The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy

was not worth his–

“Xu Yini.”

Lu Huaiyu finally spoke, his voice cold and without the slightest bit of warmth.

“It looks like you still do not remember my previous warning at all.”

His voice was extremely cold, and every word he said was crisp and clear, carrying a bone-chilling chill.

The smile on Xu Yini’s face suddenly froze, and her heart suddenly thumped.

In the next moment, Lu Huaiyu’s words fell clearly.

“You don’t have the right to call me by my name like that.”

…

The entire banquet hall went dead silent.

Everyone was stunned.

Everyone knew that the Xu family and the Lu family were family friends.
Xu Yini had been in love with Lu Huaiyu for many years.

Although she could no longer pursue him and Lu Huaiyu already had a girlfriend, the relationship between the two families was clear.
The friendship that had lasted for many years was clear.

No matter what, they still had to be civil to each other on the surface.

However, who would have thought that Lu Huaiyu would not refrain from disrespecting Xu Yini in public?!

No, this was not as simple as just disrespecting Xu Yini.
It was as if Xu Yi’s face and dignity had been mercilessly ripped off in front of everyone!

Xu Yini had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation.
When she had called out “Huaiyu”, everyone had thought that they were very close.
Who would have thought that Lu Huaiyu would respond in such a way?

‘You don’t have the right to call me by my name like that.’

This sentence was like a resounding slap to Xu Yini’s face!

The color quickly drained from Xu Yini’s face.
Her limbs were cold and her entire body was stiff.

The smile on her face suddenly froze.
A huge sense of humiliation surged up, causing her face to tense up and burn.

She did not even know what kind of expression she should put on at this moment.
Thus, the frozen curve at the corner of her lips gradually pulled into an embarrassing line.
It was like a low-quality mask that had silently cracked at a certain moment until all that was left was a miserable mess.

“Also, as far as I know, my girlfriend indeed didn’t accompany Gu Siqi and Gu Sicheng to go horseback riding today.”

Lu Huaiyu knew that this morning, Shen Li had accompanied Shen Zhijin to Seven Treasures Mountain to pay tribute to Gu Tingyin.

Therefore, he had deliberately given them more time to be alone and had only flown to Hong Kong City in the afternoon.

“She had other matters to attend to.”

Lu Huaiyu had one hand in his pocket.
His posture was noble and languid.
He tilted his head slightly and looked at Xu Yini with an extremely cold gaze, which was full of arrogance and pride,

“But, what does this have to do with you?”

Xu Yini’s fingernails dug her nails deeply into the palms of her hands, causing her to feel pain.

However, at this moment, she no longer cared about this physical pain.

Countless gazes had fallen on her, either mocking or ridiculing her.
They were all watching her being turned into a joke!

Her throat tightened.
She wanted to say something, but she could not open her mouth.

Just then, a gentle voice sounded out.

“Second Master Lu, Miss Xu probably only asked this out of concern as a friend.”

The hall was very quiet.
This sentence had been heard by many people.

Yan Zhen rolled her eyes when she saw this.
She fiddled with her manicure and sneered.

“Since you know you can’t get on Second Master Lu’s good side, you decided to try and please Xu Yini instead.
You’re really something.
You don’t even care if she likes you or not!”

Lu Huaiyu turned his head to look.

Yan Fei felt a chill run down her spine as he looked at her.
She forced a smile and subconsciously lowered her voice.

“… It’s rare for Miss Ning to come to Hong Kong City as a guest.
We all welcome her, so we couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.
Second Master, please don’t take it to heart.”

As Yan Fei said this, she had thought that it might make Lu Huaiyu unhappy.
Unexpectedly, Lu Huaiyu suddenly smiled.

She was instantly stunned.
She was at a loss and inexplicably felt nervous.

“Second Master Lu–”

Just then, a deep and weathered voice came from outside the door.

“Tangtang has returned home.
Why would we need any outsiders to welcome her on behalf of the Gu family?”
