Chapter 292 - Miss Mo Family

Hu Jing was shocked as she asked Ye Fan, who was standing on stage amidst a focused crowd, whether Mo Xiaoyan was Lu Xiaoman.

Surprised in his heart, Ye Fan responded quietly, “She is not Lu Xiaoman.

She is Lu Xiaoman’s sister, Mo Xiaoyan.

They are long-lost twin sisters.”

Since Hu Jing had seen Mo Xiaoyan, she would certainly be curious to delve into her background, so Ye Fan simply told her directly, as it was a matter of public record.

While they were speaking, Dongfang Yunqi had already begun introducing Mo Xiaoyan to the audience.

“The Mo family is one of the leading families in Chongqing and has significant influence in the Southwest region.

Of course, in Hua Hai, the Mo family also has major investments.

Some of you present here might be able to collaborate with the Mo family in business,” Dongfang Yunqi explained.

All the unmarried men present admired Mo Xiaoyan’s radiant beauty and listened to Dongfang Yunqi explaining the Mo family’s vast capabilities, each appearing eager to connect.

Standing in a forward position under the stage, Xiao Yichen’s eyes blazed with intense and confident light.

Logically speaking, as the current crisis was affecting Tongyi Group, Xiao Yichen, as the young chairman, had neither the time nor the inclination to attend any auctions or parties.

However, upon learning that the legitimate granddaughter of the esteemed Mo family from the Southwest would appear at Yun Qi Club, he eagerly participated in the event held by Yun Qi Club.

Currently, Tongyi Group was facing an unprecedented severe blow, not only with its stocks on NASDAQ in the United States being aggressively targeted by international short sellers, but also the group’s physical businesses were heavily affected.

The main partnering company was demanding to settle accounts and dissolve the partnership agreement, with others also showing similar intentions.

Meanwhile, banks had stopped lending to Tongyi Group.

“I never expected Miss Mo to be so beautiful, almost rivaling Li Zhaojun, that wretch.

If I could win her over and bring about cooperation between the Mo family and our group, not only could we easily overcome this crisis, but we could also elevate to a higher level.

I, Xiao Yichen, would gain wealth and stature!” he thought.

He clenched his fists and puffed out his chest, maintaining his signature warm smile, trying to catch Mo Xiaoyan’s attention from the stage.

He was very confident in his ability to attract the opposite sex.

Among all the men present, who else could match his handsome, elegant demeanor, and gentlemanly grace?

Ye Fan, hearing Dongfang Yunqi’s description of the Mo family’s background, was a bit surprised himself.

He had not expected the Mo family to be such a significant power, clearly a force to be reckoned with.

Hu Jing took a sharp intake of breath, turning to Ye Fan and saying, “I didn’t realize Lu Xiaoman came from such a significant background.

It obviously seemed she wasn’t an ordinary girl.”

“Mm,” Ye Fan nodded slightly.

Hu Jing continued to ask, “Ye Fan, are you still on good terms with Lu Xiaoman?

She suddenly resigned last week, and it’s very likely that she recognized her family, the Mo family.”

“It’s the same as before,” Ye Fan said with a light smile.

“Really?” Hu Jing was a bit skeptical, “Didn’t Lu Xiaoman feel even a little…”

Ye Fan shook his head with a light smile, “She’s not that kind of person.”

“Then aren’t you soaring high?” Hu Jing said enviously, “What great fortune!”

Ye Fan shook his head nonchalantly and calmly said, “Can feelings be measured by family background?

What needed to be done before should still be done.”

Hu Jing couldn’t help but look up at Ye Fan’s resolute face, fixing her gaze on his deep, ocean-like eyes, and felt a peculiar sensation in her heart.

Had it been before tonight, she might have thought Ye Fan was being insincere, but after learning about Ye Fan’s deeds from Zhang Ruolin, she believed that Ye Fan’s words were heartfelt.

Seeing Ye Fan’s composed expression, unaffected by Lu Xiaoman’s prestigious background, Hu Jing felt conquered by Ye Fan’s personal charm.

“If it were me, and I suddenly found out my boyfriend had become the legitimate grandson of some prominent family, I’d probably be so happy I couldn’t sleep for three days and nights.

I’d definitely do everything I could to protect this love and then get married, marrying into a wealthy family!” she thought to herself, “Just in terms of status, I’m not just a step or two behind Ye Fan.”

Mo Xiaoyan stood on the stage, her gaze sweeping over the many eager faces below, and quickly spotted the tall and poorly dressed Ye Fan.

Seeing Ye Fan standing very close to Hu Jing, having an intimate and quiet conversation, she couldn’t help but get angry, wanting to walk down there and slap Ye Fan twice, questioning if he was being fair to her sister Lu Xiaoman.

However, at such an event, she represented not herself, but the Mo family, so she endured silently without a change in her expression.

After Dongfang Yunqi introduced Mo Xiaoyan and she politely greeted everyone, the party officially began.

Most of the single men present couldn’t wait to rush over to Mo Xiaoyan to promote themselves, but since the party had just started, they could only watch her eagerly from the side, as Mo Xiaoyan was being introduced to the socialite ladies of Hua Hai by Dongfang Yunqi.

“Ye Fan, are you going to go over and greet Mo Xiaoyan?” Hu Jing asked, wanting to meet Mo Xiaoyan herself.

Ye Fan shook his head with a slight smile, “No.

She has a bad impression of me.

During the auction just now, she didn’t hesitate to outbid me on the century-old ginseng I wanted.

I’d rather not humiliate myself by courting her displeasure.”

That century-old ginseng was valued at about two million, and his bid of two million five hundred thousand was already high, but Mo Xiaoyan raised the bid by five hundred thousand to three million, clearly targeting him.

He didn’t believe that with Mo Xiaoyan’s background, she couldn’t estimate the real value of the century-old ginseng.

“She’s willing to spend an extra million just to spite me, which shows how unfavorable her attitude towards me is,” Ye Fan thought to himself.

“Really?” Hu Jing was surprised, but then she understood, guessing that Mo Xiaoyan probably looked down on Ye Fan.

She turned her head to glance at Mo Xiaoyan, who was surrounded by socialite ladies of Hua Hai lining up to meet her, then turned back and said, “Then I won’t go over and embarrass myself.”

At that moment, the elegant and melodious sound of live piano playing started, and pairs of dancers began to waltz in the central dance floor of the party hall.

Dressed sexily and looking pretty, He Ruiqiu and several other socialite ladies didn’t rush to meet Mo Xiaoyan.

Instead, taking advantage of others being busy meeting Mo Xiaoyan and not paying attention to Ye Fan, they approached him.

“Mr.

Ye, what a coincidence to see you here again,” He Ruiqiu and the others approached Ye Fan, throwing him seductive glances and giggling.

Ye Fan’s gaze fell on He Ruiqiu and the others, and he smiled lightly as he nodded, “Hehe, hello, I am also honored to see you beautiful and elegant ladies again.”

“Mr.

Ye, shall we dance?” He Ruiqiu and the others eagerly extended their hands towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan felt awkward.

Last time he danced with He Ruiqiu, the woman kept pretending to make little mistakes, rubbing against him the whole time, which greatly aroused him.

Just then, Hu Jing giggled, “Hehe, ladies, you’re too late.

Ye Fan has already invited me to dance.”

Surprising Ye Fan, he turned to look at Hu Jing, who quickly gave him a look.

He reluctantly smiled apologetically at He Ruiqiu and the other women, “Hehe, sorry, it’s true.

I’ve indeed invited this beautiful and sexy lady to dance.

I’m very sorry about that.”

He Ruiqiu and the other women had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
