Qin Mu hated everyone in the Chu family.
Especially Chu Jingyun. It was her appearance that destroyed her family.
Qin Mu did not even want to go to the Chu Family house to attend Chu Rou's silly birthday party.
They had just argued at the 9th Mansion. She was sure that Chu Rou would not want to see her as well.
Qin Mu intended to go to the internet cafe with Song Ruoci after school on Friday to play.
"Right, where's Yan Xun?" Qin Mu looked around. Yan Xun was not with them.
"He went home. His dad has been a little stricter with him lately."
*********
Qin Mu had just left school when Qin Zezhang's car stopped at the door. Qin Zezhang's secretary Shi Wei stopped her.
Qin Mu pretended not to see or hear them. The moment she stepped out, she turned left and walked.
Song Ruoci said softly by her ear, "Tian Tian, isn't that your dad's secretary?"
Before, Qin Mu had gotten into trouble several times in school. Qin Zezhang was too busy to come, so it was always handled by Shi Wei.
After coming often, Song Ruoci had seen him often too, so she recognized him now.
Qin Mu made an 'mm' sound and held Song Ruoci's arm as she walked forward. She had no intention to stop.
Shi Wei caught up in a few steps, blocking their way. "Second Young Lady, Master is waiting for you in the car!"
Qin Mu raised her eyebrows, not expecting Qin Zezhang to come over in person. "I'm not going!"
He did not dare to get off the car, and he let Uncle Shi do it.
He would only think of this daughter when he was trying to please the Chu Family.
Qin Mu was even more unwilling to attend Chu Rou's birthday party now.
Shi Wei understood Qin Mu's temper. If he forced her, the outcome would be the opposite of what they wanted.
"Second Young Lady, Old Master has said that if you don't attend Miss Chu's birthday party, then he will not give you your monthly allowances from now on."
Qin Mu exploded in rage upon hearing that. "WHAT!"
"Second Young Lady, just come with us!"
"…"
No matter how she disliked Chu Rou, she could not let money off.
Qin Mu followed Shi Wei into the car unwillingly.
When she opened the car door, she saw Qin Zezhang's old face. She did not even greet him, and she just sat in the back seat.
Qin Zezhang was so mad that his face turned blue. He opened his mouth and was ready to scold Qin Mu for it, but when he turned his head, he saw his daughter's sulky face. So he bore with it.
************
Before going to the Chu Family house, Qin Zezhang took her to a women's clothing store to buy some clothes.
Qin Mu looked awkwardly at herself in the mirror. A light pink dress and long black hair draped over her shoulders. She had no makeup on today, and her pale and tender face was pink. She looked gorgeous.
Honestly, she had not worn such a pink and cute dress for years. She did not even feel good looking at herself in it, let alone Qin Zezhang.
Qin Zezhang was very pleased with Qin Mu's appearance. She finally looked like the daughter of someone rich.
Qin Mu did not like such pink cute dresses. She looked like a second Qin Sichu.
She frowned and was just about to reject the idea when Shi Wei hinted at her with his eyes.
Qin Mu was livid. Isn't it just some pocket money? She would earn them herself sooner or later.
*************
Today was Chu Rou's 25th birthday. The Chu Family made big arrangements for it.
They invited a lot of popular and wealthy gentlemen from City An over, and there were many beautiful young and rich ladies as well.
On the surface, it seemed like they were there to celebrate Chu Rou's 25th birthday, but deep down, they were all here to find a match.
The Chu Family wanted to use this opportunity to level up Chu Rou and help her find a good husband.
Qin Mu followed Qin Zezhang. She really did not understand why he had to bring her over.
Qin Mu did not want to go in with him. 'Mr. Qin, no matter what, you are the son-in-law of the Chu Family. It's not good for me to enter with you, right? We can just pretend that we don't know each other and have our own meals."
I don't want to embarrass you in front of everyone.
