Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Yao turned around and saw Jiang Yun appear at the door in a pure white dress. She raised her eyebrows. She had guessed that Jiang Yun would wear white. Jiang Yun’s makeup would always be exquisitely and beautifully done, and her pretty face would always look elegant and calm. Her gaze fell gently on Huo Buyu and Ye Yao. She nodded slightly at Ye Yao and Huo Buyu with a flawless expression, but Ye Yao could still see disdain in her eyes… Jiang Yun’s disdain for her.
Everyone at the banquet today knew that Huo Buyu was getting engaged to Jiang Yun, and Jiang Yun naturally knew about it. Huo Buyu had been kept in the dark previously, but the rumors had been spreading, so he naturally knew about it. Everyone felt that the marriage between the Huo family and the Jiang family was inevitable, and they were happy to see it happen.
Jiang Jie came behind Ye Yao and said, “Although Jiang Yun looks calm on the surface, she’s actually overjoyed.”
Ye Yao shrugged. “It’s fine. She won’t be smug for long.”
Jiang Jie asked curiously, “What do you plan to do?”
Ye Yao replied, “My plan is… I don’t have a plan!’
Jiang Jie’s expression darkened. “You’re making a joke at a time like this!”
Ye Yao spread her hands. She had no choice. There was too little information and she did not know what the next move would be. She could only take it one step at a time.
At this point, Huo Buyu’s grandfather appeared. As soon as he appeared, thunderous applause sounded in the banquet hall. Huo Buyu’s grandfather was very healthy. He stood there and looked up with a smile. “Thank you for coming. Today, I wish to formally introduce my grandson, Huo Buyu!’
Huo Buyu walked onto the stage.
Old Master Huo looked at Huo Buyu kindly. “This is my youngest grandson and my pride. Today, at my birthday banquet, I wish to make an announcement. Today is not only my birthday, but also my grandson Huo Buyu’s engagement banquet!’
The crowd applauded like thunder.
As though on cue, a bright red tigure rushed onto the stage like the wind and threw herself into Huo Buyu’s arms. Huo Buyu raised his arms and hugged her, smiling dotingly.
Ye Yao shouted excitedly, “Huo Buyu, we’re finally getting engaged!’
Jiang Yun was below. She was originally prepared to lift her skirt and go on stage, but when she saw Ye Yao rushing up, her expression was very stiff. Not only Jiang Yun, but the entire venue was also shocked when they witnessed Ye Yao’s sudden appearance.
The Qin family was also here today. Yang Ya and Qin Jiao were both here. After the news of Huo Buyu’s engagement to Jiang Yun spread, Yang Ya was very happy. Without Huo Buyu’s protection, Ye Yao was nothing. She had come today to see Ye Yao make a fool of herself. However, when she saw Ye Yao leaping into Huo Buyu’s arms on the stage, her smile vanished.
Jiang Jie secretly gave Ye Yao a thumbs up. Gao Qiao did the same.
Old Master Huo looked at Ye Yao, who had suddenly rushed up, and his face turned ashen. “Who allowed you to come up here!”
Ye Yao looked at Old Master Huo in a daze. “Didn’t you say that today is Huo Buyu’s engagement party? I’m Huo Buyu’s girlfriend. Of course, he can only get engaged to me. And of course, I have to come up here and celebrate with him.”
Huo Buyu held Ye Yao’s hand and introduced her gently and solemnly, “This is my girlfriend, Ye Yao.”
Old Master Huo was so angry that he didn’t say anything for a long time. After a while, he said in a low voice, “I object! This woman doesn’t deserve to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Huo family!’
Ye Yao patted her belly sadly. “But what should I do? I’m already pregnant with Huo Buyu’s baby.”
There were gasps from the crowd.
Jiang Yun clenched her hands and her facial features were contorted. This was the first time in her life she had suffered such a great humiliation! She had not planned to attack Ye Yao, but now, she and Ye Yao were irreconcilable!
Old Master Huo was shocked by this news. His eyes rolled back and he fainted! Old Master Huo had been all-powerful his entire lifetime and no one could disobey him. This time, he had actually been tricked by Ye Yao at his own birthday banquet! He had been thoroughly embarrassed!
The old man fainted, and the venue went into chaos. Everyone rushed to send Old Master Huo to the hospital, and the banquet was a huge mess.
In the hospital, Huo Buqi, Huo Buran, and Ye Yao were all outside the emergency room. Ye Yao leaned on Huo Buyu’s shoulder and felt a little guilty. “I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.” She only wanted to protect their relationship and had never thought of hurting Grandpa Huo. She was also very worried when Grandpa Huo suddenly fainted..
