The man’s laughter came to an abrupt end. His eyes widened as he stared at Sirius in disbelief. “How is that possible? You’re lying! If he knew, how could you still…”
The man suddenly shut his mouth. His eyes stared meaningfully at Sirius as he said vaguely, “I say, could it be that you’re willing to work with your boss…”
As soon as the man said that, Sirius’ face darkened. He looked up at the man’s lustful eyes and said coldly, “Lin Yan, watch your words.”
The man, Lin Yan, saw Sirius’ expression and did not restrain himself. Instead, he only became more unscrupulous.
Sirius’ change of expression made him feel that he had guessed right. Sirius was having an affair with his boss, which was why he had claimed his current position today.
Not far away, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng could not help but frown when they heard Lin Yan’s words. Although Kirsten had established himself as a broadminded and adventurous man, they really did not think that he would do such a thing. Moreover, the tone of this man’s words really made people unhappy.
“What, did I say something wrong? Are you angry from embarrassment? I have to say it. If you dare to do it, won’t you let others say it? I told you. How can someone like him still dare to hire you? So it turns out that you used this method. Sirius, after so many years, you’re still so disgusting.”
Sirius’ face darkened slightly. He was about to refute him when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him. “Sirius, why are you here?”
The two of them were shocked. They turned around and saw Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng walking toward them side by side with gentle smiles on their faces.
“Mr. Mu, Ms. Zhao, why are you here?” Sirius quickly came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng who had suddenly appeared. He didn’t know when they had arrived and how much they had heard.
“It’s a little stuffy inside, so I came out for a walk. Why are you also outside?”
“I also felt that it was a little stuffy inside, so I came out to get some fresh air.”
“Oh, I see. Now that we’ve gotten some fresh air, shouldn’t we head back in? I see that Kirsten is almost done entertaining the other guests. If he can’t find us later, he’ll probably start nagging at us again.”
Sirius was stunned. He knew that Zhao Youlin was helping him out, so he nodded with a smile.
Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng’s eyes were on Sirius from the beginning to the end. They didn’t even look at Lin Yan. At first, Lin Yan was worried that Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng might have heard their conversation. After all, what he said just now was just during a heated moment. Even if something like that really happened, it would be easy to offend people.
These two people appeared to be rather important guests. Apparently, they were very familiar with Kirsten himself. If word of this reached his ears, he would be in trouble.
However, when he realized that Zhao Youlin and the other two’s eyes had been fixed on Sirius and did not even spare him a glance, he started to get furious. The jealousy and hatred in his eyes only grew.
“I didn’t expect your flattery skills to be so good. You hooked up with that one, and now you’ve hooked up with these two. Why didn’t I see you being this good when I was in school? Or was it because you had nowhere else to go after you were expelled from school? That’s why…”
As soon as Lin Yan said this, the faces of the other people turned ugly. Zhao Youlin narrowed her eyes and stared at Lin Yan’s smug and malicious face. She sneered, “Lin Yan, right? What does it have to do with you how others got to where they are today? What you said just now, even if it is true or not, it still is the undeniable result of the abilities of others. Your words…”
As she said this, Zhao Youlin looked Lin Yan up and down meaningfully for a while and said with a chuckle, “Even if you tried to follow his alleged method, I’m afraid no one would be as accepting.”
Lin Yan’s face suddenly turned green. He looked at Zhao Youlin with a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
Mu Tingfeng saw his gaze and narrowed his eyes. He took a step forward without anyone noticing and stood before Zhao Youlin.
Zhao Youlin naturally noticed Lin Yan’s malice, and her impression of this man became even worse.
“This… Oh, Mr. Lin, right? We heard what you said just now. Westerners are indeed more open and tolerant, but slandering people is not something that makes people happy no matter where it is, especially since today also happens to be their wedding.”
“You!” Lin Yan saw that he could not refute Zhao Youlin, so he immediately pointed his finger at Sirius. “You… do you dare to say that my allegations are untrue?”
Sirius frowned slightly, a little visibly furious. He didn’t mind what Lin Yan said about him, but Kirsten and his wife had been taking very good care of him. If he sullied their names because of this… it would be unacceptable.
When Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng heard Lin Yan’s words, their faces also turned ugly. Without waiting for Sirius to flare up… Mu Tingfeng spoke first. “It’s simply not your place to speak about that. Whether it’s slander or not, it’s not up to you to decide. You should know better than anyone who is the boss of Sirius. Even if you don’t, you should have some idea about the people who came to the banquet today. What do you think he will do to you if we tell him what you said just now? What will happen to you when you’re abroad in the future?”
Mu Tingfeng’s words contained obvious threats and intimidation. Lin Yan was not a pure fool, and he quickly understood. The way he looked at Mu Tingfeng and the others became more and more vicious and indignant.
“Now, can you…” Zhao Youlin narrowed her eyes and pointed at the empty courtyard beside her, indicating that Lin Yan could get lost if he had nothing else to do.
Lin Yan’s fierce eyes swept over them one by one, but he didn’t say anything. He turned around and ran out of the courtyard in a huff.
Once Lin Yan left, the stagnant atmosphere among them suddenly became a little awkward. In the end, Sirius spoke first.
“Just now… I really wish to thank the two of you.”
Mu Tingfeng glanced at Sirius and said indifferently, “Since you are Kirsten’s friend, you are also our friend. You are welcome.”
Sirius smiled.
Zhao Youlin looked at him and suddenly remembered something. She smiled and said, “However, I’m curious to know why Mr. Lin was so eager to find trouble with you, Sirius. Also, from the tone of your conversation just now, you seem to be familiar with each other.”
