Chapter 374: Xia Jiang Was Furious
The people around them were all watching the show. No one was willing to speak up for Su Yan at this time. They also wanted to see just how capable this woman, who even Xia Jiang recognized, was. If she couldn’t even deal with Zhou Man, she wasn’t that impressive. Moreover, it would be a waste not to watch the two women fighting.
Looking at the aggressive Zhou Man, Su Yan raised her eyebrows. She was only here to celebrate Xia Jiang’s birthday. She didn’t have any intention of causing trouble, nor did she have any intention of treating herself as the main character. However, this didn’t mean that she had no bottom line. Moreover, she had never been a magnanimous person.
“Zhou Man, there’s something you said wrong. It’s not that Su Yan is pestering me, but that I’ve been pestering Su Yan.” Just as Su Yan was about to say something, Wei Zhou’s voice rang out from the crowd.
When the guests heard Wei Zhou’s words, they were all stunned. Excellent Era Corporation’s aloof CEO, that emotionless and heartless Wei Zhou, actually spoke up for his ex-wife? It was too shocking! No! It was unbelievable!
Wei Zhou said coldly, “Is this how the Mighty Xia family treats guests?”!!
Seeing Wei Zhou walking over, Su Yan raised her eyebrows. She felt that Wei Zhou’s words were making a mountain out of a molehill. It was Zhou Man who was making things difficult for her. It wasn’t that the Xia family didn’t know how to treat guests.
Su Yan didn’t want to get into a fight with others at Xia Jiang’s birthday party. After all, he only celebrated his 66th birthday once in his life. If they really got into a fight, it would be too disrespectful to Xia Jiang. Furthermore, after they left the banquet hall, she had a hundred ways to deal with Zhou Man until she was completely subdued.
After glancing at Wei Zhou, Zhou Man looked at Su Yan and sneered. “You’re really amazing. It’s been more than a year since your divorce, yet your ex-husband is still so protective of you. It seems that your methods of seducing a rich man are really extraordinary!”
At this moment, someone had already told Xia Jiang about the dispute between Su Yan and Zhou Man. When they heard that Su Yan was being bullied, the expressions of the father and son of the Xia family instantly turned cold, especially Xia Jiang. Xia Jiang’s old eyes narrowed into slits. He had never expected that there would be someone who dared to come out and cause trouble at his birthday banquet. Moreover, it was Su Yan who was being scolded. Could it be that Zhou Man didn’t see Su Yan walking out with her arm around his?
Xia Zijian had already cursed in his heart along the way. Just now, he had been paying attention to the situation here. After hearing from his friends how Zhou Man had scolded Su Yan earlier, if it weren’t for the fact that it was really unsuitable to do so on Xia Jiang’s birthday, he would have thrown a bottle of wine at Zhou Man’s head a long time ago.
Xia Jiang walked over and said with a gloomy expression, “Zhou Man, Miss Su is my most distinguished guest. You insulted my guest at my birthday banquet. Do you have a problem with my birthday celebration? Or do you not take me seriously?”
Xia Jiang was imposing without being angry and his voice wasn’t loud. However, he was a senior in the business world after all. The prestige that he had accumulated over the years wasn’t something that anyone could compare to. Once he said those words, not to mention the Zhou people, even those who were watching from the side trembled.
After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Man to quibble, Xia Jiang directly shouted, “Men, get Zhou Man and the Zhou family out of the banquet hall. Since the Zhou family is not satisfied with my guest, then there’s no need for me to be polite to them.”
The Zhou family’s expressions changed when they heard Xia Jiang’s words. They wanted to say something to persuade Xia Jiang, but Xia Jiang’s expression was so ugly that they didn’t dare to say anything else. They dragged Zhou Man away with them.
After Zhou Man left, Xia Jiang looked around. Finally, he said in a solemn voice, “As the ancient saying goes, rumors stop with wise people. I believe that those who are able to attend this banquet are all smart people. There are many things that you shouldn’t let others swindle you on unless you have seen it with your own eyes. As the saying goes, seeing is believing. However, the Su Yan that I know is different from everyone’s impression of Su Yan. Before she graduated from university, I had already gotten to know her. In my heart, she is a very outstanding girl. She deserves the respect of others.”
Speaking up to this point, Xia Jiang once again swept his gaze across the guests. Then, with a face full of sincerity, he said, “Everyone admires me, Xia Jiang. I have money and an outstanding career, but I have always had a regret in my heart. I have always wanted to have a daughter, but unfortunately, I didn’t have the fortune. I only have a disappointing son, Zijian. Everyone has seen it. Today, I specially brought Su Yan along with me. You all know what I mean. If Su Yan can marry my son, as his father, I will naturally be extremely happy. However, Su Yan has no such intentions, so this matter can’t be forced.”
