C225 Favorite Marriage of Wealthy Families 158

0She knows?    

    

Zhong Yuquan's heart sank. Only now did he recall Zhao Wenying's sudden departure from the family that year. He guessed that she had overheard him say he was married, and had been so upset that she had made up her mind to leave him. Perhaps it was because her family was forcing her to get married and have a blind date, but she couldn't bear to give up her relationship with him, and she was also forced by helplessness, so she could only choose to leave.    

    

At that time, he didn't pursue the matter. He didn't want to make it so that he wouldn't be able to escape.    

    

He thought about many things, but he never thought that it was his wife who found out about it and went to talk to Zhao Wenying.    

    

His wife wasn't that low-key. If she had known about this, she would have spread the news. That was why he didn't think much about it.    

    

"What, you're not going to say hello to your illegitimate daughter and old lover and have a drink?" Madames Zhong's voice was colder, but it wasn't loud due to face.    

    

The bystanders only thought that this couple had a good relationship between them and were chatting warmly.    

    

Zhong Yuquan had no other choice but to pretend to be innocent.    

    

"What did you say?" I don't understand. " He frowned slightly.    

    

"Do you need me to explain it more clearly? What did you do at Ye Family Villa last night? " Madames Zhong asked in a low voice, causing Zhong Yuquan's forehead to start sweating.    

    

He didn't know that his wife also had the hobby of secretly letting people follow him. After so many years of living with Zhao Wenying, he had already learned about the affairs of men and women. It was also for the sake of his career that he no longer tainted the women beside him.    

    

His wife knew that he did not avoid her, as he secretly did when he was an official. Thus, he had almost never been on guard against her and had neglected to do so.    

    

Ever since Madames Zhong found out that her husband and Zhao Wenying had a relationship outside, their relationship was unclear. In order to protect her family, she had talked to Zhao Wenying.    

    

She remembered that Zhao Wenying knew that Zhong Yuquan was already married. When she came back to her senses, she kept apologizing to Madames Zhong.    

    

Madames Zhong had no way to forgive her. She felt that no one could forgive a third party. At that time, she was very serious and scolded Zhao Wenying for being shameless. She was a fox spirit and wanted her to resign.    

    

Zhao Wenying agreed all at once. She felt guilty, feeling that she had committed suicide without understanding the situation, even if she did not know it, in fact, she had already destroyed someone's family. When she found out that Madames Zhong and Zhong Yuquan's children were only a few months old, she promised that she would never appear in front of Zhong Yuquan again.    

    

It was just that she didn't know she was pregnant and only found out she was pregnant when she returned home after leaving her family.    

    

Zhao Wenying's incident had raised Madames Zhong's vigilance. For so many years, she had been secretly paying attention to where President Zhong had gone to. If she had a strong personality, she wouldn't be able to tolerate his anger for having an affair. However, she already had Zhong Yunchang, so she forced herself to smile for so many years and never said a word. It was as if she didn't know about this.    

    

She never expected Zhong Yuquan and Zhao Wenying to have a child. Today, she saw Xia Yihan standing beside Zhao Wenying. Even an idiot could tell that they were a mother and daughter, yet she was still hiding it.    

    

Thinking about how her husband went to the Ye Family Villa quietly the night before, she couldn't figure out the reason yet. But now it seemed like everything was very clear, he was just going to see his illegitimate daughter!    

    

At this moment, Madames Zhong's heart was aching like a worm in her stomach. Her husband who had been with her for more than twenty years was doing all this behind her back. How could she bear to take this lying down?    

    

President Zhong didn't say anything. He knew that if his wife started a fight, it would be earth-shattering.    

    

Coincidentally, Zhong Yunchang had returned at this moment, and he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Regardless of how he said it, the Madam had her daughter to worry about. If she wanted to cause trouble, he could still use his daughter to restrain her.    

    

Madames Zhong also noticed Zhong Yunchang, and she said in a low voice, "Sofia is back. As long as I am here, you can never hope to recognize her! "    

    

"If there's anything we need to talk about, let's go home. Madam, please be patient. This is the day of great celebration for Hai Family, we should eat." There was also a messy relationship between the Hai Family and Madames Zhong's family. It was only after he reminded them that Madames Zhong finally managed to squeeze out a smile.    

    

Her laughter was mainly for her daughter to see.    

    

"Mom, how are you feeling? "Drink some water and see if you can get better." Zhong Yunchang said softly as she handed the cup to her mother.    

    

"It's okay. Mom's better now. Darling, sit down." Madames Zhong took a few sips of the warm water that Zhong Yunchang had carefully mixed with the water, calming down her agitated emotions a little.    

    

Her gaze could not help but look in the direction of the Ye Family, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.    

    

It was fine if they didn't want to be delusional, but if anyone tried to destroy her family's reputation, she wasn't someone to be trifled with.    

    

So what if she was Ye Zimo's woman, so what if she was Chief of staff, Lee's wife?    

    

She didn't believe that Chief of staff, Lee wouldn't kick this woman out of his house!    

    

Zhao Wenying exchanged a few more pleasantries with Ye Haorann and his wife before looking at Ye Zimo with a smile, then looking at Xia Yihan, she nodded and left.    

    

After she left, Ye Haorann and Fu Fengyi both looked curiously at their son and future daughter-in-law.    

    

It wasn't that they were suspicious, it was just that they were people with status. They only glanced at it, but didn't say anything. Even so, Xia Yihan was unable to calm down. Ye Zimo continued to hold her hand. Sensing her emotions, he slowly said to her parents, "It's just a coincidence. We've met before."    

    

This coincidence was too similar, especially since Xia Yihan was an orphan.    

    

Ye Haorann and Fu Fengyi were not gossipy people. They only wanted to see their son and Xia Yihan loving each other harmoniously. Therefore, neither of them said a word.    

    

Lunch is the form of buffet, the wine is convenient for everyone to move around.    

    

When Hai Family Old Man's birthday celebration ended, it would be time for everyone to eat.    

    

Ye Zimo knew that this was Xia Yihan's first time at a place like this, so she was more or less restrained. In addition, she was afraid that it would harm her mother and further restrict her, so Ye Zimo didn't move an inch away from her.    

    

The banquet hall was very large, and after they had eaten, Zhao Wenying seemed to have intentionally avoided the Ye Family, as she stayed at a relatively remote place.    

    

She sipped at the hot drink in her hand as she cast her gaze indistinctly at Xia Yihan.    

    

"Madame Lee, long time no see!" Just as Zhao Wenying was looking at Xia Yihan again, someone behind her suddenly greeted her.    

    

She turned her head and saw Madames Zhong standing behind her with a goblet in her hand, looking at her with a cold sneer.    

    

She would always remember this woman. It was her appearance that made her realize that what she thought of as unforgettable love was nothing but a lie. The moment Zhao Wenying saw President Zhong, she no longer felt the throbbing of her heart, nor did she feel any resentment or hatred towards him.    

    

As a person, she would never blame herself on others. Even if she was indeed deceived by him, she only thought that she was being reckless.    

    

She always felt guilty towards Madames Zhong.    

    

"It's you. It's been so many years." Zhao Wenying said softly.    

    

"What do you want now that you've stolen my husband's child? If he didn't want to ruin his reputation, it would be best if he didn't intentionally make her acknowledge him as her ancestor. I won't let anyone who wants to ruin my family's happiness get away with it. "    

    

After saying that, Madames Zhong raised her glass and, before Zhao Wenying could say anything, she turned around with a cold expression.    

    

Even though Ye Zimo and Xia Yihan were in the corner, there was an endless stream of people who came to talk to him. Amongst the younger generation in the East River, he and Zhong Yunchang had the highest prestige. Girls often surrounded Zhong Yunchang to flatter her. As for the men, they would try to get Ye Zimo to talk to them. He was usually a little cold. Recently, he probably had a relationship with Xia Yihan, so he was a bit softer than before.    

    

Especially the first person who came to chat with him, Ye Zimo had refused his invitation and Xia Yihan had smiled apologetically at him.    

    

He knew that his little thing was soft-hearted and could not bear to see others being ignored by him. Actually, she did not understand. These people were not simple people when they came to find him. If they got too close, they would need to find him for a bit of help. Some were helpful, some were unhelpful. If he didn't help them behind their backs, they would just talk about them and derogate from them. This circle was actually quite boring, and he understood it long ago. Therefore, he chose to stay away from them. He would rather make people think that he was too high to get along with them than be in the same boat with them.    

    

It wasn't like Xia Yihan didn't understand. She was just too soft-hearted, and maybe she hadn't experienced the frigidness of the situation yet. When she recalled later on, she felt that Ye Zimo's coldness might have been right.    

    

Another person who came to chat with Ye Zimo left. Ye Zimo was just about to hug Xia Yihan to find a more peaceful place when she saw Hai Zhixuan walk towards her with quick steps.    

    

"Zimo, help me greet Chairman Lin's young master. I really don't have time for this."    

    

Ye Zimo knew that Hai Zhixuan didn't want to mess with that guy. However, Chairman Lin was a senior member of the Central Committee and was also a standing committee. He was directly in charge of the promotion of the provincial leaders. Chairman Lin's father had rendered meritorious service to the Hai Family, so it wasn't good for Hai Zhixuan to ignore him.    

    

Ye Zimo's brows twitched as she thought to herself, You brat, how carefree, you actually threw such a hard to chew bone to me.    

    

"Please!" Hai Zhixuan patted his shoulder. Someone else was calling him, so he went back to work.    

    

"Follow my mother and tell Jiu Jiu to take care of you. Don't be alone." Ye Zimo exhorted Qin Lie as she glanced at Xia Yihan a few times with worry.    

    

"You are busy. I will follow Auntie. Don't worry about me."    

    

Xia Yihan said softly. Her appearance was like that of a cute and sensible daughter-in-law. I felt a ripple in my heart. I bent down to kiss her face before going to find Chairman Lin's son.    

    

The reason he didn't bring Xia Yihan over was because that Lin guy was crazy about women. He wasn't afraid of him, but he didn't want his woman to be stared at by a lecher. He couldn't help but want to hit her.    

    

Xia Yihan walked in Fu Fengyi's direction. Ye Zimo looked in her direction from time to time. Seeing her walk to his mother's side, he felt relieved and went back to work.    

    

During the party, each person had their own circle. Fu Fengyi was surrounded by the ladies, and Ye Haorann had gone to the gathering place of the middle-aged and elderly politicians. Xia Yihan walked over to Fu Fengyi's side. She understood that her son wanted her to take care of Xia Yihan for the time being.    

    

Everyone already knew that Ye Zimo and Soong Wanting had broken off their engagement. Seeing that Ye Zimo had brought a young woman with a fairy-like appearance, they naturally guessed that she was Ye Zimo's new girlfriend.    

    

Although no one asked directly, they all guessed that she must have snatched Ye Zimo from Soong Wanting's hands.    

    

"Madame Ye, is this your future daughter-in-law?" Pann Yu's mother, also known as Director Pan's wife, asked.    

    

Fu Fengyi looked at Xia Yihan affectionately. Her face was flushed from the question. She was Ye Zimo's woman, but not his fiancee or anything like that. With her current identity, she wouldn't be delusional.    

    

Fu Fengyi, on the other hand, did not feel the same way. He knew that even though Ye Zimo had a lot of women over the years, he usually did not attend such an occasion openly with women. Even Soong Wanting and them rarely went in and out of the city together.    

    

Therefore, the reason he had brought Xia Yihan here today was not just for show. It meant that he was already preparing for a more serious relationship with Xia Yihan, and most likely for them to discuss marriage as well.    

    

Before Fu Fengyi could answer, Xia Yihan felt she shouldn't have come here. It brought unnecessary attention to her mother, and it also embarrassed Fu Fengyi. If she answered that she was her future daughter-in-law, it would be tantamount to kidnapping Ye Zimo's reputation. If he didn't marry her in the future and stayed with other women, even Fu Fengyi would be accused of being an unworthy godson.    

    

"Yes, she is my daughter-in-law. Her name is Xia Yihan. "Yihan, let me introduce you. This is the wife of Director Pan of Dongjiang City, Aunt Che, and this is the wife of Vice Chairman Liu of Dongjiang City. Auntie Xie, this is …" Fu Fengyi said graciously and introduced them to Xia Yihan.    

    

Xia Yihan did as she was told, and all the other aunties called out to her.    

    

Now that Fu Fengyi had admitted it so loudly, the ladies were not in a position to guess anymore. However, everyone still started to passionately ask Xia Yihan about everything. Some of them couldn't suppress their curiosity and even asked her: "Why does she look so much like Chief of staff, Lee's wife? It can't be her sister, right?"    

    

Xia Yihan tried her best to control her emotions, but her expression was still a bit awkward.    

    

"It does look a bit similar, perhaps it's just that the temperament is similar. I don't think there's much of a similarity between their facial features."    

    

After she finished explaining, she did not want Xia Yihan to be the topic of discussion, so she said to her, "There's no rush to get Auntie a cup of hot coffee. You should also walk around, it's really boring to chat with us seniors."    

    

"Oh, look, Madame Ye is protecting her daughter-in-law, afraid that we will eat her." Fu Fengyi also smiled. "Your daughter-in-law will definitely have to be protected."    

    

Xia Yihan was very grateful to Fu Fengyi for admitting it, and she was also thinking for her sake. At this point, she understood the meaning of Ye Zimo's words. He said that he would share his family with her, and she would no longer be an orphan.    

    

"Jiu Jiu, you go with Yihan." Fu Fengyi instructed Jiu Jiu, who hurriedly nodded her head.    

    

After only a few steps, Xia Yihan whispered in Jiu Jiu's ear that she was still following Fu Fengyi. She was getting on in age. Perhaps because she was tired from standing, or perhaps because she felt uncomfortable somewhere, it would be more convenient to have her by her side.    

    

"Yihan, what are you going to do then?" Jiu Jiu asked in worry.    

    

"What should I do? Look, whose family's gathering is this? It belongs to Hai Family; the relationship between Hai Family and them is so good. What can I do here? It's okay, don't worry! "Hurry up and go!"    

    

Jiu Jiu nodded and went back to find Fu Fengyi.    

    

Xia Yihan walked forward by herself. She really didn't know anyone here, but she didn't want to stay by Fu Fengyi's side and look at the strange looks from those women.    

    

She could tell that as long as she was there, they would keep asking Fu Fengyi about her.    

    

She stopped in a deserted corner and sat down on the sofa beside her. She looked around her, and then her eyes fell on her mother, who was also sitting there quietly.    

    

She too was looking at her with eyes full of love and a faint smile.    

    

Separated by many people, Xia Yihan lightly nodded to her. She really wanted to get up and walk over to her so that she could have a few words with her alone.    

    

While she was looking at Zhao Wenying, a few people were also looking at her. There was some distance between them, and as they looked at her, they were also discussing her.    

    

"Uncle, Aunt, where did Wanting go? Was it that easy to get rid of that vixen? Look at her, how arrogant, I get angry just by looking at her. I really want to go up and scold her. " The one who said all this in a huff was Hai Zhixuan's ex-girlfriend, Pann Yu. She stood beside Vice President Soong and his wife, purposely coming to greet them.    

    

Vice President Soong and his wife also wanted to go up to Xia Yihan and scold her. They even wanted to beat her up. It hadn't been long since Ye Zimo and Soong Wanting had said goodbye to each other in public. This Ye Zimo brought along her newlyweds and appeared on the stage kind. I heard that Soong Wanting is an orphan and he would rather have an orphan to take care of her and kick her away. Isn't this slapping Vice President Soong's face?    

    

Soong's face was gloomy. Madame Soong's expression turned even uglier as she said to Pann Yu coldly, "You are Ting's good friend and are about the same age as her. You don't have to worry about the consequences of doing what you want. We know you're doing this for Ting and will always be grateful to you. If Ting knew that you were so loyal, she would treat you as her soulmate. "    

    

Pann Yu had been enduring for a long time. She really did not want to endure anymore today. Although she already had a new boyfriend and wasn't any weaker than Hai Zhixuan, on the contrary, she was much stronger than Hai Zhixuan. However, she still couldn't forget about Hai Zhixuan, especially when she saw Hai Zhixuan's gaze on Xia Yihan, who always snuggled up to Ye Zimo from time to time. She gritted her teeth in anger.    

    

She was always hanging around the ladies of the officials, but she didn't notice Chief of staff, Lee's wife, who was also the stepmother of her new boyfriend Lee Heetai. If she had known that his stepmother was here and was Xia Yihan's mother, she probably wouldn't have gone to cause trouble so recklessly.    

    

When she held the wine cup and told Vice President Soong and his wife that she was going to meet Xia Yihan, she felt that she had the support of Soong Family and the backing of Chief of staff, Lee's son, so she was very confident.    

    

"Miss Xia!" Pann Yu called out to Xia Yihan in an extremely unfriendly tone. After that, she did not invite her in and sat on the sofa beside her.    

    

Xia Yihan could tell that she was causing trouble, so she only nodded at her. She didn't even bother to talk to her and got up to leave.    

    

"Hide from me? Was it because I told you that Soong Wanting treated you as her own sister, yet you shamelessly stole her man? " Pann Yu's words were as sharp as knives. Xia Yihan's face suddenly turned red.    

    

In particular, when Pann Yu had raised her voice a bit, those who were chatting happily nearby turned their heads to look at her.    

0

    

When they saw that she was Ye Zimoxin's woman and was criticized like that, some of the women's eyes were filled with schadenfreude.    

    

Since Pann Yu had said so, it was indeed hard for Xia Yihan to reply. Soong Wanting had introduced her before, and some of the famous people in the East River knew that she was Soong Wanting's sworn sister.    

    

Those who didn't understand the situation naturally felt that she was the vixen who had stolen her brother-in-law's hand. They couldn't help but feel happy when they saw her scolding her as well.    

    

However, she was Ye Zimo's woman. They only dared to watch from afar with disdain in their eyes, but they didn't really dare to say anything.
