Han Muzi didn’t comment on it as she pursed her lips. She then recalled rejecting Han Qing’s proposal for her to go on another date. Did he call someone over to the house for a date? Even if it’s a date, why did he need to bring Little Bean over? The situation was much more complicated than she imagined.
“Did your brother tell you why?” Yan asked.
Han Muzi shrugged. “What do you think? Let’s go.” After she finished, Han Muzi turned to leave.
Yan rushed over to her and held her hand. “Do you really want to go back? I have a bad feeling. I feel it’s not that simple this time. Why don’t… I go first to scout it out? You can go home to have a meal and rest first.”
Han Muzi glanced at Yan resignedly. “Aren’t you being a little too careful? My brother has picked up Little Bean already. That means we have to go. The situation won’t change even if you went to scout it out beforehand. Let’s just go there right away.”
“Fine. Your brother won’t hurt you anyway.”
In the end, both of them went to the Han residence.
The Han residence was in an independent, private area. To get there, one must go along a long road. Usually, the road was quiet and peaceful, but today, it was crowded with cars.
Han Muzi was the one driving the car while Yan sat in the passenger seat. As the latter looked at the cars that were speeding past them, she felt confused. “Why are there so many cars today? There aren’t that many cars usually. And look how fast they’re going! They have no class at all!”
Han Muzi squinted at her. “Didn’t you claim to be the most informed person? You didn’t even get news about this?”
Yan was rendered speechless. “When have I ever said that I was the most informed? Even if I wanted to find out, I’m still in your car. How do you want me to find out? I told you before to let me scout the place. Now, look at this. I’m afraid there will be heavy traffic ahead.”
However, there wasn’t any traffic ahead. Although the road was crowded with cars, there wasn’t a traffic jam.
The further they went, the more Han Muzi frowned. Yan then spoke, “Hmm, why do I have the feeling that these cars are heading to the same place as us? Are they going to the Han residence too?”
Hearing her words, Han Muzi’s face frowned even more as she glanced at a few familiar-looking cars without saying a word.
Meanwhile, Yan started guessing the situation. “What day is today? Why are they all heading toward the Han residence? Is there an event?”
An event? Han Muzi’s expression suddenly worsened. She felt… that she had figured out what Han Qing was trying to do.
As expected, when they reached the Han residence, the car park was full, and there were cars parked all around the gate. The entrance of the Han residence was packed with people which made the whole place bustle with noise.
Yan unbuckled her seatbelt and said, “It looks lively. I don’t think the Han residence has been this lively before.”
Before Han Muzi could speak, someone came over to the front of their car from the entrance.
“It’s Mr. Nan.” Yan lowered the car window. “Mr. Nan.”
Mr. Nan gave her a nod and a smile before looking toward Han Muzi. “Miss Muzi, please give me your car keys. I can help you park it at the back.”
Han Muzi was startled for a second and shook her head. “No need for that, Mr. Nan. I can do it myself.”
“Miss Muzi, please give me the car keys. Mister is waiting for you.”
Han Muzi went quiet for a second and agreed. “Alright.” She handed the car keys over to Mr. Nan and got out of the car with Yan. Both of them didn’t stand out from the crowd since they were still wearing their work clothes.
As soon as they got out of the car, Yan tidied her clothing and surveyed the surroundings. She realized the people coming out of the cars were all dressed in formal wear. A few of them came in pairs, but most of the guests were single, and most importantly—they were men.
“They’re all dressed in formal wear. What’s the occasion?”
“We’ll know when we get in.”
Afterward, the two of them were led by the servants to a different path that avoided the crowd. As they went further away, Han Muzi frowned. “Didn’t you say that my brother is waiting for me?”
“Yes, he is, Miss Muzi. But mister ordered us to dress you up first.”
Dress up? Han Muzi and Yan looked at each other. Then, Yan pointed at herself. “What about me?”
“You too, Miss Yan.”
Yan gave it a thought and asked, “Looks like there is an event tonight. Can you tell us what event this is?”
The servant gave them a warm smile. “Both of you will know later.”
Forget it. There’s no use in asking. The two of them were brought to a changing room and Han Muzi couldn’t help but frown when she saw her gift. Compared to Yan’s dress, hers was much grander.
“Oh my God!” Yan came over to place her jaw on Han Muzi’s shoulder while gasping in awe. “Your brother wants to dress you up so that he can introduce you to everyone. Looks like tonight’s banquet was prepared just for you.”
Han Muzi stayed silent as she stared at the overly-grand dress. She then turned to the servant by her side. “Must I wear this?”
The servant nodded fervently. “It is Mister’s orders, Miss Muzi. You must wear it as it was specially made and imported from abroad.”
It seemed like there wasn’t any other choice, so she nodded. “Fine.”
After she wore the dress, she started putting on makeup. There was still an hour before the banquet began, but everyone was so excited to receive an invitation from the Han Family that they came early to have a tour around the house. After all, not everyone had the opportunity to step into this place.
In North City, everyone, except Ye Moxuan, wanted to be here.
…
“Uncle Qing, is Mommy and Aunt Yan here yet?”
“Yes. The servant brought them to change.”
“Oh, can I go find Mommy later?”
“Wait till I introduce your mommy to everyone else. If she has time afterward, then yes.”
“Uncle Qing, are you trying to help Mommy find a date?”
Han Qing froze for a while, then said, “I’m just trying to let everyone from North City know that she is the lady of the Han Family. Not many people know of your mommy’s company yet, so if she meets more people, her company can expand. Do you understand my intentions?”
Oh, I understand. Not only are you finding a date for Mommy, but you’re also introducing more clients to her.”
Han Qing was dumbfounded.
“Am I right, Uncle Qing?”
“Yes. Whatever you say.”
…
At the gate of the Han residence, a pitch black car parked quietly and the dark windows concealed the figure inside.
“Young Master Ye, this is the invitation card I got from someone else. This Han Qing is a sly one. All of his guests are the elites of the business world and most of them are single men. His intentions are obvious.”
The inside of the car was dark while Ye Moxuan, who was sitting at the back, unbuckled two buttons of his shirt and unveiled his charming neck. The mask he was wearing was glowing as a sly smile was plastered on his mouth. “If you want to give my woman away, you have to go through me first.”
