"Also, don't involve me when you're mad. You arranged everything tonight yourself."
Shen Yuan's eyes turned red, and the look he gave Shen Mingzhu was as sinister as a poisonous snake.
"You are the one who should be embarrassed tonight! If that bitch Ji Yuan hadn't betrayed me, do you think you could have gotten away with it?"
Ji Yuan sat up in disbelief, "Yuanyuan, you're here, what are you talking about?"
There were obvious purple marks on her neck. She finally managed to catch her breath, but her voice was hoarse.
Shen Yuan did not respond to Ji Yuan, but continued to stare at Shen Mingzhu, and then let out a creepy laugh.
Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes speechlessly and freed one hand to pinch Shen Yuan's mouth.
"You're laughing so disgustingly, are you going to die?"
Shen Yuan's whole body was suppressed, and the only part that could move was her mouth. Now she was also controlled by Shen Mingzhu. She was so angry that she kept casting threatening glances at Shen Mingzhu.
It's a pity that Shen Mingzhu didn't even bother to look at her.
She turned to look at Ji Yuan, "I'll give you a chance to find reinforcements, otherwise I'll let this crazy woman go and you'll be the one who'll be in trouble."
Ji Yuan didn't care that her legs were weak from the fright just now, and stumbled out.
Shen Mingzhu looked at Ji Yuan's leaving figure and sighed, "Why is this kid running around like she just learned how to use her hands and feet? If there's really someone chasing her, she won't be able to get away if she runs like this!"
The first person Ji Yuan met when she ran out was Shen Zeqing. She tried to let her long hair down to cover the marks on her neck.
Seeing her panic, Shen Zeqing asked curiously.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ji Yuan shook her head frantically, "No, it's okay."
"Are you really okay? Aren't you with Yuanyuan? Did something happen?"
When Ji Yuan heard the word "Yuan Yuan", the panic on her face became even worse.
It seemed that every time she closed her eyes, Shen Yuan's terrifying look would appear before her eyes.
In that state, if Shen Mingzhu hadn't pulled Shen Yuan away, he might have been strangled to death by Shen Yuan.
And Shen Zeqing was Shen Yuan's brother, so it was impossible for him to stand on his side, so Ji Yuan suppressed her panic.
"I feel a little uncomfortable, so I won't talk much."
Shen Zeqing looked at Ji Yuan who seemed to be worried but unwilling to speak, and did not continue to ask.
After all, he and Ji Yuan were not very familiar with each other, and since she was unwilling to speak, it was not appropriate for him to meddle in her affairs.
Fortunately, Ji Yuan was lucky and saw a familiar figure not long after she walked away.
Ji Ci sat in a corner of the banquet hall, his eyes slightly gloomy. Such an aura made people around him automatically keep a distance from him.
If it were normal, seeing Ji Ci like this, Ji Yuan would automatically avoid disturbing him.
But now it’s different. The Ji Ci she sees now is like a savior.
Although Ji Ci is usually strict with her, as long as she is not the one at fault, Ji Ci will most likely protect her.
"Cousin, the banquet is almost over. Should we go back?"
Ji Ci said nothing, glanced at Ji Yuan briefly and then looked away.
His expression was so unpredictable that Ji Yuan couldn't tell whether he agreed or not.
Ji Yuan's heart almost rose to her throat. Ji Ci's silence at this time really made her extremely nervous.
She didn't care about Shen Mingzhu, she just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
"Cousin?" After waiting for Ji Ci's response for a long time, Ji Yuan couldn't help but urge him again.
This time, Ji Ci finally spoke. He looked straight at Ji Yuan, "Didn't you always refuse to leave unless I urged you? What happened today?"
Ji Yuan's eyes were vague and she didn't dare to tell the truth to Ji Ci.
If Ji Ci knew that she was responsible for Chen Yuan's embarrassment tonight, her fate would be even more miserable.
But being stared at by Ji Ci like that, she felt a lot of pressure.
Especially the strange feeling on her neck made her unbearable, and almost without any control from her brain, she lifted some of the hair on her neck.
She only realized something was wrong with this action last night, but it was too late to cover it up with her hair.
When Ji Ci saw the marks on Ji Yuan's neck, his eyes turned cold, "Tell me, what happened?"
Ji Yuan quickly turned her head away, and then kept pulling her hair with her hands to cover the marks on her neck.
This move is clearly an attempt to cover up one's own guilt.
Ji Ci stood up quickly and pulled Ji Yuan towards a deserted direction.
After all, in the banquet hall, many people were quietly observing his movements.
Family disgrace should not be made public, and it is not appropriate to interrogate Ji Yuan in public.
However, the direction that Ji Ci pulled Ji Yuan towards was where Shen Yuan was.
And with every step in that direction, Ji Yuan's desire to struggle became stronger.
"Cousin, this is not the place to talk. Let's go back first. I'll talk to you slowly after we get back, okay?"
Ji Yuan’s reaction aroused Ji Ci’s curiosity, and it seemed even more impossible for him to stop.
Ji Yuan then realized something was wrong. Did Ji Ci walk this way on purpose?
There are so many places with no one around, but she chose to go in the direction she just came out.
That’s right, Ji Ci did it on purpose.
In fact, Ji Ci had noticed Ji Yuan sneaking out from this direction long ago, and he remained silent when Ji Yuan spoke to him for the first time, intentionally letting Ji Yuan reveal her flaws.
Seeing that she was about to reach the place where Shen Yuan had pinched her just now, Ji Yuan refused to move at all.
"Cousin, let me go! If you don't go back, I will go back by myself..."
Perhaps because she was extremely afraid of that position, Ji Yuan somehow got the brute force from somewhere and forcibly pulled Ji Ci to stop.
Ji Ci looked back at Ji Yuan, but before he could open his mouth he was attracted by a few whispers.
"Where the hell is Ji Yuan? She was asked to go get help, but she hasn't come back in a while!"
"And this lunatic is struggling harder and harder. She's harder to press than a pig during Chinese New Year. I'm so annoyed. I shouldn't have helped Ji Yuan earlier. After I saved her, she actually left me alone!"
Ji Ci raised his eyebrows, he let go of Ji Yuan, and found Shen Mingzhu accurately based on her chattering.
Ji Yuan originally wanted to leave, but seeing the direction Ji Ci was going, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and follow.
If she left, what would happen if Shen Mingzhu took the opportunity to distort the truth and slander her?
So even if she was unwilling a thousand times, she had to move in the direction that frightened her.
However, Ji Ci roughly understood part of the situation because of Shen Mingzhu's thoughts, but he was still shocked when he saw the strange postures of Shen Mingzhu and Shen Yuan.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Mingzhu was still mumbling in her heart, and when she heard Ji Ci's words, she responded without thinking.
"What does it have to do with you..." She turned her head slowly after saying this, "Hey? Why are you here?"
As soon as Shen Mingzhu loosened her grip a little, Shen Yuan seized the opportunity and bit Shen Mingzhu's hand.
"Wow!" The pain forced Shen Mingzhu to turn her attention back to Shen Yuan, "Are you a dog? Let go!"
"Chen Yuan?" Ji Ci then noticed that the face that was being pressed to the ground and resisting frantically by Shen Mingzhu was actually Chen Yuan.
