After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Ex-Mother-in-Law’s Harassment

The man slapped his thigh, “Oh my, it turns out to be Lady Ning, indeed seeing is believing! Don’t worry, I have absolutely no problem with styling, I’ll make sure you’re the brightest woman tonight…”

Ning Yichu smiled faintly, somewhat amused. She hadn’t expected that, after being divorced for so long, people still remembered her.

However, it was clear that he was a close friend of Mu Bailang and meant no harm.

Makeovers for women were time-consuming and laborious, so Mu Bailang casually found a VIP lounge to lie down, while Fu Cheng took Ning Yichu to the next room for a full-body spa, followed by choosing a dress and accessories for her look.

One had to admit, the technique of this club was truly excellent.

During the spa, she fell asleep, only to be gently awakened by the beautician, “Lady Ning, the treatment is finished, you can go get your makeup done and choose a look.”

Almost two hours later, Mu Bailang was sitting in the VIP lounge, reading through documents and occasionally making video calls.

Not until the door of the lounge was knocked and Fu Cheng’s seductive voice came from outside, “Elder Mu, it’s all set!”

“Come in.” Mu Bailang lazily closed his laptop and raised his head to see Ning Yichu pushing the door open. He was stunned at first sight and couldn’t help but stand up and applaud, “Xiao Chuchu, you really shouldn’t be going to the North Pole; you should come to my entertainment group. I could definitely turn you into the next superstar. You are too beautiful.”

The light blue dress contoured her slender waist, paired with a teardrop-shaped sapphire necklace. The faint fragrance in the air made her seem like a mermaid who had stepped out of the deep sea, noble and elegant.

Ning Yichu tucked a stray hair behind her ear and pretended to sigh, “I wouldn’t dare. Who knows how many times Young Master Mu has said this to how many girls?”

“Ouch, that hurts!” Mu Bailang exaggeratedly covered his chest, “What do you take me for? Could those gaudy girls ever catch my eye?”

“Given how often you hit the entertainment headlines, trying to think of you as a gentleman, my mind can’t help but conjure up images of some wild parties.”

“My reputation is ruined, ruined…”

The two joked around and left the styling club, heading straight for the Li Mansion.

Elsewhere, the Li Mansion was filled with luxury cars, and flowers lined the path; soft carpets were laid on the ground, emphasizing the sense of dignity and grandeur.

As Granny Li’s eldest grandson, Li Lingyang naturally needed to entertain the guests.

Shen Jiangqing stayed by his side, looking very much the lady of the house.

To show her importance, she had her makeup done early that morning and was perfectly styled.

Wherever she went, people praised her and Li Lingyang for being a match made in heaven, ‘a talented man and a beautiful lady’, and being in the spotlight made her extremely satisfied.

Only this way could she temporarily forget that she and Li Lingyang weren’t yet married and how much Old Madam Li disliked her.

In addition, Li Lingyang’s parents and some of his siblings had also arrived.

Li Jianbin and his wife, Su Huimiao, who lived in another villa area and had just returned from a vacation abroad, first paid their respects to Elder Madam Li before Shen Jiangqing took them to see their precious grandson.

Chengcheng ran over excitedly as soon as he saw his grandparents, shouting “grandpa, grandma.”

Su Huimiao, who was somewhat biased towards boys, ignored Doudou and lovingly stroked the boy’s hair, “Chengcheng has grown taller, let granny have a look, husband, look at Chengcheng’s little face, he looks so much like Lingyang did when he was young.”

A stern expression was customary for Li Jianbin’s face, but he couldn’t hide his joy and hummed in agreement.

Su Huimiao then took Shen Jiangqing’s hand, telling her to focus her thoughts on Li Lingyang and to strive for an early marriage.

Shen Jiangqing bit her lower lip, seemingly filled with grievances.

“What’s wrong? Did Aling mistreat you…” Su Huimiao’s question was cut short as her gaze suddenly fell upon a man and woman who had just entered the gate, her expression freezing on her face.

A striking couple had walked in, surrounded by a group of guests.

The man was in a flashy red suit, unmissable.

But even more eye-catching was the graceful woman standing next to him!

Shen Jiangqing followed Su Huimiao’s gaze, a disbelieving light surging in her eyes, almost suspecting she was seeing things…that woman, was that Ning Yichu?

How come she was wearing such a beautiful dress and had gotten together with Mu Bailang?

Ning Yichu leaned on Mu Bailang’s arm, nonchalantly making her way through the crowd, a faint and thin smile on her lips, holding a black gift box bag with noble elegance.

As Su Huimiao came to her senses, she immediately charged over with a fierce momentum.

Ning Yichu only felt a gust of wind hitting her face, and then the bag in her hand was snatched away by Su Huimiao, who threw it viciously to the ground.

Grinding her teeth, Su Huimiao said, “Ning Yichu? You shameless woman, how dare you show your face here? The Li Family doesn’t welcome you; leave immediately——”

Elder Madam Li didn’t know that when Ning Yichu had divorced back then, she was pregnant with an illegitimate child, but she was very clear about it!

In her view, this was nothing less than cuckoldry for her son, and now she had the audacity to show up today; what did she want?

Inside the gift box was the birthday present Ning Yichu had carefully prepared for Granny Li. Seeing it thrown harshly on the ground, a flicker of pain crossed her eyes as she quickly picked up the box, gently opened it to check, and, fortunately, the contents were intact, not smashed.

But Su Huimiao’s action had successfully caused her to chill.

“Mrs. Li, I came to wish Granny Li a happy birthday. Put another way, I am a guest, am I not? Is this the so-called hospitality of your family?”

More than seven years ago, she had married Li Lingyang and lived in the Yudu Dragon Bay.

Li Lingyang rarely came home, and by rights, she could have gone out to work, but Su Huimiao repeatedly made excuses to stop her and stayed at the Yudu Dragon Bay, forcing her to serve tea, wash clothes, cook, and occasionally even wash her feet, which was worse than being a maid.

“Get out! The Li Family doesn’t have a guest like you! Don’t think that just because you’ve hooked up with Mu Bailang and are wearing a designer dress, you can pretend to be a socialite; you’re not worthy!”

The corners of Ning Yichu’s mouth curled up in a cold, mocking smile, “The birthday blessing is for Granny Li, and once the gift is delivered, I will naturally leave.”

“What good thing could you possibly bring? Our Li Family is not one of those families that cannot be shown in public…”

“Aunt,” Mu Bailang slightly narrowed his sharp, peach blossom eyes, “be mindful of the occasion, don’t tear down your own family’s stage; it won’t look good when trying to mend it later.”

“My mother was unaware of the disgraceful things this wretch had done and thus sent her the invitation,” Su Huimiao sneered coldly, but the more she spoke, the more furious she became.

No, her son, a man bearing the glory of being bright and prominent, was actually being tainted by this piece of vermin.

Su Huimiao raised her hand to slap Ning Yichu across the face!

Suddenly, her wrist was tightly grabbed.

Annoyed, Su Huimiao turned around, only to see a clearly defined large palm firmly grasping her arm!

Shockingly, she exclaimed, “Son, you…”

“Mom, it was me who had Mu Bailang bring her here,” Li Lingyang said, with raised eyebrows and an indifferent voice, his gaze lingering on Ning Yichu.

The evening gown perfectly accentuated her proud figure, curvy in all the right places with a slender waist, the exposed skin smooth and delicate as snow, reflecting an unusual luster under the lights, especially those lips, plump and enticing.

Suddenly, the memory of that last kiss crossed his mind.

Her thin lips were like sweet jelly, beckoning for a kiss…

“What?” The color drained from Su Huimiao’s face, always assuming it was Ning Yichu who had bewitched Elder Madam Li, annoyed, she said, “Son, you know her shamelessness, and with so many people at tonight’s event, you deliberately wanted her to upset me, right?”

Li Lingyang gently released Su Huimiao’s arm, emanating a dangerous aura, “Mom, I invited her, and Granny is very much looking forward to seeing her. If it bothers you too much, you’re welcome to leave early.”

Su Huimiao patted her chest, almost crying out ‘unfilial son!’

Could she really choose this woman over her own mother?

But she couldn’t refute her son and Elder Madam Li to their faces and had to reluctantly let someone lead Ning Yichu to the place for writing gifts.

Shen Jiangqing, however, felt tumultuous inside, her eyes brimming with grudging poison, especially after Li Lingyang stepped in to help Ning Yichu, her hand trembling uncontrollably at her side.

What do you mean ‘he invited her’? It was the old hag who invited her!

In front of her, his fiancée, he brazenly defended his ex-wife; where could she put her face?

Her eyes flickered, and she deliberately said to Su Huimiao, “Seeing how precious Lady Ning was with it just now, I wonder what kind of gift she has brought for Granny Li?”
