"three!"

As the final warning ended, Gu Qingqing's lips curled into a cold and cruel smile, but she remained motionless.

The plastic surgery monster suddenly felt a sense of fear and took a step back, but it was too late. The people nearby only heard a scream.

"Ouch! It hurts! Help me—"

"My hand hurts so much—"

"She did it! She's a devil!"

The plastic surgery monster lay on the ground, rolling around in pain while clutching his perfectly intact right hand.

Seeing the horrific state of the plastic surgery monster, Gu Qingqing's anger subsided considerably. Even though she was surrounded by onlookers, she didn't care.

"What's wrong? Qingqing, is someone bullying you?" Seeing Gu Qingqing arguing with someone, Zhai Wan'er quickly ran over to help.

"Yeah, someone's cursing me. It's this plastic surgery freak who's trying to scam me. She just collapsed on the ground for no reason, and then she covered her hand and said I was bullying her." Gu Qingqing pouted and looked back at Zhai Wan'er with teary eyes.

Won't she be very angry and hate me for ruining her birthday party like this?

"Huh? Hahaha—" Zhai Wan'er couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard the words "plastic surgery monster".

Gu Qingqing's words are really hilarious. Just as Dong Shu said, she is indeed a very interesting person.

"Wan'er, I'm sorry, I don't know what happened. This plastic surgery monster came over and started calling me a little bitch and a vixen. I... Waaah..." Gu Qingqing covered her eyes and cried.

Upon hearing her words, Zhai Wan'er gritted her teeth in anger: "Don't be afraid, I'll avenge you."

She never expected that there would actually be someone so blind as to bully Gu Qingqing. She never thought she'd see anything like it.

"Qingqing, are you alright?" Hearing her cries, Gu Jin, who was discussing business nearby, finally noticed that something was wrong with her. He rushed over and pulled her into his arms to comfort her.

Who exactly bullied her?

He would never let that person live to see tomorrow's sun, absolutely not!

Nobody can bully her!

"Big brother, someone is cursing me..." Gu Qingqing raised her head, revealing a pair of deer-like, wet eyes.

"Don't be afraid, your big brother will protect you." Gu Jin looked down at her pitiful appearance, his heart breaking.

Although he didn't yet understand what had happened, he believed his sister was kind and would never do anything to bully others.

Someone must be jealous of her and deliberately came to insult and bully her.

"Help! That little bitch is a devil, she messed up my hand!" Seeing that no one was helping her, the plastic surgery monster angrily covered her hand and got up.

But who would believe her? Her hand was perfectly fine; there was no blood or wound. And Gu Qingqing hadn't moved an inch. How could she have been hurt?

"Get her out! Never let this woman and her family into my Zhai family again. If anyone does this again, don't blame me for not giving you face." Zhai Wan'er made a phone call and summoned three or four security guards, who dragged the plastic surgery monster out and kicked her parents out of the Zhai family.

Because of her swift action, the matter was quickly resolved. Half of the guests at the scene were unaware of what had happened, yet Zhai Wan'er had already easily taken care of it.

Zhai Shaolin and Dong Shu were among those unaware that Gu Qingqing had been bullied. The banquet hall was very large, and the two of them happened to be in a quiet corner discussing business matters with two business partners. Their attention was focused on business, so they didn't hear the noise.

An Susu was also unaware of this incident. By the time she returned from the bathroom, the scene had returned to normal. Everyone continued chatting and laughing, or busy eating and talking to others. In any case, thanks to Zhai Wan'er's warning, no one discussed or mentioned Gu Qingqing being bullied anymore.

"Are you feeling better, Qingqing?" Gu Jin sat beside her, not daring to leave her side for a moment. He was afraid that she would be bullied by some ignorant people again. Only by guarding and protecting her could he believe that she was safe.

"Big brother, I'm fine now, don't worry about me. Go do whatever you need to do! I just need something to eat." Gu Qingqing said this carefree, not realizing she had said anything wrong.

It's obvious that Gu Jin and the others underestimated her. Does she look like the kind of person who would be bullied?

In this world, she's the only one who can bully others; no one can bully her.

Gu Qingqing ate a small cake, with a little bit of white cream on her lips.

"Your mouth is the dirtiest." She still loves sweets as much as ever, especially cake, which she can't wait to pounce on.

Gu Jin took a tissue and wiped her mouth gently, each wipe being light, as if afraid of hurting her.

Her current appearance is slowly overlapping with the little crybaby in his memory. Whenever she is unhappy, she wants to eat cake and sweets, and as long as she has these, she will show a satisfied and happy smile.

Time flies.

He watched her grow up day by day, from a chubby little girl to a beautiful, tall, and radiant young woman.

The little girl who was only seven or eight years old back then has now grown up into an adult.

"Thank you, big brother. Have a bite too." Gu Qingqing took the cream cake she had only taken a bite of and fed it to him, knowing he didn't like cake, but she was just teasing him on purpose.

"Thank you." Gu Jin opened his mouth and took a bite. Even though he didn't like cake, he still took a bite because it was her gesture of kindness.

"Big brother." She hadn't expected him to actually eat it, or that she had already taken a bite of it?

Hmph! Now that he's eaten her saliva, he'll have to listen to her from now on.

"Qingqing, I'm back." An Susu returned to her seat, and Gu Jinyuan left.

"Sister Susu, why did you take so long? It's been almost twenty minutes. I was worried something might have happened to you, and I was about to go look for you." Gu Qingqing said this on purpose, just to make An Susu unhappy.

Seeing An Susu's gloomy face, she knew that her plan to get close to Zhai Shaolin had failed.

In fact, she had long realized that An Susu was using the excuse of going to the restroom to actually go see Zhai Shaolin.

Unfortunately, An Susu still didn't have the chance to get close to Zhai Shaolin. She hid in a corner to spy on him, but was discovered by Duan Jinxun who happened to be passing by.

The two got into an argument and almost came to blows.

Afraid of being discovered, she confessed to him that she liked Zhai Shaolin. Although she received his disdain, she managed to avoid the situation.

He knew that Zhai Shaolin was spied on by girls far too often, several times a day, and he had gotten used to it.

Therefore, when Duan Jinxun encountered An Susu, who was an admirer, pursuer, stalker, and voyeur, he quickly accepted her persona.

Who could blame him when his good buddy was so outstanding—from a good family, and good-looking? Countless girls liked Zhai Shaolin, all of them wanted to be his girlfriend, and many even begged to have a one-night stand with him.

"My stomach wasn't feeling well, so I was gone a little longer. Don't worry." An Susu gave a forced smile, thinking her explanation was perfect, and then sat down to drink her beverage and eat.

She continued to think about how to get closer to Zhai Shaolin, even if it was just to let him know her name, it would be a kind of progress and prove that her efforts were worthwhile.
