Chapter 371 Not One Can Escape
Clyde uttered those words, ignoring the designers who had fallen silent because of his outburst, and turned to leave without hesitation.
The group of people who were left standing there looked at each other in confusion. After realizing what had happened, they glared angrily at Ye Wanxi and the others, and hurriedly followed Clyde.
Eric was a step behind the others, and before leaving, he covered his mouth and glared at Ye Wanxi with murderous intent.
Ye Wanxi was not intimidated by him at all; instead, she gave him a kind smile.
It was a very gentle smile, but when Eric thought of Ye Wanxi's recent feat, he couldn't help but shudder. He dared not linger any longer and ran away as if fleeing.
Arriving a step too late and completely unaware of what had happened, Du Yihuan glanced in the direction the group had left, then turned to Ye Wanxi and the others, utterly bewildered: "What did Mr. Clyde mean by 'explaining'? What just happened to you? And what about the personal attacks, insults, and curses that Brother Han mentioned? They insulted me and my sister-in-law?"
Ye Wanxi pressed down on Du Yihuan's hand, which was gripping her tightly due to excitement, and said with a faint smile, "It's nothing. Miss Song led me and Sister Gao into your backstage area. They probably thought we were new faces, so they came to question us. There was a little conflict during the questioning, but it's nothing serious."
Hearing Ye Wanxi say this, Song Yulan knew that she didn't want Du Yihuan to know about the foul language those people had just used, so she cooperated and said, "It's my fault. I'm sorry to have implicated you, Miss Ye."
"What are you saying? We're the ones who dragged you into this. If we hadn't come backstage at this time, they wouldn't have thought they had something on you and made things difficult for you."
"That's still my fault." Du Yihuan took the blame as well when she heard the two of them say that. "It was my lack of consideration. I should have gone to pick up my sister-in-law myself."
Ye Wanxi glanced at Du Yihuan and thought to herself, "No, even if you had personally picked us up, we couldn't have avoided what just happened."
Thinking this, Ye Wanxi's face turned cold. She really didn't expect that Du Yihuan, no matter what, was the adopted daughter of the Feng family, and would have to suffer such humiliation and cold treatment here.
Everything that happened today made Ye Wanxi feel guilty for causing them trouble, and even more angry at those people for their malicious gossip about Du Yihuan behind her back.
Sure enough, letting them go so easily would be too lenient on them.
But don't worry, this isn't something that can be easily resolved.
Thinking of the divine thought she had just placed on Eric, Ye Wanxi's eyes flickered slightly, and she began to plan how to teach these people a lesson.
"Alright, alright, none of you are wrong. The ones who were wrong were those guys just now." Han Yue was both annoyed and distressed. "On such a nice day, there's no need to let unnecessary people ruin our mood. Yi Huan, did you invite your sister-in-law over? Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I could have come out to greet her myself."
"I asked her to keep it a secret. I just wanted to come quietly to see your performance tonight, but I didn't expect it to become such a big fuss."
"It's alright, sister-in-law, you don't need to blame yourself at all. Those people have always been at odds with us, and this was bound to happen sooner or later. It just so happened that you happened to be there. But..."
Han Yue was also quite curious about Eric's performance. Seeing that everyone else was far away and shouldn't be able to hear what was happening, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Eric's tongue..."
"That?" Ye Wanxi deliberately kept him in suspense for a while before smiling slightly, "It's just a small spell, enough to make him suffer a bit, and every time he says those things in the future, he'll suffer."
Han Yue's eyes brightened slightly: "Does such a spell last this long? Then, can it be used in batches?"
"Bulk?" Ye Wanxi instantly understood what he meant, and gave him a meaningful smile. "Don't worry, not one of them will escape."
Han Yue felt a surge of anger dissipate instantly and sincerely said, "Sister-in-law is amazing!"
Du Yihuan didn't quite understand what the two were talking about, so she looked to Song Yulan for help.
After thinking for a moment, Song Yulan picked out some key points and briefly recounted Ye Wanxi's actions, unsurprisingly earning Du Yihuan's excited and surprised gaze.
Throughout the rest of the journey, Du Yihuan kept asking Ye Wanxi how she did it, and whether she could learn such a skill.
Clearly, she knew she wasn't very popular here. While she wouldn't go so far as to curse Eric with a foul tongue like Ye Wanxi had just done to him, she genuinely wanted them to shut up for a while.
Du Yihuan has no foundation in magic and no magical power whatsoever, so she definitely can't learn it.
Ye Wanxi eventually gave her a talisman that could deflect all the malice directed at her by others.
Just like what she did today, once that group of people harbored ill will towards Du Yihuan and took action, their actions and thoughts would gradually be discovered by those they were trying so hard to hide, and they would lose everything.
After learning the function of this thing, Du Yihuan treasured it and carefully put the talisman away.
Han Yue watched with envy, but ultimately didn't ask for it. He just smiled as Du Yihuan carefully put the talisman away, but couldn't help taking it out to touch it every now and then.
Not long after the unpleasant little incident, Katherine's show officially opened.
Ye Wanxi was given the best seats to watch the show, sitting with Han Yue and Du Yihuan.
When the stage lights came on, which were a bit too bright, someone suddenly sat down in the empty seat next to her.
After he sat down, the man even reached out and placed his hand on the back of her hand.
Ye Wanxi, slightly dazzled by the lights, paused for a moment, then turned her head and met a familiar face.
"You...why are you here?"
Sitting next to Ye Wanxi was Feng Tianyu, who had just arrived from the airport: "You really don't want me here?"
"No, I'm just a little surprised." Ye Wanxi quickly recovered. "Did you know I would come today?"
"Um."
"Did Yihuan tell you that?"
"Um."
This shameless person, faced with a choice between his wife and his sister, decisively chose to betray his sister.
Du Yihuan: "..." My heart is shattered.
"Yihuan said you wanted to come to Katherine's fashion show because of the outfit I gave you last time?"
Feng Tianyu was referring to the dress Ye Wanxi wore when she attended the Banana TV anniversary celebration. It was a dress that his mother had personally designed and given to her future daughter-in-law.
Ye Wanxi's face flushed instantly. Forgetting all about his broken promise, she nervously grasped Feng Tianyu's hand and asked softly, "Auntie, she..."
After observing her anxious expression for a while, Feng Tianyu finally took pity on her and said, "My mother didn't come today."
