Chapter 229 Not satisfied? Let them say it again.
Chapter 229 Not satisfied? Let them say it again.
Yun Yao glanced coldly at Gu Huixin, who was still sobbing.
Did I ask you? Shut up.
Gu Huixin was filled with disbelief, wondering how Yun Yao dared to be so presumptuous. But now that the people from the ancient martial arts family were here, she didn't have to do anything; she could just play the victim and reap the benefits.
Just as she was about to complain, she turned around and saw that Gu Chen and the others had already stood up from their seats.
"Ancient, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Chen and his group walked towards Yun Yao.
He was secretly delighted and couldn't hide his excitement.
Mo Peichen, with a serious expression, touched his nose and gently patted Chen Dong, who was tense.
"Alright, let's not fight today."
"why?"
"What do you think?" Mo Peichen looked at the woman in the hall who was a match for a thousand troops.
Just as Gu Huixin was feeling excited, Gu Chen and his group stopped in front of Yun Yao.
Yun Yao looked at them calmly, but her eyes held a mixture of dissatisfaction and anger.
"Apologize." Yun Yao was too lazy to waste words with them and pointed at Mo Peichen and the other man.
Mo Peichen, who had just sat down, froze: "..." He didn't even dare to think about having these big shots apologize to him and Chen Dong. There was absolutely no need for that! He wanted to live a couple more years!
"Yun Yao, what are you standing there for? If you want to apologize, why don't you hurry up?" Gu Huixin's sharp and piercing voice rang out. She thought Yun Yao had backed down and wanted to apologize to the people from the ancient martial arts family.
But then something happened that left Gu Huixin speechless.
"I'm sorry!" A deafening voice rang out from the hall.
I'm...I'm sorry?
Gu Huixin nearly fell off her seat.
The apology was made, but why was it the people from the ancient martial arts family who apologized to Mo Peichen and the others?
Yun Yao didn't care what others thought. She glared fiercely at Gu Chen and the others before looking at Mo Peichen.
"Are you satisfied? If not, have them say it again."
Yun Yao's tone at this moment was as casual as if she were asking what she had for lunch.
Mo Peichen was also somewhat uneasy.
"Very...satisfied, extremely satisfied."
Gu Chen looked somewhat embarrassed, his eyes darting away.
Yun Yao didn't bother with these old men who were all quite old and still caused her trouble. She walked past them and headed straight for the first seat.
Gu Huixin stared blankly as Yun Yao passed by right under her nose, completely forgetting to speak.
Why isn't everything going as I expected?
Yun Yao, that bitch! What is her relationship with the ancient martial arts family? Why is the high and mighty ancient martial arts family so obedient to her?
Su Yuchen looked at the haughty woman sitting in the head seat. She was wearing a tailored suit from the same collection as him, looking capable and appropriate.
Unconsciously, a soft light appeared in Su Yuchen's eyes.
Yun Yao noticed Su Yuchen's blatant and obvious gaze, and was speechless.
He definitely wore those clothes on purpose!
These are clearly matching couple outfits!
Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken so long to get down here!
Su Yuchen! He's such a scheming and ruthless man!
Their flirtatious exchanges were so obvious that many people present were fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
Gu Chen was also at his wit's end. He looked at Su Yuchen sitting there, and then at Yun Yao who looked relaxed and at ease.
"Miss Yun, and who is this gentleman?"
Yun Yao refused to answer the question and remained silent.
The light in Su Yuchen's eyes dimmed for a moment, but when he looked up again, he had an arrogant expression on his face.
"Old Gu has keen insight; can't you tell from our attire?" Su Yuchen said unhurriedly.
Sure enough, the moment he finished speaking, everyone's attention turned to their clothes.
Yun Yao: "..." Su Yuchen!
Gu Chen was increasingly shocked as he looked at it, nodding repeatedly.
"That's it!"
Unable to vent her anger, Yun Yao could only force a smile and nod slightly.
"They're a perfect match, a very perfect match!" Gu Chen exclaimed sincerely. He had been so dissatisfied with Su Yuchen before, but now he found him much more pleasing to the eye.
Su Yuchen looked at Yun Yao's restrained expression and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
“I think so too,” Su Yuchen said quietly.
Yun Yao was about to explode. When did this man's flirting skills become so amazing after just a few days?
"Ahem, Gu Chen, what kind of grudge do you have against him that you would go to such lengths?" Yun Yao quickly changed the subject.
At this point, Gu Chen's smile froze on his face.
"Ha, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! We've got it wrong, the flood has blown away the Dragon King Temple, we're all family and we don't recognize each other!"
Since that's the case, Yun Yao didn't press the matter further.
"Alright, now that everything's been explained, you can continue. I'll be leaving now." Yun Yao said, then stood up.
Judging from Gu Huixin's appearance, she probably isn't in the mood to cause trouble today, so Yun Yao is just wasting her time here.
Seeing Yun Yao about to leave, Gu Chen and Ouyang Xing exchanged a glance, both seeing the same answer in each other's eyes.
"Miss Yun, please wait a moment!" Gu Chen called out to Yun Yao.
Yun Yao looked at them in confusion, but an ominous premonition rose in her heart.
"I, Gu Chen, hereby declare that from this day forward, Miss Yun Yao will be an honored guest of our Guwu family, and will be under the protection of our Guwu family for life. Anyone who offends her will be an enemy of all Guwu families!"
as predicted!
Yun Yao's lips twitched, her face full of speechlessness.
Who gave these silly kids the illusion that I need the protection of an ancient martial arts family?
"Um, Gu Chen, you..."
"No need to say more, this is the sentiment of all of us. Whether you agree or not, what's said is said, and we won't take it back!" Gu Chen said resolutely.
Yun Yao: "..." That's really not what she meant.
Oh well, as long as they're happy, let them be.
Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Yun Yao nodded stiffly.
Only Su Yuchen kept his eyes on her the entire time.
……
The welcome banquet turned into a huge blunder, and everyone except Yun Yao left disappointed.
Some rumors also spread online, but... they were all just comments expressing envy of Yun Yao.
After all, the members of the ancient martial arts families are still in the capital. Who would dare to defy the law?
To be favored by an ancient martial arts family is a blessing that takes several lifetimes to attain.
Ordinary people might think this way, but for the four great families, Yun Yao's protection by an ancient martial arts family is definitely a major concern!
The combined power of Yun Yao and Su Yuchen is enough to make them wary. Now, an even more domineering and powerful ancient martial arts family has intervened. Once the relationship between the three families matures, where will the status of the four great families in China be?
Led by Gu Huixin, everyone looked worried and sighed repeatedly.
"Huixin, what are we going to do now? Yun Yao has the backing of an ancient martial arts family. How can we touch them? Wouldn't Su Yuchen be even more powerful?" Xue Haoqian shook his head.
Gu Huixin was distracted, her mind filled with the news she had just received that her company was being contested for resources by W International.
"Huixin?" Xue Haoqian asked when he saw her lost in thought.
"Yes, I'm listening!" Gu Huixin snapped back to reality, her eyes filled with ruthlessness.
"I don't know how that little slut Yun Yao managed to climb up such a high branch, but this is just the beginning of their relationship, so it's unlikely to be stable. Once the people from the ancient martial arts family leave, and the emperor is far away, we can eliminate this threat forever," Gu Huixin said viciously.
