The atmosphere at the banquet instantly froze. No one dared to speak, but Madam Liang hadn't figured out the situation yet. She only felt she'd lost a lot of face in public, and her cheeks were burning.
She was furious, her eyes filled with venom as she looked at Huo Yuan, "Huo Yuan, let go!"
Huo Yuan's aura was icy cold. Hearing this, he flung her away with a look of indifference, then turned to Su Tang with concern, "Yaoyao, are you hurt?"
Compared to the people at the banquet with their varied expressions, Su Tang was very calm, "I'm fine."
She was fine, but Madam Liang was not. Wearing ten-centimeter high heels, she lost her balance when she was flung and fell directly to the ground. In the process, she knocked over a bottle of red wine on the table. As she fell, the bottle of red wine exploded beside her, the red wine stains directly dyeing her dress red, making her look extremely disheveled.
Madam Liang lost all reason. At this moment, she only wanted to tear Lin Yaoyao and Huo Yuan to pieces, but as soon as she stood up from the ground, she was stopped.
The one who stopped her was the little assistant. Madam Liang didn't understand business matters and didn't recognize the little assistant. It was also because she didn't recognize him that she became even more arrogant.
In her eyes, anyone she didn't recognize was poor. She had clearly recognized all the young masters and misses in City A, or at least they would look familiar. This kind of unfamiliar face must be some kind of wage earner.
The little assistant was indeed a wage earner, but he was different from ordinary wage earners. He used to represent Yuan Corporation and signed several big deals. Although he was an assistant, he was the president's right-hand man. Who would dare to underestimate him, especially at that time, when no one knew what the Yuan Corporation president looked like, and all cooperation was done through the little assistant.
But now, he was stopping Madam Liang, "Madam, please apologize to our President's wife."
The words "President's wife" shocked everyone again.
They had only just found out about the Yuan Corporation's president today, how could he already have a wife in the blink of an eye?!
Only Su Tang, who was standing to the side, had a dark face, "Shut up!"
Little assistant, "Yes, President's wife."
Su Tang, "…Don't call me that!"
Little assistant, "Understood, President's wife."
Su Tang: …
Su Tang was so angry that she could only raise her foot and kick Huo Yuan hard, kicking his calf. Soon, a footprint was left on his black suit pants, but Huo Yuan didn't take it seriously. Instead, he asked her nervously, "Are you really okay?"
Su Tang was expressionless, "I'm fine, but you're going to be in trouble."
Huo Yuan laughed. The two were close, and although there was no physical contact, they looked very intimate.
"I'll deduct his salary, don't be angry." His tone was really like a foolish emperor.
The little assistant also looked like a flattering little eunuch next to a foolish emperor in ancient times, and actually said, "It was me who made the President's wife angry, it's right to deduct my salary."
Su Tang was powerless.
She didn't want to pay attention to these two people at all, and even less did she want to continue this broken banquet. She rubbed her temples, feeling very headache, and said, "Grandma, I want to go back and rest, I'm tired."
The Old Madam Lin was extremely satisfied, and the wrinkles on her face were all squeezed together with her smile, "Okay, okay, then let Huo Yuan help you go back to rest?"
Su Tang was even more powerless. This was the Lin family, and Huo Yuan wasn't the host, what was he helping!
She wanted to refuse, so she scanned the banquet hall, intending to call Lin Zeyan, but this guy was really unreliable at a critical moment. When their eyes met, he actually ran away!
And he had a look of horror on his face.
The Lin family held this banquet, and at first everyone thought it was to celebrate Lin Yaoyao, but now they understood the Old Madam Lin's deep meaning.
This was not a celebration at all, this was feeding them dog food!
Before, Lin Yaoyao was taking care of Huo Yuan, and many people were waiting to see a joke, but they were the joke.
Taking care of him my ass, they were playing a little romance!
The romance between a sugar mama and a gigolo, they didn't understand, so they almost became cannon fodder, like Madam Liang.
Now, everyone looked at Madam Liang with sympathy. She had offended both the Lin and Huo families at once. Madam Liang was going to be in trouble.
Su Tang naturally had a room in the Lin family's main residence. Although the Old Madam Lin didn't like her, she had never lacked anything in terms of material things. The bedroom was naturally large and bright.
As soon as Su Tang entered the bedroom, she threw off her high heels. Huo Yuan followed behind her and put them away, then stepped forward.
A pair of slender jade feet stepped on the thick carpet. The color of the carpet was particularly bright, making her skin look even whiter. Huo Yuan only glanced at it, and his eyes deepened.
However, he didn't do anything excessive, but took a pair of slippers and gestured for her to put them on.
Su Tang now only wanted to go against him. It was impossible for her to put them on. Not only did she not put them on, but she kicked them aside in front of him.
"Mr. Huo has got his wish, are you happy?"
With this commotion at the banquet, even if she clarified, they would still be a couple in the eyes of outsiders, or at least they used to be a couple.
Huo Yuan's trick was quite clever.
Was Huo Yuan happy?
He thought he would be happy. He dreamed of turning her into his own, but only now did he realize that he was not happy.
"Yaoyao, if I pursue you again, would you be willing to agree?"
Su Tang was stunned for a moment. This guy had been difficult to talk to since he revealed his true nature, being arbitrary, and going his own way. But now, he would actually ask for her opinion.
She opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Reject? No, she still had to do the task, but accept? It would seem very strange that she had just thrown a tantrum, as if she was… being coquettish with him?
Su Tang frowned, neither agreeing nor refusing. Huo Yuan, on the other hand, was very patient.
"It's okay, you can take your time to consider."
Compared to her previous astonishment, Su Tang was now calm. Her blackening value had dropped by almost half, so reason must have prevailed. She said, "Alright, I want to sleep, Mr. Huo, please leave."
Su Tang drove him away. Huo Yuan only took a deep look at her, then gentlemanly retreated out, but as soon as he reached the door, he saw a servant running over in a panic.
"Miss, something bad has happened, Young Master is in trouble."
Su Tang was stunned and asked, "What happened? Speak clearly."
Servant, "Young Master got someone pregnant, now the banquet is in chaos!"
Su Tang was shocked. It had only been a short time, Lin Zeyan's actions were too fast. She put on her high heels haphazardly and followed the servant down. Sure enough, there was already crying at the banquet.
However, the crying didn't sound professional enough, it was obviously fake.
"My daughter is only in her early twenties, she hasn't been an adult for long, and her belly is already big, but you still refuse to take responsibility. You heartless rich people, you only know how to bully us poor people!"
A middle-aged woman was crying and pounding her chest beside her, but the daughter she was talking about was expressionless, letting the woman pull her like a doll.
Su Tang looked at the girl and was shocked. This… wasn't this the heroine from Daming Lake?!
Looking at her expression, an idea suddenly popped into Huo Yuan's mind.
He tried to maintain his original voice, not hurried or slow, "Don't you think she looks familiar?"
Su Tang, "How could I not! She shouldn't be with Huo…"
Halfway through her words, the system hurriedly opened its mouth, "Damn, shut up!"
