Chapter 78

Sima Qi looked up and saw that Zhang Rong and Mu Xiao were looking at her simultaneously.Zhang Rong had been defeated by the Veiled Queen on the stage previously. This time, she had intentionally asked the Mu family to invite her over.On one hand, it was humiliating But on the other hand, she wanted Sima Qi to see her and Mu Xiao together, so that she could irritate Sima Qi.Mu Xiao only thought that the Veiled Queen’s appearance here was just a coincidence.Zhang Rong, on the other hand, looked at Sima Qi provocatively. “Miss Veiled, we meet again.”Sima Qi smiled in reply. “Miss Zhang.”Although the two of them maintained a polite expression on the surface, there was even a sense of distance between them.Zhang Rong smiled and said, “Today, brother Mu Xiao has officially returned to the Mu family. Since it was such an important occasion, I was the one who asked someone to invite you over to sing. After all, everyone here is part of the nobility. An ordinary singer could not possibly grace such an important stage.”This sentence seemed to compliment the other party, but in reality, what Zhang Rong was saying to Sima Qi was, ‘Look, Mu Xiao is part of the nobility now. It’s a pity that he’s mine now. You, Sima Qi, can go and be filled with envy, jealousy, and regret.”Sima Qi raised her glass and smiled at Zhang Rong. “Congratulations then. I wish you two a happy marriage for a hundred years and may you never be separated for the rest of your lives!”Sima Qi’s words stunned Zhang Rong. She stared at Sima Qi, trying to see a hint of jealousy and embarrassment under the veil.Unfortunately, because of the veil, she could not see anything.Mu Xiao did not recognize her at all and even thanked Sima Qi.After Sima Qi had taken a sip of wine, she turned around to leave.The expression on Zhang Rong’s face was not pleasant. She had not achieved her goal yet, so how could she be willing to let her leave just like that?Sima Qi knew it was inappropriate to stay here for long, so she hurriedly left.Unexpectedly, however, someone suddenly pushed her from behind.Sima Qi fell forward. The half-full glass of wine in her hand suddenly spilled all over the man in front of her.There were cries of surprise from all around.”I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Sima Qi hurriedly apologized. When she turned around, she could not tell who had pushed her just now.”Oh, my god! She’s going to be in big trouble!””Young Master Mu’s clothes are all wet.”Gasps could be heard from all around.Only then did Sima Qi realize that the man with a gloomy expression was the Mu family’s Young Master, Mu Ye.”Did you think you could put this matter behind you with an apology? Dream on!”Mu Ye looked at Sima Qi coldly.His chest was completely wet. This woman had embarrassed him so much on such an important occasion. She could not just let it go.Sima Qi forced herself to calm down and looked at him through the veil. “Young Master Mu, why don’t I compensate you with a piece of clothing?””Do I look like I would be lacking a piece of clothing?” Mu Ye sneered. “How about this? You drink three glasses of wine to atone for your wrongdoing, and I won’t pursue the matter further.”The waiter quickly filled up three large glasses with strong alcohol.If Sima Qi drank even one glass, she would still collapse, what more if it was three glasses?Wasn’t he just trying to make life difficult for her?She had not expected the Mu family to be so unreasonable.Sima Qi’s eyes flashed, and she quickly said, “Sure!”As she said this, she reached for a glass of wine.Off to the side, Zhang Rong was looking on with an excited expression.When Sima Qi became drunk, she acted crazily and embarrassed herself. There would then be a good show to watch.Sima Qi raised her head and took a few sips. Suddenly, she clutched her stomach in pain.Mu Ye was stunned for a moment. “What’s with the expression on your face? Are you implying that my Mu family’s wine is poisoned?”Sima Qi shook her head, looking embarrassed. “I’m sorry, Young Master Mu, I suddenly have a personal emergency. Can you let me relieve myself first? I really can’t hold it in anymore!”Sima Qi held her stomach as her voice was stifled as well.She looked extremely anxious, as if she was about to solve the problem on the spot.Mu Ye hurriedly said, “Go quickly then!”If the Veiled Queen really could not hold it in any longer, the entire banquet would be ruined by this woman.It would be the Mu family who would be humiliated.Sima Qi nodded in gratitude and ran towards the corridor with her head lowered.She disappeared very quickly.Mu Ye’s expression relaxed and he couldn’t help but snort, “How unlucky!”When that woman returned, he would definitely punish her properly.However, he waited and waited, but she did not return.Sima Qi sent a message to Little Tian, telling her to leave quickly.The two of them met at the door.”Sister, are you going back now?””Yes, hurry up.” Sima Qi quickly took a taxi and left with her assistant.She would not be so stupid as to go back and drink those three glasses of wine.It was was best for her to run away.Surely the dignified Young Master of the Mu family would not send someone after her just because of three glasses of wine.After all, the nobility tended to forget things. So, she hoped that they would forget about her.Meanwhile, many people had completely forgotten about the Veiled Queen at the banquet venue.Only Zhang Rong and the Young Master of the Mu family waited for a while.”Where is she?” Mu Ye sent someone to check on her. When that person returned, he shook his head. “She’s not here anymore!”Mu Ye sneered. “She’d better not fall into my hands in the future.”He also hurriedly changed his clothes. When he returned to the banquet, he immediately walked in the direction of his brothers.Mu Xiao, this illegitimate child, was publicly acknowledged by the Mu family.Mu Xiao’s entertainment company had the support of the Mu family. The profile of their whole company had risen, and even the stock price had risen greatly.
