The people who had caused trouble earlier had faces that alternated between red and white.
They had assumed Xia Qingtian was just an ordinary minor celebrity who had somehow sneaked into the Yue family's banquet, and they had intended to use her to boost their own popularity.
Who would have thought they would stumble upon an immovable object they couldn't possibly push aside?!
This was truly a disaster.
"It's a misunderstanding, there must be some misunderstanding here," the two immediately changed their demeanor. "We... well, we didn't mean it like that."
"I don't recall you. Which aristocratic family's daughter are you from in the capital?" Yue Chengfeng wasn't unfamiliar with such scheming and dirty dealings. He asked with a cold expression, "Please show me your invitation."
Upon hearing Yue Chengfeng's question, the faces of the two turned even uglier. They immediately turned to the person who had brought them, their eyes pleading for help.
The other person's expression was noticeably worse. He was merely an obscure descendant from a collateral branch of the Yue family, having been separated from the main line generations ago. Although he benefited from the Yue family's name in business, the connections between the younger generation were not strong.
He had only brought some popular internet celebrities he was currently hanging out with after getting an invitation. Who could have known that while he was borrowing a phone, these two vixen would cause such a huge mess for him?
Deliberately ignoring their pleading gazes, this person decided to pretend he didn't know them.
"If you don't have an invitation, please leave." As soon as Yue Chengfeng finished speaking, the security personnel responsible for the day immediately came over and began to escort the two away.
"No! Mr. Yue! Mr. Yue, please say something!"
"Mr. Yue!"
The two were escorted out of the courtyard, screaming.
"Most of the people here are 'Mr. Yue', who knows who they're calling," Xia Qingtian shook her head, speechless. "If you don't even shout the keywords, it's no wonder you'd be used as pawns by so many people here."
"Perhaps they themselves didn't dare to," Yu Zixuan winked at Xia Qingtian, the corners of her lips curving into a subtle smile.
Even if these two internet celebrities begged for mercy, they probably wouldn't truly dare to call out their sugar daddy to take responsibility. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a matter of being escorted out of the banquet.
"That makes sense too," Xia Qingtian clearly thought of this and chuckled. "Your surname is Yu, you are..."
"Well, in sociology, I'm distantly related to Yu Linwan, I suppose," Yu Zixuan could only shrug and smile. "She's not easy to get along with, is she?"
"You said that, I didn't," Xia Qingtian said, but she extended her thumb, then turned it downwards, making a funny face.
"Heh heh, you're really interesting," Yu Zixuan chuckled.
"Everyone who knows me says that. If being interesting could win awards, I'd probably win a grand slam," Xia Qingtian provocatively raised her eyebrows.
"Seeing you two chatting so happily puts my mind at ease," Yue Chengfeng said with a smile. "You two chat. I'll go see if there's anywhere else I can help."
"Bye, Uncle!" Xia Qingtian waved.
"See you later," Yu Zixuan kissed Yue Chengfeng on the cheek, then casually tidied his collar before stepping back half a step and nodding with satisfaction.
Yue Chengfeng gave a shy smile before turning to leave.
After Yue Chengfeng left, people immediately tried to approach Xia Qingtian to greet her.
Yue Chengfeng's attitude represented the stance of the main Yue family. With this beginning, others naturally wanted to establish a good relationship with Xia Qingtian.
Seeing people approaching Xia Qingtian to chat and mingle, Xia Qingtian seemed to handle it all with ease. Yu Zixuan识相ly withdrew from the social circle, gave Xia Qingtian an "OK" gesture, then turned to leave, heading towards another end of the courtyard.
Xia Qingtian glanced at Yu Zixuan from a distance. She was quite satisfied with this future aunt.
Beautiful, intellectual, elegant, and generous.
Although her surname was Yu, she seemed to be a completely different type from Yu Linwan.
Most importantly, Yue Chengfeng seemed to like her very much.
What Yue Chengfeng liked was the best.
She withdrew her gaze and continued to interact politely with the people who had gathered around her.
She couldn't disgrace the Yue family, nor could she disgrace the Xia family.
On the other side, Yu Zixuan walked through the courtyard, preparing to greet the head of the Yue family. However, as she passed by a decorative rockery, she was called out.
"Yu Zixuan, you're chatting quite happily with that little slut."
If Xia Qingtian were there, she would have recognized that the person speaking was the sharp-tongued, unpleasant woman she had heard earlier by the corridor.
"Auntie Second, you've been here for a while," Yu Zixuan looked at the person in front of her with a faint smile.
"Stop playing dumb. I've known for a long time that you have no good intentions," Yue Lan said coldly. "Yu Linwan, that fake daughter, is an idiot. You, the real daughter, are not much better."
"I don't understand what Auntie Second is talking about," Yu Zixuan said, looking at Yue Lan. "With people coming and going here, Auntie Second, as a collateral member of the Yue family, should watch her words and actions."
"You! Don't you threaten me!" Yue Lan's expression was tough, but her voice had clearly softened slightly. "In short, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Even if you want to curry favor with the Yue family, don't even think about bullying my son and me!"
"That little bastard Xia Qingtian ruined my son's lineage. Back then, I didn't even know she was the spawn of that bitch Yue Qiyan. Now it seems her wickedness runs deep!"
"If you dare to stop me from avenging my son, I won't let you off either! Do you understand?"
"I understand," Yu Zixuan said with a smile. "Does Auntie Second have anything else?"
It felt like punching a ball of soft cotton. Yue Lan felt a surge of annoyance, but she didn't know how else to cause trouble. Her face was extremely unpleasant, and in the end, she could only offer a weak threat: "I'll be watching you!"
After issuing this warning, Yue Lan turned to leave.
"Auntie Second, how has the person at villa thirteen in Lianxin Garden been lately?" Yu Zixuan asked softly.
"What?" Hearing the address, Yue Lan jolted and abruptly turned to look at Yu Zixuan.
"Although the other party is not to be seen in public, she is carrying my second uncle's child, a descendant of the Yu family," Yu Zixuan looked at Yue Lan and smiled charmingly. "I heard it's a boy. Auntie Second, it's better not to go too far. After all..."
Yu Zixuan glanced up and down at Yue Lan. "Auntie Second, you're past the age of childbearing, and Second Uncle is still in his prime. Yu Yueqiang became incapacitated because he offended the wrong person. He can't just let my Second Uncle be without an heir, can he?"
"You! You!" Yue Lan looked at Yu Zixuan in disbelief.
"If I can send Second Uncle a Yingying, I can send him another Yanyans. As long as a woman can give birth, Second Uncle can have as many as he wants. You can guard against one, but you probably can't guard against ten," Yu Zixuan said, smiling at Yue Lan. "Auntie Second, in the future, please keep trying hard~"
After saying this, Yu Zixuan walked straight past Yue Lan and away, enraging Yue Lan to the point where her face turned liver-colored.
