A pampered young lady from a prestigious family, pampered by her childhood sweetheart, a CEO.

The entire room was eerily silent, and all eyes were on Xu Shuli.

Thinking of what they had said in the car, Wu Lina took a few steps forward, her red lips curving into a mocking smile. "Miss Xu, you are the benchmark of our socialite circle. One is your childhood sweetheart, and the other is your ex-fiancé. How will you choose?"

Wu Hai, who was watching the show, suddenly heard his daughter's voice and broke out in a cold sweat. What was Wu Lina doing? Did she want to kill the entire Wu family?

Wu Hai scanned the crowd with his eyes, wanting to keep a close eye on everyone. If she said another word, would the Wu family still be able to stay in the capital?

Offending one of the five great families is equivalent to offending them all. And she still provoked Xu Shuli. Doesn't she know that Xu Shuli is the most favored one?

Wu Lina started the conversation, and the previously quiet scene became somewhat turbulent, with whispers coming from all directions.

"Ji Chen".

Xu Shuli was somewhat puzzled, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt. The crown on her head shone brightly, and her fair skin appeared even more like porcelain under the light. Her delicate features and aloof demeanor set her off. She stood there steadily and asked calmly, "Why do you think I'm a rabbit?"

"Ok?"

Ji Chen didn't understand the meaning behind her words, but he felt that her expression was probably softening. He seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "Shu Li, think about the breakfasts and cakes you brought me before, the gifts you gave me on every holiday. Shu Li, have you forgotten these three wonderful years?"

"CEO Luo is often away from home, so it's normal for you two to get to know each other better, after all, you've been friends since childhood, Shuli. But three years ago, you were the one who said I was your fiancé, and after three years, I've long since considered you my wife... I just didn't expect that as soon as CEO Luo returned, you would so hastily break off the engagement with me... But, Shuli, it's okay, I can pursue you again..."

Ji Chen's words were full of affection, expressing his love and cherish for her. However, upon Luo Yunqi's return, they broke off their engagement. What was the meaning behind this...?

Upon hearing this, Xu Shuli's expression became even stranger, and her odd and suspicious gaze made Ji Chen feel uneasy.

Ji Chen's words thoroughly enraged Luo Yunqi. He pursed his lips, a storm brewing in his eyes. He had already thought of countless ways to fight, but the bandage on his hand meant nothing to him.

"This guy's a bit reckless. Does he think we're all idiots? Has he already forgotten what happened on the playground that day? He's so open and honest about spouting this nonsense?"

Chen Li laughed. His words were rough but true. He had recently gone to the company to learn, and after staying there for a while, he had learned some unfamiliar language. With just one look from Wen Qing, he became well-behaved again.

"Ji Chen".

Xu Shuli didn't want to get too entangled, but this time he actually brought the matter out into the open. These were all celebrities and powerful people from all over the world. If they misunderstood anything, even a small matter could affect the foundation of his great enterprise.

Xu Shuli wouldn't allow such a situation to occur, especially since the hot-tempered person next to her was about to lose his temper, his clenched fist looking like he was about to punch her in the face at any moment.

"Shuli, I'm here."

Ji Chen thought that his words had won Xu Shuli's approval, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to take Xu Shuli's hand.

"Do you know why they call me Yaoyao, but you can only call me Shuli? Or even Miss Shuli?"

Xu Shuli's eyes were devoid of warmth, and her tone was flat. "Because we're not familiar with each other. We both know why you became my fiancé three years ago. I promised your Ji family a five million investment, and you just gained the title of fiancé of the Xu family's eldest daughter..."

"In fact, I've cooperated with you on many occasions over the past three years. In just three years, the Ji family has squeezed into the ranks of the four smaller families. Who do you think they relied on?"

The entire room fell silent; no one dared to interrupt. Even Ji Chen was stunned into place by her indifferent and cold gaze.

“I wanted to keep this veil in place, but you've torn it open time and time again.” Xu Shuli stared straight at him. “Do you think the Xu family is pushovers? Or do you think I, Xu Shuli, am easy to bully?”

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and those foreign companions who couldn't understand, with the help of the translator beside them, instinctively fell silent.

"No, Shuli... I am..."

Ji Chen was getting anxious. It seemed that the script wasn't going as he expected. Wu Lina, sitting in the audience, gritted her teeth and cursed him as a piece of trash. Just as she was about to do something, Wu Hai grabbed her hand tightly. He glared at Wu Lina with disappointment.

"You better behave yourself. If you dare cause any trouble, I'll break your legs when I get home."

Wu Lina didn't make a move; no matter what, she wouldn't dare to go against her father.

"What do you want to explain? Explain why you confessed your feelings to my roommate on the university's sports field? Or explain why we've only met a handful of times in the past three years? Explain why you told your friends that I begged you to get engaged? Or explain... everything you two were planning in the car just now..."

Xu Shuli's casual words stunned everyone. Like a thunderclap from a calm sky, her words sent a shiver down everyone's spine.

Ji Chen's face was completely drained of color. How did she know all this? Luo Yunqi was filled with self-blame. If it weren't for his escape back then, Xu Shuli wouldn't have been affected so much.

Chen Li, Lin Ran, and the others, who were initially watching with a detached, spectator's attitude, found themselves increasingly suspicious. Their little princess had suffered a great deal of injustice without their knowledge.

“Yaoyao…”

Wen Qing was furious. She had even wrinkled her dress. If it weren't for the fact that they were in public and in front of so many people, she would have wanted to slap Ji Chen to death.

"I never imagined that the young master of the Ji family would be like this..."

"I never would have guessed. If I were Miss Xu's fiancé, I'd be treating her like royalty..."

"This Miss Xu is beautiful and comes from a good family. Is Ji Chen blind?"

"Two-timing and still confessing to someone else's roommate? Does she even have a brain?"

"..."

The whispers reached the ears of those on stage without exception. Ji Chen's face stiffened inch by inch, then crumbled. "Shu Li, listen to me..."

"Okay, I'm listening. Go ahead."

Xu Shuli is not some innocent little rabbit. She is a girl who grew up in a wealthy family and was pampered and cared for since childhood. She received the best etiquette and education.

This also made her intelligent, reserved, gentle and virtuous, yet she was not an ordinary girl who was weak and helpless. She was the eldest daughter of the Xu family, and Xu Shuli, a socialite in the capital, whom everyone envied and tried to emulate.

"I..." All the words stuck in his throat. The draft he had prepared in advance was completely destroyed by Xu Shuli's few words. He didn't even dare to look Xu Shuli in the eye.

They were running away, hiding.

"Fang Ming!"

Luo Yunqi felt his blood surging. He kept his lips tightly closed, his lips slightly downturned, and his Adam's apple bobbed rapidly as he tried to suppress the rising anger.

"gentlemen."

"Take him away!"

"Yes, sir."
