Xu Xinyi's scream instantly broke the silence of the scene, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Wanqing.

Everyone looked at Ye Wanqing's dress in astonishment, only to see the buttons on her back suddenly break open. As the buttons fell off, the back of her dress was torn apart. With a "hiss", Ye Wanqing's entire back was exposed to the air.

Ye Wanqing quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly reached out to cover herself, but because her other hand was still holding the cake, she was unable to cover her back in time. As a result, a large area of skin was exposed to everyone without any cover.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan frowned and hurried to the stage, but his steps were still a beat slow because Zhao Jinyu had already acted quickly.

Zhao Jinyu took off his suit jacket without hesitation and gently covered Ye Wanqing's shoulders. Then he took the cake from her hand and asked gently:

"Are you OK?"

Ye Wanqing gave him a grateful look and said softly, "Thank you."

She clutched her suit tightly, feeling the embarrassment of having her back almost completely exposed.

Zhao Jinyu placed the cake on a tray held by a passing waiter and suggested, "Can I go with you to the dressing room?"

He knew there was a special changing room upstairs, prepared for emergencies like this.

Since the back of Ye Wanqing's skirt was completely torn, it would undoubtedly appear very rude if she continued to wear it like this, so she did not refuse Zhao Jinyu's kindness.

At this time, Lin Xuan also walked down from the stage. He quickly glanced at Ye Wanqing, then looked at Zhao Jinyu, and then gave an order to Zhao Yu who was following behind him: "Zhao Yu, take Miss Ye to the dressing room."

Zhao Yu immediately stepped forward and politely guided her: "Miss Ye, please follow me."

Seeing that Ye Wanqing was being led by someone, Zhao Jinyu did not continue to follow, but stayed where she was.

Before leaving, Ye Wanqing's gaze fell on Xu Xinyi on the stage.

Xu Xinyi on the stage was also looking at her. When their eyes met in mid-air, the corners of Xu Xinyi's mouth twitched slightly, but she quickly adjusted her expression and restored her previous smile.

Seeing this, Qin Zhuyu hurried down from the stage and rushed to Ye Wanqing's side, asking with concern: "Wanqing, what's wrong? What happened?"

When she heard Xu Xinyi's scream, she thought Ye Wanqing had accidentally fallen, and her face changed with fear.

However, when she looked back at the actual situation, she found that the situation was not much better than falling.

Due to the distance, she could only witness the moment when Ye Wanqing's skirt was torn.

Although in modern society, it is not considered a serious faux pas for women to expose their backs.

But tonight was Mrs. Lin's birthday party, and Ye Wanqing's original attire was both decent and elegant. The sudden tear, although revealing her beautiful back, was still a disrespectful behavior in such an occasion.

"It's no big deal. Maybe the material of this skirt is not strong enough." Ye Wanqing said lightly.

Qin Zhuyu was clearly not convinced by this explanation. "Didn't you have this dress custom-made? How could it break so easily?"

Ye Wanqing just responded softly, "Hmm," without further explaining the situation.

Qin Zhuyu gritted her teeth in anger and said, "This matter is definitely related to Xu Xinyi! I'm going to find Mrs. Lin and ask her to give you an explanation!"

Hearing Qin Zhuyu's words, Ye Wanqing hurriedly stopped her: "Zhuyu, don't go."

"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to tolerate this kind of thing," said Qin Zhuyu.

Ye Wanqing smiled helplessly, with a hint of bitterness in her tone: "Even if we can't bear it, we have to endure it. Why should we make Mrs. Lin unhappy because of such a small matter?"

She had been Mrs. Lu for six years and knew Mrs. Lin's temper and habits very well. She knew that what Mrs. Lin valued most was appearance and decency.

Although Ye Wanqing had some minor trouble tonight, it did not cause any major commotion after all.

If we really dig deeper, it might affect the harmonious atmosphere of Mrs. Lin’s birthday party.

Qin Zhuyu carefully observed Ye Wanqing's calm face, her heart full of doubts. She couldn't tell whether Ye Wanqing really didn't care or was actually burning with anger inside.

However, it was really too much for such a thing to happen at Mrs. Lin's birthday party.

Every guest present was a prominent figure in the capital.

Ye Wanqing encountered such an embarrassing situation in such an occasion. Tomorrow, the gossip about this matter will probably spread all over the capital.

Just as Ye Wanqing and Qin Zhuyu were talking, Zhao Yu in front suddenly interrupted: "Miss Ye, we have arrived at the changing room."

Ye Wanqing nodded slightly, expressed her gratitude in a soft voice, and then walked steadily into the changing room.

Qin Zhuyu followed in and found a variety of dresses on display. She immediately caught sight of a very eye-catching dress and said excitedly, "Wanqing, this one! Xu Xinyi dared to attack you. She's obviously jealous of your brilliance tonight. We have to let her know who the real focus is!"

Ye Wanqing glanced at the skirt in Qin Zhuyu's hand and shook her head slightly: "This one is too exaggerated and not suitable."

As she spoke, she picked out a simple yet elegant white dress and then walked into the fitting room next door.

Qin Zhuyu sat on the soft sofa and sighed softly, feeling that Ye Wanqing was too tolerant.

Zhao Yu returned to Lin Xuan's side at this time. Recalling the previous conversation with Ye Wanqing, he also felt that Ye Wanqing's handling method was too generous.

When Lin Xuan saw Zhao Yu coming back, he asked, "How is Ye Wanqing doing now?"

"Miss Qin accompanied her to change clothes."

Zhao Yu replied, and after a brief hesitation, he decided to continue, "Boss Lin, there's something I'm not sure if I should report."

Lin Xuan glanced at him sideways and said directly: "Just say whatever you want to say, don't hesitate."

Zhao Yu smiled awkwardly and explained, "When I took Miss Ye to the dressing room, I accidentally overheard her conversation with Miss Qin. It seems that this incident is related to Miss Xu."

Lin Xuan frowned after hearing this: "Xu Xinyi?"

Zhao Yu repeated the conversation between Ye Wanqing and Qin Zhuyu. After listening, Lin Xuan took a sip of the red wine in his hand and said in a cold tone:

"When did you develop the habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations?"

Zhao Yu hurriedly explained awkwardly: "I...just overheard it."

Lin Xuan snorted coldly, indicating that he understood the situation. Seeing this, Zhao Yu didn't dare to continue the topic and quietly stepped aside.

Ye Wanqing quickly changed into the white long dress, and when she appeared in front of everyone again, her beauty made any outfit look more dazzling.

The white long dress made her look like an orchid in the mountains, fresh and refined, pleasing to the eye.

Qin Zhuyu re-combed her hair. Compared with her previous pink outfit, Ye Wanqing's current white long dress added a kind of otherworldly fairy spirit and softness, making her look particularly charming.

With the help of the housekeeper, Mrs. Lin slowly walked up to Ye Wanqing and asked:

"Wanqing, what happened just now?" Mrs. Lin's face looked slightly unhappy, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with what had just happened.

Ye Wanqing smiled slightly and said lightly: "Maybe the new tailor is not skilled enough and didn't collect the thread."

Her words revealed an attitude of not wanting to pursue the matter.

"But if the thread ends are not tied up properly, will it cause the entire back to crack?" Mrs. Lin was obviously skeptical of this explanation.

Ye Wanqing pursed her lips lightly and did not explain further. However, Qin Zhuyu beside her could not help but interrupt:

"Yeah, how could such a nice skirt tear so easily?"

Mrs. Lin hated this kind of behind-the-scenes trickery the most. She said seriously:

"Don't worry, you're here to celebrate my birthday today. If something like this happens, I'll definitely let Xuan get to the bottom of it!"

Mrs. Lin said, then called out, "Ah Xuan!"

Lin Xuan immediately nodded in response: "I will find out, mother."

"No need, Mrs. Lin," Ye Wanqing continued to smile, as if the embarrassment just now was just a small matter to her, "It was just a small accident."

Mrs. Lin looked at her and confirmed again: "Really, you don't need to check?"

"I came to congratulate you on your birthday with joy. If this little thing dampens your spirits, I'd rather not come."

Ye Wanqing's words were gentle and considerate, making people feel warm in their hearts.

Mrs. Lin was deeply moved after hearing this: "Since you said so, I won't pursue it any further. I understand your kindness."

Not far away, Xu Xinyi heard Mrs. Lin's words and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was just about to relax when she looked up and saw Ye Wanqing looking at her with a sharp gaze.

Xu Xinyi returned Ye Wanqing's gaze without fear, while Ye Wanqing frowned slightly, glanced down at the buttons in her hand, and thought to herself: This woman is very scheming and has very clever means.
