Especially when walking alongside Boss Liu, the contrast becomes even more obvious.

In such a setting, Mrs. Liu, someone from such a small place like Industry City, showed no sign of nervousness.

She held her head high and walked with immense confidence, step by step.

Far surpassing Ye Ning.

When Ye Ning had just entered, none of the guests cast their gaze upon her.

That made Ye Ning so nervous that she faltered.

Now, all eyes were fixed on Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu, however, could remain focused, not even her posture shook, nor did she show any signs of troubled breathing or take any deep breaths.

Even under such scrutiny, she showed no hint of nervousness and continued to move forward calmly.

In doing so, Mrs. Liu earned people’s admiration, making them look at her with newfound respect.

Businessmen pursue profit and can be somewhat snobbish.

But they still admire those who remain calm under pressure.

Like Mrs. Liu.

Even Boss Liu was not as composed as Mrs. Liu.

Walking beside Mrs. Liu, he was half a head shorter.

No matter how expensive the suit worn on his bulky figure was, it seemed as though it was bought for a mere hundred on Taobao.

Not to mention that being in the spotlight influenced the atmosphere, making Boss Liu less composed.

Driven by curiosity, the guests had already made way for Boss Liu and Mrs. Liu to walk through effortlessly.

Countless pairs of eyes bore down from both sides, making even Boss Liu’s calves tremble with nervousness.

His eyes struggled to stay directed forward, wandering unpredictably within their sockets.

Luckily, Mrs. Liu was beside him.

Though Mrs. Liu hadn’t touched him or supported him.

But having someone to walk with him somewhat bolstered his courage.

Thus, they walked directly up to Zhao Gushen.

Boss Liu became sheepish and dared not look at Zhao Gushen.

Even though he had never touched Ye Fei.

But back then, he had made deals with Ye Ning and had schemed about Ye Fei.

Therefore, he was quite afraid of Zhao Gushen.

Earlier, Mrs. Liu had informed him that Zhao Gushen knew everything.

Mrs. Liu also told him that Ye Ning planned to go to B City and blame him.

Falsely accuse him of infidelity with Ye Fei and of having a child with her.

Ye Ning was confused, but Boss Liu was very clear.

He hadn’t touched Ye Fei at all, not even met her face-to-face.

Where could the child come from?

His only son now was born by Ye Ning.

But even so, Boss Liu had no deep feelings for Ye Ning from their brief relationship.

Perhaps once he did.

But upon discovering that Ye Ning dared to falsely accuse and plot against him, those feelings vanished.

Moreover, Boss Liu had given Ye Ning a million at that time.

The matter was settled long ago.

He didn’t owe Ye Ning anything.

Boss Liu understood these matters without needing Mrs. Liu to clarify much.

He could clearly foresee how Zhao Gushen would retaliate if he believed Ye Ning.

Even if Zhao Gushen didn’t believe Ye Ning, just the audacity to scheme against Ye Fei, even without meeting her, would make Zhao Gushen displeased and unwilling to let him off.

Boss Liu was infuriated with this.

He didn’t owe Ye Ning anything.

Ye Ning gave him a child, but he paid her as agreed.

Yet Ye Ning still wanted to leverage him against Ye Fei.

Regardless of success or failure, he’d be doomed.

Just because Ye Ning couldn’t stand Ye Fei, why try to drag him down!

Of course, when Mrs. Liu mentioned this, Boss Liu was somewhat skeptical.

Because he thought if it were true, no matter how it ended, Ye Ning wouldn’t come out unscathed.

If Ye Ning succeeded in falsely accusing Ye Fei.

While Ye Fei certainly wouldn’t have a good ending.

Regarding embarrassing Zhao Gushen in such a public setting.

Zhao Gushen couldn’t possibly spare Ye Ning.

If Ye Ning’s claims were proven false, it’d be slander against Ye Fei.

She definitely wouldn’t have a good ending.

No matter the outcome, it would be detrimental to others and even ruin herself.

Boss Liu couldn’t understand why Ye Ning would do such a thing.

She must be foolish to act like this.

Hence, Boss Liu didn’t quite believe Ye Ning would be so reckless.

Mrs. Liu, however, reassured him as she invited him to tonight’s gathering.

After all, coming wasn’t causing any loss.

Mrs. Liu had secured the invitation.

They’d have nothing to lose; if it was false, Boss Liu could use the opportunity to meet more business people, only beneficial.

If it were true, he would promptly clear his name.

Since Ye Ning wanted to cause trouble for him, Boss Liu felt no need to be courteous to Ye Ning.

He had to clear himself first.

Mrs. Liu also promised that once his name was cleared, she knew a way to ensure Zhao Gushen wouldn’t blame him.

Boss Liu trusted Mrs. Liu.

At least, she wouldn’t deceive him like Ye Ning.

Boss Liu pondered and agreed with Mrs. Liu.

Coming was hassle-free.

Just some flight fare and accommodation cost, expenses he hardly cared about.

If there was no issue, he could still network more, which would be great.

Should any problems arise, he’d quickly prove his innocence.

Thus, Boss Liu came with Mrs. Liu.

Being from Ye City, Boss Liu was just an ordinary businessman.

He had experience, but not to an exceptional extent.

He didn’t know how prestigious tonight’s banquet was.

He didn’t realize how hard it was to get an invitation.

Naturally, he never questioned how Mrs. Liu obtained such a coveted invitation.

They slipped in when no one noticed.

Upon hearing Ye Ning indeed accused him greatly.

Boss Liu couldn’t restrain himself.

But was held back by Mrs. Liu, saying the timing wasn’t right.

When would the timing be right?

Mrs. Liu said to trust her.

Boss Liu decided to trust Mrs. Liu.

After all, it was Mrs. Liu who discovered Ye Ning’s plot against him.

Indicating Mrs. Liu had some connections.

Earlier, upon hearing Mrs. Liu speak up, they both revealed themselves immediately.

Boss Liu, suddenly under so much attention, was still quite nervous.

In front of Zhao Gushen, Mrs. Liu first introduced herself: "Sorry for speaking up abruptly, disturbing everyone."

"This is Boss Liu, whom Ye Ning refers to, and I am his wife," said Mrs. Liu.

"I apologize for the trouble we’ve caused Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao. I never expected Ye Ning, who clearly took the million my husband gave, to claim we cleared things only to then come here and smear Mrs. Zhao."

"Slandering Mrs. Zhao while dragging our family into this; I cannot agree," Mrs. Liu angrily exclaimed.

"Our family is just ordinary business people, we can’t handle this kind of trouble."

"You gave birth to my husband’s child, there’s absolutely no connection to Mrs. Zhao!"

"You’re lying!" Ye Ning exclaimed sharply.

She never expected Boss Liu and Mrs. Liu to actually come.
