Chapter 193 - Chapter 193: Confrontation
“Xiao...” Xu Shan saw that Yin Tao was a little frustrated and was about to ask her why when Yin Tao gently covered her mouth.
“Shanshan, be good. Don’t call me by my name. Let’s eat first.” Yin Tao lowered her voice. She wasn’t too far from Zhao Yue and the others. Yin Tao was afraid that Xu Shan would attract their attention.
Lin Jia also figured out Zhao Yue’s intentions. She planned to marry Yin Tao off casually.
Lin Jia was visibly upset. He didn’t expect that not only did the Yin family not support Yin Tao’s work, they also didn’t care about her happiness.
Seeing that Zhao Yue still hadn’t managed to get through to Yin Tao, Madam
Jiang couldn’t help but tease, “How can she not even answer her mother’s call. No matter how busy she is at work, it’s not acceptable.”
Zhao Yue smiled awkwardly and apologized to Madam Jiang, “That’s right. I’ve spoiled Xiaotao. I hope Madam Jiang can help discipline her in the future. ‘ Although Yin Ning was not interested in Jiang Xing, his disregard for her still upsetted her. She deliberately followed up on the topic of conversation to say to Madam Jiang, “My sister does have some shortcomings and deficiencies, but she’s still very obedient. Madam Jiang, just guide her in the future. My sister will definitely change.”
Jiang Xing noticed Yin Nings description of his sister and asked with a smile, “Being obedient can’t be considered a positive quality. I’ve seen many obedient girls. Is there anything else special about your sister?”
“She...” Yin Ning looked at Zhao Yue as if she was stumped.
“Ningning, show Young Master Jiang your sister’s photo.”
Zhao Yue gestured for Yin Ning to show Jiang Xing Yin Tao’s photo. She then promised Madam Jiang, “Madam Jiang, if Xiaotao is lucky enough to marry into the Jiang family, you can arrange everything for her. The Yin family will fully cooperate.”
Yin Ning was rummaging through her phone for Yin Tao’s photo and deliberately found some ugly ones. Just as she was about to hand her phone to Jiang Xing and Madam Jiang, Yin Tao appeared in front of her.
“There really isn’t anything good about me.” Yin Tao snatched Yin Ning’s phone and deleted all the photos she had secretly taken of her. She continued, “Moreover, I’m especially poorly brought up. It’s impossible for me to obediently accept my family’s arrangements.”
Yin Tao glared at Zhao Yue and ignored Jiang Xing and Madam Jiang. She gestured for Lin Jia, who was standing not far away with Xu Shan in her arms, to leave together.
Zhao Yue and Yin Ning didn’t expect Yin Tao to appear in the restaurant at all and were completely stunned. On the other hand, Jiang Xing and Madam Jiang were very curious about the girl who suddenly appeared.
Seeing that Yin Tao was about to leave, Jiang Xing stood up and grabbed her arm. “You’re Xiaotao?”
Lin Jia had wanted to step forward to stop Jiang Xing but he was carrying Xu Shan in his arms. Before he could do anything, Yin Tao had already flung Jiang Xing’s hand away forcefully. Without even turning her head, she said, “Who I am is none of your business!”
‘Yin Tao!” Seeing that Yin Tao’s attitude towards Jiang Xing was very rude, Zhao Yue couldn’t help but feel anxious. They couldn’t afford to offend the Jiang family.
“I’m warning you one last time. You’d better not interfere in my matters! Yin Tao didn’t give Zhao Yue any face at all. Her tone was very cold, as if that wasn’t her family at all.
“Elder sister, how can you talk to Mom like that?” Yin Ning stood between Yin Tao and Zhao Yue, as if she was the only one who was trying to save the situation.
“The same applies to you.” Yin Tao looked at Yin Ning coldly. Although she was the female lead in the novel, she had crossed the line again and again. Yin Tao really couldn’t tolerate her provocation anymore.
Zhao Yue was furious. She had been totally humiliated in front of Madam Jiang. Looking at the haughty Yin Tao, Zhao Yue couldn’t care less about her image anymore, and she stood up angrily and gathered her strength to give Yin Tao a tight slap.
“Madam Yin, this is a restaurant. You should watch yourself.” Lin Jia grabbed
Zhao Yue by her wrist with one hand while holding Xu Shan in his other arm.
“Lin Jia?” Zhao Yue was so furious that she didn’t notice Lin Jia behind Yin Tao. Realizing that she had lost her composure, Zhao Yue hurriedly collected herself and rubbed her wrist that was hurting from Lin Jia’s grip. She smiled awkwardly and muttered, “Why is Special Assistant Lin here too?”
Zhao Yue knew very well that she couldn’t afford to offend the Lin family as much as she couldn’t afford to offend the Jiang family. If they really fell out completely in front of Lin Jia, Yin Dong and Yin Hao’s business would probably be affected in the future. After all, Lin Jia still wielded a certain amount of influence in City A.
“So you are Lin Jia?” Jiang Xing also noticed the man behind Yin Tao and sized him up curiously..
