This Is Your Sister-in-law

The venue here was not only spacious but also exuded an extremely high-end atmosphere.

Many guests held wine glasses, engaging in sophisticated conversation.

Those attending this dinner party were either wealthy or noble; even those usually high-and-mighty tycoons would choose to attend such gatherings.

Having money was one aspect.

Socializing in these circles was another.

When assets reach a certain level,

Money alone can't solve everything.

The focus needs to be on networking.

After all, the money you offer might be refused,

But when it comes to connections and relationships,

Even if you offer no benefits,

Just a word from the right person can open all doors.

When your influence reaches a certain height,

You don't need to go around greeting others.

Instead, people come rushing to greet you,

Eager to establish connections.

This was precisely the situation with Xu Mo and Zhou Qiaoqiao.

Even though they tried to maintain a low profile

By choosing a secluded seat,

They were still recognized by others.

It's hard for such an attractive couple to go unnoticed!

After turning away yet another wave of people,

Xu Mo sat in his chair, wearing an unapproachable expression.

It wasn't that he was arrogant,

Nor was he unfriendly,

He was just exhausted.

Line up and come one by one?

Enough already.

Just go home, everyone, just go home.

"Some notable heirs from the Capital City have come, and you're not even bothering to acknowledge them. They have business dealings with our family, you know~" Zhou Qiaoqiao said with a smile.

In truth, she didn't care about these things.

She was just trying to find topics to pass the time with Xu Mo.

"You know I don't care about such things."

Xu Mo shook his head.

Zhou Qiaoqiao blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes and counted on her fingers as she asked, "What about those young ladies who came to greet you? The ladies from the Capital City are so fresh and lovely, even I'm a bit envious."

You? Envious???

You're the female lead among the antagonists!

You're worlds apart.

Put you next to them,

They'd be the ones feeling inadequate.

Xu Mo knew the demoness was joking, but instead of exposing it, he teased her back.

"Would you be jealous if I pursued them?"

"Go ahead! Don't just talk about it, do it. The more the merrier."

Zhou Qiaoqiao said meaningfully, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Xu Mo rubbed his nose - don't stir up trouble, demoness!

I know I'm quite--------

Never mind, let's not mention it, it's unlucky.

"It's not that I don't want to pursue more, I'm just afraid you might change your mind and turn on me,"

Xu Mo said after some thought.

Zhou Qiaoqiao shook her head, looking straight into his eyes with utmost sincerity.

"I couldn't be happier about it."

"As for why, don't you know in your heart?"

Towards the end,

The demoness's tone became quite plaintive.

As the person involved, Xu Mo

Couldn't help but understand her implications.

Xu Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This time he had no way to argue back.

He had always wanted to be a faithful man,

Both in body and mind.

But that darned system wouldn't let him be!!!

It kept stacking buffs on him.

Until finally,

Xu Mo found himself invincible.

If it wasn't nerfed,

He might just take off into the sky.

Xu Mo picked up his wine glass and took a sip of red wine,

Trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Big Brother Xu!!!! It really is you!!!"

A familiar, slightly effeminate voice rang out.

Xu Mo knew immediately it was the old trainee.

He would recognize that voice

Even if it were turned to ashes.

Xu Mo's brow had started to furrow,

But upon hearing this voice,

His furrowed brow relaxed.

"Xiaoyi, you've been doing well these days!!!"

Xu Mo smiled.

"No, no, not at all." Tao Xiaoyi chuckled, and just as he was about to greet the woman beside Xu Mo,

He realized it wasn't Shen Manni.

His expression froze for a moment.

Xu Mo raised his hand and coughed twice.

"This is your sister-in-law!! Quick, greet her!"

Tao Xiaoyi came to his senses.

He quickly nodded and smiled at Zhou Qiaoqiao.

"Hello, sister-in-law, hello."

Last time at the bar,

The sister-in-law seemed to be Shen Manni.

This time the sister-in-law had changed,

And she was even an heiress of one of the four great families.

Tao Xiaoyi had indeed been living quite freely these days.

And quite comfortably too.

He did nothing but good things,

Though not to the extent of murder or arson.

At most, he just satisfied his personal desires.

He wasn't stealing or robbing.

What's wrong with living off his parents?

What's wrong with being born into a good family?

Is that against the law?

"Hello."

Zhou Qiaoqiao replied with a dignified and graceful smile, maintaining politeness.

Tao Xiaoyi didn't dare to look too long.

People from the four great families

Were all formidable characters.

He couldn't stay away fast enough.

Let alone touch them.

Take someone like Han Zhiqi, for instance.

Tao Xiaoyi felt that even if he were tied up like a dumpling and thrown into the river to feed the fish,

His own father wouldn't just not avenge him,

He'd probably applaud in front of the Han Family!

'Well done! I've long been irritated by this brat, the Han Family has done a public service today!'

Just thinking about it gave Tao Xiaoyi goosebumps.

"Brother Mo, Brother Mo, where's Little Shi? I don't see her anywhere?"

A clear, melodious voice like a skylark rang out.

"She should be here soon. Little Feng, you've grown even prettier lately."

Xu Mo smiled, not forgetting to give a compliment.

While Tao Xiaofeng's looks couldn't compete with the female protagonists,

She couldn't match the extraordinary ones,

But among the pleasantly beautiful women,

Tao Xiaofeng could definitely rank among them.

Hearing Xu Mo's praise,

A smile appeared on Tao Xiaofeng's face, revealing shallow dimples on both cheeks.

"Hehe-------- Brother Mo, you're not bad yourself-------------eh eh eh you you----"

After getting a clear look at Xu Mo's face,

Tao Xiaofeng began to stutter.

The little girl's small head was filled with big questions.

The last time she saw Xu Mo at a party,

Was her Brother Mo this handsome?

It didn't seem so.

Did he go get plastic surgery?

Or was there something wrong with how she was looking at him?

Was she seeing things wrong?
