Even Chu Chu never expected that Nan Zhi would marry Shen Xing Mian. Now, the topic of Nan Zhi being kept by a sugar daddy is completely debunked.
"The head of the Shen family is actually married? My God."
"This is probably the biggest news I've heard this year."
"Luckily I didn't say anything about Nam Gyi before, otherwise I would have been in trouble."
Not everyone enjoys gossiping. Some people are very cautious, simply listening to others' discussions with a smile without interrupting, keeping to themselves as if it's none of their business.
"I don't know who spread this rumor, but they're probably in for it now."
The topic of being kept by a sugar daddy wasn't spread by Li Weiwei, but hearing the discussions around her and Shen Xingmian's insistence on pursuing the matter made her feel uneasy.
She herself made those claims that Nan Zhi used connections to get into university and stole other people's boyfriends.
If Shen Xingmian were to investigate, wouldn't she be in trouble?
Just as she was feeling scared, Lian Chuchu, who was beside her, grasped her hand and spoke earnestly and worriedly:
"Weiwei, if they find out, just blame it on me. Anyway, I'm a member of the Lian family, so they won't dare to do anything to me."
Li Weiwei shook her head, "No, Sister Chuchu, this has nothing to do with you. What if it makes your father dislike you because of me?"
Lian Chuchu's brows were filled with tenderness. "It's okay. It's just going back to our old life. You're my good sister, and you're doing this for my own good. I can't let you get into danger."
She was so considerate of Li Weiwei, how could Li Weiwei not be moved?
"You finally got to know your father, how can I let you take the blame for me? Sister Chuchu, don't worry, no matter how powerful they are, they can't take my life."
After Lian Chuchu's words, Li Weiwei's fear lessened, and she felt a sense of peace, believing that even if she died, she would die a worthy death.
Lian Chuchu covered her mouth, her eyes stinging, and tears streamed down her face without warning. "Weiwei, you've been so good to me, how can I ever repay you?"
Li Weiwei gave a silly smile, "Sister Chuchu, I don't need you to repay me. I'm happy as long as you're doing well."
"Weiwei, don't worry. If the investigation really leads to you, I won't stand idly by. I'll ask Dad or Feifan for help."
Lian Chuchu held Li Weiwei's hands tightly and choked out her promise.
Li Weiwei nodded emphatically, "Thank you, Sister Chuchu."
The women who had just been holding Bai Yarou were shocked when they heard that Shen Xingmian and Nan Zhi were husband and wife. Even if Nan Zhi was just a pretty face, she was still the wife of the Shen family. How could their family possibly compete with the Shen family?
So he quickly apologized to Nam Gyi.
"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. Please, have mercy on me."
"It was my foul mouth, Madam Shen. Please forgive me. I will never do it again."
"I, I will definitely correct my mistakes. If anyone speaks ill of you in the future, I will be the first to get back at them."
......
They all bowed their heads and apologized to Nan Zhi, fearing that if she pursued the matter, it would cause chaos in their household.
Nan Zhi glanced indifferently at the group and said slowly:
"You're apologizing now only because I'm a member of the Shen family. If I weren't, would you admit your mistakes so quickly? Obviously not. I don't think your apology is sincere enough. Besides, it's a fact that you bullied my mother. Do you expect me to forgive you?"
The women were speechless. If you weren't Shen Xingmian's wife, how could they possibly lower themselves to apologize to a little girl with no power?
But they couldn't say that. Right now, they only hoped that Nam Chi would let them go, so that their families wouldn't suffer.
Nan Zhi was not angry because they spoke ill of her, but because they hit Bai Ya Rou.
If we only talk about the bad things about her, most of the women here would be among them; if we count them that way, there are simply too many to count.
Only these five people bullied Bai Yarou.
"How about this, you apologize to my mother in front of everyone, and then leave. If that happens, perhaps we won't pursue the matter further."
Upon hearing this, the ladies hesitated for a moment. When they learned that Bai Yarou was Nan Zhi's mother, they understood her identity. They guessed that she was able to come here today thanks to the Shen family.
Apologizing to the Shen family was a last resort, but apologizing to someone as lowly as Bai Yarou, especially in front of so many people, was something they absolutely refused to do.
"What? You don't want to?"
Nan Zhi curled her lips into a faint smile, but there was no warmth in her eyes.
"Madam Shen, we can go and apologize, but in front of so many people, isn't that...?"
They are all nobles with a certain status, and they still have to maintain their dignity in the future. How could they lower themselves to such a low level?
"Then there's no need to apologize, just get out of here."
Shen Xingmian's eyes flashed with a cold light as she spoke directly, her face dark and ugly.
The woman who hit Bai Yarou muttered under her breath:
"This isn't your Shen family's territory, what right do you have to interfere?"
Although it was just a muttered remark, the words still reached everyone's ears, and they couldn't help but think that what he said made sense. They weren't from the Shen family, so what right did they have?
Her arrogance, stemming solely from marrying into a wealthy family, certainly displeased those present.
"If he's not qualified, then what about me?"
Xu Chaoci stepped forward, his entire demeanor cold. He stared at the muttering woman, his eyes gleaming with an undisguised chill.
The woman did not recognize Xu Chaoci at that moment, and Xu Chaoci had not introduced himself yet, but had only been talking to the male guests.
"Who are you? I don't know you."
She spoke with a somewhat reckless attitude.
"Slap!" A slightly overweight man walked up to the woman, raised his hand, and slapped her across the face. While the woman was still in shock, the man angrily said:
"Hurry up and apologize. That's Mr. Xu, the host of this banquet."
The woman covered her face, her expression one of utter disbelief. "How is this possible?"
The man was her husband, and at that moment he hated his wife to death; she had really gotten herself into a lot of trouble today.
"What's impossible? You'd better apologize properly, or I'll deal with you when we get home tonight."
The woman's face turned pale instantly, and she hurriedly bowed to Xu Chaoci to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was blind to your greatness, I hope you won't hold it against me."
Xu Chaoci's expression was indifferent. "There's no need for an apology. Our Xu family is too small to accommodate someone as important as you."
He didn't hold back at all. The man had originally thought he could get a good deal this time, but he never expected that his wife would offend him.
At this moment, he wisely stopped talking and rudely pulled the lady away.
The others were at a loss when they saw that the host had come forward.
"Mr. Xu, you are being far too unreasonable. So many people here have just been talking about Miss Nan. Are you going to kick them all out? Why not just not invite them in the first place?"
