Huo Chenyu reached out and put his arm around Tang Li's waist, leaning forward slightly to block Xi Leng and Lin Qinghao from view.
They acted as if they were afraid Tang Li would be bullied.
Seeing this, Lin Qinghao snorted coldly:
"Is Young Master Huo really this unreasonable?"
Huo Chenyu raised an eyebrow:
"I don't like to reason, but I do like to defend my own. However, I have plenty of magnanimity, which you all want. If you have any complaints, Miss Lin, just come at me. If I pay any attention to you, I'll consider it a loss."
He's even more deceitful!
Lin Qinghao looked helplessly at Xi Leng.
Xi Leng smiled and smoothed things over:
"Guests are all welcome, so let's not let a few words ruin the harmony."
Even if she wanted to make things difficult for Tang Li in front of Huo Chenyu, she wouldn't do it so obviously.
Therefore, Xi Leng patted Lin Qinghao's arm and pointed to the hall, saying:
"Miss Lin, this way please. I'll take you to the banquet hall first."
Lin Qing, who had never lost so thoroughly in an argument before, was not about to give up. After glancing at Tang Li's flat stomach, she mocked:
"Recently, there have been rumors in Tanzhou that Miss Tang has been craving food during her pregnancy, and some gossip suggests that Miss Tang's pregnancy is already too late to keep the baby. It seems that Miss Tang can have a couple more drinks today."
Tang Li leaned forward slightly:
"What? Miss Lin, are you pregnant or have you miscarried? Would you like to share your experiences with me?"
She has a really sharp tongue.
Xi Leng is watching the show again.
Lin Qing's blood pressure rose with anger, and she once again turned her anger towards Huo Chenyu:
"Has your ex-wife always been difficult to get along with and never been friendly with people?"
Is she difficult to get along with?
Huo Chenyu looked down at the spirited Tang Li and left the opportunity to retort to Tang Li.
As expected, Tang Li shut her up with a single sentence:
"I'm a pretty easy person to get along with. Otherwise, you could look for the reason within yourself."
Lin Qing ate a big turtle.
The key point is that Huo Chenyu fully embodied the spirit of a wife leading and a husband following, delivering a witty and insightful comment:
"Of course, my little princess isn't easy to get along with just anyone. She's naturally easy to talk to, even cats and dogs, but if she runs into a scoundrel, then it's hard to say."
Lin Qing was so angry that she lost her mind and sought help from Xi Leng:
"Xileng, what does he mean by that?"
Xi Leng coughed lightly and said:
He said you're no good.
Lin Qing could tell that Xi Leng was in cahoots with them. She stamped her foot and turned to leave, but Huo Chenyu stopped her with a hand.
"Miss Lin, are you planning to leave like this?"
Lin Qinghao raised her head and looked at him with a very unfriendly expression:
"Otherwise what? Young Master Huo wants to hear gossip from the streets? To see how your ex-wife is portrayed as promiscuous and morally corrupt?"
Huo Chenyu's expression was cold and stern, and he gave a light snort:
"Ms. Lin, please apologize before you leave, otherwise I'm afraid I might lose control and hurt innocent people."
That's a threat!
Lin Qing wasn't buying it:
"Young Master Huo, you're so powerful. Even if I apologize today, you can only shut me up. Do you think you can silence all the people of Tanzhou?"
After saying that, she stared at Tang Li with disdain:
"Miss Tang, you've already had a miscarriage and gotten divorced, yet you still hide behind men and live a life of debauchery. You've done all sorts of promiscuous things, and you've committed all sorts of morally reprehensible acts, yet you still won't let anyone talk about it. Does Miss Tang really think that just because you're a little bit of flattery under men, the whole world is yours?"
This person is indeed more capable than Lin Yiyun!
At least he's good with words!
Tang Li didn't really understand why Huo Chenyu wanted Lin Qinghao to apologize.
After all, when it comes to arguing with people, she didn't suffer a loss; in fact, she came out on top.
Lin Qinghao has gone berserk, and Xi Leng hurriedly came to her rescue:
“Miss Lin, rumors stop with the wise. Please be careful what you say that is bad for Miss Tang’s reputation.”
Lin Qinghao slid her hand to her mouth:
"Fine, I'll shut up."
She lifted her foot to leave again, but Huo Chenyu was even more stern than before:
"Ms. Lin, I'm saying this one last time: please apologize to her."
Lin Qinghao straightened her back:
"She doesn't deserve it."
That's really tough.
Xi Leng couldn't help but feel worried for Lin Qing.
Huo Chenyu spoke coldly:
"Then we'll have to ask Miss Lin to make a trip to Xiangshan Cemetery."
Xiangshan Cemetery?
Xi Leng looked at Huo Chenyu in surprise, while Lin Qinghao was even more confused:
"What? Just a few words and you want to kill me to silence me, Young Master Huo?"
Huo Chenyu coldly glanced at Lin Qinghao:
"In a verbal dispute, whoever wins is the one with the ability, but Miss Lin has violated moral principles by insulting deceased elders. She should go and apologize."
It turns out that he wanted Lin Qinghao to apologize for this.
Tang Li's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Xi Leng smiled knowingly, feigning to act as a peacemaker, and advised Lin Qinghao:
“It is indeed wrong of Miss Lin to be disrespectful to her elders. Miss Lin should apologize to Miss Tang.”
Lin Qinghao turned her head away, ignoring her.
Xi Leng then advised Tang Li:
"How about we have a drink together and become friends? Miss Tang, just accept the loss and don't hold it against her."
Suffer a loss?
If Yunxi had said those words, Tang Li would have let it go.
But since these words came from Xi Leng's mouth, Tang Li decided to be petty and retort indiscriminately:
“Miss Song knows this is a losing proposition. I have a gluttonous appetite and love to eat everything, but I don’t like to suffer losses.”
Xi Leng was upset after being rebuked by her.
But with Huo Chenyu present, Xi Leng smiled apologetically:
"After all, suffering a loss is a blessing. I'll have a couple more drinks later and apologize to you on behalf of Miss Lin."
The idea that "suffering a loss is a blessing" has even come to mind.
He even apologized on their behalf.
He appeared to be very righteous and understanding.
Tang Li realized that Xi Leng was setting a trap for her.
This isn't an attempt to calm things down; it's adding fuel to the fire.
Tang Li looked at Xi Leng with an air of arrogance, then suddenly a smile appeared on her lips:
"Since Miss Song believes that suffering a loss is a blessing, then I wish you boundless happiness."
Pfft~
Huo Chenyu almost burst out laughing.
He knew that his little darling was never one to suffer a loss.
Actually, he didn't need to rush over to support her. Given her personality, no one could get anything out of her.
He also saw through Xi Leng's intentions, which were nothing more than wanting him to see Tang Li's unforgiving and unreasonable attitude.
Ironically, he just loved Tang Li's way of arguing with everyone and everything.
"Then I thank you very much, Miss Tang. There are still guests in the banquet hall. Please enjoy yourselves. I'll excuse myself now."
Xi Leng was speechless at Tang Li's words, her face turning ashen. In order to maintain her last bit of patience and elegance and to establish an intellectual and generous image in front of Huo Chenyu, she swallowed her anger and made up an excuse to leave.
But instead of going to the banquet hall, she turned a corner, went to a lounge, took out her phone, and called her assistant.
"Go and check all of Tang Li's information, including all the information about the people around her."
The door creaked open as soon as he finished speaking.
"Xileng, I advise you not to touch her."
