"I will report Young Master Rong's present for Jinghan's birthday to my wife when I get back. I believe my wife will be happy for Jinghan."
"Sorry for the trouble, Aunt Gui."
Rong Heting was completely unmoved by such a hidden threat. After dealing with it, he no longer had the heart to say anything more. Since they had already met, there was no point in hiding it.
Rong Heting slightly pulled Ling Jinghan into his embrace, then looked at Mu Qianqian with undisguised sharpness in his eyes.
"What are you still standing there for?"
"I …"
"Get down."
Just as Mu Qianqian was about to explain in panic, Rong Heting only left her two words before gently hugging Ling Jinghan and walking out of the dance floor.
Everyone present could see Young Master Rong's attitude clearly. The scene of this competition was just a little girl's wishful thinking.
Everyone present was amused by their own guess. How could a woman with an unknown background become Young Master Rong's wife? Matriarch Rong's position was not something that any woman could control.
And Young Master Di Rong Heting, who was usually calm and wise, would definitely give up his Ling Family and marry a woman who was of no help to him. In their circle, a strong alliance was instead more easily accepted.
If others were to be caught in this woman's beauty, others would believe it, but Young Master Di and Rong Heting definitely wouldn't make such a low level mistake.
The men were somewhat resentful as they looked at Mu Qianqian with eyes full of pity.
At this moment, the melodious sound of a violin rang out, and some musicians at the piano began to slowly play. The ball had finally begun.
Mu Qianqian watched as people slowly glided onto the dance floor. She stood alone, unsure of where she should go.
Lowering her head to look at her toes, Mu Qianqian realized that her shoes had fallen off when she was getting up from the piano due to being too excited.
The staff had already helped her pick up her shoes before the zithers went on stage. When Rong Heting was still here, the staff didn't dare to go forward. Now that Rong Heting had left, she walked forward to put her shoes on the ground not far from Mu Qianqian.
After nodding his head, the waiter hurriedly retreated, afraid that Mu Qianqian's identity would lead him to some sort of trouble.
Mu Qianqian wanted to thank him, but in the end, she chose not to do so.
Although Ling Gui was warned by Rong Heting, she was still satisfied with Rong Heting leaving with Ling Jinghan in the end, so she didn't pay much attention to Mu Qianqian.
After everyone had started their own activities, Ling Gui slowly walked up to Mu Qianqian.
As her gaze swept across her left foot, she naturally noticed the shoes left by the staff member at the side. Ling Gui smiled and shook her head.
"This must be Miss Mu, right?"
Mu Qianqian's elegant voice called back her thoughts. She raised her head and saw a middle-aged woman standing in front of her with a faint smile on her face.
"I'm Mu Qianqian."
Mu Qianqian didn't know how to address her, so she could only say her name. She indifferently looked at Ling Gui, waiting for her next words.
"Miss Mu's name is easy to remember. I've wanted to see Miss Mu since the day I first heard of her. Now that I've seen her, her temperament is indeed extraordinary."
The corners of Mu Qianqian's mouth twitched. She didn't know what to say next.
This person that Rong Heting called "Aunt Gui" didn't hide anything. He already sent people to know about her. Was he warning her?
Ling Gui saw that Mu Qianqian was looking at her silently, as if she had seen through all of Mu Qianqian's doubts to the bottom of her heart.
"Miss Mu must be curious as to why I have heard your name before. My Jinghan has suffered a lot because of Miss Mu!"
Mu Qianqian's fingers, which were pinching her skirt, moved slightly. Aunt Gui, however, didn't mind.
"I almost watched Young Master Rong grow up. There aren't many women who can stay by his side for such a long period of time, and there are few who can cause Young Master Di and Rong Heting to lose control of their emotions. Even Jinghan can't do that."
"I heard that Young Master Rong even brought you to the darkroom to personally discipline you for your nude photos last time. You really are Young Master Rong's heart."
In Mu Qianqian's line of sight, Ling Gui's gentle tone and intimate actions caused her entire body to exude a calm aura. However, the words that came out of his mouth were covered in a layer of cold ice, so cold that it felt as if all the blood in his body would freeze.
When she recalled the scene in the dark room, Mu Qianqian's body trembled unconsciously. The fear that she suppressed in her heart seemed to be slowly evaporating from her skin.
"You … You want to... "Tell me what?" Mu Qianqian found it difficult to maintain her composure and her words were incoherent.
Ling Gui retracted her hand and took a step back to distance herself from Mu Qianqian. However, she still had a faint smile on her face.
"I heard Miss Mu is a talent with a heaven-defying IQ, so she should know how to advance and retreat even more. Today is Jinghan's birthday, I hope Miss Mu will still be cautious when fighting for a favor in such an occasion."
"…"
The thing that the Wealthy Class families care about the most is money, and the thing that they cannot lose is face. If Miss Mu was by Young Master Rong's side, then Young Master Rong probably would not mistreat Miss Mu, but please don't do anything that would harm Young Master Rong's face.
"…"
"Men's interest in women is limited to this woman's understanding of the situation. If you do too many outrageous things, who would be patient? "I'm afraid that if Miss Mu couldn't carry it all out, she would be doomed in the end."
Mu Qianqian's body tensed up and her face turned pale and helpless. Ling Gui didn't seem to notice at all, and the words she said were as gentle as before, yet every single one of them was stabbing at Mu Qianqian's sore spot.
"I heard that Miss Mu has a seriously ill little brother that needs treatment. I hope that Miss Mu can find the bone marrow of your little brother as soon as possible. After all, your uncle is no longer around, and your bone marrow can't match up with your little brother at all."
"But, Miss Mu, have you ever thought that it isn't illness or accidents that can threaten a person's life? Just like your uncle, his body is obviously healthy, yet he somehow died in prison."
If Mu Qianqian could still endure his words before, then his final warning would be the most unbearable pain for her.
Mu Qianqian could no longer remain calm when she thought of her uncle's death and Mu Shen, who was unconscious in the hospital.
"What are you trying to say? My brother is innocent, don't hurt him! "
Mu Qianqian was so agitated that she wanted to step forward and grab Ling Gui's arm, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, stopping her from doing anything.
"Aunt Gui, the child can't help but be scared. You'd better not tease her."
