Under pressure from Fu Qingxiao, Zhong Yiren had no choice but to swallow her anger and bow in apology.

"Miss Yun...I'm...I'm sorry..."

Zhong Yiren's face was filled with resentment and anger, but she had to bow and apologize to Yun Xinyan!

She didn't dare to go against Fu Qingxiao.

Since entering the entertainment industry, Zhong Yiren has always wanted to go against Yun Xinyan, but she has always suffered losses. Now Yun Xinyan is full of scandals. She originally wanted to embarrass Yun Xinyan at the banquet, but now she has to bow and apologize to Yun Xinyan in front of everyone!

Yun Xinyan slightly raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes filled with a nonchalant charm.

With her beloved concubine protecting her, she was naturally happy to be a gentle and charming wife, and she always wanted to give her beloved concubine a chance to show her abilities.

Moreover, seeing Zhong Yiren get the short end of the stick made her secretly happy.

A beautiful smile appeared on Yun Xinyan's lips, and her gaze towards her beloved concubine was tender and affectionate. She playfully tilted her head to look at Fu Qingxiao, her beautiful peach blossom eyes even more captivating, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for supporting me. I think Miss Zhong will definitely remember the way of being a guest in the future."

The word "guest" sounded particularly jarring to Zhong Yiren.

Fu Qingxiao said indifferently, "When traveling, one should observe proper etiquette as a guest. This is a matter of upbringing. Didn't Miss Zhong's parents teach you that?"

Zhong Yiren's expression turned extremely ugly. She was the illegitimate daughter of the Zhong family, only holding that title, but she was raised outside the family by her maternal uncle from a young age, and she did not learn any of the Zhong family's rules and regulations.

This has always been a sore point for Zhong Yiren. She has always claimed to be a socialite, and what she finds most unacceptable is when others question her socialite status.

What's more, to lose face in front of Fu Qingxiao, the man she most wanted to conquer, was the greatest insult to her!

Fu Qingxiao and He Yunxinyan returned to the main table. Yunxinyan smiled and held up a crystal-clear wine glass. The grape wine looked even more vibrant red in the glass. She took a small sip and left a faint lip print on the glass.

A seductive light flashed in her eyes.

With a charming face and her beautiful eyes, she looked at Fu Qingxiao and raised her wine glass to his lips, saying, "Mr. Fu, thank you for saving me."

Fu Qingxiao lowered his head and took a sip, his eyes shimmering with a gentle light.

Yun Xinyan's eyes gleamed with the smugness of a kitten that had just stolen a fish. She feigned surprise and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, it seems you're drinking from my wine glass. Let's switch back."

Fu Qingxiao's eyes flickered slightly, but his expression remained unchanged as he said, "I don't mind."

"Oh~"

She rested her chin on her slender arm, looking charming and pretending to be deep in thought, and said, "Does this count as an indirect kiss?"

"..."

Grandpa Mei was in a good mood, but Zhong Yiren's outburst made him look displeased.

"What the elderly value most is getting together. Your kind intentions are enough."

Just then, a white-haired, white-bearded man dressed in a Tang suit walked in with an imposing air.

"Brother Mei, I'm late. I've come here specifically to apologize."

All eyes fell on this person, only to find that he was actually the president of the Z Country Calligraphy Association, and had a considerable reputation in the country.

"Brother Guo, what brings you here? Weren't you on a world tour? Why did you suddenly come back?"
