    Qiao Ruoxin changed into a loose chiffon dress, her gentle andzy big wavy curls falling behind her, paired with a pair of t shoes.


    She no longer had the privilege of wearing high heels, as the Mo Family could find countless reasons to prevent her from wearing them. Fortunately, her height was adequate even without high heels.


    The car slowly stopped outside a garden vi in the suburbs, the location of tonight’s party.


    “Miss Qiao has arrived,” the driver said.


    She acknowledged with a sound and then got out of the car.


    The number of bodyguards increased today due to yesterday’s incident, and there were several female bodyguards to protect her closely.


    No sooner had she arrived than she caught everyone’s attention.


    Song Yingying came towards her, full of confidence, “Dear, you’re finally here, I was about to cry…”


    Song Yingying wanted to give her a big hug, but was stopped by the indifferent female bodyguards.


    “This is my friend.” When she looked at the bodyguard, the bodyguard withdrew her arm.


    Song Yingying’s face changed color as she was frightened, stepping forward to embrace her, “You’re really ady of high society now, leaving the house with so many bodyguards. Is your Mr. Mo exaggerating a bit?”


    She whispered something into Song Yingying’s ear, leaving Yingying with a face full of surprise, “You… No wonder. Look at you, gaining status through your child?”


    “idental, okay?”


    She had not nned to get pregnant so early at all.


    “Anyway, you seem to have secured your position as Mrs. Mo now. I still have to work hard.”


    Qiao Ruoxin smiled without speaking, and the moment she looked up, she saw two annoying people, the Lu sisters, and her smile gradually faded.


    “Why are the Lu sisters here too?”


    Song Yingying: “It’s said they have a good rtionship with the host here and were invited.”


    “Well, where is that director you wanted to meet? Let’s get on with our business first.”


    Song Yingying’s eyes lit up, “You’re still the best to me, Qiao! Look over there, that person chatting with the Lu sisters, the youngest female director in the country, but with impressive achievements.”


    She slightly curled her lips, “Let’s go say hello then. I’ll only introduce you, the rest is up to you.”


    “Yes, yes, yes! Thank you so much!” Song Yingying nodded repeatedly, grateful just to be introduced, and knowing the rest was up to her to strive for.


    Qiao Ruoxin and Song Yingying walked over, and Lu Xingxing caught sight of her, feeling a tingling hatred.


    “Qiao Ruoxin?” The female director recognized her instantly, calling out her name directly.


    She had been known under Mo Chen’s name all along, his only ex-girlfriend, his only woman, his only pure love—and everyone was aware of it.


    But in the past half-year since she entered the entertainment industry, she managed to establish her own reputation, so that many people who saw her would think not only of Mr. Mo’s woman but also of her own name and identity.


    “Hello, Director, I’m Qiao Ruoxin, and this is my friend Song Yingying. We’ve heard so much about you and have been wanting to meet you.”


    “Is that so? I’d like to meet you too. I want to meet all the beautiful actresses,” the female director was very amiable with no airs, and they chatted pleasantly.


    Latter, Qiao Ruoxin created an opportunity for the female director and Song Yingying to chat alone to the side.


    She herself slowly sipped orange juice alone.


    That’s when Lu Xingxing approached her again, “You’re still in the mood to help others here, while your man is about to be a murderer.”


    Qiao Ruoxin nced at her dispassionately, “Shouldn’t you be happy about that?”


    “What’s there for me to be happy about! I feel nothing but heartache for Mo Chen; he’s blinded himself. You are his one and only choice, but to be honest, I really don’t know why Mo Chen likes you. Besides being somewhat good-looking, what else do you have?”


    Lu Xingxing was utterly bewildered. She thought that Mo Chen shouldn’t be a superficial man, but rather someone who prioritizes the bigger picture. How could he be dazzled by mere beauty?


    “Why are you thinking so much? Anyway, even without me, Mo Chen would never choose you.”


    Her arrogant tone and haughty look in her eyes gave Lu Xingxing an urge to tear her to pieces.


    “I get it now, did you cast some kind of spell on Mo Chen? Aren’t there female stars in the entertainment industry who keep ‘Little Ghosts’ or something? Are you keeping one too? You female stars really would stop at nothing to marry into a wealthy family!”


    Qiao Ruoxin was so angered she almostughed: “Your imagination really is quite rich. Why don’t you keep one yourself and snatch Mo Chen back?”


    With that said, she turned around, no longer wanting to waste words with Lu Xingxing.


    “Qiao Ruoxin,e back here! I haven’t finished talking to you…”


    Lu Xingxing was about to follow her but was blocked by two female bodyguards.


    “What’s this! Even you dare to bully me now?” Lu Xingxing shouted angrily.


    The female bodyguard responded, “We are simply following Mr. Mo’s orders. Please do not approach Miss Qiao, or you will be responsible for the consequences.”


    “Responsible for the consequences? What are you going to do,y a hand on me? I can’t bully Qiao Ruoxin, but I can’t bully you either?”


    Saying this, Lu Xingxing raised her arm, ready to p them down.


    “Xingxing! What are you causing a scene for! Come back with me!” Lu Feifei hurried over just in time to pull back her blockheaded younger sister.


    “Sister, look at her! Even the Mo Family’s bodyguards dare to bully me now!”


    Many strange looks were already being cast their way, and Lu Feifei had no choice but to forcefully drag Lu Xingxing away from there.


    Lu Feifei stuffed her sister into the car, feeling utterly humiliated. She couldn’t bear to stay any longer, so she decided to leave with her.


    Just as Lu Feifei was about to get into the car, her phone in her handbag rang. She took it out to see that it was an unfamiliar number.


    After hesitating for a moment, Lu Feifei answered the call, “This is Lu Feifei, may I ask who’s speaking?”


    “Miss Lu, good day. I am Annie, the secretary of Mr. Lawrence. Mr. Lawrence would like to meet with you. When would you be avable?”


    A sh of surprise crossed Lu Feifei’s eyes.


    The Lawrence Family from the United States? How did they find her?


    After a few seconds of silence, Lu Feifei said, “Sure, I have time now. Where shall we meet?”


    “Good, I’ll send you the address.”


    …


    Qiao Ruoxin stayed at the party for a while, then said goodbye to Song Yingying and left.


    After returning to the manor, an unfamiliar woman came forward with a ss of milk, “Miss Qiao, hello, I am Linda, the new nutritionist, specifically in charge of your nutritional diet during your pregnancy.”


    “Hello.” She observed the nutritionist before her, feeling that something was off.


    “Miss Qiao, please drink this ss of milk; it helps with sleep.”


    “I’d rather not have milk at night; I might drink it tomorrow morning.”


    She went straight up the elevator.


    Linda watched with a smile as the elevator doors closed, but as her smile faded, her eyes revealed a lurking malevolence.
