Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 192 Heartbreak



At the small square in the villa, guests from all walks of life gathered, including Shanghai's dignitaries, celebrities, and the Ye family's relatives, friends, and business partners.

This was a reception hosted by Ye Zhenglin to celebrate his thirtieth wedding anniversary with his wife, making the occasion particularly grand. During the reception, Ye Zhenglin's eldest son also added to the joy by announcing that his beloved wife was three months pregnant, which was greeted with applause akin to that for Eric.

Although Tang Dad and Ye Zhenglin had a good relationship, they kept their families apart on this occasion!

After toasting their parents, Ye Simin couldn't control her eyes. She kept looking in the direction of Tang Feiyan, a situation noticed not only by Ye Zhenglin but also by Mrs. Ye, who exchanged a smile with him.

Ye Zhenglin walked to the microphone and addressed the quiet crowd, "Now it's time for the young people's favorite part, the dance party..." After some enthusiastic cheers from the young crowd, Ye Zhenglin joked, "Originally, my wife and I were supposed to lead this dance, but we're getting old and our dancing skills aren't up to par, so we'll spare ourselves the embarrassment..."

The crowd below erupted in noise, expressing that it didn't matter and insisting that Ye Zhenglin and his wife should dance.

Ye Zhenglin smiled, waved his hand, and waited for the venue to quiet down before smiling again, "Although my wife and I won't dance, we'll have our son do it for us! Simin..."

When called, Ye Simin was slightly surprised but responded and walked over.

Ye Zhenglin patted Ye Simin's shoulder and said to everyone, "You all should be familiar with my daughter-in-law, Simin, right? Next, I'll have her dance on my behalf! I hope the girls she invites to dance with her later will give us a face and not refuse! You should know that my daughter-in-law has thin skin. If rejected, she might sneak upstairs and cry in bed all night..."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Ye Zhenglin's words elicited laughter from the crowd, and Ye Simin blushed, feeling embarrassed, "Dad, why would you say that? I'll be too embarrassed to face anyone..."

Ye Zhenglin covered the microphone and whispered, "Simin, stop complaining and seize the opportunity to invite someone to dance!"

Ye Simin was slightly stunned, then looked at her father with gratitude, and then, urged by Ye Zhenglin, she went offstage towards her target.

Ye Simin's actions attracted almost everyone's attention. Everyone was guessing who she would invite to dance! Because if nothing unexpected happened, the girl she invited would become the third daughter-in-law of the Ye family!

Ye Simin was very famous in Shanghai's upper class! He not only didn't have the bad habits of ordinary wealthy children but was also handsome, educated, talented, filial, and polite. He was almost the white horse prince in the hearts of all the girls and the ideal son-in-law in the hearts of all parents!

Everywhere he went, all the girls' eyes would light up, and then dim with disappointment.

Finally, in front of everyone's eyes, he walked to the side of Eric's group.

Seeing Ye Simin return so quickly, Ye Zhenglin, who was socializing with others, hurried over and asked, "Simin, why did you stop dancing?"

Ye Simin shook her head with a dull expression, not saying a word.

Ye Zhenglin frowned slightly and asked again, "Do you like the girl from the Tang family?"

Under the influence of the music, Ye Simin misheard "Tang" as "Tan" again and nodded without hesitation.

"In that case, what are you sitting here for? Go and invite her to dance again..." For his emotionally clumsy and shy son, Ye Zhenglin was starting to get a headache!

"It's no use! She ignored me..." Thinking of the cold and distant look Tan Miss gave him just now, Ye Simin felt a sourness in his eyes and a pain in his heart.

Ye Zhenglin thought he had found the crux of the matter and nodded, first patting his son's shoulder, then striding towards Tang Dad.

"Tang..." Pulling Tang Dad aside, Ye Zhenglin whispered, "Go and ask your daughter. See what she thinks about my son Simin. If your daughter is interested, let's arrange this marriage. If she's not interested, it's better to let my son Simin give up early..."

Tang Dad nodded knowingly and walked towards Tang Feiyan.

At this moment, Tang Feiyan, who had just left the dance floor, was surrounded by a group of noble ladies. Everyone was extremely curious about this woman who had caught Ye Simin's eye. Now that she was alone, they naturally had to interrogate her.

These young ladies, who had long coveted Ye Simin, greeted the future "Mrs. Ye" politely on the surface but couldn't help feeling three parts amazed and seven parts jealous.

Ah! Just because she's a bit prettier, with a hotter figure, and has a dad who's a deputy mayor? What's so great about that...

When these young ladies realized they were no match, they lost interest and dispersed. Only one tall, long-haired beauty named Zheng Yuanyuan remained.

Zheng Yuanyuan wore a smile on her face, warmly took Tang Feiyan's hand, and said with a smile, "Miss Tang, although it's our first meeting, I've known about you for a long time. Your Ling Yan Group has been the talk of Shanghai lately..."

"Um, excuse me, I have something to attend to. If you're interested in cooperating with our Ling Yan Group, let's schedule another time to discuss this at the company. Excuse me..." Tang Feiyan didn't have the patience to chat with these "boring people" anymore, especially since she noticed Wu Mei was hand-feeding Eric's dessert at the table. That used to be her territory!

Seeing Tang Feiyan rudely leaving, Zheng Yuanyuan couldn't help but be speechless. It took her a while to react, and she muttered to herself indignantly, "How could Alie fall for such an arrogant woman? No, I must make Alie make the right choice..."

As Tang Feiyan strode towards the table, ready to reclaim her "territory," she was stopped by Tang Dad.

"Dad, what's up? Just say it, I still have something to do!" Tang Dad didn't beat around the bush either, getting straight to the point, "Feiyan, what do you think of Ye Simin? If you were to get engaged to him..."

"Impossible!" Tang Feiyan categorically refused, seriously, "Indeed, Ye Simin is an outstanding young man, but I simply don't like him at all! Dad, don't arrange any matchmaking for me..."

After firmly stating her position, Tang Feiyan left quickly to defend her "territory"!

If you can't even attract someone as outstanding as Ye Simin, what kind of man are you looking for?

Tang Dad, who had been sighing in the same spot for a while, was about to go back and give Ye Zhenglin a response when he suddenly saw his daughter in the corner fighting with Wu Mei to feed "His Holiness." He couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart...
