Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 240 Encountering a Strange Person at the Banquet (2)

Emerging from the restroom, Yan Zuozuo realized she had lost control. She couldn't appear before Chi Moqing like this, or he would definitely become suspicious. Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down before casually walking towards the banquet hall.

Chi Moqing seemed to have finished her business. She found a corner to sit down and slowly drank a glass of juice.

"President Chi, are you still not done with your work?" Fisher came over with a glass of red wine, a slow smile playing on his lips.

Yan Zuozuo nodded and glanced at Chi Moqing, who was talking to someone not far away. Even in such an elite gathering, he was such a dazzling presence, like a noble god, radiating light.

"Isn't the director with Miss Tong?" Yan Zuozuo asked with an uncomfortable smile, noticing Fisher's overly intense gaze.

Fisher sat opposite her, swirling the red wine in his glass, his smile captivating. "She doesn't need me to keep her company. There's an old Chinese saying... well, her real intention isn't in the wine; I'm just an accessory..."

"The director is joking again." Yan Zuozuo spotted Tong Shili's elegant figure in the crowd. She was surrounded by men of different styles, yet she handled them with ease. Yan Zuozuo smiled wryly, thinking that this was something she would never learn in her lifetime.

If a sophisticated and charming woman like this were by Chi Moqing's side, it would definitely be helpful to his career and life. The more she discovers the good qualities of other women, the more inferior she feels.

Throughout their marriage, aside from being a burden, she felt she hadn't done anything for him. Thinking this, Yan Zuozuo felt even more bitter, and her gaze towards Chi Moqing became sorrowful.

Qin Yun came with Meng Xinyu, and she stood not far from Fisher. However, Fisher didn't seem to notice her; his attention was entirely focused on Yan Zuozuo. She stood there, her face ashen, her hand gripping the wine glass tightly, her eyes filled with a vicious hatred, as if she wanted to tear Yan Zuozuo apart.

Meng Xinyu's expression wasn't much better. The invitation was personally delivered to her by Ou Luhan, but she had been there for a long time and hadn't seen him appear. A hint of annoyance appeared on her face.

The banquet was extremely luxurious, with bright lights, clinking glasses, and endless revelry.

Meng Xinyu seemed to have finally found a scapegoat. She narrowed her eyes and stared at Yan Zuozuo, who was sitting with Fisher.

Pure and refined, noble and elegant, a beauty of unparalleled grace. The more breathtakingly beautiful Yan Zuozuo was, the more jealous she became. She wished she could find a knife and slash her face, which was always seducing men.

"Yan Zuozuo, you've got some nerve! My cousin's right here and you're still flirting with him. Should I admire you or pity you?" Meng Xinyu's sharp voice rang out.

She went to great lengths to seduce Ou Luhan tonight. Wearing a black, deep-V low-cut dress, her ample bosom was subtly revealed, and every gesture she made exuded charm and allure.

Yan Zuozuo glanced at her but didn't say anything. Meng Xinyu, on the other hand, didn't hold back at all and seemed to be addicted to her sarcastic remarks. "Or did you already know that my cousin would leave you and that you'd already be in a hurry to find someone else?" She covered her mouth and chuckled. "You really are a vixen who can't stand being alone. My cousin must have been blind to have fallen for you."

Meng Xinyu thought Yan Zuozuo was afraid she would expose her affairs, which was why she didn't dare to speak. She became even more arrogant, "If you know what's good for you, I advise you to leave my cousin on your own initiative, or you'll be kicked out, which would be embarrassing."

Yan Zuozuo originally didn't intend to pay attention to her; arguing with someone at a banquet is very impolite. But Meng Xinyu wouldn't stop, so she stood up with a faint smile, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, "Cousin, what are you muttering to yourself over there? Could it be that you couldn't win over Young Master Ou and got a mental breakdown? Tsk tsk, how pitiful."

Meng Xinyu's face changed instantly, turning bright red. All her words couldn't compare to Yan Zuozuo's sharp, precise, and ruthless remark, which pierced straight to the heart. She gritted her teeth, "What are you pretending to be ignorant of? You think you don't know what I'm saying?" She sneered, "Don't push your luck. Believe me, I'll expose your shameful secrets to the world right now."

She spoke through gritted teeth, but her voice was very soft, and only two or three people could hear her, so it didn't cause a commotion.

Fisher's face darkened. This Meng Xinyu was truly fearless, daring to be so arrogant and presumptuous in front of him. He opened his mouth, just about to speak, when he saw Yan Zuozuo say with a smile, "I also want to say this to you, cousin. How about we form a group and expose each other, seeing whose news is more sensational?"

A calm, nonchalant voice slapped Meng Xinyu hard across the face. Her expression changed drastically, and she reached out to hit him, but her hand was quickly grabbed by a pair of strong hands.

Fisher glared at her with a dark expression, his sharp, eagle-like eyes now filled with malice. If it weren't for the fact that she was Chi Moqing's cousin, he would have slapped her long ago.

"This is Young Master Ou's birthday banquet. If Miss Meng doesn't want to embarrass herself here, she'd better stop now!"

Meng Xinyu stiffened, glaring fiercely at Fisher. "You should be protecting Qin Yun, not this woman who flirts with everyone. The one who should know when to stop is the director!"

Fisher's sharp gaze fell on Qin Yun, who stood silently to the side. He narrowed his dangerous eyes. "Miss Qin, do you think so too?" His tone was mocking. "I've borne the blame for Miss Qin for so many years. Shouldn't I clear my name? What do you think, Miss Qin?"

Qin Yun trembled and quickly tugged at Meng Xinyu, "This is Young Master Ou's birthday banquet, let's not cause trouble. Since Young Master Ou invited you, I'll go find him now..."

Meng Xinyu's eyes widened, and she unconsciously raised her voice, "I'm the one who stood up for you, and you're stopping me? Have you lost your mind?"

The surrounding guests all looked over, and Qin Yun wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. She lowered her voice and said, "I'll explain to you later. Let's go first."

"What do you mean 'later' or 'later'? Let's get this straight now and expose this woman's true colors!" Meng Xinyu suddenly started shouting, seemingly out of nowhere.

"Whoever is causing trouble at my banquet, should I have security escort them out?" Ou Luhan walked over and warned.

Hearing his voice, Meng Xinyu stiffened, then immediately turned around and put on a fawning expression. "Young Master Ou, you've finally appeared! We've been looking for you for ages, and we were just asking my cousin-in-law where you were." She looked at Yan Zuozuo with a smile. "Cousin-in-law, right?"

Meng Xinyu displayed her knowledgeable, gentle, and beautiful side. She was confident that as long as Young Master Ou noticed her, he would never escape her grasp!

Yan Zuozuo smiled but remained silent, coldly watching Meng Xinyu talk to herself.

Seeing that Yan Zuozuo was not giving her face, Meng Xinyu was immediately unhappy. Regardless of whether Ou Luhan was willing or not, she leaned over, hugged his arm, and laughed, "Young Master Ou, Yan Zuozuo is my cousin-in-law, you should know that, right? She likes to flirt with other women and play around. Don't be fooled by her, or you'll have a headache when you can't get rid of her."

Yan Zuozuo sneered, looking at Meng Xinyu's fawning face. She really couldn't understand how she could be so shameless. A person should know their own limitations; clearly, this cousin didn't understand the meaning of that saying.

“You only see others as yourself, just like Miss Meng shamelessly leaning against me now. That’s why you think everyone else is like you.” Ou Luhan pushed her away with disgust. “I invited you here because you’re so eager to marry a rich man, not to cause trouble. If Miss Meng doesn’t behave herself, I don’t mind having security come in and ask you to leave!”

"I..." Meng Xinyu was so humiliated that she couldn't say a word, and stood there with an embarrassed expression.

"Overestimating yourself!" Ou Luhan sneered. "Instead of being jealous of others and gossiping here, you might as well find a place to kill yourself and be reincarnated, instead of making a fool of yourself here!"

A murmur arose around them, occasionally punctuated by a woman's soft, mocking laughter.

Meng Xinyu was thoroughly humiliated by Ou Luhan's sarcasm. The disdainful glances of others were fixed on her, and she was so ashamed she wanted to disappear into a hole in the ground. Originally, she had intended to embarrass Yan Zuozuo, but instead, she had been cruelly mocked by Ou Luhan and made a laughingstock of herself. She gritted her teeth in hatred, veins bulging on her forehead.

"Have you embarrassed yourself enough?" Suddenly, a chilling voice rang out. Chi Moqing walked over with an icy expression, protectively putting his arm around Yan Zuozuo's waist, and looked at Meng Xinyu with a cold gaze. "Apologize to my wife!"

If Meng Xinyu hadn't gone too far, Chi Moqing would have spared her some face out of consideration for their kinship. But now it seems this cousin has no idea when to stop, so he shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.

Meng Xinyu stared in astonishment, never expecting Chi Moqing to embarrass her in public. She glared at him, "Cousin, are you kidding me? This woman is a womanizer, she cheated on you, and you're still defending her?"

Meng Xinyu raised her voice, sounding just like a shrew!

Chi Moqing was completely enraged by her. He exuded a chilling gloom. No matter who the other party was, he would not show any mercy for daring to bully his wife!

He narrowed his eyes: "Are you going to apologize to my wife now, or wait for the court summons?"

"You want to sue me? I'm your cousin! This bitch is the outsider! Cousin, have you lost your mind?" Meng Xinyu was furious and started to speak recklessly. She never expected Chi Moqing to treat her like this. Where was her cousin who used to love and pamper her? It must be this bitch Yan Zuozuo who corrupted her cousin.

She glared at Yan Zuozuo with resentment: "I can't apologize to this bitch!"

"Very well!" Chi Moqing looked at Meng Xinyu with a gloomy expression. "Then you can wait for the court summons. I want you to compensate me double for all the grievances my wife suffered today!" He spoke ruthlessly, closing in on Meng Xinyu step by step. "Also, cousin, remember one thing I said: to me, my wife is family, and as for you... you're just an outsider!"

Meng Xinyu stared in astonishment at Chi Moqing's gloomy face, and couldn't help but shiver. She knew her cousin was serious this time, and suddenly felt a wave of fear.
