What is it?

In the eyes of Lu Yun and Ye Zhixin, she was indeed nothing.

Ye Wanqing licked his lips, as a brilliant smile blossomed on his face.

"Madam Ye, according to your age, it's not bad that miss ye calls me sister. I didn't say anything, so why are you so excited?"

Most of the people present had never even seen Ye Wanqing before, so they naturally didn't know what relationship she had with the Ye Family. Hearing Ye Wanqing say this, they all became curious, since which family didn't have any romantic affairs?

He just did not expect that Ye Zhensheng's image as a gentle and refined gentleman, would actually be as secretive as the commoners.

Everyone's probing gazes immediately caused Lu Yun's face to turn red. She did not expect Ye Wanqing to be so eloquent, with just a few words, he had managed to turn everyone's attention to her.

However, Lu Yun was not a person who had not seen a lot of things. She quickly calmed down, raised her head and puffed out her chest, and looked at Ye Wanqing haughtily: "This world does not follow the seniority ranking of the people, and not just anyone can get close to them. I'm afraid some people have ill intentions and want to take advantage of them to raise their own worth!"

Ye Wanqing listened to her words a lot, but he did not feel much about it.

In Lu Yun's eyes, no matter what Ye Wanqing did, he was scheming to obtain benefits from the Ye Family.

In the past, Ye Wanqing had never thought of taking anything from the Ye Family, but he couldn't help but be angry at what Lu Yun had said. Now that he thought about the terms of the contract, Ye Wanqing couldn't help but curl his lips.

Taking in a deep breath, Ye Wanqing was just about to answer when Gu Jinyuan pulled her back and retreated. His tall figure walked forward, and almost completely blocked her behind him, and then, Ye Wanqing heard his heavy tone and asked. "I didn't know that my wife would actually need to depend on others to raise her status."

Ye Wanqing couldn't see Gu Jinyuan's expression, but he could hear the arrogance and ridicule in his tone.

He was defending her!

Although this defense was only done to help him achieve what he wanted, Ye Wanqing still felt touched.

It was probably because she had received so little maintenance along the way that she was moved by the slightest bit of warmth.

This was the second time Gu Jinyuan stood up for Ye Wanqing tonight.

Anyone who saw his expression would know that he was angry, because of this realization, the gaze which everyone used to look at Ye Wanqing was once again weighed him up.

This woman was the Mrs. Gu that Gu Jinyuan had personally acknowledged, and she even held a certain amount of weight in his heart. Even if she wasn't the main mother of the Gu family, she still held a considerable position.

Lu Yun had naturally noticed the interaction between Gu Jinyuan and herself just now, but now that she was glared at by Gu Jinyuan, she no longer had that much confidence.

"Jin Yuan, your mother and I just had our afternoon tea two days ago, and she is still worrying about your marriage. It's not that you don't like tonight's female companion, but it's not good for her to use the Mrs. Gu as a fake, and you aren't a child anymore. You have to know your limits when doing things!"

These words came from Lu Yun's mouth, but they were spoken with the same intention: Don't help her lie!

Everyone suddenly understood when they heard this. That's right, what kind of status did the Gu family have in the Li City? After all, he was the number one clan in Li City.

The main clan in power of the First Family was getting married. Even if it wasn't the grand wedding of the century, they should at least have known about it throughout the city. How could they have gotten married without anyone noticing?

Thinking about it, the expression that everyone looked at Ye Wanqing became even more solemn. Someone who could make this man, Gu Jinyuan, lie for her and allow her to have the identity of Mrs. Gu must be a very shrewd person.

Ye Wanqing did not feel awkward at all. He straightened his back and walked out from behind Gu Jinyuan, and with a casual movement, he grabbed Ye Wanqing's arm and nestled beside him, calmly looking at Lu Yun.

"Both Jin Yuan and I don't like to be too flamboyant. If Madam Ye is really suspicious, why don't you send someone to the Civil Affairs Bureau to investigate and see if there is any record of our registered marriage?"

These words were spoken very unyieldingly, causing all doubts to be dispelled.

Lu Yun was not angry, but instead sneered: "A man has to secretly carry on the marriage ceremony, you can see that he doesn't care about you at all."

"Love is like drinking water, cold and self-aware, the whole world knows that he loves me and it has nothing to do with me. Only when I feel his love for me is true love, isn't it?"

When Ye Wanqing said this, he seemed to have inadvertently glanced at Ye Zhixin. This glance was like a fuse that was ignited, causing Ye Zhixin to immediately explode.

She looked at Ye Wanqing aggressively, ignoring Yin Xue and Li Lan's obstruction, she rushed forward and pointed at Ye Wanqing's nose and questioned him, "Ye Wanqing, what did you mean by those words just now!?"

"Xin Xin!"

This action lost the elegant gentleness of a noble family girl, causing Lu Yun's face to turn ugly immediately as he let out a low growl.

Ji Zhongliang was still here, but after Ye Zhixin had married Ji Xiao, he would still be staying at the Ji Family Residence. How could the elders of the Ji Family see such a disgraceful side of him?

Today was Ye Zhixin's engagement banquet. Originally, she should have been the main character that everyone was paying attention to, but now that Ye Wanqing had stolen the limelight and added in the matter of Ji Xiao, how could she still listen to Lu Yun's words?

His eyes immediately reddened as he scolded angrily: "Ye Wanqing, let me tell you, Ji Xiao is mine. Even if he doesn't have any feelings for you in his heart, Madam Ji will only be mine!"

When these words were spoken, the entire audience was in an uproar. It turned out that the Second Young Master of the Ji Family and the Ye Family's eldest daughter were not in favor, and in his heart, there was still another woman! And this woman had an inexplicable relationship with the head of the Gu family!

This was truly a brilliant play!

The people at the scene started to whisper to each other, and upon hearing the voices, Ye Zhixin finally reacted, she had been tricked!

Initially, the people who came to attend the engagement banquet thought that she and Ji Xiao were perfect girls, but now, they were personally exposed by her.

The relationship between her and Ji Xiao was not as perfect as others imagined. Even if she was the most compatible with him, in the eyes of others, this marriage had become a joke without any feelings. She had also become the laughing stock of other people!

With this farce, no matter if her and Ji Xiao's wedding was grand or low-key, it would still become a topic of discussion.

Ye Zhixin felt as if someone poured a bucket of ice water over her and poured it into an endless ice cave. All she could hear were the ridicule from those people and the main culprit behind all of this was none other than the man wearing the most luxurious clothes and holding the most respected man in Li City standing in front of her.

She was like a victor who was singing a high song, looking down at her sorry state.

"Ye Wanqing! I will kill you! "
