The security manager grimaced, but he had no choice but to stand beside Liang Han. Fortunately, Liang Han was in charge, so he wasn’t afraid that these women would act like hooligans again. “Please show me your invitation cards,” the security manager said in a business-like manner.

Of course, Xi Yue wouldn’t play along. “If you insist on doing things this way, then I’ll call for Fang Xi! Let her come out and explain why her mother can’t sit with her at the bride’s family table?”

“Because someone else is there in her mother’s stead!” A deep voice sounded out behind Liang Han. Liang Han quickly turned around, feeling extremely relieved. “Mr. Mo!”

Mr. Mo smiled at Liang Han and said, “Go help the newlyweds attend to the guests. I’ll take care of this.”

“Aye aye, sir!” Liang Han hurriedly nodded and turned to leave, not sparing a single glance at those women who could give succubi a run for their money. Xi Yue had an intrigued smile on her face as her gaze followed after him.

Mr. Mo turned to instruct Liang Han, “Tell Fang Xi to entertain the guests in peace. I have things handled here. There’s no need for her to come over.” He turned back, met Xi Yue’s gaze, and warned lightly, “He’s just a child.”

Xi Yue took her eyes off Liang Han and said affectionately, “Mo, it’s been a long time! I knew you would be here! Hmph! That daughter of mine doesn’t take us seriously at all since she has you backing her up!”

Mr. Mo raised his hand and pointed at the side hall to the side, as he replied, “It’s been a while. Let’s go over there and catch up!”

Xi Yue’s eyes flashed. She grabbed Mr. Mo’s raised hand and harrumphed, “I’m the bride’s mother. I didn’t even agree to that Mr. Mcdreamy just now when he asked me to sit at the table at the back. And you want to send me to the side hall as soon as you come?! I’m telling you, no way!”

“Mo! We’ve been friends for decades! How can you treat me like this? I don’t care if you dote on that girl, but you can’t treat an old friend like me like this, right?”

Mr. Mo’s expression remained unchanged as he stated, “It’s only because we’re old friends that I’m inviting you to the side hall to catch up. Otherwise, I would’ve asked someone to escort you out! Today is Fang Xi’s big day. I’ll send whoever tries to ruin it to hell! She’s a good girl. I watched her grow up; you should know how much I love her, right?”

A trace of unease flashed across Xi Yue’s face, but she was still unwilling to give up. “Then, I have to at least meet my in-laws. Won’t you introduce me to them?”

Mr. Mo had already taken a couple of steps toward the side hall as he answered, “Xi Yue, we’re both old foxes here, so quit your act. If you have something to say, come to the side hall and we’ll talk it out. I suggest you take my suggestion while my word still holds some weight with Fang Xi. If you really make a scene and get Fang Xi involved, what can you do when she makes things difficult for you? Your goal here isn’t to get to know your in-laws, right? Then stop doing these roundabout things.”

Mr. Mo walked on ahead while Xi Yue stood on her tiptoes to peek into the lively great hall where the wedding banquet was taking place. She spotted the two pairs of newlyweds, already out and toasting their guests. However, she had to think twice about Mr. Mo’s words. Xi Yue gritted her teeth and stomped her feet in frustration before turning around and following after Mr. Mo. “Fine! I’ll go with you, but only because it’s you asking! Not because I’m afraid of that girl! You have to get that girl to kowtow to me and serve me tea later! It’s only right as I’m her mother! Hmph!”

Although the group of people who came with Xi Yue were very interested in the lively event in the great hall, a crew of security guards had expressionlessly built a human wall. They couldn’t get through, so they could only follow Xi Yue reluctantly. The security manager and his team secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

They weren’t the only ones. Liang Han and Lu Hui both reached out to wipe the non-existent sweat off their brows at the same time.

“No wonder Fang Xi is such a sheer force of character; she must’ve inherited it from her mother!” Liang Han commented.

Lu Hui was offended. “Don’t slander Fang Xi! Our Fang Xi’s not that kind of person! They may look alike, but Fang Xi doesn’t have any of that woman’s man-eater aura!”

Liang Han was amused. “Lu Hui, you sure have a way with words! I didn’t hear a single swear word in your bashing there. Little lady, I’d advise you to watch your tongue and don’t be so catty.”

Lu Hui rolled her eyes at him. “Why are you so quick to retort? I wasn’t bashing you! Oh, I forgot. Men like those sorts of women, don’t they? It’s why they’re called ‘man-eaters.’ Guys lose their minds when they see them, am I right?”

Liang Han laughed. “What nonsense are you talking about? I haven’t lost my mind. Why are you always making up stories? You—you, hurry up and go substitute for Fang Xi before the guests ply her with too many drinks. Oh right, did you tell Fang Xi about what happened just now?”

Lu Hui shook her head. “Fang Xi was busy changing her clothes and touching up her makeup with the help of a band of make-up artists and clothing designers, so I decided not to squeeze my way in there. I saw Mr. Mo come over and thought things should be fine with him present, so I didn’t tell Fang Xi.”
