Chapter 680 Thank you for your kindness
On Saturday evening, the 70th birthday of Ou Hongxin, the old man of the Ou family, was held in the banquet hall of the Ou family's old house.
The banquet halls on the first and second floors were crowded with celebrities, laughter and chatter, and luxury was evident in the clinking of glasses.
As the birthday party progressed, the atmosphere became more and more intense, and a hint of softness and warmth was revealed amid the bright lights.
As time slowly passed, the air was filled with an intoxicating feeling of tipsiness. Under the numbness of alcohol, it seemed as if we were trapped in a prosperous dreamland.
At this time, Ye Yingran learned about her sister Ye Yanzhi and niece Xie Ruxue, who had been hiding something from her before.
She didn't look angry at all on the surface, but Ye Yanzhi, who knew her well, knew that she was in a very bad mood because of her sudden laughter.
She also found out that Ou Jinghuan’s girlfriend was not the female star as previously rumored, but Li Chuyue, the vice president of Honglan Group.
She was shocked by the identity of Li Hongye, the daughter and vice president of Honglan Group, and was conflicted for a while.
Because Ye Yingran and her husband Ou Dehui had previously wanted to find Ou Jinghuan's celebrity girlfriend and try to persuade her to defect and use her for their own purposes.
In this way, even if Xie Ruxue failed, Li Chuyue beside Ou Jinghuan could help her and Ou Dehui.
After all, she was extremely disappointed with Xie Ruxue. If Xie Ruxue was not her niece, she would have turned against her long ago.
But Li Chuyue's current identity and background are obviously not simple. Not only is she not short of money, she also does not need to spend resources to become famous like a star.
However, when Ye Yingran heard Li Chuyue say that she and Ou Jinghuan had not been dating for long, she thought that the relationship between them might not be deep and stable.
Moreover, she believed that Ou Jinghuan, who was cold, unfeeling, strong and overbearing, did not understand what women liked at all.
The most important thing is that she doesn't think it's Li Chuyue who doesn't want to make their relationship public, but Ou Jinghuan who doesn't want to make it public.
As the wife of Ou Jinghuan's second uncle, Ye Yingran is well aware of Ou Jinghuan's coldness and disgust towards women.
She felt that a cold-blooded bastard like Ou Jinghuan, who didn't even recognize his own father, could never truly fall in love with someone.
She knew that Li Chuyue was young and beautiful, probably not short of money, and did not need the opportunity to become famous that female artists longed for.
But Ye Yingran believes that there is no woman who does not want to obtain the top fame and fortune in the country, and no woman does not desire to stand at the top of the socialite family.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, she still had hope for Li Chuyue.
Therefore, the smile on her face did not diminish at all, and she even held Li Chuyue's hand affectionately, reminding Li Chuyue in a particularly kind and merciful manner.
When Li Chuyue faced Ye Yingran, who kindly reminded her to be careful and even firmly stated that she would help, she showed an aloof smile.
She met Ye Yingran for the first time today. From the first sight, her sixth sense told her that this person was dangerous.
In addition, after Xu Zhishan told her some things about Ye Yingran and Ou Jinghuan, her initial wariness turned into disgust.
Although Ye Yingran, as an elder in the family, expressed his recognition of Ou Jinghuan's abilities and his support for Li Chuyue.
But Li Chuyue could still clearly see the ill intention in Ye Yingran's smile, and the falsehood in her kind words.
At this time, Li Chuyue saw that Ye Yingran was not here with Xie Ruxue to cause trouble, so she did not directly break the thin layer of awkwardness between them.
She quickly pulled away Ye Yingran's hand and took the arms of Xu Zhishan and Xia Shumei beside her.
Then, she looked particularly relieved, smiled happily, and replied:
"Thank you for your kindness, Second Aunt! But there's no need to trouble you.
I have my aunt and godmother who treat me like their own daughter and protect me, as well as my good friend Shanshan, so I won't be bullied!"
Li Chuyue was halfway through her speech when her expression gradually became serious and her tone became heavier. She said:
“And…Jing Huan will never allow others to bully me. I know this very well and feel at ease.
However, I still want to thank Second Aunt for the reminder. I will be more careful and cautious!"
Ye Yingran's empty hand stopped in the air. Although she quickly put it down, she still looked a little embarrassed.
After she finished listening to what Li Chuyue said, she smiled slightly, laughed out loud, and said:
"That's right! This has nothing to do with me, the second aunt! Look, I'm worrying about nothing again, hahahaha."
On the side, Xu Zhishan, Xia Shumei and Ying Muyun heard Li Chuyue's words, and they laughed even louder than Ye Yingran.
Xu Zhishan put her arms around Li Chuyue's neck and leaned her head on her shoulders, looking very reliable.
Ying Muyun smiled and nodded, her eyes swept over Ye Yingran, Ye Yanzhi and Xie Ruxue in front of her one by one, and said:
"I'm here! If anyone dares to bully my goddaughter, I'll beat them to a pulp!"
Hearing this, Xie Ruxue was so frightened that her body trembled. Feeling guilty, she trembled uncontrollably for a long time.
After Xia Shumei smiled for a while, she placed one hand on the silky back of Li Chuyue's arm and touched it.
Then, with a doting look on her face, she pulled Li Chuyue away and said goodbye to Ye Yingran:
"Let's stop here for now! We have something to do somewhere else, so we'll talk next time."
"Okay, let's talk next time~" Ye Yingran nodded and responded to Xia Shumei's words with a smile.
As Xia Shumei and Li Chuyue left, she slowly turned around, but her eyes kept following Li Chuyue.
The smile that had been on her face just now gradually weakened until it disappeared completely.
In an instant, a gloomy look covered her entire face, as if it was shrouded by dark clouds.
At this time, Xie Ruxue had not yet noticed Ye Yingran's rage, so she explained directly:
"Aunt, we didn't mean to hide it from you...
After all, we still don’t quite believe that Brother Jing Huan and Li Chuyue are together, we…”
Before Xie Ruxue could finish her words, Ye Yingran turned around and glared at her, interrupting her in a low voice:
"Shut up!"
Xie Ruxue was stunned at first, because it was the first time she saw her aunt so angry.
However, she would rather take the responsibility herself than let her mother be scolded and then beaten up when she got home.
So, she did not back down, but continued to explain boldly:
"Aunt! I'm sorry! It's my fault. It has nothing to do with mother. I..."
Suddenly, she was interrupted again, but this time it was not Ye Yingran who interrupted her, but her mother Ye Yanzhi, who said:
"Xie Ruxue! I'm so disappointed in you!
Why didn't you tell us that you offended Ou Jinghuan's mother? "
Even though Ye Yanzhi knew that Xie Ruxue was helping her take the blame for lying to Ye Yingran in the first place, she pretended not to see it.
She was even afraid that Ye Yingran would vent his anger on her, so she pretended to be angry and accused Xie Ruxue of concealing the fact that she had offended Xia Shumei.
"..." Xie Ruxue was speechless for a moment. Finally, she remained silent out of habit, fearing that her explanation would be mistaken for talking back and she would be beaten.
