Ye Ruge felt a surge of anger in her chest. She walked over in a few steps. She was obviously very angry, but she had to restrain herself: "Why did you bring her here?"
Huo Yanxi rarely saw her so angry. He found her angry look very vivid and couldn't help but raise his lips playfully: "Since it's a banquet, why can't I bring a woman?"
He admitted in public that Xia Shiyun was his woman, so who was she, Mrs. Huo?
Did he know that his words would turn Ye Ruge into a laughing stock, and the ridicule, sarcasm, and even the sympathetic looks around her made her feel extremely humiliated.
Ye Ruge's face turned even paler.
Xia Shiyun wanted to add fuel to the fire at this moment: "Mrs. Huo, just think that I am here to congratulate your father on his birthday."
Ye Ruge stared at Xia Shiyun, who was almost completely pressed against Huo Yanxi's body. She took a deep breath. She didn't want to curse like a shrew, so she tried her best to calmly say: "You are not welcome here, please leave."
Before Huo Yanxi could speak, she shouted loudly: "Security, come here." It seemed that she was going to chase Xia Shiyun away directly.
"If she leaves, I will leave too." Huo Yanxi met her gaze and wanted to go against her.
Ye Ruge gritted his teeth and stared at him, almost blurting out, 'Then get out!'
The atmosphere between the two dropped to freezing point, and everyone else felt the pressure.
Wan Chunfang hurriedly came over and pulled Ye Ruge back, smiling apologetically at Huo Yanxi: "Yanxi, don't leave. Don't leave anyone. Today is your father-in-law's birthday party. All those who came to congratulate you are distinguished guests. Please come in."
"Looking at her flattering look, I am really afraid that Huo Yanxi is really gone.
She winked at Ye Yihai: "Yihai, you see your good son-in-law is here to celebrate your birthday, you have to let him stay and drink a few glasses of wine."
Ye Yihai glanced at his daughter, knowing that what Huo Yanxi did was too much and hurtful, but he had to bow to reality. Who told the Ye family to rely on the Huo family for survival?
Ye Yihai put on a weird smile: "Yes, Yanxi, please stay and have a few drinks with me."
Ye Ruge slowly closed her eyes, feeling that her body was completely cold. Huo Yanxi had given her so much embarrassment, but she couldn't put up any resistance.
Even her father is not on her side.
Huo Yanxi's eyes were always on Ye Ruge. Seeing that she was silent and looked extremely ugly, he felt a little depressed.
But he quickly ignored those annoyances and waved his hand to the assistant behind him to send a congratulatory gift: "Father-in-law, this is the birthday gift my mother asked me to give you."
Wan Chunfang accepted the congratulatory gift from Ye Yihai with a bright smile: "It's enough if you come. It's too polite to prepare any congratulatory gifts." The more she looked at Huo Yanxi, the more she liked it. Unfortunately, he was not marrying her daughter.
"You're welcome, I didn't prepare it anyway." Huo Yanxi called Ye Yihai his father-in-law, but he didn't take the Ye family seriously at all. After all, it was not his choice to marry into the Ye family.
Wan Chunfang's smile froze for a few seconds, and then she laughed a few times to cover up her embarrassment: "It's all the same, the same..."
Huo Yanxi stayed with Xia Shiyun. Ye Ruge felt her chest was tight, and everyone looked at her with sympathetic eyes, which made her feel even more uncomfortable. She said nothing and turned to go to the bathroom.
Huo Yanxi caught a glimpse of her leaving figure from the corner of his eye, and something flashed in his eyes.
Ye Ruge went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water to calm his thoughts a little.
She looked at her pale face in the mirror, unable to hide her sad eyes. She felt so tired. She would not be able to survive this marriage...
Huo Yanxi walked in the corridor to the bathroom, her expression slightly restrained, and what came to her mind was Ye Ruge's extremely ugly face just now.
Probably because he was absent-minded, he bumped into the oncoming person at the corner of the corridor. The person ran directly into his arms and exclaimed.
He reflexively grabbed the other person's waist and supported her.
He frowned and lowered his head, only to see the other person's face wrinkle up.
"Ah, brother-in-law, why is it you?" Ye Youran covered her sore nose and looked at him blankly.
Brother-in-law? She is Ye Ruge’s sister?
Huo Yanxi looked coldly: "Are you okay?" Just as he was about to let go, Ye Youran covered her head and looked uncomfortable: "I... I feel so dizzy..."
She leaned against his chest weakly, as if she would faint at any moment.
Huo Yanxi stared at Ye Youran who was leaning against him with cold eyes. When he was about to push her away again, a low scolding voice sounded: "Huo Yanxi, what are you doing to my sister!"
He looked up and saw Ye Ruge, with a cold face, walking over quickly and menacingly.
As soon as Ye Ruge came over, he pulled Ye Youran away from Huo Yanxi's arms and pulled her behind him, like protecting a sheep about to fall into the wolf's mouth.
She glared at Huo Yanxi coldly: "Are you too shameless? She is my sister, and you won't even let her go?"
Huo Yanxi's handsome face sank: "I'm not horny enough to attack a stunted little sister!"
What did she think of him? Did she think he was a flower-picking thief? She pounced on him because he was a woman?
When Ye Youran heard his words, embarrassment flashed across his face, and he lowered his head and said nothing.
"You don't have to argue, I've seen it all, I'm warning you to stay away from her!" Ye Ruge didn't believe him at all, so he put down his words and grabbed Ye Youran's hand and left quickly.
Huo Yanxi felt gloomy in her heart. Seeing how anxious she was to stay away from him, did she really think of him as a pervert?
Ye Ruge pulled Ye Youran back to the banquet hall: "Don't get too close to Huo Yanxi in the future, understand?"
Ye Youran withdrew her hand forcefully and looked at her angrily: "What? Are you afraid that I will steal the man from you? If his heart is not with you, he will be snatched away by another woman sooner or later."
Ye Youran sneered and secretly scolded Ye Ruge for being nosy. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Ye Ruge caught her again.
She turned back angrily and met Ye Ruge's cold gaze: "It's not your turn to worry about whether his heart is with me or not. I am his legal wife. This is a fact that cannot be changed. Others want to snatch it away.
It’s a delusion, today is dad’s birthday, you’d better not cause trouble and make him unhappy.”
Ye Ruge had just seen Ye Youran bumping into Huo Yanxi on purpose. She couldn't believe that Ye Youran had inappropriate thoughts about Huo Yanxi. Her stepmother must have instigated her to do this.
She deliberately blamed Huo Yanxi just to stop Ye Youran's delusion.
When Ye Youran heard her half-warning words, she couldn't help but get angry: "What are you so proud about? You'd better put Mrs. Huo in jail!" She snorted after saying this and left angrily.
Ye Ruge still looked calm, but there were some emotions in his eyes.
Feeling a little stuffy in her heart, she turned around and came to the wine tower to pick up a glass of wine.
"Mrs. Huo, you don't look good?" A slightly provocative female voice sounded from the side.
Ye Ruge frowned and turned around when he heard the sound. Xia Shiyun raised her chin arrogantly and looked at her as if to demonstrate.
