Chapter 6 Framed
"Xiaoyu, you seem a little different today than usual."
Wu Qianru wore a stiff smile, which she thought she had concealed well, but the jealousy in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.
It's always the same; whenever Mu Xiaoyu appears, she always manages to steal everything she wants!
Mu Xiaoyu did not answer Wu Qianru's question. Her bright eyes subtly sized Wu Qianru up and down, then she chuckled and looked at Wu Qianru with a meaningful gaze, saying, "People always have to learn to change. If you stop moving forward, how can you be true to yourself?"
Her smile made her fair face glow with a dazzling light, making her look even more vibrant and captivating.
Wu Qianru's smile was almost impossible to maintain; she felt that Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat different from before. She knew exactly what Mu Xiaoyu was thinking before, and dealing with her wouldn't require any particularly drastic measures.
But the current Mu Xiaoyu was someone she couldn't figure out. Not only that, but a chill she had never felt before crept into her heart.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but before she could utter a word, Li Chenxu, who had been silent all along, suddenly glanced at her. His deep eyes were as terrifying as a bottomless pool, carrying a chilling coldness that instantly made Wu Qianru swallow back the words she was about to say.
That's just how Li Chenxu is. Sometimes he doesn't even need to say a word; a single glance is enough to send chills down your spine.
Wu Qianru didn't dare to speak, and didn't even have the courage to look at Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu again.
"Let's go there."
Li Chenxu withdrew his gaze from Wu Qianru and spoke calmly to Mu Xiaoyu beside him. Compared to his previous coldness and domineering manner, Li Chenxu's tone was much gentler now.
Mu Xiaoyu softly hummed in agreement and obediently took Li Chenxu's arm. Since it was all just an act, and Li Chenxu could perform so convincingly, she naturally couldn't fall behind.
Furthermore, she was quite satisfied with everything that happened tonight. Seeing Wu Qianru's discomfiture, the resentment that had been festering in her heart suddenly felt much better.
This is just the beginning. If Wu Qianru behaves herself, she might not do anything. But if she doesn't behave, she won't be polite.
Having been reborn, she is no longer the Mu Xiaoyu who could be easily manipulated by others!
Li Chenxu was handsome and, with his powerful family background, he was a dazzling presence wherever he went. Tonight, Mu Xiaoyu was also dressed exceptionally well; no matter where they went in the banquet, most people's eyes would follow them. A handsome man and a beautiful woman—it's pleasing to the eye; who wouldn't like them?
Wu Qianru watched them intently from the corner, and she was especially consumed by jealousy when she saw Mu Xiaoyu calmly and confidently facing those big bosses who were exchanging pleasantries.
Why? Why can Mu Xiaoyu get everything she wants so easily, while she can't even get it even if she tries her best?
No one knew what Wu Qianru was thinking. After a while, she suddenly laughed. The laugh was very faint and fleeting, almost too fleeting to catch.
The next moment, Wu Qianru, holding champagne, walked step by step toward Mu Xiaoyu.
At this moment, Li Chenxu was discussing business matters with some bigwigs in the business world. Mu Xiaoyu was just a comic artist, so she had no idea what business matters were.
Although she maintained a polite smile and appeared to be listening attentively, her thoughts had already drifted far away, so she didn't notice Wu Qianru walking towards them at all.
Li Chenxu did notice her, but he didn't take Wu Qianru seriously at all. He only glanced at her before looking away.
Just then, Wu Qianru cried out in pain, and the next moment, she swayed and spilled the champagne in her hand directly onto Mu Xiaoyu's dress.
It was the height of summer, so Mu Xiaoyu's dress wasn't too thick. After pouring a glass of champagne, the ambiguous traces of her passionate lovemaking with Li Chenxu last night were instantly revealed.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. Xiaoyu, are you alright? Let me wipe it for you..."
Wu Qianru spoke in a panic, not giving Mu Xiaoyu a chance to speak. She hurriedly took a tissue and wiped the stains off Mu Xiaoyu's body. Whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally, she unbuttoned Mu Xiaoyu's collar while wiping.
Originally, because of that glass of champagne, the ambiguous marks on Mu Xiaoyu's body had already become apparent, though they weren't very obvious and wouldn't be noticeable unless you looked closely. However, now that Wu Qianru had done this, those ambiguous marks were immediately and clearly revealed to everyone.
Some people who weren't good at hiding their feelings gasped when they saw the suggestive marks on Mu Xiaoyu's body, and their gazes toward Mu Xiaoyu immediately turned to scrutiny and disdain.
Among the wealthy wives of the upper class, the most taboo thing is a woman with an immoral private life. If all those marks on Mu Xiaoyu's body were caused by Li Chenxu, then it wouldn't matter. After all, they are a legally married couple, and it's normal for them to do those things.
But if not, then things would get interesting. Her husband, Li Chenxu, is still right beside her, and she's been cuckolded like this—where would she put her face then?
You should know that few people dare to offend someone like Li Chenxu. Even if Mu Xiaoyu is his lawfully wedded wife, she probably won't have a good ending after doing something like this.
Wu Qianru was planning exactly that. Mu Xiaoyu had already stolen the spotlight today, so now she would let Mu Xiaoyu steal the spotlight completely.
Those ambiguous marks on her body were from her affair with someone else. She didn't believe that Li Chenxu would be unmoved by them!
At this moment, Wu Qianru's eyes gleamed with undisguised excitement. She looked at Mu Xiaoyu with schadenfreude, then feigned a troubled expression and said, "Xiaoyu, how come you have so many of those things on you..."
From the moment Wu Qianru spilled champagne on her dress, Mu Xiaoyu had guessed Wu Qianru's ill intentions. Now, seeing the schadenfreude in the other woman's eyes, she found it all the more ridiculous.
She had imagined Wu Qianru would come up with some brilliant scheme, but it turned out to be this simple. How incredibly stupid of her to have fallen into Wu Qianru's trap?
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu's gaze towards Wu Qianru became more disdainful. She calmly straightened her dress, no longer glancing at Wu Qianru, and directly took Li Chenxu's arm again, giving him a playful glare: "Honestly, I told you to be gentle yesterday, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened, everyone's laughing at us!"
