Inside the banquet hall, melodious music filled the air, and on the stage, colorful lights shone brightly, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
With a smile on his face, Tang Yi slowly extended his hand, extending a sincere invitation to Ye Huanhuan.
Ye Huanhuan hesitated for a moment, but in the end she gently placed her hand in Tang Yi's warm palm.
The two, like a match made in heaven, slowly walked to the center of the stage, ready to dance together.
However, at that moment, a sudden and sharp cry rang out throughout the banquet hall, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"Huanhuan, I am your mother! Now that you're back in the Ye family, don't you want me and your father anymore?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged woman dressed as a hotel waitress crying desperately, repeatedly denouncing Ye Huanhuan.
"Huanhuan, your father and I have worked so hard to raise you. Now you've returned to the Ye family and are living a good life, but you don't care whether your father and I live or die. How can you be so heartless?"
Ye Huanhuan looked closely and realized that it was her adoptive mother, Li Qin.
Beside Li Qin stood a middle-aged man with a sorrowful face and tears streaming down his face; this man was none other than Xia Jianguo.
Xia Jianguo, with tears streaming down his face, cried out to the crowd:
"Back then, when my husband and I brought Huanhuan home, she was just a newborn baby. If it weren't for our hard work and frugality in raising her, she probably wouldn't be alive today, let alone able to return to the Ye family and become their precious young lady!"
But what about her? Not only did she not know how to be grateful, she also brought the Ye family's bodyguards and smashed up our Xia family's old house. She even ordered those bodyguards to beat my son until he was covered in bruises.
Now, my poor son is lying in a hospital bed, his life hanging in the balance. But she, after returning to the Ye family, treats us like enemies.
Not only that, she repeatedly warned us never to appear in front of her again and never to interfere with her current life, otherwise she would make our family's life worse than death.
Please everyone be the judge! How can there be such a heartless girl in this world?! My husband and I have truly raised a thankless wretch!
The accusations made by Xia Jianguo and his wife came as a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone present stunned.
Their gazes all turned to Ye Huanhuan, and their expressions of admiration and envy instantly turned strange.
Exclamations of surprise, doubts, and accusations echoed throughout the banquet hall.
"I never expected this! This young lady from the Ye family appears so refined and poised on the surface, but who would have thought she'd be this kind of person behind the scenes? It's truly unbelievable!"
"Absolutely! If it weren't for her adoptive parents raising her with such care and hardship, how could she have achieved what she has today? How could she be the apple of the Ye family's eye? Such an ungrateful person is truly disheartening!"
"You really can't judge a book by its cover! This Ye family heiress is as ruthless and vicious as a snake. How could Young Master Tang possibly fall for such a woman? Doesn't he fear damaging his own reputation in the process?"
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come to this banquet! If it weren't for President Ye's sake, I wouldn't want to know such an ungrateful person at all."
"Who says otherwise? This is the first time I've ever seen such a heartless woman; she's an ingrate!"
People were talking about it, expressing extreme indignation and contempt for Ye Huanhuan.
Ye Huanhuan's face was ashen, and she stared intently at Xia Jianguo and his wife, her eyes flashing with a chilling coldness.
She never expected that these two would be so audacious as to cause trouble at her banquet.
Who gave them such courage?
Could it be that Ye Ru is behind this again?
She quickly looked around, but didn't see Ye Ru, and even Ye Ting wasn't in the banquet hall.
Tang Yi could feel that Ye Huanhuan's hand was gripping his in his broad palm, tightening its grip.
His face was calm and expressionless, but his eyes flashed with a chilling glint.
"Huanhuan, do you need my help?" he asked in a low voice.
Ye Huanhuan shook her head, about to say no, when Ye Haiming and Gao Yalan walked up behind her and asked with concern:
"Huanhuan, what happened? Why are they here?"
Ye Huanhuan immediately replied, "Mom and Dad, I don't know either, but judging from their appearance, they should be working as waiters in this hotel."
Noticing the various expressions on the faces of those around him, and the numerous reporters taking photos, Ye Haiming lowered his voice and asked Ye Huanhuan:
"Huanhuan, are all the things they said true? Did you really smash up the Xia family's old house? And beat their son so badly that he had to be hospitalized?"
Ye Huanhuan immediately denied it, "Dad, I absolutely did not do such a thing. When I returned to the Xia family, I just wanted to completely sever ties with them. I did not have the bodyguards hit Xia Pengpeng, nor did I smash the Xia family's old house."
"If that's the case, why would the Xia family say such things about you in front of everyone?" Ye Haiming frowned, clearly not believing what Ye Huanhuan said.
Gao Yalan, fearing that Ye Huanhuan was afraid to admit it, said earnestly:
"Huanhuan, Mom and Dad will help you. Please tell us the truth."
"Mom and Dad, please believe me, I really didn't do it!"
Ye Huanhuan once again firmly denied it, saying, "If you really don't believe what I'm saying, you can call Secretary Liu and the group of bodyguards who came with me to the Xia family that day."
