Chapter 679 Be Careful
In the banquet hall, Xia Shumei's love for Li Chuyue seemed to be emitting endless light like the chandelier on the ceiling.
Everyone present saw it. Xia Shumei's love was frank and direct, and everyone could see that it was not pretended.
Ye Yanzhi saw that Xia Shumei was deliberately distancing herself from Xie Ruxue, but seemed to be very fond of Li Chuyue.
She was very dissatisfied, so an overly direct sarcasm came out of her mouth.
She seemed to be kindly reminding Xia Shumei, Li Chuyue and Xu Zhishan, but everyone knew the malice in her words.
Even Ying Muyun, who had been standing quietly nearby, could see the hostility of the people in front of her towards her godson's girlfriend.
She frowned, her face became serious, and the powerful aura of a soldier burst out instantly.
Ying Muyun seemed like a killing robot that could be launched at any time, staring at the people in front of her with sharp eyes.
Xie Ruxue, who had a shadow over Ying Muyun, quickly noticed Ying Muyun's displeasure.
Shocked, she lowered her head, not daring to agree with her mother's sarcasm, and listened quietly to her aunt asking questions to Li Chuyue.
At this time, Ying Muyun was so unhappy, and Xu Zhishan and Xia Shumei were even more angry.
Xia Shumei likes Li Chuyue, a sensible girl, and she cannot tolerate others' slander against Li Chuyue.
Moreover, she thought that Li Chuyue was the person her son liked after all. Even if Ou Jinghuan had not requested her before, she could not choose to forgive her this time.
So, she spoke up decisively to help Li Chuyue, and her tone was full of recognition of Li Chuyue's character and support for her future.
On the side, the angry Xu Zhishan spoke more directly, and every word she said was showing off for Li Chuyue.
Moreover, every word she said refuted Ye Yanzhi's description of Li Chuyue as "all show and no substance".
She even told everyone directly that Ye Yanzhi's own daughter Xie Ruxue was the one who looked beautiful on the outside but was actually rotten on the inside!
Hearing this, Xie Ruxue raised her eyes and glared at Xu Zhishan, while Ye Yanzhi glared at Xu Zhishan with wide eyes.
In an instant, there was a feeling that a war was about to break out, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Just when everyone felt that Ye Yanzhi was furious and was about to raise his hand to hit someone, Ye Yingran spoke up to break the awkward and tense atmosphere.
Ye Yingran still had a friendly smile on her face, and when she looked at Li Chuyue, it was as if she was looking at a younger person she liked.
She did not refute what Xia Shumei and Xu Zhishan said. Instead, she agreed with what they said, expressing her surprise and appreciation.
Her tone did not have Ye Yanzhi's sarcasm, but was instead full of recognition. She also took the opportunity to ask Li Chuyue a question.
Li Chuyue smiled at Ou Jinghuan's second uncle's wife Ye Yingran and asked seemingly unintentionally what she had noticed.
So, she responded with a straightforward smile, her voice soft but not too delicate, and finally spoke:
"Jing Huan and I have only been together for a while now, and he has wanted to make it public for a long time, but I didn't want to do it too soon.
Doesn't Second Aunt know? I thought Xie Ruxue and Aunt Xie, who knew about it a long time ago, would tell you!
Hahaha, I was worried that too many people would know about this, but now I realize I was worrying for nothing!
Li Chuyue said this, she raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Xie Ruxue and Ye Yanzhi, her eyes filled with innocent smiles, thanking:
"I didn't expect Xie Ruxue and Aunt Xie to be so kind! You actually kept it a secret for me for so many days! Even Second Aunt didn't know!
It really saved Jinghuan and me a lot of unnecessary trouble! Thank you so much~"
As soon as Li Chuyue finished speaking, Xie Ruxue and Ye Yanzhi's bodies twitched violently and their fists clenched tightly.
Their hearts seemed to have been dug into a bottomless pit, and they could no longer die.
Xie Ruxue almost buried her head in her neck, and Ye Yanzhi, who was so arrogant just now, also lowered his head guiltily.
As expected! At the moment when Xie Ruxue and Ye Yanzhi lowered their heads guiltily, Ye Yingran turned around and looked at them.
The smile on her face did not fade, but the upward curve of her mouth gradually became larger.
Ye Yanzhi and Xie Ruxue both noticed Ye Yingran's gaze on them, and they subconsciously looked up.
What they saw was Ye Yingran's cold eyes, and the two nervous people trembled unconsciously.
Afterwards, Xie Ruxue and Ye Yanzhi had almost the same reaction, but they had different thoughts in their minds.
Xie Ruxue was just worried about being scolded by her aunt. After all, Ye Yingran, whom Xie Ruxue usually met, was particularly gentle to her.
Even when her mother wanted to hit her, Ye Yingran would stop her as long as she was nearby.
Therefore, she thought that her aunt doted on her more than her mother, and at this moment she just didn't want to be scolded by her aunt.
But Ye Yanzhi was afraid. After all, she knew Ye Yingran very well and she could sense the danger hidden behind her sister's smile.
As a child, whenever she did something wrong or disobeyed her sister Ye Yingran, she would see that creepy smile.
Therefore, even though she has a bad temper, she will subconsciously be very scared when facing the angry Smiling Tiger Sister.
In addition, Ye Yanzhi knew very well that her brother-in-law's patience was almost exhausted.
While she attached great importance to the last chance given to her by her sister and brother-in-law today, she was also extremely afraid that her sister would stop helping her in a fit of anger.
When Xie Ruxue and Ye Yanzhi looked at her, Ye Yingran said in a calm tone, even with a hint of grievance:
"It's fine if Jing Huan didn't tell me, but I asked you guys before, and you didn't tell me either. I was so curious.
And Ruxue, why didn’t you tell me that you and Jinghuan’s girlfriend, who is so outstanding, are classmates?
"Oh! I know you're thinking about Jing Huan, so I don't blame Yan Zhi and Ru Xue."
Ye Yingran's expression did not show anger, and there was no trace of real dissatisfaction in her tone. In the end, she even expressed understanding.
Seeing this, Li Chuyue thought for a moment that her previous guess was wrong.
Just when she thought that what Xie Ruxue and Xie's mother Ye Yanzhi were afraid of Ye Yingran knowing was not what she said, she discovered something wrong.
Suddenly, Ye Yanzhi and Xie Ruxue, who had lowered their heads in guilt, raised their heads and began to explain:
"No! It's not what you think, auntie/sister!
We were also because..."
Before Xie Ruxue and Xie's mother Ye Yanzhi could finish their explanation, Ye Yingran's aggrieved look disappeared, and she interrupted with laughter:
"Hahaha, I know, I know everything! After all, Chu Yue is right to worry. It's really not good if more people know.
And I can also feel that Jinghuan likes you, and now Shumei likes you so much too. It can be seen that you are a good child.
I also watched Jinghuan grow up. Not only Shumei is happy that he has someone he likes, but his second uncle and I are also happy for him.
Jing Huan is the most outstanding member of the Ou family, but because he is so outstanding, he has many enemies targeting him and those around him.
When Ye Yingran said this, she suddenly looked serious and walked closer to Li Chuyue.
Xia Shumei knew that Ye Yingran was saying nice things, so she also knew that Ye Yingran would not do anything to Li Chuyue.
Xu Zhishan didn't care about anything else. She promised to protect Li Chuyue.
So, she didn't care whether Ye Yingran was the wife of Ou Jinghuan's second uncle or anyone else, she immediately stepped forward.
She kept a close eye on Ye Yingran's every move, guarding against Ye Yingran doing anything bad to Li Chuyue.
At this time, Ye Yingran glanced at Xu Zhishan, who was full of vigilance. She smiled helplessly and did not explain anything.
She slowly raised her hand and gently held one of Li Chuyue's hands.
Then, she said solemnly, with a hint of worry in her tone,
"So you must be careful. This grand and solemn birthday banquet is actually full of good and bad people, so be careful.
If any aunt or uncle can help, please come to me!
Second aunt, don't let others bully you! Even if my sister and niece Ruxue want to bully you, they can't do that!"
Although Ye Yingran's voice was low, Ye Yanzhi and Xie Ruxue still heard it, or maybe she did it on purpose.
They were suddenly shocked and showed expressions of disbelief. Ye Yanzhi even felt that her sister was going to give up on them.
After Xu Zhishan saw the shocked and sad expressions on Xie Ruxue and her mother's faces, she didn't know whether Ye Yingran had other purposes.
But she liked to see Xie Ruxue unhappy, and a particularly proud and happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Li Chuyue also smiled, but she was not really smiling, because she was not as simple as Ye Yingran imagined.
