Tang Yutong snorted disdainfully and looked out the window at the receding scenery. As long as it could disgust Mo Jin, why not do it?
Invitations were required to enter the venue of the charity banquet. Tang Yutong was forced to change into a light ink-colored dress. The fishtail skirt tightly wrapped around her legs, leaving no room for movement.
"Mr. Mo, Mrs. Mo is inside." The attentive lobby manager personally came out to greet them, but Tang Yutong was not pleased.
His large hand restrained her waist, making it difficult for her to breathe. Tang Lixue gritted her teeth but stubbornly refused to say a word. The man beside her looked at her like this, and his gloomy face softened a bit. She was really a disobedient woman...
The lively atmosphere in the hall came to a momentary halt as they entered. "Mrs. Mo, smile," Mo Jin surveyed the crowd, and the hand circling Tang Yutong's waist loosened slightly.
You're ruthless! Tang Yutong pursed her lips and had no intention of cooperating.
The Mo family's acquisition of the Tang Group was no longer a secret. Everyone present was astute, but that did not mean they would not secretly make fun of them.
On the second-floor terrace, Tang Jinyu looked at Tang Yutong in Mo Jin's arms with a playful expression. "So she's Mrs. Mo."
How interesting.
For the whole night, Tang Yutong stayed by Mo Jin's side, never leaving his side. She listened to the flattering words in her ear and just wanted to sneer. These old things ran away fast enough when the Tang family was in trouble. Now they had the nerve to come up and praise her for marrying well and having good fortune?
Halfway through the banquet, Tang Yutong could barely hold on and was leaning half of her body on Mo Jin's. She couldn't bear the discomfort of wearing such narrow high heels, and her ankles were about to snap...
"What's wrong, can't handle it?" A ticklish sensation came from her ear, and Tang Yutong turned her cheek away, too tired to continue playing mind games with Mo Jin.
"Beg me, and I'll let you rest."
Mo Jin seemed to be enjoying himself and his hand went up, feeling the woman in his arms tremble, a wicked smile on his face.
Tang Yutong wanted to roll her eyes but simply pushed away Mo Jin's hand. Their interaction was extremely ambiguous in the eyes of others.
After performing all night, Tang Yutong had had enough. She endured the pain and spoke in a hoarse voice, "I need to go to the bathroom."
Without waiting for Mo Jin's permission, Tang Yutong walked awkwardly towards the backyard.
Mo Jin's brown eyes carried a hint of amusement. She was going to the bathroom in the backyard? Her excuse was too lame...
Tang Yutong sat on a stone bench, examining the red marks left by her high heels, her thoughts drifting far away.
That was during the years when she was still in the Tang family, not yet fallen. She followed her father to attend banquets, never having to deal with these business matters or worry about offending anyone. She had to be careful in everything she did.
The thought made Tang Yutong's nose sour.
"You're disturbing me."
The sudden voice startled Tang Yutong, and she looked around to see a man standing on the second-floor terrace.
The darkness highlighted the man's originally cold and hard face, adding a touch of cruelty.
Tang Yutong narrowed her eyes to see the man on the terrace. Wasn't he the man she almost bumped into last time? What a coincidence!
"This isn't your territory. Is having money really that great?" Tang Yutong looked up and down at the man in front of her. Hmm, this brand of suit sells for over a hundred thousand overseas. But now that she was carrying the title of Mrs. Mo, Tang Yutong thought of Mo Jin's black face and made up her mind not to back down. "No matter what, I was here first, and you've also disturbed me. I'm admiring the moon!"
The dark clouds above were not giving face and just happened to cover the moon. Tang Yutong felt as if a crow had flown over her head.
Tang Jinyu still looked indifferent, with a hint of coldness. "Unreasonable woman."
Looking for a fight?
Tang Yutong stood up, lifted her skirt, and raised her head. She hated it when people acted like they were being reasonable when they weren't!
Bah!
"Hey, you're so awesome, why don't you stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?" Tang Yutong wasn't out of breath yet, and another person came to pick a fight. She spoke in a confrontational tone, "Don't think that wearing an expensive suit makes you a person."
Tang Yutong finished her words in one breath and felt much better. She didn't care about the man upstairs who had turned pale, and just lifted her skirt and walked away.
Upstairs, the driver who had just come to report to Tang Jinyu saw this scene and quickly retreated.
This woman actually confronted the young master twice in public!
Tang Yutong strolled over to the dessert area and grabbed a few pieces of mango pastry to eat. She was so hungry from squeezing into the old dress.
Inhumane Mo Jin!
After finishing her snack, she went to the restroom. Just as she came out, she ran into Tang Lixue. Tang Yutong shook her wrist and pretended not to see her.
Tang Lixue was intentionally waiting for Tang Yutong. She had gone to great lengths to get the invitation, but could only watch as Tang Yutong shone brightly. A hint of ferocity flashed across Tang Lixue's face, but was quickly concealed.
"Sister, even if you and your brother-in-law don't get along, the Mo family is the one who acquired our family from behind. How could you agree to attend this kind of banquet?" Tang Lixue was indignant and stood in front of Tang Yutong, not letting her leave.
Tang Yutong blinked her eyes twice at the words, "Who told you that?"
"Huh?" Tang Lixue was a little caught off guard.
"I'm asking you who told you that Mo Jin and I don't get along?" Tang Yutong wiped her palms and backs of her hands with a few pieces of paper, not letting go of any water droplets. "Tang Lixue, I tolerate you spreading rumors in the Mo family, but that doesn't mean I will indulge you blindly."
Tang Yutong's tone was flat, but a warning could be heard. "Also, don't talk about our family..."
Tang Lixue looked at Tang Yutong's expression, which suddenly became solemn. She heard her say, "I have never acknowledged that we are related."
As early as when He Muyun brought Tang Lixue into the Tang family, Tang Yutong, although still young, had already seen through the mother and daughter's treacherous faces. But fortunately, her father had protected her well, and her identity as the Tang family's young lady had never been shaken!
Tang Yutong turned and left without wasting any more words with Tang Lixue. The only reason she tolerated Tang Lixue's arrogance in front of her was because of her late father...
In the hall, Mo Jin searched for someone for a long time. Just as he was about to ask Ye Nan to look for the person, he saw Tang Yutong walking out of the restroom with a displeased expression on her face.
Mo Jin stared at Tang Yutong's tightly clenched fists and pursed his lips. Perhaps she didn't even realize this small gesture herself? Every time she was unhappy, she would clench her fists tightly. What happened this time?
