Chapter 457 How Familiar Mrs. Mu Is (1/2)
Leila was speechless and had to obediently follow him, but the appearance of Max had completely attracted everyone's attention. When they saw him turning back, everyone greeted him. Leila turned around to leave, but Max's hand was tightly holding her.
Noticing that everyone was looking at her curiously, Leila lowered her head slightly, trying to hide her presence, but everyone kept looking at her.
”Well Mr. Mu, the lady beside you is... ”
With a playful smile on his face, Max seized the chance to make an official statement of Leila, in case someone might hurt her.
Suddenly, he put his arm around Leila's shoulder and introduced, ”This is my wife, Leila!”
He said with a trace of joy, but it shocked the people around. They had never heard about Max's marriage, his only engagement was cancelled, which made them even more surprised. ”Are you kidding, Mr. Mu? I haven't heard of you on the newspaper...”
Max looked at the little woman beside with a doting look in his eyes, and Leila was smiling unnaturally at the crowd. She knew that everyone was doubting her identity, but she was used to such kind of occasion, they were nothing but snobs.

Max's face was pale, and the hand holding Leila also increased some strength, staring at the woman in front of him with anger, .”Who are you? What are you doing here?”
Then, something occurred to Leila. She still remembered the time when she attended the classmate reunion with Charles in England. At that time, she was mistaken as Mrs. Qiao. But what she didn't expect was that her carelessness could make her become a target of gossip this time. Now when it was mentioned, she looked at the woman sitting opposite with a smile. ”I think you misunderstood. Charles and I are good friends!”
”Really? That's really a pity. After all, Dr. Qiao acquiesced that you were Mrs. Qiao at that time!”
Leila frowned slightly. She knew that the woman was implying something by mentioning so many things. So she didn't say anything. She just held Max's hand and wanted to go to the corner. However, there were rumors around her. She saw Max's deep eyes with a little anger.
