CHAPTER 1285: CHAPTER 357: LOVE YOU FOR TEN THOUSAND YEARS (PART 7)

"Thank you!"

Hu Xiaoyan wasn’t fond of talking much with strangers, and listening to this kind of flattery didn’t give her a good impression. She just thought it wasn’t great for Lu Fei to be with this girl.

"Lu Fei is my husband’s cousin’s child."

Hu Xiaoyan whispered an explanation to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu’s eyes shifted slightly, now knowing that the Shen Family had a connection with the Lu Family, which made things awkward. She wasn’t sure if Hu Xiaoyan knew about the Yang Family breaking off the marriage with the Lu Family because of her.

"But our families aren’t that close!"

Seeing her expression, Hu Xiaoyan leaned closer to her ear to gently remind her.

Qin Mu couldn’t help but turn her eyes to look at her, and let out a low laugh that she couldn’t contain. Hu Xiaoyan also chuckled.

Seeing Hu Xiaoyan so close with Qin Mu, Lu Fei became a bit displeased: "Second sister-in-law, are you and Mrs. Mu on good terms?"

"I think we get along well! What do you think?"

Hu Xiaoyan nodded, then looked at Qin Mu for confirmation.

Qin Mu also nodded, and everyone looked at Hu Xiaoyan with a bit of envy, which made Qin Mu feel a bit embarrassed, making her seem like some big celebrity.

"Why don’t we take a group photo together? We’ve had such a pleasant talk tonight!"

Someone suggested.

"Sure!"

Others agreed, and before Qin Mu and Hu Xiaoyan could react, someone had already called the waiter to help take a photo. A group of women sat on the sofa, each with their own thoughts, and Qin Mu could only manage a polite smile, all thanks to Hu Xiaoyan.

Actually, the most awkward was Wu Jiaojiao. While being photographed, Wu Jiaojiao was thinking she must become the most beautiful one among them, but her expression just seemed a bit off.

"Feifei, come with me for a moment!"

Hu Xiaoyan called out to Lu Fei before leaving.

Lu Fei was startled, looking up at the already standing woman, then had to mutter an "oh" and got up to follow Hu Xiaoyan out.

Qin Mu wanted to leave too, but the group of ladies held onto her: "Mrs. Mu, let us toast you again, thank you for giving us a place to perform."

Qin Mu smiled lightly, not knowing what else to say, and raised her glass to drink with them.

Wu Jiaojiao sat beside her, watching her with a look that seemed common yet hinted at some calculation, making it quite unpleasant, but probably only Qin Mu noticed this.

"Mrs. Mu, are you going to collaborate with the ladies?"

Wu Jiaojiao asked.

"Yes! By the way, Jiaojiao, since you work at the TV station, help the ladies get a few journalists to take some photos and put them in our city’s news to show off!"

"Yes, sis, this should be a piece of cake for you, don’t come up with excuses to refuse!"

Wu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but chuckle: "I might still be able to get a few friends to help, but actually, I’ve already left the TV station!"

Qin Mu sat there looking somewhere else, feeling a bit of an urge to leave.

"Oh? Wasn’t that your passion? Why did you suddenly quit?"

Not many knew about Wu Jiaojiao being dismissed, but many celebrities in town knew she had worked at the TV station.

"The reason? Probably Mrs. Mu knows best!"

Wu Jiaojiao raised her eyes to look at the woman sitting inside.

Qin Mu glanced at her, her eyes swept around, seeing everyone curiously looking at her. She then lightly smiled: "I’m afraid I’m not too clear; isn’t it that the TV station found out you were using your position to get close to my husband, and they dismissed you to avoid trouble? I thought Miss Wu resigned on her own, but was it actually a dismissal?"

Qin Mu spoke these few lines lightly, with a casual smile, trying not to offend, but her smiling eyes made Wu Jiaojiao choke on a breath she couldn’t get out.

The ladies, as if hearing some big news, looked dumbfounded at Wu Jiaojiao. Those who knew of the time when Wu Jiaojiao tried to get close to Mu Yichen while Qin Mu was not around might say she was abusing her position.

Wu Jiaojiao’s face flushed under their gazes. Seeing everyone looking at her, she made an effort to smile, lowered her head a bit, then looked up again at the ladies and said: "Mrs. Mu was just joking. Of course, I resigned on my own, and as for getting close to Mr. Mu, at that time I was doing an interview with him, that was the TV station’s initiative."

"Then, why did you suddenly resign?"

That Zhang sister-in-law asked curiously. These ladies loved gossip and wouldn’t miss out on such a good opportunity.

"Just suddenly didn’t want to do it anymore!"

Wu Jiaojiao awkwardly smiled in response.

"Oh dear! You made your father sick at the time for the sake of this job, and now you just quit because you don’t want to do it anymore."
