Chapter 1098
Zhao Xiaotang glared fiercely at Li Yun'er, "What do you mean 'what happened?' You'll find out later what you've done."
"Don't say I didn't warn you, our Zhao Family is not to be trifled with either."
Zhao Xiaotang's words left Li Yun'er even more puzzled; how did this end up involving the Zhao Family?
At this moment, Xia Xue kept her promise and introduced Zhao Xiaotang to Shen Mange.
Zhao Xiaotang walked over and greeted Shen Mange politely.
Zhao Xiaotang didn't rush to state her business with Shen Mange but instead took the initiative to invite Shen Mange and Xia Xue to dinner.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Yang suddenly came and caused trouble.
"No need for dinner; we don't even know each other well."
"Let's go, I'm already hungry."
After saying this, Zhang Yang called out to Shen Mange and Xia Xue.
What surprised Zhao Xiaotang and Li Yun'er was that Shen Mange actually agreed in the face of such rude behavior.
Li Yun'er had previously speculated that Zhang Yang might be some super-rich second-generation heir.
She didn't expect even Shen Mange would be so easily swayed by him, further confirming Li Yun'er's speculation.
Regretting in her heart, she thought she should've been more patient and won over this man.
Now, it's too late; the duck in hand has flown away.
However, when Zhao Xiaotang noticed Shen Mange standing with Zhang Yang, her expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly took out her phone.
She flipped to a saved photo album, where there was a picture showing the backs of Shen Mange and a man.
Zhao Xiaotang's purpose in finding Shen Mange was to find this man.
At this moment, comparing the background of this photo, wasn't it Zhang Yang?
Zhao Xiaotang was both surprised and delighted, never expecting that the person she was looking for was right nearby.
But thinking back to the bit of unpleasantness with Zhang Yang before, Zhao Xiaotang felt displeased.
She turned back and glared fiercely at Li Yun'er, "I'll settle the score with you later."
Li Yun'er thought Zhao Xiaotang was a bit crazy, then watched her chase after Shen Mange.
Li Yun'er hesitated for a moment, deciding to shamelessly go over to see the commotion.
She mainly wanted to see what Zhao Xiaotang wanted from Shen Mange.
Shen Mange did not know about the previous unpleasantness between them but could tell that Zhao Xiaotang seemed to have something to discuss with her.
"Miss Zhao, just say what you need to say."
"I apologize, we have friends who don't like to socialize with outsiders; I'll host and invite you next time."
Shen Mange also noticed earlier that Zhang Yang didn't want outsiders invited, so she said this.
Zhao Xiaotang gave a bitter smile, then looked up at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang suddenly found the woman's gaze had become somewhat different from before, though he couldn't pinpoint how it was different, just that it was odd.
Zhao Xiaotang took out her phone, opened that image, and asked Shen Mange, "There were news reports about you a while back. I want to know who this man always with you is."
Shen Mange glanced at the back view in the photo, then lifted her head to look at Zhang Yang.
This move was caught by Zhao Xiaotang, further confirming her suspicion.
But then Shen Mange cautiously asked, "Why do you want to know about him? Do you need something from him?"
"I have something important to ask for his help with."
"Could you introduce me? Don't worry; I won't let him help for nothing."
Shen Mange looked at Zhao Xiaotang with a strange expression, and then at Zhang Yang, unsure whether she should introduce Zhang Yang to Zhao Xiaotang.
It also seemed that Zhao Xiaotang had already guessed the truth.
But why go through her to meet Zhang Yang unless there was some prior unpleasantness between them that needed mediation?
Having navigated this circle for so many years, Shen Mange could immediately discern these social dynamics.
To be cautious, without knowing Zhang Yang's attitude towards this woman, Shen Mange wouldn't promise anything.
"I understand; I'll mention it to him. If he's willing to meet you, I can introduce you."
Zhao Xiaotang didn't expect Shen Mange to be that cautious.
At this moment, a disharmonious voice sounded.
"Isn't that Zhang Yang?" Li Yun'er, at some point, came closer, immediately recognizing Zhang Yang in the photo.
Only then did Li Yun'er understand that Zhao Xiaotang wanted to meet Shen Mange to find Zhang Yang.
It was truly ridiculous; the man was right there, yet she was looking far and wide.
However, judging by only this back view, it was indeed hard to recognize Zhang Yang.
Originally, Shen Mange and Zhao Xiaotang had an unspoken understanding to give each other some time, but now it was all exposed by Li Yun'er, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Xia Xue was also full of astonishment, and moments later, everyone present could confirm the man in Zhao Xiaotang's photo with the back view was indeed Zhang Yang.
This photo was taken not long ago when Zhang Yang and Shen Mange were walking together and was captured secretly.
Since the truth was out, despite feeling awkward, Zhao Xiaotang had no choice but to continue, "Mr. Zhang Yang, I didn't expect you to be the person I've been searching for."
Seeing Zhao Xiaotang becoming so polite, Zhang Yang said with a smile, "Let's just get to the point; what do you want from me?"
"I remember; I've never met you before, and we don't have a grudge, do we?"
In Zhang Yang's opinion, most people looking for him were enemies.
Zhao Xiaotang was about to explain when her phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller, Zhao Xiaotang's eyebrows furrowed.
Then, in front of everyone, she answered the phone. Although it wasn't on speaker, an angry roar could still be heard from the receiver.
"You b*tch, what did you do?"
"In just two days, it's your wedding day, and now you've gotten involved in a scandal."
Zhao Xiaotang's face darkened, then calmly replied to the person on the other end, "Mom, this scandal isn't what you think, I'll handle it later, let's leave it here for now."
When Zhao Xiaotang looked up again, she found everyone in the room was staring at her.
About to get married, yet involved in a scandal; this woman's courage was quite something.
Li Yun'er looked Zhao Xiaotang up and down with a mocking gaze. She used to act like a saint, but now it seems she was just a little b*tch in secret.
How would Zhao Xiaotang maintain her high and mighty demeanor now?
Li Yun'er took out her phone, wanting to see who Zhao Xiaotang was rumored to be with.
But moments later, upon seeing the man wrapped in a towel in the photo was Zhang Yang, Li Yun'er was utterly confused.
Next, Li Yun'er said to Zhao Xiaotang, "What's going on? When did you start seeing this man, and why don't I know about it?"
Once Li Yun'er displayed her phone screen, everyone present was stunned.
