She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

Fang Li listened quietly, and after a moment, she finally turned to look at Jiang Shiyi.

His indifferent face was full of sarcasm, and his icy demeanor was chilling.

"As a woman myself, I truly feel sorry for you. Jiang Shiyi, I really wonder if the only path in your value system is clinging to men? You keep accusing others of being gold diggers and mistresses, but aren't you the one who is like that? A brainless pretty face who made her way in the industry by being a simp has the nerve to criticize others?!"

Jiang Shiyi's face turned pale and then red in an instant.

As if her sore spot had been touched, she gritted her teeth and blushed.

"You... Xu Fangli, you! Who are you calling a simp!"

"Who should be criticizing whom? I'm really curious, what benefits did Yu Wei give you that made you go to such lengths to help her? Look at you, you have no air of a female star at all, you're just like a clown, yet you're oblivious to it all, smugly pleased with yourself, jumping around like a clown!"

"Hey! You, stop trying to sow discord! Sister Wei is better than you in every way, and your anger won't help! Let me tell you, Sister Wei donated an emerald necklace worth over three million tonight, and Brother Chen promised to help her win it back. You're just a cheap woman who crashed the party, what right do you have to look down on me!"

Fang Li curled her lips, too lazy to pay attention to her.

More than three million...that's really extravagant.

It seems that Song Yuchen has indeed made a lot of money in the past few years. Back when he was in college, he couldn't even afford a pair of sneakers that cost 3,000 yuan, but now he dares to boast about things worth more than 3 million yuan.

No, maybe he was rich from the start, but just pretended to be poor in front of her.

But she was the only one who foolishly believed it and went to great lengths to earn money to buy it for him.

Looking back now, it's really laughable.

Provoked by Xu Fangli's cold and disdainful gaze, Jiang Shiyi looked around and saw the hostess and registrar preparing to leave. She actually raised her foot and stopped them.

"Since it's a charity gala, everyone who attends should donate. Why is this woman an exception?"

She pointed at Fang Li, filled with righteous indignation.

Someone whispered in the crowd, "Do you think that pagoda is real?"

"Judging from that gentleman's demeanor, it should be true."

"Then the studio representative could donate one item, after all, this is an antique, its value is immeasurable, and it might be worth ten times as much."

Some people disagreed, saying, "What do you mean by 'one person equals ten'? Whoever donated, donated. Tonight's main focus is charity. Donating more or less is a token of goodwill, but not donating would really be unreasonable."

"But the organizers said that everything was voluntary, and besides, they have already donated, represented by their studios. To force them to do so would go against the original purpose of the banquet."

"Tch, what's with all this talk about initial intentions? It's obvious this is your first time attending a banquet like this. These charity galas that claim to be voluntary donations aren't actually voluntary at all. The organizers don't say it outright, but everyone at the banquet knows it. After all, if it's related to charity, nobody will pass up this great opportunity to impress the capital and the media. This woman, tsk tsk tsk..."

A few light clicks of the tongue instantly boosted Jiang Shiyi's confidence!

"Xu Fangli, it's understandable for others to donate something in the name of their studio, but you stole the show from the very beginning tonight. Look at you now... you're radiant from head to toe. You wouldn't be so stingy as to donate something so small, would you?"

Those who had been amazed by Fang Li before now had strange looks in their eyes, seemingly with some doubt and a hint of disdain, as if they had begun to believe that Fang Li was the kind of vain, selfish, and petty woman.

No matter how beautiful a woman is on the outside, if she doesn't have a kind heart, her image will be greatly diminished in people's hearts.

Jiang Shiyi looked at the silent Fang Li, her smugness growing even stronger.

She glanced at her from head to toe, then her gaze fell on Fang Li's left ring finger.

A heart-shaped pigeon egg, estimated to be over ten carats, has a dazzling sheen that makes countless women swoon.

A fleeting moment of jealousy crossed Jiang Shiyi's mind, but it quickly turned into suspicion.

Although Sister Wei said that Fang Li had now hooked up with a rich man, she still didn't believe it. How could someone be willing to give her such a big diamond ring when she was a forgotten celebrity who had retired from the entertainment industry?

Those wealthy people are rich, but they're not stupid.

A woman like Fang Li is clearly promiscuous; it's easy to spend money on her...

At this moment, Jiang Shiyi was almost certain that the diamond ring on Fang Li's hand was fake!

Since it's fake...

"This one will do!" Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Jiang Shiyi suddenly approached Fang Li, grabbed her left hand, and snatched the diamond ring off her finger.

Fang Li realized it was too late.

He pulled his hand back forcefully, and his ring finger was gone, leaving only a red scratch mark.

Zhou Yufan's expression was icy. "What's wrong with you, woman?! How dare you steal other people's things!"

Zhou Yufan had been abroad for many years and had only recently returned to China. In such a public setting, he tried to be as subtle as possible in his words. Otherwise, given his naturally sharp tongue, how could he possibly make such a lukewarm criticism of a woman like Jiang Shiyi?

He glared at Jiang Shiyi, then turned to Fang Li: "How are you?"

"I'm fine," Fang Li shook her head.

He looked at Jiang Shiyi with a detached expression, his gaze fixed on her, cold and devoid of any warmth, which made Jiang Shiyi inexplicably feel a chill in her heart.

The next moment, Fang Li suddenly chuckled softly.

She raised her hand, her red lips parted slightly: "Give me back the ring."

Jiang Shiyi subconsciously tightened her grip, raising her chin haughtily: "Since you're reluctant, I don't mind helping you make the decision, here you go."

Ignoring Fang Li's gaze, she placed the diamond ring directly into the tray and said to the registrar, "Donated by Ms. Xu Fang Li, a diamond ring!"

"..."

Fang Li wasn't the only one speechless.

Zhou Yufan's good temper, which he had been trying so hard to suppress, was about to collapse. Could someone tell him if Nuwa forgot to install brains in some people when she created humans? Otherwise, how could such a strange woman appear in this wonderful world!

The administrator looked at Jiang Shiyi and then at Fang Li, unsure of how to respond.

Fang Li looked at Jiang Shiyi's smug expression and slowly lowered her raised hand. It would be awkward to pull it back now that things had come to this.

In that case, it won't just be her who loses face; her studio will likely be affected as well.

Fang Li remained silent, but Zhou Yufan beside her couldn't help but speak up.

"Sorry, we won't donate this ring." He said, reaching out to take the item back, but Fang Li grabbed his hand as soon as he raised it.

"Never mind, let's leave it at that for now, we can take the pictures later."

"Can.......!"

Fang Li glanced at Jiang Shiyi and said with a smile, "Don't worry, no one can take my things away. If I want them, even if they take them, I have plenty of ways to get them back."
