Chen Yuan looked at the hung up call in astonishment, the grievance in her eyes almost overflowing.
"Yuanyuan?" Ji Yuan didn't understand why Shen Yuan, who had been standing beside her watching the show, had such a reaction.
Shen Yuan's grip on Shen Mingzhu's phone became tighter and tighter. Shen Mingzhu felt that something was wrong with her and immediately reached out to snatch her phone back. However, Shen Yuan glared at Shen Mingzhu with red eyes and quickly ran away.
Ji Yuan followed closely and left the scene.
Su Wanqing frowned and looked at the direction where Shen Yuan left.
But there were still many guests to be entertained, and she had no time to find Chen Yuan.
But everyone heard clearly what Shen Zeshuo said just now.
With his testimony, no one dared to question it.
Su Wanqing sighed and looked at Shen Mingzhu.
"If it was a misunderstanding, why didn't you explain it from the beginning?"
Shen Mingzhu raised her lips with a mocking smile, "Did you give me a chance to explain?"
"From the beginning you were trapped in your own imagination, projecting those filthy assumptions onto me. You didn't even bother to understand the whole story. You just said what you wanted to say. How dare I argue with you?"
"But I clearly gave you a chance to explain, but you said something half-hearted and made everyone misunderstand even more. If you had explained it clearly at that time, why would things have become so awkward?"
Su Wanqing's face looked a little unhappy. What did she mean by not giving her a chance to explain?
Clearly, she had taken the initiative to call Shen Mingzhu over to ask her to explain.
But she insisted on arguing with others. If she hadn't stopped them, Shen Mingzhu would have been drowned in their spit.
Who are you showing this aggrieved look to?
Thinking of this, Su Wanqing looked at Shen Mingzhu with a bit of resentment in her eyes.
We were just throwing a proper birthday party for Chen Yuan, but she had to make such a scene and not let Yuan Yuan have a good time, right?
Just with a glance, she found that Shen Mingzhu was looking at her with a smile, and her eyes seemed to see through all of Su Wanqing's thoughts at the moment.
"So Ms. Su thinks that everything is my fault. If it weren't for me, everyone should have had a pleasant experience at today's banquet instead of ending in such an embarrassing situation, right?"
Su Wanqing opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Although what Shen Mingzhu said was indeed her own idea, pointing it out so bluntly made it seem as if I was being unreasonable and bullying her.
One of the ladies saw that something was not right and immediately came out with a smile to smooth things over.
"Mingzhu, why do you think so? Your mommy has put a lot of effort into organizing this event. She is already very tired, and none of us blame you."
"Yes, there is no parent who doesn't love his or her child. Mrs. Shen just said that because she didn't know how to express her concern. We also know that you have been wronged, but since it has been explained clearly that it was a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be better for us to just let it go? Why hold on to it as if everyone is bullying you?"
"That's right. It's not an excessive matter. Can't we just make concessions and solve it? I used to think you were a very good kid. Why are you so ignorant today?"
"That's right. How can you survive in this society if you don't have a sense of the overall situation and tolerance?"
Shen Mingzhu scanned everyone with a cold look, and finally fixed her eyes on Su Wanqing. "Is this what you call considering the overall situation? Your world is really terrible. I'm afraid I will never be able to reach such a height in my lifetime."
"I am just an ordinary person. I can't forgive all the people who hurt me like God does. I can't smile and say it's okay to the abuser when I am hurt and in pain."
"If you don't get whipped, you won't feel the pain. The verbal bullying that you just brushed aside with a few words is like a sharp thorn piercing my body."
"I didn't cry not because I didn't feel any pain, but because I couldn't cry out in pain. If I showed any signs of pain, you would think I was ignorant and hypocritical!"
"I don't have the habit of fulfilling your pleasure of torture."
"Also, Ms. Su, I don't know how you can confidently question the victim as to why he didn't explain clearly at the beginning. Can this be used to prove that I'm not a perfect victim? Does it mean that as long as I don't meet the criteria of a perfect victim, I have no right to appeal for justice?"
"Don't you think it's absurd when you say this? Instead of paying attention to and judging the perpetrator, all the attention is focused on proving that the victim is not perfect. Can this ignore the fact that the victim has been hurt?"
"I didn't explain at the beginning because I didn't want to? If I explained, would anyone listen? No one, right? So don't make assumptions in front of me that you would listen if I explained. Things have already happened, and there is no point in talking about it after the fact."
"And I can tell you that wasting your time proving your innocence to a group of people who don't care about the truth is like explaining the seasons to a mayfly that only lives for one day. The result is the same."
"I don't ask you to apologize to the victim after you recognize your mistakes, but can you please not force the victim to forgive your crimes!"
"What's the difference between this and forcing someone to eat shit? If you like it, eat more, but don't make me eat it, I feel disgusted!"
After he finished speaking, the whole place fell silent, and Shen Mingzhu smiled again.
"I'm sorry to make you unhappy, but if there is a next time, I will dare to do this again. It's not for anything else, but because I can't get along with you guys who have such heavy tastes!"
After saying this, Shen Mingzhu left the stage gracefully.
"Vulgar!"
One of them couldn't stand Shen Mingzhu's description.
It feels like I really ate that thing.
Others followed suit.
"Why is this child so extreme? We didn't do anything, but she reacted so strongly."
"Humph, after all, you are not of the Shen family's bloodline, so you can't be accepted into the upper class."
After saying this, Chen Shuyu turned and looked at Su Wanqing.
“Mrs. Shen, I’m really sorry, I’m feeling a little unwell, so I won’t be participating in the rest of the session.”
Seeing her stance, others found excuses to leave.
They didn't want to stay any longer, and they didn't want to admit that they were what Shen Mingzhu called "heavy tasters".
In just a moment, Su Wanqing and Lan Yin were the only ones left in the banquet hall that was bustling just now.
Su Wanqing came to her senses and found that everyone had left. She could not hide the dejection in her eyes.
"Why did Mingzhu become like this?"
A hand gently brushed away her fallen hair, followed by a sigh.
"Wanqing, we are the ones who need to reflect on what happened today."
Su Wanqing looked up in surprise at the owner of the hand, her best friend of many years - Lan Yin.
