendees were just familiar faces, and not all of them were from top wealthy and influential families.

Mu Xiaoyu met Song Yin and Song Bai, whose eyes lit up when they saw her. When Mu Xiaoyu was kidnapped and hospitalized, Song Bai and Song Yin had actually visited her, but Mu Xiaoyu was asleep and unaware of it. However, Li Chenxu, being extremely jealous, had someone find an excuse to keep Song Bai and Song Yin out.

Mu Xiaoyu only learned about this afterward. At that time, she wanted to contact Song Yin, but after being discharged from the hospital, the Li family made a scene, and there were also many things to do at the company, so she put the matter out of her mind. Now, seeing Song Yin and Song Bai, she suddenly remembered it.

Mu Xiaoyu immediately felt a little embarrassed.

However, her expression remained unchanged. After giving Song Yin and the others a calm smile, she lowered her voice and said to Li Chenxu beside her, "It's all your fault. You made an excuse to get Song Yin and the others to leave last time. Now I feel a little embarrassed when I see them!"

This was exactly the effect Li Chenxu wanted. She didn't object to Mu Xiaoyu making friends at all. Song Yin was straightforward and of good character in every way, making her a worthwhile friend. It was just a pity that she happened to be Song Bai's sister.

Li Chenxu had a lot on his mind, but he couldn't tell Mu Xiaoyu what he was thinking directly.

So when he heard Mu Xiaoyu's words, Li Chenxu pretended to be innocent and looked at Mu Xiaoyu, saying, "At that time, I saw that you were sleeping soundly, and if Song Yin and the others saw you with your clothes disheveled, it wouldn't look good, so I didn't wake you up... It's really not my fault..."

In Mu Xiaoyu's opinion, Li Chenxu's acting skills are now comparable to those of Song Yin, a film queen. With this innocent look, if Mu Xiaoyu hadn't already known what kind of person Li Chenxu was, she probably would have been really fooled by his current appearance.

However, she was used to Li Chenxu's jealousy, and now, facing Li Chenxu's current state, what could she do but feel helpless?

"Mr. Li?"

Just then, someone behind them called out to Li Chenxu uncertainly. Upon hearing this, both of them subconsciously looked behind them.

Behind them stood a well-maintained middle-aged woman; perhaps because she was so well-preserved, it was impossible to guess her real age. She was looking at Li Chenxu with a hint of uncertainty.

However, Mu Xiaoyu's attention was more focused on the man next to her than on the woman.

"It's you?"

The man also saw Mu Xiaoyu, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "What a coincidence."

The man standing next to the woman was the middle-aged man who had saved Mu Xiaoyu from being hit by a car that day. It was unexpected that the two would meet in this way after so many days.

Mu Xiaoyu hadn't had a chance to thank the other person last time, so she was naturally happy to see him now.
