Chapter 764 - 762: How Can She Manage Without His Protection?
Bo Yimo used a single tortoiseshell gift to silence everyone, and even Tong Yan basked in the glory, being looked at with much more esteem, completely transforming her status from just a moment ago.
There’s no way around it, compared to his birthday gift, theirs seemed so mundane—antiques or money, whatever it was, no matter how much they gave, it couldn’t match his.
Even though there were dozens of people present, not one dared to speak, and those with any semblance of dignity blushed deeply.
Yin Weiyi enjoyed the scene thoroughly, truly making their side proud.
Bo Yimo walked up to Tong Yan, ruffling her hair, "You’re bullied the moment I’m not around; where did all that cleverness of yours go?"
How could she manage without his protection?
Many of the ladies on the scene began to feel restless—this man, handsome, with such immense power, if they could hook him, wouldn’t their lives climb another rung on the ladder?
Yin Weiyi glanced around and knew exactly what they were thinking, letting out a heavy snort, "Some of you better put away those thoughts that you shouldn’t have. Young Master Mo is ours, you all better back off."
Tong Yan and Bo Yimo didn’t even need to flaunt anything; Yin Weiyi’s adept intervention settled it all, constantly showcasing their relationship.
With Yin Weiyi watching like a hawk, and more importantly, Bo Yimo staying by Tong Yan’s side the entire time, serving her food and bringing her dishes, only short of feeding her himself, they couldn’t find any opportunity to approach him and had to ultimately give up.
This banquet lasted a full three hours before it ended, but Grandmaster Yin was too old to endure it, leaving midway with a few cronies.
This birthday banquet introduced Tong Yan to the upper echelons of S City, along with her legend, such as her being rumored as an illegitimate child of the Yin Family, or having a very impressive boyfriend with a high military rank.
There’s no doubt, sometimes the circles of high society are even more gossipy than ordinary townsfolk, because those noble ladies have nothing better to do, gathering every day to drink tea, do beauty treatments, and chat about anything, spreading news quite rapidly.
...
Old Mrs. Su and Old Su, along with a group of relatives hurrying back home, walked very fast, as if chased by a ghost.
Halfway there, they encountered someone.
This person, although not tall, was slender and wore a mask, making it hard to discern their face, but judging from the outfit, it was a woman. "Why did you leave?"
Old Mrs. Su stepped forward, about to unleash a torrent of curses. Now, just thinking of the Su Family’s house brought a psychological shadow; at the mere sound of shouting, whoever it was would feel a sense of fear.
Everything here was this person’s doing.
If not for her approaching them half a year ago with the offer to live in that villa and providing them money for daily expenses, would they have gone? Now, having endured such trauma, they didn’t even dare to recall the situation then.
Just then, two hefty men stepped out from behind her, "What are you trying to do?"
Old Mrs. Su fearfully stepped back two paces, "It’s all because of you, you wicked woman. If it weren’t for you, would we have become like this? Truly a venomous woman, I curse that you’ll have a miserable life, suffering every day, I..."
The woman in the mask coldly sneered in her heart, isn’t her life now already filled with pain? That curse has no effect on her, and all of this was caused by Tong Yan. She would surely make her fall from grace!
