Chapter 468: Chapter 468

Jian Chenxi’s expression turned somewhat pale, her heart filled with a touch of resentment, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile and greet Chen Wanru and Ling Momo with, "Sister Chen, Miss Ling."

Ling Momo curled her lips, responding coolly, "Miss Jian."

Chen Wanru, more direct, snorted disdainfully and continued to make small talk while pulling Ling Momo along.

Jian Chenxi’s complexion grew increasingly worse, yet she still tried to laugh delicately, pretending to be extremely cordial while grabbing Lu Niange’s arm and crisply said, "Niange, let’s sit."

Lu Niange nodded stiffly and sat down with Jian Chenxi.

After that, she started to look distracted.

Not long after everyone was settled, the vice CEO of ES took to the stage to start his speech, which was nothing more than official drivel thanking everyone for their hard work throughout the year and crediting their efforts for ES’s commendable results. Once he finished, he tossed out, "Now, let’s have our CEO, Enson, speak!"

Ling Momo turned towards the stage, quite surprised.

Seeing Ling Momo’s reaction, Chen Wanru smiled, tilted her head, and in a lowered voice said, "He must be on a call again."

As soon as Chen Wanru’s words fell, the vice CEO indeed made a phone call, which was promptly answered, followed by Enson’s voice resounding.

So, that’s what they meant by "Enson making a speech!"

Ling Momo thought to herself, feeling somewhat disappointed, yet still perked up her ears to listen.

Enson’s words of good wishes were quite brief, and after a few sentences, he hung up the phone.

All the artists seemed used to their boss’s style of conduct, each with an indifferent expression. However, Ling Momo’s heart rate still quickened slightly, and her gaze softened and warmed a touch.

Subsequently, many others gave speeches, one after another, which everyone found rather dull, but they still endured and gave due face.

At last, the awards ceremony began.

The first award was naturally Chen Wanru’s, which the vice CEO of ES personally handed to her.

Everyone felt she deserved it, so the moment her name was announced, there was a round of applause.

Chen Wanru stood up, walking past Ling Momo with graceful poise.

Taking advantage of this moment, Lu Niange turned his head, seemingly to look at Chen Wanru, but his eyes were actually fixed on Ling Momo. Jian Chenxi, who witnessed this, was seething with anger. If it weren’t for maintaining her public image in front of so many people, she might really want to tear Ling Momo into pieces!

Lu Niange was already her husband, Jian Chenxi’s, legally in the eyes of the law, but she felt her distance from Lu Niange was incredibly vast...

She knew the vast chasm between her and him was Ling Momo!

After Chen Wanru stepped away, Jian Chenxi couldn’t help but blurt out, "Who would have thought that the good-for-nothing from back then would also be able to attend ES’s celebration banquet today!"

Although Jian Chenxi didn’t name anyone, Ling Momo knew the words were meant for her.

Lu Niange frowned and glared at Jian Chenxi, who pouted and settled down, staring straight ahead at the stage.

Chen Wanru hadn’t gone far and had heard everything; her seductive red lips curved into a slight smirk, tinged with sarcasm. Google seaʀᴄh novèlfire.net
