Herbert Smith was visibly taken aback, but after a moment's realization, he immediately said, "It's okay, I just like running red lights!"
After saying that, he moved his hands even more violently.
Ye Huanhuan finally understood, and she could only curse wildly in her heart:
You perverted foreign devil!
On the other side, in the banquet hall.
Tang Yi scanned the banquet hall for a long time but couldn't find Ye Huanhuan. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Just as his thoughts were drifting, Ye Haiming, who was busy receiving guests, noticed his arrival.
Ye Haiming smiled with delight and quickly led Ye Ting and Ye Ru forward to greet Tang Yi warmly.
"Young Master Tang, it's been a long time!" Ye Haiming said with a hearty laugh as he extended his hand.
Seeing this, Tang Yi politely responded, shaking the other's hand and saying with a smile, "President Ye, it has indeed been a long time. Today's banquet is truly lively and wonderful!"
"Haha, yes, they're all business associates. This is a good opportunity for us to get together and strengthen our relationships."
Ye Haiming explained with a smile, and then introduced Ye Ru and Ye Ting, who were beside him, to Tang Yi.
"This is my daughter, Ye Ru, and my son, Ye Ting. My son had met Young Master Tang once before; I wonder if Young Master Tang remembers him?"
"Of course I remember, Miss Ye. Young Master Ye is indeed a man of exceptional talent and outstanding ability." Tang Yi offered a few polite compliments, then nodded to Ye Ting and Ye Ru in greeting.
"Haha, Young Master Tang, you flatter me." Ye Haiming's gaze shifted to Tang Yi's side. "Didn't Young Master Tang bring a female companion today?"
“She was supposed to come,” Tang Yi said regretfully, “but unfortunately she has something to do and can’t make it.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Haiming's eyes lit up, and he asked with feigned concern, "Oh? Is that so? That's such a pity. I wonder which young lady possesses such charm to win Young Master Tang's favor?"
Tang Yi's lips curled up slightly as he looked at Ye Haiming with a half-smile, secretly wondering: What is this old fox up to?
"Speaking of which, this young lady is someone Mr. Ye knows."
"oh?"
Ye Haiming was taken aback. Did he know him?
Could it be his rumored fiancée?
But he hadn't heard of the Wang family sending anyone to S City. After thinking it over, the Zhou family seemed the most likely candidate.
He asked tentatively:
"Could she be the Zhou family's daughter?"
"How come I didn't know that Mr. Ye had a hobby of prying into people's private lives?"
Seeing this, Ye Haiming gave an awkward smile, but not wanting to press the matter further, he changed the subject and warmly invited:
"I apologize, Mr. Tang, for my rudeness. In that case, why don't we sit down over there and have a proper chat? I have a very promising project in hand recently, and I've been hoping to find a capable partner like you, Mr. Tang, to develop it together."
"Oh? Mr. Ye really is always thinking about cooperation."
Tang Yi's tone carried a hint of teasing, and he continued:
"However, I don't want to discuss business today. I'm really sorry, Mr. Ye. Let's talk about the cooperation another day."
At this moment, Ye Haiming's embarrassment was impossible to hide.
That wretched brat! He didn't even give me any face!
However, despite his dissatisfaction, Ye Haiming could only complain inwardly and dared not express it to anyone's face.
"In that case, please make yourself at home, Young Master Tang."
Ye Haiming quickly composed himself, regaining his polite and courteous demeanor. After maintaining a certain distance from Tang Yi, he lowered his voice and said to Ye Ru:
"Go over and have a few drinks with Young Master Tang."
A glint of light flashed in Ye Ru's eyes, and her heart involuntarily quickened.
She knew her chance had come!
A look of embarrassment appeared on her face, and her eyes revealed just the right amount of apology.
"Daddy, have you forgotten? I have to go see Mr. Herbert later, so I don't have time to spend with Mr. Tang. How about this, why don't you let Huanhuan come down and keep Mr. Tang company?"
After listening, Ye Haiming nodded, agreeing that Ye Ru's suggestion made a lot of sense.
So he turned to the maid standing to the side and beckoned, and ordered, "Go and call Huanhuan down."
The maid nodded quickly in agreement, then turned and left the banquet hall.
Less than three minutes later, the maid rushed back.
Ye Haiming keenly noticed the servant's unusual behavior. He frowned and asked in confusion:
"What's with all this rushing around? Where's Huanhuan? Why didn't she come with us?"
The maid glanced nervously at Ye Ru and Ye Ting, seemingly hesitant.
Upon seeing this, Ye Ting felt a surge of dissatisfaction. He coldly said:
"Is there anything you can't say in front of us?"
These words immediately startled the maid, who trembled all over and dared not conceal anything any longer.
He walked timidly to the three men and stammered, "Sir, Miss Huanhuan...she's in the dressing room...having a secret meeting with Mr. Herbert..."
"What?!"
Ye Haiming's voice unconsciously rose, completely forgetting that there were other people around.
However, his outburst did not attract much attention because music was playing in the banquet hall.
Ye Ting retorted sarcastically, "I told you long ago that this woman is no good at all! The banquet hasn't even started yet, and she's already hooking up with Mr. Herbert."
