Sure enough nothing would work more wonderfully than to say you were Mu Tingchen's niece.

Liao Meiling appeared much kinder in an instant.

“Oh, it turns out Mr. Mu's niece. He's having business talks with several foreign manufacturers over there. What do you want with him?”

“Well, no big deal actually.” Ye curled her lips. “I'm just getting bored staying here. I want to tell him I'll go back first.”

Liao blinked her pair of beautiful eyes and bantered with her, “Boring? Is the food here not delicious enough, or there's no handsome enough dude you have an eye for?”

Ye shook her head.

“No, no. How come? Everything's just perfect here. I'm just not used to this kind of party.”

Ye pretended to behave totally like one of those indoor goody-goody girls in front of Mrs. Liao with the intention of reducing her vigilance.

As expected, Liao took the bait.

She took Ye's hands as if with her close friend.

“Come on, let's go over there and have a chat. How can I make you bored at my birthday party?”

Thus Liao brought Ye to the northwest corner of the hall, where the design was identical with that at the bar. This area was originally designed for those lonely childes to have somewhere they could drink on their own.

Every bottle of wine was hugely expensive here.

Liao asked the bartender to bring her a c.o.c.ktail called “Long Island Iced Tea”.

It looked beautiful with light blue and pink colors mixed together.

“Have a try. It's Vincent's best and tastes quite good.”

Vincent's a bartender here. Ye looked over, and saw a white man with yellow hair waving at her smilingly.

She also raised her gla.s.s at him and nodded in return.

She normally didn't drink, but now Mrs. Liao's big geniality had made it hard for her to say no.

Therefore, she only took a small sip of it.

“Ah, you don't drink?”

Liao sounded a little surprised.

Seeing her way of drinking, Liao said guiltily, “I'm really sorry. I thought you young people would all like to drink. It's my fault. It's fine if you didn't like to drink it. I'll have someone change it for you. Is mango juice all right?”

Ye nodded.

“By the way, I can see that Mr. Mu treat you very well. I've seen the news the other day. He was very nervous and worried about you very much.”

Ye had a big mouthful of the mango juice so as to cover the smell of wine in her mouth.

“It's because my mother has asked him to take good care of me before she pa.s.sed away.”

Liao nodded and said half-jokingly, “For Family Liao to gain Mr. Mu's support, I hope Miss Ye can put in a good word for me in front of him in the future.”

Ye was a little surprised at hearing her words. “I've expected that you would have a grudge against my uncle because he smashed Mr. Shen's Charm Clubhouse not long before.”

When it came to Mr. Shen, Liao's face appeared a little ugly.

“Oh, that troublemaker, I couldn't have thanked Mr. Mu more for teaching him a lesson for me.”

Ye nodded understandingly, “I see. In fact, I am just a child in front of my uncle. My words don't carry much weight. But …”

“But what?”

“My uncle seems to be investigating Family Li recently, which makes him always in a bad mood …”

Ye didn't get it out in the open, but she knew Liao Meiling was a smart person and could catch hold of the main point from her words.

Childe Shen had a very close relations.h.i.+p with Li Haina. If Liao could manage to get Mu something useful from Childe Shen, she could certainly leave a good impression in front of Mu Tingchen.
