Chapter 112

The person coming over to make a toast hurriedly explained, "It was arranged by the municipal government. It was originally supposed to be held at that unit over there, but somehow it ended up at your place, and we all moved here. Third Young Master, you’re not angry, are you?"

Ou Mucen narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to speak, but at that moment, a young man wearing an off-white suit and sporting a dark red bow tie approached him from the right: "Little Uncle, you just came down?"

It was Ou Yuze!

Ou Mucen turned his head and looked at him indifferently: "Hmm, how is it? Did you and your parents manage to entertain all the guests today?"

Ou Yuze’s smile was full of warmth: "We’ve taken care of everyone, but the mayor’s daughter has been asking about you, Little Uncle. Now that you’re here, you should go and keep her company."

With that, his gaze shifted toward the front of the venue, which was already filled with people.

Following the direction of his glance, Ou Mucen saw that, indeed, in the very front row, a young girl dressed in a pale yellow dress and wearing a sparkling headpiece had stood up and was eagerly looking over in this direction.

"See, Little Uncle? She’s been waiting for you to come over, and Grandpa is also over there; he’s saved a seat for you."

The young man holding the wine glass didn’t reveal what he was truly thinking; his gaze rested on the scene in front of him, but where was the real focus of his attention? Nobody knew.

In the end, Ou Mucen went over, not because of the mayor’s daughter, but because at that moment, he saw that the old man was indeed looking in his direction.

Forget it, it’s just the length of a few performances, he thought. He would sit through them and that would be it. noveldrama

As he approached, he indeed received a warm welcome, especially from the mayor’s daughter, who was close to clinging onto him as soon as he arrived.

"Third Young Master, this is our Qianqian. She’s 23 this year, just graduated from university."

23?

Just graduated from university?

In his mind, he involuntarily thought of another woman who was also 23.

See, this is the difference. Others are just graduating from university at 23, while that dead woman, on the other hand, is already a widow with a child in tow.

Thinking of the woman from earlier, his mood grew even worse.

Indeed, his mood had been bad all along, ever since he left Orchid Garden, it had never improved.

"Okay, okay, the show is about to start, let’s watch the performance," Bai Tingfang noticed his son’s tense face and hurriedly changed the subject.

Seeing this, the mayor’s wife had no choice but to give up.

It was at this time that the long-prepared performance on the stage finally began. Soon after a chorus of children’s voices drifted from behind, the audience saw a group of children running onto the stage.

"My goodness, there are children too?"

"Right? Why is there a performance by kids? It’s so late, where did they come from?"

"..."

Seeing the group of children, many in the audience started to murmur, and even Ou Mucen furrowed his brows.

Who in the world made this arrangement?

Has their brain been flooded with water?

While watching, the children had begun their performance. At this moment, the whole hall was filled with their innocent voices. Those cheerful kids seemed to forget their fatigue and hunger, continuing to perform energetically.

Yes, children are the most pure and innocent beings in this world.

And yet, those sitting below didn’t take them seriously at all, they were nothing but privileged elites.

Ou Mucen looked on with a touch of disdain and took out his phone: "Have you found the thief?"
