Unfortunately, Ye Wanqing's dress had a tear. Although the specific reason was still unclear, it was undoubtedly a bit inappropriate in such a formal occasion.

Mrs. Lin's speech about accountability made every guest present feel the meaning behind her words.

Their conversation was not conducted in a secluded place. Although the volume was not loud, people around them could still hear it clearly. This way of handling the matter also invisibly saved some face for Ye Wanqing.

Since Ye Wanqing expressed no interest in pursuing the matter further, Mrs. Lin did not insist. She was old and needed to rest. After meeting Ye Wanqing, she left accompanied by the housekeeper. The subsequent arrangements for the birthday banquet naturally fell on Lin Xuan's shoulders.

Qin Zhuyu thought Ye Wanqing was too naive. Mrs. Lin had already offered to help her find out the truth, but she chose not to pursue the matter.

"Wanxing, why are you so naive? If you give in like this, it will only make those with bad intentions think you are easy to bully."

Ye Wanqing gently sipped the juice in her hand and replied with a smile: "I'm not that easy to be bullied."

As she spoke, she glanced at Xu Xinyi who was talking to Lin Xuan not far away. Her beautiful eyes raised slightly, then she lowered her head and smiled softly: "Do you want to eat cake? That cake looks very tempting."

The huge cake had been cut into small pieces and distributed to each table. Ye Wanqing had not had the chance to taste it yet. Since she was here, she naturally had to try this delicious cake.

"The cake is indeed very tempting. Do you want to eat it? I'll go get you a piece."

Qin Zhuyu said this and really stood up to get the cake for Ye Wanqing.

When she came back with the cake, she was diverted by Ye Wanqing's previous topic and it was not appropriate to continue the previous topic.

Qin Zhuyu felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Xu Xinyi following Lin Xuan closely.

"Evening Star, let's go over there."

Ye Wanqing was enjoying the delicious cake when she was suddenly pulled by Qin Zhuyu and the cake almost touched her face.

She gently licked the cake crumbs on her lips, then followed Qin Zhuyu to Lin Xuan's side.

Lin Xuan and his friends were gathered together chatting and laughing, while Xu Xinyi was standing quietly by the side. If someone was not in the know, one might mistakenly think that she was someone close to Lin Xuan.

Qin Zhuyu was quite unhappy with this scene, so she pulled Ye Wanqing over.

Qin Huai noticed his sister approaching, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked curiously, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

Qin Zhuyu was a little dissatisfied with her brother's question: "Why can't I come over? Are you discussing some secret that cannot be revealed? Besides, Miss Xu is not here. I'll come over to listen to what's the problem."

Everyone present knew who Qin Zhuyu was targeting.

Xu Xinyi, however, acted as if she knew nothing. She looked at Lin Xuan with an innocent expression: "Did I disturb you, Lin Xuan?"

Lin Xuan did not answer her, but his eyes fell on Ye Wanqing who was tasting cake not far away, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He thought to himself that Ye Wanqing was still thinking about him, otherwise she would not have appeared at the banquet tonight.

Who is that Zhao Jinyu?

He sneered, his thoughts in words difficult to express.

Feeling Lin Xuan's gaze, Ye Wanqing gently raised her eyes and met Lin Xuan's gaze. She smiled faintly and said, "I still have some things to deal with. I'll take my leave now."

Lin Xuan didn't expect Ye Wanqing to leave so quickly. He frowned slightly and said, "Secretary Zhao, please send Miss Ye back."

Ye Wanqing turned to Xu Yi and said, "No need to bother, Secretary Zhao."

As she spoke, she placed the cake plate in her hand on the table next to her.

Qin Zhuyu looked at Ye Wanqing in surprise: "Wanxing, are you leaving so soon?"

"Well, there are some things I need to take care of."

Seeing that Ye Wanqing's expression did not seem fake, Qin Zhuyu did not insist on keeping her, but she couldn't help feeling a little regretful. Ye Wanqing's early departure seemed to make Xu Xinyi seem a little complacent.

Ye Wanqing declined Zhao Yu's escort and did not let Qin Zhuyu accompany her, then left the banquet quietly.

The nights at this time of year were a little chilly. Ye Wanqing's car had been parked in the parking lot for more than an hour, and the heating in the car had long since dissipated.

She started the car's heater, pulled her laptop from the back seat, turned on the roof light, and began reviewing the new book with full concentration.

Ye Wanqing sat quietly in the car for about an hour, until she saw Xu Xinyi walking out of the birthday party, then she slowly closed the notebook and put it back into her handbag.

After finishing packing, she started the car and slowly drove out of the parking space.

At the same time, Xu Xinyi and Bai Pinghui were discussing Ye Wanqing's embarrassing situation tonight with great interest. They did not notice that a bright red sports car was quietly approaching them.

"Ye Wanqing was truly humiliated tonight. She thought that by dressing up carefully, she could become the focus of the whole audience and attract Lin Xuan's attention again. After making such a fool of herself at Mrs. Lin's birthday party, she probably won't be able to set foot in the Lin family again."

Bai Pinghui became more and more excited as he spoke. He turned to look at Xu Xinyi and said, "Xinyi, did you come up with this plan? It's amazing!"

Xu Xinyi glanced at Bai Pinghui and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. Don't make random guesses."

Bai Pinghui was speechless for a moment, "Could it not be you? Then who could it be? It seems that Ye Wanqing has indeed made a lot of enemies!"

Xu Xinyi smiled softly, a hint of pride in her tone: "Just say this in front of me, don't spread it around. Her skirt is of poor quality, who can I blame?"

Bai Pinghui seemed to understand Xu Xinyi's explanation, "Xinyi, you are really getting smarter."

Xu Xinyi snorted lightly and said nothing: "Really?"

Bai Pinghui's curiosity was piqued: "I heard that her skirt was specially customized, the quality shouldn't be so bad, how did you do it?"

Xu Xinyi put down her phone, her lips curled up. "You've heard of pickpockets on buses, right? They have razor blades in their hands, and they can silently cut open people's bags and take out everything inside in just a second or two."

Bai Pinghui's eyes lit up as he suddenly realized, "You can even think of this method, it's amazing!"

Xu Xinyi smiled and slowly drove the car out of the parking space: "Doesn't she like to be in the spotlight? Then I will let her be in the spotlight to the fullest!"

She had dressed up carefully for several hours, and as soon as Ye Wanqing appeared, all eyes were focused on her.

Just as Xu Xinyi finished her words, a loud bang suddenly rang out, and their car was violently hit. Bai Pinghui screamed in fear, and Xu Xinyi was also startled and hurriedly stepped on the brakes, bringing the car to a rapid stop.

As soon as the car stopped, Bai Pinghui hurriedly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out in a panic. Xu Xinyi frowned, quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, and hurriedly got out of the car.

The two stood outside the car and took a closer look. They found that the person who hit their car was Ye Wanqing, whom they had just been talking about behind her back.

Ye Wanqing also walked out of her red sports car. The sudden collision caused a commotion at the scene. The guests who were about to leave couldn't help but turn their heads and look over here curiously.

Xu Xinyi quickly walked to the back of the car and found that it was severely deformed and the taillight fragments were scattered all over the ground. Her face was livid and she walked towards Ye Wanqing and asked, "Miss Ye, what do you mean by this? Did you hit our car on purpose?"

Ye Wanqing also looked at the damaged headlight, frowned slightly, and replied calmly: "Sorry, Miss Xu, I haven't driven for a long time, and my driving skills are a bit rusty. I accidentally stepped on the accelerator too hard just now."

While Ye Wanqing was saying these words, she always kept a faint smile on her face. Her tone was calm and she did not show any apology.
