Li Shao inwardly groaned. These powerful figures were fighting, and they had to send a nobody like him to do the work. It was truly a hardship for him. But now he had finally finished his task, and it was time for him to leave.

After saying that, Li Shao walked into the crowd.

Lan Yin led Yue Shuiying out of the crowd and was about to leave when a voice arrived before the person did. Lan Yin narrowed her eyes; it was Ye Zhu, with Lin Lang and Lin Lian following closely behind.

Lan Yin looked at Ye Zhu, and Ye Zhu looked back at Lan Yin.

Lan Yin understood that all she needed to do was to free Yue Shuiying from Li Shao's humiliation. In other words, she couldn't allow anyone to use Yue Shuiying, this imposter, to insult the Yue family. But right now, it seemed to be a matter for the Ye family, and she was just using Yue Shuiying as a pretext to bring Ye Tianzhu into the picture.

Ye Zhuwen, with refined manners, said, "Miss Xie Lan helped Yue Shuiying out of that predicament."

Lan Yin said, "Young Master Ye, you don't need to be so polite."

Even though Ye Zhu is older than Ye Tianzhu, why does Lan Yin call Ye Zhu the Second Young Master of the Ye Family? The reason is that the Ye Family appoints the most capable people. Ye Tianzhu's abilities are greater than Ye Zhu's, and Ye Zhu's abilities are second only to Ye Tianzhu's, so naturally he is the Second Young Master.

Everything that happened today required the use of Yue Shuiying. Yue Shuiying had never been willing to do so from beginning to end, but the person who orchestrated it didn't care about Yue Shuiying's feelings. Yue Shuiying had always been just a pawn.

Yue Shuiying's eyes were lowered, her hands clenched at her sides, her gaze filled with turbulent waves and destructive dark clouds. After a few seconds, Yue Shuiying's hands limply loosened.

We are powerless; we cannot fight back or prevail.

Tu Mi stood on the second floor, admiring Yue Shuiying's desperate yet powerless resistance. In truth, Yue Shuiying was like a weed growing on barren land; though ugly, she survived and grew taller and larger in such harsh conditions. Tsk, trying to steal Yue Wuque's man.

Lan Yin nodded to Ye Zhu and then left, without even giving Yue Shuiying a glance.

Ye Zhu looked at Yue Shuiying with heartache and said, "How could Ye Tianzhu treat you like this? He brought you here, only to have you bullied."

The audience seemed to have left, but they hadn't. Although they weren't gathered together, their ears were perked up.

Initially, when Li Shao humiliated Yue Shuiying, the crowd didn't think much of it. But when Ye Zhu mentioned Ye Tianzhu, some of them were quite surprised to see that Ye Tianzhu had brought Yue Shuiying with him.

Yue Shuiying is now Yue Wuque's man. He shouldn't have come here in the first place. Ye Tianzhu brought him here using rather forceful methods. Since Ye Zhu wants to humiliate Ye Tianzhu, he will naturally lend Ye Zhu a hand.

Yue Shuiying's tears fell without warning, and she choked out, "Waaaaah, don't say that about Senior Ye. I think Senior Ye must have been busy to not notice me."

Everyone thought to themselves: Oh wow, Yue Shuiying really was brought by Ye Tianzhu. Bullying Yue Shuiying is just a way of ruthlessly trampling on Ye Tianzhu's dignity.

If Ye Zhu hadn't mentioned it, everyone would have almost forgotten about it.

Upon seeing Ye Zhu on the second floor, Ye Tianzhu, who had been lounging around, instantly stood up straight, his eyes darkening. "Ye Zhu, well done!" he thought. He then went downstairs and walked towards Ye Zhu's direction.

Tu Mi's eyes followed Ye Tianzhu, her heart leaping with joy: Let's fight! Let's fight!

Ye Tianzhu walked straight up and stood beside Yue Shuiying, saying coldly, "Ye Zhu, it's none of your business to care about my people. Please know your place."

Ye Zhu asked in surprise, "Why would you think that? I just wanted to help Yue Shuiying when he was isolated and helpless. After all, he's someone my brother brought."

With her head bowed, Yue Shuiying curled her lips in a sarcastic smile. Alone and helpless, huh?

Ye Tianzhu curled her lips, looking at Ye Zhu with cold eyes, "Is that so, Ye Zhu?"

Ye Zhu smiled maliciously. "Of course."

Before Ye Tianzhu could say anything, the main character of today's banquet made his appearance: Old Master Jin.

Everyone's attention was drawn back to Ye Tianzhu and Ye Zhu.

To be fair, the smooth completion of today's events wouldn't have been possible without the Jin family's indifference; otherwise, none of the onlookers would have witnessed this dramatic turn of events.

Standing on a high place, although he was 70 years old, one could still sense his robust health from his voice. "Today, welcome everyone to celebrate here..."

After Mr. Jin finished speaking, the guests went about their business.

Jin Sesan was also with Jin Hehe and Old Master Jin. Feng Jia was no longer on the second floor. Ye Tianzhu and Ye Zhu did not clash in secret. There was no point in clashing now.

Tu Mi also slowly went downstairs. Although there was a small hiccup in today's plan, the plan still proceeded perfectly as originally intended.

Tu Mi watched as one waiter after another passed by her, wondering what champagne tasted like. Tu Mi drank regular beer, the kind that knocks you out in one glass. From then on, Tu Mi knew she couldn't touch alcohol, so she often made sure to avoid it.

However, Tu Mi had already completed today's task perfectly, and he felt he should reward himself. With that thought, Tu Mi took a glass of champagne from a waiter who passed by him, gently brought the champagne close to his nose and smelled it. It was a complex and indescribable fragrance.

Tu Mi took a sip of her drink, her gaze inadvertently drifting to the scenery outside the window. After a moment's thought, she stepped out from the side of the banquet hall and into the garden.

Garden

Darkness enveloped the garden, and the plants could only be barely seen by the faint moonlight. There was no one else here, only the roses.

Holding a champagne glass, Tu Mi stepped over some pebbles and sat down on a wooden bench. Bright and eye-catching roses bloomed on both sides and behind the bench, and some roses even reached over the bench and towards Tu Mi.

Under the moonlight, Tu Mi looked at the champagne shimmering in his glass and took small sips to savor its flavor. He doesn't usually drink alcohol, but this time he wanted to try it. To be honest, it was very delicious.

Within minutes, Tu Mi finished his champagne and casually placed the glass on the bench. He leaned back lazily, his gaze passing through the sparse branches and fixed on the bright crescent moon. Then, Tu Mi slowly closed his eyes, using his mind to sense the direction of the night wind and the chirping of unknown insects.

He would be very happy if Tu Mi could die in this beautiful place.
