C341 Misunderstanding Is a Trap
On the day of the costume ball.
"Mom, hurry up! Shaozhe's car is already waiting outside." Shen Muxue lifted the veil hat on her head and carried her cumbersome and cumbersome gown as she hurried downstairs.
"Look! Did you forget again!? I already said that I can't call you mom. What if I expose myself? Do you want to go to the Su family and trade with that stutter?"
Wang Jialan was wearing the same dress. The black feather hat on her head coupled with the golden curly hair made her look ancient and noble.
The mother and daughter were like noble ladies and mistresses in medieval oil paintings.
"Got it! Got it! We haven't arrived at the Chi family yet, why are you in such a hurry? "
As she spoke, Shen Muxue finally pursed the lipstick on her lips. She couldn't wait to rush out and see Han Shaozhe.
But before she could even take a step out, Shen Muxue was pulled in front of Wang Jialan.
Wang Jialan solemnly reminded, "Muxue, you must remember. You are now a relative from abroad who came to seek refuge with us. Shen Xueli, this concerns whether you can successfully marry into the Han family. Do you understand?"
"Mom, no, Auntie, do you think Old Madam Su will really keep her word? If we help her get rid of Shen Xining, will she help me marry Shaozhe?" Shen Muxue asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. The old mistress has not liked Shen Xining for a long time. Thinking about it, how could the Su family tolerate a countryside girl like Shen Xining? So the old mistress promised me that as long as I let Shen Xining leave... I will fulfill one of my conditions. As the saying goes, know your daughter better than your mother. The madame views Shen Xining as you. Naturally, she can only let me, as her mother, take action. Fortunately, my brain works quickly. I have thought of a foolproof method."
Wang Jialan proudly raised her head and her smile never faded from her face.
Shen Muxue held Wang Jialan's arm and said proudly, "It was mother who had the idea to let me come back openly as Shen Muxue's cousin Shen Xueli and then let the old madam pull strings and allow me to marry Shaozhe."
"The Han family is second only to the Su family, the Wen family, and the Chi family's family. They wholeheartedly wanted to be on par with these three families. It was rare for the old madam to speak. The Han family will never refuse. Who doesn't want to climb up with the help of the Su family? After you get rid of Shen Xining, you will marry Han Shaozhe in a grand manner. The status of our Shen family will also rise. Who would care if Shen Xining is Shen Muxue or not? The grudge between us and the Su family has also ended. One arrow to kill two birds with one stone."
Wang Jialan's finger lightly tapped in the air, and just like that, she decided Shen Xining's life and death.
Shen Muxue frowned and said, "Mom, you are treating Shen Xining this way. What if other people become suspicious?"
"Haha, as a mother, I am famous for being good to my children. But if my own daughter makes a mistake and destroys her relationship with justice, not only will everyone not say that I am bad, they will also praise me for being reasonable." Wang Jialan laughed lightly.
"Oh, I understand. No wonder you want the old mistress to let Shaozhe accompany us to the Chi family today. So there is a reason." Shen Muxue smiled and said, "The rumor of Shaozhe proposing to Shen Xining has spread to everyone. If there is anything between the two of them today... Then the old mistress can say that Shen Xining cheated on her and then chase her out of Su family. As a sad girlfriend, I choose to forgive Shaozhe. That Shaozhe will definitely choose me. After all, the Han family would not accept a woman with a broken heart. "
"As expected of my daughter. It's not like you don't know how much the Han family cares about their reputation. Han Shaozhe was filial as well. There was a rumor that he had proposed to Shen Xining. He could not refute the Han family saying that it was a misunderstanding. Could he still admit that he liked Shen Xining in front of everyone and accuse them of messing around? If he was doing this for the sake of the Han family and his parents, he could only push the blame onto Shen Xining. With you adding fuel to the fire, you will be able to secure the position of the Han family's Young Madam!"
Wang Jialan patted the back of Shen Muxue's hand in a calculated manner, as if everything was under her control.
Shen Muxue said unhappily, "Then I will let this slut Shen Xining off easy today. Let Shaozhe accompany her. When she is chased out by the Su family, I will teach her a lesson!"
"Alright, remember, don't call the wrong person. Success or failure will depend on this." Wang Jialan reminded again.
"Got it. Let's go. Don't let Shaozhe wait too long."
After saying that, the mother and daughter tidied up their skirts and took the mask that was the same color as their clothes and left the house.
In the courtyard outside the door, Han Shaozhe impatiently waited. When he saw Shen Muxue and Wang Jialan, he also casually nodded his head.
"Shaozhe, I told you to wait a long time." Shen Muxue sat next to Han Shaozhe and held his hand.
Han Shaozhe pulled Shen Muxue's hand away unhappily. "Be careful. I don't know why you changed your name to Shen Xueli, but I have said it clearly. It is not possible between us."
"Young Master Han, our daughter has followed you without any reason. Are you saying these words to be irresponsible? I will definitely ask your parents some other day to see if the Han family can afford to lose face like this. " Wang Jialan retorted.
"You..."
Han Shaozhe knew that his parents would never accept him doing such a thing and could only tolerate Shen Muxue's unreasonable pestering. But he did not understand why his parents suddenly made him have a good relationship with Shen Muxue, who was disguised as Shen Xueli.
What was going on?2
Shen Muxue looked at Han Shaozhe with understanding and comforted, "Shaozhe, I know you still think about my sister. But she is now under the Third Master and she has rejected your proposal. This is not something I can control. I know that whatever I say, you will think that I am making excuses. Actually, I asked you to accompany me this time because I helped you to find out that my sister will also go to the ball today and that the Third Master will not go. I want to create an opportunity for you guys to say all that you need to say. "
After saying that, Shen Muxue wiped the corners of her eyes and looked at Han Shaozhe sadly.
Han Shaozhe looked at Shen Muxue emotionally. After all, the two families had some connections and did not want to make things difficult for them.
"Muxue, is what you said true? You want me to go and see Xining?"
"Yes, but Shaozhe, right now I am Shen Xueli, and elder sister is Shen Muxue. You must not make a mistake, or else it will be harming elder sister. Do you understand?" Shen Muxue reminded.
Han Shaozhe's mind was filled with Shen Xining, and he hurriedly nodded. "Muxue, no, Sherry, don't worry. I will not forget your help. As for the matter between us, I will definitely give you an explanation."
"Yes." Shen Muxue sadly turned her face away from crying but secretly smiled at Wang Jialan who was beside her.
Done!
...
The Chi family's costume ball was held in a villa by the sea. The sea was vast and the starry sky was bright. The scene was luxurious and unforgettable. Every one of the items was personally arranged by Mrs. Chi and Daly.
Although Daly was not as strong as Su Yina, her pursuit of beauty made her a celebrity in the fashion industry. That was why every year's costume dance attracted a lot of celebrities. In addition, Miss Young Madam had not participated in it for the past two years. The ball got bigger and bigger every year.
Although it was a costume ball, everyone here understood. This is a fashion festival, if you pretend to be weird, then you're definitely going to lose. Therefore, most people would disguise themselves as characters in the movies, or as coquettish as possible. Or pure. Every detail must be precise, but it must not lose its own style.
Only a big celebrity, a big director, a big producer, or even some young ladies at the scene would be captivated by you through a mask.
When Shen Muxue pulled Han Shaozhe out of the car, many people cast envious gazes. She saw Han Shaozhe wearing a white mask with blue diamonds, and in her eyes, it was as if he was the only one left.
He had money, a family background, and he was the man she liked since she was young. As long as she married him, she would become a woman that the whole world would envy.
However, suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Muxue. Some people even screamed.
