From the moment the recording began playing, no one in the banquet hall had spoken and the music had long been turned off.
As the unpleasant words in the recording reached their ears, Yan Hongzhuo and Pei Lan's expressions became increasingly gloomy.
In the banquet hall, when the recording finished playing, the group of people who had just appeared in the surveillance and were pointing fingers at Yan Xixi were trembling with fear.
Yan Hongzhuo's face turned cold.
He knew that not everyone was satisfied with Yan Xixi and Yan Chaochao's identities, and he also knew that there would be many people gossiping about them behind their backs. But these people should never say such things in front of Yan Xixi and Yan Chaochao!
Yan Hongzhuo made a decision almost immediately, "Please ask them to leave. They cannot be invited to any banquets of the Yan Group in the future."
After saying this, Yan Hongzhuo glanced at the pale faces of several people and added lightly: "I don't want the Yan Group to have any cooperation with their company in the future."
Lan Zhen's sisters had been pretending to be deaf and dumb just now, but after hearing these two sentences, they could no longer sit still.
They came to this dinner because their families had some sort of cooperative relationship with the Yan Group. If their families knew about this, and if their gossip behind their backs caused losses to the family business, they would definitely not be happy back home!
All of a sudden, the little sisters who had been with Lan Zhen just now started shouting.
"Uncle Yan, I was wrong... I just didn't dare to refute Lan Zhen. In fact, I didn't think that way at all..."
"It was Lan Zhen who was trying to sow discord between us, so I couldn't help myself and said a few angry words."
"Yes, Uncle Yan. If Lan Zhen hadn't said bad things about Yan Xixi in front of me, I wouldn't have said that. It was Lan Zhen who instigated us to mock Yan Xixi!"
Ever since Lan Zhen got into trouble, her group of "little sisters" have completely decided to abandon her. Now they are even more eager to put the blame on Lan Zhen, trying to get Yan Hongzhuo to withdraw the punishment on their own company.
After hearing what they said, Lan Zhen, who was already slumped on the ground, widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief.
She never expected that she had just been in trouble and the sister who was chatting and laughing with her just a second ago would ruthlessly stab her with a knife several times.
For a moment, a fierce look flashed in Lan Zhen's eyes.
Since you are so unkind, don't blame her for being unjust!
"Feng Jiang, why are you acting so stupid here? When I received the message earlier, weren't you the one who mocked Yan Xixi as a wild chicken in the group? I still have the chat history on my phone. Do you want me to show it to everyone?"
"And you! Tian Shaomei! When the dinner just started, you were the one who told me Yan Xixi's location and said you wanted to go over there for some fun!"
"As for you... Fan Ziwan, stop being so hypocritical. Just now you said that it was a good thing your family didn't propose marriage to the Yan family. Otherwise, if the marriage went through and you married a faker, your family would have become a laughing stock in the community. Do you dare to swear to heaven that you didn't say that!"
Everyone whose name was called by Lan Zhen lost all color in an instant.
Even if they don't look around, they can feel the scrutiny of people around them.
If what happened today gets out, their reputation in this circle will be completely ruined!
"Enough!" Yan Hongzhuo interrupted the biting scene.
Today is the dinner to introduce Yan Chaochao to the circle, and he has no intention of listening to this group of people blaming each other.
Yan Hongzhuo's face was gloomy. "Please ask these young ladies and their families to leave!"
The security guards arrived quickly and "invited" Lan Zhen and her sisters to leave the dinner, along with their families.
Yan Hongzhuo's eyes swept through the crowd and he said in a deep voice, "I said it from the beginning. Now Yan Chaochao and Yan Xixi are both my daughters, both young ladies of the Yan family."
"If there are still people who want to say bad things about my daughter, Yan Hongzhuo, behind her back, the fate of these people today will be the result!"
Listening to Yan Hongzhuo's words, Yan Xixi, who was the center of the topic, kept her eyes on Yan Chaochao.
Meeting Yan Xixi's gaze, Yan Chaochao raised his eyebrows and gave her a bright smile.
When Yan Xixi saw this smile, her heart moved and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
turn out to be……
She was trying to protect me.
At the same time, Yan Chaochao looked at Yan Xixi with a smile and took a bite of the small cake in his hand with satisfaction.
It’s another day of successfully protecting my little money!
Yan Chaochao and Yan Xixi had different ideas, but at this moment they reached a surprising consensus -
From now on, I have to be nicer to Yan Chaochao/Yan Xixi!
***
The Yan family’s dinner was over, and everyone returned home with their own thoughts.
The dinner was mostly small and exquisite desserts. Although Yan Chaochao ate a lot of desserts, he was still hungry. After everyone left, Yan Chaochao ran to the kitchen and asked the family chef to make him a bowl of noodles.
The Yan family's chef was specially hired and worked in shifts 24 hours a day. Even though it was already midnight, there was still a chef in the kitchen.
When the noodles were served, Yan Chaochao sat down at the table. Just as he picked up his chopsticks, he noticed a silent dark shadow curled up on the sofa.
When I looked closely, I realized that the black shadow was actually Yan Xixi.
Yan Xixi curled up on the sofa, gently pressing her stomach with her hand, feeling dizzy.
Ever since joining the Yan Group, even though Yan Xixi was the daughter of the Yan family, she had to attend drinking and dining parties. When she first joined the group, in order to gain a foothold in the group as quickly as possible, Yan Xixi attended different dinner parties almost every day, and drinking was also a common occurrence.
During that time, Yan Xixi ran forward without looking back, with only the distant goal in her mind.
By the time my body starts to show signs of trouble and I finally react, I realize that stomach problems have already hit me.
At the Yan Group's dinner party today, whether they were there to mock or to gather information, they all had to clink glasses and drink a few sips. Perhaps it was because too many things had happened recently, but unexpectedly, just these few glasses of wine would cause Yan Xixi's stomach problems to relapse.
Feeling the pain in his stomach, Yan Xixi couldn't help but let out a soft "hiss".
Just when Yan Xixi was about to stay for a while and go upstairs to her room to rest, a cup suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Drink some hot water."
Yan Xixi was still a little dazed until she took the hot water from Yan Chaochao's hand, and then she felt a warmth in her lower abdomen.
Yan Chaochao placed the hot water bottle he had just found on Yan Xixi's lower abdomen and looked up at her. "Do you feel better?"
The warm yellow light fell on Yan Chaozhao's face. She was wearing a burgundy fishtail skirt, but she squatted down without caring at all. She raised her eyes slightly, and her delicate eyebrows were full of concern.
Yan Xixi held the water cup, her eyes fell on Yan Chaochao, feeling the warmth coming from her palms and abdomen.
For a moment, she seemed to be trapped in an incredibly warm dream.
"Um."
Yan Xixi nodded gently, looked at Yan Chaochao's brows which relaxed after hearing the answer, and made a silent decision in her heart.
She would never let the ending of Yan Chaochao in the novel happen again!
must!
