“Let’s put it this way. If you have a scandal outside and your friend finds out and he brings your wife to look for you immediately. What would you think? That’s your friend. Shouldn’t your friend help you hide it and protect your privacy?”

“In the same way, Ye Zhenzhen knew that Lin Wanli went out to drink and did not come back for the whole night. She brought Lin Wanli’s fiancé to look for her. Do you really believe that she was worried?”

“On the surface, they are very close to each other, but in fact, she’s thinking about her family assets and man.”

…

Seeing that the guests’ words were getting more and more unpleasant, Old Madam Lin made a prompt decision and said to Huo Jiuxiao, “I believe in Zhenzhen. She is a filial and kind girl. If Mr. Huo spread rumors without evidence, it would ruin a girl’s innocence.”

Huo Jiuxiao was too lazy to argue and continued, “The matters of your Lin Family have nothing to do with me. However, her intrusion that morning made me unable to make it in time for the 90 million cooperation. If the Lin Family can’t show their sincerity in apologizing…”

“Then may I ask Mr. Huo, why did you only come to settle the score after two years?”

“There’s a sequence for everything. Your Lin Family is ranked behind. Do you need me to arrange a VIP for you?”

Everyone knew that Huo Jiuxiao was arrogant, but they did not expect him to be so arrogant.

The Old Madam was so angry that she felt uncomfortable. In the end, she could only say weakly, “Jiuxiao, do me a favor. Your Grandma and I were like sisters back then.”

Ye Zhenzhen actually used the favor of a senior to exchange for it.

“Sure, but Miss Ye, take care.”

After saying that, Huo Jiuxiao turned around. This banquet hall was really too noisy. One second longer would shorten his life by ten years.

What did he mean?

This was a warning!

Ye Zhenzhen and her mother had been enjoying the glory of the Lin Family for a long time, but now, they were being warned by Huo Jiuxiao. This meant that Ye Zhenzhen would not have a good ending if she were to face Huo Jiuxiao in the future. In Jinchuan, if one offended Huo Jiuxiao, would anyone still be willing to be his or her friend?

At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen’s body was like a fallen leaf. She had lost all her strength.

Everything was supposed to be going smoothly, and the spotlight was supposed to be on her and her mother. However, Lin Wanli messed up the situation, and Huo Jiuxiao added oil to the fire.

“Go to the lounge and calm down for a while.” Mother Ye saw Ye Zhenzhen’s dejected look and quickly reminded her. She had not finished her work yet. What was there to be dejected about?

Besides, if Lin Wanli and the Old Madam completely fell out, it would be beneficial to them. She did not believe that Lin Wanli could grow powerful in just two years!

The birthday banquet had been full of ups and downs, and there was a high chance that the Old Madam would not be able to be happy. Therefore, she arranged for the guests to sit down for the banquet while she asked Mother Ye to help her back to the lounge.

“It’s all because of your good daughter!” Father Lin was still angry at Mother Lin. “Zhenzhen’s reputation and the Lin Family’s reputation have been completely ruined by her.”

Mother Lin sobbed with bloodshot eyes.

Because tonight, she did not feel any love from her husband. He had been angry, complaining, and venting.

…

In the lounge, the Old Madam sat quietly for a few minutes before getting Mother Ye to take out her phone and call the Chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to see if Lin Wanli had to be the Executive Vice-Chairman.

“There are so many talents. Must we take this risk? I can recommend more outstanding young people.”

“Old Madam, you should know that our Chamber of Commerce has always valued talents. Lin Wanli has made outstanding military achievements in France and is indeed very outstanding. If you harm the interests of the entire Chamber of Commerce because of your personal grudge, isn’t that… not worth it?” The Chairman was a shrewd person as if he was certain that the old lady would call. He was naturally prepared to deal with her.

“I’m just afraid that Lin Wanli will cheat!”
