Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Have you taken a liking to him?
At this moment, Chen Nanting also had a very unpleasant look on her face. She knew that Tong Yao was not just making idle threats. Although she was unaware of the business dealings between Tong Yao and Han Enzhen, she knew that over the past few years, Han Enzhen had become quite close to Tong Yao.
Even if it were just to save face for Tong Yao, Han Enzhen would indeed take such action.
After all, Guo Yun and Xiang Youyou were just small, unknown companies. The fact that they could attend such an occasion probably meant that they had held on to some influential coattails with a thick face.
Her family’s business hadn’t been doing well in recent years, lagging far behind the Fu and Han families. Han Enzhen’s relationship with her had also become distant. Given Han Enzhen’s temper, it was very possible that he would actually kick her out.
Thinking of this, Chen Nanting nudged Qin Hao with her elbow. Although she didn’t want to get involved in the matter, Guo Yun had been chatting and laughing with her just a moment ago. If Guo Yun really got driven away, it would be embarrassing for everyone.
Qin Hao softened his expression a bit and actively made amends: "Miss Tong, it really was just the young ones being foolish. Let’s drop the matter for the sake of us all being friends of Enzhen! After all, if things get stirred up it would be embarrassing for everyone."
Tong Yao glanced at Guo Yun and Chen Nanting, her face cold: "I can let it go, but they need to apologize to Miaomiao."
Chen Nanting and Guo Yun’s attack on Guo Miaomiao was primarily because of her, in an attempt to humiliate her directly. Understanding this, Tong Yao demanded these two apologize to Guo Miaomiao.
Hearing this, Guo Yun looked upset but didn’t say a word, fearing Tong Yao might actually kick her out. Chen Nanting also felt resentful. Why should she apologize to Guo Miaomiao?
What kind of person does Guo Miaomiao think she is?
But Qin Hao nodded, saying: "Apology is due."
He then looked towards Chen Nanting: "Hurry and apologize to Miss Guo."
Chen Nanting glared at Qin Hao in fury, feeling that he lacked the spine to let his woman bows down to another woman. She looked at Cheng Feng in grievance.
"Brother Cheng, are you just going to stand by as she bullies me?"
Chen Nanting felt that she had known Cheng Feng for so many years and if Cheng Feng were willing to speak up, Tong Yao would surely give Cheng Feng face and not force her to lose face in front of Tong Yao.
But to her surprise, Cheng Feng only glanced at her, saying in a low voice: "Nanting, when you’re wrong, you should apologize. You were the one who messed up first. You’re not a child anymore and you should take responsibility for your mistakes. This way you can learn a lesson and avoid repeating such errors in the future."
Upon hearing this, Chen Nanting bit her lip, glaring at Guo Miaomiao, and said with ill temper: "I’m sorry."
Guo Miaomiao quickly glanced at Chen Nanting and then lowered her head quickly. The truth was she initially wanted to say it wasn’t necessary, but considering that Tong Yao was backing her up, she couldn’t let her down, hence she accepted Chen Nanting’s apology graciously.
Seeing that even Chen Nanting had apologized, Guo Yun lost her momentum and hastily followed suit. "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said those things about you. Please forgive me."
Her voice was not loud, only those at their table could hear her. This made her feel a little bit better.
Xiang Youyou watched as Chen Nanting and Guo Yun paid for their mistakes. She felt lucky that she managed to keep her mouth shut and not made any hasty comments, otherwise, it would not have been just Guo Yun and Chen Nanting losing face this time.
This Tong Yao was not as simple as she seemed on the surface.
Being able to mix with Han Enzhen meant that she must have some background.
Seeing how carefree Tong Yao was about spending money on clothes, and how warmly the boutique owner treated her, Xiang Youyou deduced that Tong Yao must often shop for clothes and must have considerable wealth. However, Xiang Youyou was puzzled. She couldn’t figure out who Tong Yao really was to have such capability.
If what Chen Nanting had said was true, that Tong Yao merely owned a breeding farm and her husband was a doctor, she shouldn’t have that much wealth and capability, right? 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Nevertheless, regardless of that, this Tong Yao was indeed quite capable and knew a lot of people. Xiang Youyou got the gist and dared not to cross paths with Tong Yao anymore.
She sneakily stole a glance at Cheng Feng. Seeing his outstanding appearance, her heart skipped a beat. As soon as she had sat down, she had noticed Cheng Feng. Chen Nanting seemed to be quite courteous to Cheng Feng. It seemed that his identity was quite extraordinary, perhaps also a young and wealthy businessman.
Coming to such an occasion alone, he must be single.
In just a while, Xiang Youyou had already pretty much figured out the identities of the few people at the table in her mind.
With Tong Yao forcefully making Chen Nanting and Guo Yun apologize, the two settled down. Soon it was time for the banquet to begin, and Han Enzhen and his wife arrived at their table to toast, holding their child. As soon as they arrived, they greeted Tong Yao and Cheng Feng. This further confirmed to Xiang Youyou that these two were not as simple as they appeared to be.
After Mr. and Mrs. Han Fu had left, Xiang Youyou raised her tea cup, intending to have a drink with Tong Yao and Cheng Feng to apologize for Guo Yun’s inconsiderate comments earlier on.
"Yunyun has spoken out of turn. I hope you won’t mind. I use tea instead of wine to apologize."
Cheng Feng was helping Si Yang with his food. He didn’t say a word and seemed as if he hadn’t heard her. He had already seen plenty of the likes of Xiang Youyou.
However, Tong Yao slightly curved her eyes and said straightforwardly: "If you really want to apologize, you should apologize to Miaomiao. After all, they offended Miaomiao earlier."
Xiang Youyou immediately looked at Guo Miaomiao, "Then I’ll toast to you."
Guo Miaomiao hastily held up her tea cup and symbolically took a sip.
Guo Yun, however, was not pleased. Looking at Xiang Youyou, she spoke softly: "Sister Youyou, what are you doing? Why do you have to apologize to them again?"
She had already apologized once. Xiang Youyou’s action seemed redundant and put her on the spot once again.
Xiang Youyou said: "I’ll explain it to you when we get back."
Although Guo Yun was not happy, upon hearing Xiang Youyou’s words, she held back and did not ask further.
Today was a busy day for Han Enzhen and it was not a time for idle chat. So after finishing their food, Tong Yao and Han Enzhen bid everyone goodbye and prepared to take their kids and leave. Cheng Feng voluntarily offered: "I don’t have anything to do right now. I’ll give you a ride home!"
Tong Yao didn’t hold back and accepted the offer straightaway, "Thank you for the trouble."
Xiang Youyou and Guo Yun followed them out to see Tong Yao getting into Cheng Feng’s car. Guo Yun snorted, "She’s so shameless. A divorced woman still randomly hops into other people’s cars."
Xiang Youyou, however, asked: "Who is that man named Cheng?"
Chen Nanting always called him Brother Cheng, but Xiang Youyou wasn’t clear what his actual name was.
Guo Yun said grumpily: "How would I know who he is? He’s not as handsome as Director Gu, I’m not interested in him at all."
Xiang Youyou disagreed: "I actually think he’s quite handsome, even more charming than Director Gu."
Guo Yun looked at her with suspicion: "You couldn’t have taken a liking to him, could you?"
