The gigolo kept by the matriarch turned out to be the heir to a wealthy family.

Chapter 225 Calculation

As it turns out, Jin Huai's concerns were not unfounded.

As soon as Yun Yao arrived, she was surrounded by a group of women, each speaking in a sarcastic and unfriendly tone.

“Miss Yun, we’ve finally met, why put on airs? We don’t have a Chairman Yun here,” one of the women said.

Yun Yao smiled, not taking it to heart.

Why are all these people, who used to avoid me like the plague, now fawning over me? It's obvious whose orders they're taking. Gu Huixin, I'd like to see what you're really up to.

"You're all joking. Just say what you want to say." Yun Yao said with her hands in her pockets, her posture haughty.

A few of them, with a hint of disdain on their faces, stepped forward, striking poses.

“Miss Yun, our capital city has produced many strong women, but you are truly the first to be as assertive as you. I wonder if you have any experience to share? We also want to live without restraint for once.”

As soon as the woman finished speaking, a heavily made-up woman next to her covered her mouth and chuckled, then gently patted her.

"What experience is there? We all know it! A woman's life revolves around her face. If I had Miss Yun's looks and figure, I could stand at the top of the business pyramid, not just in the capital, but throughout the entire country."

Hearing her words, Yun Yao's lips curled up slightly.

Isn't this blatantly admitting that she got to where she is because of her body and looks?

They were nothing more than mad dogs unleashed by Gu Huixin. Yun Yao was certain that once these people truly angered her, they would be the first to be abandoned by Gu Huixin.

Tsk, I don't know why they trust Gu Huixin, that vicious woman, so much.

As soon as Ge Xiaoxiao entered the hall, she spotted Yun Yao in the crowd.

"Brother, I'm going to find the goddess." With that, she pulled her hand out of Ge Beiyao's arm and hurried towards Yun Yao, who was surrounded in the middle.

"Goddess?" Ge Xiaoxiao pushed through the crowd and familiarly hooked her arm around Yun Yao's.

They initially thought it was some clueless person who dared to push them aside, but upon closer inspection, they realized it was the apple of the Ge family's eye. Instantly, all their anger dissipated, and they looked embarrassed.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Ge? We never see you at any banquets usually, what brings you here today?"

Ge Xiaoxiao almost rolled her eyes and glared at them.

"I don't bother coming to banquets that are usually smoky and chaotic. I'm only here today because my goddess is here."

After saying that, Ge Xiaoxiao didn't look at them, and took Yun Yao's hand to leave.

"Goddess, my grandfather is here today too. He's been wanting to thank you in person for a long time, and today he finally has the chance."

Following Ge Xiaoxiao's gaze, Yun Yao indeed saw a sprightly old man standing next to Ge Beiyao.

"Let's go," Yun Yao said softly.

As Grandpa Ge watched Yun Yao walk towards him, a hint of excitement inevitably appeared in his weathered eyes.

"Bei Yao, hurry!" The old man, supported by Ge Bei Yao, shakily moved forward.

As Yun Yao stood in front of him, the old man was about to bow when his arm was supported by a pair of small hands.

“Grandpa, there’s no need for that.” Yun Yao spoke with natural grace and poise.

"Miss Yun, thank you, thank you so much!" Old Master Ge's face was full of gratitude.

Their commotion attracted the attention of many people, who all looked at them with different thoughts.

Gu Huixin also noticed the unusual relationship between Yun Yao and the Ge family, and her hands on her knees tightened involuntarily.

What kind of bewitching potion did this little vixen give to the usually aloof Ge family that made even Old Master Ge treat her with such respect?

As Gu Huixin was lost in thought, a man dressed as a waiter ran up to her and whispered something in her ear furtively.

Gu Huixin's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned up.

"That's the arrangement. Be quick-witted later."

After she finished speaking, she gave Xue Haoqian and the others a wink, her determination to succeed was very clear.

Xue Haoqian and the others understood, straightened their clothes, and their expressions became serious.

Yun Yao was chatting and laughing with Grandpa Ge, having long forgotten about those unimportant people.

While they were chatting, Yun Yao suddenly felt something approaching from behind, but she didn't react and pretended not to know. She simply took a step forward without making a sound.

The next second, a glass of red wine was spilled on her back.

As a little boy fell and cried, many people in the audience gasped.

Yun Yao felt the wet clothes sticking to her body. Although it was uncomfortable, she knew she couldn't risk her life to catch a wolf.

As she turned around, she saw a little boy, as delicate as a porcelain doll, looking at her timidly, with tears welling up in his eyes.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Yun Yao's eyes as she bent down and helped the little boy up.

"Did you hurt yourself?"

The little boy shook his head and pulled his hand away.

Yun Yao was wearing a white women's suit today, and even a small stain would be very noticeable, let alone such a large stain.

Old Master Ge's eyes flashed with displeasure as he sternly shouted, "Whose child is this, so reckless!"

The little boy was startled and burst into tears.

"I didn't do it on purpose! You're bullying me! You're bullying me!"

The people around were also enjoying the spectacle, and they were all indignant to see these adults scolding a child like that.

"Grandpa Ge, who among us didn't grow up from childhood? Children are naturally a bit mischievous, and judging from his appearance, he didn't do it on purpose. Why be so petty? I remember you are known for your kindness and compassion. Why are you so..." They didn't know what to say next. They wanted this feeling of not offending the Ge family but still being incredibly annoying.

Grandpa Ge had no intention of arguing with them any longer, and looked at Ge Beiyao beside him.

"Bei Yao!"

Ge Beiyao understood and quickly took off his coat.

He was fast, but someone was faster.

Jin Huai, sensing something was wrong, rushed to the scene immediately. Seeing Yun Yao being splashed with wine, his face darkened.

"Young Master Ge, let me do it."

Jin Huai stopped Ge Beiyao and took off his suit jacket.

Ge Beiyao paused slightly, looking at the man in front of him with a knowing look in his eyes.

If he wasn't mistaken, this must be Yun Yao's recently much-discussed "rumored boyfriend." With him around, he did indeed feel a bit superfluous.

Ge Beiyao draped his coat over his arm and gestured for him to proceed.

The drama of two handsome men vying for one woman is always captivating, and many women present couldn't help but feel envious.

What merits does Yun Yao possess? How could she make so many outstanding men fall for her?

In an instant, many people's envy turned into jealousy and resentment.

Yun Yao had her back to the door, while Ge Beiyao and Jin Huai stood side by side with her. None of them noticed what was happening behind them.

Little did they know, at the doorway, someone's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water.

The two men standing next to him exchanged a glance and tactfully took a step back, afraid of being caught in the crossfire...
