"Young Master Cui, whose reputation is always steeped in bloodshed, why would you attend a charity event? How much money are you going to donate to cleanse yourself of the sins you've committed?"
When Zheng Minghuai approached the two, he loudly teased them.
Cui Ziqi's reputation within the entertainment circle was already in ruins, and Zheng Minghuai was the representative figure of the Zheng family's generation.
People around looked over, their gazes falling on Cui Ziqi. Fear was an unconscious emotion, followed by disdain.
"The Cui family is a century-old family, how could they produce such a monster? And Mr. Cui, why bring a madman to an occasion like this?"
"Mr. Cui is kind and loving, even his illegitimate son is treated with great affection, which is why this young master Cui is so arrogant."
Someone in the crowd shook their head, "It's such a bad omen that such a bloody person appeared at such a nice charity gala."
"..."
A group of well-dressed people, with an air of refined elegance, were giving Cui Ziqi a sidelong glance.
Cui Ziqi is used to such occasions.
Despite his usually volatile emotions, he remained remarkably calm in the face of this scene.
Xia Wan, on the other hand, coldly scanned the crowd before finally settling her gaze on Zheng Minghuai.
A smile played on her lips.
"Young Master Zheng is joking. Our Cui is always kind. She can't even bear to kill fish. How could it smell bloody? Young Master Zheng, you shouldn't believe everything you hear. It would make you look stupid."
Cui Ziqi's lips twitched slightly; he was the best at killing fish.
Looking down at Xia Wan's porcelain-like face, he swallowed back the words in his heart.
Zheng Minghuai's face turned cold. He had long anticipated that Xia Wan would speak up for Cui Ziqi.
But when the moment actually arrived, a strong sense of displeasure welled up inside him, and he still couldn't suppress the surging anger.
"Xia Wan, you've only known Cui Shao for a few days. Do you even know him?"
Xia Wan thought about it seriously, "I've known him for fifteen years, and I consider myself the person who knows him best in the world."
Fifteen years?
Zheng Minghuai frowned.
In order to protect Cui Ziqi, she didn't even bother to draft her lies!
"Our son Cui has been kind since he was a child. Not only is he handsome, but he also has good character, a clean private life, and doesn't deliberately cause trouble for others. There is no one better than our son Cui in the world!"
She tilted her head back proudly, as if introducing her son.
Cui Ziqi: ...
She still didn't understand him.
Everyone: ...
Is this woman Cui Ziqi's mother?
Zheng Minghuai, who was being described as having a chaotic private life, had already taken it personally when Xia Wan mentioned it.
He looked at Cui Ziqi with a stern face.
What is it about this madman that has Xia Wan so infatuated?
"Cui Ziqi, did you put a spell on Xia Wan?"
"No," Cui Ziqi replied coldly.
"Then explain to me why she pursued me for three years, and then suddenly fell for you? And why she's so devoted to you?"
I've been chasing this for three years...
Cui Ziqi looked down at the woman draped in his clothes; she was frail and boneless, her eyes full of innocence.
"Perhaps it's because I'm kinder than you, and my private life is cleaner than yours."
He said calmly.
Zheng Minghuai was speechless for a long time.
Xia Wan chuckled inwardly; this little pervert was actually quite shrewd.
Cui Ziqi shifted his gaze from Xia Wan's face, who was trying not to laugh, and returned it to Zheng Minghuai's face.
His eyes held the chilling coldness of spring snow.
"How much money do you need to donate to wash away the evil spirits on you?"
Leng Cen's voice was devoid of any emotion; he simply returned Zheng Minghuai's words to him in a calm tone.
Now it was Zheng Minghuai's turn to be speechless, unable to utter a single word.
He had been a womanizer for many years and had his own set of rules for dealing with women. Over the years, none of his exes had ever spoken ill of him.
He didn't consider being a womanizer to be a derogatory term.
Now, being so openly exposed by Cui Ziqi in front of so many elites, he subconsciously felt extremely ashamed.
Even the countless gazes falling upon him from above felt stinging to him.
He was somewhat annoyed, but he rationally suppressed his emotions.
"Being a playboy yet never betraying true love, Zheng Shao has a unique personal charm that cannot be considered a flaw."
"That's right, it's better than fighting and killing. Women are a haven of gentleness, not like those violent people."
The passage briefly mentions Zheng Minghuai's voice.
Xia Wan looked over and saw that the rich second-generation kids who were on good terms with Zheng Minghuai were continuing the conversation.
Experienced business people, on the other hand, would sit back and watch the show with their wine glasses in hand, without offering to say a word.
She smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Mr. Zheng, if you're going to donate money, then pray that you have two strong kidneys, so you don't die in the arms of a woman one day."
Xia Wan's finishing blow showed absolutely no mercy.
Zheng Minghuai's face looked even worse.
Seeing this scene, Xia Huaidong angrily cursed Xia Wan for being such a fool, daring to offend the Zheng family in public!
Isn't this just asking for trouble for the Xia family?
Xia Zhizhi frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought, as she watched Zheng Minghuai's actions.
Just as the two were about to step forward, a figure leaning on a cane walked ahead of them.
Cui Jiyang's deep and authoritative voice came from behind Zheng Minghuai.
"Xia Wan, be careful what you say."
When Cui Jiyang came over, Xia Wan could clearly feel that Cui Ziqi stiffened up.
It's not fear.
Rather, it is a posture of being ready to attack at any time.
She looked up at Cui Ziqi and saw that the man had a gloomy face and his eyes were filled with a hint of murderous intent.
The muscles in his arms were taut, and the smooth lines flowed naturally down. She could feel the bulging veins even through his gloves.
