Big socks! Do you even understand how you kiss a villain?

The surrounding gazes instantly fell on Su Nuannuan's dress. She clenched her fists, and the woman's condescending gaze made her feel an inexplicable fire burning in her chest.

She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice calm and firm: "My dress isn't expensive, and I don't need you to pay for it. Don't you think you should apologize to me first?"

"Apologize? Hehe," the woman smiled, "Little sister, don't be greedy. If I'm not mistaken, 20,000 is more than ten times the value of this dress itself."

Su Nuannuan clenched her fingers so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms, but she still straightened her back. "Is the so-called upbringing of a rich young lady such as never apologizing after bumping into someone? If that's the case, then I'll just accept my bad luck and suffer in silence."

The room fell silent the moment those words were spoken.

Clap clap clap! The woman clapped for her, her slender waist swaying, the sound of her high heels clicking on the ground crisp and clear.

"Well said. Since you say I'm ill-mannered," the woman said, suddenly moving closer to Su Nuannuan, "then you'll just have to swallow this bitter pill!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a crisp slap rang out.

Zuo You stared at Su Nuannuan's face, which had been slapped to one side, and let out a sharp, explosive sound: "Frog! Is this female supporting character really that strong? The female lead was slapped like that?"

Su Nuannuan, who had just been slapped, immediately came to her senses and tried to retaliate with a pursed mouth. However, she was not used to wearing high heels, and the woman was much taller than her, so the woman easily grabbed her wrist.

"You!" Su Nuannuan glared angrily, trying to break free from her grasp, but the woman's hands were as hard as iron, and no matter how she struggled, it was to no avail.

[Tsk tsk, if I were the female lead, I'd attack her lower body, grab her leg, and throw her down!] Zuo You shrank into the crowd, watching the show with great interest.

"Yu Huan! Let go." Yi Qingyue, who had come looking for Zuo You, shouted at the woman. Clearly, they knew each other.

Yu Huan smiled and shook off Su Nuannuan's hand. "It seems that education abroad is quite different. Is Miss Yi now treating her rivals with such gentleness?"

Yi Qingyue's face instantly turned cold. Not wanting to cause any unpleasantness at the banquet, she suppressed her displeasure and said to Su Nuannuan, "Miss, please come with me to the dressing room on the second floor to change your clothes. We can discuss other matters later."

Su Nuannuan had initially thought Yi Qingyue was there to uphold justice, but seeing that the two of them clearly knew each other, a hint of sarcasm flashed across her face.

"You don't need to put on an act for me. Since this banquet doesn't welcome me, I'll just leave. But remember this: fortunes change, and one day I'll get my revenge for the humiliation I suffered today!"

Su Nuannuan was about to leave after speaking when a suit jacket wrapped tightly around her from behind, and an angry voice rang out: "You're my female companion, let's see who dares to kick you out!"

Su Nuannuan paused, and the grievances she had suppressed for so long poured out the moment she heard the man's voice. She tightly shut her mouth and lowered her head.

"Oh, your fiancé is playing the hero, how domineering, how powerful, how stylish!" Yu Huan's cool voice revealed a hint of schadenfreude, completely ignoring Leng Yichen's murderous expression.

"You're talking nonsense!" Su Nuannuan, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly became agitated, her voice choked with sobs, and the bright red handprint on her face stung Leng Yichen's eyes.

He roared, "Who did this!"

Su Nuannuan covered her face and turned her head away, looking like she didn't want to say anything more.

No one answered him. Leng Yichen's angry eyes lingered on Yu Huan for a moment before shifting to Yi Qingyue.

His eyes were full of disgust. "Are you still the Yi Qingyue I know? Just because I embarrassed you today, you want to take revenge on her? Yi Qingyue, you are really disgusting right now."

Yi Qingyue looked at him in disbelief. He accused her without even knowing the facts. Was this still the Leng Yichen she knew?

"Leng Yichen, today's banquet has taken a lot of effort from both families. I hope you will be careful with your words and actions!"

Yi Qingyue's disappointed look was so obvious that Leng Yichen's lips were almost pressed into a straight line.

"Apologize."

"You talk nonsense, I'll teach you a damn thing!"

Zuo You slid to Yi Qingyue's side, gently squeezed her cold fingertips, and gave her a reassuring smile: "Qingyue, you don't need logic when talking to a dog."

Leng Yichen's anger flared up, his cold gaze seemingly nailing Zuo You to his side. "It's you again. Don't force me to take action this time."

Zuo You twirled her little hands in front of her chest, her feet turned slightly inward, and said, "Leng Yichen, I'm sorry, I know you like me, but please don't keep staring at me. I'm a girl, it scares me, sob sob~"

And you shouldn't touch her inappropriately anymore; she's a respectable person..."

For a moment, the onlookers seemed to have gained a sense of self and became full of vitality, with each person's expression being quite interesting.

Leng Yichen's face turned ashen. "Nonsense! Where are the bodyguards? Throw her out right now!"

Startled, Zuo You trembled and hid behind Yi Qingyue, wiping away tears. "Waaah~ Qingyue is so fierce and scary, I'm so scared~"

Yi Qingyue's chest heaved as she shielded Zuo You behind her. It seemed Yu Huan was right; she shouldn't have any more hope for Leng Yichen.

In a corner booth, Wei Ci gently swirled his wine glass, watching Zuo You's exaggerated performance and suppressing the corners of his mouth.

Unexpectedly, she actually kept her word and went to sow discord between the two main characters at the banquet.

"It's quite interesting, isn't it?" Zhao Xibu poured him some more wine, his tone gentle. "I know that girl; she's quite clever."

Wei Ci looked away and turned to his friend.

"You let her go?"

Zhao Xibu smiled and shook his head, "I can't let it go. That girl came to me a few days ago and gave me some information about her. I'm going to the US tomorrow, and I won't come back if I can't find her."

This was the first time Wei Ci had seen Zhao Xibu smile so contentedly since that incident, and he was genuinely happy for him.

"Alright, stop with that worthless smile. You can borrow my newly bought plane; I need to sit at the head table at the wedding."

Wei Ci nodded, and the two smiled at each other and clinked glasses.

Turning our attention back to the center of the banquet, the moment Leng Yichen raised his hand, Zuo You collapsed to the ground, kowtowing twice to Leng Yichen before anyone could react, bursting into tears.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have said those things, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

I'll sew my mouth shut right now. No, I shouldn't have had this mouth in the first place. Why did I have to have a mouth like this?

I deserve to die! A poor person like me here must be bothering you to breathe. I am truly wicked, guilty of heinous crimes, deserving of death a thousand times over, with countless sins, inescapable and unforgivable!

I shouldn't have revealed that you cheated on me with your fiancée, waaaaaah...
