Chapter 261: Thank You Uncle Fu for Having My Back

The storm that had yet to begin had already ended in quiet disappointment, and the surroundings once again buzzed with activity.

The gossiping women wanted to get close to Ye Li, Mrs. Fu, to form a bond, but with Uncle Fu by her side, offering a slice of cake one moment and feeding her fruit the next, he showed no intention of leaving.

The men were eagerly waiting to discuss with Uncle Fu the unfinished business of finance and economy, but seeing him leisurely attending to his wife's eating, they grew even more anxious.

Undercurrents flowed in the banquet hall.

Turning her head to dodge the piece of tender green melon on Fu Yanci's fork, Ye Li whispered softly, "Fu Yanci, you better go over there. If you don't, I'm going to become the public enemy!"

"Not going…"

The man lazily ate the piece of melon that Ye Li had disdained and brought her to the sofa in the corner, with his arm around her waist, "I wasn't here for Fu Minghui's sake, anyway."

Ye Li was taken aback.
