"He Mingrun, what are you doing? How dare you dismiss my guest." Wu Yuan was surprised that He Mingrun dared to defy her. Perhaps it was because she had never been defied before, and this was the first time, which made Wu Yuan feel extremely uncomfortable.
It must be because of that woman, Meng Yuan.
Wu Yuan's gaze fell on Meng Yuan. Meng Yuan lowered her head and didn't notice Wu Yuan looking at her.
Jiang Nuan, Mu Jiuchen, and He Mingrun could see that Wu Yuan was targeting Meng Yuan.
"Guest? Shall I show you why you almost fell down the stairs at the airport? This woman couldn't meet me, so she designed such a good show. If she wins your heart and makes you protect her like a madman, then I'll marry her?"
"In this day and age, does anyone still have such a foolish idea?"
Yan Xin looked at He Mingrun in surprise, then looked at Wu Yuan with a wronged expression: "Auntie, I know Young Master He doesn't like me, but he can't slander me like this. I just wanted to help Auntie tonight, I really didn't expect Young Master He to misunderstand me like this."
"Misunderstand you?" He Mingrun found it amusing, seeing the undisguised disgust in Yan Xin's eyes. "If you don't admit it, then go inside, and in front of all the distinguished guests, I'll personally present the evidence to you, no, to everyone."
Yan Xin's face turned as pale as snow, and she looked at him sharply.
What did his words mean?
He Mingrun looked at his mother. "Mom, today is a banquet celebrating Grandma's recovery, and the attending doctors are Miss Jiang and her friend. If you think these two ladies cannot enter, I will take Grandma and them elsewhere to celebrate."
"You, and your daughter-in-law who wants to murder you, can celebrate here happily."
"He Mingrun, you..." Wu Yuan was a little anxious. He Mingrun had really grown up and dared to go against her.
"Mom, I've grown up. I'll make my own decisions about marriage. If I want to marry, I won't marry a wicked and jealous woman to dote on."
After speaking, He Mingrun looked at Jiang Nuan and Meng Yuan. "Miss Jiang, Yuan Yuan, I'm sorry you encountered such a thing. I just found out that Yan Xin pretended to save me at the airport and then badmouthed me to my mother. They secretly replaced the electronic invitation with another version, which is why this happened. She specifically came here waiting for you. She is extremely cunning. I apologize to you here."
"He Mingrun, what are you talking about? What 'secretly replaced'? Can't I control my own invitation?" Wu Yuan could not accept this explanation.
He Mingrun said expressionlessly, "You have already taken control, otherwise would this have happened?"
Wu Yuan glared fiercely at He Mingrun.
He Mingrun didn't pay attention, instead looking at Mu Jiuchen. "Xiao Jiu, you take Yuan Yuan and Miss Jiang inside first."
Mu Jiuchen nodded slightly and led the two inside.
Jiang Nuan and Meng Yuan didn't have much interest and planned to just go through the motions and leave.
Seeing He Mingrun's displeased expression, several distinguished ladies dared not say anything further.
After confirming their invitation cards, they also entered the venue one after another.
Wu Yuan looked at Yan Xin. How much did this girl want to marry Mingrun to catch her eye? Such a woman was truly devoted to Mingrun. She smiled and said, "Xin Xin, you come in with Auntie."
Yan Xin was flattered that Wu Yuan believed her, but dared not show it on her face. "Auntie, but Young Master He..."
"Don't mind him, he's just got this temper, he'll be fine in a few days." Wu Yuan pulled Yan Xin inside, not caring what He Mingrun thought.
Yan Xin glanced at He Mingrun, bit her lip, lowered her head, and followed Wu Yuan inside.
He Mingrun glanced at his assistant Wu Hao behind him.
"Wu Hao, the Yan family has ulterior motives. Since their fire has already started, it must be extinguished promptly. Tonight, let's cut off a few of the Yan family's collaborations and warn Yan Xin. If she has any further plans, then extinguish this fire completely."
"Yes, President. I'll go do it now?" Wu Hao turned and left to handle the matter.
He Mingrun turned and entered the banquet.
Mu Jiuchen directly took Jiang Nuan and Meng Yuan to see Madam He.
Madam He was still energetic today, wearing a red Tang suit, looking very elegant with a kind smile.
Moreover, the old lady was unaware of what had happened in the front yard.
Seeing Jiang Nuan and Meng Yuan, and then looking at Mu Jiuchen, she smiled broadly.
It was rare for Xiao Jiu to be seen with a woman.
"Xiao Jiu, Miss Jiang, you're here." Madam He liked Jiang Nuan more and more the more she looked at her.
"Grandma."
"Madam!"
Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan greeted her one after another.
Mu Jiuchen introduced, "Grandma, this is Nuan Nuan's best friend Meng Yuan, and she also knows Mingrun."
Upon hearing this, Madam He looked closely at Meng Yuan. The young girl appeared quite well-behaved.
She seemed very suitable for Mingrun.
"Hello, Madam!" Meng Yuan greeted with a smile, her demeanor generous and proper.
Madam He smiled and nodded, "Miss Meng, welcome. Our Mingrun doesn't speak much, please bear with him. This boy doesn't have many female friends."
The old lady's biggest dream now was to see her three grandsons married and have children.
Meng Yuan was taken aback. What did the old lady mean by that?
She smiled, "Young Master He speaks very well."
Madam He chuckled, "That's good. Don't let his smiling appearance fool you, he's very reserved. I'm afraid he won't be able to find a wife."
Meng Yuan couldn't quite decipher the meaning behind these words.
She didn't think so; that Young Master He spoke very well indeed.
"Mom, what are you talking about? How could our Mingrun not find a wife? There are lines of people waiting to marry Mingrun."
Wu Yuan walked in with Yan Xin.
Yan Xin saw Mu Jiuchen there and lowered her head guiltily.
Mu Jiuchen's words were truly unpleasant.
"Oh! Ninth Master, I heard your father is having an affair? I heard the other party is pregnant too. You must be careful. If a son pops out from that woman's belly, your empire will be in jeopardy."
Wu Yuan had always disliked Mu Jiuchen and feared he would seize her son's inheritance.
Madam He doted on Mu Jiuchen greatly, this was beyond doubt.
Madam He frowned as she looked at Mu Jiuchen, it seemed this matter was true.
Mu Jiuchen's expression was somber. How dare she say such a thing in front of him?
"Madam, you found such a woman to impersonate Grandma's savior, and she even troubled Grandma's distinguished guests at the door. What are your intentions towards Grandma?" Only Grandma could manage Wu Yuan, and he was most adept at diverting blame.
Wu Yuan's expression darkened, and she smiled, "Mom, this is Miss Yan Xin. You know the Yan family from Jinshi. Their family is well-off, and Yan Xin is very smart and capable. If someone hadn't interfered, Grandma's illness would have been cured by Yan Xin."
Madam He glanced at Yan Xin, who was lowering her head, her expression darkening. "What are you saying? 'Interfered'? I was on the verge of death and had to wait for her to study my medical records. What were you thinking? Did you want me to die so you could be the head of the household?"
