Song Xiling was confident enough in Han Ruoling's strength, so his tone was somewhat arrogant.

"I haven't been back to Tanzhou for many years. I can't just make enemies on my way back to my hometown. After all, having more friends means having more options. So, if my Ruoling wins, I'll host a banquet in Tanzhou and invite everyone here today to attend. At that time, I would like to ask Miss Tang to sincerely apologize to everyone present."

It's true what they say, you learn from your mistakes.

The current Song Xiling speaks with a veiled edge.

Tang Li watched her with interest, not falling into her word trap, but instead pointing out the pitfall in her words and asking in return:

"So, in Miss Song's mind, tonight's incident was an act of me fighting against a large number of people and outnumbering them, which resulted in harming everyone present?"

They want to frame her!

It's not that easy.

We will not admit to any false accusations!

Song Xi raised an eyebrow: "Miss Tang, don't you think you've gone a bit too far tonight?"

Am I being unreasonable?

Tang Li chuckled to himself.

Then his gaze fell on Han Ruoling:

"Miss Han thinks so too?"

What a formidable opponent!

Han Ruoling had been observing Tang Li and found that even when surrounded by a crowd, she was not afraid at all, and neither her appearance nor her emotions showed any panic.

She's very steady!

She always stood on her own ground, and even though she was a bit arrogant, ultimately it was others who gave her the reason to act so domineeringly.

Having been handed a hot potato, Han Ruoling calmly tossed it to the men watching the spectacle:

"I arrived late and am unaware of the full picture, so I will refrain from commenting. However, women caught in disputes often lack the clarity of an observer's perspective. Tonight, let the gentlemen present decide who is right and who is wrong."

To provide an assessment.

Han Ruoling's brilliance lies in not naming names specifically.

After all, most of the people here are unfamiliar faces, and she can't tell who is friend and who is foe. If she were to directly ask the two Song brothers, they would definitely protect Tang Li.

Now that all men have a voice, and with such a large number of women behind them, their families will definitely protect their own.

In this way, even if Song Beiye and Song Nanzhou wanted to protect Tang Li, they would probably find it difficult to convince the public.

That's a true master.

Tang Li initially looked down on the people Song Xiling had brought, after all, birds of a feather flock together.

Now it seems that Han Ruoling is far more capable than Song Xiling.

The men who had gained the right to speak immediately began whispering among themselves. No one wanted to be the first to speak, since Tang Li, though alone, was enough to rival the women present.

Offending one family or several families is not what they want.

Since Song Nanzhou couldn't see it anyway, he simply didn't participate.

As for Song Beiye, he sat with his arms crossed, waiting to see what would happen, and wouldn't speak unless absolutely necessary.

After much discussion, no one dared to step forward and offer a judgment.

Just as Song Xiling was preparing to launch another attack, a voice suddenly rang out:

"What? Do you really think that because my Yunxi's sisters have no outside help, you can bully her so recklessly?"

After accompanying Gu Ming to finish his business, Yunxi did not step forward immediately. Instead, she first sought out acquaintances who were not involved to understand the situation. After she had a clear understanding of the general outline, she then approached Tang Li.

Wang Ning snorted coldly:

"You say we bullied her? That's hilarious. Look at me, and then look at Qinghao. The slap marks on our faces are still clearly visible. Tell me, who bullied whom?"

Lin Qinghao revealed her face:

"It seems Miss Han is truly insightful; women are blind and cannot see clearly."

Yunxi chuckled:

"Miss Lin, if you look down on women so much, you might as well reincarnate as a man."

This is similar to what Tang Li said before: "You can go die first."

They truly are best friends; they always speak with perfect understanding.

But Wang Ning and her group insisted on making a big deal out of nothing and did not approve of Yunxi taking sides.

"It seems that Miss Lin's eyes have become clouded by this mundane world for too long, so she thinks that all women in the world are as blind as you. Well then, there's no point in arguing with the wise. Let me just say something fair: I stand by Miss Tang's side regarding everything that happened tonight."

Gu Ming was the first man to publicly take sides.

But Wang Ning disagrees:

"What President Gu said was somewhat unfair. Can it really be considered fair?"

Gu Ming pushed the wheelchair to Wang Ning:

"Miss Wang wants justice? Then let me have a word with you. As a woman, Miss Wang has belittled women. This is enough to make all women who have awakened their minds despise you. As for the matter itself, Miss Tang has no grudge against you. It's one thing for you to gossip behind her back, but if Miss Tang hadn't happened to pass by tonight and overheard you slandering her, with your arrogant and domineering attitude, you would have found her and criticized her even if she hid in the ends of the earth."

"And Miss Lin, I don't know if you have a personal grudge or an old grudge against Miss Tang, but you deliberately stirred up trouble and you still have the nerve to say that women are blind."

Gu Ming looked at everyone:

"And everyone, since you have chosen to attend this banquet, you represent not only your own image, but also the reputation of your husbands, brothers, and fathers. If you want justice and an apology from Miss Tang, that's fine too. Now, repeat what you just said in front of everyone. As long as your family members think you are in the right, not only Miss Tang, but also I, Gu Ming, will not hesitate to apologize to you all."

After Gu Ming finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

He looked around and asked loudly:

"Who among you dares to be the first to stand up and demand justice?"

No one dared to answer!

Those words are fine to say in private, but to make such a big fuss about them, not a single word is worthy of serious consideration.

After waiting for a long time, Gu Ming's lips curled into a slight smile:

"Since none of you think Tang Li is in the wrong and is bullying people, then Miss Song's claim that she wants to hold a banquet to make Miss Tang apologize in public is completely unfounded."

Gu Ming smiled and said to Song Xiling:

"Miss Song, please suggest a different punishment."

That felt so good!

happy!

Yunxi gave Gu Ming a thumbs up!

Wang Ning and the others were left looking at each other in bewilderment. Was this all going to be left like this? Would they have to swallow their anger and humiliation without consequence?

Moreover, they are currently weak, and what they are losing is not just their reputation.

And the dignity of those men who fight their way through the business world.

Song Xiling felt extremely aggrieved. She had originally wanted to take this opportunity to nail Tang Li to the pillar of shame, but she did not expect Gu Ming to make such a move to appeal for justice, which prevented them, who were already in the wrong, from advancing an inch.

The situation was delicate, and Song Xiling raised his hand to touch Han Ruoling.

Han Ruoling understood and smiled:

"I have a brilliant idea, please listen to it."

As soon as she said that, everyone turned to look at her.
