Guan Ju frowned and glanced at Bai Wen.

It was not the first time they had met, so why did she have to act like they had never met before. Her hypocrisy disgusted Guan Ju.

Luo Han, who was beside her, spoke up first.

“My wife, Guan Ju.”

When the corporation’s shareholders heard that she was Mrs. Luo, they quickly went forward to greet her warmly.

“CEO Luo really hid it well. We didn’t hear anything about her before.” They had flattering smiles on their faces as they surrounded the two of them and pushed Bai Wen aside.

“Mrs. Luo is really beautiful. CEO Luo is so lucky.”

Seeing them praise Guan Ju, Bai Wen felt angry and incensed. She turned around and looked at Li Lian pitifully. Li Lian snorted coldly and interrupted everyone’s greetings.

“Since she’s the daughter-in-law of my Luo family, why haven’t I seen her before?”

Guan Ju held his forehead and sighed.

Here was another one who was lying with a straight face.

Luo Han’s face darkened and he looked at Li Lian coldly.

“I didn’t bring her to see you, but it’s not too late for you to see her now. She’s my wife and also the lady of my Luo family.”

His last sentence almost made Li Lian vomit blood.

Lady?

Then what was she?

The shareholders of the company quickly noticed the tension between the four of them, so they all shut their mouths.

Luo Han glanced at Bai Wen, and then at Li Lian, after which he instantly understood what was going on.

What sort of meal invitation was this? It was nothing more than an excuse to let Bai Wen step on Guan Ju to get to the top.

What a joke!

“Ju’er, let’s go. We won’t eat here.”

He was about to leave with her when Guan Ju firmly pinned her feet to the ground and held his arm.

She was very strong, so he did not pull her along. He turned his head in surprise.

“What’s wrong?”

“There’s no need to leave, Han. Don’t worry about me.”

Guan Ju could also see that Li Lian and Bai Wen did not have any good intentions, so she reassured him softly.

Did they think that she was afraid of them?

Whatever tricks they had, she would take them head-on!

Luo Han’s brows furrowed and he frowned as he stared at her with a heavy gaze.

“I don’t want you to suffer because of me.”

Had it been someone else, he could have ignored the consequences and directly punished the person. He could have just waved his hand and had someone take the culprit away.

However, it just so happened that the person who organized this dinner was Li Lian, his mother.

Bringing Guan Ju away was the biggest concession he could make.

“Don’t worry.” How could Guan Ju not know that he was in a difficult position? She stood on her tiptoes and whispered in his ear, “Who am I? It’s impossible for me to be bullied by them. I’ll protect you, don’t be afraid.”

Luo Han felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

She said that she would protect him and not let him be bullied too.

He was clearly the one who did not protect her well and allowed her to be threatened like this.

However, it felt good to have her by his side.

The corners of Luo Han’s lips curled up slightly, and the emerging smile on his face was akin to a thawing glacier.

Bai Wen saw this and a strong sense of jealousy enveloped her.

This vixen dared to whisper in Luo Han’s ear in front of everyone. She should have kept her seductive actions private!

She could not hold it in any longer and took two steps forward, interrupting the intimate scene between the two lovers.

“So it’s Mrs. Luo. I wonder what Mrs. Luo does for a living? How did you get to know Han?”

Li Lian also stared coldly at Guan Ju. “Yes, who’s your father? Does he work with the Luo family?”

The two of them kept asking questions like they were trying to dig up Guan Ju’s family background.

After all, Guan Sheng was not qualified to be on this stage!

Guan Ju stopped smiling and stood still. She crossed her arms and looked at them mockingly.

“My occupation is Mrs. Luo.”

These simple words made Li Lian and Bai Wen almost lose their composure.

“What did you say?”

Seeing that they had not heard her clearly, Guan Ju pulled Luo Han close to her arrogantly.

“I said that my occupation is Mrs. Luo.”
