After all, Ye Yunla had not escaped Fu Beijiu’s clutches and had been pressed into bed for a good lovemaking session before she got up.
She looked at the few crimson hickeys on her neck and could hardly cry.
“Fu Beijiu, you b*****d!”
She cursed angrily through clenched teeth as she put on her make-up.
Fu Beijue slowly and methodically put on his suit with an insatiable look, “I’ll send you over later.”
Ye Yunla hummed and ignored him again.
It was a good thing that Zhuang Shen’s custom-made dress was relatively conservative, the hickey on her neck was covered just right, and she wasn’t afraid of being talked about.
The four children had already been sent off to kindergarten by housekeeper Qiao, and it was now the beginning of the waxing moon.
Speaking of which, this was the first New Year that Ye Yunla and the children had spent in China, and she was vaguely looking forward to it.
Fu Beijue dropped Ye Yunla off at the hotel door.
“Give me a call in advance when it’s almost over, I’ll come and pick you up.”
The man’s low, dull voice rang out from inside the car.
In fact, he wanted to accompany her to this marriage recognition banquet, but he knew she had her own plans and could only let her go in to face everything alone.
“Don’t worry about me, it’s all under control.”
Ye Yunla planted a farewell kiss on his face before she pushed open the car door and got down.
As soon as she got out of the car, the cold wind rolled in with the biting chill of winter and she couldn’t help but shiver.
It was so cold, it was lucky the snow had stopped, otherwise this man would have tried everything to stop her from coming to the party.
Knowing that Fu Beijue’s gaze was fixed on her back, Ye Yunla braced herself to straighten her back with a breath and walked calmly and composedly towards the banquet hall.
Before she reached the entrance, Ye Yunla ran into the Xie family.
She had already instructed her great uncle and cousin not to let her grandmother come over, after all, she was already old and it was so cold outside that it would be a sin for the old man to come out, but to her surprise, she still came, supported by Xie Heng and Xie Zhirui left and right.
“Grandma, why don’t you take a good rest at home?”
Ye Yunla greeted her with quick steps, and Xie Heng gave up the seat on her left.
Old Lady Xie took Ye Yunla’s hand and said with a smile, “Today is your big day, so of course Grandma had to make a trip to back you up.”
Ye Yunla laughed helplessly, “Then let’s hurry inside, it’s warm inside.”
No sooner had the words left her mouth than she heard a sneer.
As soon as she turned her head, she was met with Xie Siqi’s face full of mockery.
Xie Siqi hadn’t wanted to come, but the Zhou family had insisted that she make the trip, saying something about the Zhuang family being a big family in Hai Cheng and that it would be best to climb into a relationship.
It just so happened that the Xie family was also coming to the banquet, so she followed them over.
But as soon as she saw how exquisitely dressed and beautiful Ye Yunla looked, she felt uncomfortable again.
She had two more scars on her face, and she didn’t look as good as she used to, but why did she still become the one to watch in everyone’s eyes?
Ye Yunla slightly curled her lips, her eyes bright: “What is big cousin smiling about?”
She had put on heavy make-up today, covering up the two scars so that only faint dark marks could be seen.
