Chapter 185: Meeting Someone Familiar

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Night fell quietly, and the outline of a bright moon gradually became clearer. The night breeze blew slowly, and the coldness could not be ignored.

In a high-end villa, the courtyard was brightly lit, and handsome men and beautiful women could be seen everywhere.

Soothing music sounded in the magnificent hall, mixed with the clamor of human voices and the crisp sound of glasses clinking.

At this moment, a black Maybach slowly stopped outside the door, attracting everyone’s attention.

In this circle of wealthy families, Maybachs were relatively common models, but not many had unique license plates.

Before the person in the backseat got out of the car, someone had already guessed who the person in the car was. “That’s the Lu family’s car, right?”

“The family with the abandoned wife?”

“You don’t say, Lu Qingye’s wife is really pretty.”

With a few words from others, the door of the back seat of the Maybach opened. Meng Chuyuan was the first to get out of the car.

She was wearing a blue strapless evening gown tonight. The fabric was made of sequined cloth, which was even more dazzling under the light. She was wearing a thin shawl, and the corset dress perfectly outlined her slender waist.

The sparkling gown paired with her half-tied princess hairstyle not only attracted the attention of the crowd, but the street lights and the night breeze also gathered towards her.

She was mainly accompanying her mother-in-law to attend someone else’s birthday banquet tonight. She had not planned to dress so grandly, but before she left, Madam Lu criticized her for wearing a plain white lace dress and asked her to change into a new gown.

After Meng Chuyuan stabilized herself, she ignored the gazes of others. She turned her body and reached out to help Madam Lu out of the car.

Madam Lu’s evening gown was gray, and it fitted her waist. Overall, it looked very classy. She was holding a black lychee bag in her hand and wore a black high heel. She simply exuded an aura.

When the bystanders saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get out of the car, their lips curled into a mocking smile. They said to their good friend beside them, “Lin Youjuan actually brought her daughter-in-law out?”

“I guess it’s because her husband isn’t back yet. She can only ask her daughter-in-law to accompany her.”

Because Lin Youjuan had the Lin family backing her, even if she was just a pretty face, everyone could only discuss their opinions of her secretly in private and did not dare to talk too much in the open.

Lin Youjuan didn’t like such gatherings. If it weren’t for the fact that the two families still had business dealings, she would have rejected them long ago.

Fortunately, Meng Chuyuan was free and was willing to accompany her on this trip.

Lin Youjuan brought Meng Chuyuan into the courtyard. She did not even need to show her invitation. She could enter just by showing her face to the guard. When the two of them walked in, a waiter quickly came forward with a glass of wine.

Meng Chuyuan chose a glass of champagne and followed Madam Lu into the banquet hall, greeting everyone.

To be precise, the moment they walked in, they did not have to deliberately walk in front of others at all. Most of them took the initiative to come over for a toast and exchange pleasantries.

Lin Youjuan was more relaxed when she saw people she knew. She took the initiative to introduce Meng Chuyuan to her friends. She simply brushed off those she was unfamiliar with or had never seen before.

“Mrs. Lu, long time no see.” It was a couple who took the initiative to clink glasses with Lin Youjuan.

She raised her glass and gently touched the other party’s glass. She smiled awkwardly and replied, “Long time no see…”

In fact, she didn’t know who this couple was at all. In order to hide the awkwardness, Lin Youjuan didn’t dare to address them.

The man took a sip of red wine and his gaze slowly landed on Meng Chuyuan.

He said softly, “This must be Young CEO Lu’s wife, right?”

“Hello.” Meng Chuyuan nodded slightly and greeted him politely.

The other party raised his glass slightly to show his respect and said in admiration, “Little CEO Lu is very outstanding. I hope to have the chance to work with him.”

Meng Chuyuan smiled and said generously, “Then you have to work hard.”

The other party was amused by her reply. He nodded and said, “You’re right.”

There were many people who wanted to collaborate with the Lu family.

Everyone displayed strong intention to collaborate with them, but they all

knew that the Lu family would not casually agree Just because someone expressed their goodwill.

Even though she and Lin Youjuan didn’t know much about company operations, they knew that they couldn’t cause trouble for Lu Qingye and the others.

Meng Chuyuan had seen it for herself tonight. No wonder Lu Qingye and his family did not like this kind of occasion. There were too many people trying to please them. Even if they were just exchanging superficial greetings, the others would still welcome them with smiles.

After sending the couple away, Meng Chuyuan found a quiet corner and sat down. She even reserved a seat for Madam Lu.

The two of them were wearing high heels, and their feet were sore after standing for a while.

There were many people in the hall. Everyone was laughing and chatting in groups of three to five. On the other hand, Meng Chuyuan’s side seemed a little out of place.

Lin Youjuan glanced around the hall and didn’t see her sisters, so she sat down to rest.

However, not long after, a woman walked towards them.

“Juan, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. So you’re here.” The woman was wearing a black dress and had short curly hair. What was more outstanding was her large earrings, which looked very heavy.

Lin Youjuan smiled at the woman and took the initiative to introduce Meng

Chuyuan to her. “This is my eldest daughter-in-law, Meng Chuyuan.”

When the woman approached, she looked up at Meng Chuyuan seriously and said with a smile, “Ah Ye’s wife is quite pretty… I watched Ah Ye grow up. Just call me Third Aunt.”

Meng Chuyuan smiled calmly and said, “Third Aunt.”

Third Aunt Zhao glanced at Lin Youjuan and complained, “We’re all outside.

We’ve been here for a long time. We were looking for you all over the house.”

The Maybach had attracted so much attention just now, causing a commotion. Third Aunt Zhao and the others also knew about it, but they didn’t come to look for Lin Youjuan immediately.

Hearing this, Lin Youjuan tilted her head and looked at Meng Chuyuan, trying to seek her opinion. “Why don’t we go out too?”

Meng Chuyuan said without hesitation, “Sure.”

The two of them followed Third Aunt Zhao to the front yard. There were as many guests as there were inside. When Meng Chuyuan passed by, she still received stares from the people around her.

When they arrived near the pool, the wind there was slightly stronger. Lin Youjuan subconsciously hugged her arms and rubbed them.

Seeing this, Meng Chuyuan took off her shawl and put it on Lin Youjuan. “This shawl is relatively thin, but it can block the wind.”

Lin Youjuan opened her mouth to refuse, but Meng Chuyuan had already put it on her. A voice even interrupted her. “Juan, you’re finally here.”

Out of reflex, Meng Chuyuan raised her head curiously. Her gaze fell on the crowd not too far away. A familiar figure entered her sight..
