"My God, does Mrs. Ye not know that Ye Li and Young Master Zhou have broken off their engagement?"
"He's truly insatiable! He's already hooked up with Master Fu, yet he's still keeping Young Master Zhou hanging on. He's really playing the wild card!"
"I used to think she was well-behaved and cute, the number one socialite in the capital. Is this all? I really don't know whether to say I was blind or that she is too good at pretending and deceiving people."
"Even the wise Master Fu fell for her tricks. It's true that the saying 'beautiful women bring disaster' holds true!"
...
Men and women alike spoke with nothing but disdain for Ye Li.
It's as if she's that two-timing, scumbag woman.
Ye Li's body stiffened for a moment.
Fu Yanci knew about her mother's illness, but she never told Zhou Hechen that he had been to the hospital.
“Fu Yanci, I…”
Looking back at him, Ye Li wanted to explain.
He gently squeezed the hand that was resting on her waist.
The intention to stop was very clear.
Ye Li paused.
Fu Yanci laughed, "Ali, there's no need to explain! ...Those who believe you will believe you even if you don't say anything. Those who don't believe you won't believe you no matter how much you explain, so there's no need to explain. What do you say?"
Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Yanci's gaze suddenly turned cold.
Looking around, Fu Yanci turned to Fu Minghui, "I came because it's your birthday today. If I had known that the guests you invited were so low-class and showed no respect for Ye Li whatsoever, I wouldn't have come!"
"Ah Li, we..."
"Dislike of words!"
Fearing that if she spoke any slower, Fu Yanci would pull Ye Li away, and not only would those who had come to watch the spectacle leave, but those who had originally come for Master Fu and were about to cooperate with the Zhou family would also leave.
At that time, the Zhou family will have another laughing stock in the industry.
Fu Minghui looked apologetic. "Yanci, you know what kind of person I am and how I've treated you all these years. I was blind to your true nature. I apologize to you and Xiaoli on their behalf, okay?"
"That's right, Yan Ci! Even if you don't respect the monk, you should respect the Buddha!"
Beside him, Zhou Jinrui's forehead was almost dripping with sweat.
God knows how many business partners he invited to this day, all of whom had dealings with the Zhou family.
This was to make it clear to them that Fu Yanci was his brother-in-law, and that the Zhou family's business was backed by the Fu family.
At least try to save the Zhou family from its decline.
Before the birthday banquet even began, Mr. Fu left in full view of everyone.
Before Monday even arrives, those people will probably cancel the already precarious partnership, right?
Then all his efforts over the past few days have been in vain?
Before him were countless hateful faces waiting to watch the show, and Fu Yanci's anger only intensified.
When Ye Li took his arm, Fu Yanci turned around and saw the girl smiling sweetly, "Fu Yanci, shall we stay a little longer? Let's eat the cake before we leave, okay?"
Fu Yanci sighed softly in his heart.
He knew it would turn out this way.
She could have acted like Madam Fu and let those people know that she wasn't someone to be bullied.
But she didn't want to spoil Fu Minghui's birthday celebration, and she was also afraid that once these people left Yunjing, the news would spread like wildfire, saying that Master Fu had married an ungrateful woman.
Heaven knows how much he wanted these people to know that Master Fu had married a goddess, someone not only Master Fu himself wanted to cherish, but also someone the entire capital wanted to fawn over.
"good."
When he met the girl's bright, sparkling eyes that seemed to say, "Please, Fu Yanci, please, please," Fu Yanci nodded.
Then he tilted his head and whispered in her ear, "Ah Li, I stayed for you, not for Fu Minghui. How do you plan to thank me?"
Just a second ago, I was touched and warmed by his protection.
At this moment, Ye Li just wanted to pretend she didn't know him.
Zhou Hechen's face darkened even more.
Fu Minghui pulled him out of the banquet hall.
