Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Wanting to Devour Her Whole

His handsome face was devoid of any expression, exuding an unparalleled chill. His voice was as cold as ice.

"The Huo Family is an illustrious house of a century-old reputation; we cannot allow you to taint it with your shamelessness. If you do not wish to suffer a grim fate, get out of the Xiao Family this instant."

An Ge wanted to defend herself, but whatever she said felt powerless and futile. She was now the goddaughter of Mrs. Huo, carrying an illegitimate child. Being at such an event in the capacity of a companion to the young master of the Xiao Family brought immense shame to the Huo Family.

An Ge had nothing to say. She looked down at her toes, her voice gentle and calm, "Understood."

As she finished speaking and turned to leave, Huo Shaoyan called out to her from behind.

"Stop."

An Ge paused and turned to look at him.

At this moment, the man had already reached her side. He looked down at her, his gaze harshly fixed on her. His cold fingers pinched her chin, forcing her to look only at him.

He spoke harshly, "Previously, An Baoying repeatedly told me that you were nothing but a shameless seducer who had men under your skirt. Back then, I didn’t quite believe her. Tonight, I believe her."

He paused, then continued with a suggestive tone, "Come, tell me, is Xiao Ye the first man you’ve hooked up with after being released from prison? Have you slept with him?"

The words were exceptionally nasty, so much so that An Ge almost raised her hand to slap him across the face as soon as he finished speaking. Naturally, she did not succeed with the slap. The man quickly intercepted her delicate wrist, mocking her with a laugh, "Consider yourself lucky; I have been reciting scriptures and meditating lately."

The implication was that he would have unleashed his wrath otherwise.

With these words, Huo Shaoyan turned and walked away without looking back. Before leaving, Qin Lang gave An Ge a look that suggested she should take care, and then he also left.

An Ge did not leave immediately. She squatted down slowly, holding her discomforting heart with both hands.

After the sharp, persistent heartache subsided, she stood up again. She took a piece of fruit candy from her handbag and put it in her mouth. The sweetness seemed to dilute the bitterness in her heart. She glanced up in the direction of the moon and quietly told herself: An Ge, you must live well. Only by living will you have hope.

At that moment, her phone started vibrating frantically in her bag. It was Xiao Ye calling. An Ge hesitated for a moment before answering his call.

"Where the hell are you? Get to the banquet hall immediately. If you’re not there in five minutes, I’ll report you to An Baoying!"

Xiao Ye said just this before hanging up the call. When An Ge tried calling back, she couldn’t get through again.

If Xiao Ye reported her to An Baoying, saying that she was secretly investigating her, An Baoying’s desire for revenge would certainly bring fatal consequences. Thinking of this, An Ge had no choice but to brace herself and head to the banquet hall.

In the brilliantly lit banquet hall, nearly half of Jingcheng’s merchants and elites were present with their families. The air was filled with the scent of exquisite perfumes and laughter, bustling with lively activity. However, the entire hullabaloo of the banquet hall momentarily quieted down for a few seconds when An Ge appeared.

Just because of her stunningly beautiful face and the striking figure wrapped in a bright red evening gown, which were enough to tantalize men and incite jealousy among women. After the brief silence, people began whispering among themselves.

"Tsk, which family’s socialite is this? Why does her face seem so unfamiliar?"

"Indeed, such a rare beauty doesn’t look like someone from our circle."

"Heh, if you ask me, she might just be a kept woman of some wealthy man."

"Really? I wonder how pricey she is... but given such features, spending a fortune for one night would be worth it."

A group of young heirs gathered and started making crude jokes, which displeased their female companions standing nearby. One of the women, who was quite close to An Baoying, sneered at this point,

"I tell you all, don’t be fooled by the facade of this enchantress. You’re just salivating over her without even knowing her background. Spare yourselves the disgust."

The speaker was Wu Manman, the only daughter of Boss Wu, Wu Zhigang. Her words stirred a significant reaction among the men.

"Wu Manman, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you are just jealous because she’s prettier than you, and you’re trying to ruin her reputation maliciously?"

Because her father, Wu Zhigang, had taken an interest in An Ge but hadn’t succeeded, and because he ended up with one eye injured and three ribs broken from a kick by Huo Shaoyan, Wu Manman harbored a deep hatred for An Ge. Moreover, with An Baoying’s instigation, Wu Manman would have loved nothing more than to see An Ge stripped of her dignity.

Therefore, she raised her voice almost immediately after the young man’s words died down,

"She’s nothing but an indecent woman who got pregnant before marriage. Recently, she went as far as to seduce my father for money. An Baoying can testify to this."

Her words shifted all eyes onto An Baoying.

"Superstar An, is what Wu Manman says true?"

As An Ge weaved through the crowd, she also looked at An Baoying because of this statement, and everyone was watching her. Those gazes were mostly malicious; the men wanted to devour her, while the women hoped to see her humiliated in public.

For a moment, it felt as if she had been stripped bare, reduced to a laughingstock.
