It is known to everyone that Zhou Hanzhi has a girlfriend named Lin Xixi.

Because he brought Lin Xixi to attend the last birthday party for Old Lady Zhang, and Zhou Hanzhi had just said in front of all the guests that only Lin Xixi could give birth to Shen Hualan's grandson or granddaughter.

At this moment, Shen Hualan said that she wanted to welcome me as her daughter-in-law. I can't blame Sister Min for not giving her face. Shen Hualan's remarks were really excessive and outrageous.

Not only was Sister Min angry, but Elder Yuan, who was sitting next to Sister Min, also spoke with an unpleasant expression: "Mrs. Zhou, Xuxu is from my Yuan family. Are you trying to snatch her from us?"

"Robber? Is he worthy? He's an old bone, not even worth feeding to a dog. My baby won't want him." Xiao Ye snorted. He never had a good face towards Zhou Hanzhi, and this time he directly poked Zhou Hanzhi in the face.

I didn't have time to open my mouth at all. I quickly looked up and saw that Zhou Hanzhi's face was as black as ink, his thin lips were tightly closed, and his expression was very serious. His inky eyes were fixed on Xiaoye's face, and even I could feel the sharp edge in his eyes.

"Old? We, how can our Hanzhi be old? We..." Shen Hualan was obviously irritated by Xiaoye's family. She stuttered while speaking, her chest heaving with excitement. She grabbed Zhou Hanzhi's sleeve and was about to quarrel with Xiaoye.

I guess she was irritated by Xiao Ye's words, "Don't even throw it to the dog."

After all, Zhou Hanzhi was her door card to enter the Zhou family, the basis for her increasingly high status in the Zhou family, and her greatest pride now. She certainly could not tolerate Zhou Hanzhi being humiliated like this.

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, I put down the wine glass in my hand. The incident was caused by me, but I couldn't ruin today's banquet because of me. I wanted to stop it.

But before I could stand up, my godmother's hand suddenly reached out and pressed my wrist. I turned around and saw my godmother shaking her head at me: "Xuxu, this is our home. Your family will take care of it for you. You don't need to step forward."

At this time, Master Zhang, who had been silent, spoke up in time: "Why do you take it seriously? Mrs. Zhou just made a joke because Xuxu was well-behaved and sensible, why are you so angry? Xiaomin, you didn't really take Mrs. Zhou's words to heart, did you?"

After he said this, the atmosphere at the scene obviously eased a lot, but Sister Min still didn't say anything, but the sharp sense of attack on her body obviously subsided.

"Xiao Min is such an open-minded person, how could she get angry over a joke?" Old Mrs. Zhang smiled and tried to smooth things over.

The corners of Min Jie's lips curled up, as if she was smiling: "So it was just a joke? I thought Madam Zhou was really going to act like a rogue and snatch our daughter away. But I was being too serious. Madam Zhou is an excellent daughter-in-law, how could she come to snatch Xuxu away, right, Madam Zhou?"

Shen Hualan's face turned red and white, but she didn't nod or give an affirmative answer. She just pursed her lips and said nothing.

Old Madam Zhang tried to smooth things over again: "Yes, Mr. Zhou's girlfriend, Miss Lin, is also very beautiful. I met her last time."

After she finished speaking, she thought of something and looked at Zhou Hanzhi with some confusion: "By the way, why didn't you bring Miss Lin with you this time?"

Zhou Hanzhi was still exchanging glances with Xiaoye until Old Lady Zhang mentioned Lin Xixi, and then he withdrew his gaze.

However, I noticed that when he mentioned Lin Xixi, he frowned and looked unhappy, as if he was very unhappy that someone mentioned this issue.

Before he could answer, Xiao Ye smiled and answered: "Grandma, you don't know this. Mr. Zhou's girlfriend had an accident and is still in the hospital. She can't come to the banquet."

"Something happened? What happened to Miss Lin?" Old Mrs. Zhang asked immediately.

"It's really pitiful. Miss Lin was targeted by a pervert because she was so beautiful. She was kidnapped in the middle of the night and taken to an abandoned factory. She was tortured for a whole day before she was discovered. I heard that she didn't suffer any injuries, but her mental state was not very good. She must have encountered something bad and was greatly traumatized." Ono answered with a smile.

His beautiful peach blossom eyes were still staring at Zhou Hanzhi's face, with obvious provocation.

I can see that there is a sense of revenge here.

Ono felt that Zhou Hanzhi was trying to steal me from him, so he deliberately talked about Lin Xixi's incident in front of so many guests. When describing the incident, he deliberately added a lot of imagination to the incident itself. Even if he didn't say it explicitly, the guests would think that Lin Xixi must have been violated by the kidnappers.

I listened to Xiao Ye's description and looked at his expression at the moment. I couldn't help but feel anxious and worried for Xiao Ye. I couldn't help but whispered, "Xiao Ye, stop talking."

I understood what Xiao Ye meant by saying this. Firstly, he wanted to take revenge on Zhou Hanzhi, and secondly, he wanted to vent his anger on me because he had always suspected that Lin Xixi was the real culprit behind my kidnapping. However, the police had not found any definite clues, and Lin Xixi was kidnapped at this critical moment, making it impossible to continue investigating the case. Xiao Ye was depressed about this and deliberately vented his anger.

But it's too risky for Ono to do this.

Lin Xixi is Zhou Hanzhi's favorite, but Xiao Ye said this about Lin Xixi in front of so many guests. From another perspective, this is destroying Lin Xixi's reputation.

What man would tolerate his beloved woman being spoken of like this?

Especially a man like Zhou Hanzhi, who has status and position, and loves Lin Xixi so much. He paves the way for her and does his best to support her. He tries every means to marry her. He wants her to be his wife. How could he tolerate others describing Lin Xixi like this in public?

He and Ono have always been at odds with each other. What if he jumps up and hits Ono in anger?

Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, Zhou Hanzhi's face turned visibly darker. He glared at Xiao Ye, then turned his head and stared at me with a serious look.

The pair of beautifully lined Ruifeng eyes were dark and deep. I saw the uncontrollable anger and...

sad?

I can understand Zhou Hanzhi’s anger, but why does he look so sad?

What is he sad about?

And why was he looking at me, using such a silent look to convey his anger and sadness? Xiaoye was the one who told the story about Lin Xixi, and I was just trying to stop Xiaoye from saying this. Even if Zhou Hanzhi was angry, he should have glared at Xiaoye, why did he glare at me?

I was getting more and more uneasy. At this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the hotel lobby. The hotel manager hurried over from the main entrance and whispered, "Fourth Madam, there are a few people at the entrance of the hotel. Their surname is Lin. They said they were here to attend the banquet, but they couldn't produce an invitation letter, and their names were not on the guest list."
