"It's just a beautiful vase. No matter how much men like it, in their eyes it's nothing more than a plaything."
Amidst the envious voices, a disdainful one suddenly emerged.
Looking in the direction of the sound, it turned out to be Chen Huimei.
Su Yaoyao narrowed her eyes, a hint of coldness in them. Her icy, warning gaze swept over Chen Huimei, making Chen Huimei stiffen.
Chen Huimei's expression darkened slightly.
Damn it, she was actually scared by just one look from Su Yaoyao!
Su Yaoyao didn't look at Chen Huimei again, and went with Yu Chiyan to the main seat where Old Master Xiao was.
"Happy birthday, Mr. Xiao."
The two stood still, and Yu Chiyan spoke first, offering his congratulatory words before having the prepared gifts brought to him.
Old Master Xiao was dressed in rich clothes, his wrinkled face was radiant, and his eyes were bright and shrewd. He glanced at the gifts that Yu Chiyan had sent to bring up, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"Chi Yan, you're here, so why bring such an expensive gift?"
Yu Chiyan bowed slightly; "It's nothing precious, just a small token of my appreciation."
Xiao Qing, who was standing to the side, suddenly said, "Is this President Yu's wife? She's really beautiful."
Su Yaoyao was taken aback when Xiao Qing suddenly called her name. She paused for a moment before realizing what was happening.
"Grandpa Xiao, your birthday is coming soon."
Old Master Xiao simply nodded and didn't say anything more.
After greeting everyone, Su Yaoyao turned her gaze to Xiao Qing beside her.
She wore a long red dress, had exquisite makeup on her face, and had long, wine-red hair that reached her waist, making her look just like a heroine from a comic book.
Xiao Qing's beauty is the kind that has an aggressive edge, stunning people at first glance, while Jiang Wen is more like a gentle and beautiful woman from the Jiangnan water towns. The two are completely different types, and Su Yaoyao's eyes deepened.
"When it comes to beauty, who can compare to Miss Xiao?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing's face lit up with a bright smile.
"Mr. Yu, your wife really knows how to talk."
Yu Chiyan smiled, his gaze towards Su Yaoyao filled with tenderness.
As Xiao Qing watched this scene, a hint of coldness flashed deep in her eyes, but when she spoke, her voice remained sweet and delicate.
"Aside from not being very good at judging people, Mrs. Yu is perfect in every way."
Su Yaoyao sneered inwardly. Sure enough, Xiao Qing still held a grudge against her because she had helped Jiang Wen.
Before she could speak, Yu Chiyan's somewhat displeased voice rang out first.
"Miss Xiao, are you belittling me?"
The man's handsome face was somewhat gloomy.
Xiao Qing's smile froze instantly. Oh no!
She was so focused on warning Su Yaoyao not to interfere in Jiang Wen's affairs that she accidentally said the wrong thing.
"President Yu, that's not what I meant."
Yu Chiyan looked at Xiao Qing with icy eyes, his tone quite aggressive.
"Chi Yan, you and Jun Xian are good brothers, and Qingqing is his fiancée. How could she be talking about you?"
Although Old Master Xiao was smiling, his gaze inexplicably turned somewhat cold when he looked at Su Yaoyao.
"I think Mrs. Yu is quite young and seems a bit naive. Qingqing's meaning is probably to remind Mrs. Yu not to trust others too much when she's out, especially when making friends. If she gets involved with shady people, it won't just affect her personal reputation, but it might also implicate Chi Yan. Don't you agree, Chi Yan?"
Just as Su Yaoyao was about to retort, Yu Chiyan suddenly tugged at her hand, signaling her not to speak.
She swallowed the words that were on her throat.
She had thought that Yu Chiyan wouldn't clash with the Xiao family because of her, but unexpectedly, the man's incredibly domineering voice rang out the next second.
"Old Master Xiao is joking. My wife has always had a good eye for men; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to find a man like him. Besides..."
At this point, Yu Chiyan paused, then continued.
"Anyone who dares to approach my wife with ill intentions should think twice before giving me a chance to skin them alive."
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
The smile on Old Master Xiao's face was somewhat stiff, while Xiao Qing's expression had turned completely cold.
She was the one warning Su Yaoyao, but now she's the one being warned.
Su Yaoyao, on the other hand, garnered a lot of envious glances.
"My God, did Su Yaoyao save the galaxy in her past life? CEO Yu spoils her so much!"
"No matter how big or small the matter is, I always stand firmly by her side. I'm so envious."
"Which direction should I kowtow in order to have a husband like President Yu?"
Jiang Wen sat in the corner, listening to the discussions around her, but she felt a little apprehensive.
Xiao Qing indeed became dissatisfied with Su Yaoyao because of her help.
Jiang's father was talking to someone when someone suddenly spoke up.
"President Jiang, I remember your daughter and Mrs. Yu have a good relationship. You mentioned that Old Master Xiao was being sarcastic. Could it be your daughter?"
These words immediately drew a burst of laughter.
The Jiang family is not as powerful as it used to be, and naturally, they are being ostracized and suppressed. Jiang's father had a slight smile on his face.
"How could that be? My daughter is well-mannered and has no connection with those disreputable women outside."
Just after he finished speaking, the CEO, who had been playing on his phone in the crowd, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh my, Mr. Jiang, isn't this your daughter?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man handed the phone to Jiang's father.
