Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Who’s True, Who’s Fake (Seeking Collections, Volatile Update Chapter 1)

"But she’s already being rude to people now, people are so mad at her that their chest hurts, can you stand up for me?" The woman pouted playfully while blowing on the man’s chest.

"Disgusting, an eyesore." Mi Xue rolled her eyes hard at the scene in front of her and said.

"Honey, look at her." The woman’s voice dripped with coquetry, twisting and turning like a mountain road, making the man’s bones turn to jelly, leaving him with no choice but to comply.

"Honey will stand up for you right away, honey will stand up for you." The man reassured her, grabbing the woman’s hand and kissing it a few times, his tone arrogant and commanding as he said, "You two better apologize to my sweetie immediately, or don’t blame me for not being polite."

Lin Mengyao and Mi Xue frowned and said nothing, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. "My uncle is the vice president of Huaxia Bank, if you offend me, our Huaxia Bank will unite with other banks to refuse providing any financial convenience and help to the Lin family. I’ll count to three, apologize to my sweetie right away." The man suddenly slapped the table and spoke menacingly, while the woman in his arms gave Lin Mengyao a provocative smile.

"Just a vice president, if you don’t apologize to Mengyao and Mi Xue for your behavior just now, I’ll have your uncle dismissed." Xu Ke leaned back against the chair, tapping his finger leisurely, looking at the man with full contempt.

"Who are you?" The man frowned and asked.

"Xu Ke, Mengyao’s husband."

"Wait, did you say who you are? Her husband? Hahaha, you are killing me, aren’t you the famous live-in son-in-law and loser of Los City? I don’t even take Lin family seriously, how are you, a live-in son-in-law, going to threaten me? Are you missing a piece of your mind?" The man laughed so hard tears came out, even letting go of the woman in his arms, while she bent over the table, pounding it and laughing loudly, like a madwoman.

"Oh dear, my stomach hurts from laughing, this is the funniest joke I’ve heard all year, you’re killing me! For being so amusing, I don’t mind your rudeness just now. This class reunion was really worth it, it’s so interesting. Next time there’s such a reunion, sweetie, remember to invite me." The man said, pinching the woman’s nose and laughing without any regard for others.

"Sure, I’ll definitely call you next time." The woman giggled in response, no longer insisting that Lin Mengyao and Mi Xue apologize, afraid that bringing it up again would drive them away and make the reunion lose its fun. She wanted to have a good time with them.

"You’re just letting him off like that?" Mi Xue, unaware of Xu Ke’s capabilities, could only swallow her pride, but Lin Mengyao knew. Xu Ke was serious about his threat earlier, he really could get the other guy dismissed, so she didn’t understand why he held back.

Seeing Lin Mengyao’s puffed-up face, Xu Ke reached out, grabbed her hand under the table and said, "The best part is yet to come, it’s no fun if you end it all at once." Xu Ke whispered in Lin Mengyao’s ear.

The sound, deep as a cello’s timbre, rang in her ear, causing Lin Mengyao’s face to flush bright red. She barely comprehended what Xu Ke was saying, her ability to think somewhat diminished, she didn’t pursue the matter further.

The atmosphere around the dining table rekindled, as if the previous confrontation never happened. Yet this gathering felt a bit different; everyone started to ingratiate themselves with the man next to Wen Mei’er, whom Mi Xue referred to disparagingly. Wen Mei’er welcomed the attention, enjoying the feeling of being fawned over and adored by the crowd.

"Hmph, the small-minded get their way. She won’t be smug for long. Mengyao, don’t stoop to her level and don’t take it to heart." Mi Xue patted Lin Mengyao’s back and said.

"Don’t worry, she doesn’t affect me." Mi Xue’s concern warmed Lin Mengyao’s heart a bit, but it made Xu Ke frown slightly and glare at Mi Xue.

How many opportunities has he missed to earn Mengyao’s favor, and now she’s taking the lead, Xu Ke felt a bit annoyed with himself for being slow to act.

Just as Xu Ke and Mi Xue were vying to comfort Lin Mengyao, Wen Mei’er, now basking in the adulations, shifted her curled hair aside and leaned softly against the man, "My husband’s not only successful in his career, but he also has such a kind heart. Do you remember the guy who caught the gang pretending to have accidents on the street recently? That was my husband."

The two individuals competing for Lin Mengyao’s attention closed their mouths upon hearing this, eyes filled with incredulity and, once they processed it, amusement.

Listening to others constantly praising Wen Mei’er and her husband, Mi Xue was the first of the three to burst out laughing. At first, she tried to hold it back, but eventually she couldn’t resist, laughing more and more recklessly.

Mi Xue clutched her belly, laughing arrogantly. Lin Mengyao, catching the contagion, laughed softly but audibly. Only Xu Ke among them laughed reservedly without making a sound, yet the sarcasm in his eyes shot directly at the couple at the center of the topic.

"What are you laughing about? Laughing like this when someone else is speaking is very ill-mannered behavior. Didn’t your parents teach you?" Wen Mei’er looked at the three people sitting opposite, furious enough to almost crush her white teeth.

These two have always been at odds with her since school, and even after graduation they remained just as detestable, making her wish she could just strangle them.

"You didn’t even save face, making up such lies, and you dare to lecture others? This is the biggest joke under the sun." Mi Xue made a face at Wen Mei’er and said.

"What do you mean? When did I lie? If you don’t give me a clear explanation today, don’t bother trying to leave the doors of the Imperial Kitchen today." Wen Mei’er slammed the table and stood up from her chair, clearly agitated by Mi Xue.

Wen Mei’er was furious, but Mi Xue didn’t even glance at her, instead turning to give Lin Mengyao a look, signaling for her to speak.

Mi Xue’s waggling eyebrows and gestures took Lin Mengyao back to their high school days, oddly sparking a childish urge within her, "What it means is that the person rescued was Mi Xue, and it was Xu Ke who saved her, it has nothing to do with your husband, you’re lying."

Seeing both participants in the event present, a fleeting panic flickered in Wen Mei’er’s eyes because her husband was indeed pretending, but the panic lasted only a moment. She suddenly remembered that neither of the protagonists in the online video showed their face. With no facial evidence, how could one prove her husband was fake and not the two in attendance lying for similar reasons?

Having clarified her thoughts, Wen Mei’er calmed down, even showing a mocking expression on her face, not at all like someone who’s been caught lying.

"The video online didn’t show faces. Why do you claim I’m lying and you’re telling the truth? Is it because there are more of you, or your faces are bigger than mine?" Wen Mei’er crossed her arms and snorted coldly.
