After being reborn as a rich and beautiful woman, she let herself go.

Chapter 25 Mu Siran

Luo Jiuyu spoke calmly and succinctly, yet his words carried an imposing presence.

Whether she was intimidated by the coldness in his eyes or felt inferior to Lin Cuilan because of his innate noble and aloof demeanor, she dared not utter a sound.

Hua Wenxia was so intimidated by her son-in-law's aura that she dared not breathe loudly.

Hua An'an shrank behind her mother, unable to straighten her back.

Luo Jiuyu went in first.

The family of three followed him inside, and then they parted ways with him.

The banquet hall was magnificent and spacious. People dressed in smart clothes were scattered throughout, chatting and laughing in twos and threes.

Luo Jiuyu's gaze swept across the hall, but he did not see that familiar figure from his memory.

He didn't get along with anyone there and refused to talk to anyone. He grabbed a glass of champagne, found a quiet corner, and casually sat down on the sofa.

A little further away, Hua Wenxia, ​​holding his business card, took the initiative to strike up a conversation with someone. Lin Cuilan stood on either side of him, greeting them with a smile.

Unsurprisingly, the couple's efforts were met with indifference; no one was willing to pay them much attention.

A well-mannered person would simply smile and walk away, while a more soft-hearted person would accept his business card before leaving.

Ignore all the bad manners and just glare at them before walking away.

Luo Jiuyu rested one hand on the sofa armrest, watching the couple make a fool of themselves with a mocking look in her eyes.

To let them know that there is a barrier between them and this social class. That was Luo Jiuyu's purpose in bringing them in.

After being glared at several times, Lin Cuilan's smile gradually disappeared, and she complained to Hua Wenxia, ​​"Just because you're rich doesn't mean you can be so arrogant!"

Hua Wenxia also looked dejected. "I used to think that our Hua family was a very wealthy family in Tiancheng. Now I realize that I was just being narrow-minded."

Lin Cuilan was resentful. The thought that the Luo family was the richest family in Tiancheng, yet she, as their in-law, was treated this way, intensified her resentment towards Hua Meimei.

"It's all Hua Meimei's fault for being so useless and not knowing how to please the Luo family. Look what Luo Jiuyu said to us; he said he doesn't acknowledge this marriage!"

Hua An'an, who had been hiding to the side eating and drinking, came over at this moment. She chimed in, "That's right, he's already married his wife, but he still won't acknowledge the marriage."

Hua Wenxia twitched her lips, about to say something, when she looked up and saw Luo Jiuyu staring at them with a cold gaze. She quickly whispered to Lin Cuilan and Hua An'an to stop talking.

Hua Meimei's family all came, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Luo Jiuyu took out her phone, found Hua Meimei's number, and dialed it.

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."

Shut down?

Recalling what Lin Cuilan said in the elevator, Luo Jiuyu judged that Hua Meimei might not know that her family was attending the banquet.

Could she be working? From what I remember, her job is usually live-streaming sales.

Luo Jiuyu opened the live-streaming e-commerce app and searched for the Berry Live Room.

The phone screen showed a picture of Hua Meimei dancing around with two towels. She had a square scarf tied around her head, seemingly dressed as a village woman.

The song "Good Luck" was playing in the live stream.

"...Good luck, I wish you good luck. Good luck brings joy and love..."

She, Xiao Hei, and Niu Niu sang and danced, and the song, combined with an impromptu Northeast Errenzhuan dance, didn't feel out of place at all.

Two towels twirled rapidly in her hands, keeping her very busy, and she had to keep up with their movements.

The cheerful and festive music created a joyful atmosphere in the live broadcast room.

Fans were laughing hysterically in the comments section.

My berry is dancing! We're doomed!

Haha, she danced! My New Year is saved!

[Are the two people upstairs performing a stand-up comedy routine?]

Good heavens, how can this be so funny?

[The Berry Livestream should be renamed the Joyful Livestream]

This woman is so adorable!

My New Year's wish is to find a partner.

Luo Jiuyu didn't realize that the corners of her mouth were also uncontrollably turning upwards.

After the song ended, Hua Meimei clutched her aching back, laughing so hard she could barely breathe. "I've made a fool of myself!"

"Wishing everyone good luck and abundant wealth in the new year!" Xiao Hei's voice was always loud and clear.

Niu Niu said, "Happy New Year! We'll resume broadcasting after the holiday, so don't forget to come back then!"

"Happy New Year everyone! That's all for today, time to go offline. Those who need to go on dates, hurry up and do so! And those who are single, make a wish to find your other half!"

Hua Meimei's big eyes narrowed into small eyes with a smile.

Selling skincare products and making a little money, is it really that great to be happy?

Luo Jiuyu then realized that, out of his sight, Hua Meimei seemed quite happy every day.

I had a feeling she was overly happy, jumping around like a monkey...

"What are you looking at so intently?"

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded behind me.

Luo Jiuyu was startled, and her phone almost slipped from her hand.

"I hadn't seen you for years, and I thought you wouldn't show up in the Luo family anymore."

Mu Siran, dressed in a red gown and wearing sky-high heels, walked around from behind the sofa.

His previously relaxed posture stiffened, and he stood up. Mu Siran walked up to him, very close.

A refreshing jasmine scent filled the air.

Years have passed, but the fragrance emanating from her remains as clear as ever.

"Miss Mu, it's been a long time," he said.

"You should call me Sister Mu." A teasing smile appeared on Mu Siran's bright face.

His gaze was deep. "Perhaps I should call you sister-in-law?"

Mu Siran didn't react at first, and was stunned for a moment. After she realized what she meant, she laughed and said, "What do you mean?"

"Isn't it always my older brother Lorne who's suspected your date?"

Mu Siran laughed, her willow-leaf eyes sparkling: "That's just a suspicion, isn't it?"

“Oh…” A tense spot in Luo Jiuyu’s heart suddenly relaxed.

It turns out that she and Lorne haven't officially started dating yet.

But her grandparents both thought she was Lorne's girlfriend.

"Where have you been all these years? Why haven't you come back to the Luo family?" Mu Siran asked.

He lowered his head. "I occasionally go abroad for a while, but I spend most of my time in Tiancheng."

He declined to answer the latter question.

"You must be very busy with work. You've won so many awards, big and small, that you're practically rolling in them." He steered the conversation towards her.

I haven't seen her for so many years; all the news I have about her comes from the internet.

Her career was thriving, but she smiled less and less. Even when she did smile, it lacked some of its innocence and became more professional.

She nodded and smiled, "I did win some awards. Work is very busy and tiring, so I don't have time to date."

There was a hint of regret in his words.

Does she want to be in a relationship?

He couldn't help but purse his lips when he thought about his married status.

The once taciturn boy has grown into a mature man, handsome and dashing. His conversation is understated yet his extraordinary presence remains undeniable.

Upon meeting again, a strange emotion stirred within Mu Siran.

It's truly disorienting.

How can a child who has been neglected since childhood have a more refined and noble demeanor than his/her siblings who have been pampered since childhood?

"I heard from your brother that you got married?" She looked at his somewhat absent-minded eyes.
