Murong Shaoyang’s parents turned their gazes away from their conversation and looked at the newcomer, their expressions suddenly becoming serious as they quickly walked up to meet them.
Everyone was shocked once again. What was this all about?
Li Jingmo’s phoenix-like eyes fixated on the newcomer, his pupils contracting slightly.
Of course, Li Jingmo knew the man, as the Li Family had cooperated with him before, but he was certain the man did not recognize him.
The high-and-mighty big shot of Jingdu City, the man from Mo Corporation who everyone feared, Master Mo Yunchen, how could he appear in Hai City, much less at the Murong Family’s event? He didn’t believe the Murong Family had the clout to invite Mo Yunchen.
"President Mo, how come you are here?" Chairman Murong had worked with Mo’s before and had met Mo Yunchen, but here he refrained from calling him Master Mo like others in Jingdu City and opted for President Mo instead.
Mo Sheng, who was beside Mo Yunchen, stepped forward, "I apologize for the abrupt visit, Chairman Murong. I hope I haven’t caused any disturbance."
"A disturbance? How could it be a disturbance?" Chairman Murong was a handsome middle-aged man who was typically imposing with others but couldn’t help but smile cordially in the presence of Mo Yunchen.
Mo Sheng smiled before turning to Chairman Murong, "I wonder if Master Li from Li Group might be here?"
They had just found out that the girl had been taken away by Master Li, with an employee breaking down and speaking out.
At that moment, Luo Yi and Manager Bai had unsightly expressions, with Luo Yi even giving the employee a kick. Mo Sheng quite admired Luo Yi for the loyalty he showed to Li Jingmo, his brother.
Once they had ascertained it was Li Jingmo, they had been prepared to head to the Li Family’s but then learned that today was Chairman Murong and his wife’s thirtieth anniversary celebration. Li Jingmo would definitely bring the girl to the event, so they headed straight to the banquet.
"Jingmo?!" Chairman Murong was taken aback, and beside him, Murong Shaoyang was startled, his gaze unconsciously shifting to Li Jingmo who was standing next to him.
Li Jingmo had an inscrutable expression, making it unclear what he was thinking.
Feng Bai’s gaze had been filled with a sense of familiarity since the moment Mo Yunchen entered. She kept trying to recall if she knew him, but it seemed like she did not?
Unseen by others, ever since Mo Yunchen had arrived, Su Qing who Madam Fu had engaged in conversation was staring at Mo Yunchen, her expression distant, her head suddenly throbbing with pain.
She didn’t understand why her heart began pounding fiercely and her legs moved involuntarily towards the man called Master Mo upon seeing him.
"Su Qing, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Fu Lixin asked worriedly upon noticing Su Qing clutching her head.
Su Qing raised her head, confusion still lingering in her eyes. She shook her head forcefully, "I’m fine."
"Good to hear you’re fine. If you feel unwell, be sure to let us know right away," said Madam Fu with concern. She was aware that Su Qing sometimes experienced headaches due to her memory loss.
Su Qing smiled faintly and nodded, her gaze involuntarily returning to Mo Yunchen, her expression growing vague again. She didn’t know what was happening to her, why she had such a strange feeling upon encountering that man, despite not remembering or knowing anything.
Chairman Murong looked in the direction of Li Jingmo, following his gaze, Mo Sheng saw a tall and imposing man standing in the center of the hall, his handsome face devoid of any expression. Mo Sheng was taken aback when his gaze landed on the girl next to Li Jingmo.
The girl appeared to be around eighteen, with a beautiful and moving appearance. Her eyes, as gentle as autumn water, met his. Her face did seem familiar, somewhat resembling the Madam. Could this girl be the Madam?
Mo Yunchen looked at Feng Bai, and as her gaze shifted to him, she suddenly stepped forward a few steps from beside Li Jingmo.
Li Jingmo’s expression changed, as he grabbed hold of Feng Bai, "What are you doing?"
Feng Bai was taken aback and looked at Li Jingmo, whose expression was looking rather unsightly, "What am I doing? I just..."
Li Jingmo tightened his grip on Feng Bai’s hand, not allowing her to take a step away from him.
Mo Yunchen stepped forward, and Li Jingmo’s phoenix-like eyes watched him warily, "I wonder what Master Mo would want with me?"
"Master Li, it would be best if you stood aside. Master Mo is only here to confirm something," Mo Sheng interrupted, gripping Li Jingmo’s hand. Li Jingmo’s face soured as he tried to break free but was firmly held by Mo Sheng.
Mo Sheng was no ordinary man, and even if Li Jingmo was more capable than Mo Sheng, he couldn’t free himself from Mo Sheng’s restraint for the moment.
Mo Yunchen stood in front of Feng Bai, who blinked her beautiful eyes at Mo Yunchen, "I feel like I know you... but then again, I feel like I don’t?"
Mo Yunchen’s expression tensed as he stared at Feng Bai, silent for a long while.
