Chapter 21 You Alone Are Not Qualified

Feng Manman was so angry she laughed.

Selfish and domineering—that's how he saw her all these years.

Then she might as well just be unreasonable to the end.

Feng Manman's smile remained unchanged as she tilted her head to look at Duan Xi'er, who was being protected behind Duan Yu. "You promised to drink it all, are you still drinking or not?"

"Feng Man..."

She completely ignored Duan Yu, who was blushing, and instead became even more aggressive in her words.

“If you don’t finish your drink, I will continue to slander and spread rumors about your good brother, and as long as I’m alive, I will not let him have an easy time in the capital.”

Duan Yu clenched his fist. "Feng Manman, that's enough!"

Duan Xi'er immediately stepped forward, selflessly declaring, "I'll drink, I'll drink. I'll even let you die if you want to spare my brother."

Duan Xi'er stepped forward to take a sip of wine, but it was snatched away by Shen Jingsi, who suddenly appeared.

He had no expression, one hand in his pocket, and casually tossed the bottle on the ground.

He casually picked up a tissue, wiped the wine stains off his hands, sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, casually placed his hands on the sofa, and looked down at the sofa.

"Have they all gone mad?"

Shen Jingsi's sudden appearance excited the people watching the show outside.

Just now, Duan Xi'er was at a disadvantage against Feng Manman.

But with the arrival of this Shen Jingsi, they began to worry for Miss Feng.

"It's over, it's over. This time, the Rose of the Capital has really messed with the lifeblood of the Overlord of the Capital."

"Everyone knows that Duan Xi'er has been Shen Jingsi's darling all these years, and he takes her everywhere he goes. Even Lu Zhenyu in the past might not have received such treatment."

"Although I sympathize with Feng Manman about what happened back then—anyone would hate her if their hard-won love was ruined by their boyfriend's sister in no time—Duan Xi'er's backer is Shen Jingsi now!"

Who is Shen Jingsi? Everyone in the capital knows him. This guy is always fearless.

Back then, the patriarch of the Zheng family was at the height of his political power, and those in power had to give him some face.

This man dared to nearly beat to death the grandson whom Old Master Zheng doted on so much, all for the sake of a woman.

"I heard that if the Zheng family hadn't discovered it quickly, Shen Jingsi might have really beaten him to death."

"The most terrifying thing is that he didn't use any tools, he just used his fists to break Zheng Yaozong's five ribs."

At this point, everyone fell silent, their faces showing sympathy for Feng Manman's impending fate, as they looked towards the private room.

Upon seeing Shen Jingsi, Duan Xi'er's eyes reddened, and she felt wronged. Tears streamed down her face, making her look pitiful, as if she had suffered all kinds of humiliation and injustice.

Shen Jing chuckled, his tone ambiguous between serious and unserious. "Besides crying, what else can you do? You dare to break off our friendship?"

Tao Zhitao stepped forward to wipe away her best friend's tears, "Mr. Shen, please don't say anything to her. Xiao Xi did it for you and Mr. Duan. She doesn't want you to be blamed because of her."

With a mouth spitting out a mouth, Duan Xi'er could only bite her lip, lower her head, and shed tears.

Glancing at the person, Shen Jingsi slowly raised an eyebrow, "So noble, huh? You really think you're Su Daji?"

Tao Zhitao: "..."

Is it because she didn't have much contact with or know much about this young master?

No matter how you listen to it, you can't tell if it's a compliment or an insult.

Duan Xi'er, however, was used to it. She wiped away her tears, turned her back, and said, "Say whatever you want. I've heard worse things than this."

No matter what she said, looking at Feng Manman, Shen Jingsi suppressed his carefree smile. He appeared calm on the surface, but sighed inwardly.

Commander Feng's beloved only daughter, the most proud and unrestrained red rose in the capital, who dares to mess with this lady?

Shen Jingsi has never been afraid of the Feng family's power, but he is afraid of this aunt's sisters.

In the past, the "King of the Capital" and the "Rose of the Capital" would always fight and bicker whenever they met.

Without exception, Feng Manman was always the one who lost in the verbal battle, and before leaving, she pointed at Shen Jingsi's nose and left a message:

"You wait, I'm going to tell Zhenzhen right now that you bullied me and humiliated me!"

In the end, regardless of whether Shen Jingsi was right or wrong in the argument, Lu Zhenyu believed it was all his fault.

Cold war, ignoring people, blocking contact information.

In the end, it's always the "Beijing Overlord" who chickens out and takes the initiative to apologize to the "Rose of Beijing".

After taking a deep look at the steel rose containing 99.9% pearls, Shen Jingsi stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and walked over.

As the man approached, Feng Manman stared directly at him without flinching, her expression seeming to say, "What, you want to fight me for your good girl?"

Shen Jingsi, bending down and getting closer, raised an eyebrow and smirked, "Where is Lu Zhenyu?"

"..."

The voice was loud, deep and resonant, but Feng Manman pretended not to hear it at all.

I'll just ignore you.

She turned her back to him deliberately, her gaze bypassing the ever-cold Duan Yu and landing on Duan Xi'er.

She frowned impatiently, "Are you going to drink or not? If you're not going to drink, I'm going back to get my beauty sleep. I don't have time to play 'The Great Sacrifice' with you here."

Duan Xi'er's face darkened, and her fist, hidden in her sleeve, slowly clenched.

They've already set such a high bar, what's the point of suddenly backing down?

With so many people watching inside and outside the private room, and especially with Shen Jingsi and Duan Yu here, she had even more reason to drink.

"I'll drink it, as long as you keep your promise."

Seeing his sister being forced to drink again, Duan Yu felt a wave of humiliation wash over him, and anger surged within him.

Now, there's nothing left to hold onto; all that remains in Feng Manman's eyes is anger and disgust.

"Feng Manman, you've gone too far! How come I never noticed before that you were so vicious? Is it because you're a good actress, or have you changed?"

"I apologized back then and tried to win you back, but you wouldn't let go of those past issues. What more do you want from me? You're only satisfied when you've driven one or two people to their deaths? How could you..."

"Slap!" A slap, crisp yet melodious.

The moment Duan Yu's face was unexpectedly slapped and twisted, Lu Zhenyu appeared in everyone's sight.

The dignified heir of the Duan family, a deputy director of a ministry, was slapped in public, leaving onlookers stunned.

"What the heck! What did I just see? A personal assistant dared to slap the deputy director?"

"What assistant? Open your eyes and look carefully, that's Lu Zhenyu!"

"What?"

The surrounding people made another commotion, rubbing their eyes in disbelief as they looked back into the private room.

"Holy crap, it really is Lu Zhenyu! Didn't she go abroad with Zheng Yaozong? When did she come back?"

Lu Zhenyu's sudden appearance caused a commotion around her and also alerted the neighboring 401.

Just as Shen Jinchuan and Si Wei arrived at the door of 403, they saw Duan Xier rush to Lu Zhenyu.

"Sister Zhenzhen, what right do you have to hit my brother!"

"Smack!"

Another slap, this time to Duan Xi'er, delivered by Feng Manman.

She rushed forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lu Zhenyu, but her expression had already turned as cold as the bottom of a valley.

"Shut your stinking mouth! Do you really think I wouldn't dare hit you? I'll play along for a bit, but you're really pushing your luck."

"Feng Man..."

"Smack!"

She slapped Duan Yu across the face again, knocking off his glasses as Lu Zhenyu met his astonished gaze with a blank expression.

"Everyone in this world has the right to use these three words, except for you, Duan Yu."
