When Gu Zhiwei heard the noise and rushed over, Ji Yan was being pulled by Lu Anning and Ding Wan with great effort. Her hair was disheveled, and she looked like a madwoman. An Li stood a meter away, her face ashen, and she was obviously very unhappy.
All the guests at tonight's banquet were from aristocratic families, and they valued self-cultivation. Seeing Ji Yan making such a fuss, they all shook their heads, even looking at Gu Zhiwei with disdain.
Gu Zhiwei's face turned pale, and he winked at Gu Yue. Gu Yue immediately stepped forward to try to mediate, but Ji Yan had already lost control. As soon as Gu Yue stepped forward, Ji Yan swung her arms, and her sharp nails scratched Gu Yue's neck, leaving two hideous scratches.
Gu Zhiwei's face was extremely ugly. He took two steps at a time and stepped forward to grab Ji Yan.
"Have you gone crazy enough? Stop it!"
Ji Yan was quiet for a second when she saw who it was. But when she saw Gu Zhiwei's dark face and eyes full of anger, her reaction became even greater.
"What? You want to criticize me too? You all think I'm crazy! It was this bitch who started the trouble. She came here on purpose to disgust me. She's getting close to you just to take you away from me. I won't let her succeed! She even dared to hit me. I must get back at her."
Ji Yan didn't know where she got the strength from, but she took advantage of Gu Zhiwei's negligence, suddenly broke free from Gu Zhiwei's restraints, and pounced towards An Li.
An Li was wearing high heels and reacted in time. The sharp nails scratched her arm, and An Li lost her balance and was about to fall.
At the critical moment, Gu Zhiwei grabbed the person and barely prevented An Li from falling and making a fool of herself. However, Ji Yan was not so lucky.
He missed his target and lost his balance, falling hard. He looked extremely embarrassed.
Lu Anning calmed down and saw that the professor was protected by Gu Zhiwei. He quietly took a half step back and stood next to Tang Jingyuan.
Next, she shouldn't be needed anymore.
"Professor An, are you okay?"
Gu Zhiwei didn't even look at Ji Yan, he was only concerned about whether An Li in front of him had his hands.
Seeing this, the audience around had some clues, but no one was willing to say it out loud.
Professor An is so outstanding in all aspects. Even if he is a little interested, it is because Gu Zhiwei covets the professor. What relationship does he have with the high and mighty Professor An?
However, Gu Zhiwei’s image as a loving wife may be shaky in the future.
Ji Yan came to her senses and saw that Gu Zhiwei was still protecting An Li. She was about to rush over again. However, before she could get close to An Li, a loud slap landed on Ji Yan's face, and the farce finally came to an end.
"That's enough! Aren't you embarrassed enough? Ah Yue, what are you standing there for? Why don't you take your mother back to get her medicine?"
Just now, Lu Anning had inadvertently revealed to everyone that Ji Yan wasn't quite normal and was prone to overthinking things. Now, Gu Zhiwei had personally admitted that Ji Yan needed medication, which made it hard not to think of something else.
If this is really abnormal, then everything that just happened can be understood.
Ji Yan wanted to defend herself, but before she could open her mouth, she was pulled away by Gu Yue and Ding Wan.
She really wanted to say that she was not sick.
Ji Yan left the scene in dismay, and everyone else cast sympathetic glances at Gu Zhiwei. A wife like this would only hold him back. From now on, the Gu family would probably never have peace.
Before Ji Yan had gone far, Gu Zhiwei had already apologized to An Li.
"I'm so sorry! My wife isn't in a good mental state. She misunderstood you and even injured Professor An. How about this? I'll take Professor An to treat his arm injury first!"
An Li smiled gently, "Madam's condition is indeed not good. We should see a doctor as soon as possible! Don't let it get worse. The injury on my arm is not a big deal, but I just twisted my foot. I'm afraid I won't be able to continue attending the dinner."
Gu Zhiwei looked guilty and apologized repeatedly.
"The Gu family has an ointment specifically designed to treat injuries from falls, and it's very effective. I'll have someone fetch it and deliver it to Professor An's residence. Also, if necessary, I can issue a statement to clarify the relationship between you and me. This will definitely not affect Professor An's reputation."
Gu Zhiwei's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone present to hear. He sounded like an explanation, yet also somewhat deliberate. It was difficult to discern the difference between truth and falsehood.
An Li glanced at everyone with an indifferent look.
"Don't bother! The innocent will be cleared. I'm a researcher, not in the entertainment industry. I don't need to rely on gossip news to maintain popularity."
"That's right! Those who are innocent will be cleared. I promise that something like what happened today will never happen again."
"I hope so."
An Li's expression was calm, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry. For a moment, the others became even more cautious. Some people had hoped to use today's opportunity to get to know An Li, but Ji Yan's disturbance ruined their plans. Thinking of this, many people felt a little more disgusted with Ji Yan.
After the farce ended, Lu Anning and the others wanted to stay and continue attending the charity dinner until it was over. Gu Zhiwei sent An Li away first.
After everyone left, Lu Anning and Tang Jingyuan looked at each other and smiled.
Later, she accidentally heard a lot of voices, which were all discussing Ji Yan.
"After all, she is not from an aristocratic family and her mindset is too narrow. Otherwise, she would not have done such a shameful thing today. It's because I feel sorry for Mr. Gu and I am cleaning up the mess for her."
"If you ask me, it's really hard to find a good man like Mr. Gu. Ji Yan is really ungrateful for what he has! I think he and Professor An are a better match."
"I've said it before, Ji Yan is not worthy of Gu Zhiwei. Back then, I heard that Gu Zhiwei also valued his promises and had no choice but to marry her. Otherwise, with the status of the Gu family, he could have just found a daughter from an aristocratic family and wouldn't have made such a joke today."
Lu Anning curled his lips, and the red wine became particularly mellow as it entered his throat.
Not long after, a rumor spread in the Beijing circle that the mistress of the Gu family was mentally unstable and was seeing a psychiatrist.
