There are many suspicious points about Xie Li's matter, and until it is confirmed, she can only deny all accusations.

"It's too late, and I'm tired, so I won't keep you company any longer." After saying that, Madam Huo got up and left.

A flash of hatred crossed Xie Ziyuan's eyes, but in an instant, she regained her calm and composed demeanor.

"It's good that Auntie went back. It was indeed our fault for not hosting a proper banquet, which disappointed her."

When Ding Huizhu saw Xie Ziyuan's forbearing and yielding appearance, she felt extremely distressed: "Ziyuan, it's not your fault, it's that your mother is incompetent and made you suffer."

Shen Linyuan was extremely embarrassed at this moment. He never expected that his father would go against him.

Even the old man's intervention couldn't work; in fact, he was severely scolded.

"What happened today is probably not a coincidence." Chu Xun gripped his phone, his eyes practically blazing with anger. He stared at Ding Huizhu, his words accusing.

"You should go back and ask your good daughter what she has been doing!"

Ding Huizhu was caught off guard by the direct question. "You mean Xie Li?"

"Who else could it be but her?" Chu Xun sneered.

By this time, he had fully realized what was happening. Xie Li had said he would sabotage Xie Ziyuan's coming-of-age ceremony that day—otherwise, how could he explain the absence of guests today?

"What exactly happened?" Shen Linyuan had never felt so aggrieved in his life. Not only had he wronged his goddess, but he had also lost face in front of her.

If we find the culprit, he will definitely not let him off easily. "Tell me quickly, what do you know?"

Xie Ziyuan: "Chu Xun, what do you know—you wouldn't make things up without reason, would you?" She looked at Chu Xun seriously, her brows slightly furrowed.

Chu Xun had initially only guessed, but now it had become a certainty.

He recounted the events of that day in a completely distorted way, saying, "Xie Li knew you were going to hold a coming-of-age ceremony, and she declared that she would definitely ruin it. She even contacted someone on WeChat on the spot."

As for whether Xie Li was truly capable, he had previously dismissed it, thinking she was exaggerating; but now it had become irrefutable evidence.

To corroborate his statement, he also recounted how Luo Zhihan had forced Donglin Airlines to refuse him boarding.

"Young Master Han of the Luo family in the capital is quite a well-known figure in the capital. If he were to resort to some underhanded tactics, you probably wouldn't be able to defend against them."

Ding Huizhu's face turned completely green, her chest heaved rapidly, and she was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all ached.

"Young Master Han?" Xie Ziyuan recalled the boy who stood behind Xie Li that day.

She possessed an incomparably noble air, and her stunning beauty made even a woman like herself feel inferior.

Although the other party did not say a word, he left an indelible impression on her. She then took the initiative to inquire about him and found out that he was actually the young master Han from the capital.

No wonder the socialites in the capital who were on good terms with her all seemed to secretly admire her when they mentioned her name. I used to look down on them, but after seeing her stunning beauty, I really understand why.

Xie Ziyuan never expected that someone who was rumored to be powerless and only valuable for marriage could actually incite forces to oppose the Shen family.

"Luo Zhihan?" Shen Linyuan had obviously heard of Luo Zhihan's name and immediately found a target for his anger.

Although the Luo family was one of the four great families, it had already declined. How could it compare to the richest family, the Shen family? Even the heads of the Luo family had to treat him with deference. Luo Zhihan was just a pretty face; if he wanted to deal with him, it would be very easy.

"I need to ask the Luo family what exactly happened." Shen Linyuan immediately made a phone call to the Luo family.
