Accompanied by laughter that sounded like the clash of ice crystals, the girl spoke, urging Feng Rujiao not to let her dignity shatter. Yet, she had already trampled Feng Rujiao's face into the mud.
Feng Rujiao, no longer maintaining her usual amiable and gentle demeanor, sharply retorted, "So, should I thank you for this? You might as well clarify whether you have your eyes on Nie Zhui or Nie Xi."
The crowd couldn't help but murmur amongst themselves. They had sensed the tension earlier; it seemed Feng Rujiao believed that Nie Xi and Yun Zhi Yue were a couple, which was why she had organized the banquet. Now, with Yun Zhi Yue's current posture, it was evident that she was involved with Nie Zhui.
Looking at her wrapped around the arms of both men, what they initially thought was an attempt to assert her position as the matriarch of the Nie Family now took on a different meaning. Everyone knew that Nie Xi was not Nie Zhui's biological child; this was common knowledge. No one dared to gossip too much about it, but if Yun Zhi Yue were to play such games, it would certainly invite criticism.
Under the scrutiny of so many curious eyes, Yun Zhi Yue remained unfazed. With Ye Lian backing her up, there was no need for her to pretend to be a pitiful victim; she decided to go all out.
With a look of feigned surprise, she exclaimed, "Jiao Jiao, what are you thinking? Oh my! You can't possibly think I have feelings for your future husband and stepson? That's too much! What kind of thought is that?"
"I'm just looking out for you! I intended to communicate well with them and give you your freedom. We are good friends; how could I possibly trample on your future? You are being unreasonable to think that way!"
Yun Zhi Yue seemed to feel deeply wronged, her eyes reddening as she lowered her head to wipe away tears while choking back sobs.
Nie Xi quickly handed her a tissue, his face filled with concern mixed with irritation. "Ru Jiao, you're going too far! How can you treat a friend like this?"
"My dad doesn't approve of you, but you can't drag others into this mess. Luckily you didn't join the Nie Family; otherwise, how would I live as an unloved child?"
As he spoke, his own eyes began to glisten with tears as he embraced Yun Zhi Yue and buried his face in her chest, crying heartily.
Yun Zhi Yue froze in her sobbing; she was wearing a strapless gown, and Nie Xi's lips were pressed against her chest.
The crowd observed: the banquet was filled with fragrant tea, yet everyone felt their eyes burning from the scene unfolding before them.
Old Master Nie's eyelids twitched in disbelief at what was happening. What on earth is going on here?
"Nie Xi, stop crying! What kind of behavior is this? If it's a misunderstanding, then let's clear it up and move on. You're already grown up; your dad is getting married and you don't have to tag along. Your future won't be affected."
Old Master Nie tried to salvage the atmosphere. The guests felt obliged to maintain appearances; this farce could at least be passed off as a misunderstanding. How they would handle things privately was another matter altogether.
Seeing this unfold, Ye Lian prepared to leave. "Commander Cheng, Old Master Nie, I still have matters to attend to over there. I'll take my leave first."
Commander Cheng glanced at his own grandson who was still holding onto someone and smiled warmly. "Don't worry; this old man will keep an eye on things and won't let anyone bully you."
After thanking him, Ye Lian walked over to Yun Zhi Yue and wiped away her tears gently before giving her head a comforting rub before leaving—acting every bit the good older brother.
This fellow was nothing more than the embodiment of rules, devoid of any meaningful emotions; even in a performance, she couldn't discern a flaw.
Perhaps it was because Ye Lian's status was too high that the crowd found it difficult to act. Now that Ye Lian had left, many were suddenly interested in Yun Zhi Yue, or more precisely, in Yun Hang.
It didn't matter whether they understood or not; what mattered most was that Ye Lian stood behind them. The rise of Yun Hang was inevitable, and even if the Feng Family was reluctant, no family could afford to confront the regime head-on.
This was the prevailing sentiment among the majority, prompting them to rush forward to greet Yun Zhi Yue and showcase their connections in the aviation industry.
