The atmosphere turned deathly awkward.

Xiao Yeyu didn’t expect her joke to induce such a big reaction from Jiang Yining.

After being stunned for a while, she tried to smooth things over. “Yining, I was only joking when I said that my brother is a flirt. Don’t take it seriously, okay?” “Okay.”

Jiang Yining kept mum about her encounter with Xiao Nanchen.

Xiao Yeyu’s lips curled into a smile as she attempted to say something else. However, the atmosphere felt too strange. She struggled to replace the words. “Once I’ve decided on the right girl, I will definitely treat her well for the rest of my life and never look at other girls. Don’t worry, Young Madam Lu.” Xiao Nanchen took the initiative to help himself.

Jiang Yining didn’t even bother to give him a perfunctory acknowledgement.

Instead, she said to Ye Xiaoxi, “Xiaoxi, would you be a dear and get me something to eat?”

“Sure.” Ye Xiaoxi obeyed her unconditionally.

She got up and took a tray with her to the buffet table.

Lu Zhi sensed Jiang Yining’s anger and held her hand as he stared at Xiao Nanchen coldly.

Xiao Yeyu was secretly anxious. She kicked her brother when no one was looking, urging him get lost and not ruin her plans.

Xiao Nanchen was reluctant, but he also knew that he was no match for Lu Zhi. He would only suffer if he fought Lu Zhi head-on.

So, he smiled and said, “I’ll go and say hi to the other guests. You guys chat.” “Thanks, Brother. 1’11 take care of my friends.” Xiao Yeyu responded calmly. Xiao Nanchen nodded slightly and walked away.

Xiao Yeyu heaved a sigh of relief. She met Jiang Yining’s cold gaze and asked tentatively, “Yining, did my brother do something to offend you? Tell me the truth. If he offended you, I won’t let him off easily!”

Some things couldn’t be hidden or suppressed, like they never happened.

That would only make the resentment buried deep down in one’s heart grow.

Xiao Yeyu knew what her brother was like.

She also knew that Jiang Yining wouldn’t give him a hard time for no reason.

Therefore, she wanted to clarify things as soon as possible.

“I saw him flirting with another woman just now.”

Jiang Yining naturally wouldn’t tell anyone that Xiao Nanchen was flirting with her. That wouldn’t just embarrass her, but also Lu Zhi.

Moreover, she would put the Xiao family and Ye Xiaoxi in an unbearable situation.

“Really?” Xiao Yeyu was surprised at first, but then she said angrily, “This bastard, he acts so serious in front of me, but he’s such a flirt behind my back! Sorry for my muddle-headedness to set him up with Xiaoxi!”

“Yining, I’ll tell my parents and let them teach my brother a lesson. Let’s see if he still dares to act recklessly!”

Xiao Yeyu acted as if she was going to personally deal with Xiao Nanchen.

Jiang Yining said, “You didn’t know what your brother did. You don’t have to blame yourself.”

“Sigh, I feel really ashamed.”

Xiao Yeyu stood up and said, “I’ll tell my parents now. Yining, Mr. Lu, sit tight.

I’ll be right back.”

Jiang Yining had no intention of stopping her.

Lu Zhi sat lazily on the sofa, not caring at all about the Xiaos’ family affairs.

Xiao Yeyu stood there for a while more before she walked off angrily.

When only the two of them were left on the sofa, Lu Zhi said, “You’re so nice to Ye Xiaoxi.”

If Ye Xiaoxi was a man, she would probably be a corpse soon.

“She’s my friend. If I don’t treat her well, who should I treat well?” Jiang Yining said matter-of-factly.

“I’m also nice to you. Why haven’t I seen you treat me well? Ye Xiaoxi didn’t do anything for you.” Lu Zhi asked.

Jiang Yining was speechless.

Why was a grown man like him competing with Ye Xiaoxi?

It was so ridiculous.

“There’s nothing to compare between the two of you.”

“Then who is more important in your heart, me or her?” Lu Zhi asked stubbornly.

“Lu Zhi, did you forget to take your medicine today? Why do you have so many questions?”

“Answer my question.”

Lu Zhi’s pitch-black eyes were fixed on her.

“I refuse…”

“You can’t refuse. You must give me an answer.” Lu Zhi said domineeringly.

Jiang Yining’s head hurt.

At this moment, Ye Xiaoxi walked back with a plate of fruits.

She also had a cherry in her mouth; she looked like a very cute squirrel.

Jiang Yining looked at her as if she was her savior.

She quickly got up and sat down next to Ye Xiaoxi. She picked up a grape and said with a smile as she ate it, “Of course, Xiaoxi is more important to me. She brings me food. 1 can’t order you around.”

Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Hearing that she was important, Ye Xiaoxi smiled happily and said, “Yining, is this enough for you? Do you want to eat anything else? I’ll bring them over for you!”

She sounded like she was going to bring Jiang Yining the entire buffet table…

Jiang Yining extinguished her restless thoughts. “No need, I’ll just eat a little.”

Besides, Xiaoxi had left.

Who was going to be her shield if Lu Zhi asked her more strange questions?

“Okay! Okay!” Ye Xiaoxi returned to their table.

Lu Zhi didn’t say anything. He picked up an orange and peeled it slowly.

The three of them sat in strange harmony.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yeyu found her mother and complained, “Mom, look at what my brother has done. I finally made some headway with Lu Zhi, but he had to pester Jiang Yining. He almost fell out with her just now! Please keep him in line because if he continues to cause trouble, all my efforts will be in vain!”

Mrs. Xiao had always hoped to marry her daughter into a wealthy family so that the Xiao family would also prosper with her in-laws.

She was furious when she heard about her son’s actions.

“Alright, 1’11 deal with him and make him restrain himself. Don’t be angry.”

“Hmph, how can I not be angry?” Xiao Yeyu pouted.

Mrs. Xiao cupped her daughter’s face and said, “My little princess, for this tea party, I spent 800,000 yuan to buy you this dress. The other expenses all add up to more than a million yuan. You should cherish this opportunity.”

Two million yuan was not a huge sum of money for the Xiaos.

But they had just signed a loss-making business contract with the Lu family, which put them in a tight financial situation.

They could only spend more wisely.

Xiao Yeyu also understood her mother’s sacrifices for her.

She dispelled the anger in her heart and said, “Mom, when 1 successfully hang onto Lu Zhi’s coattails, I’ll definitely repay you a thousand times over.”

“Hm, 1’11 look forward to it.” Mrs. Xiao nodded.

“I’ll go back to the party now.”

“Go ahead.”

After watching her daughter leave, Mrs. Xiao called her son and asked him to come see her.

Xiao Nanchen was very smart. He guessed that his sister must have tattletaled on him to their mother.

How could he obediently admit his mistake?

He refused to see her no matter what, saying that he was busy entertaining guests.

However, even if he didn’t replace her, Mrs. Xiao had her ways.

Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi sat waiting quite a while but Xiao Yeyu still hadn’t returned. She asked Ye Xiaoxi quietly, “Do you want to stay here longer?”

Ye Xiaoxi shook her head and looked around, only to realize that Xiao Yeyu was not around.

She replied softly, “No. I’m not comfortable at such high-class functions.”

No one paid any attention to her, and no one said hi to her.

Her every move was incompatible with the Xiao residence.

She didn’t know what else she could do other than eat.

If it weren’t because she didn’t want Yeyu to feel bad, she would have left long ago.

Jiang Yining also found the party boring.

Since Ye Xiaoxi didn’t want to stay anymore, there was no need for her to waste more time here.

“Then let’s go.”

“Alright!” Ye Xiaoxi nodded.

Jiang Yining turned her head and looked at Lu Zhi.

He also stood up.

Just as the three of them were about to leave, they suddenly heard a loud slap.

Everyone looked over and saw Mrs. Xiao raise her hand again.

The person she slapped was none other than Xiao Nanchen.

All the guests in the banquet hall were stunned..
