Upon hearing Jin Yan's words, Su Mei couldn't help but smile.
"Miss Jin is indeed a few years older than me, it's only natural that she would be more sensible than me. Moreover, once this woman reaches the age of 30, she will think more. It seems that I still have a few more years left."
The other members of the Xiao family were communicating with each other, so no one noticed the movements of the undercurrents.
Jin Yan's face reddened in embarrassment.
From the moment she entered the door, she knew that Su Mei was definitely not a weak person. She was being sarcastic with every word she said, meaning that she was an old woman?
Jin Yan gritted her teeth as she reminded him. "I haven't passed my twenty-ninth birthday yet. It's not even thirty yet."
"Ah, then I'm sorry. Perhaps I remembered wrongly." Su Mei's face was filled with surprise, then she said in an unfriendly tone, "Anyway, I'm only one year away."
For some reason, Jin Yan could feel Su Mei's hostility towards her, starting from the very first moment.
As Su Mei was thinking about when she had offended Xiao Yan, she said, "Oh yeah, I heard that Miss Jin was engaged to Brother Xiao before, and then Miss Jin unilaterally cancelled it, right?"
"That's right!"
"Oh …" Su Mei laughed and said with an innocent expression, "It seems like Miss Jin is right to cancel the engagement. I feel that … You and Big Brother Xiao are not very suitable. "
Jin Yan frowned, and her face darkened. "I'm sure Miss Su is confident she'll be able to catch Yu's eye today?"
"Oh? Furthermore, my family can be considered to be a high position official, and a high position family. Furthermore, I am also young and beautiful, so at the very least, I should be more suitable for Big Brother Xiao than someone like Miss Jin, who comes from a normal family background, right? "
These words completely exposed Su Mei's arrogant nature and overconfidence.
Seeing how determined Su Mei was to win, Jin Yan couldn't bear to insult her. A faint smile played about her lips. "Is that so?" "Then I'll wish Miss Su in advance. I'll definitely be able to accomplish what I want to do."
The latter half of Jin Yan's words contained a hint of mockery, but Su Mei's face was full of enjoyment. "Then I'll be counting on your blessings. I'll definitely succeed!"
Jin Yan looked at her coldly. Really? Maybe she hadn't really experienced what failure was.
As everyone was talking and laughing, Xiao Yu arrived outside.
Ye Yan Xi, who was sleeping soundly in the car, felt the car stop moving. Her eyelashes trembled as she woke up and looked out the window in a daze.
Perhaps it was because he had too much work to do today, so he was busy all afternoon. As soon as he got on the car, he felt sleepy and fell asleep.
Thinking that the car had arrived at Qingyu Bay, Ye Yan Xi was looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze. Suddenly, she quivered. This isn't right, why haven't I come here before? Ye Yan Xi pulled down the window in an attempt to get a better look.
After carefully observing for a few seconds, Ye Yan Xi was finally certain that this was not the Green Jade Bay.
He looked to the side and saw that Xiao Yu had already opened the car door and was about to get out.
"Wait …" What is this place? Shall we not go back? " While she was sleeping, she heard Xiao Yu tell Xu Bei that he was going home. Why did he suddenly open his eyes and come here?
Ye Yan Xi looked at the mansion outside of the car with a dumbstruck expression. He didn't understand what Xiao Yu meant.
While he was hesitating, he heard Xiao Yu command in a low voice, "Get out of the car!"
Helpless, Ye Yan Xi could only open the door and follow Xiao Yu out. Just as she got off the car, she heard Xiao Yu tell Xu Bei to leave first. When he came to pick up the phone, he would call him.
Ye Yanxi, who was still half asleep, still didn't understand the situation.
"Why did you let Xu Bei go?" "What is this place?" Ye Yan Xi looked around.
Xiao Yu didn't answer her question. He decisively grabbed her slender waist and walked in the direction of the villa.
"Just follow me!"
What do you mean just follow you?
Ye Yan and Xi Xi were grumbling when they saw Xiao Yu coming over. The two guards quickly came over and respectfully said, "Young Master is back."
This can't be...
While she was thinking, Ye Yan heard a high-pitched voice filled with joy, "Little Yu, you're really slow. I've been waiting for you."
It was Huo Lin.
She wanted to turn around and run away, but Xiao Yu seemed to have already expected this reaction from her. Her hand was tightly wrapped around her waist, making it difficult for her to even turn around.
"This is …" The moment she saw Ye Yan Xi, the joy on her face disappeared. She frowned in displeasure, "Why are you here?"
"She works for my company." Xiao Yu explained on the side.
"It's a banquet for our Xiao family. Why did you bring an outsider here?" Huo Lin's face turned ugly as she scolded, "There's still one …" Hour work? "
"I forgot to say, she's a translator from our company." Xiao Yu coldly said, "I still have some matters to attend to. This year can be considered my first year here."
"What?" You want to leave before you even enter the door? "
Xiao Yu glanced at Ye Yan Xi, "This staff member is working overtime with me. She has to complete an important contract, and she has to leave today. If Mom wants her to leave, then I can't stay here any longer."
Although Huo Lin didn't welcome Ye Yan Xi, Xiao Yu had already said so. If she chased Ye Yan Xi away, then Xiao Yu would definitely leave as well.
"So be it. It's just a matter of having a pair of chopsticks." Huo Lin glared at Ye Yan Xi, then turned his head to comfort Xiao Yu, "I've asked your employee to stay. You don't have to leave, right?"
Xiao Yu's face was still as indifferent as before. He only said to Ye Yanxi, "Let's go in."
He was in a panic and didn't dare to look up at Huo Lin. He could only reply, "Alright."
Xiao Yu walked in front in large strides, so she could only brace herself and enter.
In fact, she didn't want to go in at all. Ye Yanxi cursed in her heart.
What does that mean? Why did Xiao Yu bring her to a family banquet for no reason? This was too embarrassing. She didn't want to leave at all times, but where could she hide now? It was very quiet in this villa. There didn't seem to be any sound of cars passing by. Even if they went out, they wouldn't be able to get a taxi. Thinking of this, Ye Yan Xi could only follow Xiao Yu inside.
There should be a lot of people in the Xiao family. She could only pray that no one would notice her.
As she followed Xiao Yu inside, Ye Yanxi only felt as if she were rushing towards a blue river that had fallen from the sky; she felt as if she were being tortured.
Just as he arrived at the entrance of the guest hall, he saw that the Xiao family was indeed very wealthy and the population was large. The guest hall was already filled to the brim with people, and the person sitting in the middle was the Xiao family's old patriarch.
The Xiao family's old patriarch also had a face full of joy.
Jin Yan was sitting on a wheelchair. Seeing that someone else had entered the living room, she subconsciously turned her head. Sure enough, it was Xiao Yu. And the person following behind her was, of course, Ye Yan and Xi Xi.
The corner of her mouth curled up as a glint of light flashed in her eyes.
Sure enough, Xiao Yu still brought Ye Yan Xi over. Now there was going to be a good show to watch.
At this time, Su Mei also saw Xiao Yu walk in and stood up from the crowd. Her eyes flashed with joy as she walked towards Xiao Yu.
"Hello Big Brother Xiao, I'm Su Mei. We met two years ago. I wonder if Big Brother Xiao still remembers?"
While she was deep in thought, she felt someone stand in front of Xiao Yu, blocking her. She raised her head and saw that it was a beautiful woman with delicate makeup. Her voice was soft and pleasant to listen to.
Su Mei was not surnamed Xiao.
This meant that this woman was not from the Xiao family. It seemed that a girl with another surname had appeared at the Xiao family's banquet. It was hard to not wonder why she had appeared here.
In an instant, Ye Yanxi's heart sank.
For such a beautiful girl to appear at the banquet of the Xiao family, his family background shouldn't be too bad. He should be a good match for Xiao Yu and his men … It should be hard to refuse, right?
Xiao Yu's mood had just become complicated when he heard Xiao Yu say these three words in a cold tone, "I don't remember."
She was surprised for a moment. She didn't think that Xiao Yu wouldn't give his face in front of so many people.
When Su Mei saw Xiao Yu act so coldly and decisively, the smile on his face stiffened and he felt a bit awkward.
Only after that did he recover his smile. He pretended to be generous and said, "It's alright. Just remember this in the future, Brother Xiao."
"Not interested!" Xiao Yu's gaze completely ignored Su Mei, who was standing in front of him. He turned around and said to Ye Yan Xi, "There are still things that you haven't done yet. Today you must wait until we get out. Come upstairs with me."
Ye Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, then obediently nodded her head and replied.
Just as she was about to follow Xiao Yu upstairs, Su Mei raised her eyebrows and looked at Ye Yan Xi. She then reached out her hand to block Ye Yan Xi's path.
"Who are you?" Su Mei looked up and down at Ye Yan Xi, and saw that she was dressed in an unknown outfit, and dressed in a clean and refreshing manner, with a ponytail, but her face was even more exquisite than her makeup. She was a type of natural beauty, and there weren't any sculptures on her body that could make people sigh in admiration.
Su Mei felt that something was wrong. She always had an intuition towards beautiful women. Moreover, this person might be her future fiance, so the gaze she used to look at Ye Yan Xi with was inexplicably hostile.
Everyone in the living room had noticed Xiao Yu walk in, while Su Mei blocked his path, attracting even more attention. Other than Chu Beize, Old Master Xiao, and Xiao Shuren, almost everyone was curiously sizing up Ye Yanxi.
Old Master Xiao knew about the relationship between Xiao Yu and Ye Yan Xi. Xiao Shuren also knew. Chu Beize was very happy to see Ye Yan Xi here. Did this mean that they were destined to meet each other wherever they went?
Ye Yan Xi followed Xiao Yu's explanation for Huo Lin and explained, "I'm a translator from the Xiao Group. Today, I have an important contract to settle, so …"
"Translation?" Su Mei's shrill voice suddenly rose. Once again, she found out that Ye Yan Xi's beauty was inferior to hers. Hence, she became jealous, "Is it just a translation?"
"Miss Su!" Xiao Yu coldly spoke, each word carrying a sharp and cold air, "Is this how you are raised?" Do you question other people's employees in other people's homes? "
One sentence made Su Mei give up, and she explained with an embarrassed expression, "No …. "No, I just wanted to …"
Xiao Yu didn't give her a chance to explain as he coldly reprimanded, "What do you want?" What do you want to know? "What do you want to know about the company?"
Su Mei's face turned pale and her tone became flustered, "I … I didn't ask about the company, I just... "
"Since you didn't ask about my company, then you have no right to ask about my employees." Xiao Yu pursed his lips, his eyes filled with a cold and sharp light, "Also, when I, Xiao Yu, am at work, I hate to be disturbed!"
After he finished speaking, Xiao Yu ignored everyone and went upstairs. Ye Yan Xi glanced at Su Mei's expression and then jogged behind Xiao Yu.
Only the silent crowd remained in the living room.
Xiao Zhen, the grandchild and granddaughter of the Qu family, was scared by Xiao Yu's cold aura until they started to cry. They threw themselves into their mother's arms and started to cry, the silence in the living room became especially clear.
"Mom, that uncle is so scary, wuwu …"
Du Yu awkwardly looked at the crowd and then lowered her head to coax her daughter.
Hearing the girl's heart-tearing and lung-splitting crying, Su Mei almost cried as well. She had never seen such a cold man before, he simply did not allow strangers to enter.
Xiao Yu's gaze made her feel fear from the bottom of her heart.
At this time, Huo Lin had also rushed over after hearing the sound. She pulled Su Mei to one side to comfort her.
Before this, Su Mei only knew that Xiao Yu's appearance was outstanding and that he was a legendary figure in a shopping mall. If she married such an outstanding and capable man, she would definitely be very happy.
However, she didn't know that Xiao Yu was so frightening that she subconsciously wanted to run away.
Su Mei felt that if she continued to appear at the banquet, it would only be very embarrassing, so she wanted to leave.
But how could Huo Lin accept that? After comforting her in a soft voice for a long time, she asked Huo Lin to stay back.
In reality, Su Mei didn't really want to leave, but she was still unwilling. Although Xiao Yu was cold and ruthless, a man like him must feel a sense of accomplishment if he was able to subdue him. Moreover, his charm was unstoppable.
Thus, Su Mei comforted herself once again and stayed back.
Of all the men she had met, which one wasn't trying to curry favor with her? However, Xiao Yu's actions had aroused her interest.
Jin Yan, on the other side, watched with cold eyes. This was all within her expectations.
Although Su Mei was intelligent, she still didn't understand Xiao Yu. Anyone who embarrassed Ye Yanxi in front of her would only be hated by her.
To Su Mei, perhaps she had always been proud and arrogant since she was born, and Ye Yanxi had probably already become a thorn in her side.
A woman's jealousy is terrifying. Jin Yan's lips curled up in a sneer, not to mention a young miss like Su Mei.
Looking at Xiao Yu and Ye Yan Xi's expressions just now, perhaps these two still didn't know that Ye Yan Xi was already pregnant.
Watching Su Mei stare at Ye Yanxi's back, her eyes filled with viciousness and jealousy, Jin Yan couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes flashing with viciousness.
