Ye Yan Xi continuously struggled in Xiao Yu's hands, trying to break free from his imprisonment. In the end, she was still dragged out of the room. When Xiao Yu stopped, she also released her hand.

Ye Yanxi didn't forget to resist. She thought that Xiao Yu had suddenly thought it through and wouldn't force her down. However, when she raised her head, she met several gazes from the living room. It was as if she was standing under a spotlight.

In an instant, Ye Yan Xi wished she could find a hole to hide in.

Why did she suddenly come to the living room? If Xiao Yu had dragged her here without a word, then they must have seen the scene of her resisting, unwilling to give up even if she died, right?

This was simply too embarrassing!

At this moment, Ye Yan Xi's face was full of embarrassment. On the other hand, Xiao Yu was calmly walking towards the living room.

After walking a few steps, she discovered that Ye Yan Xi wasn't following them, so Xiao Yu stopped on the spot, "What's wrong?" Why aren't you coming over? "

"Total... CEO, that... I don't need to go. " Facing so many curious gazes, Ye Yan Xi's heart was unsettled. She immediately wanted to escape upstairs, "I think it's better if I go to work. Dinner is …"

"Do you think all the servants are very idle and want to send it up to you alone?" Xiao Yu's voice was calm and forceful, as if he couldn't resist at all.

"…" Ye Yanxi was also speechless. Was she really an employee?

With so many people watching, if she was to drag things out any longer, there would be even more people who would not be able to watch.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Yan Xi lowered her head and followed behind Xiao Yu towards the dining room.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Ye Yanxi discovered that many people had already taken their seats. There was only one empty seat, and there wasn't even an extra one. It was likely that the people from the Xiao family didn't welcome her either.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yu frowned and scolded the servant beside him: "Why only leave one spot?"

The voice was sharp and interrogative. Soon, the restaurant became silent and everyone looked over. The two children from Xiao Zhen and Qu's families shrank into their mother's arms.

The servant looked at her with embarrassment.

Huo Lin winked at her. The servant quickly understood and explained, "Young Master, it's all because of my bad memory. I forgot about Miss Ye. I thought she left after work so I didn't make any preparations."

Xiao Yu coldly snorted, "Oh? Before determining whether the guest would leave, the servant of the Xiao family deliberately chose not to prepare the guest's position. When had the servant of the Xiao family become so arrogant? From now on, you can pack your things and leave. "

This servant had also been at the Xiao residence for many years, but since she was a trusted aide, the servant immediately knelt down with tears and snot streaming down his face when he knew that she had caused trouble.

"Young master, I know I was wrong, I beg of you …" Don't chase me away. " The maid wiped away her tears as she looked at Xiao Yu's frightened face.

However, Xiao Yu only had a cold expression on his face. The atmosphere around him was extremely oppressive, and the ice-cold aura around him made it so that no one dared to rashly approach him.

"If you make a mistake once, you definitely won't use it twice. This is my, Xiao Yu's, principle."

Huo Lin's face turned ugly.

In fact, making the servant not arrange Ye Yan Xi's place was entirely her idea. In the beginning, she didn't want Ye Yan Xi to join the family banquet, and after several interactions, she felt that even though Ye Yan Xi had a delicate appearance, he actually wasn't simple at all. He wished he could let Xiao Yu have less contact with her.

Like this, she openly wanted to make Ye Yan Xi retreat.

No matter what, she was still just an ordinary employee of the Xiao Group. Xiao Yu shouldn't care too much about her affairs.

But now, Xiao Yu was the opposite, venting his anger on the servants.

"Little Yu, Hong Yan didn't do it on purpose." Hong Yan has worked at the Xiao family for so many years, she was cautious and meticulous, how could she let such a capable assistant leave. "This is only a small misunderstanding, isn't it just a small one? I'll get someone to add another set of cutlery, and the seats will be ready. "

Since Xiao Yu had already said this, it wasn't appropriate for him to chase Ye Yanxi away. Thus, he could only allow her to stay.

"However, I, Xiao Yu, will never let a smart person stay by my side. I don't even have the mood to eat, let's not eat!" With a cold tone, Xiao Yu decisively left.

"Little Yu!" Huo Lin was also furious. Unable to hold back her anger, she slammed the table and asked, "What happened to you today?" It's one thing to bring an outsider back to attend a family banquet, but right now, for an outsider's sake, you're actually venting your anger on a servant. "

Xiao Yu turned around and stared at Huo Lin expressionlessly, "Mom insisted on protecting this underling?" At that time, who was the one who repeatedly told me to come back and attend this hypocritical feast? "

Huo Lin was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She angrily looked at Xiao Yu, but upon seeing Xiao Yu's cold expression, she refused to back down. After staring at him for a few seconds, Huo Lin's raging anger turned into a sigh.

Huo Lin knew very well whether he was her own son or not.

If they continued to fight like this, it would only make Xiao Yu feel even more disgusted with them. If that happened, then her plan for today would be ruined.

Looking at the crying servants on the floor, Huo Lin steeled her heart.

"Hongyan, you've been in the Xiao family for so many years. I'll settle your monthly salary and give you an extra month's salary as compensation. Alright, you can leave now."

Hong Yan initially thought that Madam would plead for her life, but who knew that Huo Lin would be so determined to chase her away? She stared at Huo Lin in disbelief.

"Madam …" Are you really going to chase me away? "

Huo Lin could not bear it any longer and turned her head to the side, but she had already made up her mind.

"Let's go. We'll leave after receiving our salary from the general director."

Seeing that Huo Lin had made up her mind, Hongyan knew that there was no hope. She could only get up from the ground and leave while wailing.

Ye Yanxi, who was watching this scene from the sidelines, felt a wave of self-blame.

The reason for this matter was also because of her.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but discovered that Xiao Yu's cold gaze was directed at her, forcing her to swallow the words she was about to say on behalf of the servant.

After Hong Yan had left, Huo Lin looked back at Xiao Yu and said, "Are you satisfied now?" Then, she angrily instructed the servant behind him, "Why aren't you adding another chair?"

The rest of the servants immediately went to add their bowls and chopsticks, while Xiao Yu ordered them to be placed on the right side of his seat. Originally, Su Mei sat on his right side and Huo Lin sat on his left.

Xiao Yu walked over and took a seat. Ye Yan Xi was still hesitating, when she heard Xiao Yu's cold voice, "Why aren't you coming over!"

Thus, Ye Yanxi could only sit down in embarrassment. She felt as if the gazes in her surroundings were stabbing into her body, making her feel uncomfortable.

Especially Su Mei, who was beside him. Her eyes were almost popping out of their sockets. Huo Lin's eyes were spitting fire. Ye Yan Xi felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

Not to mention her, she also had a thin face. Being stared at like this made her too ashamed to continue staying here.

The other people on the table had different expressions on their faces.

Old Master Xiao pretended that he didn't see her, while Xiao Zhenwei continued to whisper beside Huo Lin, comforting her and patting her hand. Meanwhile, Xiao Qingli was smiling as he swept his gaze across Xiao Yu and Ye Yanxia's faces. Jin Yan's expression was cold as he ignored them.

Xiao said that Xiao Zhenju, who had inherited the Xiao grandfather's uniform and entered the army, had unfortunately met with an accident during the training and had no choice but to retire.

After that, Xiao Zhenqi Qu went to a branch of the Xiao Group to help Xiao Zhenwei manage the group's affairs.

Because Xiao Zhenwei was founded by the Xiao Group, the group's business is even more prosperous and has an unlimited future. This made Xiao Zhenwei's wife envious.

Sometimes, she even suspected that the reason Xiao Zhenwei was able to establish the Xiao Group back then was because the old man helped him and gave him a large amount of funds.

However, his husband, Xiao Zhenju, did not help his family even once after the accident and Old Master Xiao gave him a compensation.

How could she keep her balance?

Thus, Chen Yuanyuan and Huo Lin usually did not talk much, and always fought with each other.

"Eldest sister-in-law, I say it's only a servant. If he's fired, then so be it. Why are you holding on to him and making everyone unhappy? Seriously …" Chen Yuanyuan ridiculed, "That servant was indeed insensible. He should do his job well, why aren't he willing to prepare a seat for this Miss Ye?"

The anger that Huo Lin had originally been calming down was ignited again. "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?"

Chen Yuanyuan laughed, "Nothing, I'm just curious, that's all. Since there's a new guest at home, aren't we all prepared to entertain him?" Even if Master had forgotten to remind the servants, they would have come to inform you. "

"Didn't Hongyan just say that she forgot?"

"Oh? Had she really forgotten? Or was it something that was specifically done with the permission of the owner? " Chen Yuanyuan asked stubbornly.

This Chen Yuanyuan was obviously trying to sow discord.

Before Huo Lin could retort, Xiao Yu interrupted his with a cold voice, "Second sister, as far as I know, the jewelry shop under your name doesn't seem to be doing well these days and has been losing a lot of money. But second sister has been living quite carefree these past few months.
