Mo Li's voice was mellifluous, she sounded like a nightingale. However, the content of her words was pointed and cutting. That caused the liveliness of the party to die down instantly.
He Sen glanced at Mo Li. This girlie dares to talk back to her elders?!
"What do you mean by that?" Old Madam Xu couldn't contain herself anymore. She stood up in a rage and slammed the table twice, causing all the dishes to tremble. "So this is how the Mo Family teaches their children? You are going to allow her to humiliate a valued guest like me?!"
"Mo Li, don't you think you've gone overboard with your words?" He Sen glared at Mo Li gloomily. After all, the 3 dramas Old Madam Xu mentioned were directed by He Sen. As a newbie, how can she not give me face? If the words got out that a newbie trampled all over me, how am I supposed to show my face around Huan Yu Entertainment anymore?
"I didn't mean to offend anyone. I was just saying that I'm not interested in the possible resources the two of you can provide me." Mo Li then sat back down and gestured for her father and brothers to do the same. Her meaning was clear, there was no point to lower themselves to these people's level. Mo Li didn't look smug or arrogant. She looked indifferent like she was merely stating the facts.
"You..." Old Madam Xu was about to retort when Mo Li interrupted her by turning to He Sen and asked with amusement, "Vice President He, I wonder if you know who Huan Yu's biggest advertisement client this season is?"
Hearing that, Old Madam He's face darkened. She had been telling everyone that He Sen was the president of Huan Yu, but Mo Li had exposed He Sen's real position before everyone. The girl is trying to shame us! What an awful girl! Sensing the shifting gaze from Old Madam Xu and Old Madam Xiao, Old Madam He explained quickly, "Our He Sen and Zhan Hai are cousin, they have very good relationship. It doesn't really matter who the president and the vice president are. They have the same amount of power."
"The situation over that table seems to get quite tensed. Are we just going to sit here?" Elder Lin commented as he glanced from the table reserved for the patriarchs of the different families. Elder Lin saw that someone was bullying his potential granddaughter in law, he was not going to sit idly by!
"Do you think you don't have enough on your plate? Honestly, with my wife over there, it's a miracle if nothing happens." Elder Xu sighed helplessly. Frankly, when he was young, he wanted to find an educated and cultured wife. One who could share his passion in literature.
Elder Mo managed to find the life partner Elder Xu couldn't. Instead, Elder Xu was snagged up by this Old Madam Xu who was so brash and vulgar.
"It'll be fine. Our sons are all there, nothing will happen." Elder Mo glanced at the other table and thought to himself. If any of them dare to bully my Sweetie, I'll make them regret coming to my home! But this can be a good thing too. With this opportunity, I should talk to Sweetie later about distancing herself away from the entertainment industry and focus more on her family...
He Sen coughed and sat down in the empty chair beside Old Madam Xu. The mention of the advertisement client made him angry. Initially Ferdinand would have chosen someone from his side to be the advertisement model but at a party, Ferdinand got to know someone from Zhan Hai's side. They even set up an impromptu commercial shoot. Now that He Sen thought about it, he could still feel the residual fury running through his veins.
