Ye Yan Xi continuously struggled in Xiao Yu's hands, trying to break free from his imprisonment. In the end, she was still dragged out of the room. When Xiao Yu stopped, she also released her hand.
Ye Yanxi didn't forget to resist. She thought that Xiao Yu had suddenly thought it through and wouldn't force her down. However, when she raised her head, she met several gazes from the living room. It was as if she was standing under a spotlight.
In an instant, Ye Yan Xi wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Why did she suddenly come to the living room? If Xiao Yu had dragged her here without a word, then they must have seen the scene of her resisting, unwilling to give up even if she died, right?
This was simply too embarrassing!
At this moment, Ye Yan Xi's face was full of embarrassment. On the other hand, Xiao Yu was calmly walking towards the living room.
After walking a few steps, she discovered that Ye Yan Xi wasn't following them, so Xiao Yu stopped on the spot, ”What's wrong?” Why aren't you coming over? ”
”Total... CEO, that... I don't need to go. ” Facing so many curious gazes, Ye Yan Xi's heart was unsettled. She immediately wanted to escape upstairs, ”I think it's better if I go to work. Dinner is …”
”Do you think all the servants are very idle and want to send it up to you alone?” Xiao Yu's voice was calm and forceful, as if he couldn't resist at all.
”…” Ye Yanxi was also speechless. Was she really an employee?
With so many people watching, if she was to drag things out any longer, there would be even more people who would not be able to watch.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Yan Xi lowered her head and followed behind Xiao Yu towards the dining room.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Ye Yanxi discovered that many people had already taken their seats. There was only one empty seat, and there wasn't even an extra one. It was likely that the people from the Xiao family didn't welcome her either.
”What's going on?” Xiao Yu frowned and scolded the servant beside him: ”Why only leave one spot?”
The voice was sharp and interrogative. Soon, the restaurant became silent and everyone looked over. The two children from Xiao Zhen and Qu's families shrank into their mother's arms.
The servant looked at her with embarrassment.
Huo Lin winked at her. The servant quickly understood and explained, ”Young Master, it's all because of my bad memory. I forgot about Miss Ye. I thought she left after work so I didn't make any preparations.”
Xiao Yu coldly snorted, ”Oh? Before determining whether the guest would leave, the servant of the Xiao family deliberately chose not to prepare the guest's position. When had the servant of the Xiao family become so arrogant? From now on, you can pack your things and leave. ”
This servant had also been at the Xiao residence for many years, but since she was a trusted aide, the servant immediately knelt down with tears and snot streaming down his face when he knew that she had caused trouble.
”Young master, I know I was wrong, I beg of you …” Don't chase me away. ” The maid wiped away her tears as she looked at Xiao Yu's frightened face.
However, Xiao Yu only had a cold expression on his face. The atmosphere around him was extremely oppressive, and the ice-cold aura around him made it so that no one dared to rashly approach him.
”If you make a mistake once, you definitely won't use it twice. This is my, Xiao Yu's, principle.”
Huo Lin's face turned ugly.
In fact, making the servant not arrange Ye Yan Xi's place was entirely her idea. In the beginning, she didn't want Ye Yan Xi to join the family banquet, and after several interactions, she felt that even though Ye Yan Xi had a delicate appearance, he actually wasn't simple at all. He wished he could let Xiao Yu have less contact with her.
Like this, she openly wanted to make Ye Yan Xi retreat.
No matter what, she was still just an ordinary employee of the Xiao Group. Xiao Yu shouldn't care too much about her affairs.
But now, Xiao Yu was the opposite, venting his anger on the servants.
”Little Yu, Hong Yan didn't do it on purpose.” Hong Yan has worked at the Xiao family for so many years, she was cautious and meticulous, how could she let such a capable assistant leave. ”This is only a small misunderstanding, isn't it just a small one? I'll get someone to add another set of cutlery, and the seats will be ready. ”
Since Xiao Yu had already said this, it wasn't appropriate for him to chase Ye Yanxi away. Thus, he could only allow her to stay.
”However, I, Xiao Yu, will never let a smart person stay by my side. I don't even have the mood to eat, let's not eat!” With a cold tone, Xiao Yu decisively left.
”Little Yu!” Huo Lin was also furious. Unable to hold back her anger, she slammed the table and asked, ”What happened to you today?” It's one thing to bring an outsider back to attend a family banquet, but right now, for an outsider's sake, you're actually venting your anger on a servant. ”
Xiao Yu turned around and stared at Huo Lin expressionlessly, ”Mom insisted on protecting this underling?” At that time, who was the one who repeatedly told me to come back and attend this hypocritical feast? ”
Huo Lin was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She angrily looked at Xiao Yu, but upon seeing Xiao Yu's cold expression, she refused to back down. After staring at him for a few seconds, Huo Lin's raging anger turned into a sigh.
Huo Lin knew very well whether he was her own son or not.
