Chapter 678: Gold and Jade
Under the crystal chandelier in the banquet hall, Xia Shumei, under Ye Yingran's questioning, generously showed off her recognized future daughter-in-law Li Chuyue.
She introduced Li Chuyue to Ye Yingran and Ye Yanzhi, her words full of joy and satisfaction.
As she happily introduced Li Chuyue, she smiled and warned several people not to have any ideas about her son anymore.
After Xia Shumei finished her veiled warning, her genuine laughter reached the ears of Ye Yingran, Ye Yanzhi and Xie Ruxue.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yingran showed an expression of surprise and shock, and looked at Li Chuyue in amazement.
Even Ye Yanzhi and Xie Ruxue, who already knew that Li Chuyue was Ou Jinghuan's girlfriend, were shocked.
Ye Yingran was shocked that the woman her husband Ou Dehui had been looking for for a long time actually appeared in front of her.
Ye Yanzhi and Xie Ruxue did not expect that Xia Shumei recognized and liked Li Chuyue so much. They were very surprised.
Especially Xie Ruxue, who had just been lectured, she didn't expect that Li Chuyue didn't show off her identity as Ou Jinghuan's girlfriend like she did last time at Huanxing Shopping Mall.
Instead, it was Ou Jinghuan's mother who was showing off Ou Jinghuan's girlfriend Li Chuyue, and even directly called Li Chuyue "future daughter-in-law"!
She thought Xia Shumei would be as cold to Li Chuyue as she was to her just now.
When Xie Ruxue saw Xia Shumei take the initiative to express her affection for Li Chuyue in front of outsiders, she became jealous of Xia Shumei's liking and preference for Li Chuyue.
She hated Li Chuyue even more for taking away the love that should have been hers, and everything that should have been hers.
After hearing Xia Shumei's introduction of Li Chuyue, she was filled with hatred and stared at Li Chuyue who was smiling happily.
At this moment, Xu Zhishan saw the jealous look in Xie Ruxue's eyes, and she felt particularly refreshed.
While she was shouting in her heart that her aunt was awesome, she was also thinking about revenge for the provocation she had just received, so she smiled and said:
"Hey, look, I was right!
Aunt, you really favor Chuyue. You were satisfied with her before, and now Chuyue has become half your daughter~
It seems that now even I, no! Even my cousin has to stand aside!
If others still insist on moving forward, they really don't know what's good for them!"
Upon hearing this, a trace of guilt flashed in the eyes of Xie Ruxue, Ye Yanzhi and Ye Yingran, and then their expressions darkened.
Xie Ruxue knew that Xu Zhishan said these words deliberately for her to hear. She was so angry that her breathing became rapid and her face turned red.
Whenever Xu Zhishan deliberately angered her, she would subconsciously fight back.
But now the people standing around her were all people who frightened her, so she could only swallow her anger and curse words.
At this time, Ye Yingran was surprised, but also happy that she had finally found Ou Jinghuan's girlfriend. She couldn't wait to tell Ou Dehui.
She wanted to know more about Li Chuyue and tell Ou Dehui, so she ignored Xia Shumei's warning.
She even smiled and simply agreed with Xia Shumei, then turned to look at Li Chuyue and continued to ask curiously:
"What?! Jinghuan's girlfriend! She's so beautiful!
I am Uncle Jinghuan's wife, you can just call me Aunt.
Huh? I remember she was rumored to be Jinghuan's girlfriend a while ago. She seemed to be a very beautiful female celebrity.
Although you are also very beautiful, but that’s not right! Why don’t I remember there is a female celebrity named Chu Yue in China? "
Ye Yingran actually believed the news that came out some time ago, but she also had a trace of doubt in her heart.
Therefore, by asking this question now, if the previous news was false, she could also confirm the identity of Ou Jinghuan's girlfriend.
If the previous news was true, then she could also take the opportunity to stir up trouble and make Ou Jinghuan's current girlfriend dissatisfied.
But before Li Chuyue opened her mouth to explain, Xia Shumei beside her answered for Li Chuyue:
"Oh~ I asked too, and it turns out that the previous information was all misinformed by the staff of Hongxin Group.
They thought Chu Yue was so beautiful, and they all said she looked like a star, so word spread quickly and everyone thought Jing Huan’s girlfriend Chu Yue was a star.
When Xie Ruxue heard Xia Shumei's praise for Li Chuyue, she was so jealous that she clenched her fists and sneered in her heart.
Ye Yanzhi, who had been holding back her anger, suddenly raised her head after hearing Xia Shumei's praise.
Even though she was helpless and disappointed with Xie Ruxue, she was still unwilling to accept it.
So, she quickly rolled her eyes, and then said in a low voice with a hint of sarcasm:
"It's not easy to be a female star nowadays. It's not enough to just be pretty, you have to have good character too!
Otherwise! If your work is not famous yet and you are criticized by netizens every day, it will eventually become an empty vase with a beautiful appearance.
So, I want to remind you that just saying you're like a celebrity is enough! Don't really act like one and spread the word that you're a celebrity. Be careful not to get yourself into trouble!
Hearing this, Li Chuyue raised her cold eyes and looked at Ye Yanzhi. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but she did not respond.
Li Chuyue still did not react at all to these words that implicitly criticized her. She did not care and her expression remained calm.
But Xu Zhishan and Xia Shumei, who were standing on both sides of her, were angry.
Xia Shumei's mood has rarely fluctuated much recently, but she is really angry now.
Although she was angry, she was worried that Li Chuyue would be hurt by the bad words, so she put her hand on Li Chuyue's back to comfort her.
At this time, Xia Shumei, who had been complained by Xie Ruxue not long ago, chose to forgive Xie Ruxue.
But even if Xia Shumei had not asked Ou Jinghuan to help take care of Li Chuyue before, she could not bear to see her future daughter-in-law, whom she had chosen, being belittled like this.
So, she was very dissatisfied with what Ye Yanzhi said, frowned, her eyes became sharp, but with a smile on her lips, she replied:
"Hahaha, I actually think it's a waste for Chu Yue to be a celebrity. She's the daughter of Mr. Li from Honglan Group!
After that, Honglan Group belonged to Chu Yue, and she didn't need to go out and make money like a star.
If... Chu Yue likes to be a female star or wants to make her own career, I will definitely support her!
After all, Chu Yue is beautiful and intelligent, with looks that rival those of a female star, and she has the talent to make it in the business world. As long as she likes it, I'll support her!"
As soon as Xia Shumei finished speaking, Xu Zhishan immediately became furious and said, "I'm not going to give up my life. I ...
"Oh! Auntie, you don't know yet!
Although Chu Yue is a college student like her former classmate Xie Ruxue, no! I forgot that Xie Ruxue had already dropped out of school due to a bullying incident!
Chu Yue should be a college student like me, but Chu Yue has already been the vice president of Honglan Group!
Chu Yue is such a nice and generous person! Xie Ruxue, whom I've known since childhood, has never given me a gift, but Chu Yue just became the vice president and she gave us a few good friends luxury gifts!
As soon as Xu Zhishan finished speaking, Xie Ruxue's face turned completely red, like a cooked lobster.
Xia Shumei's support and Xu Zhishan's endorsement made Xie Ruxue feel helpless and jealous.
Moreover, what she and her mother had been worried about was finally spoken out, which made them angry but they dared not say anything.
Xie Ruxue didn't expect Xia Shumei to defend Li Chuyue so much. Every word she said showed her unconditional support for Li Chuyue.
She never expected that Xu Zhishan, this bitch, would deliberately bring up her bullying in front of Ou Jinghuan's mother.
But what scared her and Ye Yanzhi the most was that Xu Zhishan told her aunt that she and Li Chuyue were classmates.
As expected! Ye Yingran keenly noticed what she had suspected earlier, and she turned to Xie Ruxue and Ye Yanzhi with a smile.
Then, guessing that Ye Yanzhi and Xie Ruxue were hiding something from her, she looked at Li Chuyue with a smile and asked:
"Wow! That's really impressive! Being the vice president of a group is not easy; it requires real talent to get there.
I didn't expect Chuyue to be so outstanding. By the way, when did you and Jinghuan get together?
Jing Huan, why didn't you tell us earlier? If I had a girlfriend as good as you, Chu Yue, I should tell the whole world right away!
Hearing this, Li Chuyue noticed out of the corner of her eye that Xie Ruxue and her mother Ye Yanzhi were looking nervous and glancing at her frantically.
She could clearly feel that Xie Ruxue and Xie's mother Ye Yanzhi were afraid of Ye Yingran, as if they had been worried about something from the beginning.
She thought of Xu Zhishan's reaction when she said Xie Ruxue was her classmate, which was greater than when she talked about the bullying incident.
When she considered Ye Yingran's question, her eyes flashed, and she instantly guessed what the two were worried about, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
