Ye Lis expression changed.

Initially, it wasnt a big deal for everyone to discuss it in private. At most, they would mock them in secret. But as long as they didnt hear it, they could pretend that they didnt know. After all, they were all adults. They knew what to say and what not to say.

However, being called out by Xue Yao made everyone look at her strangely.

Since that was the case, she might as well take the opportunity to clarify things.

She looked directly at Liu Yiqiu and said sternly, Sister-in-law, when did I say that Lin Jing would come to Xixis banquet?

Liu Yiqiu was wearing a black gown today. When she heard this, her body tightened.

The old master standing beside Xue Sheng was stunned as well. He looked at Liu Yiqiu in confusion. Son, whats going on?

Before Xue Sheng could complain, Liu Yiqiu took the opportunity to say, Sister-in-law, you cant malign me. I didnt spread the news that you invited Lin Jing to your birthday party.

Ye Li: ?

She was really mad. When I was chatting with Lin Jing, only you saw it. If it wasnt you, who else could it be?

Liu Yiqiu lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. Sister-in-law, so you admit that you know Lin Jing?

Ye Li: !!

Liu Yiqiu smiled. Or do you not know Lin Jing at all and are just bragging to me? Then Im sorry. I didnt know. I thought it was true!

This person was simply too thick-skinned!

Ye Li was so angry that she did not know what to say.

The old man was stunned. Ye Li, you, you know Lin Jing?

In front of so many people, Ye Li could not say it too obviously, but she could not deny it either. After all, Xiang Huais identity had already been exposed in the past. If she lied today, it would also be exposed someday.

Hence, she could only mention vaguely, Dad, weve exchanged a few words.

A few words were a few words, and thousands of words were also a few words. After all, they had exchanged seven or eight words every day.

The moment Ye Li spoke, someone beside her gasped. Do you really know Lin Jing? And her WeChat

There were also people who discussed privately, Isnt this kind of bragging a little too much?

Shh Someone reminded her in a low voice, Shamelessness is the key to doing business. Of course she can say that. Can you really confirm it with Lin Jing?

That person instantly came to a realization. Oh right, we dont know Lin Jing, so Im afraid we cant say anything. How can we confirm? This is really

It was a lie that could not be exposed.

Everyone praised Ye Lis brilliant means. Hence, they all smiled and complimented her vainly. How impressive

We have yet to see Lin Jing once

You actually exchanged a few words. Thats impressive!

Someone asked, Did you really invite Lin Jing?

Ye Li:

Ye Li took a deep breath. Forget it. There were some things that she should say. No. After all, its too far. Its impossible for them to come to Bin City from the capital on New Years Eve

Liu Yiqiu pouted. Youre talking big. Its like you would have invited her if youre in the capital.

Some people could not stand Ye Lis behavior and muttered to themselves, Thats too ridiculous. Shes been at the capital for only half a year. How did she become like this?

Thats right. Since everyone is giving her a way out, she should just go along with it. But shes still boasting. She makes it sound like shes really close to Lin Jing. Shed only exchanged a few words and shes already showing off like this

Everyone started talking in low voices.

The old lady beside Old Master Xue finally understood. However, she did not immediately blame Liu Yiqiu for spreading the rumors. Instead, she grabbed Xue Sheng and whispered, Son, whats wrong with your wife? Whats the point of saying such big words on such an occasion?

If you want others to think highly of you, you dont have to rely on these to raise your status!

Old Lady Xue sneered. I knew it. A person from such a small family is not presentable. Id be embarrassed to boast so much!

Xue Sheng frowned. She really knows Lin Jing

Ha. The old lady mocked, Then why dont you continue to brag and say that Lin Jing is rushing to get to know your wife? Im afraid you dont believe it yourself!

Xue Sheng: That was actually the case.

However, back then, when Ye Li told him that she knew Lin Jing, he did not believe her. He still remembered the first time he saw Lin Jing, he was shocked and thought that Ye Li was spouting nonsense

It was no wonder these people did not believe her.

The corners of Xue Shengs lips twitched. He decided to speak less. After all, it would be wrong to speak more. He immediately said, Alright, lets not talk about others on such an occasion. The main character today is Xixi. She should be coming down from upstairs. We

Before he could finish speaking, the old lady said sternly, Why cant you say it? Your wife did something wrong and bragged in front of so many people. As her mother-in-law, cant I teach her a lesson?

Xue Sheng: !!

He lowered his voice. Mom, its Xixis birthday today. There are so many people here. You dont want to make things too ugly!

The old lady was aggressive. How is it that Im making things too ugly? Its clearly your wife who is speaking nonsense here. You unfilial son, cant I just say a few words to you?

Liu Yiqiu also said, Thats right. Brother, Sister-in-law is being like this. You have to take care of her. Everyone has lived in Bin City for so many years. Who doesnt know each other? Everyone knows each other. Sister-in-law has no connections to get to know such a big shot

Then how can you be sure that my mother-in-law doesnt know such a big shot?

When Xiang Huais voice suddenly sounded, Liu Yiqiu, Xue Yao, and the rest realized that Xiang Huai had not been in the room since Lin Jing was mentioned.

At that moment, he was standing at the door. It seemed like he had just returned from outside.

Xiang Huai had both hands in his pockets and actually wanted to retort. However, Lin Jing had just sent him a message to ask him to pick her up, so he had missed the argument just now.

Liu Yiqiu was stunned. Facing Xiang Huai, her voice became much weaker. How could I have the chance to get to know her in the first place? Why dont you just say that you know Lin Jings husband?

Xiang Huai immediately laughed. How do you know that my mother-in-law doesnt know him?

Liu Yiqiu was stunned. W-what do you mean?

Xiang Huai suddenly turned around and said to the person outside, Come in.

The moment he said this, everyone turned to look at the door. Only then did they realize that Xiang Huai had gone out to pick someone up. Someone who could make him personally pick them up was definitely not just anyone!
