The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More

Following Huo Tao’s words, Chen Man took two steps forward with Mo Zhu and took the microphone from the man’s hand. She smiled and said, “This is my Huo family’s prospective daughter-in-law, Mo Zhu. She is still young, please take care of her in the future.”

Mo Zhu stood behind the woman quietly. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she nodded lightly.

After introducing Mo Zhu’s identity, it was time for Chen Man to introduce her to the ladies in the circle.

Chen Man came to the waiter in the main hall and had just picked up a glass of wine when Mo Zhu, who was following closely behind, said, “Auntie, I can’t handle the toasts. Can I not go?”

Hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Chen Man turned around to look at the girl’s young face. She thought quietly for a moment and nodded. “Since you don’t want to go, let’s cancel the toast. You’re still young, so this is not considered impolite.”

Although the toasting segment was very important at the engagement banquet, Chen Man understood her daughter-in-law’s personality. She was unwilling to force the girl to do anything that the girl did not like.

Seeing that Chen Man had agreed, Mo Zhu smiled politely. She turned around and walked straight to her classmates from Class Eight with a glass of fruit juice.

Just as she passed through the crowd and arrived at Class Eight’s territory, Mo Zhu’s sharp eyes saw that the principal, Elder Xu, was also there. Before she could go forward to greet Elder Xu, an ear-piercing female voice suddenly came from behind.

“Sister, you’ve finally gotten what you wanted — to be the publicly recognized fiancée of the Huo Family. I sincerely congratulate you!”

The person who spoke was Fang Ran. She was wearing a light blue pleated dress today and a pair of sandals that looked seven centimeters tall. She was dressed very maturely and lady-like.

As soon as Fang Ran spoke, Jiang Xun, who was standing behind Mo Zhu, rushed over. He frowned unhappily and said with a mocking tone, “Ms. Fang, what are you talking about? Sister Mo had long been Huo Xuan’ fiancée, alright? It’s a happy engagement banquet today, so stop finding trouble for no reason!”

Fang Ran ignored Jiang Xun, who was speaking up for Mo Zhu, and stared intently at the dazzling Mo Zhu in front of her.

“Sister, your friend has really misunderstood me. I have always treated you sincerely. If anything happened previously and you had misunderstood me, I will apologize to you.”

Fang Ran’s tone was perfectly controlled by her, and coupled with her deliberately acting pitiful, if someone with ulterior motives saw her wronged look, they would think that Mo Zhu had bullied her.

When Mo Zhu saw that Fang Ran had started acting as usual, she was not angry. She pulled Jiang Xun back two steps with an expressionless face and stood there coldly to watch Fang Ran perform.

Fang Ran was not a fool. She naturally understood the ridicule in Mo Zhu’s eyes and actions. She lowered her head slightly to hide the ruthlessness in her eyes and rubbed her hands together. “Since you don’t like me so much, I won’t be an eyesore to you. I hope that everything goes smoothly and as you wish it’ll be.”

After saying this, Fang Ran turned around and walked back to Qin Ya’s side.

After staring at the girl’s back for a few seconds, Mo Zhu smiled coldly. She would not believe that this younger sister of hers had come specially to congratulate her. There had to be some hidden intentions behind this.

Once Fang Ran left, Mo Zhu ignored Jiang Xun, who was behind her. She walked straight to Elder Xu with fruit juice in her hand and said, “Principal Xu, you’re here.”

Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s voice, Elder Xu patted the head of a boy beside him. The two of them turned around and saw Mo Zhu behind them.

Elder Xu held his wine glass and nodded with a smile. “I hereby congratulate Ms. Mo. Your outfit today is very nice too, it makes you look really outstanding.”

Mo Zhu also smiled and clinked her glass with Elder Xu’s lightly. “Principal Xu, you’re too polite. This is it?”

Seeing that Mo Zhu took the initiative to speak, Elder Xu stepped forward and introduced, “This is my grandson, Xu Ming.”

The boy in front of Elder Xu was also very obedient. He gently raised his hand and greeted Mo Zhu. He said, “Hello, Ms. Mo…”

Just as Xu Ming finished speaking, before he could say anything else, a middle-aged man who looked rather dignified and donned in a high-end suit walked over quickly.

“Ms. Mo, do you have time to talk to me privately?”

Jiang Yan had been waiting in the main hall since early in the morning and he had just found the girl’s free time.

Nodding, Mo Zhu said a few words to Elder Xu before turning around and bringing Jiang Yan to a secluded and inconspicuous corner.

“Uncle Jiang, why are you looking for me so urgently? Is there something urgent?” Mo Zhu shook the fruit juice in her glass and asked casually.

After checking his surroundings carefully, Jiang Yan lowered his voice and said, “Ms. Mo, there seem to be quite a number of big movements in Beijing these two days. Not only did many forces enter sneakily, but the legendary Love Pavilion killer had appeared as well.”

Love Pavilion’s killer? Cheng Yi wanted to interfere in the matters in Beijing too?

Frowning, Mo Zhu said softly, “I have noted about this, Uncle Jiang. I’ll be more careful!”
