"Then forget it. I'm afraid that I'll be discovered by Madam Ye before I even see Young Master Ye, and I won't even know how I died."

Everyone in the capital knows that Madam Ye is very petty. I heard that her half-sister tried to seduce Young Master Ye, but got a severe beating. So I won't get involved.

"Tell me, how could Young Master Ye possibly be interested in someone like Madam Ye? It's simply outrageous!"

In the eyes of the socialites in the capital, Gong Yixue, with her status, was not worthy of being Ye Mohan's wife at all.

Gong Yixue is not even half as good as them, so why should she be able to marry Ye Mohan, the head of the Ye Group, which is richer than a country?

You should know that before Gong Yixue appeared, Ye Mohan was the man that all the socialites in the capital wanted to marry.

The number of people who want to marry him could circle around Country Z dozens of times.

After all, in the capital, no one can compare to Ye Mohan in terms of wealth, looks, or anything else.

Even those young masters who were on good terms with the Ye family were still somewhat inferior to Ye Mohan.

If Gong Yixue knew what they were thinking, she would probably just say it without a care.

"There's nothing you can do. It's just that the Ye Shao you all love only likes my type. You can't be envious of him."

Socialites: I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless. It's infuriating!

...

The banquet soon moved on to its most important part.

As the eldest member of the Ye family, Old Master Ye slowly walked onto the stage under the watchful eyes of everyone. Gong Yixue and Ye Mohan had also arrived at the stairwell early to wait for their appearance.

Old Master Ye had a big smile on his face, and it was clear at a glance that he was in a very good mood.

However, everyone understood that the Ye family was holding this banquet for a reason, and it was only natural for Old Master Ye to feel this way.

Immediately, Old Master Ye's loud voice rang out throughout the hall.

"Good evening, everyone. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend our banquet. On behalf of the Ye family, I warmly welcome you all..."

After the preliminaries were set off, we moved on to the main topic of tonight's dinner.

"Over the years, you have probably all heard rumors that my eldest grandson, Ye Mohan, has gotten married and had children. Today, I'm standing here to tell you that it's true, not just a rumor."

Our Ye family does indeed already have a daughter-in-law for our eldest grandson. Let us now welcome their arrival with the utmost attention and sincerity.

As soon as Old Master Ye finished speaking, everyone's gaze suddenly turned to the stairwell.

Soon, everyone saw two perfectly matched couples appear in their line of sight.

Ye Mohan, dressed in a black suit, led Gong Yixue, who was dressed in a gorgeous dress, down the stairs.

As they got closer, everyone could see the two people's faces clearly.

After all, very few people in the capital have seen what the two really look like or know their identities.

A large portion of the people attending the dinner tonight have never met the two of them before.

As the two approached, different emotions appeared in everyone's eyes.

Some elderly men were fine, but some ladies and socialites looked on with a hint of jealousy or envy.

At the same time, many people were amazed by the perfect match in terms of looks between the two. If someone else stood next to Ye Mohan, they would definitely pale in comparison, after all, the aura emanating from Ye Mohan was no joke.

But to everyone's great surprise, the rare beauty standing next to Ye Mohan was not overshadowed at all.

Instead, it seems like they're a couple destined by fate.

Gong Yixue followed Ye Mohan onto the stage and introduced her identity to everyone.

Gong Yixue didn't bring the two little ones to the banquet. She wanted to, but Ye Mohan and the old man said that it was specially held for her, and the two little ones couldn't steal her thunder.

After this brief interlude, everyone started moving around again.

One of them asked, puzzled, "Isn't she the daughter of the Jian family? How come she has the surname Gong now?"

Someone who knew the whole story kindly explained, "Did your internet connection drop or something? You don't know that this Madam Ye isn't actually a daughter of the Jian family..."

After listening, he suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Meanwhile, the protagonist of the story arrived at the side of his friend.

"Congratulations, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law."

Zhou Yuxuan and the others said in unison.

Everyone else was present except for Chu Yi, who was out of the country due to other matters.

Gong Yixue smiled and offered a toast, saying, "Thank you."

Although Ye Mohan didn't say anything, he also raised his glass.

As the group chatted, Gong Yixue suddenly felt a gaze fixed on her from the crowd.

Her gaze was so intense that Gong Yixue could hardly ignore it.

But when she looked, she didn't see anything.

Just as she was wondering, Ye Mohan noticed her unusual behavior. "What's wrong?"

Gong Yixue snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "It's nothing."

She didn't intend to bring this up, so as not to cause people worry.

Seeing that Gong Yixue was unwilling to talk about it, Ye Mohan did not intend to ask any further questions.

Little did the two know that Gong Yixue had not misjudged.

There was indeed a figure watching her just now, but the moment she turned around, the person noticed and hid.

After a long while, the man took one last look at Gong Yixue before reluctantly leaving the hall.

Upon arriving at a secluded corner, people immediately surrounded them.

"Let's go."

"Yes, Master Jin."

The figure then disappeared into the vast night.

This person was Jiang Xuanjin, who happened to be in Z country on business and unexpectedly learned about tonight's banquet, so he drove over here specially.

What Jiang Xuanjin didn't know was that although Gong Yixue didn't see him, Ye Mohan had spent countless resources to ensure the banquet went perfectly.

His arrival did not escape Ye Mohan's notice.

Upon learning of Jiang Xuanjin's arrival, Ye Mohan frowned deeply for a long time.

He then said, "Activate emergency defenses and we'll head back to the villa immediately."

Although he knew that Jiang Xuanjin had arrived, he did not know the purpose of Jiang Xuanjin's visit.

Having learned from his previous experience, he was afraid that Jiang Xuanjin would not play by the rules.

Upon hearing the instructions, Lin Yi immediately went to carry them out.

Ye Mohan also got up and found Gong Yixue, telling her that Jiang Xuanjin had come. The two immediately found the old man and informed him of the situation, then rushed back to the villa.

Back at the villa, seeing her parents and two children safe and sound, Gong Yixue finally felt relieved.

She was genuinely afraid of reliving the pain she had experienced before, so she rushed back as soon as she learned that Jiang Xuanjin had come to the capital.

However, they did not tell Dongfang Tinglan what had happened, so Dongfang Tinglan was somewhat surprised to see the two return.
