Ye Ya didn't care much about others, but Fu Wan Jing was different. Not only did she come from a prestigious family and possess striking beauty, but she was also Lu Tianyang's first love. Moreover, Fu Wan Jing still harbored feelings for him, which made Ye Ya feel the need to be cautious.
Lu Tianyang wrapped his arm around her waist, and seeing her jealousy made him quite happy. At least it proved that he still held some significance in this woman's heart.
After instructing Guo Ma to take care of Chen Chen, a long Rolls Royce was already parked outside, with Zuo Kai personally driving.
The banquet was held at the most upscale club in Ning Cheng, attended by the city's elite. Zhao Meiqin naturally wouldn't miss such an event and came along with Ye Zhen.
Ye Qi always believed she needed to find a man even more outstanding than Lu Tianyang. Why should Ye Ya be able to marry into a wealthy family as a Young Mistress while she couldn't?
Tonight, she dressed exceptionally well. Zhao Meiqin had already done her homework before coming and had identified several key targets for Ye Qi.
The mayor of Ning Cheng would also be presiding over the event tonight, primarily focused on attracting investment. Building good relationships with the government was crucial in the business world. Projects supported by the government were like prime cuts of meat; everyone wanted a bite.
Ye Ya felt somewhat nervous. It wasn't that she lacked confidence in attending such occasions, but tonight's important banquet, with Lu Tianyang by her side, made her worry that her past negative news might affect him.
She instinctively tightened her grip on Lu Tianyang's arm. "Lu Tianyang, what if I embarrass you?"
Noticing her anxiety, Lu Tianyang gently patted her hand. "It's okay, my dear. If something really happens, you still have me. Don't worry."
Seeing his doting expression, Ye Ya nodded. In truth, it didn't matter how others viewed her; what mattered most was that this man beside her didn't mind. She didn't need to pay too much attention to others' gazes.
The luxurious Rolls Royce of the Lu Family appeared at the entrance of the club, instantly attracting many eyes. The Lu Family held significant influence in Ning Cheng, and everyone wanted to get to know Lu Tianyang.
Zuo Kai got out and opened the door. Lu Tianyang stepped out first, his handsome appearance combined with his impressive background made many women think that they would be willing to spend even just one night with such an outstanding man.
Then Lu Tianyang extended his hand to help Ye Ya out of the car. Upon seeing her, countless women inwardly cursed; they simply couldn't understand why such an exceptional man would marry someone like Ye Ya.
Ye Ya linked her arm with Lu Tianyang's and softly said beside him, "Honey, many women are probably cursing me right now, wondering how I managed to marry such a wonderful husband."
Lu Tianyang smiled slightly, feeling that many men were watching her. He thought that Ye Ya tonight outshone all the women present. Some might be more beautiful than Ye Ya, but none possessed her unique charm, that quality emanating from her gaze.
In a corner of the crowd, a pair of eyes had been fixed on Ye Ya ever since she stepped out of the car. They observed her whispering to Lu Tianyang, noting her delicate smile, which was a stark contrast to the fierce woman who had confronted him that night.
Long Shaotang would not mistake her; she was indeed that infuriating woman. He hadn’t expected her to be Lu Tianyang’s partner.
He tightened his grip on the wine glass in his hand, suddenly finding it amusing. Lu Tianyang had good taste; the woman beside him exuded more elegance than any other woman in the venue.
Fu Wan Jing had arrived earlier and was taken aback to see Lu Tianyang attending such an important event with Ye Ya. Did someone of her status truly deserve to be by his side?
It should have been her standing next to Lu Tianyang. Ye Ya, I won’t concede so easily; I will win Lu Tianyang back.
Lu Tianyang openly acknowledged Ye Ya’s identity. With him around, no one dared to make things difficult for her; after all, it was evident how protective Lu Tianyang was of her. Who would dare offend a woman like that? It would be tantamount to provoking Lu Tianyang himself.
Fu Wan Jing felt a surge of resentment as she approached them. “Lu Tianyang.”
Upon seeing Fu Wan Jing, Ye Ya gently pinched Lu Tianyang’s arm. He chuckled inwardly, unaware of what this woman was thinking. He simply nodded at Fu Wan Jing in acknowledgment.
Fu Wan Jing hadn’t anticipated that Lu Tianyang would treat her like an ordinary friend. She felt bitter; after all, they had once loved each other, hadn’t they?
“Miss Ye, long time no see.”
Everyone else called her Mrs. Lu, but only Fu Wan Jing referred to her as Miss Ye. Ye Ya ignored her and linked her arm with Lu Tianyang’s. “Honey, I’m a bit hungry. Would you accompany me to get something to eat?”
“Sure, what do you want?” Lu Tianyang knew she hadn’t eaten much due to nerves earlier in the evening; now that she mentioned being hungry, it took precedence over everything else.
Seeing Fu Wan Jing’s sullen expression, Ye Ya couldn’t help but smirk inwardly. No matter how much you try to sow discord, as long as Lu Tianyang stands by me, Fu Wan Jing, I won’t give you any chance at all.
As she walked into the dining area, Ye Ya encountered Ye Zhen. After all, he was her elder, and she politely greeted him, "Grandpa."
Seeing Lu Tianyang there, Ye Zhen naturally wanted to engage him in conversation. Everyone knew he had married his granddaughter, and such a valuable connection was not something to be overlooked; businessmen were all the same.
Ye Ya was not naive; she had already picked up on her grandfather's intentions. "Honey, why don't you chat with Grandpa for a bit? I'll go grab some food."
"Sure, dear. Make sure to eat plenty."
Ye Ya didn't need to network like this anymore, especially since she could sense her grandfather's motives and found them somewhat amusing. It seemed that her grandfather, who once suggested severing ties with her, now found her presence useful.
At a banquet like this, the food was naturally top-notch, but usually not many people ate much. Ye Ya selected a few of her favorite dishes and found a spot to sit.
As she quietly enjoyed her meal, she felt as if someone was watching her. However, with so many people at the banquet, she couldn't tell who it was.
Fu Wan Jing could not swallow her frustration. Seeing that Lu Tianyang was not by Ye Ya's side, she couldn't help but approach.
"Ye Ya, how can you shamelessly show up here? Don't you know what everyone is saying about you behind your back?"
Listening to Fu Wan Jing's words, Ye Ya put down her fork. "Do you have a problem with me? Just now my husband ignored you, and now you're here to vent your anger on me? Who's more shameless?"
"You little tramp! What makes you think you deserve Lu Tianyang?" Fu Wan Jing had done her research; with such a bad reputation as Ye Ya's, standing next to Lu Tianyang only tarnished his image in her eyes.
Ye Ya stood up, a slight smile playing on her lips. Tonight, the shoes she wore made her slightly taller than Fu Wan Jing, giving her an edge in presence.
"Whether I'm a tramp or not is something Lu Tianyang knows well. Whether I deserve him or not is up to him to decide. Someone like you would never even catch his eye if he were offered you on a platter; he prefers someone like me." Ye Ya felt herself becoming increasingly bold; looking at Fu Wan Jing's furious green face brought her some satisfaction.
"You shameless woman!" Fu Wan Jing couldn't help but want to slap her across the face. To be honest, she didn't take Ye Ya seriously physically; however, with so many people around today, she didn't want to cause trouble that might affect Lu Tianyang.
She caught her hand and gently applied pressure. "Fu Wan Jing, don’t push your luck. The one who will be embarrassed later is you, not me."
After saying that, she released Fu Wan Jing's hand, not wanting to continue entangling herself with her. However, Fu Wan Jing tugged at her, and her skirt got stained with cream.
"Ye Ya, just wait and see," Fu Wan Jing huffed coldly, her heart boiling with anger but unable to lash out.
"I'll be waiting," Ye Ya replied elegantly. Seeing her clothes were dirty, she had no choice but to head into the restroom.
After cleaning off the cream, she was startled to see a man behind her in the mirror. She quickly turned around. "What are you doing here? Are you insane? This is the women's restroom! Do you have any common sense? How shameless!"
Long Shaotang observed the woman who had just been so graceful now berating him, just like that day. "Ye Ya, you really know how to act."
Acting? Ye Ya gritted her teeth. "What does it matter to you? Move aside."
For some reason, looking at his half-smiling expression made Ye Ya feel that this man was somewhat dangerous. Remembering that day when he drove a Range Rover and now finding him here again, she suspected he was not an ordinary man.
"Nobody dares to speak to me like that," Long Shaotang stated plainly, clearly unwilling to let her pass. He planned to search the city for her and hadn’t expected to encounter her again tonight. He had witnessed that scene earlier and wondered just how many sides this infuriating woman had.
"I saved you out of kindness, so don’t act ungrateful. You still owe me five thousand for your hospital bills," Ye Ya regretted her decision. Was this what it felt like to be Dong Guo saving a wolf?
"So I should thank you by divorcing Lu Tianyang?" Long Shaotang knew he shouldn't provoke Lu Tianyang's woman, but this woman was so infuriating that he still wanted to have her.
"You’re insane." Ye Ya was too lazy to argue with him. With his hand blocking the door, she swiftly grabbed his wrist and used his own momentum against him, escaping in an instant.
Damn it! The esteemed Longmen Young Master was actually ambushed by a woman. If this got out, Long Shaotang felt he wouldn’t be able to show his face again.
Interesting, Ye Ya thought. You were the one who provoked me first.
After Ye Ya left, the scene she had just witnessed caught Fu Wan Jing's attention. A slight smile crept onto her lips; perhaps she could collaborate with Long Shaotang.
Back at the banquet hall, Lu Tianyang spotted her immediately. "Wife, where did you run off to? Didn't I tell you not to wander around?"
Ye Ya didn't want to share what had just happened with him. "It's nothing. I got some cream on me and just went to the restroom."
Long Shaotang appeared out of nowhere, like a ghost. Upon seeing him, Ye Ya instinctively tightened her grip on Lu Tianyang's hand. Long Shaotang was very polite. "Lu, is this your esteemed wife?"
How dare you pretend not to know me, you shameless person! Ye Ya silently cursed in her heart.
Lu Tianyang sized up Long Shaotang and nodded. "Yes, she is my wife. The one who severely injured your subordinate last time was my wife."
With that, Lu Tianyang seemed quite proud of himself.
