The way people looked at Xu Yunxiao became complex.

The elderly grandma put down her teacup, her face darkened as she spoke, "Yunxiao, is what Yaxin said the truth?"

"No, it's not true!" Xu Yunxiao panicked and hurriedly said, "A friend lent it to me."

"Oh? Which friend?" Grandma raised her eyebrows and asked.

"I, I don't know either... but he really exists, he's always been helping me in the shadows, even causing havoc in Langtaosha Nightclub to confront Young Master Li, but I really don't know who he is," Xu Yunxiao said anxiously.

Originally, that mysterious person was a secret in her heart, but now that she was wrongly accused, she could only say this.

"Stop trying to give yourself unwarranted credit!" Xu Changjian sneered at this moment, "Everyone knows that incident was nothing but a rumor!

A while back something big indeed happened in Lake City: Li Family's Young Master Li, someone pummeled his manhood in Langtaosha Nightclub, and rumors had it that it might be related to Xu Yunxiao.

At first, people were worried for the Xu family.

But as time went by, since the Li Family had made no move nor shown any sign of retaliation,

everyone eventually regarded it as hearsay.

Otherwise, with the Li Family's standing in Lake City, they would have already made the Xu family pay dearly.

"Exactly!"

Xu Yaxin also mocked, "You may be pretty, but you are already married, and to a good-for-nothing at that, you think someone would confront the Li Family for you, a worn-out second-hand good for nothing? To give you eight million out of the blue? Keep dreaming!"

After she finished.

Others couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Especially the women who were jealous of Xu Yunxiao's beauty, they found it extremely satisfying at this moment.

Those young masters who couldn't win Xu Yunxiao's favor also felt as though they had found an outlet, laughing and saying, "Right, just a worn out shoe, who would care?"

Xu Yunxiao's eyes were red with tears from the mockery pouring down her face.

"Slap—!"

Suddenly, a loud slap sound echoed in the banquet hall, bringing everyone to a sudden silence!

Looking up.

It was Qin Feng who had firmly slapped Xu Yaxin across the face!

"You, you lowlife, how dare you hit me?!"

Being slapped in front of so many people, Xu Yaxin's face was scorching hot, shaky on her feet, not knowing if it was from the slap or from anger.

"If your mouth isn't clean, next time you speak out of turn, it won't be just a slap," Qin Feng said, a glimmer of sharp killing intent in his eyes.

Xu Yaxin shivered uncontrollably, not daring to utter another word.

"How dare you!"

At this time, the elderly grandma slammed the table fiercely, raging, "Making a spectacle with violence in front of everyone, you bring shame to the Xu family!"

Qin Feng looked at her and scoffed, "All of you ganging up to bully my wife, and you don't call that shameful?"

"It's her own filthy behavior, why blame us?" The grandma retorted.

"That money was from me to her, what's unclean about that?" Qin Feng added.

"You? Heh..."

The grandma scoffed disdainfully, sipping her tea with a smirk.

Xu Changjian and others burst into laughter at this point, "Qin Feng, do you even have eight million? Your entire fortune probably doesn't even amount to eight hundred, let alone eight million? Hahaha..."

Others couldn't restrain from laughing out loud either.

They had heard of Qin Feng, the penniless good-for-nothing; where would he get eight million from?

"Qin Feng..."

Xu Yunxiao looked at him then, saying, "Quick, reveal that person's name, who is he? I remember it was you who carried those two cases into my office; it was given to you by that mysterious person, wasn't it?" Your support on * keeps this series going.

"There's no one else, it was really me."

Qin Feng shrugged.

Upon hearing this, another roar of laughter erupted from the crowd.

"You... even now, you still won't tell me the truth, won't prove my innocence? You, you've disappointed me greatly!"

Xu Yunxiao was furious.

She thought that Qin Feng was too embarrassed to admit that there was a mysterious person, so he had been refusing to acknowledge their existence.

At this moment.

Suddenly, a team of police officers arrived, and the hall instantly fell silent.

The captain scanned the room, approached Xu Yunxiao, and said, "Xu Yunxiao, I'm Zhang Ming from Lake City police department. Someone has reported that you are involved in a theft case, please come with me for an investigation!"

"I, I didn't..."

Xu Yunxiao panicked.

At this time, Qin Feng said, "Let's go together! Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen!"

Soon.

The two were taken away by the police.

Watching their departing figures, Xu Yaxin, who had just been scared witless, excitedly exclaimed, "Scum, you are the disgrace of the Xu family, from now on, you are no longer part of our family!"

"Yes, indeed!"

Xu Changjian also sneered, "Get out of here! You don't deserve Wanfu Building, hahaha..."

The grandmother looked at Xu Yaxin and nodded in satisfaction, "Yaxin, well done."

"Grandma, they got what they deserved."

Xu Yaxin said excitedly.

She had previously talked with the owner of the company that lost eight million, and it was also her who reported it to the police.

As long as Xu Yunxiao was kicked out of the Xu family,

Grandma would surely hand over her company to Xu Changjian for management, then Xu Changjian taking over her company would naturally return it to her.

At this moment.

The grandmother stood up and said to everyone with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, my apologies, I did not expect to air our dirty laundry at the banquet, hehe, but this does not affect the Xu family's partnership with all of you, from today on, Changjian will represent the Xu family in the partnership with Haohan Company."

"Good, good!"

The guests didn't care much about the family affairs and got up one after another to toast Changjian.

After all, whoever cooperates with Haohan Company will have the chance to become a leading figure in the Lake City business circle.

The banquet quickly returned to calm, and everyone continued their merry mingling as if nothing had happened.

The medical prodigy Su Ruolan felt disgusted with the grandmother's family's behavior and wanted to leave, but her best friend held her back and said, "Aren't you eager to see Luo Hongyan's performance? Aside from Wanfu Building, nowhere else will do."

Su Ruolan had no choice but to sit down again and glanced at the large screen on the banquet hall wall, muttering, "By the way, the 'Qixi Love' themed lovers' dinner hasn't started yet..."

It was not just her.

All the guests at the Wanfu Building occasionally glanced at the big screen, curious why it hadn't started yet.

Even.

The crowd gathered outside the Wanfu Building was also anxiously waiting.

...

In the police station.

Xu Yunxiao was being detained alone and was giving a deposition.

At this moment, she hated Qin Feng to death.

As long as Qin Feng said who gave him those two boxes of money, she could clear her name, but Qin Feng kept saying that the money was his!

At that moment.

The deposition had only reached halfway and hadn't even gotten to the main issue when someone came in and whispered something to Zhang Ming, who was responsible for the interrogation.

Zhang Ming put down his pen, stood up, and said to Xu Yunxiao, "Sorry about this, we've just obtained evidence that your eight million is not related to the theft, and you can leave now."

"Really?"

Xu Yunxiao was somewhat astonished, not expecting things to be resolved so quickly, when she hadn't done anything!

Could it be... Qin Feng?
