Chapter 108: He actually tried to intimidate me with his aggressive attitude?
This was a matter of worldly talent scouts and exceptional individuals, while she was merely a down-on-her-luck young woman. This stark contrast left Yu Yuetong with mixed feelings.
Ji Momo watched this scene with displeasure, as if a flame was burning in her chest. She sneered at Qin Yu, "What a fine couple. I didn't expect they could show affection in such a setting. It's a pity that glory should be earned through strength, not through such petty displays of affection."
Qin Yu paused slightly, then turned to face Ji Momo, his eyes filled with disdain and sarcasm. "Do you think you can turn things around with your cunning?"
"Oh? It seems you really want to use me as a stepping stone." Ji Momo didn't back down, a smirk playing on her lips, her pretty smile hiding a hint of calculation. She seemed to have completely forgotten about Yu Yuetong's existence, especially as an adversary.
"Stop being so arrogant and lawless. Do you really think you have the right to fight against us?" Yu Yuetong's anger, which she had finally managed to calm down, surged up again, and she couldn't help but sneer. Although she knew that her journey was not easy, she was absolutely unwilling to show any cowardice.
Just as the discussion in the hall was getting heated and the various forces were at odds, a sudden commotion reached everyone's ears. Several men in suits walked in, exuding a strong business aura, clearly the main characters who had come to stir up trouble.
"It seems today's gathering has attracted quite a few interested parties." Qin Yu smiled, his tone authoritative, but when he turned to Yu Yuetong, he added a touch of gentleness. "Be careful, if anyone tries to sabotage us... leave the orders to me."
Through Qin Yu's gaze, Yu Yuetong seemed to sense his high regard for her. At this moment, she understood even more the complexity and unfathomable depth of this struggle, which made her unconsciously shrink back, slightly wanting to get closer to Qin Yu, but suddenly being forced to tighten her grip on him by his wary aura.
"I understand," she replied softly, but that hint of vulnerability remained.
Several up-and-coming business people tried to smooth things over, but the atmosphere became increasingly tense. The cold war between Ji Momo and Qin Yu seemed to be a thorn in their way.
“I heard…” one of the men smiled slightly, his sharp gaze sweeping over Yu Yuetong and Qin Yu, “that there are some people in this family who seem to be making self-righteous plans, which is truly worrying.”
"If there's nothing substantial to offer, please proceed with extreme caution." Qin Yu smiled, but his eyes were sharp as knives. His unquestionable tone once again demonstrated his status within the family, sending chills down the spines of everyone present.
The courage Yu Yuetong held in her hands instantly faltered, yet the expectation and resentment buried deep within her heart suddenly burst forth with new life. She lowered her head, involuntarily biting her lip. "What exactly is this situation?"
Just then, a sharp shout rang out from the crowd outside the door, loud and clear, seemingly drawing everyone's attention...
With the sudden shout, the noise in the banquet hall instantly ceased, and the previously jarring argument fell into an awkward silence. Yu Yuetong's heart skipped a beat; it was a familiar yet unsettling tone, its tremor penetrating her very core.
"What's going on?" Qin Yu frowned, turned around, and his sharp gaze pierced through the crowd. His demeanor undoubtedly made him the focus of attention; his unusual calmness and profundity drew the attention of everyone around him.
"It's—that wretched woman, Ji Momo!" Yu Yuetong's face flushed red, her heart filled with resentment, and a nameless fire rose in her heart. She utterly loathed this domineering female supporting character, who sat on her head and pointed fingers as if the whole world belonged to her.
Just then, several bodyguards walked in, and the atmosphere became even more tense. Their serious demeanor seemed to foreshadow something bad about to happen. Yu Yuetong looked at Qin Yu uneasily, only to find that his expression was complex and deep, as if he was brewing something.
"Yuetong, calm down." Qin Yu's voice was deep and reassuring. He unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand, his expression becoming even more serious. But Yu Yuetong's heart was in turmoil, unable to find peace.
"I—I know, I need to calm down." She tried to suppress the fire in her heart and calm herself down. But the fear emanating from her body could not be hidden, and her slightly trembling hands revealed her inner unease.
As things became increasingly complicated, Ji Momo seemed to have taken the initiative, her words sharp: "Listen up, everyone, there are some 'two-faced people' here, trying to take advantage of family and love, they are really overestimating themselves!"
Everyone present turned to look, their chaotic gazes meeting as if watching a play. Yu Yuetong felt suffocated, wanting to refute, but with Qin Yu's strong support, she was so bewildered that she was powerless to argue.
Qin Yu finally patiently advised in a low voice, "There's no need to argue with her. Listen to me, let her talk to herself first."
"This is my business!" Yu Yuetong gritted her teeth, her anger raising her voice slightly, but a vague unease also struck her heart. She knew that if Ji Momo took the opportunity to provoke her now, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Do you think she can take you down? It's most important to stay grounded." Qin Yu's deep gaze lingered on Yu Yuetong, his meaning unclear. But Yu Yuetong felt a surge of emotion, a sense of security washing over her once again.
Amidst their emotional turmoil, Ji Momo suddenly approached Qin Yu, raising her chin and a mocking smile playing on her lips. "As you can see, Young Master Yu, this is something I'm willing to advise you on. That down-on-her-luck woman is not good enough for you. You'd be better off making a wise choice."
"Enough!" Yu Yuetong finally exploded, her fiery anger igniting her courage. She pushed Qin Yu away, looked Ji Momo directly in the eyes, and made no attempt to hide her hostility. "I don't want to hear your words. After all, I'm your real opponent!"
Everyone was stunned, never expecting that this originally weak woman would have such a powerful aura, as if she had transformed into a rooster, crowing loudly towards the sky without any discouragement.
"Haha! How ridiculous, trying to scare me with an aggressive attitude?" Ji Momo smiled disdainfully, her lips slightly raised, occasionally throwing out provocative glances, trying to suppress the fear and anxiety she felt.
Just as the atmosphere between the two reached its climax, a sudden, deafening crash came from outside the door. The once elegant banquet hall erupted into chaos as everyone turned towards the entrance, fearing that the impending major event would escalate the situation further.
"What's going on?" Qin Yu frowned, his slightly loosened fingers tightening again, as if he sensed the approaching danger.
Yu Yuetong's heart was also in turmoil, her mind pondering the mysteries behind this conflict. Was it a conspiracy or the truth? With the surging emotions and conflict intensifying, where would everything ultimately lead?
