He Xingjian chuckled.

"You're all so kind! After all, he saved my cousin by accident, so I certainly won't treat him unfairly."

"But... Doctor Ye, please go back. This is definitely not the place for you!"

Ye Yan's expression remained unchanged as he responded indifferently.

"This is the Tang family. I'm invited by Miss Tang..."

Before he could finish, He Xingjian frowned and interrupted him.

"Why, not enough money? Bring me another check for one million!"

The onlookers were talking about it in a flurry, secretly mocking Ye Yan for being greedy and taking advantage of others, and for his ugly eating habits.

Those who came to the banquet today are all wealthy and prominent families.

As a doctor, he came forward on his own initiative, so it was obvious what his intention was.

Tang Yuerou couldn't bear it any longer: "Enough! Cousin, don't go too far, put away your check!"

"Ye Yan isn't the type of person who would repay a favor, and he doesn't care about money. You're insulting him!"

"He's the one I invited, and he's also... my boyfriend!"

She gritted her teeth and grabbed Ye Yan's hand.

Ye Yan was stunned at first, then glanced at Tang Yuerou, only to see determination in her eyes.

Tang Yuerou should be very clear about the impact of announcing that Ye Yan is her boyfriend in front of so many people.

Without the approval of her family and elders, she is under tremendous pressure and will have to face everyone's pointing fingers and all kinds of rumors.

But since Tang Yuerou has already taken ninety-nine steps forward.

Ye Yan would never back down at this moment!

He exerted a little force, held Tang Yuerou's delicate hand tightly, and stood firmly beside her.

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion around.

"Wow! There's something exciting to watch tonight. I heard that the He family is planning to marry Tang Yuerou to the Luo family in the provincial capital..."

"What's Tang Yuerou doing? Isn't this just a slap in the face of the Luo family? The He and Tang families are in trouble this time!"

"He could be a superior person, but he's hanging out with this kind of person... Wait, this is Ye Yan's real purpose, no wonder he doesn't want to owe He Shao anything, he's trying to play the long game and catch a bigger fish!"

"This brat is so cunning. I don't know what tricks he used to trick Tang Yuerou into being so obedient!"

He Xingjian's face instantly turned gloomy.

"Yue Rou, I know Ye Yan really wants to attend this banquet, but there's no need for you to deceive me with such a cheap lie!"

"Okay, stop embarrassing yourself here. I promised to let him attend the party!"

"But we are on different levels after all. I hope he won't regret it!"

He gave a wink and immediately had someone take Tang Yuerou in first.

Tang Yuerou wanted to explain further when Tang Yongan and He Yun walked out of the villa's living room.

"What are you doing? Yuerou, you're finally back, come in! Your grandpa is worried about your health and has been asking to see you for a long time!"

"Doctor Ye... I'll take good care of him! Go ahead, don't keep Grandpa waiting!"

The person who spoke was He Yun. Her eyes were a little gloomy, but there was still a smile on her lips.

Tang Yuerou opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

He Yun frowned: "Why do you become more and more ignorant as you grow older? Don't be so willful!"

"Doctor Ye probably doesn't want everyone to be unhappy because of such a small matter, right?"

Tang Yuerou's heart skipped a beat.

Now is not the time to be tough, otherwise if you mess up tonight's banquet, the whole family will not have a good impression of Ye Yan.

It was even more difficult for them to get their family's approval for their relationship.

Ye Yan smiled and patted Tang Yuerou's shoulder: "You go first, I can handle this!"

Only then was Tang Yuerou pulled into the room by He Yuelian.

The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became a little strange.

"Ye Yan, come here too!"

As soon as Tang Yuerou left, He Yun's face immediately turned dark.

Ye Yan didn't say anything and followed them into the villa and into Tang Yongan's study.

In the study, a middle-aged couple was sitting.

The man was tall and sturdy, with an unconcealable fierceness and roughness on his face.

The woman was quite pretty, covered in jewels and dressed like a noble lady.

These two people are He Xingjian’s parents, He Feng and Luo Meiyin.

He Feng was intimidating without being angry, and looked Ye Yan up and down.

"I don't know what tricks you used to deceive Yue Rou! But the two of you are not suitable!"

"I don't want Yue Rou to feel resentful and alienate herself from her family because of this little thing!"

"Cooperate with us and take the initiative to sever ties with Yue Rou! As long as she successfully marries into the Luo family, the benefits I, He Feng, can give you will definitely exceed your imagination!"

Ye Yan smiled and glanced at He Feng with a strange look.

"No wonder you treat marriage as a joke, as a business deal. It seems your marriage with Madam Ling is also a business marriage."

"In order to cling to the powerful, they even abandon their dignity. Even if the son is not their own, they will still treat him as their own.

"With such forbearance and ruthlessness... no wonder you've come this far!"

He Feng frowned, feeling a little confused.

Before he could speak, Luo Meiyin beside him suddenly roared like crazy.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you little bastard? Come on, smash his mouth!"

"Humph, I've already said it before, this kind of peasant is worthless, just get rid of him! What on earth are you worried about?"

"He Feng, this kid called you a cuckold, and you still tolerate it? If you don't kill him today, you're not a man!"

When Luo Meiyin doesn't speak, she is indeed very noble.

But when she went crazy, her face became ferocious and ugly, no different from that of a shrew cursing on the street.

He Xingjian, who was standing aside, also had a distorted face.

"Boy, you are courting death!"

"Kneel down before me! Come on, pull out his tongue first, then tear his stinky mouth apart!"

Faced with the anger of Luo Meiyin and He Xingjian, Ye Yan couldn't help but sneer.

"Look at you, mother and son. Don't you look like a cat whose tail was stepped on? What's the matter? Did my words poke a hole in your lungs, and you feel guilty and anxious?"

Luo Meiyin, who was originally making harsh remarks, was choked and her face turned red and white.

If she could remain calm and continue to curse at Ye Yan, at most she would only expose her side as a member of the Luo family's side branch, of humble origin, and of no quality.

But the shouting and cursing stopped so abruptly, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.

A hint of surprise flashed across He Feng's eyes.

Could it be that what Ye Yan said was true... No, this is absolutely impossible!

He Xingjian was the first to react: "You little bastard, you're full of foul language. How dare you slander my mother? You're courting death!"
