Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: Yuan... Mommy Was Wrong, Mommy Is Sorry! [3]

Seeing her hand about to touch Yan Xinxin’s pure, gentle face, Ning Zitong felt a surge of excitement.

However, in the next moment, Yan Xinxin sneered lightly and turned away to avoid it.

"Mrs. Mu, you should pose this question to your daughter, Mu Qianyuan, not me."

Yan Xinxin smiled, a hint of sarcasm flickering in her bright, starry eyes.

"I don’t have a mother like Mrs. Mu, a wealthy, noble lady. I’m no longer the Mu family’s heiress I once believed myself to be. I cannot answer your question."

She turned around as she spoke.

"Mrs. Mu, don’t cry for too long. It’s bad for your health. I think your daughter Mu Qianyuan would be heartbroken to see it."

"Really?"

Ning Zitong, upon hearing this, looked excitedly at Yan Xinxin’s back.

"Would my little Yuan really be heartbroken?"

Yan Xinxin turned her head slightly, giving Ning Zitong a cold, indifferent side glance. The smile on her lips was full of mockery.

"As I just said, I am not your daughter. You should ask your daughter Mu Qianyuan that question."

She finished coldly and elegantly turned away without lingering.

Ning Zitong watched the beautifully graceful back of Yan Xinxin, recalling her earlier words, and her heart ached worse than any past angina attack, feeling more suffocated and distressed.

She hastily wiped away her tears, quickly splashing water on her face, then rushed out to chase Yan Xinxin.

Yan Xinxin had just crossed the corridor and reached the entrance of the banquet hall, witnessing Gu Jianling approaching Mo Chuxi arrogantly.

"Young Master Mo, I heard that when you were young, you had a childhood engagement with my goddaughter Qianyuan, and you promised her that when you grew up, you would definitely marry her as your bride. But now..."

Gu Jianling looked at Mo Chuxi with a mocking smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you all know that this Young Master Mo half a year ago married a woman named Yan Xinxin, completely abandoning Mu Qianyuan, who once fell off a cliff and wandered for 18 years to save him."

The man insinuated and mocked Mo Chuxi’s character, followed by a chuckle.

"Tsk tsk, Young Master Mo, I heard that you even made an eternal promise to that low-status, poor, and shabby Lady Yan in front of the whole world. For a man as fickle as you, it sure took a lot of courage for Lady Yan to marry you. I suppose she’s eyeing your inheritance after your demise!"

"Even if you die, my husband won’t die!"

Just as Gu Jianling’s provocative words landed, Yan Xinxin’s sweet, pleasant voice followed.

Mu Qianshui’s face darkened, her gaze filled with hatred as she stared intently at Yan Xinxin.

Yan Xinxin walked gracefully, the hem of her chiffon dress dancing lightly with every step.

She smiled slightly, composed and proud.

"Mr. Gu, I think you’re almost fifty, and according to what your goddaughter says, you have quite a reputation and achievements in various countries, don’t you?"

"That’s right!"

Mu Qianshui stepped forward, gazing directly at Yan Xinxin.

"My godfather is accomplished, so what if he’s almost fifty?"

"Not much."

Yan Xinxin calmly parted her lips, speaking as she walked towards the man smiling at her. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"I just wanted to say, for someone so accomplished and mature, it’s surprising you don’t even understand basic manners. Saying such vulgar words on such an occasion and feeling so pleased about it, it’s truly eye-opening."

"..."

Gu Jianling and Mu Qianshui’s faces darkened simultaneously, while Yan Xinxin walked to Mo Chuxi’s side as her words fell, taking his arm, her eyes lifting gently.

"I heard that this Mr. Gu even boasted about dominating all of An City, fantasizing about taking over Di Jue, eliminating my husband, and becoming the number one ruler of An City. This is incredibly fanciful, even more naive than my son!"
