The interlude at the banquet did not disturb the overall atmosphere. Assistant Zheng made a move in time, and not many people saw who had started the dispute.

However, when the Bai family saw Ye Lingxiao holding another woman’s hand, they hesitated.

“And this is?”

“Lingxiao’s wife,” Ye Lan answered casually.

The members of the Bai family widened their eyes and their gazes turned sharp.

After the storm, although the Bai family was not as miserable as the Lin family, they were still affected by the previous turmoil.

If they could gain connections to the Ye family through marriage, how much would they get?

Ye Lan took a sip of her red wine.

Which one of the people at the banquet was easy to deal with?

The wine glass shattered at Lin Wanmeng’s feet. The one who looked apologetic was Bai Yamo’s cousin, Bai Muwei.

She twisted the dress helplessly and hurriedly wiped the wine on Lin Wanmeng’s clothes. Unfortunately, the dress was still ruined.

Lin Wanmeng didn’t blame her. She went to the washroom and bumped into a woman with red eyes.

Looking at her pitiful face, Lin Wanmeng turned around and saw that she was holding a bowl.

As soon as she stepped out of the door frame, she aggressively splashed water on the faces of the two women standing in the corner, covering their mouths and laughing.

“Ah!”

A scream sounded, but it was the overlapping of their screams.

“Xu Qingran, are you crazy?!”

The woman in the red dress glanced at them disdainfully. “I’m just returning the bowl of water to you!”

The two women were stubborn. They muttered softly at the side, “You were the one who was fooling around. You killed someone, but you didn’t let others say anything.”

Xu Qingran’s eyes widened. She lifted her skirt and was about to step forward, scaring the two women so much that they turned around and ran. She slammed the bowl down and clapped her hands smugly.

Wanmeng was stunned for too long, so long that Xu Qingran noticed it and thought that someone was watching the commotion.

Her gaze was sharp. Just as she was about to glare at her, she was stunned.

Lin Wanmeng subconsciously took a step back when she was swept by that gaze. She saw that the person’s eyes were fixed on her clothes, and the expression on his face gradually turned from suspicion to ecstasy.

“Is that you? Is that you?” Lin Wanmeng was stunned when she heard the familiar tone.

She looked at the cold woman in front of her in disbelief.

“You’re Soft Sponge In the Deep Sea?” her tone was filled with doubt.

The other party was not shy at all. She patted her chest. “It’s me. I didn’t expect you to come here.”

Lin Wanmeng was stunned. Her long hair swept around her collarbone, revealing a bite mark.

Xu Qingran’s eyes were sharp. She immediately asked, “Who did it?”

She immediately guessed. “It’s that bastard, right?!”

Xu Qingran rolled up her sleeves neatly, grabbed Lin Wanmeng’s collar, and brought her to look for Ye Lingxiao.

Lin Wanmeng barely managed to stop her.

The person in front of her had a cute tone on the Internet, but in reality, she was cold and a boor.

“You might have misunderstood. It’s not that…”

Bai Yamo had a lot on her mind. When she walked over, she saw Bai Muwei comforting a woman whose makeup was smudged.

“That Xu Qingran had a good time and even killed someone. I’m not surprised that she hit me. She’s just bullying me because of her family background.”

Bai Yamo didn’t know this person and was curious to hear such gossip.

Just as she was about to leave, Bai Muwei grabbed her sleeve and pointed at the crying woman. “Cousin, I’m alone…”

With a troubled expression, she grabbed Bai Yamo’s sleeve tightly and refused to let go.

After all, they were family. Bai Yamo frowned and stopped in her tracks.

On the other side of the banquet, Ye Lingxiao frowned as he searched for Lin Wanmeng.

The moment he realized that Lin Wanmeng had disappeared, he first looked in He Yan’s direction. He saw her holding a glass of wine and chatting happily in the crowd. There was no female companion beside him.

He wanted to look for her personally, but the Bai family surrounded him.

However, what he admired was that Old Master Bai could actually resist Ye Lingxiao’s indifference and continue to chat with him. His words were filled with the intention of testing the marriage.

Ye Lingxiao raised his eyebrows. He didn’t believe that this was Bai Yamo’s idea.

His words left no room for negotiation. Old Master Bai’s expression turned ugly again and again, but he had no choice but to continue.

However, the person he was talking to had already left. Ye Lingxiao glanced behind Old Master Bai, waiting for a figure to appear.

“So, what exactly is going on?”

Xu Qingran was an energetic person. Seeing that Lin Wanmeng was struggling to explain herself, she simply pulled her aside and analyzed carefully.

“Did that man treat you well or not?”

When Lin Wanmeng heard this, she hesitated even more. “He was quite nice at first, but these days…”

She suddenly choked. In fact, Ye Lingxiao had never explicitly mentioned his relationship with the supporting actress. Instead, he had admitted her identity as Mrs. Ye many times.

If she hadn’t seen the diary, her current thoughts would have changed drastically.

Xu Qingran was also a novice in love. She scratched her head and hesitated. “Why don’t you take a look again? After all, you’re already married. Don’t have any misunderstandings.”

“People change. Maybe they changed after making some mistakes.”

This was the first time Xu Qingran and Lin Wanmeng met, but they were already as intimate as sisters.

She pulled Lin Wanmeng up and encouraged her earnestly, “If you really don’t know, just ask. It’s fine as long as you can talk it out.”

Outside the dressing room.

After finally sending the woman away, before Bai Yamo could catch her breath, Bai Muwei’s figure appeared beside her like a ghost. She pursed her lips.

“Cousin, can you introduce Zhou Zeyan to me after you get married?”

These words confused Bai Yamo. “What are you talking about?”

Bai Muwei gritted her teeth. “What I mean is, if you marry Ye Lingxiao in the future, can you match me with Zhou Zeyan?”

Bai Yamo was stunned for a moment. Her face turned pale and she rushed out.

When Bai Yamo appeared in the banquet hall, Father Bai had just walked away from Ye Lingxiao. When he saw Bai Yamo’s stunned face, he revealed a rare trace of embarrassment.

After all, he had not told Bai Yamo about this.

“Lingxiao, I’m sorry. I don’t know what they’re planning.” Ye Lingxiao was cold and shrewd. The Bai family’s actions were a little full of themselves.

“I know the Bai family’s relationship with you. Don’t worry.” Ye Lingxiao comforted the flustered Bai Yamo in a soft voice. At this moment, someone happened to come to propose a toast. When he saw Bai Yamo, he also handed her a glass of wine.

Bai Yamo subconsciously moved the wine glass to her lips, but Ye Lingxiao stopped her.

“You forget, you can’t drink red wine.”

Bai Yamo was stunned. When she came back to her senses, Ye Lingxiao had already taken a sip of wine to show his respect.

She had been allergic to red wine since she was young. Once she drank it, she would have rashes all over her body and feel hot.

This time, she didn’t notice it. She smiled gratefully at Ye Lingxiao.

However, neither of them noticed that Xu Qingran, who was in the corner, widened her eyes and grabbed Lin Wanmeng’s hand even harder.

However, Lin Wanmeng didn’t seem to feel any pain. She stared blankly at the overlapping figures of the two of them and the smile on Ye Lingxiao’s face.
