"But she’s already being rude to people now, people are so mad at her that their chest hurts, can you stand up for ?" The woman pouted playfully while blowing on the man’s chest.
"Disgusting, an eyesore." Mi Xue rolled her eyes hard at the scene in front of her and said.
"Honey, look at her." The woman’s voice dripped with coquetry, twisting and turning like a mountain road, making the man’s bones turn to jelly, leaving him with no choice but to comply.
"Honey will stand up for you right away, honey will stand up for you." The man reassured her, grabbing the woman’s hand and kissing it a few tis, his tone arrogant and commanding as he said, "You two better apologize to my sweetie imdiately, or don’t bla for not being polite."
Lin ngyao and Mi Xue frowned and said nothing, the atmosphere suddenly beca awkward. "My uncle is the vice president of Huaxia Bank, if you offend , our Huaxia Bank will unite with other banks to refuse providing any financial convenience and help to the Lin family. I’ll count to three, apologize to my sweetie right away." The man suddenly slapped the table and spoke nacingly, while the woman in his arms gave Lin ngyao a provocative smile.
"Just a vice president, if you don’t apologize to ngyao and Mi Xue for your behavior just now, I’ll have your uncle dismissed." Xu Ke leaned back against the chair, tapping his finger leisurely, looking at the man with full contempt.
"Who are you?" The man frowned and asked.
"Xu Ke, ngyao’s husband."
"Wait, did you say who you are? Her husband? Hahaha, you are killing , aren’t you the famous live-in son-in-law and loser of Los City? I don’t even take Lin family seriously, how are you, a live-in son-in-law, going to threaten ? Are you missing a piece of your mind?" The man laughed so hard tears ca out, even letting go of the woman in his arms, while she bent over the table, pounding it and laughing loudly, like a madwoman.
"Oh dear, my stomach hurts from laughing, this is the funniest joke I’ve heard all year, you’re killing ! For being so amusing, I don’t mind your rudeness just now. This class reunion was really worth it, it’s so interesting. Next ti there’s such a reunion, sweetie, rember to invite ." The man said, pinching the woman’s nose and laughing without any regard for others.
"Sure, I’ll definitely call you next ti." The woman giggled in response, no longer insisting that Lin ngyao and Mi Xue apologize, afraid that bringing it up again would drive them away and make the reunion lose its fun. She wanted to have a good ti with them.
"You’re just letting him off like that?" Mi Xue, unaware of Xu Ke’s capabilities, could only swallow her pride, but Lin ngyao knew. Xu Ke was serious about his threat earlier, he really could get the other guy dismissed, so she didn’t understand why he held back.
Seeing Lin ngyao’s puffed-up face, Xu Ke reached out, grabbed her hand under the table and said, "The best part is yet to co, it’s no fun if you end it all at once." Xu Ke whispered in Lin ngyao’s ear.
The sound, deep as a cello’s timbre, rang in her ear, causing Lin ngyao’s face to flush bright red. She barely comprehended what Xu Ke was saying, her ability to think sowhat diminished, she didn’t pursue the matter further.
The atmosphere around the dining table rekindled, as if the previous confrontation never happened. Yet this gathering felt a bit different; everyone started to ingratiate themselves with the man next to Wen i’er, whom Mi Xue referred to disparagingly. Wen i’er welcod the attention, enjoying the feeling of being fawned over and adored by the crowd.
"Hmph, the small-minded get their way. She won’t be smug for long. ngyao, don’t stoop to her level and don’t take it to heart." Mi Xue patted Lin ngyao’s back and said.
"Don’t worry, she doesn’t affect ." Mi Xue’s concern ward Lin ngyao’s heart a bit, but it made Xu Ke frown slightly and glare at Mi Xue.
How many opportunities has he missed to earn ngyao’s favor, and now she’s taking the lead, Xu Ke felt a bit annoyed with himself for being slow to act.
Just as Xu Ke and Mi Xue were vying to comfort Lin ngyao, Wen i’er, now basking in the adulations, shifted her curled hair aside and leaned softly against the man, "My husband’s not only successful in his career, but he also has such a kind heart. Do you rember the guy who caught the gang pretending to have accidents on the street recently? That was my husband."
The two individuals competing for Lin ngyao’s attention closed their mouths upon hearing this, eyes filled with incredulity and, once they processed it, amusent.
Listening to others constantly praising Wen i’er and her husband, Mi Xue was the first of the three to burst out laughing. At first, she tried to hold it back, but eventually she couldn’t resist, laughing more and more recklessly.
Mi Xue clutched her belly, laughing arrogantly. Lin ngyao, catching the contagion, laughed softly but audibly. Only Xu Ke among them laughed reservedly without making a sound, yet the sarcasm in his eyes shot directly at the couple at the center of the topic.
"What are you laughing about? Laughing like this when soone else is speaking is very ill-mannered behavior. Didn’t your parents teach you?" Wen i’er looked at the three people sitting opposite, furious enough to almost crush her white teeth.
These two have always been at odds with her since school, and even after graduation they remained just as detestable, making her wish she could just strangle them.
"You didn’t even save face, making up such lies, and you dare to lecture others? This is the biggest joke under the sun." Mi Xue made a face at Wen i’er and said.
"What do you an? When did I lie? If you don’t give a clear explanation today, don’t bother trying to leave the doors of the Imperial Kitchen today." Wen i’er slamd the table and stood up from her chair, clearly agitated by Mi Xue.
Wen i’er was furious, but Mi Xue didn’t even glance at her, instead turning to give Lin ngyao a look, signaling for her to speak.
Mi Xue’s waggling eyebrows and gestures took Lin ngyao back to their high school days, oddly sparking a childish urge within her, "What it ans is that the person rescued was Mi Xue, and it was Xu Ke who saved her, it has nothing to do with your husband, you’re lying."
Seeing both participants in the event present, a fleeting panic flickered in Wen i’er’s eyes because her husband was indeed pretending, but the panic lasted only a mont. She suddenly rembered that neither of the protagonists in the online video showed their face. With no facial evidence, how could one prove her husband was fake and not the two in attendance lying for similar reasons?
Having clarified her thoughts, Wen i’er cald down, even showing a mocking expression on her face, not at all like soone who’s been caught lying.
"The video online didn’t show faces. Why do you claim I’m lying and you’re telling the truth? Is it because there are more of you, or your faces are bigger than mine?" Wen i’er crossed her arms and snorted coldly.
