The wine bottle was about to smash into Tang Xingmi's head.

Everyone present stared wide-eyed in horror.

"This won't kill anyone, will it?!"

"You think Li Manchu can get away with this?"

"Sigh, this girl's chances are slim tonight."

The other guests watching were all worried for Tang Xingmi.

Some female guests quickly covered their eyes, afraid of seeing something bloody.

Everyone thought that the bottle would hit Tang Xingmi.

Seeing this, the male waiter shouted at Tang Xingmi, "Young Madam, watch your back!"

Upon hearing the sound, Tang Xingmi reacted quickly and dodged to the side.

The bottle eventually fell to the ground with a loud crack and shattered into pieces.

The red wine in the bottle spilled all over the floor, some of it splashing onto Tang Xingmi's skirt.

The place was a complete mess.

"You dare to hide?!"

When Li Man first saw that the wine bottle had failed to hit Tang Xingmi, she was furious.

Enraged, she stepped forward, raised her hand, and viciously slapped Tang Xingmi across the face.

Tang Xingmi reacted quickly, grabbing her wrist and her clear eyes filled with anger.

He stared directly at her and said coldly, "Li Manchu, are you so eager to get beaten up!"

Tang Xingmi gripped her wrist tightly, not giving her a chance to break free.

The next second, Tang Xingmi raised her other hand and slapped Li Manchu hard across the face.

"Smack—"

The crisp sound of a slap rang out clearly.

"Li Manchu, don't take my kindness for granted and push your luck."

I'm no longer the little lamb you used to bully in high school. Don't push your luck.

Since you don't want it anymore, then you can get rid of your face!

As she spoke, Tang Xingmi raised her hand and slapped Li Manchu on the other side of her face.

"Smack—"

He flung her away roughly and released Li Manchu.

These slaps were much harder than the previous one.

Li Manchu was completely stunned by the blow, and both of her ears were ringing.

He staggered back two steps, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.

"Ah! Manchu, your face..."

The two girls beside her cried out in surprise when they saw the very obvious bright red five-finger mark on Li Manchu's face.

What happened to my face!?

Li Manchu felt a burning pain on her face.

What she cares about most is her face, which she is very proud of. She wants to use this face to win over Young Master Fu.

As the young mistress of the Fu family, her face cannot be damaged!

The two girls quickly took out a small mirror from their bags, opened it, and handed it to Li Manchu.

Li Manchu snatched the lens with both hands and saw that her once delicate face was now red and swollen in the mirror!

"Ah—" Li Manchu screamed repeatedly in anger, "My face, my face!"

"Chu Chu!"

Li Ting was chatting with several wealthy women when she heard screams coming from not far away.

The voice sounded familiar; it seemed to be her daughter's voice.

Li Ting rushed forward, pushed through the crowd, and saw that her precious daughter was lying on the ground!

She rushed to Li Manchu's side and helped her up.

"Mom, my face, my face is swollen!" Li Manchu cried and shouted when she saw Li Ting.

"My poor Chu Chu, how did your beautiful face get so swollen?" Li Ting stared at the terrible state of her daughter's face, feeling extremely distressed.

"Tell Mom, who hit you?!"

How dare you bully my daughter! I'll make you suffer terribly!

Li Manchu pointed angrily at Tang Xingmi, "It was her, that bitch hit me!"

Li Ting released Li Manchu, turned around, and glared angrily at Tang Xingmi.

He yelled at her angrily, "You're the one who bullied my daughter!"

Tang Xingmi remained calm and told Li Ting the truth, "I didn't bully her. She threw red wine at me first."

If Li Manchu hadn't struck first and verbally humiliated her, she wouldn't have made such a mess of the situation; she was simply acting in self-defense.

“Aunt Li, we can testify that it was that woman who hit Manchu first.”

"Yes, yes, I saw it with my own eyes, she was the one who started it!"

The two sisters quickly ran up to Li Ting, their faces ingratiating, and said things they didn't mean.

"You're lying! You were the ones who bullied our young mistress first!"

The male waiter quickly stood up and spoke up for Tang Xingmi.

The young mistress is so kind, how could she have attacked first? It must have been those girls who bullied her first, which is why she made the move.

Li Manchu glared angrily at the male waiter and said with disdain, "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here? Get out of my way!"

Tang Xingmi sternly reprimanded Li Manchu, "You're from Dunhuang, you have so many murals!"

They're all cut from the same cloth; their ability to distort the truth is simply divine.

Before Li Manchu could speak, Tang Xingmi retorted.

"Are you all blind? It was clearly the three of you who started by verbally abusing me and throwing my red wine. Now you're accusing me first and turning the tables on me. You're all a bunch of snakes and rats, cut from the same cloth!"

Her dress was covered in red wine stains, but they were lying through their teeth.

They can make black out of white; they're really good at making things up.

Li Manchu gritted her teeth in anger, "Who are you talking about!"

Today is her grandfather's birthday banquet. She didn't want to cause trouble, but they took advantage of their power and wouldn't let her go.

Tang Xingmi said, "You've challenged my bottom line time and time again. Do you really think I'm a pushover just because I haven't shown my teeth yet?"

She gave in time and time again, but they became even more unscrupulous and ungrateful. Since they have no shame, there's no need to give them any more face!

"You still dare to argue? Even if my daughter threw red wine at you, you were the one who provoked her first."

Without clarifying the truth of the matter, Li Ting blindly defended her daughter.

Tang Xingmi sneered, "Like mother, like daughter."

Li Ting was so angry she almost lost her temper. "What did you say?!"

"You little bitch, you're so sharp-tongued and have such a seductive look. You even dared to hit my daughter! I'll beat you to death!"

Li Ting was furious and pointed at Tang Xingmi, rushing forward to hit her.

Tang Xingmi grasped her hand precisely in one swift motion.

"This is a banquet. Don't try to act like an old man and act disrespectfully. I won't fall for that!"

Tang Xingmi gave her a forceful shove, and Li Ting was thrown to the side by the force, almost falling over.

"Mom, are you alright?" Fortunately, Li Manchu helped her up in time, and she regained her balance.

Li Ting was furious. "That little bitch said I'm old!"

I am clearly beautiful and have an outstanding appearance, yet she said I am old!

Li Ting hates it when people say she's old; the word "old" hurts her deeply.

Clutching her chest, unable to breathe for a long time, she said, "You, you little bitch, you're driving me crazy!"

"Mom, what's wrong?"

A young man in a pink suit ran over from the crowd.

Li Manchu glared at Tang Xingmi with hatred, "Brother, you've come at the right time! This woman bullied me and even hit Mom!"

"Who the hell is this?! They bullied my sister and even dared to hit my mom!"
