Suddenly, the crowd surged forward, and Lu Baofei was pushed backward repeatedly.

With no handrails or supports on either side, her high heels got stuck in the gaps between the floor tiles, one leg was awkwardly in front, and her whole body was tilted backward out of balance.

Just as she was about to fall, she felt a sudden lift to her lower back, which helped her regain her footing.

"Thank you!"

Lu Baofei was still in shock.

He was panting heavily as he straightened his clothes.

The arguing between her mother, Qin Fengying, and the person in charge continued unabated, carried on the wind, but she chose to automatically block out the sound.

Inadvertently, my gaze fell upon a pair of black Doc Martens at my feet.

Following the trouser leg upwards to Huo Jingxi's playful face, her breath hitched for a second.

The man in front of her opened one eye slightly, his smile filled with mockery and doubt, and seemingly mixed with a trace of hatred.

"Miss Lu, as Lu Yi's older sister, it's truly unbelievable that you didn't even receive an invitation!"

Lu Baofei's long, butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered, and the breath she had just managed to muster was swallowed back down.

How do you know you didn't receive it?

Huo Jingxi pointed and said, "Look, Madam Lu even resorted to such country shrewish tricks just to attend her own son's coming-of-age ceremony!"

"If you really received invitations from Lu Yi or the Fan family, why belittle yourselves to this extent?"

Lu Baofei was speechless.

She was originally there to deliver a gift, but she deliberately pretended not to care about the banquet in order to save face for the Lu family.

But now, the Lu family has completely lost face.

"How about I give Miss Lu a suggestion?"

“My father is over there. Go tell him what role your Lu family played in the events that led to the assassination of the Huo family back then, and I will…”

Huo Jingxi's eyes were piercing, and his cold face no longer held any hint of mockery.

Under his gaze, Lu Baofei felt a chill run down her spine.

"How...how should I know!"

Her momentum unconsciously weakened.

"It's normal not to know... Miss Lu, don't take it to heart. I was just asking casually."

After Huo Jingxi finished speaking, he reverted to his initial arrogant and dissolute demeanor.

Lu Baofei had a somewhat unreal feeling. Was this young master Huo too experienced, and had he developed a split personality?

The change in appearance is so drastic it's like getting a new head.

The black eye patch on his face became grotesque, and the eyes behind it seemed to house a demon!

...

After misunderstanding Lu Yi, Liang Shiyue quickly realized how wrong she was and kept looking for an opportunity to apologize to him.

But no matter how many messages or comments she sent, Lu Yi did not respond.

I mustered up the courage to make a call, only to find that the original number was no longer in service.

Seeing the uproar about the "coming-of-age ceremony" online, Liang Shiyue had a sudden inspiration and thought it was a good opportunity, so she took a car back from Fengcheng.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the scene, I witnessed Qin Fengying causing a scene.

Now that she has become the "target of public criticism," Liang Shiyue felt ashamed.

But that's exactly the kind of gossip those people want, so how could they let her off so easily just because she's a pitiful little white rabbit?

"Miss Liang, judging from your expression, are you unable to produce it?"

"You're Lu Yi's only publicly acknowledged girlfriend. Have you two had a falling out?"

"Oh dear, a fight doesn't have to escalate to this extent. You didn't even tell your girlfriend, and besides, there's a dance party at this dinner!"

"So, Miss Liang wasn't invited, and Lu Yi's dance partner is someone else?"

Public opinion can melt metal.

Liang Shiyue is not like Lu Yi; she has absolutely no experience in handling this kind of situation.

In addition, at this time, there were indeed problems between her and Lu Yi.

For her, being interrogated like this was no different from being stripped naked and paraded through the streets.

Seeing that Qin Fengying was not injured, he didn't bother to answer her question and turned to leave.

"Hey, don't go!"

Qin Fengying's hair was disheveled, and her face was flushed from shouting excitedly.

When he grabbed Liang Shiyue, he used real force, and Liang Shiyue let out a startled scream.

"Xiaoyue..."

Qin Fengying casually touched her face, and her eye makeup instantly became a complete mess.

But she didn't care about her image at all, and grabbed Liang Shiyue, and started talking non-stop.

"It doesn't matter whether Auntie goes in or not. Anyway, Lu Yi doesn't recognize me as his biological mother anymore. I'll accept everyone's ridicule."

“But you’re different. You’re Lu Yi’s girlfriend. What does this coming-of-age ceremony represent? It represents that he has officially grown up.”

“There are at least a dozen girls, if not a hundred, eyeing him all over Jiangzhou. If you don’t hold on tight, he might be snatched away by someone else in the blink of an eye…”

Liang Shiyue curled up into a ball and explained honestly.

"Auntie, I really didn't, please don't pressure me!"

"My relationship with Lu Yi needs to be taken slowly, and he doesn't even know I'm here today."

The person in charge was squeezed outside and had no way to deal with the chaotic scene.

When assigning personnel, he only thought about maintaining the security of the outer and inner areas as much as possible, and he did not expect such a big mistake to occur at the registration office.

Anxious, he stepped aside and took out his phone to call Fan Huijun.

"Young Miss, something terrible has happened! Madam Lu is here..."

"Yes, Miss Lu Er also came along, but only Madam Lu caused trouble. There was also another girl."

"I heard from people around her that she's Young Master Yi's girlfriend, but I don't know if it's true or not!"
