"Xiuyuan." Xia Mei called him casually.
The threat was light and casual, but it carried a familiar feeling of suffocation.
Ji Shuyu listened and held Gu Xiuyuan's hand tightly.
In the past, when she saw him being threatened, she was just a bystander, but now that the matter involved her, she would not let him face it alone.
Gu Xiuyuan was somewhat surprised by her reaction. He looked at the little girl beside him and saw a smile on her lips. Then he looked at his mother with a more determined look in his eyes.
The atmosphere between the mother and son was not right, and Qin Chuan and his son were not in a position to observe other people's family affairs. They said a polite word to Xia Mei and went to the other side.
Xia Mei couldn't get angry with the guests present. She gritted her teeth and said, "Come here."
"Are you sure you want me to come over now?"
Gu Xiuyuan had a smile on his face, and others couldn't tell how tense the atmosphere was between the mother and son.
Everyone in the audience knew that Xia Mei intended to match Gu Xiuyuan and Huo Yuxuan, but he made a high-profile appearance with Ji Shuyu in the spotlight under everyone's attention.
She looked at him so gently, with eyes full of tenderness, as if there was no room for anyone else in her eyes.
"You've thought about it a long time ago, right!" Xia Mei gritted her teeth.
"You asked me to come, and now I am here. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Xia Mei was furious, then looked at Ji Shuyu coldly, as if she hated her for ruining her plan.
Ji Shuyu did not avoid Xia Mei's gaze, and then called out lightly: "Aunt."
Xia Mei choked and immediately looked even more unhappy.
He seemed quiet on weekdays, but he challenged her at the critical moment?
She narrowed her eyes slightly, but Ji Shuyu did not dodge.
Ji Shuyu knew what Xia Mei was thinking. Without Su Yan, the thorn in her side, she would naturally choose someone who would be more helpful to the Gu family and to her.
She saw the woman in the center of the party as soon as she came in, and she had a strong premonition that she was the legendary Miss Huo.
㦳 Qianranran seemed to be hesitant to speak, and the person she was talking about should be this person.
The affairs between the Gu and Huo families had been circulating for quite some time. Before now, she had not asked about it, not only because of her trust in Xiuyuan, but also because she felt that Xiuyuan could handle it.
But now, she didn't want to stand behind him and wait for his protection. She wanted to stand beside him and face it with him no matter what happened.
Xia Mei saw through her thoughts and chuckled disdainfully, as if laughing at his overestimation of his own abilities, but she was too lazy to say a single sarcastic word.
Ji Shuyu just smiled and looked at Huo Yuxuan on the side.
Across the crowd, Huo Yuxuan felt a little flustered by this look, and her confidence was somewhat shattered by this look.
As soon as I saw Ji Shuyu, a voice would remind me: You are fake, you are fake...
He had clearly known of her existence and had clearly already resolved everything, but standing face to face like this, she subconsciously wanted to hide.
But in the end, she managed to hold on.
The fire in the orphanage had destroyed everything that could be destroyed. No one would ever know the secret again. Now, no one could take away everything she had.
Thinking of this, her body, which had stiffened for a moment, slowly relaxed, and then she raised her head proudly.
Ji Shuyu raised her chin slightly and looked at her. It seemed as if everyone could feel the silent war between the two of them, and they all acted as if they were watching the fun.
The most shocked person was Gu Xiuyuan. Looking at the little girl beside him, the smile in his eyes became even more intense.
With just one glance, everyone present knew what was going on, except for the fact that "it turns out to be the self-conceited guy from the Huo family" was written all over their faces.
Being humiliated in front of everyone, Huo Yuxuan could hardly control her facial expression. She glanced at Xia Mei, put down the cup, and left angrily.
"Miss Huo!" Xia Mei saw this and hurried over.
The bodyguard waiting at the door put a coat on Huo Yuxuan, and another stopped Xia Mei who was chasing after her.
Xia Mei felt a little embarrassed when she was stopped by the bodyguard, but she couldn't afford to offend the Huo family.
"Yuxuan..."
"Chairman Xia, please stay!"
The extended Rolls-Royce stopped at the door, and Huo Yuxuan leaned in.
As the car stopped, Huo Yuxuan clenched her fingers tightly. Only then did she realize that the palm of her hand was really pierced.
"Miss, shall we go back to the hotel?"
Huo Yuxuan gritted her teeth and said after a moment, "Go back to D."
…
Huo Yuxuan left just like that, and people's focus of discussion once again shifted to the relationship between the Huo family and the Gu family.
The rumor has been going on for so long, and it ends like this?
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this cocktail party was held for Huo Yuxuan, but it ended up like this. How should Xia Mei end this?
The Huo family will not let it go when their precious daughter is humiliated like this at the Gu family banquet.
Although Xia Mei tried her best to keep smiling, the atmosphere at the cocktail party had obviously become subtle.
Her ex-husband had an affair, and the gossip behind her back hadn't subsided yet, and now she was slapped in the face by her own son. This feeling... most people couldn't stand it, let alone the strong Xia Mei.
Even though Gu Xiuyuan had many complaints about his mother at the Gu family banquet, he couldn't really just walk away. He was a little worried that Ji Shuyu was tired, but the little girl who usually hid in the corner at banquets was by his side this time.
Ji Shuyu responded to the guests with a polite smile. One or two women who tried to show their courtesy retreated under her "friendly" gaze.
Gu Xiuyuan held Ji Shuyu's hand and couldn't help smiling.
"So, you're asserting your sovereignty?"
Thinking of the way she and Huo Yuxuan looked at each other just now, the smile in her eyes became even more intense.
"Of course!" Ji Shuyu nodded. "I believe you, but what the right people should know must also be known to them."
"I have to tell those women who covet you that you are mine."
These words really made Gu Xiuyuan happy.
When she didn't even ask about the rumors about the Huo family, he thought he didn't care that much...
"After the day, everyone in Cloud City will know that I am yours." He smiled and gently kissed her forehead, "Seal it."
Ji Shuyu laughed as she listened. "You are mine, shouldn't I be the one to cover you?"
"Okay!" Gu Xiuyuan said, lowering his head and coming over.
Ji Shuyu smiled and patted his shoulder, scolding him for being unruly.
Fu Shengkai and the other man stood aside drinking.
"This sister Yu'er is really... quite unexpected." Qin Chuan found it interesting.
Looking at the weak little girl, I didn’t expect... that she would dare to challenge Xia Mei.
He was a little scared of Xia Mei.
"So, only if you care would you declare ownership like this, right?" Fu Shengkai suddenly asked out of the blue.
Qin Chuan was startled, and when he looked at his brother again, he had already turned his face away.
Fu Shengkai raised his head and drank the wine, then said to Qin Chuan, "Tell Xiuyuan that I'm leaving first."
Well……
Why does this devastated look seem so familiar?
Tsk, could it be that... the situation has really changed?
A cocktail party is a boring place to begin with, not to mention that it has other purposes. Qin Chuan felt bored and left early.
Ji Shuyu was pregnant, and Gu Xiuyuan was afraid that she would be tired, so he saw off a few important guests and they also planned to leave.
At this time, Xia Mei's voice came from behind!
"stop."
