Chapter 482: Mu Donglin Was Merely Making Things Difficult

What sort of person would accompany someone for entertainment purposes?

Lin Kerou was simply insulting her in a roundabout way.

Li Beinian pretended not to catch that and said with a smile, “Which necklace caught your fancy?”

Lin Kerou had not expected that she would pick on this topic, but she happily replied with a sweet smile, “Midsummer Heart, have you heard of it?”

Her smugness did not escape Li Beinian’s eyes.

She replied, “No, I haven’t.”

Lin Kerou’s smile was slightly stiff as she said, “It’s made quite a name recently, having won an international award.”

“Is that so?” Li Beinian smiled as she remarked, “That’s not bad, you should buy it if you like it.”

Lin Kerou seemed a little awkward and gave her a friendly reminder, “The auction hasn’t started, Nian Nian.”

“Uh-huh. You’d better be quick later, then. I’m sure quite a number of people like it as much as you do.” Smiling pleasantly, Li Beinian continued, “So many people here have accompanying partners, be careful not to get out-bidden.”

“That won’t happen,” Lin Kerou said in a sugary voice as she tightened her hands around Mu Donglin’s arm. “Brother Donglin will help me get it, isn’t that right?”

Mu Donglin lowered his gaze to look at her and gave a cold grunt.

CEO Yang raised his wine glass and said, “I’ve heard about Eldest Young Master Mu a long time ago, but I didn’t think you were this young. It’s good to finally meet you.”

Given that Chantal was a huge international brand name, the CEO, of course, was used to these big events.

Mu Donglin knew who he was.

However, he raised his brow and asked, “Is this your new interest?”

He pointed at Li Beinian with a subtle look of disdain in his expression.

CEO Yang’s expression froze for a moment. Looking a little awkward, he replied, “Eldest Young Master Mu, you must be joking. I have a wife and children, so please don’t misunderstand. Miss Li is our spokesperson for Xia Nation, we’re just here as working partners.”

“So, it seems you wouldn’t even let off married men?” Mu Donglin’s expression was icy as he condescendingly looked at Li Beinian. “Where’s Mu Xichen? Has he dumped you after making use of you?”

Li Beinian’s pleasant smile did not falter as she spoke, “Eldest Young Master Mu, it’s really not a good habit to judge others by your own standards all the time.”

Mu Donglin’s expression clouded over at the casual remark.

Sensing that he was getting agitated, Lin Kerou held his arm and called out in gentle warning, “Brother Donglin.”

Mu Donglin calmed down a little as he said, giving Li Beinian an icy look, “I know Mu Xichen far more than you do. All the sweet-talking he’s done to coax you is but to target me. It makes him happy now that I’m upset. It’s just a matter of time before he gets rid of you.”

As he said this, he walked up to her slowly and whispered, “When you do come to the end of the rope, I may have a place for you.”

Li Beinian took a step back indifferently and smiled as she replied cordially, “Thank you, Eldest Young Master Mu.”

His expression turned even colder at her retreat. He raised his wine glass and said coldly, “Cheers.”

This scene caused a silent uproar among the onlookers.

Who was Mu Donglin?

The Mu Corporation’s young heir!

In events like these, there would only be people offering him a toast. When would he have ever needed to be the one offering someone a toast?

All eyes turned to behold this curious scene as whispers broke out among the crowd.

Li Beinian averted her gaze slightly and held up her glass to slightly touch his, then took a small sip.

Mu Donglin downed the wine to the last drop. Keeping his icy stare on her, he asked, “Why didn’t you finish your drink? Am I not good enough for you to accept my toast?”
