These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among those present.
After all, the news of Song Mai's pregnancy had spread like wildfire online. Although everyone had their doubts, no one dared to speak out in public.
Liu Jiaer's fearless and direct statement drew everyone's attention to Song Mai.
Song Mai smiled without saying a word, looking at Chu Yunxing provocatively.
"Miss Bai, it's alright, everyone will wish you all the best."
After saying this, Liu Jiaer glanced at Chen Nianyao, who was walking towards her not far away, her face full of anticipation.
After hesitating for a moment, Song Mai nodded casually: "You're right, a good relationship will naturally receive everyone's blessings. But is happiness obtained through other means truly happiness?"
This statement further implies that Liu Jia'er is dishonest.
Everyone here today is from the same circle, so they naturally understand the meaning behind the words of these people.
Chen Nianyao walked up to Song Mai, raised her hand, and prepared to slap her.
Since there are no cameras pointed at me right now, I don't need to worry about my image.
Song Mai did not dodge; she knew that Shen Xiujing would definitely stop her.
As expected, Shen Xiujing angrily grabbed Chen Nianyao's hand and whispered angrily, "Are you crazy?"
"How could I be crazy? I think you're the one who's crazy." Chen Nianyao's chest heaved with anger. "You actually had a child with this woman, you have no shame whatsoever."
Everyone present gasped involuntarily, afraid to speak for a moment lest they interrupt the standoff between the individuals.
Shen Xiujing smiled sarcastically: "What, is spreading rumors a skill you were born with?"
Chen Nianyao didn't speak, but coldly frowned.
The person she had always loved never reciprocated her feelings, and now he was protecting another girl and publicly attacking her.
Such a scene undoubtedly trampled her self-esteem underfoot; the status she thought she possessed was now utterly insignificant.
Everyone present could easily overshadow her presence.
If she hadn't climbed to her current position through countless means over the years, she probably wouldn't have been able to get in here now.
But it is precisely because their success was hard-won that they subconsciously believe they should be praised by everyone.
In her mind, among everyone here, only Song Mai's background was worse than hers.
She brazenly contacted the media to spread rumors, even hoping to slap her in the face on this occasion.
The original intention was to make Shen Xiujing realize Song Mai's true colors, but unexpectedly, he completely disregarded everyone's expressions and wholeheartedly protected Song Mai.
Chen Nianyao was unwilling to accept this, so she decided to give up and do whatever she wanted.
"Photos of her going in and out of the hospital for checkups have already been posted online. Could it be that I'm spreading rumors?" Chen Nianyao turned to look at everyone, pointing a finger at Song Mai. "This woman seduced Young Master Shen, causing him to be deceived until now."
"You say I seduced him, what evidence do you have?" Song Mai was eagerly anticipating her next statement.
Chen Nianyao stammered and couldn't say anything for a moment.
She had no evidence and didn't know how to refute it.
After all, everything he said was a lie, and he wanted to make Song Mai feel ashamed.
But no one in this world would admit to making things up, especially when facing a rival in love.
“What evidence do I need? If it weren’t for you, we would be on a sweet date right now, instead of watching you put on a show here,” Chen Nianyao said, getting more and more excited.
"Your first child was fatherless, and now your second child is probably also an illegitimate child whose father is unknown. Can you guarantee that this child is Young Master Shen's, or are you pregnant with someone else's child and trying to cuckold Young Master Shen?"
Shenxiu Jingqi's face turned ashen.
He understood his relationship with Song Mai, and the fact that the rumors about him had spread to such an extreme degree was intolerable to him.
Seeing that he remained silent, Chen Nianyao thought that her words had shaken him, and a smug smile appeared on her face.
She deliberately feigned a magnanimous demeanor and said with a smile, "Xiujing, as long as you return to my side now, I can forgive and forget what happened during this time. It was this woman who deceived you, not your fault."
She then smugly provoked Song Mai, saying, "If you want to marry into a wealthy family with someone else's child, you should first consider whether you are worthy."
These words undoubtedly struck Liu Jia'er's heart hard.
Although she understood that Chen Nianyao's target was not her, Ji Fenghe was also present.
Looking at Jifeng and the mocking smile on his lips, Liu Jia'er knew he was laughing at her.
Liu Jia'er's pride prevented her from listening to Chen Nianyao any further, so she interrupted her.
"Alright, it doesn't matter whose child it is, it has nothing to do with today's party. Today is the day Ah Xing is discharged from the hospital, and I specially invited everyone here to celebrate this happy occasion." Liu Jiaer quickly changed the subject.
Just then, Shen Que suddenly came to Chu Yunxing's side.
She spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft: "Master Yun, Young Master Yuan has arrived. Should we invite him in?"
Chu Yunxing gave Shen Que a meaningful look.
Shen Que lowered her eyes guiltily. She knew that Chu Yunxing already understood that she and Song Mai had conspired together, but the important thing right now was not how to regain her position in Chu Yunxing's heart.
She secretly drew an OK sign to Song Mai, and after obtaining Chu Yunxing's consent, she brought Yuan Yun into the party.
At the same time, Lin Ran and Jiang Jibai also hurriedly arrived at the entrance of the party venue.
Jiang Jibai looked at her with heartache and reached out to support her, saying, "Walk slowly, your health is important."
“What else can I do? Mai is being blamed by everyone. If it weren’t for me asking her to accompany me to the hospital, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Jiang Jibai sighed helplessly and could only hurry over with her.
"I'm sorry I'm late. I haven't been feeling well lately, and I only found out about my pregnancy these past two days. I hope everyone will understand."
Upon hearing this, Song Mai's eyes showed a hint of heartache.
It takes immense courage to publicly admit to being pregnant out of wedlock. Now, Lin Ran is willing to sacrifice her reputation in order to clear herself of suspicion.
Chen Nianyao also looked down on Lin Ran and wanted to vent her anger on her.
"You're pregnant too? Looks like these are the perfect time to get pregnant."
Lin Ran, unusually good-natured, retorted, "You must have misunderstood that Mai Zi is pregnant too. Actually, she accompanied me to a prenatal checkup and was secretly photographed by some shameless person. I feel really bad for causing Mai Zi so much trouble."
"Who are you insulting?" Chen Nianyao retorted immediately, clearly annoyed.
