The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable

Chapter 1100: The Lie Will Be Exposed (3)

Qiao Mu and Key met a few famous designers and started discussing fashion design matters. Their conversation was very heated.

One of them praised, ” Key, your disciple is really amazing. He’s so enlightened at such a young age. ”

Key smiled. ” Not really. I didn’t teach her anything. She’s the one with the talent. ”

Qiao Mu was a little embarrassed to be praised by her senior like this, but she was very happy in her heart.

At this moment, a woman in her thirties walked over. ” Key, long time no see. ”

Key nodded politely at her. ” Aya, long time no see. ”

The woman called Aya sized up Qiao Mu and said with a fake smile, “”Is this the designer you just signed? I didn’t expect you to be such a beauty. I remember you saying that you don’t need a vase by your side, right?”

Qiao Mu looked at the other party, her eyes clearly filled with hostility. After the other party finished speaking, Qiao Mu saw a hint of coldness flash across Key’s eyes.

” I’ve never needed a pretty face by my side, ” Key said coldly. ” Qiao Mu was signed by me because she has the ability. ”

“Is that so? I really haven’t seen her work before.” Aya smiled.

” Aya, I didn’t sign you back then because your works lacked spirit. It’s good for you to understand Qiao Mu’s works better. ” Key kindly reminded her, but Aya’s expression did not look too good.

Qiao Mu listened to their conversation from the side and somewhat understood. This Aya had once wanted to become a designer for the Key brand but was rejected by Key, so she was jealous of her.

Aya looked at Qiao Mu and said in a strange tone, “” It seems like you’re not just a pretty face after being acknowledged by Key. Or rather, your looks meet Key’s standards. He likes girls like you, so he kept you by his side? ”

Qiao Mu looked at her calmly and smiled. ” Miss Aya, I think you should take a look at my work first before giving me your evaluation. Perhaps you have the intention of being a pretty face, but don’t classify everyone into this category. Everyone in the industry knows that in Teacher Key’s eyes, ability speaks for itself, and other conditions are not worth mentioning. ”

Aya originally thought that Qiao Mu was easy to bully, so she wanted to vent her anger on Qiao Mu for being denied by Key. She did not expect Qiao Mu to return the favor without batting an eyelid. She did not know what to say for a moment, so she turned around and left.

Key explained, ” Aya is doing well in this industry. It’s just that her work is like most designers, too rigid. That’s why she was unwilling to accept my rejection. ”

Qiao Mu smiled. ” Teacher Key, this is already the umpteenth time you’ve praised me tonight. I’m a little overwhelmed by your praise. ”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Key looked at Qiao Mu’s mischievous expression and shook his head helplessly.

Halfway through the banquet, Qiao Mu was about to leave. When she came out of the washroom, she stood in the corridor and sent Li Yan a message to ask when she would be done.

She put away her phone and was about to return to the banquet hall when she saw Ning Tongtong walking over from the opposite side.

Ning Tongtong stopped in front of Qiao Mu and shielded her abdomen with her hands. She smiled and said, “” Qiao Mu, your shrewdness is deeper than I imagined. Everyone knows that I’m pregnant with Li Yan’s child, but you’re able to keep your cool. Do you really believe Li Yan, or do you not care at all? ”
