Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 704 - 684: Miss Bitch That’s More Like It

Ye Yongning was not surprised by Chu Yanhan’s targeting; a person who had just reclaimed a treasured possession would naturally be very tense about it. He merely curled his lips in a warm, scholarly smile.

Seeing Ye Yongning walk towards the hotel, Jiayi still felt somewhat embarrassed. She hitched up her skirt and took a few steps to catch up, "Uncle Ye."

Ye Yongning stopped, smiling, "Jiayi."

"Don’t be mad at my daddy."

"How could I be? We’re all adults here." Ye Yongning’s response was as light as a cloud, as gentle as a breeze.

Jiayi took a deep breath, but couldn’t resist adding, "Are you angry with my mommy?"

Ye Yongning looked at her, half-joking, half-serious, "Sometimes I think, it takes a lot of fate for two people to keep coming together and remain together despite breaking apart, just like your daddy and mommy. Maybe in this lifetime, my fate with your mommy isn’t that profound. Since that’s the case, let’s just leave it to destiny."

She stared blankly as Uncle Ye turned and walked into the banquet hall, and after a while, she involuntarily curled up her slender fingers, clutching the hem of her tulle dress tightly.

It takes a lot of fate for two people to be together, and if that is so, then let’s leave it to destiny...

Huh, although he was talking about her daddy and mommy, the words seemed quite fitting for her and that man as well.

But even if it’s fate that brings two people together, it could also be a calamitous one.

Moreover, even if he left a woman in China who might become his mistress in the future, could she really contentedly "leave it to destiny"?

With a self-mocking smile, she pushed down the inexplicable surge in her heart and returned to the entrance of the hotel.

The Ya Family and the Chu Family were related by marriage. Although Ya Chen couldn’t come in person, the Ya Family sent subordinates with lavish gifts to attend Chu Yanhan’s wedding in China.

This wedding, with Huo Zhenyang’s advance notification, was not disturbed by the media, and the guests, though not too many, were all of extraordinary status.

The entire wedding banquet was understated, yet subtly exuded an air of luxury.

At the entrance of the hotel, several guests who had come to congratulate were friends from S Country who had hurried to China to offer their felicitations to Chu Yanhan, with voices of congratulations intermittently drifting over:

"Mr. Chu is very fortunate indeed; both his sons-in-law are capable and high-status individuals."

"Oh, the second son-in-law couldn’t make it, and the third son-in-law still hasn’t arrived today?"

Chu Yanhan glanced at his daughter, who was greeting female guests nearby; he could only smile and say, "...Yes, he is a busy man of high status and might arrive at any moment."

Chu Yanhan had also heard a few things about Jiayi and Huo Zhenyang from Xia Tingxuan.

"Really? On such a joyous occasion of the father-in-law’s minor scholarly achievements, the son-in-law should naturally be the first to arrive. No matter how important the business is, it should be put aside for the time being!" a guest commented jokingly.

Over there, Jiayi involuntarily glanced towards Chu Yanhan upon hearing the guest’s words.

Seeing his daughter’s somewhat embarrassed look, Chu Yanhan said, "...Please go inside and take your seats, and pardon any lack of hospitality."

Seeing that the host did not seem eager to discuss further, the guests did not inquire any more and gradually filed in.

Unconsciously, it was almost time for the banquet to start.

Seeing that most of the guests had arrived, Jiayi suggested, "Daddy, let’s go inside. It’s almost time for the banquet to start."

Chu Yanhan nodded, and just as he was about to enter with his daughter, he had barely turned around when he heard the roar of an engine drawing closer from afar.

It was like thunder tearing through the heavens bit by bit, shaking people’s eardrums tremblingly.

A silver-gray Maybach Exelero sports car, racing at over a hundred miles an hour from the other end of the road, came hurtling towards them, and stopped abruptly and steadily at the steps of the hotel.

Seeing that familiar car, Jiayi knew who had arrived.

Slowly, the car door automatically rose.

Huo Zhenyang’s long legs slid out of the car and landed on the tarmac.

The gleaming British style crocodile leather shoes made a crisp clanging sound the moment they hit the ground, accompanying the tall figure as he stood up from the car.

The man was dressed in an iron-grey, tailored suit; upon standing still, his expression was indifferent, but the aura emanating from his brows was like that of a king.

A slight lift of his gaze swept over the people on the hotel steps; he threw the car keys to the approaching valet, then raised his hand to adjust the gold-plated cufflinks at his wrist. As his arm turned lightly, he radiated a regal brilliance, as if he ruled the world, making everyone around him hold their breath.

Jiayi’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. It seemed he had finished his work at the city hall and had rushed back to change into clothes specifically for the banquet.

Chu Yanhan had thought his son-in-law would not come. Now, glancing at his daughter, he saw her eyes dart away.

It seemed that the relationship between Jiayi and him was indeed very tense at the moment.

Although he sided with his daughter, in such a public setting, and since Zhenyang was here to offer his congratulations, Chu Yanhan couldn’t very well show him any displeasure and decided to fulfill his duties as a host by stepping forward to greet him.

Before Chu Yanhan had a chance to speak, he saw Huo Zhenyang had already walked around to the other side of the Maybach and opened the door.

There was someone else in the passenger seat.

As the door opened, a violet high heel landed on the ground, followed by a shapely, slender leg extending upwards.

A slender figure emerged from the luxury car, holding an evening bag and wearing a custom-made purple cocktail dress that matched the shoes perfectly.

The woman, in her twenties, lifted her face with a smile like blooming flowers, and greeted warmly, "Hello cousin-in-law, hello uncle Chu."

Jiayi felt her eyelids twitch heavily. It was Xiaolei.

Huo Zhenyang lifted his arm, and Xiaolei immediately hooked onto it, accompanying her cousin towards the hotel entrance.

Chu Yanhan had seen Xiaolei once at his daughter and Huo Zhenyang’s wedding. Now, seeing the young and beautiful girl beside his son-in-law, he immediately knew who she was.

From what Xia Tingxuan had shared, he also knew about the issues with Xiaolei.

Jiayi’s recent cold war with that man definitely had something to do with this cousin.

He frowned a little, but then saw Huo Zhenyang walking up with Xiaolei by his side, stopping in his tracks, "Sorry for being late. Congratulations to you, father-in-law."

Xiaolei sweetly mirrored her cousin, "Congratulations, uncle Chu, may you have this day every year, and this moment every season, and may you and aunt Xia enjoy a lifetime of happiness and a harmonious union!"

Then tilting her head towards Jiayi, she added with a smile, "And congratulations to you too, cousin-in-law. Aunt Xia and uncle Chu have finally found their happily ever after." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Jiayi’s lips twitched involuntarily. With all those greetings, she must have exhausted all her Chinese vocabulary.

Congratulating her? The tone hidden disdain that couldn’t quite be pinpointed. Was she congratulating Jiayi for finally transitioning from illegitimate daughter to a legitimate one?

Chu Yanhan found Xiaolei’s demeanor increasingly irksome.

Being a man, he naturally understood what kind of woman was the most irresistible to men.

Look at that Xiaolei, sticking to Huo Zhenyang like a clump of mud, all sticky and clingy even in the presence of his daughter; she was surely taking advantage of being a cousin to be so brazen and unreserved.

If the daughter should raise an issue, Xiaolei could just argue that they were cousins, and others would think his daughter was being paranoid.

What a cousin miss; more like a whore miss.

Chu Yanhan scoffed with veiled sarcasm, "This must be the Huo Family’s whore miss?"

Xiaolei, of course, couldn’t detect the nuance between ’cousin miss’ and ’whore miss’, and replied with a smile, "Yes, uncle, we met once at the wedding. I’m LO; my daddy and my cousin’s mom are distant cousins. Just call me Xiaolei, uncle."

She couldn’t care less about currying favor with Jiayi’s father, but since her cousin was present and had taken the initiative to invite her to the wedding, it was a rare occasion for her to present herself well.
