The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More

As if she didn’t expect the man to suddenly say this, Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Young Master Huo even wants to control what I’m wearing? Aren’t you being too nosy?”

Upon hearing the hidden provocation in Mo Zhu’s words, Huo Xuan smiled and replied, “I can’t control others, but I can at least interject and say something to my own fiancée, right?”

Mo Zhu looked up and met the man’s gaze. She pouted and said, “Then you’ve wronged me. These are the clothes that Auntie chose for me. From my hairstyle to the shoes on my feet, they are all Auntie’s orders.”

He half hugged Mo Zhu and turned around to walk towards the banquet hall. Huo Xuan grumbled unhurriedly, “I don’t care about that. In any case, you can only wear such clothes in front of me in the future.”

When Mo Zhu heard this, she sniggered at Huo Xuan’s childishness and obediently followed the man into the banquet hall.

Because everyone had seen Huo Xuan before, the two of them arrived at the main hall without any obstructions.

Fang Ran, who was standing at one side of the main hall and looking around, was instantly attracted by Mo Zhu’s beautiful appearance. The girl was hiding behind a stereo on a side table that was playing a soothing piano song. Her eyes, which seemed to be filled with poison, were staring intently at Mo Zhu, who was not far away from her.

As Mo Zhu’s natal family, the Fang family had sent Matriarch Fang, Qin Ya, and Fang Ran. Although Mo Zhu had unilaterally severed ties with the Fang family because of the unhappiness previously, due to Mo Zhu’s awkward status, Huo Tao had sent the Fang family an invitation to the engagement banquet a few days ago.

At this moment, Matriarch Fang had also noticed Mo Zhu entering the venue. Her eyes widened instantly.

As if she was shocked by the girl’s stunning appearance, Matriarch Fang grabbed Qin Ya’s hand and asked in surprise, “Xiao Ya, take a look and see if that person is Mo Zhu?”

Looking in the direction where the Matriarch was pointing, Qin Ya recognized Mo Zhu at a glance. She was her own daughter no matter what. Now that she saw Mo Zhu in this outfit, Qin Ya could not believe it and she had mixed feelings. She did not know how to describe her current mood. She did not expect her daughter, who she had raised in the countryside and did not care about, to have such a stunning side!

At that moment, just as Mo Zhu stepped into the main hall, she heard a series of exclamations.

“Look! Look! Isn’t that Sister Mo over there! Oh my god, Sister Mo looks so good in the dress. She’s like a fairy that has descended to the mortal world!”

“Boohoo, it really looks like Sister Mo! She’s too beautiful. As a girl, I can’t help but fall in love with her!”

“I didn’t expect Sister Mo to have such a day. I was really blind previously. Looking at Sister Mo and Young Master Huo’s appearance, they’re simply the perfect match. If anyone wants to break them up, I’ll be the first to disagree!”

As she followed the voice, Mo Zhu immediately saw Meng Ran and the other students of Class Eight looking at her with little stars in their eyes. She turned around and told Huo Xuan where she was going. Then, she held her dress up and walked quickly to the crowd.

“I didn’t expect you guys to come as well. However, I might be a little busy later and won’t be able to look out for you. If you want to eat or drink anything, just ask the Huo family’s servants who are dressed in black in the banquet hall. I’ve already told them in advance!” Mo Zhu’s voice had not much emotion in it. Before Meng Ran could react, she raised her hand and ruffled the girl’s fluffy hair.

Nodding his head in a daze, Jiang Xun stood behind Meng Ran and took the initiative to agree on behalf of the others in Class Eight. “Sister Mo, go ahead and busy yourself. I’ll take care of things here! I guarantee that everyone will eat, drink, and play well!”

Mo Zhu was at ease when Jiang Xun was the one handling the matters. She raised her brows before she instructed. “Then I’ll hand this place to you. After the banquet ends, arrange a car for everyone to return together. Don’t let anything bad happen!”

After saying this, Mo Zhu didn’t stand on ceremony with the students of Class Eight. She turned around and returned to the crowd to look for Huo Xuan.

Chen Man had suggested inviting the students from Class Eight. Previously, when she had attended the parent-teacher meeting in the place of her grandmother, she remembered that Mo Zhu and her deskmate seemed to be good friends.

Besides, her daughter-in-law had just arrived in Cloud City and did not have any relatives by her side. She must have a good relationship with her classmates. With this group of classmates, the banquet might be more lively.

In a few minutes, Mo Zhu found Chen Man and Huo Xuan’s location. She quickly walked up to them and looked around calmly.

Apart from the group of students from Class Eight who did not have any background, almost all the people who came today were influential figures in Cloud City. Even the principal of Jingyang High School, Elder Xu, was invited. Mo Zhu lowered her eyes. Since everyone was giving them so much support, it seemed like they sensed the importance the Huo family attached to this engagement banquet.

At this moment, Chen Man, who was standing quietly by the side, turned around and smiled at Mo Zhu before giving Huo Tao a look that said, ‘You can start now.’

The man received Chen Man’s signal and came to the equipment table to get a microphone. Huo Tao slowly walked to the center of the main hall, cleared his throat with a loud voice and said, “I, Huo Tao, am extremely grateful to all of you for coming to my son’s engagement banquet today. Next, I’ll get my wife to introduce my future daughter-in-law, Mo Zhu.”
