"That's about right." Su Yuan nodded, not wanting to discuss this kind of play-like stuff with Li Xi.

Li Xi wanted to ask more, but Lin Yuanyuan next to her suddenly raised her voice, but without any emotion, "Canaries can sit at the main table these days?" As soon as she said this, the table fell silent again.

Normally, Zhang Dezong, as the sponsor's male companion, was entitled to a seat, but not a name tag. However, Lin Yuanyuan wasn't arguing about the name tag; after all, it was provided by the organizers, and she had no problem with them. She simply wanted to embarrass Zhang Dezong.

Everyone present was well aware of Zhang Dezong and Lin Yuanyuan's relationship. Even Li Xi and Su Yuan, who might not have known the details (though they thought they were), were discerning people. Furthermore, one could only imagine how humiliating it would be for an older person to be publicly mocked by a younger person.

As expected, Zhang Dezong's face darkened instantly. Of course, Zhang Dezong's face had never been normal since he sat down. It was either blue, purple, or white. But this time, it turned black. This was probably because the person who was mocking him was his own daughter. This was the second time he was mocked.

"Lin Yuanyuan, I am your father. You will appear to be uneducated if you act like this." When Zhang Dezong said this, his eyes moved back and forth between Lin Yuanyuan and his first wife, as if to say, look at what a good daughter you have taught.

Ms. Lin rolled her eyes without caring about her image. "My daughter's father died a long time ago. Who are you? Don't try to claim to be related to me."

"You!" Zhang Dezong was furious, but he could do nothing, could say nothing. Just as he was on the verge of losing control, his current sponsor glanced at him expressionlessly. That single glance calmed Zhang Dezong down. There was no other way; his current sponsor was his best option. Losing her protection would mean more than just lack of food and clothing; he could even face retaliation from other women.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dezong glared at Lin Yuanyuan fiercely, gritting his teeth and saying, "A good man doesn't fight with a woman."

"Puff~" Li Xi, who was drinking water, spat out a mouthful of water. Fortunately, the food had not been served yet. She reacted quickly and lowered her head immediately, so only she and Su Yuan were affected.

Su Yuan was watching with great interest, but was completely stunned by Li Xi's spray. He wasn't a germaphobe, but being sprayed with water in public was not a very pleasant experience. Looking at the culprit, she was coughing non-stop, and her skirt was soaked. Her image was much worse than his own, and her condition was much worse than his own. Sympathy overcame his condescending attitude. Su Yuan patted Li Xi's back resignedly, muttering, "It's a big loss to make a deal with you. I didn't get any benefits, and I got myself into trouble. Ugh~"

Li Xi slapped Su Yuan's hand away, coughed forcefully a few times, and then spoke weakly, "Pretentious."

Su Yuan: “…” You’re so pretentious, sir.

The clash between these two men had no effect on the others engaged in the Shura Field. After all, compared to the others, they were just strangers. Although Su Yuan held a respectable position in the industry, his main business was in the entertainment industry. The others had no real connection to him. Even if they wanted to climb the Su family ladder, they wouldn't have any chance against these people, and they wouldn't be able to follow Su Yuan's path.

When Li Xi choked and coughed, they exchanged glances before immediately turning back to the person involved. Zhang Dezong fell silent, lowered his head, and silently sipped his tea. But Lin Yuanyuan clearly didn't want to let him go, so she sneered, resting her chin on her hand, her tone drawn out and lazy.

"Typically, only men who are too weak to win an argument with a woman would resort to saying things like 'A good man doesn't fight a woman.'" Lin Yuanyuan changed her tone with the last few words, pinching her throat again, her voice sarcastic. "Besides, you're a middle-aged man, and I'm a teenager. How can you have the nerve to say 'A good man doesn't fight a woman?' Oh, right!" At this point, Lin Yuanyuan suddenly thought of something, lowered her hand, and gently tapped the table, glancing up and down at Zhang Dezong again. "You don't look middle-aged or elderly right now, and you don't look like a man either. Hahahaha..."

Li Xi: "..." I only knew you were a fierce man, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious. Turning around, she looked at Su Yuan. Wow, his eyes were shining.

Lin Yuanyuan's words were blunt, but Zhang Dezong remained silent with his head down. It was unclear whether he didn't care or was worried about his current sponsor getting angry. This put an end to Lin Yuanyuan's monologue. After a few more sarcastic remarks, she pulled her mother aside to chat.

Li Xi looked at the other ex-wives again. They all glanced at Zhang Dezong intentionally or unintentionally, but for some reason, none of them spoke. After exchanging glances for a while, they pulled the people next to them to start a conversation.

The Shura scene had temporarily subsided, and Li Xi finally had the mind to assess her own condition. She had taken off her coat when entering the banquet hall, and now she was only wearing a small skirt. Although she ducked in time when the spray started, the water had spread out quite a bit, soaking a large area of ​​her skirt near her thighs, and even soaking a spot of her leggings underneath (Li Xi was afraid of the cold, so she had specially worn flesh-colored leggings with thick fleece, which made her stand out compared to other ageless beauties).

She hadn't prepared a replacement, and it would take quite a while to have it delivered. She also didn't want to wear the spare clothes the organizers had prepared, so she decided to go back immediately. She had already eaten the melon, watched the show, and met the gay man, so it didn't matter whether she ate the meal or not.

Having made the decision, Li Xi pulled Su Yuan's sleeve and whispered her decision to leave, including the reason. While Su Yuan felt bad about losing a friend, he had no reason to stay. Fortunately for him, Li Xi had tried to lean towards him when she sprayed, so Su Yuan was less affected. He also reacted quickly, blocking the spray with his hand. So, only a little wet got on his sleeve. He wiped it with a towel and rolled it up, which was bearable. Li Xi, however, was much more soaked, and after all, she was a girl, so she had to maintain her image. So, with a wave of his hand, he sent Li Xi on her way.
