123 Digesting the News
Friday, continued ...
The eerie silence within the room was only broken when someoe asked "Did CEO Hou Yi just call the woman he swung into his arms his wife?"
These words ignited everyone to discuss what they had just seen and heard.Everyone knew about the press release yesterday, but really thought it was bluff to enable Hou Yi to undertake charity work, despite it mentioning of \'Madam Hou\', as it would be inappropriate for a single male to be involved in charity efforts to help women.No one had met Madam Hou, and given Yang Lin had married Lu Jinhu they had no idea who this Madam Hou could be as he had no one in his life, so they thought.
Who Anna was sparked debate within the gathered social elites of City T.Some believed they had misheared Hou Yi, as they viewed he had been devoted to Yang Lin before her marriage, and despite hisown heartbreak he willing went to her formal marriage ceremony.In those circumstances they believed he would not have married so soon.
Many of the single young women, were grateful he had not married Yang Lin as they believed this gave them a chance.Hou Yi\'s words shattered their dreams of becoming his wife and the Lady Boss of Hou Enterprises.
The balance generally believed that they heard the truth, in that Hou Yi was legally married to this woman, or as good as.His reaction as soon as he saw a threat to the her were to protect her.No one had ever caused him to react as he did.he always appeared aloof, and when she started to collapse he picked her up and carried her away.This group was split between a that believed it was simply a marriage to save face given Yang Lin\'s marriage and others that believed it to be a love match.
The problem for the social elites in City T, was no one seemed to know who she was except Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin, and therefore the next time they run into her they were uncertain on how to treat her.This complication was added to by the fact that the Hou family members and senior Hou Enterprises staff all followed Hou Yi out the door.
People started to pull out mobile phones and commenced making calls to people who were not present or had some connections with government to see if they could figure out who she was.
Yang Lin and Lu JInhu were furious.They been publically humuiliated by Annam when she had gorten into the room without them knowing.Somehow they found out she had gotten her hooks into Hou Yi, who Yang Lin still thought she had wrapped around her fingers and could get anything out of.
Yang Lin was shocked at what he did, so publicly. It was humiliating how Hou Yi looked at Anna, as he had never looked at her that way, and ruined her reputation. she knew she had to make her suffer, but how was the question.Also the realisation hit her that she had been deluding herself as to Hou Yi\'s feelings and that made her more determined than ever to make Anna pay.
Lu Jinhu could not accept Anna had gotten into the room, let alone being able to roam free around the country, leave and return, and not to have been arrested and deported.He did everything to ensure she would be humiliated and he got her laptop to access her work systems to get as much money as he could and complete her humiliation.
Now, apparently Anna had the backing of one of the most influential people in the country, and could humiliate him, Lu Jinhu.He was also annoyed that before Hou Yi dropped his bombshell she had managed to serve him with the documents in such a public place.He could never deny that he had been served with them.
The crowd, after talking about Hou Yi, then turned their attention to Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin, and realised that both of them were so annoyed at something.One of Lu Jinhu\'s school friends, a fellow so-called princeling, Ang Hung came up to him, and while trying to snatch the papers out of his hand asked "What has got into you two, our newly-wed bride and groom?"
All Yang Lin could say, was "Go away and leave us alone."With that she grabbed Lu Jinhu\'s hand and pulled him out of the room.there was no way she could remain and accept the humiliation of being talked about like she knew people were.That b**ch was ruining her social position.
Those who remained, however felt that there was something else going on, and they simply gossiped the whole night through.The host however could not believe that the gossip and scandal that occurred in the pre-dinner drinks led to one of the best fundraising nights that he had been involved in for years.Who knew gossip and scandal would be such a great fundraiser!
