"Sorry? My dress is all wet and you just say sorry and that's it? Do you even know how much this dress cost!"
The commotion immediately attracted the attention of those around her, who all craned their necks to look at her and began to whisper among themselves.
"Isn't that Xia Bingqing, the eldest daughter of the Xia family? What's wrong with her? Why is she making such a fuss? She has no manners at all."
"Hey, this woman used to be Mu Nanxun's fiancée. What good can come of two fiancées bumping into each other? It's a miracle they didn't fight."
"What? Didn't you see there was a waiter next to her? I guess her ex-fiancé is marrying someone else now, and she's upset about it, so she's taking it out on the waiter."
"Sigh, this young lady, I still think she's the same high and mighty young lady she used to be. The Xia family has lost a lot of business recently, and they've long lost their former glory."
"..."
Unable to bear the stares of the crowd, Xia Bingqing gradually calmed down, straightened her clothes, pushed the waiter aside, and muttered something under her breath.
"Consider yourself lucky this time!"
Then he walked towards the restroom without looking back.
The way to the restroom involves walking through a long corridor.
At this moment, almost everyone was gathered in the hall to celebrate Yi Yi and Mu Nanxun, and there was no one in the corridor.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like there was a faint sound of footsteps following her the whole way.
This made her feel somewhat scared and nervous.
She quickened her pace and noticed that footsteps were following closely behind.
As she slowed down, the footsteps behind her also slowed down.
It seemed like she was just a few meters behind her.
But when she turned around, she found nothing there.
"Yes, who is it? Who is following me?"
She mustered her courage and asked, her voice trembling.
However, only her own voice echoed in the corridor.
It must be psychological, it must be!
Xia Bingqing clutched her chest, barely daring to breathe. She stood there waiting for a while, but nothing happened, and no one appeared.
She then calmed herself down a bit and continued walking towards the restroom.
The footsteps behind her continued, following closely behind.
As she walked, she slowly reached into her handbag.
She had her phone in her bag and planned to call the police when the time was right.
However, just as her hand reached into her bag and her fingertips touched her phone, she was dragged by a tremendous force from behind towards a nearby room.
"Ugh, help..."
She tried to open her mouth to call for help, but a large hand quickly covered her mouth tightly, preventing her from making a sound.
During the struggle, the handbag fell to the ground, scattering its contents everywhere.
"Bang!"
The door slammed shut.
The entire room was dark, with no lights on.
He then released Xia Bingqing's hand and pinned her against the corner of the wall.
"Who are you, and what do you want?!"
She gasped for breath and asked hesitantly. Although she couldn't see the man's face clearly, judging from his physique, he should be a burly man.
The man snorted and flicked open the lighter.
The faint light from the lighter flickered between the two of them, and only then could she see his face clearly!
His entire face was covered with scars of all sizes, which looked like twisted earthworms of different sizes. His eyes were wide open with a fierce look, which was terrifying!
