Chapter 13: I Have Indeed Become More Beautiful

Chapter 13: I Have Indeed Become More Beautiful

Mu Yun pursed her lips and remained silent.

She knew that not speaking at this moment would achieve the best effect.

She came from a good family, had good looks, excellent grades, and a successful career.

Standing there with a pitiful look was enough to make men sympathize with her.

"Mu Yun, what gift have you prepared for Lady Bao's birthday banquet?" Zhao Gang curiously asked.

Mu Yun smiled faintly, "I have prepared one of my oil paintings as a gift for her."

Zhang Haoyan and Shao Hang immediately praised her, "Mu Yun's painting skills are exceptional, this gift is extraordinary. Lady Bao will surely adore you as her granddaughter-in-law."

As they were about to enter the main banquet hall, Song Chu and Xie Ziran hurriedly caught up from behind.

Song Chu stopped Nan Huang, out of breath from running too fast. "Miss Ye, wait, wait," he gasped.

Nan Huang halted and asked, "Song Shao, what's the matter?"

Song Chu felt his breath stabilizing and quickly said, "Miss Ye, if I said something wrong just now, I apologize."

Nan Huang looked puzzled, "...Did you say something wrong?"

Xie Ziran lowered his head to examine his cousin. She was born low-key and had always kept to herself. Due to some conflicts with their aunt, Xie Ziran's mother, their interactions had been limited. So, he didn't have a strong impression of his cousin.

However, he remembered that she had a birthmark on her face. That birthmark had been the subject of mockery throughout her life. But now, how was it that the birthmark had disappeared?

Could medical technology remove a birthmark so cleanly?

Song Chu said, "It's just... I felt like Miss Ye wasn't very happy just now..."

Nan Huang smiled, "It's fine, it has nothing to do with you."

"It's good if it's not an issue," Song Chu said, "Shall we go inside now?"

Nan Huang nodded with a smile.

As they entered the main banquet hall, the appearance of Nan Huang's group attracted the attention of many.

Many people noticed the three of them, and someone whispered, "Who's the woman beside Song Shao? She looks pretty good. Is she Song Shao's companion?"

"I've never seen him bring a companion to an event like this before. This is quite unusual."

"Could she be Song Shao's girlfriend?"

"I've never seen this woman before. She's probably not from our circle. Could she be a new emerging celebrity?"

Many people shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.

Nan Huang sighed and said to Song Chu, "Song Shao seems to have an extraordinary status."

Xie Ziran took a small cake, took a bite, and casually said, "What status could he have? He's just the second generation."

Song Chu felt embarrassed. "Xie Ziran, have some more cake."

It hadn't been long since he had met his goddess, and Xie Ziran was already taking the spotlight from him. Couldn't he keep his mouth shut even when there was cake to eat?

Nan Huang smiled.

Song Chu was genuinely curious about many things, so he asked, "Miss Ye, did you come here to confront your ex-husband? If so, we can help you."

She was the former wife of Bao Shen but didn't even have the qualification to enter Lady Bao's banquet. She didn't have an invitation, so it was clear that she had entered using his identity. It seemed like her purpose was not ordinary.

Normally, Song Chu wouldn't get involved in such matters, but Nan Huang had saved his grandmother's life, so he was willing to make an exception.

"...?" Nan Huang was surprised. Was this how second-generation heirs behaved now?

Xie Ziran, after swallowing a piece of cake, said, "Don't be polite with him."

Nan Huang shook her head. "I didn't come here to cause trouble."

Song Chu asked, "Then what did you come here for?"

Nan Huang said seriously, "I'm here to expand my business."

Song Chu and Xie Ziran exchanged glances.

In other words, if someone provoked her, she wouldn't mind causing a scene?

Nan Huang looked at the two second-generation heirs and cleared her throat before saying, "Gentlemen, do you have any interest in environmental protection?"

Song Chu and Xie Ziran exchanged glances once again.

Nan Huang briefly introduced the business she wanted to expand, and as they listened, Song Chu and Xie Ziran showed some surprise.

It turned out to be true; Ye Nan Huang was really starting to expand her business independently.

Song Chu and Xie Ziran also became somewhat interested as they continued to converse and walked deeper into the banquet.

More people paid attention to Song Chu, and before they could finish their conversation, someone joined in with a glass of wine.

"Song Shao, it's rare to see you bring a companion to the banquet," someone said with a smile.

Song Chu glanced at Nan Huang and felt a bit embarrassed, scratching his head. "Well... it's not..."

"Then could it be Mr. Xie's companion?"

Xie Ziran, with a noble smile, said, "Yes, indeed. This beautiful lady is my companion."

Song Chu gave him a glare but then remembered that Xie Ziran was Nan Huang's cousin, and since Nan Huang was accompanying him, it seemed acceptable.

With Nan Huang's consent, the people finally realized that the elegant lady in the black dress was not Song Shao's companion but Mr. Xie's companion.

This conclusion made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, the commotion on Nan Huang's side caught Mu Yun's attention.

She saw Nan Huang for the first time from a distance and was stunned for a moment.

This is... Is this Ye Nan Huang?

As Mu Yun was momentarily stunned, Zhao Gang and the others around her also noticed Nan Huang's presence.

Zhang Haoyan suddenly exclaimed, "Ye Nan Huang is here? How did she come? Wasn't she never seen at such events before? Bao Ge never brought her to such occasions either."

Zhao Gang added, "Mu Yun, let's go take a look."

Mu Yun pressed her lips together and, surprisingly, Ye Nan Huang's arrival was both unexpected and expected.

She picked up her wine glass and gracefully walked towards Nan Huang's direction.

Nan Huang's group had been chatting and keeping an eye on both Mu Yun and Bao Shen's direction. So, when Mu Yun approached, they were prepared.

Song Chu whispered to Nan Huang, "Miss Ye, even though there are many people on their side, we also have a good number. Don't be afraid."

Nan Huang almost lost her composure due to Song Chu's words. She lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you."

Mu Yun, dressed in white, looked like a fairy as she approached. She pursed her lips and softly said, "Is it really you, sister? Has your face healed?"

Nan Huang smiled at her. It was amusing how these young girls considered her their elder sister one

 by one.

But she had no intention of acknowledging them as her younger sisters.

So she smiled and asked, "You're calling me sister? But my mother only gave birth to me."

Mu Yun smiled and said, "Sister, you've really become much prettier. Did you go to the hospital? Can you tell me which one? I'd like to go too."

She was implying that Nan Huang had undergone plastic surgery.

Nan Huang laughed and said, "Well, you have sharp eyes. I have indeed become more beautiful."

Mu Yun hesitated for a moment and then smiled, "Sister, when you came here, why didn't you let us know? My brother and I could have picked you up."

In fact, Nan Huang had come today out of curiosity. She wanted to see what the elusive woman who had captured Bao Shen's heart, even after their divorce, looked like.

After this brief encounter and a few words, Nan Huang understood. This Mu Yun was indeed a delicate and precious white lotus flower.

It made sense. Three out of three, she couldn't possibly be a good woman.

Nan Huang looked at her with a cold smile and said, "Miss Mu, can you explain why you brought my husband to pick me up as his original wife?"
