This farce was something Li Pu never expected. But having witnessed the whole thing, he quickly understood what was going on, and a surge of anger rose within him—his estranged daughter was up to something!
They still used this method of ruining someone's reputation, directly throwing mud at that girl!
What sins did Li Pu commit in his past life to have such a daughter!
There was no way to keep Xiang Jin any longer, so he nodded and said, "I have Jin's phone number. We'll contact her when we get down."
Xiang Jin nodded and followed Murong Xiao out of the banquet hall.
Sun Hongguang was stunned as he watched Xiang Jin and Murong Xiao leave hand in hand. He had been discussing business with several entrepreneurs and hadn't noticed what was going on here. How could his daughter-in-law be holding hands with Murong Xiao in such a short time?
"Mr. Sun, what's going on?" asked one of the businessmen who was traveling with him.
Sun Hongguang nearly lost face. He pulled out his phone and called his unfilial son: "Where the hell have you been, you brat! Tell me, what exactly happened? How did your wife get involved with Murong Xiao! Let me tell you, if you dare to dishonor the Sun family, I'll break your legs! But if anyone dares to forcibly take a woman, I, Sun Hongguang, am not someone to be trifled with!"
Sun Yanqing on the other end said slowly, "Dad, no one is trying to steal your daughter-in-law. No, you don't even have a daughter-in-law."
"What do you mean? Explain yourself!"
"It means exactly what it says. Xiang Jin is not your daughter-in-law; she is Murong Xiao's wife."
"What?! You dare to steal a woman from Murong Xiao?! Where are you? Get back here right now and explain yourself!"
"Beep beep beep..." Sun Yanqing hung up the phone immediately.
Sun Hongguang was furious, but with his colleagues around, he had to suppress his anger and pretend to be nonchalant.
After Murong Xiao and Xiang Jin left, the once lively and noisy banquet hall immediately fell silent.
Seeing that things were not going well, Wen Yufan quickly instructed the hotel to arrange seating, and the live performance started immediately. He also started to find various topics to talk about, and the atmosphere was gradually brought back.
Seeing the banquet proceeding normally, Wen Yufan finally felt a little more at ease.
Then, as if remembering something, his brows furrowed again.
Isn't Xiang Jin's husband Young Master Sun? How did he become Murong Xiao?
Did she commit bigamy?
No, no, Murong Xiao isn't the kind of person who can tolerate injustice.
After guessing left and right without getting a good answer, he couldn't help but send a message to Xiang Jin: "Miss Jin, I haven't had a chance to ask you anything in a busy day. If I may ask, isn't your husband Young Master Sun? And what's the deal with President Xiao? You don't have to answer if it involves privacy."
A few minutes later, the reply came: "Murong Xiao is my husband."
Wen Yufan was stunned. She was actually Murong Xiao's wife, the wife of the richest man in China?!
He's a real hidden talent, so unassuming.
What's the deal with Sun Yanqing? He was about to type it in again when the other end quickly replied, "Sun Yanqing is my friend, he's just a male companion. Mr. Wen, you've misunderstood."
Another clap of thunder.
It's a misunderstanding, he misunderstood?
He carefully recalled the whole process. Good heavens, wasn't this huge misunderstanding caused by him? It was his preconceived notion that Young Master Sun was his husband that led to this whole series of events.
No wonder Murong Xiao's face looked so ugly back then.
The thought that he had so easily offended China's richest man made him tremble with fear.
He hurriedly sent a message to Xiang Jin to apologize, and even wrote a short essay to show his sincerity. However, after sending it, it disappeared without a trace, and no one replied.
Wen Yufan was busy dealing with other things and stopped paying attention to his phone.
………………
The banquet was in full swing, but Li Shuhui and Xiang Qi remained motionless.
Li Pu ignored them and turned to leave.
"Dad, let's have a meal together sometime. Aqi is doing well now, and she likes Grandpa a lot." Although she didn't get Xiangjin, she still had to find a way to keep control of the Li family's assets.
She nudged Xiang Qi, who was still in a daze beside her.
Xiang Qi quickly snapped out of her daze and affectionately called out, "Grandpa."
Li Pu's expression softened slightly, but he still refused to give her face: "I said before, once the relationship is broken, there's no need to try to rekindle it, let alone have a meal together."
The old man walked away, and Li Shuhui wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the security guards and had to give up.
In the end, she pulled Xiang Qi away from the party in a huff.
………………
After a few hours of fermentation, online comments exploded at this moment.
Trending topics such as #Xiangqi's younger sister#, #Red and white roses#, #Xiangqi's face changes when she mentions her sister#, and #Xiangqi is valued at 500,000 if it's worth 12 million# appeared one after another. Xiangqi's expressions in front of the camera were also thoroughly analyzed by netizens. The reputation of the beautiful and kind-hearted heiress and genius designer suffered a devastating blow in an instant.
"Oh my god, is she jealous of her sister? She gets so upset when her sister is mentioned?"
"She was probably unhappy because her younger sister is prettier than her."
"I never expected her to be jealous of her own sister. Tsk tsk, she always looks so delicate and kind, but it was all an act... And her professional knowledge is just laughable. She valued something worth 12 million at only 500,000. Does she even have any basic design knowledge?"
"I think she not only lacks basic design knowledge, but also basic life knowledge. At such an important auction, she would bid on a painting for 500,000 yuan. Who does she think she is?"
Seeing Xiang Qi being attacked by the crowd, Xiang Qi's fans couldn't sit still and quickly took turns to defend their idol.
"Ah Qi didn't give her a hard time, so please don't overinterpret it."
“Aqi was smiling when she mentioned her sister, couldn’t you see that? Besides, even if she was giving a cold shoulder, does that necessarily mean she was jealous of her sister?”
"Exactly, exactly. Besides, it's common for art to be misvalued. Even the quality of paintings by famous artists varies greatly. How can you expect someone who isn't in the art world to do something so difficult?"
"She's not in the art world? Xiangqi's fans, don't be so outrageous."
"It feels like her fans have gone completely offline to defend her. I'm going to turn against her."
+1.
Count me in.
"+..."
The internet is in an uproar, Weibo's trending topics list is exploding and being criticized repeatedly, and the system even crashed twice. It seems that people all over the world are excited and going crazy over these juicy stories tonight.
Only in Haitang Bay was it unusually quiet.
After the car arrived at the villa, Murong Xiao took Xiang Jin upstairs. Knowing that they hadn't eaten, Aunt Yang made some noodles to serve them, but Su Ming stopped her.
"Instead of preparing this, you might as well prepare some bar food."
"Did they fight again?" Zhou Zhou asked hurriedly. They had finally made up, so why were they arguing again as soon as they went out?
