Just then, there was a flurry of noise from the banquet hall. It seemed like something had happened.

The three of them exchanged looks and quickly ran over to take a look.

“How shameless. She was the eldest daughter of the Xie family back then. I didn’t expect her to be from the Yu family this time.”

“Shh, it’s better to be quieter. The Yu Family’s Old Master is very protective of his loved ones.”

“I saw the Zhou family enter too.”

“—”

Xie Nian was stunned when she heard them talking about the Zhou family. Did something happen to Mother Zhou? Or was it Zhou Zheng?

A warm hand held hers and Xie Nian felt the strength from that hand. She looked over and saw that it was Ruan Mu, the licentious president who had been in the bathroom just now. Just as Xie Nian was about to speak, she saw Ruan Mu point towards the side.

Xie Nian followed him in puzzlement. Under Ruan Mu’s lead, the two of them weaved around and arrived at a room. It seemed to be a hotel here. Thinking of everything that Ruan Mu did just now, Xie Nian couldn’t help but think too much.

“President Ruan, this is—”

Ruan Mu suddenly went forward and covered Xie Nian’s mouth. His profound eyes stared intently at her, as if he wanted to suck her in.

“Ms. Yu is really capable. If not for what happened today, I would have really thought that the Yu family is just a family that abides by their rules.”

“What do you mean by that, Mrs. Zhou? Why don’t you say that your child was the one that forced my daughter?”

“Forced? I, Zhou Ran, am not stupid. I didn’t say anything about the tricks you people are up to because I don’t take it seriously. At the same time, as a woman, how can I not understand your thoughts?”

It was Mother Zhou’s voice. Xie Nian looked at Ruan Mu in surprise. This person actually knew about this place. He must have done a lot of these sneaky things usually.

Ruan Mu could tell that Xie Nian had misunderstood him, but he didn’t explain. He felt like his mind was exploding. Xie Nian’s mouth was really soft just now. When it touched his palm, it felt ticklish. His wide palm clenched behind his back. There was still a little moisture left on it.

It should be filled with Xie Nian’s smell. Suddenly, Ruan Mu frowned deeply. Since when was he so sick? He actually did such an intimate action to a woman he had only seen three times, and didn’t find it annoying.

Has he fallen for her?

That was impossible. This woman was the mother of two children and she was also the most licentious eldest daughter of the Xie family in the past. If Mrs. Ruan found out, she would definitely break his legs.

Xie Nian did not know what Ruan Mu was thinking. As she listened seriously to the voice that was only a wall away, it seemed like they were in deep waters.

“Mrs. Zhou, you’re trying to project your shortcomings on my daughter. No matter how my daughter is, she’s still a treasure in our hands. Just these words from Mrs. Zhou have made my daughter seem worthless. Yet, the one who’s suffering is my daughter.”

“Haha, do you think I, who comes from the Zhou family of the capital city, don’t have any skills at all? You have to know that the Jiang Capital is not comparable to the capital city. Why do you think that Wanning hasn’t taken any action on that b*tch Xia Chu for so long? She doesn’t take that woman seriously either.”

The person opposite her seemed speechless, perhaps because she was stunned by Mother Zhou.

“Then what does Madam Zhou think, is there any possible solution?”

“We’ll pretend that this never happened. If Ms. Yu really has Zhou Zheng’s child, abort it. Our Zhou family won’t accept it.”

“How can you be so cruel? Everyone is here today. Everyone knows about what happened to my daughter. If the Zhou family is not going to take responsibility, we, the Yu family, are also not to be trifled with.”

Xie Nian frowned deeply. Based on Zhou Zheng’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t do such things to Yu Yaoyao. The three of them had grown up together because they were of the same age. If Zhou Zheng was interested in Yu Yaoyao.

He would have taken action long ago and would not even care about the marriage between the Zhou and Xie families.

Then what exactly was going on?

“That woman is lying. Young Master Zhou didn’t touch her.”

Xie Nian abruptly turned around to look at Ruan Mu, who was standing behind her, and asked softly, “How did you know? Were you in this room just now?”

Ruan Mu nodded.

“Then go and tell them the truth.”

“I can’t.”

“Why not? The truth should be known by everyone.”

“Ms. Xie, the Yu Family definitely wants to build a relationship with the Zhou Family. If I go up and tell them the truth, I will suffer the Yu Family’s revenge. The Yu Family is going to drop out of the third-upper class in Jiang Capital anyway. They won’t be afraid of dragging me down with them. Turquoise Mall doesn’t have the ability to deal with this yet.”

“Don’t you have the Ruan Corporation backing you up? Why would you be afraid of the Yu Family?”

Ruan Mu gently kneaded Xie Nian’s hair and said softly, “I’m already an adult. Don’t you think it’s shameful to depend on my parents after reaching adulthood?”

Shame your ass.

Xie Nian swatted Ruan Mu’s hand away ferociously, which made a loud noise.

“Who’s over there?”
