Seeing this, Yunxi immediately came to the rescue:
"Mr. Song, let me introduce you. This is Mrs. Huo."
Since their identity has already been emphasized, most people who know what's good for them will naturally change their tune.
Song Beiye, however, deftly countered with a question:
"What? Now that Miss Tang is married, she only sees herself as a wife of the Huo family and no longer as a daughter of the Tang family?"
Good heavens!
He's alright looking, but his mouth is really sharp!
Huo Chenyu's expression changed drastically, but then he saw Tang Li lean out halfway, take the wine glass from his hand, and clink it against Song Beiye's:
"Hello, brother-in-law."
Tang Li smiled broadly, calling him "brother-in-law" in a sweet and cloying way.
Brother-in-law?
Not only were Yunxi and Huo Chenyu puzzled, but even Song Beiye himself was taken aback.
Seeing that he remained silent, Tang Li retorted with a faint smile:
"What? Does Mr. Song only consider himself a member of the Song family and not a son-in-law of the Chu family?"
That was a well-deserved rebuttal!
Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Chenyu finally smiled.
He often forgets that his wife is always quick-witted and unforgiving.
Unexpectedly, Tang Li retorted. Song Beiye glanced back at Chu Nai not far away and couldn't help but smile to himself.
"Miss Tang has quite the sharp tongue."
Tang Li refused to be outdone:
"My brother-in-law was not at all nervous when he first arrived."
This is, after all, not the home ground of the Eastern Song Dynasty.
The woman was trying to remind him that he shouldn't be too arrogant when he's under someone else's roof.
interesting!
Song Beiye stared at Tang Li like a predator eyeing its prey, picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and swallowed along with his Adam's apple, concealing his ambition and desire.
"Miss Tang not only has a beautiful appearance, but also a very interesting soul. I heard some rumors when I came here, all of which were unfavorable to you. Now it seems that Young Master Huo has finally climbed the social ladder."
Huo Chenyu acknowledged this point as well.
Tang Li disagreed:
"Brother-in-law, haven't you heard the saying, 'A good horse needs a good saddle, and a rough woman needs a rough man'?"
They really won't give an inch.
Song Beiye gasped.
He had just praised Tang Li, so he either had to agree that Huo Chenyu was equally outstanding, or he would have to deny his own words and shoot himself in the foot.
At this moment, Yunxi joined in:
"The eldest daughter of the Chu family is gentle and generous, and she is indeed worthy of Mr. Song's fine saddle."
Song Beiye sharply posed the question to Tang Li:
"As the landlady said, if everyone is looking for a good saddle, then what is a rough man?"
Are you trying to make a fool of yourself?
Tang Li smiled calmly:
“Crude language is called rough.”
This implies that his behavior and language were extremely vulgar and not the behavior of a good saddle.
It seems that an apology is necessary to resolve this situation.
Song Beiye raised his glass again:
"Please forgive me, Mrs. Huo, for my inappropriate remarks during our first meeting."
Goodness.
They finally admitted defeat.
Tang Li clinked glasses with him, then handed the glass to Huo Chenyu: "I apologize for the words, but my husband will drink with you."
Huo Chenyu said with great pride:
"I'm sorry, my wife is spoiled and can't stand any disagreements."
Disagreements!!!
The couple had contrasting opinions: one said he was being sarcastic, while the other said he was being vulgar.
A husband and wife of one mind are a perfect match.
Song Beiye's fighting spirit was instantly ignited; it had been many years since a woman had been able to arouse his interest.
Tang Li is one of them.
At the tasting event, while others savored the wine, he savored the women.
His gaze remained fixed on Tang Li, and even Chu Nai beside him could see that Song Beiye, the hunter, had set his sights on a new prey.
While Chu Nai breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but worry about Tang Li.
Therefore, I couldn't help but remind Song Beiye:
"Mrs. Huo is pregnant. Mr. Song is new to Tanzhou, so he probably hasn't heard about it yet, has he?"
Song Beiye snorted coldly:
"I've heard about it now."
Chu Nai's loose tongue:
"They have a very good relationship."
Song Beiye lost his patience and laid his cards on the table: "Miss Chu, you don't actually think I'm interested in you, do you?"
"and you..."
horrible!
Before the man entered, he was still asking when he could meet his father.
"It's just asking Miss Chu to act as a bridge, giving me a chance to get close to the beauty."
He didn't hide anything at all.
Chu Nai was speechless:
"Does President Song intend to interfere in someone else's marriage?"
Song Beiye put down his wine glass and handed her a business card: "This is your payment. He will help you solidify your position in the Chu family. I'm not one to like owing people anything, but I'm also too lazy to play along. Take this, and we'll be even."
This megalomaniac!
Chu Nai really wanted to tear the business card to shreds and throw it in his face, but in the end she chose to accept it and smiled:
"Thank you very much, Mr. Song. If there are any more good opportunities like this in the future, please feel free to contact me."
Isn't it just about enduring it?
She has suffered a lot of mistreatment in the Chu family over the years.
Chu Nai has no other skills, but she is very good at enduring.
"However, there's something I forgot to remind President Song." After taking the business card, Chu Nai suddenly realized that Song Beiye's intentions went far beyond simply using this opportunity to get to know Tang Li.
"What?"
Song Beiye asked.
Chu Nai covered her mouth and chuckled, putting the business card into her handbag. She then stood on tiptoe, draped her arm around Song Beiye's shoulder, and whispered in his ear:
"If you can break up this marriage, don't forget to leave the man next to her to me."
Song Beiye narrowed his eyes:
"Miss Chu's taste is similar to yours—neither of them is very good!"
hehe.
Vicious tongue man!
Having achieved her goal, Chu Nai waved to him:
"I wish Mr. Song a pleasant hunt."
