Qi Yuye nodded, took Nan Shu's hand, and walked towards the main hall.

The group stared at Qi Yuye and Nan Shu. After they left, they gathered together again and started bringing up the topic from before.

"Did you see that? That's Nan Shu. The old lady of the Chen family was talking about. She caused her ex-husband to go to jail, and then she hooked up with President Qi."

"How can there be such a shameless woman in the world? If I were her, I would dig a hole and hide myself away, never to be seen again."

"Who says otherwise? I never expected them to swagger in to Madam Song's birthday banquet today. Isn't this just deliberately trying to cause her trouble?"

"Let's go take a look too. In case a dispute breaks out later, we can say a few words on behalf of Madam Song."

A group of people, eager to watch the spectacle, walked towards the main hall.

Qi Yuye and Nan Shu were completely unaware of this matter. The two had just arrived at the main hall hand in hand when they saw the Qi family members, who had been chatting animatedly, suddenly fall silent and turn to look at them.

Song Ci's gaze swept over Nan Shu and Qi Yuye's faces, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"You've arrived, please have a seat."

As soon as Song Ci finished speaking, a lean man standing to the side couldn't help but snort coldly, his eyes filled with displeasure as he looked at Qi Yuye and Nan Shu.

"Everyone else arrived early, and you two, as the younger generation, are only arriving so late. What kind of behavior is that?"

Nan Shu realized that these people were deliberately trying to cause trouble. Just as she was about to explain, Qi Yuye suddenly tugged at her arm.

Nan Shu instantly understood Qi Yuye's meaning and immediately abandoned the idea of ​​explaining.

Not to mention that everyone knows about the relationship between Qi Yuye and Song Ci, it's only 5 p.m. now, two hours before 7 p.m. on the invitation, so how can there be any talk of being late?

Qi Yuye's gaze swept coldly over the man who had spoken.

"Uncle's words are truly insightful. Where are Xiaodie and the others?"

Qi Yuye's words immediately rendered the man who had just spoken speechless.

His own child hasn't even arrived yet, and he's already lecturing Qi Yuye and Nan Shu. Qi Yuye's words just now felt like a slap in the face to him.

For a moment, the entire main hall fell silent. Everyone knew Qi Yuye's fighting prowess and that he would not give them any face. If they rashly stepped forward, they would probably be ruthlessly rebuked by Qi Yuye.

Thinking of this, no one dared to provoke them.

Song Ci smiled, stood up, and went to greet Nan Shu.

"It's alright. Even if we're late, it's still the children's good intentions. If I, as an elder, were to hold it against the younger generation, wouldn't I seem petty?"

Seeing that Song Ci was about to take Nan Shu's hand, Qi Yuye's eyes darkened, and he pulled Nan Shu behind him.

Seeing this, the uncle who had spoken earlier couldn't help but speak again.

"Sister-in-law, look at what this looks like. You're still trying to cover for them, but they don't give you any face at all. They dare to give you attitude in front of so many people."

"If you ask me, just lay that matter out in the open. She did something that makes her unworthy of being a daughter-in-law of the Qi family."

Qi Yao's expression was very unpleasant. As soon as he said that, Nan Shu instantly understood that these people were after her.

Her gaze fell on Qi Yao's face, her eyes filled with some doubt.

Now that Qi Yuye has taken over the company, these people are unwilling, but they don't dare to make trouble openly. But why did they disregard Qi Yuye's feelings today and embarrass her in public?

Before Nan Shu could figure it out, Song Ci suddenly spoke up.

"It's just a matter between young people, why should we old folks interfere? Everyone has their own problems."

"As long as they can handle their family affairs well and keep the company running smoothly, I'll be at ease."

"Sister-in-law, you don't know yet, but because of this, the company's senior management is all talking about it. Do we really have to wait until Shengda Group's shares fall before dealing with this?"

Qi continued to fan the flames, and several elders from the Qi family nearby seemed to agree with him.

Just then, a loud shout suddenly came from outside.

"That's right, Madam Song, you can't be too soft-hearted. Such immoral things will damage the reputation of our Shengda Group."

Qi Yuye frowned. He finally understood why Song Ci had specially sent an invitation to Nan Shu. It turned out that today's birthday banquet was not for Song Ci's birthday at all, but a trap set for them.

Qi Yuye cast a cold glance at the person who had just spoken. The person, who had been watching the show with amusement, immediately fell silent and shrank back, afraid that Qi Yuye would notice him.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't want any unfounded rumors about the Qi family. If it's because of my relationship with Nan Shu, then you have no right to interfere."

Qi Yuye took the gift from Nan Shu's hand and casually stuffed it into Song Ci's hand.

"Now that the gift has been delivered, we'll be leaving."

Seeing Qi Yuye's attitude, Qi Yao couldn't help but step forward again.

"Stop right there! What kind of attitude is this? Is this how you should treat your elders?"

Qi Yuye didn't stop walking, pulling Nan Shu straight outside.

A crowd of onlookers had already gathered outside, and when they saw Qi Yuye walking towards them, they quickly parted to make way for him.

"I originally wanted to give you some face, thinking that since your father passed away, you have taken over this family and company, and as the head of the family, I should give you some face. But you have really gone too far."

In front of everyone, Song Ci's face suddenly darkened, and he looked coldly at Qi Yuye.

Qi Yuye stopped in his tracks only after hearing Song Ci's words.

Qi Yuye's lips curled slightly, his eyes filled with indifference.

It seems that this whole scheme is aimed at the two of them. If they don't take the bait, it would be a shame to let them down after all the trouble they've gone through to set this up.

Seeing the worried look in Nan Shu's eyes, Qi Yuye reached out and patted Nan Shu's hand, indicating that she could rest assured.

Then Qi Yuye and Nan Shu turned around and looked at Song Ci.

"Since you know this is a family matter, it's one thing for you, as elders, to offer advice in private, but you know in your hearts what your intentions are in bringing it up in a setting like today."

"If that's the case, why pretend here? I don't know what dirty water you're going to throw at us again, but Nan Shu is the mother of my two children, and she is the only wife I've ever truly committed to in this life. No one can change that."

Hearing Qi Yuye's words and feeling the warmth from his hands, Nan Shu was deeply moved.
