After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

"Everyone, please make way, Mr. Xu is coming!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and a path instantly opened up.

Lan Yujuan looked over at the sound and saw a middle-aged man who didn't look too old, yet whose age was hard to guess at a glance, walking towards her with an imposing presence.

When Mr. Xu arrived, he first smiled and nodded slightly to greet Chen Mo.

He then turned around, smiled meaningfully at Lan Yujuan, and said politely:

"So this is Mrs. Chen!"

"I had long heard of Mrs. Chen's unassuming nature and exceptional talent. Meeting her today, she truly is extraordinary, indeed elegant and refined!"

When the other party showered her with flowery words of praise, Lan Yujuan didn't really take it to heart.

Instead, they subtly observed Chen Mo's attitude and reaction out of the corner of their eyes, and the couple remained consistent in their expressions and demeanor.

Mr. Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them.

Seeing that his warm greeting had neither elicited excessive enthusiasm nor complete indifference from the other party, he understood:

This matter is unlikely to be easily covered up.

If the Xu Group wants to continue cooperating with Chen Mo, it will probably have to pay a price!

Lost in thought, Mr. Xu turned to look at Xu Qing behind him, his eyes full of impatience, and said:

"Look at yourself! What a mess you make of!"

"Why aren't you going home and getting yourself ready? Staying here is embarrassing!"

"If you can't even treat your own old classmates well, how can I trust you with the company in the future?"

Xu Qing was just looking for a way to save face when her father's scolding gave her an opportunity.

After saying "Excuse me, I'll be right back!", she covered her face and fled the scene in tears.

The remaining people at the scene were somewhat embarrassed.

In order not to leave a bad impression on either Xu or Chen, they each found an excuse to disperse and stop watching.

The surveillance video on the large screen at the event was promptly replaced by a promotional video for the friendly cooperation project between the two parties.

"Mr. Chen, shall we speak in private?" After making the arrangements, Mr. Xu approached Chen Mo and suggested with a smile.

Chen Mo shook his head and refused, holding the child in one arm and taking Lan Yujuan's hand in the other, preparing to leave the scene.

"Sorry, my daughter went to bed early, we should go back and rest."

"If Mr. Xu has any work-related matters, please contact my assistant directly later!"

After saying a few simple words, Chen Mo was about to leave this troublesome place with the mother and daughter.

Old Xu was clearly a shrewd person. Seeing Chen Mo's tough attitude, he immediately gave his female secretary a look and stepped forward to block Lan Yujuan's path.

"Mrs. Chen, your company has been cooperating with our Xu Group for many years, and it has always been a very pleasant experience!"

"Especially today, the two sides have another new overseas project, which is about to open a new chapter."

"Please don't let a moment of impulsiveness jeopardize your company's long-term interests!"

"Don't worry, this conversation will not take long, at most no more than fifteen minutes."

After experiencing a series of events, Lan Yujuan had long wanted to leave and return to her own room.

But upon further reflection, what the other party's secretary said also made a lot of sense, so he looked up at Chen Mo and earnestly advised him:

"Honey, why don't you two talk some more?"

Chen Mo frowned, about to refuse.

Lan Yujuan knew that Chen Mo made this choice entirely because of her and her daughter.

If it weren't for this unexpected incident involving himself and his daughter, Chen Mo's new project collaboration with the Xu Group should have been finalized tonight.

"Go ahead, don't worry about us!"

"Perfect timing! Xiaoman was hoping to have a scoop of ice cream, but she hasn't had one yet. Now she has a chance to make up for it."

"And just now, I ran into a friend here who said a few words on my behalf, and I'd like to thank him as well."

Chen Mo looked down at her, his attitude clear:

"Yujuan, if you want to leave, we can leave anytime."

"All my achievements are for the purpose of protecting myself and my family, without compromising my family's rights in order to achieve my career goals."

Lan Yujuan smiled and nodded, then gently tickled Chen Mo's palm with the hand she was holding.

"I know."

"Don't worry, I'm really fine now."

"Besides, look at the people around here now, who would dare to mess with me again?"

Although she never participates in Chen Mo's company's business.

Judging from everyone's reactions just now, almost all the guests present today are closely related to the Xu Group and Chen Mo's company.

Everyone hopes that the two companies can have a closer cooperation, rather than having their cooperation interrupted and their relationship deteriorate due to some other issues.

Women can argue, but they shouldn't ruin someone else's livelihood because of a momentary emotion.

"Go quickly, and come back soon. We'll be waiting for you at the usual spot!"
