Old Madam Huo ignored the people around her and turned to look at Huo Ge. “Xiao Ge, now that I’m out, who won? I’m curious and want to see you young people bet on the fun of the game.”
Huo Ge smiled and said, “Then Grandma, are you going to chase Lin Yin away
Old Madam Huo looked at Lin Yin in surprise. Then, she held Lin Yin’s hand gently and rebuked, “Xiao Ge, what are you talking about? Yinyin is an esteemed guest I personally invited. It’s naturally impossible to chase her away.”
Old Madam Huo’s words undoubtedly determined the outcome of this bet. Everyone’s gazes landed on Lin Yin, suspecting her ident.i.ty and wondering if she was the daughter of a big family.
In their opinion, Old Madam Huo, who had always cared about family background, would not get close to a girl with no background for no reason.
Huo Ge looked around and smiled. “If that’s the case, Lin Yin will win. Therefore, the losers will be Lu Yue and Gong Yue. According to the bet just now, Lu Yue and Gong Yue will pour wine for all the guests present tonight.”
When Old Madam Huo heard the bet, her face darkened. To ask a girl of the same status to pour wine for all her peers present was extremely humiliating to her.
“They’re all daughters of n.o.ble families. They’re all from respectable families.
How can they humiliate them like this?” Old Madam Huo questioned coldly.
Although the old lady’s questioning tone was filled with anger, it sounded like a life-saving medicine to Lu Yue and Gong Yue.
The two of them looked at Old Madam Huo with bright eyes, hoping that Old Madam Huo would get angry and cancel these punishments as an elder. They really couldn’t bring themselves to pour wine for everyone present, especially those with lower status than them.
They did not want to be nailed to the pillar of shame tonight and become the laughing stock of others in the future.
While the two of them were looking forward to it, Old Madam Huo said in a low voice, “It’s just that this bet can be considered a promise. You can’t go back on your word. However, you can only use me as a raft to bet this once. There won’t be a next time!”
As soon as she said this, Huo Ge couldn’t help but laugh.
How was his Grandma stopping the bet? She was clearly standing up for Lin Yin to prevent Lu Yue and Gong Yue from going back on their word.
It had to be said that his Grandma had a bad taste.
Everyone’s gaze landed on Lu Yue and Gong Yue. It seemed like they would be able to drink the wine personally poured by the eldest daughter of the Lu Family and the second daughter of the Gong Family tonight.
Hou Min glanced at Lin Yin sharply and said to her two sisters beside her, “The two of you are closer to Lin Yin’s age. If you have time, hang around with her more.
She was a young lady with no status and was accompanied by the three Mu brothers. She was wearing a gown made by that person from the Wei family and the jewelry she was wearing was expensive. Lu Ming actually saw her in a different light. Now that even Old Madam Huo was treating her so intimately, there must be something wrong.
Hou Wan and Hou Ying did not know why their sister would tell them this, but it was not impossible for them to interact with Lin Yin.
After all, their idol had called Lin Yin Sister just now, so they couldn’t wait to interact more with her.
Wen Ying twisted her fingers at the side and said hatefully, “This Lin Yin is really lucky. She can win the Grandma’s favor with just her face.”
Wen Xi did not think so. She turned to look at Wen Ying. “Lu Ming warned our
Wen Family because of her?”
Wen Ying nodded. “That’s her! She’s a vixen. So what if she’s good-looking?!”
Wen Ying thought that her sister would speak up for her, but Wen Xi looked at her sister calmly and said, “Sometimes, being good-looking is indeed a little amazing. Besides, she’s not just good-looking. Wen Ying, don’t provoke Lin Yin in the future, understand?”
Wen Ying widened her eyes and asked Wen Xi, “Are you my biological sister? I was scolded badly by Dad because of Lin Yin. It’s fine if you don’t stand up for me, but why are you warning me now?”
Wen Xi put away her usual kind expressions towards Wen Ying and whispered seriously, “Wen Ying, you’re no longer a child. The world of adults is not just about liking and hating people, understand? If you still don’t understand, I don’t mind cutting off all your business for the next few days and letting you think about it at home.. When you figure it out then you can go back to work!”
