However, Tang Jinyu was the one who really puzzled Tang Yutong. They had met before, so why was he pretending to be a stranger? She couldn't help but sneer in her heart. With a meaningful glance at Tang Jinyu, she thought to herself, "He's really good at pretending."
"I'm not sure I understand what you mean, Mr. Mo," Tang Jinyu said, glancing at Tang Yutong, who was innocently looking down beside him. She was no innocent little rabbit.
When two masters face off, words are unnecessary. Tang Jinyu and Mo Jin silently exchanged glances, their minds racing with thoughts. Despite their inner turmoil, they maintained a calm demeanor and lightly clinked their glasses together.
As Tang Jinyu turned away, his gaze remained fixed on Tang Yutong. This scene was observed by Tang Lixue, who had been standing in the corner the whole time.
She bit her lip in anger, not even noticing the drop of blood that trickled down her chin. "Why do I have to be the one who's treated like a stray dog, while you, dressed in your fancy clothes, have become Mo Jin's wife standing by his side? All of this could have been mine!"
If it weren't for the high-quality glass, Tang Lixue's grip would have shattered it to pieces. After Tang Yutong left, Tang Lixue's eyes lit up with opportunity as she slowly walked over to her and blocked her path. "Oh, what a surprise to see you here. I never expected to run into you in this place."
Turning her head, Tang Yutong saw her and her eyes trembled slightly before becoming cold and deep. "Your appearance is also surprising to me. I never thought I'd run into you here. I wonder who you've come to seduce this time."
Tang Yutong had nothing to say to Tang Lixue and couldn't be bothered to engage with her.
Turning around, she was about to leave, but Tang Lixue wouldn't let her go so easily: "Hehe, you said I seduced someone else, but that's just my ability. I can seduce someone else, unlike you who seems to have come alone this time. Where's your partner? Did he abandon you? And then, like me, you came here to fish for a wealthy husband."
Frowning, Tang Yutong retorted, "I'm not like you. Don't judge others by your own actions. Your despicable methods are probably not used by anyone else."
Being called "despicable", Tang Lixue was not angry, but said, "Yes, I am despicable. Now it seems that I am better than you. I don't even have a male companion. It's really funny."
"You..." Being ridiculed like this, Tang Yutong couldn't find Mo Jin, so she had to pull a random person from the side.
Before that person could react, she said to Tang Lixue, "Who said I don't even have a male companion this time? Look, isn't this one? He may be more handsome than any man you've been with, and he's very wealthy. This is a wealthy husband that you can never catch."
Biting her lip, Tang Lixue pretended to be angry, "Hmph, what are you proud of? Just because he's handsome and rich? I think this man won't last long with you either. He just wants to play with you and won't bother with you anymore, just like Mo Jin."
"That's not for you to decide. Our situation now doesn't require your opinion. And you should worry about yourself first. I think you can't even catch a wealthy husband now with your family background. At most, you can only be someone's mistress. I advise you not to embarrass yourself here and focus on yourself."
Tang Jinyu looked at the woman next to him, who was still unaware, and wanted to struggle, but was pulled tighter by Tang Yutong. Tang Lixue raised her eyebrows and noticed a figure, and smiled slightly, "Don't be too happy too soon. The man next to you, you can tell at a glance that he doesn't really want to stand with you. Maybe you just pulled a random person to talk to me."
Seeing that she didn't believe her, Tang Yutong became anxious. Finally, she looked at the man next to her and saw that Mo Jin was not there. She leaned against the man with courage, "You don't believe me. Let me tell you, this male companion next to me is very good to me. The men you find can't compare to him. I advise you not to embarrass yourself here."
After she finished speaking, Tang Lixue had almost had enough and pretended to be angry, stomping her foot and leaving.
After she left, Tang Yutong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the man's embrace, her face full of apology, "I'm sorry, sir. I had to do that just now. It may have been a bit offensive to you. Please don't mind."
When she raised her head to speak, she suddenly froze when she saw that it was Tang Jinyu, "How could it be you? How did I pull you over?"
Tang Jinyu shrugged innocently, "How would I know? You just pulled me over as a shield. Weren't you using me as a shield just now? Why are you suddenly pretending not to know me?"
Tang Yutong pursed her lips, feeling embarrassed, "I didn't expect it to be you. If I knew it was you, I wouldn't have pulled you over. I'd rather argue with her."
"Do I really suck that much? You'd rather argue with her than use me as a shield," she said.
"What do you think? When you said those things to me earlier, you should have known I would dislike you. Anyway, since you've helped me, thank you. I have to go now," he replied.
She was about to leave without looking back, but Tang Jinyu blocked her way. "What? Are you really leaving just like that? That's not very nice of you," he said.
"What else do you want? Do you want me to chat with you?" Tang Yutong was not happy with Tang Jinyu, and now he was bothering her.
Tang Jinyu smiled and continued, "Yes, why don't you chat with me? I'm bored anyway."
Helpless, Tang Yutong had to chat with him. At this point, she had no idea that their every move and word had been observed by someone behind them. While Tang Jinyu was still happily chatting away, Tang Yutong was answering him with little interest.
