Chapter 68 Enemies were bound to meet
The banquet to introduce Mo Xiangyan was held as scheduled. The friends and relatives invited by the Mo’s family came to the banquet hall one after another at the appointed time.
Standing next to the mirror in the bathroom, Gu Yan took a few deep breaths, fixed her make-up, and stiffly curved mouth to practice smile.
She wore a white gauze skirt of ankle length, revealing her fascinating shanks. And her long hair was tied up neatly, revealing a long neck.
She didn’t know why she was so nervous. Since she received the message from Mo Yichen, she had been absent-minded.
After Chen Qian came to her on that day, she subconsciously avoided the contact with Mo Yichen. But out of her expectation, the first contact between them after many days was his invitation for his son’s banquet.
There was always a strange feeling in her mind which made her uncomfortable.
Just as she was about to leave the bathroom, a woman suddenly entered.
The woman’s long curly hair was scattered, revealing her good figure. However, her delicate makeup looked affected.
Without recognizing who the woman was, Gu Yan thought, “It seems that I’m not the only one who’s nervous.”
“Hey! What are you doing here?”
A familiar voice sounded behind Gu Yan.
Gu Yan turned around and thought, “Isn’t she the fiancée of Mo Yichen? We had met in the past few days.”
She felt more discontented, especially after Chen Qian looked her up and down, which made her very uneasy.
“I was invited.” Gu Yan was going to leave.
But Chen Qian grabbed her wrist.
“Hey, wait. Watch your mouth! I haven’t finished yet.” Chen Qian really hated Gu Yan’s affected loftiness.
“I have said everything I want to say that day, I believe you know it clearly. We’d better pretend to be unacquainted.”
Gu Yan’s tone showed clearly that she had no time and patience for Chen Qian.
“Do you think I want to have something to do with you? But you appear in the place where you shouldn’t be. Well, what should I do?” Chen Qian said as she walked around Gu Yan.
Her red lips reflected her viciousness vividly.
“It can be seen that she did not intend to let me go.” Gu Yan thought and then closed her eyes to keep calm, “I say it again. I am invited. You are doing well in every way. What makes you think that I pose a threat to you? You might as well pay more attention to please Mo Yichen. I’m leaving now.”
Gu Yan pushed Chen Qian who stood in front of her away and walked out with her head holding high.
“People who do not want to meet each other will surely meet. Since I knew that Chen Qian was here, why do I come to the banquet?” Gu Yan showed a forced smile.
Standing in the bathroom, Chen Qian stamped her feet angrily.
“I did not expect that Gu Yan was here! It was Mo Yichen who invited her. Well, don’t blame me for deliberately making trouble.”
The guests toasted each other, producing a harmonious atmosphere in the banquet.
Looking around with satisfaction in the banquet hall, Li Yunhong nodded to Mo Yichen to take the child from the nanny Li Ling, and then they stepped onto the stage together.
“Good evening everyone, I really appreciate it that all of you could make time to attend our banquet.”
When Mo Yichen’s clear voice sounded throughout the hall, everyone’s attention was attracted.
Holding the child who was babbling, Li Yunhong was radiant with joy and excitement.
“I hold the banquet to introduce the child in my mother’s arms. He is Mo Xiangyan, my son.”
Mo Yichen stood in front of all guests and spoke slowly.
“What?”
“When did you have a child? You even don’t get married.”
Mo Yichen’s words were like a bomb thrown into deep water, igniting the discussion in the whole banquet.
Sitting in the corner, Gu Yan quietly looked at the man on the stage. She could feel Mo Yichen had gazed upon her.
“It turned out that he is Mo Yichen’s child. He looks very cute.” Gu Yan thought.
“The child’s mother has passed away, and there’s no need to discuss about it. Thank you all. Enjoy yourself.”
Mo Yichen said coldly, ending the doubts of everyone, and took the child back to the next room.
“He probably went to feed the child.” Gu Yan thought.
It was until Mo Yichen disappeared in her sight that she turned around.
But she did not notice that Chen Qian had always been paying attention to her.
Chen Qian hated everything about Gu Yan, including Mo Yichen’s attention to her.
After a while, an idea came in Chen Qian’s mind.
With a harmless smile, Chen Qian walked to Gu Yan with a glass of red wine.
Seeing Chen Qian walked to her, Gu Yan was prepared to get up and avoid contact with Chen Qian. But out of her expectation, Chen Qian staggered deliberately, and spilled a glass of red wine on her white evening dress.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Looking that the red liquid soaked her clothes, Gu Yan lost her temper for a moment, and screamed out softly.
People around them noticed the noise here, and looked at them.
“I am so sorry. I spilled it accidentally.” Chen Qian apologized in a very weird tone with a glow in her eyes.
Seeing that a lot of people were looking at her, Gu Yan tried hard to hold back her anger. She thought, “I can’t make the situation more tense. I had hoped to be an invisible person. It’s clear that Chen Qian made me look bad on purpose so I can’t let her succeed.”
“Chen Qian, don’t go too far.” Gu Yan lowered her voice.
“Go too far? What did I do? I just spilled it on you accidentally. It’s not as dirty as you are, is it?”
Chen Qian crossed her arms with defiant expression.
Her voice was louder, and attracted more and more people’s attention.
Coming out of the room, Li Yunhong saw the noise here. She quickly came over to see who was making trouble on her banquet.
“Everyone knows that you are Wen Yunfeng’s ex-wife. When your husband’s business was bleak and he needed your help, you had sex with other man and gave birth to a child. Now you dare to seduce Mo Yichen. I advise you not to come here with such a bad reputation.”
Chen Qian did not show her any kindness. The more people looked at them, the louder she spoke. She must make Gu Yan shrink back from difficulties and never dare to appear in front of her.
Looking at the people pointing to her, Gu Yan clenched her fists tightly and bit her lips which turned white.
“How could this kind of women come here!” Li Yunhong said suddenly.
