Upon hearing the news of Yan Mengmeng's injury, Madam Yan, who always prided herself on her dignified demeanor, rushed over in her high heels. She ran to Yan Mengmeng's side, looked at Yan Mengmeng's injured arm and disheveled appearance, and shouted fiercely at the crowd.

"Who is it? Who dares to attack my family on our territory? Has he gone mad?"

"It's me..."

Wang Jinyu took a step forward, shielding Wen Lu behind him.

At this moment, Shen Yinan and Mu Moheng also came over and stood behind Wang Jinyu, while also making a gesture to protect Wen Lu.

As Wang Jinyu spoke, his gaze was fixed on Yan Zhaohui, who was standing stiffly in place. He saw a story in Yan Zhaohui's eyes. He hadn't expected the rumor to be true. It seemed this was really interesting.

Just then, Yan Mengmeng's best friends squeezed out from the crowd. They mustered up their courage and spoke up to denounce Wang Jinyu. It wasn't that they weren't afraid of Wang Jinyu, but they didn't want Yan Mengmeng to suffer in silence.

"Young Master Wang, why are you treating Mengmeng like this? It's not Mengmeng's fault that she likes you, how can you be so heartless!"

"That's right, Young Master Wang, didn't you provoke Mengmeng first? You were the one who called Mengmeng's third brother first, saying you would apologize to Mengmeng for kicking her out that day, and today you brought another female companion to the banquet. How can Mengmeng accept this?"

"Exactly, Young Master Wang, if you don't like Yan Mengmeng, why are you trying to please her? Is it meaningful for you to play with Mengmeng's feelings like this?"

Hearing the girls' ridiculous words, Wang Jinyu raised an eyebrow at them, but did not refute them. Instead, he turned his gaze to Yan Mengmeng, who was being held in Madam Yan's arms.

"Yan Mengmeng, did you say what they just said? You said I was trying to be nice to you? You even said I should apologize to you? Do you think I, Wang Jinyu, am so bored that I would apologize to you after kicking you out? And your third brother is involved in this matter?"

At this moment, Wang Jinyu felt that this was the most hilarious joke he had heard in all these years. He never imagined that such an outrageous rumor would be about him.

He looked coldly at the people standing next to Yan Mengmeng.

When Yan Mengmeng heard Wang Jinyu try to deny it, she immediately stopped crying and screamed at him with heartbreaking cries.

"It was you who called my third brother and said you were apologizing, and now you want to deny it... If you hadn't said that... how could I... how could I..."

Yan Mengmeng had already embarrassed herself enough today, and she didn't want to embarrass herself any further. She had only assumed that Wang Jinyu liked her because she heard Yan Luo mention the apology.

Listening to Yan Mengmeng's accusations, Wang Jinyu also thought of what Yan Luo had told him about apologizing, but not to Yan Mengmeng.

Finally, he was amused by Yan Mengmeng's bizarre theory.

“Your third brother told me to apologize to Wen Lu, when did it become that I should apologize to you? Aren’t you overthinking this? If you’re not thinking straight, go get treatment for your delusions.”

After hearing Wang Jinyu's words, Yan Mengmeng's face turned even uglier. The pain in her arm was unbearable. She hugged Madam Yan and screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Mom, it hurts so much! That woman broke my hand!"

Madam Yan was startled by Yan Mengmeng's sudden breakdown, and she held Yan Mengmeng, at a loss for what to do.

After hearing Yan Mengmeng say that her hand was broken by Wen Lu, she blamed all the responsibility on Wen Lu, who was being protected by Wang Jinyu. She let go of Yan Mengmeng, stood up, and rushed towards Wen Lu.

However, before she could even touch Wen Lu, Yan Zhaohui grabbed her. Yan Zhaohui still had some sense of reason at this moment and lowered his voice to say to Madam Yan.

"Alright, stop fooling around. Don't ruin Father's birthday banquet. Let's take Mengmeng to the hospital."

As he spoke, Yan Zhaohui released his wife, glanced at Wang Jinyu, and then looked at Wen Lu, who was being protected by Wang Jinyu. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. He turned around, walked to Yan Mengmeng's side, bent down, picked her up, and quickly walked out of the venue.

Madam Yan wanted to say something, but seeing Yan Zhaohui carrying Yan Mengmeng and quickly leaving, Madam Yan only glanced at Wen Lu and Wang Jinyu before leaving as well.

After Yan Mengmeng was taken away, the three people who had spoken out against Wang Jinyu also realized that this was not a place for them to stay, and they turned around and left quickly.

Just as one of the girls turned to leave, a small paper bag fell off her body with her movement, which Wen Lu happened to see.

Wen Lu walked out from behind Wang Jinyu, went to the fallen paper packet, picked it up from the ground, opened it, and looked at the white powder inside. She realized that the contents of the packet seemed unusual.

She raised her hand and waved to Wang Xiuyi, who was standing behind the crowd. Wang Xiuyi, who had been observing the situation, immediately understood Wen Lu's meaning and quickly stepped forward.

Wen Lu handed the medicine packet to Wang Xiuyi and said in a low voice, "Go investigate the identities of those people and also test the ingredients of this stuff."

Hearing Wen Lu's cold voice, Wang Xiuyi unconsciously raised his head and glanced at Wen Lu. He felt that Wen Lu's aura seemed different from before, and she looked somewhat cold and frightening.

However, he quickly looked away, responded immediately, and left with his things.

After Wang Xiuyi left, Wang Jinyu walked up behind Wen Lu, put his arm around Wen Lu's waist, and asked in a gentle tone.

"Have you noticed anything amiss?"

Wen Lu turned her head to look at Wang Jinyu, gave him a mischievous smile, and said in a gentle tone, "We'll know when the results come out."

Wen Lu had a rough idea of ​​what that thing was, but words alone were not enough; he needed to obtain substantial evidence first.

Seeing how Wen Lu and Wang Jinyu interacted once again refreshed everyone's perception of Wang Jinyu. They realized that Wang Jinyu could be so gentle.

Just then, Old Master Yan came out of the lounge, accompanied by the heads of several major families in the capital, including Gu Jingkun, who had come from afar.

When Gu Jingkun looked in Wen Lu's direction, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips, causing Wen Lu to unconsciously narrow her eyes.

When the birthday celebrant appeared, everyone stopped mentioning what had happened before and turned their attention away from Wang Jinyu and Wen Lu. The Yan brothers immediately straightened their clothes and walked towards the direction of Old Master Yan.

As the Yan brothers were leaving, Yan Nuo glanced at Wen Lu with a hint of something in his eyes. Wen Lu gently shook his hand at him and then pulled Wang Jinyu away in the opposite direction.
