It was still early, not even 8:30, so He Yaonian took Mingdai to another event.
Mingdai was wearing a formal dress, looking dignified and elegant.
The little bit of water from the teacup had no effect on the dress; there were no visible marks.
"Would you like to take my arm?"
Before stepping onto the long red carpet, He Yaonian took the initiative to move his arm toward Ming Dai.
Mingdai had no idea where she was or what she was doing.
"Third Uncle, you brought me here..."
Isn't it supposed to be about checking the waist?
Luxury cars filled the place, and the noise of people could be heard even before entering the venue.
He Yaonian's arm remained bent and unchanged.
His deep voice and alluring smile were captivating.
"Don't you want to take over your dad's company?"
Mingdai was taken aback.
How did He Yaonian find out?
She never mentioned it to him.
"The housekeeper said you seem to have found a job recently, so I asked you a few more questions."
He Yaonian moved his arm again, silently urging him on.
He said, "It's not hard to guess. Your dad has a heart condition, and you want to share the burden with him, right?"
Mingdai was amazed by He Yaonian's meticulousness. Her hand unconsciously slipped through his arm, her fingers gripping his suit sleeve tightly.
"Did my third uncle bring me here to pave the way for me?"
He Yao chuckled lightly, "It's just a side thing."
Yes, for He Yaonian, it was just a small favor.
Despite countless people offering money and gifts and shamelessly begging and pleading with him, they could not obtain even the slightest favor from him.
And what gives her the right to do so?
Lost in their thoughts, the two of them had already successfully stepped onto the stairs.
Wherever He Yaonian goes, he inevitably causes a great stir, especially today with a woman in his arms.
Mingdai was too new a face in this circle of the wealthy; almost no one present recognized her.
Immediately, everyone began to speculate.
They dared not chirp too loudly, and could only whisper among themselves.
"Didn't you say that He Yaonian never planned to get married in his life?"
"This is the first time He Yaonian has allowed a woman to walk beside him and even link arms with him. Is this the kind of treatment Mrs. He is receiving?"
"I heard that Grandpa He arranged a marriage for He Yaonian back then. Could it be this woman?"
Everyone was chattering away in hushed tones, but Mingdai couldn't hear a word they were saying.
After He Yaonian greeted the important figures present with Mingdai, he ignored their questions about Mingdai's relationship with him and simply left them to guess.
With his attitude, what's there to guess? Anyone with eyes can see what's going on.
Mingdai had a mouth and wanted to explain, but she couldn't very well tell everyone that she was He Yaonian's niece-in-law.
He Yaonian doesn't have a single nephew who is properly married.
Mo Tingchuan is someone who can't stand the light of day and doesn't deserve to be mentioned.
Mingdai remained silent, thinking that nothing was more important than networking and connections than getting to know people.
Also because of He Yaonian, Mingdai's glass of champagne, which she had been holding since the beginning, was still half full after meeting several big shots.
He Yaonian wouldn't let her drink, and the big shots naturally didn't take it personally, even making a few jokes about He Yaonian with their laughter.
Mingdai pretended not to understand anything, all for the sake of achieving one goal: expanding her resources.
Are you tired?
After finally getting out of the crowd, He Yaonian casually put the champagne in Mingdai's hand on a table, not intending for her to drink any more.
Mingdai's feet felt slightly uncomfortable in the high heels, but she didn't tell He Yaonian.
"Not tired."
Mingdai smiled, in a good mood.
"Thank you, Third Uncle."
It was a seemingly random remark, but both of them understood it perfectly.
He Yaonian glanced down at Ming Dai's graceful figure in her dress, his gaze lingering for a moment on her long, white neck.
Mingdai was wearing the necklace that He Yaonian had given her before.
This necklace is very practical, suitable for most occasions, and is quite expensive, making it a presentable piece.
Of course, the most important thing is that Mingdai likes it.
He Yaonian subtly curled his lips and took Mingdai to get something to eat.
Mingdai wasn't pretentious; she ate whatever He Yaonian gave her.
The two sat in the corner, where they had a little peace and quiet.
Just as they finished eating and drinking, someone pulled He Yaoyuan over.
When Mingdai saw the man, she remembered that he was a playboy from the wealthy social circles that Mo Qingying had met.
"You must tell us which family's young lady has captured the heart of our Third Master He."
The young master came here for Mingdai.
He had met Mingdai and knew her identity, yet he was saying such things now, clearly intending to provoke trouble.
Mingdai's heart skipped a beat.
She subconsciously looked at He Yaonian beside her.
Many people nearby turned to look when they heard the noise.
Everyone was very curious about Mingdai's identity.
He Yaoyuan didn't know He Yaonian was here before. He rushed over because Mo Qingying called and said that He Yaonian was making a fool of himself by bringing Ming Dai with him.
Since leaving the He family villa in a fit of anger last time, He Yaoyuan has basically never seen He Yaonian again.
The two brothers looked at each other silently, and He Yaoyuan could not see any guilt in He Yaonian's aloof and indifferent eyes.
His younger brother, who was much younger than him, never paid him any attention from the first time he saw him as a child.
"I was wondering why I hadn't seen you. Turns out you came here with your niece-in-law."
He Yaoyuan hated He Yaonian's unapproachability and lack of human understanding.
He had so many opportunities to apologize to his brother, he could have just made a phone call, but he acted as if nothing had happened, completely disregarding his brother's feelings and treating him as if his brother didn't exist.
If that's the case, then why should he care about his feelings anymore?
"Does Tingchuan know that you brought Mingdai out?"
He Yaoyuan wanted to show everyone the most despicable side of He Yaonian: disregarding human relations, morally bankrupt, and harboring impure thoughts towards his nephew's wife while plotting to take advantage of her.
"What? She's Third Master He's niece-in-law?"
The playboy exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible! She was just holding onto Third Master He's arm, they were so intimate!"
The expressions of those around who were watching the drama unfold were priceless; no one had expected it to turn out this way!
He Yaonian stood up, his tall figure radiating an imposing aura that was incredibly intimidating.
"Brother, you've really had too much to drink. My He family's nephews and nieces are all busy with work, and none of them have gotten married yet. It's alright if you're mistaken, but if it implicates others, then that would be your fault."
He Yaoyuan's willfulness has made it impossible for the Mo family members to continue living in the He family villa.
If they continue to be stubborn and refuse to see the truth, not only will the Mo family members be recognized, but even He Yaoyuan will likely be completely cut off from the He family.
"Who do you think you are, a junior member of the family, to presume to interfere in everything I do, including my business as Third Master He?"
He Yaonian glanced at the dissolute young master with a half-smile.
"Who taught you to be so arrogant? Huh?"
