The latest Yuan Expo was scheduled to be held in City A. The venue, equipment, and design of the competition would be open tendering for various contractors.

Song Yufei hosted tonight’s dinner. He invited leaders closely related to this project.

“No.” Mu Yao refused.

She had always thought Song Yufei brought her here to buy clothes for Miss Wei Ran, but now she understood his intentions.

Song Yufei wanted to use his designer as a public relations officer. What wishful thinking.

“This is your job. You represent our company’s image.” Song Yufei reminded Mu Yao.

The secretary took a leave, but luckily Mu Yao was good at drinking. Otherwise, Song Yufei wouldn’t have brought her to this dinner.

Song Yufei disliked women who wore glasses the most. Mu Yao wore a pair of old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses that everyone despised.

Song Yufei did not like it at all.

“I’m not your secretary. It’s not my job to attend a dinner. I have the right to refuse.”

“You!” Song Yufei was extremely angry.

If it weren’t for Mu Yao’s design skills, Song Yufei would have fired her long ago. All designers have a temper, so he could only suck it up.

“I don’t care if you want the clothes or not, but you have to go to the dinner.” Song Yufei threw down these words and left.

Mu Yao heaved a sigh of relief and quickly went to the fitting room to change her clothes.

When she came out again, she almost bumped into someone.

“Sister?” A woman sounded surprised.

Mu Yao raised her head and saw Bai Qiushui standing in front of her.

“Isn’t this Mrs. Lu, who used to be so famous? How did you end up like this?” An Yingying sneered as she looked at Mu Yao’s old-fashioned clothes.

Mu Yao ignored them. She handed the folded dress to the salesgirl. Then, she turned around to grab her canvas bag and was about to leave.

From the day Mu Yao decided to return to City A, she had thought she would bump into these people. However, she did not expect it to be so soon.

“You dare to try these clothes when you’re dressed like this? Why don’t you look at yourself in a mirror?”

An Yingying raised her voice on purpose.

“If she can’t afford the dresses, don’t let her try them. If someone like her tried the dresses, would we still dare to buy them? You should check if that’s anything missing.”

“Yingying.” Bai Qiushui tugged at her.

“Qiushui, you’re too kind. She hurt you back then, yet you still called her sister.”

As An Yingying spoke, she snatched the dress from the salesgirl. She looked at it and suddenly screamed.

“Ah, where’s the necklace on this dress?”

The salesgirl immediately checked the dress. The dress was still there, but the matching necklace was gone.

She quickly called out to Mu Yao, who was already at the door.

“Miss, you can’t leave.” The salesgirl stepped forward and grabbed Mu Yao’s arm. “Where’s the necklace comes with this dress that you just tried on?”

Mu Yao was also shocked. She quickly took the clothes and looked at them.

The necklace had indeed disappeared.

Mu Yao just took off the necklace and placed it on the folded clothes to hand it to the salesgirl.

How could it have disappeared?

“It wasn’t me. I returned it with the dress to you just now.” Mu Yao explained.

“The necklace is such an expensive item. You didn’t give it to me separately, but you put it together with the clothes. Are you pretending?”

The salesgirl’s face was full of contempt.

“Miss, please open your bag. We have to check your bag.”

“You can’t just search my bag.” Mu Yao refused.

“There are many sly people nowadays. Those people will steal things if they can’t afford them.” An Yingying interjected. She even deliberately increased the volume.

The customers around them heard the argument and came over to watch the show.

They were all well-dressed madams and young ladies, and when they heard this, they couldn’t help but point at Mu Yao.
