The two chatted with the rich second generation"s friend at the corner of the venue. The rich second generation dicovered that Mo Lanyu was obviously somewhat distracted and he couldn"t help but frown. After a few sentences, the chat ended. He asked Mo Lanyu with some dissatisfaction: "What are you doing, why were you absent-minded just now?"
Mo Lanyu smiled slightly at his dissatisfied expression: "I saw a lot of people gathering over there in the venue, I wonder who has such a great presence."
The rich second generation likes her appearance. When he saw Mo Lanyu"s gentle and magnanimous appearance, he immediately cast aside the subtle dissatisfaction in his heart. Then he continued where she left off, saying half-jokingly: "A big shot probably showed up. Let"s go, we should also join in the fun. Small fries like us can"t find a topic to communicate with them, but it"s also good to take a look at what the mien of a big shot is like." This rich second generation"s family has money, but they just run an average small business. In G city, where business tyc.o.o.ns gather, they can"t even enter the top 20. He is also very self-aware about this. Knowing that he isn"t qualified, he won"t brag for the sake of face in front of the person he likes.
Mo Lanyu heard his words. Although she still maintained a faint smile on the surface, her heart was already somewhat unhappy. Even though she hasn"t made a name for herself right now, according to her talent, she will reach greater heights one day sooner or later. So she never felt inferior like the rich second generation. However, it"s not necessary to explain these things clearly with her temporary male partner. After all, aside from this banquet, they probably won"t have any other intersections in the future.
Mo Lanyu remembered the purpose of coming here this time and couldn"t really suppress her inner hope. The person who can cause such a big commotion at this place is definitely the one that she wish to meet!
She followed the rich second generation and walked through the crowd in venue. As the distance shortened, the figure that she thought of day and night appeared before her eyes.
Currently, the man is in the center of the crowd with his side facing her as he talks to someone. The pitch black hair is combed up neatly, revealing a bright and smooth forehead, which makes his features even more profound and charming. He has a gla.s.s of red wine in his left hand and takes a sip from time to time, the gesture is leisurely and elegant. He seems to be in a good mood. Although there"s still no smile on his face, he lacks the usual coldness and seriousness.
Mo Yuyu couldn"t help but look at that man with infatuation in her eyes.
The people around him want to get close to him, but apart from the host of tonight"s banquet and several important business big shots, the rest didn"t dare to hastily go forward due to their status, but they are still unwilling to leave. They can only linger around and sneak a peak every now and then, as if it"s also good to just take a look.
The rich second generation and Mo Lanyu are also members of this group. The rich second generation noticed that Mo Lanyu watched Mo Yitao with a focused gaze and his heart gradually felt slightly odd, but when he thought of it again, it"s normal for someone like Mo"s family head to attract other people"s attention wherever he goes. When he followed his father back then and met Mo Yitao for the first time, he was also stunned.
Undoubtedly, this man is the focus of tonight"s banquet. Even if everyone is concerned with the host"s face and didn"t dare to make it too obvious, the original protagonist of this banquet—the entrepreneur"s only son—already had his limelight stolen. However, the host"s family weren"t annoyed. With a cheerful appearance, he greeted Mo Yitao in front of the onlookers.
"Mr. Mo, how rare, you have a companion today." The host is slightly chubby and looks friendly. He said jokingly to Mo Yitao: "Why don"t you introduce us to the handsome little young master* next to you?"

Mo Lanyu c.o.c.ked her ears to listen to the situation over at Mo Yitao"s side. She faintly heard "have a companion" and instantly felt a bolt from the blue*! *thunder from a clear sky (idiom)
How can it be! Mo Yitao is known for not being close to women. He has never brought a female companion to any of the various occasions that he went to so far. He actually brought someone today, could it be that he took that person"s bait*? ! !
