Tang Xia wiped Jin Xinghan's lips.

Only when the red of the rouge covered the original pale color of her lips did she feel relieved.

She turned around, her ears already burning red, but she remained calm.

"My uncle and aunt live abroad most of the time, so they must be used to this kind of thing and don't care anymore, right?"

That being said, the two men clearly weren't going to give her a friendly look.

Perfect, I'll take this opportunity to give her a good talking-to.

Selena had already accepted this task before she arrived.

Now that she had received a hint from her husband, she immediately cleared her throat, put on airs, and began to lecture Tang Xia: "It's true that your uncle and I are abroad, but Miss Tang, you shouldn't be, right? Or am I just too old to understand the situation in China and out of touch?"

Jin Xinghan was about to speak.

Under the table, Tang Xia held his hand and shook her head slightly at him.

She knew that Jin Xinghan must be feeling very unwell right now.

When you speak, it's inevitable that others will notice something wrong with you.

She glanced at the Jin family's youngest uncle, who, though silent, was secretly in control.

Then he turned to Selena and said with a faint smile, "Auntie, I just couldn't help myself. If you really can't stand it, I'll apologize to you."

"No, please, I can't accept that."

Selena hadn't expected that Tang Xia, who looked so gentle and weak, would speak so bluntly and without any hesitation.

I really underestimated her.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room plummeted to freezing point.

The tension eased slightly when the waiter came in and started serving the food.

Jin Xinghan spoke very little at the dinner table.

Unless absolutely necessary, Tang Xia usually speaks for him.

To the group, it was clear that the president of Huanyu Group was being completely controlled by an ignorant countrywoman.

The way Uncle Jin stared at Tang Xia was as if he could tear her to pieces.

No one was happy during the meal.

The exquisite food on the table was almost untouched.

Tang Xia disliked the atmosphere, but unfortunately, the people sitting at the table were the elders of the Jin family.

I had no choice but to endure it.

Not long after, Jin Yao secretly sent her a message.

[Sister Tang Xia, I need to go to the restroom, could you come with me?]

Tang Xia glanced at Jin Xinghan.

Only after receiving her consent did he nod to her.

Jin Yao went out first.

Not long after, Tang Xia also stood up and walked towards the door.

Before the door was even closed, Selena's voice rang out.

"Look at her! Doesn't she know what occasion this is? Even if she's not dressed elegantly and appropriately, she should at least be dressed in a formal gown to show respect for us elders. But look at what she's wearing—work clothes! She really doesn't respect us at all!"

"That's right, Xinghan, I have a feeling something's off about this woman. Even our Yaoyao is bewitched by her. You need to be careful. After all, you're the president of Huanyu. How many people are eyeing this position next to you?"

Tang Xia didn't hear what was said next.

As soon as she entered the restroom, she heard Jin Yao complaining.

"This is terrible! This meal was even more unpleasant than eating with my boss!"

Seeing Tang Xia come in, he rushed over and hugged her arm, seemingly pouting, "Sister Tang Xia, no matter what, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. She's just a person who speaks without thinking, and the passing of my father was a huge blow to her. In the past few years, she's always finding fault with everyone."

"It's alright, it's okay." Tang Xia smiled and comforted her, "I understand."

From an objective point of view, it's quite remarkable that someone who wasn't particularly outstanding suddenly became Jin Xinghan's girlfriend and entered their lives in such a high-profile manner.

Anyone would think that this person has ulterior motives.

Jin Yao shook her head and said seriously, "Sister, you must not try to understand my mother. It's all because she has prejudice, and that's wrong. What I really want to say is, please don't look down on me because of my mother."

After speaking, Jin Yao lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xia was also somewhat surprised.

This was the first time she had ever heard such a statement.

After a while.

Tang Xia gently ruffled Jin Yao's hair and said softly, "Your mother has indeed worked very hard, managing the family business all by herself. It's not easy."

Jin Yao also sighed.

“When I first finished the college entrance exam, my dad wanted me to study business, but I loved law and refused to go to the school he had prepared for me. At that time, my mom secretly gave me money to support my dream. But after my dad passed away, she regretted it every day, regretting that she hadn’t listened to him…” Jin Yao said, becoming melancholy. “But I really don’t have the talent for this. My mom and I definitely can’t keep my dad’s business. We might as well sell it all to Brother Xinghan. Anyway, Brother Xinghan would never cheat me.”

Tang Xia chuckled after hearing her idea.

But for Yu Xin and her daughter, this might not be a bad solution.

"Have you discussed your thoughts with your mother?"

Jin Yao paused for a moment, then suddenly realized: "...It seems not."

Tang Xia immediately found the crux of the problem.

"So what you and your daughter need most right now is communication."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Sister Tang Xia, my brother is so lucky to have won you over!"

The two chatted and laughed as they returned to the private room.

Turning the corner of the corridor, I saw a tall figure leaning against the wall.

Long, slender fingers kept swiping the phone screen.

Unlock, then lock.

Unlock again, then lock again.

This process is repeated back and forth.

Tang Xia knew that this was something Jin Xinghan would do when he was in a bad mood.

Jin Yao had never seen her brother like this before, and for a moment she was a little hesitant to move.

Tang Xia patted her shoulder: "It's okay, you go in first."

"it is good."

The moment Jin Yao opened the door, Tang Xia seemed to hear the people inside arguing about something.

But as soon as the door closed, the sound of the argument was shut out again.

Tang Xia walked to Jin Xinghan's side.

One hand took his phone away.

With her other hand, her little finger quietly hooked around his palm.

"What's wrong? Did you not have a good talk with your uncle?"

"What uncle? He's just a conman who wants money."

It was rare for Jin Xinghan to utter such a childish remark.

But Tang Xia could sense that he was still sad inside.

Long-lost relatives return, but they are full of scheming.

Jin Xinghan took her hand and pulled her in the opposite direction.

"Shouldn't you let me know?"

"No need."

Tang Xia was only stunned for a moment.

He then adjusted his pace and caught up with Jin Xinghan's.

The two left the restaurant hand in hand.

Even after getting into the car, Jin Xinghan was still somewhat sullen.

Although Lin, the assistant in the front row, was unaware of what had happened, he still reminded him, "Mr. Jin, Dr. Wen said that you cannot have too much emotional fluctuation recently, otherwise you will have to be hospitalized."

Although the subject of these words was Jin Xinghan, Assistant Lin was looking at Tang Xia when he said them.

The meaning is also obvious.

Now, she is the only one who can calm Jin Xinghan down.
