A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1511 - 291: Mind Your Tongue Over Tea and Meals

Lady Tao had been keeping an eye on this side, and when she saw Tao Yuzhu and Lau Yixuan interacting, she frowned slightly and gave Huang Jia a look. Huang Jia nodded and walked over.

Naturally, Lady Tao knew her daughter fancied a man. In fact, she had investigated this man’s family background and found him far from a suitable lifelong partner. However, since her daughter was still young and there was nothing substantial between them, she turned a blind eye, hoping her daughter would see reason when she grew older.

"Little sister, Mom is calling you over to introduce you to some promising young men," Huang Jia said with a smile as she walked over.

Tao Yuzhu pursed her lips, reluctantly glanced at Lau Yixuan, and then turned to follow Huang Jia, with Yun Ya naturally accompanying them.

Lau Yixuan watched their retreating figures, his thin lips slightly pursed, a trace of coldness crossing his eyes.

Yu Shanshan leaned closer to him and sighed, "You see it too. With Yuzhu’s family background, her parents will never agree to the two of you being together."

Lau Yixuan curled his lips in mockery, "So what?"

Yu Shanshan narrowed her eyes, "Do you know why so many celebrities and aristocrats attended a little girl’s eighteenth birthday party? Aren’t many of these faces ones you only see on television?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Lau Yixuan’s gaze nonchalantly swept over the faces of the guests; they weren’t unfamiliar to him.

"Because they’re all here for one person: Qin Zhongwen. I’m sure that name is not unfamiliar to you, and he’s Tao Yuzhu’s uncle."

Lau Yixuan’s pupils suddenly constricted.

Yu Shanshan smirked, "So, if you manage to cling to Tao Yuzhu, your whole family would rise with the tide, and no one would dare to look down on you ever again...."

Lau Yixuan let out a cold snort, "What kind of person do you take me for?"

"Can pride fill your belly? Can it make those snobs bow down to you? Can it guarantee you a bright future?"

Yu Shanshan’s barrage of questions made Lau Yixuan’s face darken, yet he couldn’t find words to refute.

"Admit it, we’re on the same path. I’ll help you... Senior...."

Lau Yixuan looked around at the lavish surroundings, his fists clenched tightly.

Lady Tao introduced a few promising young men to Tao Yuzhu, who showed little interest and dragged Yun Ya away to the garden for some air.

"If it weren’t for Uncle, do you think they would pay any attention to me?" Tao Yuzhu mumbled, kicking small stones by the flower bed.

"Yuzhu is so pretty and cute; of course they are here for you."

"Enough with the comforts." Tao Yuzhu sighed, "I don’t like them; I like Lau Yixuan."

Yun Ya squinted slightly but had not said anything when Yu Shanshan ran over, "Yuzhu, there you are! I finally found you."

"What’s up?" Tao Yuzhu asked.

"Lau Yixuan, he...." Yu Shanshan panted, bending over. Tao Yuzhu hurriedly shook her shoulders, "What’s with him?"

"He said he wants to ask you for a dance."

Tao Yuzhu instantly broke into a smile and ran back to the banquet hall.

Yun Ya squinted at Yu Shanshan, whose eyes still held a trace of triumph. Unexpectedly, she met Yun Ya’s deep, dark eyes, and she shivered subconsciously as a chill crept up her spine.

"Miss Yu, there’s always retribution; do you believe in karma?" Yun Ya said quietly.

Yu Shanshan’s eyes showed some panic, but she steadied herself and said, "I don’t know what you’re talking about." With that, she turned and ran off.

Yun Ya let out a cold laugh, walked into the banquet hall, and exchanged a glance with Yan Song, seeing that in the center of the hall, Tao Yuzhu and Lau Yixuan were already dancing a waltz.

With the melodious music, the handsome man and beautiful woman danced romantically and beautifully, drawing every guest’s gaze to them, except for Lady Tao, whose face was livid with anger.

Huang Jia consoled her, "Mom, it’s just a dance; don’t worry."

"That silly girl, I have spoiled her too much." Lady Tao massaged her chest.

Dongfang Yi curved her lips, her gaze falling on Ji Yunya, a flicker of coldness swiftly crossing her eyes.

At this point, associating with Tao Yuzhu had already descended into a lower hand. Isn’t Ji Yunya skilled in winning people over? Then I’ll make him suffer his own undoing.

Yun Ya felt a gaze on him, but when he turned to look, among the scents and shadows, he couldn’t find the source.

Yun Ya approached Yan Song, while many men and women had already started dancing to the music. Yun Ya’s delicate hand rested on Yan Song’s shoulder, and the two slid into the dance floor, performing the most standard dance steps with extreme elegance, becoming the most dazzling sight in the dance floor, attracting numerous gazes.
