The banquet was about to start when Third Young Master Jun arrived fashionably late with Ye Lu.
Congratulations echoed around them, although tinged with discomfort. After all, Third Young Master Jun's last failed wedding and the imprisonment of his fiancee were not far in the past. And here he was, arm in arm with the woman who had disrupted those very nuptials, the unwed mother of his child. Those in attendance who had been at the wedding viewed Ye Lu with disdain, considering her a homewrecker who had secured her status through pregnancy.
Furthermore, although she bore his child, Ye Lu had no formal connection to Third Young Master Jun. Thus, they felt awkward to congratulate her, uncertain how to address her correctly.
What infuriated them even more was Ye Lu's haughtiness. She disregarded their attempts at flattery, which annoyed them greatly.
