Banquet of the Elite Families (6)

Although Old Master Wei was old, his hearing was still incredibly sharp. Hearing the voices, he frowned and said to the servant beside him, "Go and see what's going on there."

The servant hurried over and happened to hear Yang Shan's words. The servant then walked back with an awkward expression. He stood there and looked at Wei Yanmo, his eyes shining as he looked hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly!" Old Master Wei tapped his cane on the ground.

The servant shrunk his neck. "I-It's regarding Young Master Yanmo… There is a woman who came to the party and it was said that she was a woman whom Young Master Yanmo had played with. She was dumped by Young Master and came today to get an explanation from him."

It was proven that rumors were totally untrustworthy.

Old Master Wei's face immediately turned red and he threw an angry glance at his grandson who was standing by the side. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yanmo, what's going on?"

Wei Yanmo was also completely lost and said aggrievedly, "Grandpa, this kind of thing… I wouldn't dare! I'm being framed! It must be someone framing me!"

"Tsk, tsk. Who knows if this is true?" Wei Yanmo's cousin, Wei Yanxian, curled his lips and said sarcastically, "Isn't it normal to kick the woman away after taking advantage of her? Grandpa, don't blame Yanmo. He's a young man full of vigor and has no wife. It's normal to know a little about this type of thing."

"Cousin! What nonsense are you talking about in front of Grandpa?" Wei Yanmo's expression turned cold and he said meaningfully, "You'd better take care of your own affairs. Be careful of any messy women going to Cousin-in-law and making trouble. Hmph!"

As the third-generation heir of the Wei family, this was not the first time that Wei Yanmo and his cousin, Wei Yanxian, had conflicts.

"Enough! We're all family so what are you two fighting about? Stop your nonsense." Old Master Wei took a deep breath and continued to glare at his favorite grandson as he tried to suppress his anger. "Go, bring that woman here!"

The servant quickly left again.

Pushing away from the crowd, the servant went to Tang Xiaoxiao. After dismissing the hotel security guard, the servant hesitated for a moment, before putting away his arrogant expression and saying politely, "Miss, the Old Master wants you to go over."

Tang Xiaoxiao gave a helpless smile and rolled her eyes. As expected, trouble could not be avoided. Putting down the wine glass, she gave Cheng Mu a reassuring look before following the servant.

As soon as they left, the fire of gossip was ignited among the people. Pairs of curious eyes followed the retreating figures and could not help but sigh in their hearts. "The servant of the Wei family actually came to invite her over? That means what Yang Shan said was true!"

What would happen at this charity banquet today? Would it be the noble family breaking up a loving couple, or would Old Master Wei be furious at this ungrateful grandson of his?

Yang Shan stood there and could not help but sneer. The head of the Wei family is personally going to deal with an arrogant person like you. Let's see who can help you this time, Tang Xiaoxiao!

When he saw the charming girl following behind the servant, a deep look flashed past Old Master Wei's eyes as he thought to himself, "She really is a little vixen to have charmed such an outstanding grandson of mine. I'd like to see what tricks she still has up in her sleeves in front of me.

When Wei Yanxian saw Tang Xiaoxiao, a trace of greed flashed past his eyes. What a stunning woman! No wonder Yanmo was so smitten… But, Wei Yanmo, I'd like to see what you're going to do this time to please the Old Master!

Before Old Master Wei could show his unhappiness, the scene that made everyone in the Wei family surprised was Wei Yanmo stepping forward as he said with a familiar smile, "I didn't expect you would be here today. What a rare guest… I didn't know that they were talking about you."

"Yanmo!" Old Master Wei was furious. You brat, how dare you act intimately with a woman in front of me. Do you really think the rules of our family are for show?

Wei Yanmo was stunned for a moment before he turned to look at his grandfather and chuckled. He pulled Tang Xiaoxiao in front of Old Master Wei and said, "Grandpa, all of you have misunderstood. I wouldn't dare. Xiaoxiao hasn't graduated from university, and I'm afraid Uncle Tang will skin me alive with anger if there was anything of the sort…"

Left with no choice, Tang Xiaoxiao bowed respectfully to Old Master Wei and gave a small smile, looking well-behaved and demure. "Hello, Grandpa Wei. I'm Tang Xiaoxiao. My father is Tang Yuanfeng, the Tang family from Liyang."

Tang Yuanfeng? Tang family from Liyang?

When Old Master Wei, who was still furious, heard the words 'Tang Yuanfeng', he was stunned and looked at Tang Xiaoxiao in disbelief. "You're… Tang Xiaoxiao? The daughter of Tang Yuanfeng from Liyang?"

"Yes," Tang Xiaoxiao replied obediently.

The daughter of Tang Yuanfeng from Liyang? Wei Yanxian's pupils constricted and his heart sank. Damn it! How did this brat get involved with Tang Yuanfeng's only daughter? If he really did get together with this Tang Xiaoxiao, would there still be a chance for him to be the head of the family?

Wei Yanmo quickly explained, "Grandpa, Xiaoxiao met with some trouble in our hotel the other day. It happened that I was inspecting the hotel and saw it, so I helped her out a little. I didn't expect that the people would spread such rumors. How would I have the honor to be Xiaoxiao's boyfriend?"

These words were half an explanation and half a test, to see what Tang Xiaoxiao's attitude towards him was.

Old Master Wei finally burst into laughter, patted his grandson's shoulder and gave him a knowing look. Then he said heartily, "So it's a misunderstanding, haha… Misunderstanding. Yanmo, you really hid it well."

It was no wonder Old Master Wei was so happy. The original scandal turned into a happy event in an instant. The Tang family in Liyang was a piece of premium meat in China's upper-class society and powerful families. Tang Yuanfeng had no son and only had a daughter, Tang Xiaoxiao. Wouldn't it mean that whichever family that Tang Xiaoxiao marry into, would get countless wealth out of thin air?

Wei Yanxian stared at Tang Xiaoxiao fixedly and did not know what he was feeling in his heart.

Meanwhile, Tang Xiaoxiao looked careless and pretended not to see and hear the Wei family's hints.

"I can't believe the young girl of the Tang family has already grown so big. Are your parents well?" Old Master Wei shook his head with emotion. "Your parent's wedding that year caused a stir in the upper-class society. But in a blink of an eye, they got divorced and their daughter has already grown so big."

Tang Xiaoxiao's pupils constricted. She finally heard something about Tang Xiaoxiao's mother!

Since she had been reborn, there was no trace of Tang Yuanfeng's first wife within the Tang family. Even in her own private diary, Tang Xiaoxiao did not mention her mother. For this matter, she even asked her Father and Tang Jingchen, but they only shook their heads and kept silent. She thought that her mother had passed away, but it turned out that Mr Tang and Mrs Tang were divorced?
