The waiter didn't dare to slack off at all and quickly made a gesture of invitation to Mu Yao.
But Mu Yao took a look but did not enter the banquet hall. Instead, she looked at Zhong Tiancheng expressionlessly and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Su has nothing to do with this matter. There is no need for him to stay for examination."
Seeing that Mu Yao actually took the initiative to speak for him, Su Chen turned to look at her in surprise.
He also thought that his future wife was a cold-blooded type who would be too lazy to care about him even if she knew he was innocent.
Unexpectedly, I was mistaken.
Mu Yao is obviously a cold-hearted person on the surface, but he has some kind thoughts in his heart.
But think about it, how could the wife that Master found for him be unreliable?
Hearing Mu Yao speak for Su Chen, the corner of Zhong Tiancheng's mouth twitched obviously.
Xu Xiong noticed the change in Zhong Tiancheng's expression, and quickly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Miss Mu, how do you know that this matter has nothing to do with him?"
"Because we have been together just now."
Mu Yao looked at Xu Xiong indifferently, not realizing there was anything wrong with this sentence.
On the contrary, other people had expressions of astonishment upon hearing this.
Mu Xinghe, in particular, was so surprised that he even gave Su Chen a slap in the face.
He knew very well how cold and indifferent his second sister was to men!
There were many young masters chasing Mu Yao in the capital, but Mu Yao had never been attracted to any of them, let alone being alone with a man.
Therefore, the fact that Mu Yao and Su Chen stayed together was simply a fantasy to him, so outrageous that it made people go numb.
"Mu Yao, you can't joke about this kind of thing..."
The corners of Zhong Tiancheng's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes could no longer remain gentle.
Mu Yao's face was still expressionless, but when she looked at him, her eyes were a little more disgusted.
"Why am I joking? And do we know each other well?"
"What?"
Zhong Tiancheng was stunned by this rhetorical question.
Mu Yao's eyes swept across Zhong Tiancheng's face calmly, and Mu Yao didn't look at him again, with obvious alienation in her tone.
"We don't know each other well, so don't call me by my name directly, it will make me feel sick."
"you……"
Zhong Tiancheng felt as if he had been slapped hard by Mu Yao on the face, and it was burning.
Especially with so many people watching around.
After scanning the surrounding area, Zhong Tiancheng's eyes gradually turned cold.
The people who were still watching the excitement looked at him and then looked away, for fear of causing displeasure to the young master of the Zhong family.
Su Chen suppressed a smile, turned to look at Mu Yao, who always had a cold expression, and coughed lightly: "I didn't expect you to have such a side?"
After a few seconds of silence, Mu Yao said expressionlessly: "I just don't think it's necessary to be merciful to people I hate."
"Well, I agree with that."
Smiling slightly and nodding, Su Chen looked at the angry Zhong Tiancheng in front of him, his face darkened with anger, with a bit of contempt in his eyes.
"Mr. Zhong, there is no need to join the Xu family in slandering me, because I don't even care about the pair of broken bottles you bought!"
"you!"
When Zhong Tiancheng saw that Su Chen said such a thing at this time, he was so angry that he almost cursed in front of so many people.
However, the Xu family father and son are very discerning.
Seeing that Zhong Tiancheng was insulted by Su Chen, Xu Tianyi quickly stepped forward and angrily said with a sinister face: "I didn't take the bottle because I didn't have enough money. Now you are making excuses and saying you don't like it. Do you think we will believe you?"
"Since you said you didn't like the bottle, why did you participate in the auction at that time!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen glanced at Xu Tianyi coldly, then looked at Zhong Tiancheng again, answering Xu Tianyi's questions while staring at Zhong Tiancheng.
"Why did you participate in the bidding... Is it because Mr. Zhong said that it would be inappropriate for me not to bid for anything?"
Shrugging, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth with a contemptuous smile: "Since Mr. Zhong likes taking pictures so much, I will play with him. Isn't this normal?"
Xu Tianyi was confused by Su Chen's words, and Zhong Tiancheng didn't even react. It wasn't until a few seconds later that he realized that he had been tricked by Su Chen.
However, there was nothing wrong with what Su Chen said. Zhong Tiancheng had no excuse to scold him even if he wanted to.
Phew!
In the middle of the banquet hall, An Xiaoyun lowered her head and couldn't help but laugh.
Everyone looked over and found that she was half-lying on the table with her head hanging down, her graceful shoulders shaking, obviously suppressing a smile for her hard work.
"Xiaoyun..."
Gu Qingshi coughed lightly, trying to remind An Xiaoyun to pay attention to her image, but she could barely hold back the smile on her face.
An Xiaoyun smiled like this, and some people in the crowd also let out deliberately suppressed laughter.
Zhong Tiancheng glanced over with sharp eyes. After those people suppressed their laughter, he looked at Su Chen with cold eyes, his face already dark.
"Are you making excuses? Making excuses for stealing something!"
"Mr. Zhong, it's boring for you to slander people like this!"
Su Chen raised his eyebrows, looked directly at Zhong Tiancheng with a sneer, and continued: "Besides, what can I steal from a pair of broken bottles?"
"What do you mean!"
Xu Xiong couldn't bear it and took a step forward. His cold aura instantly depressed the surrounding atmosphere.
But facing him, Su Chen still wasn't timid at all, and instead let out a sneer.
"What's the meaning?"
Looking at Xu Xiong with disdain, Su Chen said slowly, "Mr. Xu, does he really don't know or is he pretending not to know? Of course it's because those bottles are fake!"
"What?"
"Fake!"
"The Xu family actually put up fakes for auction?"
As soon as the word "fake" came out, there was an exclamation in the banquet hall.
Xu Xiong was visibly shocked. After noticing Zhong Tiancheng's gaze on him, he quickly turned around to explain.
"Mr. Zhong, don't listen to the nonsense of a driver. He doesn't understand anything. How can you tell whether something is a fake or genuine?"
After quickly explaining, Xu Xiong looked at Su Chen again.
With the hatred of his son being injured, the look in his eyes at Su Chen now had obvious murderous intent.
"You are slandering! Do you mean it is a fake if you say it is a fake? Who do you think you are!"
"You're just a driver, and you're here to judge the authenticity of auction items. How do you get the qualifications?"
Xu Xiong's words silenced the noisy exclamations around him.
Everyone looked at Su Chen suspiciously again, and many people had a little more disdain for Su Chen in their eyes.
Indeed, what does a driver know?
If he could really tell the authenticity of something just by looking at it at an auction, why would he be a driver? He could just become an appraiser!
Zhong Tiancheng's face looked much better now.
Seeing this scene happening as he expected, Su Chen sneered, took out a few pieces of paper from the file in his hand and threw them on the table in front of him.
"Before you think I'm slandering, you might as well read what's on it first!"
