Chapter 120: Chapter 121: Runway Red Carpet

The security at this fashion show is pretty good. Upon hearing her, they courteously said, "Please show me."

She opened her phone, trying to pull up the invitation Ouyang Yi had sent her, but unexpectedly, the signal was bad, and after several attempts, she still couldn’t open it.

This... crappy phone!

She glared at the phone, speechless. It was still this cheap thing she bought before marrying Lu Shifeng, and she hadn’t thought of replacing it after marriage.

But it chose to break down at this critical moment!

Not being able to enter the show was a minor issue; she didn’t want Su Xingqi and Qin Mu to see her make a fool of herself!

The feeling of "an ex-boyfriend and the woman who stole him flaunting their success while you are in a sorry state" is something that... any woman who’s been cheated on would understand!

Wuwuwu... Su Xingyu was truly about to cry.

"Haha, pretending, keep pretending," Su Xingqi laughed smugly, covering her mouth, "People need to have some self-awareness, Qin Mu, don’t you agree?"

Since meeting Su Xingyu on the red carpet, Qin Mu, who was beside Su Xingqi, had been silent.

He gazed at the girl in front of him with a bit of greed. Long time no see, she seemed to have become more radiant. Her skin, already fair, now seemed tender enough to burst at a touch, and though lightly made up, she exuded a unique grace not as flashy and noble as the guests in the show but as naturally captivating as a lotus emerging from water, quietly standing there and drawing all attention.

Is she... still entangled with that man named Ouyang Yi?

Probably not, otherwise, how could she dress so poorly and carry a camera pretending to be a photojournalist to get into the show? She wanted in so bad, maybe she was hoping to reconcile with Ouyang Yi? What good is there in following that playboy? Everything Ouyang Yi could give her, he could too!

With these thoughts, Qin Mu couldn’t help but speak, "Xingyu, if you want to enter, I can take you in."

Su Xingyu looked up at him in surprise.

Beside her, Su Xingqi in a lace dress was equally surprised and cried out in shock and protest, "Qin Mu!"

Qin Mu said to Su Xingqi, "Qiqi, you need to be sensible. Look at your sister now; we should help her."

Su Xingqi bit her lip, saying, "She’s not my sister! She came home with a lawyer a few days ago and severed ties with us! Qin Mu, you don’t know how angry she made Dad! Someone like her doesn’t deserve to be my sister!" This is also why she dared to openly mock Su Xingyu in front of Qin Mu now, as she stood on moral high ground!

No matter how much she scolded Su Xingyu, the one in the wrong was still Su Xingyu!

Qin Mu incredulously turned to Su Xingyu, "Xingyu, how could you do this?!"

Su Xingyu looked at his pained expression and almost believed he was truly a good person, a cold smile tugging at her lips, "Qin Mu, what are you to me that I need to explain myself to you?"

"Qin Mu, look at her!" Su Xingqi added fuel to the fire from the side, "She doesn’t even care about you!"

During this time, although Su Xingqi was proud of having taken Qin Mu from Su Xingyu, she also fearfully noticed the man still couldn’t forget about Su Xingyu — often, during their dates, his gaze would haze out, needing several calls to snap back to reality. Su Xingqi later checked, and those were places where he shared memories with Su Xingyu.

This Su Xingyu, truly a lingering ghost!

Su Xingqi’s eyes bore undisguised malice, eagerly sowing discord, "She’s like this to her own parents and sister; she probably never loved you, Qin Mu!"

"Enough!" Qin Mu barked, stopping Su Xingqi from continuing.

He felt troubled and couldn’t believe the woman he had once loved dearly was so cold and heartless.

No, he didn’t believe it; he wouldn’t believe that Su Xingyu never loved him!

When they broke up, she was so heartbroken!

He deeply looked at the girl in light clothes in front of him, saying, "Xingyu, turn back; stop getting entangled with Ouyang Yi. He’s already dumped you. If you need money, you can tell me, I can..."

Halfway through his sentence, he realized Su Xingyu wasn’t listening at all. The girl was struggling to hold the strap of a shoulder bag with one hand, pressing her phone screen with the other, sending some sort of message.

"Xingyu!" He shouted angrily, snatching her phone, "I’m talking to you!"

"!!" Su Xingyu’s phone had a bad signal. She had to give up refreshing the electronic invitation and instead sent a text to Ouyang Yi in the show, pleading about her unfortunate situation at the entrance.

She was still typing intently, when suddenly, her hand was empty — her phone was in Qin Mu’s hand.

"Give it back!" Her anger surged; she initially found Qin Mu annoyingly noisy but let him be, never expecting him to seize her phone! "Qin Mu, are you insane!" She couldn’t hold back anymore and snapped, "Are you a Saint or what? Don’t act all virtuous after cheating! Give my phone back!"

Her voice was so loud that a few people who had been watching the commotion naturally started paying more attention, and soon more were looking over.

Along the red carpet’s barricade, many reporters swarmed, directing their cameras over. A quarrel on the red carpet — a rarity! Typically, even scandalous wealthy folks resolve matters privately; it was the first time to see such a public quarrel!

"Click" "Click" "Click"

The flashlights were going off like crazy.

Wearing a splendid dress, Su Xingqi instinctively turned her head, trying to hide behind Qin Mu.

She was a public figure; face was essential!

Qin Mu frowned, "Xingyu, why are you acting like a shrew?"

"You grab my phone and call me a shrew?" Su Xingyu was livid, angrily laughing, "Qin Mu, you scum, give my phone back! Or believe it or not, I’ll beat you to death!" Perhaps spending too much time with Lu Shifeng made her more prone to violence, daring to charge at Qin Mu, a tall man, ready to fight him head-on.

Hiding behind Qin Mu, Su Xingqi feigned shouting, "Su Xingyu, stop clinging to Qin Mu. He stopped loving you long ago!" Her voice was soft and melodious, ostensibly trying to mediate, yet it carried an alluring undertone. Many uninformed guests and journalists, upon hearing it, now saw it as a scene where the ex won’t let go and looked at Su Xingyu with increased disdain.

"That girl in the lace dress is Su Xingqi, right? Poor thing, dating a rich guy can’t avoid this sort of mess."

"Haven’t heard of any chaos in the private life of the second young master of the Qin Family, though?"

"Even if he isn’t chaotic, there’re always women rushing to him, huh?"
