Chapter 915: My Girlfriend
“You? They were gossiping about you? They have been working for our family for so many years and have always been working diligently. They perform well. Why is it that the moment you came over, they would gossip about you? If your background is clean, why would you have to be afraid of others gossiping about you?”
Madam Zhou was so fierce as she chided her. Han Xuan immediately felt just as if there was a fishbone stuck in her throat. She forcefully turned her head over to the side as she glumly said, “I merely chided two servants, and you are chiding me like that. I can finally tell that all of you do not like me.”
Madam Zhou felt so much anger that her heart hurt. She knew that Han Xuan was Han Hong’s younger biological sister, and as a remaining family member of a hero, she thought that at the very least Han Xuan would be reasonable, but looking at how things were going right now, Han Xuan was totally unreasonable and did not fit in with others.
“Mum, no matter how much you do not like me, I have already married Older Brother Zhou. If you continue to be like this, then our family will be awkward, and Older Brother Zhou would still be in a dilemma.”
Madam Zhou:…
Who was the one actually creating awkwardness?
Madam Zhou felt that she had nothing to say to Han Xuan. She was unable to communicate with her. Her own son was involved with such a woman, and she could only sigh and think of it as sinful.
Leng Zhiyuan had been so good.
“There is a family banquet tomorrow. You should get prepared.” After she was done speaking, Madam Zhou left in a huff.
Han Xuan did not care about Madam Zhou’s emotions at all. She was focused on the family banquet. Her eyes lit up. This was great. She could finally attend a banquet as Mrs. Zhou.
This was the chance for her to reveal herself!
…
The banquet was held at a five star hotel. The main lobby was elaborately decorated. It was lit up brightly, and the ushers opened the main doors. Old Master Zhou, Master Zhou, and Madam Zhou walked in first, and Zhou Yao pushed Han Xuan inside.
The moment the Zhou family appeared, it attracted everyone’s attention. The people in attendance were mainly the upper cla.s.s elites of T City. They saw Old Master Zhou and quickly gathered around him as they said, “Old Master Zhou, it has been a long while. You are still in good health.”
“Haha, so are you all.” Old Master Zhou said with a smile on his face.
After they caught up with one another carefully, everyone’s gazes were extremely excited as they looked over at Han Xuan. Someone asked, “Old Master Zhou, is this your granddaughter-in-law? We heard that they have already gotten their marriage certificates.”
Han Xuan was waiting for everyone to look over at her. When everyone looked at her, she immediately sat up straight and had a gracious smile on her face.
No matter how much Old Master Zhou was unsatisfied with Han Xuan, he could not deny her status in front of everyone. His face froze as he nodded his head, “Yeah.”
With Old Master Zhou’s acknowledgement, everyone started to compliment her. “Mrs. Zhou, it has been a great opportunity to meet you in person. You are really sweet and intelligent, and you are so gracious.”
“That’s right, Mrs. Zhou. Congratulations on marrying into the Zhouo family. Our Major General Zhou has the heart of numerous girls in T City, and we did not expect that you would be the last one who would end up getting his heart. Congratulations, congratulations.”
These pleasantries immediately made Han Xuan feel sweet in her heart. She turned her head back to look at Zhou Yao. Zhou Yao was dressed in a white s.h.i.+rt and black trousers, and in the past few days, he’d become more and more silent/ His features became hard and stern. His s.h.i.+rt and collar flowed with his exquisite lines, and he was extremely masculine.
Han Xuan could vaguely notice the socialites in the hall looking over at Zhou Yao. They were all in awe and admiration of him. That made sense. He was nonchalant and unbothered on the outside, but he was a true pure masculine man in his bones. What girl would not want to dash into his arms when they saw him?
Han Xuan was extremely satisfied. This man was hers now!
“Mrs. Zhou, when are you and Major General Zhou having a child? The Zhou family should also have another member,” someone who asked with a smile.
Child…
Han Xuan looked at her flat stomach. Although her legs were disabled, as long as she recovered well, getting pregnant was not a problem.
She turned her head back to look at Zhou Yao sweetly as she said, “Hubby, they are asking you a question.”
“Haha, Mrs. Zhou is feeling shy,” someone teased her.
But this teasing quickly stopped because they noticed that Zhou Yao’s attention was not here at all. Although the tall man with long legs was standing behind the wheelchair, his head was turned to look over at the main doors.
The main doors were suddenly pulled open, and another group of people walked inside.
Master Ye was right in front. There were two couples behind him, and they were extremely eye-catching. They made others’ eyes light up. Leng Hao and Ye Xiaotao, also…Ye Ziyi and Leng Zhiyuan.
The Ye family was strong and powerful, and the moment the Ye family members appeared, everyone originally gathered around the Zhou family quickly gathered over there instead. “President Ye, we have waited a long time for you to come. You are finally here now.”
Master Ye broke out into loud laughter as he said, “Haha! I did not come late. It was all of you who came early… Come, let me introduce you all. This is my son, Ye Ziyi.”
“Director Ye is well known. President Ye, you have such a good son.” Everyone complimented him, then they turned their gazes over to look at Leng Zhiyuan as they asked, “May we know who this is?”
Ye Ziyi was dressed extremely immaculately in well-cut formal wear. He looked extremely gentlemanly. He gently turned his gaze over to the side as he had a glance at Leng Zhiyuan, and with a smile on his face, he said, “My girlfriend, she just returned back from studying in Switzerland. Her name is Man Yao.”
Man Yao was Leng Zhiyuan’s new ident.i.ty.
The word girlfriend made everyone gasp, and they said, “Director Ye has been so well known in the past few years. There are so many people who would like to enter the doors of the Ye family, but Director Ye has always been by himself. This is the first time that Director Ye is admitting to having a girlfriend in public. This Miss Man Yao is really…a beauty, and she matches Director Ye so well.”
“That’s right, that’s right…”
Leng Zhiyuan held Ye Ziyi’s arm, and she listened to these compliments and curled the corners of her lips up calmly to express her respect.
…
Han Xuan was in a blur on the spot as she looked at Leng Zhiyuan. She did not think that she would be seeing Leng Zhiyuan here!
There were already many people by her side who were softly whispering to one another —
“The Ye family is extremely influential and powerful, and their standards when picking a daughter-in-law would naturally be high. Director Ye is a gentleman who has been doing really well. Over the past few years, he has always been single. Everyone has been waiting to see which girl would be able to get the position, to be the one who matches him well. I really did not expect this person to come today, Miss Man Yao…”
“This Miss Man Yao is really too beautiful. The moment she appeared, she beat every woman in the hall. She stood by Director Ye’s side and really looked so compatible with him. They are such a perfect pair.”
“That’s right, only such a beautiful lady would be able to match up to the Ye family.”…
Han Xuan listened to these people chatting softly. She focused her gaze on Leng Zhiyuan, who was in the front. Leng Zhiyuan was dressed in a light green evening gown. The shade of green made her skin look even more fair. The mermaid tail design of the gown accentuated her curvy figure, and at this moment, she was standing underneath the bright s.h.i.+ning lights as she accepted the compliments from everyone. Her small snowy white earlobes had two brightly sparkling pearls.
Han Xuan felt hate as she firmly clenched her fists. She deeply dug her fingernails into her palms. She’d always known that Leng Zhiyuan was very beautiful, but she was always very low-profile and dressed in cold-coloured clothing. She never knew that she could be this dazzling and make others unable to avert their gazes just like.
