Chapter 390: Chapter 390

Shen Jian妮 was also wide-eyed and displeased.

After all, she almost made herself sick by lying and saying He Qimo loved her.

Seeing this jerk who slept with her and messed things up so badly that even her mother wouldn’t recognize her, not only isn’t protecting her from this crazy woman but has the nerve to laugh?

Shen Jian妮 was so angry she almost went up to slap He Qimo.

Then said, "What are you laughing at? What’s so funny? Did I issue you the certificate allowing you to laugh?"

However, before her imagination could unfold.

Zhou Xiao, who regained her composure first, glanced at her with fierce eyes and angrily reached for her.

Shen Jian妮 saw it, her eyes narrowed as she quickly dodged.

Seeing she couldn’t catch Shen Jian妮, Zhou Xiao got even more infuriated and reached out again.

For a moment, the heated cat-and-mouse chase unfolded, lacking any lady-like manner, at the venue.

Zhou Xiao was always arrogant and flashy, even in high school she led a group of girls in fights, her actions extremely swift.

But Shen Jian妮 was no less determined, especially having long faced paparazzi, fans, and all kinds of photo shoots that required her to practice evasion skills, her moves were more sophisticated than DotA and LOL masters would bow and call her daddy.

Shen Jian妮 was as slippery as an eel, intentionally circling around the round table.

With crimson eyes, Zhou Xiao angrily shouted, "Shen Jian妮! Stand still for me!" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel~fire~net

"Stand still? Do you think I’m an idiot?" Shen Jian妮 sneered, curling her lips, and added, "Moreover, you said you’d ensure my personal safety earlier, have you forgotten?"

Understanding Shen Jian妮 had seriously messed with her, Zhou Xiao got angrier, with blood rising from her chest to her throat, "How could there be such a shameless woman like you in this world!"

"I’m shameless? Hey~" Shen Jian妮 shrugged nonchalantly, "Just because I’ve got He Qimo and you haven’t, does it make me shameless?"

Zhou Xiao got even angrier, yelling, "You’re talking nonsense, changing the subject! When have I ever pursued He Qimo, I don’t even like him!"

"If you don’t like him, then why are you so eagerly begging him to sleep with you? It’s known he won’t sleep with you." Shen Jian妮 exclaimed in astonishment, "Miss Zhou, you can’t be this disgraceful, right? You’re still young and have plenty of youth to waste, Mr. He can still control himself, but you can’t be without dignity and self-respect!"

Instantly, Zhou Xiao’s face turned from pink to enraged red.

The surrounding chairmen and others wiped their foreheads with sweat and discreetly glanced at their wives or female companions, silently advising.

’In the future, avoid Mr. He’s new wife. Don’t ever offend her!’

The wives or female companions also looked at Shen Jian妮 in shock, nodding subtly, giving their chairman a meaningful look in response, ’Don’t worry, I’ll definitely avoid her, walk around her when I see her, agree with everything she says, bow when speaking, never talk back.’

For a moment, the scene was chaotic and comical, which was too rare for such a traditionally elegant and refined gathering.

He Qimo couldn’t help but shake his shoulders, laughing even more.

Even Feng Chengjin and Yu Yuanshen were stunned and twitched their lips in surprise.

Over there, the chaos intensified as Zhou Xiao desperately threw knives and forks and other items from the table because she couldn’t catch Shen Jian妮.

Shen Jian妮 ducked in fear, dodging the "Zhou’s" flying knives every time.

Given Zhou Xiao’s precision and the murderous aura, she was seriously wondering if this was a lawful society!

Moreover, did Xiao Liu buy her accidental personal insurance? Should something happen, would the payout be significant?

Shen Jian妮 muttered inwardly.

Pausing, waiting until Zhou Xiao furiously threw the Nth knife and fork.

Shen Jian妮 couldn’t help it anymore, seeing He Qimo laughing, she got even angrier.

When Zhou Xiao was about to throw another glass, Shen Jian妮 immediately hid behind He Qimo, grabbed his sleeve, and shouted.

"He Qimo, are you going to do something about this? If not, she’ll kill me! If she does, you won’t have a little wife anymore!"

Shen Jian妮 wanted to shift Zhou Xiao’s attention and also let He Qimo experience what it’s like to be chased.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing her, He Qimo, at the moment Zhou Xiao charged over, whether he heard her clearly or not, narrowed his cold eyes, instantly stood up straight, and pulled her skillfully behind him.

At the same time, in a flash, He Qimo’s other hand firmly grabbed Zhou Xiao’s wrist in the air.

The three of them were all slightly stunned.

Shen Jian妮 hadn’t expected He Qimo to truly protect her, feeling his sturdy back, sensing his slender fingers gripping her waist and locking her behind.

Shen Jian妮 lay against his back, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

He Qimo didn’t expect himself to act , especially when looking at Zhou Xiao’s face, thinking that he had never stood up for Gu Zixuan before.

His heart felt a strange tremor, as if something about himself seemed out of place.

This forced his fingertips to loosen slightly.

Zhou Xiao was completely heartbroken, especially seeing He Qimo, who had repeatedly rejected her for Gu Zixuan, now defending Shen Jian妮, even going as far as physically protecting her!

If this glass landed on him, he would still protect her, bloodied head and all!

In an instant, Zhou Xiao’s eyes reddened, speaking with a choking voice, trembling, "You’re blocking me? You’re blocking me for a woman like her?"

This single sentence instantly made everyone feel an unusual emotion.

Not to mention Zhou Xiao’s slightly trembling form, unable to believe what’s happening.

In astonishment, it was clear that Zhou Xiao was unable to compete with Shen Jian妮 over love, causing the scene, and trying to drag Miss Gu into the mess. Shen Jian妮’s words were entirely true!

Thinking about how both families had peacefully divorced, each finding people they liked, reached consensus, became friends, thus helping each other, but this mess was caused by someone who wanted to create scandal between the two wealthy families, leading to this public spectacle?

Everyone around was gasping.

He Qimo faced Zhou Xiao with a furrowed brow, unsure how to refute, simply disliking being the focus, saying, "Zhou Xiao, does this make sense? You’re a lady of stature, your father is a district director, do you really not care about the situation? Creating a scene for everyone to see your embarrassment?"

In a moment, Zhou Xiao lowered her lashes and slowly looked around.

Around her, there were mocking, disdainful, shocked expressions, but mostly there was disgust...

That kind of... revealing everything, disgusted with her causing trouble.

Interrupting a charity dinner, not considering the occasion disgusted them.

Even worse, behavior unbecoming of a woman from a noble background, speaking nonsense was bad enough, but acting violently in a fit of rage bred personal disgust...

In an instant, despair, heart chilled, Zhou Xiao couldn’t describe the mixed feelings in her heart.

Just as the tall wine glass slipped from her fingers, falling into the thick carpet.

She withdrew her wrist, calmly nodded at Bai Qifan, saying, "Cousin, let’s go."

Bai Qifan truly couldn’t react for a while to the sudden change of the scene, hearing her words, furrowed his brows furiously, "Leave just like that?"

"What else can we do? This is, after all, a public event, we’ve already taken up too much of everyone’s time." Zhou Xiao took a deep breath and swallowed all the redness in her eyes, saying.

Bai Qifan hesitated slightly.

Until Zhou Xiao cried out more furiously, "Leave!"

Only then did Bai Qifan furrow his brows tightly and stand up from his seat.

This time, he no longer thought of confronting Gu Zixuan, as Gu Zixuan remained composed and kind throughout, unwilling to embarrass anyone, and didn’t want the people around her to feel helpless, regardless of what caused the situation; if Gu Zixuan wasn’t the true instigator, he couldn’t help but like her elegant and gentle yet dignified demeanor.

But as for Shen Jian妮...

As Bai Qifan passed, he didn’t know how to describe the malevolent feeling he harbored.

He glared at her harshly.

He left with a cold snort.

The siblings slowly moved on, the entire venue watched them leave.

Finally, the chaotic scene fell quiet.

Perhaps everyone wanted to say something, but since Zhou Xiao hadn’t left, no one felt it appropriate to speak.

The district director’s daughter, the courtesies must still be observed.

But life is often dramatic, isn’t it?

Even when they’re willing to give face, some are unwilling.

Especially Shen Jian妮, known for stirring up drama wherever she appears, her ardent fans can cause great disturbances, what couldn’t they do?

And so, just as Zhou Xiao and Bai Qifan were climbing the stairs to exit the entrance.

Suddenly, Shen Jian妮 remembered something, calling out, "Mr. Bai!"

The crisp shout made everyone collectively shocked and turn to look.

The second sentence Shen Jian妮 spoke made Bai Qifan rage on the spot.

"You said earlier as long as I told the truth, you would find a way to lift me up, restore my reputation through Beijing’s media? Is that true?"
