Jiang Jingheng left the villa, originally intending to call Mu Yan, but ended up calling Song Cheng’an."Where is Mu Yan?"

After hearing this, Jiang Jingheng hung up the phone and drove away.
Zhao Xiyue’s birthday party was held in a villa in the suburbs belonging to the Zhao Family.
It was her twenty-seventh birthday, and most of those invited were socialite young ladies and gentlemen from wealthy families, along with a few friends from her circle, such as Mu Yan.
Mu Yan arrived just before seven. Tonight she wore a plain white long dress that looked simple and elegant without overshadowing the host.
As the birthday star, Zhao Xiyue wore a bold red off-shoulder long dress, looking radiant and elegant.
When she arrived, Zhao Xiyue personally went to the door to greet her.
"Mu Yan, why are you so late? The party is about to start." Zhao Xiyue reproached her.
"I’m sorry, there was an event this afternoon that delayed me a bit."
Mu Yan said as she handed her a gift, "Happy birthday."
"Thank you!" Zhao Xiyue accepted the gift box with some curiosity, "Can I open it?"
"Of course you can." Mu Yan smiled slightly.
Zhao Xiyue opened the box to find a diamond necklace inside. The diamond wasn’t particularly large, but the design was unique and fashionable.
"Did you design this yourself?"
"Not exactly, I just tweaked the design a little."
"It’s beautiful, thank you!" Zhao Xiyue said with a smile.
"As long as you like it."
Zhao Xiyue put the necklace on immediately and led Mu Yan inside.
The living room on the first floor was about three to four hundred square meters, filled with well-dressed men and women chatting and drinking in groups.
Classical music played beautifully, just enough to cover all the noise, lending the birthday party an air of noble elegance and sophistication.
Mu Yan took a glance around; if there weren’t a hundred people, there were at least eighty. Zhao Xiyue truly had a wide social circle.
As the latest popular actress, Mu Yan’s arrival drew quite a bit of attention.
"Isn’t that the really popular Mu Yan?"
"It seems like it, Xiyue appears to have a good relationship with her."
"Just an actress, nothing to be concerned about. The watch you mentioned earlier is so low class, only worth a million; you should at least get one worth five million."
...
The women weren’t very interested in her, but the men were another story.
From the moment she entered, there were predatory gazes on her, as if ready to devour her whole.
Mu Yan tried her best to ignore the people around her.
Zhao Xiyue led her to her friends from the entertainment industry and then had to attend to other guests.
"Make yourself at home here, feel free."
"Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony." Mu Yan said with a smile, "Go ahead and do your thing."
"Sure, if you need anything, just ask a server." Zhao Xiyue said before leaving.
Mu Yan watched her leave and smiled at the actresses around her.
Since they didn’t know each other, they could only exchange polite compliments.
"I particularly liked your portrayal of Song Liuli," one actress praised.
"Thank you." Mu Yan nodded.
After a round of compliments, the conversation ran cold and they didn’t know what to say next.
The other actresses nearby, holding their glasses, went off to chat, since such a wealthy young woman’s birthday party was a prime opportunity for romantic conquests.
If they could meet a couple of rich heirs, they wouldn’t need to keep struggling in the entertainment industry.
Mu Yan sipped her juice, feeling a bit idle.
Suddenly, a woman’s voice called out, "What are you doing here?"
