Xue Ziqi looked like she was making a warm invitation, but everyone present was smart and could immediately detect a provocation in her tone.
"Zi Qi." Cheng Ruolin called in a low voice, with worry in her eyes, trying to stop her.
"It's okay, Sister Ruolin, we're just sparring."
Xue Ziqi said with a forced smile.
That old woman named Mu, some kind of performer, is just a folk music teacher. She's so unsophisticated, nothing to show for it. And yet she's having the nerve to go on a world tour, like, no shame! How good can someone taught by such a nerdy old-fashioned person be? She can only play a few cheesy drums. She's probably never even touched a Steinway piano, right?
Today she was going to humiliate Wen Xi, the female gangster, in front of everyone!
"Hey, He Er, that rascal Xue Ziqi has picked on you, don't you care?"
While Chizhou was giving Zhuang Yi some sobering soup, he turned around and shouted to the man next to him.
He felt that he was really worried to death.
Neither of my childhood friends is a worry to me.
He Tingyan closed the file, looked up at Wen Xi, and said calmly, "No need, she can handle it."
He had seen the girl shine on the stage with his own eyes.
No one shines brighter than her.
As soon as Xue Ziqi opened her mouth, everyone followed her gaze and looked towards Wen Xi.
"Isn't this the girl who just came in with Mr. He?"
"Tsk, what kind of competition? I think this is just a case of jealousy between rivals."
In the past few years, Xue Ziqi has been openly pursuing He Tingyan, sending him gifts and pretending to meet him by chance. It can be said that everyone in the socialite circle knows about it.
"Is this woman's surname Wen? Is she from the Wen family? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"You were still young at the time and it's normal that you didn't know. This woman's family was driven out by the Wen family a long time ago."
"Why?"
"Her father murdered his brother to seize power. The news spread all over Beijing at the time."
"Oh my god, why would Mr. He be with the daughter of such a criminal?"
"What kind of criminal is that? The perpetrator wasn't caught back then because there wasn't enough evidence. Even if he was the most likely suspect, so what? He didn't even go to jail. He's now a mining businessman, living a comfortable life."
"God has no eyes."
"How vicious would a daughter raised by someone like that be?"
"You can't say that. Wasn't there no evidence for what happened back then? Maybe he was wrongly accused."
"Whether it's an injustice or not is another matter," someone sneered, "Every family has their share of dirty deeds, but they just haven't been exposed."
Everyone was talking in low voices, and their gazes towards Wen Xi were much more complicated than before.
Wen Xi's expression was calm. He looked sarcastically at the woman not far away who was enthusiastically explaining the past to others and said, "Madam, what era is this now? Are you ignorant of the law for spreading rumors and sentencing people?"
"I...how did I spread rumors? This is exactly what happened."
"Oh, really? Even the police haven't convicted my father, but you, lady, are so sure. Could it be that you're even more perceptive than them and have discovered some new evidence?"
“Hey, I…”
The woman was so shocked that she stammered and couldn't speak.
Just as she was about to argue, she heard a "bang" and Mr. He slammed the tea bowl onto the table and glared at the woman.
Immediately, two men in black suits walked over and dragged the man out.
The woman was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word the whole time.
"Xi girl is a distinguished guest of our He family, and I trust her father's character." Old Master He glanced at the whole audience with a fierce look, his eyes extremely sharp. "Listen up, everyone! If anyone dares to say anything against them in the future, they will be an enemy of our He family!"
