How come I heard that it was your mother who started it first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Ruan Qiuting was left speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half a second, she forcibly explained, “That’s because she came here causing a scene, my mother only acted in order to protect me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then she also fought back to protect herself. In the end, if you hadn’t started it, how would she have fought back?” Mrs. Xiao retorted, looking at Ruan Qiuting with a somewhat cold demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having reached this point, how could Ruan Qiuting not realize that the President’s wife was determined to protect Huo Yishan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why? Why would you show such favoritism to protect someone you’ve only met once?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Ruan Qiuting’s questioning, Mrs. Xiao wasn’t angry but rather held a faint smile, a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “By defending her, I am also safeguarding your Ruan Family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Qiuting was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Zhicheng and Zhang Meifeng were even more puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean?” Ruan Qiuting frowned, not understanding the meaning behind her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did she mean by saying that protecting Huo Yishan also meant safeguarding their Ruan Family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at her, Mrs. Xiao was silent for about three seconds, then said, “Because she is absolutely someone you cannot afford to offend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the three members of the Ruan Family, including the Li Family members, were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding guests were even more baffled, caught in a fog of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Mrs. Xiao, and then at Huo Yishan, Ruan Qiuting found it hard to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s just someone in the entertainment industry; how could she be someone they cannot afford to offend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam, actually Yishan came with me today, sorry for not informing you beforehand. Now, just let her quietly stay with me, what do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Xiao looked at the old Mrs. Li, smiling with elegance and grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old Mrs. Li glanced at Huo Yishan. The face of the President’s wife, she could not disregard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s stop this matter here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such commotion, the auspicious time had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the President’s wife personally intervening, the Ruan Family had no choice but to let the matter drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, let’s go to the lounge first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at Huo Yishan, Ruan Qiuting supported her mother to the lounge to reorganize themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yishan, come with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Huo Yishan, Mrs. Xiao spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the two also headed towards the special guest lounge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Last time, Li Yuan brought you to see me, saying you were his fiancée.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the sofa, Mrs. Xiao looked at Huo Yishan and smiled as she recounted the previous meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yishan, however, kept her head down, feeling not too good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life is so ridiculous; the last time they met, she was the fiancée. This time, it’s at Li Yuan’s engagement ceremony with another woman. Ironic, isn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard that up until now, Li Yuan hasn’t shown up. Do you know where he is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Xiao’s words made Huo Yishan lift her head, staring at her in surprise, “He’s not here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He came earlier, but if it weren’t for the scene you caused, the engagement should have started by now, yet Li Yuan seems to have not appeared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Huo Yishan also found it a bit odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan hasn’t appeared; is he really not here, or just not attending for now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, didn’t he tell you where he is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Xiao glanced at her, pondering that she didn’t know what kind of chaos Li Yuan might cause again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, when I called him, he just said he’d call me back, then hung up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where exactly Li Yuan had gone had become a mystery at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>",641,"2026-06-06T09:48:58.678Z",1,"novelbin.me","c66223f059a2f88993ba15cae5ef477443e5e400e0e6c925e32af610dc843c7f","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-1121","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-1119",1565,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-cover.jpg"]
