Chapter 199: [199] I was almost tricked by you, kid_1
 

“If I’m not mistaken, there’s something going on between you and Mr. Xi, isn’t there?”

The first thing Tang Feng said was to directly pierce into the relationship between Xi Yongchang and Lu Yuzhu.

“Pfft…”

Zhou Bingrui, who was drinking on the side, sprayed out his drink.

Mr. Tang was indeed forthright; couldn’t he have approached the subject in a roundabout way?

What does it mean “there’s something going on”? That sounds too unpleasant, doesn’t it?

As expected, Xi Yongchang and Lu Yuzhu’s faces turned extremely ugly.

Although the older men present all knew the role that “secretaries” often played.

Especially a delicate-looking female secretary.

If someone were to claim that there was nothing untoward between the two, that would truly be unbelievable.

However, such matters were not appropriate for public discourse, and Xi Yongchang, having a family himself, felt quite humiliated to have such an improper relationship exposed in public.

“Kid, what are you babbling about? If you spout more nonsense, do you believe I will hit you?” Xi Yongchang stood up swiftly, pointing at Tang Feng with an enraged demeanor as if ready to fight.

Zhou Kai barely held back his laughter, hurriedly getting up to intercept him, “Mr. Xi, just treat it as a joke, don’t get angry, okay?”

The others also got up to mediate, but their faces bore subtle smiles; evidently, they all believed what Tang Feng had said.

With so many people persuading him, Xi Yongchang had no choice but to sit back down huffily, but his eyes were fixed on Tang Feng, the threat in them unmistakable.

Tang Feng, however, remained unaffected, still smiling as he looked at Xi Yongchang, “Of course, when I said Miss Lu had a stable relationship, I was not referring to Mr. Xi.”

“What you two have can’t be called a relationship, it’s only…”

He stopped short.

But even a fool knew what he was going to say; if it couldn’t be called a relationship, it could only be called an affair.

Xi Yongchang’s face changed abruptly, “What do you mean by that?”

And Lu Yuzhu’s complexion turned deathly pale, no longer flaunting that provocative charm, as she glared angrily at Tang Feng, “If you dare spout more nonsense, you’re dead.”

Tang Feng could only zip his lips obediently, “Then I’d better not say it; my life is already in danger.”

“Speak up, you must make it clear,” Xi Yongchang insisted, evidently his curiosity piqued by Tang Feng’s words.

“Mr. Xi, don’t listen to this kid’s wild ramblings, let’s just drink,” Lu Yuzhu hurriedly picked up her glass to toast Mr. Xi, but it was clear to anyone with eyes that she was flustered.

“Smack!”

Xi Yongchang knocked away her glass, staring intently at Tang Feng, “Please finish what you’re saying, what did you mean by your words just now?”

Tang Feng looked awkwardly toward Zhou Bingrui, “One tells me to speak, the other tells me not to; what am I to do?”

“Of course you should tell the truth.”

Zhou Bingrui was the type who reveled in chaos, always hoping for a bigger mess—asking his opinion meant things were sure to get messier.

“Since that’s the case, then I will continue,” Tang Feng turned his head again towards Xi Yongchang and Lu Yuzhu, “If I’m not mistaken, besides Mr. Xi, Miss Lu has also been keeping a male model on the side, which must have cost a pretty penny, right?”

“You’re talking nonsense!”

Lu Yuzhu suddenly became fierce, completely losing the flirty demeanor she had earlier.

His eyes were bloodshot with anger, and his face fumed with rage.

The older men around the table all looked at Xi Yongchang with odd expressions on their faces.

Has he been cuckolded?

And there, at the very end of the table, Mao Anyi felt both shocked and amused.

He was astonished that Tang Feng, by his own power, had thrown the entire dinner into chaos.

The amusing part was that the woman had purposely picked a quarrel, and now she had finally brought trouble upon herself.

This guy, truly loved to stir up trouble.

Xi Yongchang’s face turned extremely ugly; if you looked closely, you would see his body trembling slightly, clearly trying to suppress his rage.

“Is what he said true?” he turned his head and looked at Lu Yuzhu, his piercing gaze seeming to penetrate straight into one’s heart.

“Mr. Xi, you mustn’t listen to this little bastard’s nonsense. I am utterly loyal to you, how could I betray you? Besides, he said I kept a man on the side, but I’ve only graduated recently, where would I get so much money?” Lu Yuzhu knew her life hung by a thread, she hurriedly defended herself.

Xi Yongchang was indeed swayed by her words.

This Lu Yuzhu had graduated from school just over a year ago, and before, she was just a junior staff member, promoted to secretary just a few months ago.

With only a few thousand yuan a month in salary, she struggled even to support herself; how could she afford to keep a man?

“I was almost fooled by you kid, who exactly sent you here to sow discord? Speak!”

Xi Yongchang coldly glared at Tang Feng and slammed the table with a “bang,” startling everyone present.

“Why are you getting angry at me? All this I figured out on my own, and you insisted that I tell you—believe it or not, it’s up to you,” Tang Feng retorted with a pout, feeling wronged.

“Heh, you say she keeps a man on the side? She makes a few thousand yuan a month, where would she get that much money?” Xi Yongchang banged the table again, making a resounding “bang,” showing he was truly angry.

Tang Feng smiled and shook his head, “I said when I was calculating Ms. Lu’s fortune earlier that she’s been very lucky with money recently; of course, it meant she had gotten some unexpected wealth…”

“Shut up!”

Lu Yuzhu’s face was filled with murderous intent. She grabbed the wine bottle in front of her and hurled it at Tang Feng.

“Ah…”

This sudden outburst shocked everyone present.

No one had expected this delicate secretary, Lu Yuzhu, to suddenly become violent, and it was too late to stop her.

Fortunately, Tang Feng had quick reflexes. Even though he was looking down to drink, his other hand steadied the bottle and then calmly filled his cup and set it back on the table.

This cool and suave move astonished everyone.

“What a move!”

Others were mindful of Xi Yongchang’s dignity and didn’t dare to applaud openly.

But Zhou Kai couldn’t hold back his admiration and blurted out, “Nice reflexes!”

Then he turned his head to look at Lu Yuzhu, his face darkening, “Mrs. Lu, I’m the host of today’s dinner. You’re causing trouble at my table; are you disregarding me, Zhou Kai?”

His voice was soft and without a hint of emotional fluctuation, but it carried an invisible pressure that made one’s heart pound with fear.

Lu Yuzhu turned deathly pale, and she stood frozen on the spot.
