Emeralds are dazzling, but also delicate and fragile.

This gem, which is larger and more lustrous than a thumb, was covered with dust the moment it rolled to the ground, and the base made of filigree gold wire became crooked.

After the guest kicked it hard, the base fell off completely, leaving only the bare gem, which no longer sparkled.

A twisted look of pleasure flashed across Bai Mengqiu's eyes.

That’s great…

From the first time he met Wen Jingyi, Bai Mengqiu knew that he was just a fake, and Wen Jingyi was the real gem who was born to enjoy everything.

But so what?

No matter how precious a gem is, once it is repeatedly suppressed, it will become as gray and annoying as the emerald in front of you.

As long as Wen Jingyi fails one day, Bai Mengqiu will be able to stand here in all his glory and step on her.

Wen Jingyi stood at the entrance. The flickering incandescent lights and ambient light distorted the picture and made it blurry. Bai Mengqiu's smile seemed to be stretched.

Especially ferocious.

She did it on purpose.

Wen Jingyi suddenly became extremely angry. She always avoided the sharp edge in the past, but she could not bear to watch her adoptive mother's belongings being destroyed!

"What have you done?"

She quickly took two steps forward and grabbed Bai Mengqiu's wrist, stopping her from stepping on it. "I lent you this brooch, why did you deliberately break it?"

"ah!"

Bai Mengqiu looked flustered, her delicate face filled with guilt. "Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't expect the brooch to be so loose and fall off on its own... You can scold me, it's my fault."

The two people's movements attracted many people to watch.

When Shen Zekai saw the brooch, he frowned and walked forward to ask Bai Mengqiu considerately, "What's going on?"

"She deliberately—"

"The brooch accidentally fell to the ground, and now the base is destroyed. It's all my fault, Zerui. This is my sister's thing. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have asked for my sister's brooch."

Bai Mengqiu interrupted Wen Jingyi's words with a sobbing voice.

As expected, Shen Zekai looked at Wen Jingyi disapprovingly and said, "It's just an object. You can just fix it. Why are you so fussy about it on such a happy occasion?"

Wen Jingyi was so angry at the two that she laughed out loud.

She frowned and saw Bai Mengqiu hiding in Shen Zekai's arms. After giving her a sweet smile, she actually pretended to throw the brooch on the ground again!

Wen Jingyi stretched out her hand in a hurry, "Give it back to me!"

"ah--"

Bai Mengqiu's face changed slightly, and she subconsciously dodged backwards, leaning close to Shen Zekai's arms with her head lowered.

And Chen Zekai, with Wen Jingyi in his arms, facing the pale-faced Wen Jingyi, stretched out his hand without thinking and pushed Wen Jingyi out heavily.

Everything happened in a flash. After Shen Zekai realized what he had done, his palms trembled and he looked at the frail Wen Jingyi with mixed feelings.

He had no intention of taking action, and he wouldn't go so far as to fight Wen Jingyi...

But Wen Jingyi is absolutely not qualified to hurt Bai Mengqiu!

“Hmm!”

Wen Jingyi fell heavily backwards. She was protecting the brooch in her hand and could only close her eyes and wait for herself to fall.

But the imagined severe pain did not come.

Instead, a restrained and generous palm landed behind her waist. The warm touch helped Wen Jingyi steady herself, and then she quickly and gentlemanly withdrew the palm. A deep and steady male voice came from behind her: "How are you?"

"It's okay, thank you."

Wen Jingyi answered hurriedly and then checked her brooch.

The exquisite and intricate base with a retro style was completely destroyed. Fortunately, there were only spots of mud on the gem, and no scratches were left. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she remembered the man behind her and quickly stepped aside, creating some distance between them before solemnly saying, "Thanks to you, I didn't fall. May I know your name?"

Wen Jingyi's voice became lower and lower.

There was no other reason. The atmosphere around him became weird. Those vague glances seemed to be driven away by some kind of momentum. Even Shen Zekai rarely continued to be aggressive.

She raised her head and met the man's dark and deep gaze. Wen Jingyi was stunned. These eyes seemed...

"Mo Yunfan."

The man's cold and strong eyes instantly became warm, and he bent his thin lips slightly towards Wen Jingyi: "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."

When this name came out, many people around gasped.

Wen Jingyi was also stunned, and then laughed inwardly. It seemed that the familiarity that flashed in those eyes was just an illusion. How could she know this president of the well-known technology company "Nebula" who had just returned to China and was a top boss who was scrambled for by families in the circle.

It is said that this elusive boss has made it onto the world rankings at a young age. Now that he has returned to China, I wonder how many people are rushing to curry favor with him.

He actually came to attend the Shen family's engagement party?

Maybe he has his eyes on some of the Shen family's projects.

Wen Jingyi was suspicious, but remained calm: "Boss Mo."

He said "hmm" lightly, his cold eyes fell on the brooch, and then he glanced at the high platform behind Wen Jingyi playfully, and said to Shen Zekai casually: "Mr. Shen is quite skilled."

If Mo Yunfan hadn’t pulled Wen Jingyi back in time.

I'm afraid Wen Jingyi must be at least bleeding from her head.

Shen Zekai's face was embarrassed for a moment. He let go of Bai Mengqiu and pretended to be calm to Mo Yunfan: "Boss Mo, I didn't know you came early. The little sisters at home were fighting and made Boss Mo laugh."

Mo Yunfan raised his eyebrows and looked at the platform without commenting. The thoughtful look on his face made Shen Zekai feel embarrassed again.
