Chapter 209: Pei Yutang is taken away
The discussion in the banquet hall was incessant.
This girl is lucky to have married into the Tan family. You know how many people want to marry into the Tan family but don't even have a chance.
Just then, a sharp voice pierced through the crowd.
"impossible!"
"Xu Yihuan has a boyfriend!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Pei Yutang.
Pei Yutang just gave away a fake painting.
"Hey, that's funny. You mean I, this old man, am lying?"
Grandpa Tan glared at Pei Yutang.
Pei Yutang subconsciously took two steps back.
Then his gaze hardened considerably: "That's exactly right!"
"Xu Yihuan and her boyfriend have been dating since high school! How could she be dating a young master!"
The Tan family cherishes this young master so much, they couldn't possibly just abandon him in Yuncheng.
They must be under their watchful eyes; there's no way someone of Xu Yihuan's status could have access to them!
"What's the use of just talking! Show me the photos!"
"We haven't met Young Master Tan, but Old Master Tan will surely know whether he has or not!"
"That's right, that's right!"
Clearly, people of all backgrounds are interested in gossip.
Especially gossip about top-tier wealthy families that's already been offered up.
Everyone immediately became excited and their eyes fell on Pei Yutang.
Xu Yihuan chuckled and looked at Pei Yutang as well.
Putting everything else aside, she was genuinely looking forward to seeing Pei Yutang's expression when she learned Tan Zhixu's identity.
Fang Kerou knew Tan Zhixu's true identity.
Seeing this, I knew something was wrong.
If that's the case, wouldn't everyone know that Tan Zhixu and Xu Yihuan are dating?
What she did at school was hardly honorable, and it wasn't something she wanted people to know.
Fang Kerou stepped forward, seemingly wanting to help her out: "Today is Grandpa Tan's birthday banquet. Isn't it inappropriate to look at photos of Xu Yihuan's boyfriend at this time?"
Pei Yutang was initially quite eager to make a move, but upon hearing Fang Kerou's words, she put her mind at ease.
After all, it's not worth offending Old Master Tan for the sake of Xu Yihuan.
Just as he was about to refuse, he saw Grandpa Tan looking at him with a smile.
His tone was gentle yet firm: "Since you have photos, let's take a look."
It's almost time.
Pei Yutang immediately became excited.
That's right! Grandpa Tan dotes on his grandson so much, how could he possibly tolerate a girl cheating on him?
"This woman must be doing this on purpose!" Pei Yutang glared at Fang Kerou.
The next moment, Pei Yutang's eyes lit up again.
She remembered! This woman! She was the girl who had an inextricable connection with Tan Zhixu!!
She saw this girl walking with Tan Zhixu many times!
So it turns out she was afraid of embarrassing herself!
Pei Yutang sneered, seeing that Fang Kerou was about to step forward to stop her.
She pulled up the photo album first, then coldly mocked Fang Kerou.
"I remember you. Your relationship with Xu Yihuan's boyfriend is also ambiguous!"
All eyes turned to Fang Kerou.
Especially Old Master Tan, who squinted and looked her over with an imposing air.
This girl... isn't as good as Huanhuan.
Fang Kerou's face paled for a moment, then she denied it: "What are you saying?!"
"I admit that Xu Yihuan's boyfriend and I are classmates, but we're just classmates, okay? Stop making false accusations!"
Although she had the intention to steal someone else's boyfriend, how could she say it when she hadn't succeeded?!
Pei Yutang snorted coldly: "I have photos."
Pei Yutang pulled out a photo of Tan Zhixu talking to Fang Kerou about something.
In the photo, Tan Zhixu stands next to Fang Kerou, bending down to look at the questions. Fang Kerou looks up at Tan Zhixu with eyes full of tenderness.
"Isn't this just like being boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"No, if this doesn't count as love..."
As Pei Yutang spoke, she looked at Xu Yihuan provocatively.
As I had hoped, I saw a pale expression on her face.
He curled his lips into a smug smile.
"See, I told you so."
Scroll through the photos, and it's another picture of Tan Zhixu and Xu Yihuan.
Although it was just a casual observation, everyone watched with great interest, regardless of the source.
Xu Yihuan thought she no longer cared much about Tan Zhixu, but seeing this scene still made her heart ache slightly.
Especially when receiving stares or sympathetic glances from others.
There was an added layer of humiliation to this feeling.
Pei Yi'an noticed Xu Yihuan's reaction and quickly pulled her into his arms.
He looked at Pei Yutang with icy eyes.
I never expected her to say these things in this kind of situation.
Just as Pei Yi'an was about to have someone bring her down, the next second, Old Master Tan's aged voice rang out in the banquet hall.
“Xu girl, she is indeed the granddaughter-in-law I have met before. As for the others, I don’t know them.”
Everyone assumed that Grandpa Tan was saying he didn't know Xu Yihuan's boyfriend.
But the next second, Mr. Tan continued to speak.
"Well, there's something else I'd like to do at today's birthday banquet: I'd like to introduce everyone to my grandson."
"But everyone has already seen the photos, so maybe they're not that excited anymore."
"Butler, go and call the young master down."
The old man spoke slowly and deliberately, yet it was as if a thunderclap had been thrown into one's ear.
"Wh...what do you mean?"
"Holy crap, could it be what I'm thinking?"
They just looked at a picture of a man...
Oh no, we've stumbled upon some juicy gossip, and it's even a secret of a wealthy family. Will they be silenced?
Everyone realized what was happening and started whispering among themselves, but Pei Yutang was still oblivious.
Pei Yi'an frowned deeply and gave Pei Yanzhi a look, signaling him to take the person away.
Pei Yanzhi nodded.
They stepped forward and led the person out.
Pei Yutang still wanted to struggle, but Pei Yanzhi's expression turned cold at this moment.
"Little sister, you should think about the consequences before you do things. You exposed the Tan family's scandal. Do you think the Tan family will let you off the hook, or will Grandpa let you off the hook?"
Old Master Pei is a man who cares a lot about his reputation.
Pei Yutang shuddered subconsciously.
I finally realized what had happened.
So... talking about Zhixu is actually talking about the old man's grandson?!
After Pei Yutang figured this out, she collapsed into Pei Yanzhi's arms.
His eyes were filled with intense fear.
It's over...it's really over this time!
Pei Yanzhi sighed and resignedly led the person out.
Pei Yutang stepped out the door, and a gust of cold wind brought her back to her senses.
She held Pei Yanzhi's hand tightly.
"Brother...brother...I don't want to go home...I don't want to go home!"
Going home will kill me, I'll die!
She's still a girl, and not as capable as Pei Yi'an. If she goes back like this, her grandfather will kill her sooner or later.
Pei Yanzhi sighed and patted Pei Yutang's head gently.
In reality, his eyes were icy cold.
Seeing that Pei Yanzhi stopped after listening to her words, Pei Yutang gripped Pei Yanzhi's hand even tighter, like a drowning person grabbing onto the only piece of driftwood.
