Song Shi'an did not want this birthday banquet to turn into a joke, so he secretly reached out and tugged at Lu Mingyu's sleeve.
In a low voice, he said, "Mingyu, don't argue with her."
Lu Mingyu casually took Song Shi'an's hand, their fingers interlocking. "Yes, I like Shi An. So what?"
Huang Xiaohong's face went deathly pale. She stared at Lu Mingyu in disbelief, her lips trembling. "Y-you... aren't you afraid of what people will say about you?"
"Why should I care about other people's opinions?" Lu Mingyu countered, looking at the person beside him.
He asked, "Does anyone here have a problem with that?"
Who at the scene would dare have an objection?
They all wanted to curry favor with Lu Mingyu, so they hurriedly began singing his praises.
"What era is this? It's perfectly normal to like either men or women."
"Exactly. The gentleman by President Lu's side looks handsome and capable. With him and President Lu together, it's a powerhouse alliance."
"This gentleman is clearly outstanding..."
The compliments came one after another.
They really could lie through their teeth with their eyes wide open.
They praised Song Shi'an so much that he started feeling embarrassed.
"And the Lu family can accept you like this?!" Huang Xiaohong asked unwillingly.
Lu Tingting emerged from the crowd. Having heard what Huang Xiaohong said, she looked somewhat angry. "Whether my family accepts him or not, what does that have to do with you?"
"Does my brother need your approval just to like someone? Who do you think you are?"
Huang Xiaohong's face flushed red. But having come this far, she could only grit her teeth and continue. "You are the person in charge of Lu Group. If you like a man, you're destined to have no heirs in the future!"
