It was not until the girl who had the cake splashed on her face tried to wipe the cream off her face that she finally realized what had happened.
The eyes of the people around her were all focused on this place. She could even hear people whispering around her, and her face almost immediately turned red.
Before this incident, Lan Zhen had always disliked Yan Xixi. Their families were similar, but Yan Xixi was a good student, and the Yan Group had grown faster than hers in recent years.
One of the most unacceptable things in the world is that the person you thought was your competitor has unknowingly surpassed you in everything.
This time, the Yan family's mistaken child incident broke out, and Lan Zhen accepted the invitation and came over, inevitably wanting to watch the fun. However, after running to Yan Xixi to provoke her and failing, he angrily ran to another place to complain to his sisters, but unexpectedly bumped into Yan Chaochao's hand.
Lan Zhen was originally a pampered young lady at home, so she naturally couldn't stand such humiliation. She almost screamed immediately: "Who is it! How dare you throw cake at me! Are you tired of living?!"
After the incident, many of the sisters who were with Lan Zhen immediately stepped aside to check if they were splashed. Only one girl who was dressed very simply stayed beside Lan Zhen and hurriedly handed her a tissue.
The chaos in the corner soon attracted the attention of the guests.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
"This is the Yan Group's dinner party. Who is so blind as to dare to disrupt the event in such an occasion?"
Yan Hongzhuo and Pei Lan, the hosts of the banquet, rushed over as soon as they noticed the commotion. Seeing the chaotic scene, Yan Hongzhuo's face instantly darkened. "What happened?"
In her anger, Lan Zhen didn't even notice who had thrown cake at her. When she saw Yan Hongzhuo and Pei Lan coming over, she acted like she had grabbed a lifeline and immediately started to play the victim: "Uncle Yan, Aunt Yan, I was just chatting peacefully with my sisters, and I didn't expect someone to suddenly throw cake at me..."
But while she was talking, Lan Zhen didn't realize that the "little sisters" who were so affectionate with her just now had unknowingly retreated to the side.
None of the guests watching nearby stood up to speak for her.
While Lan Zhen was speaking, Yan Chaochao leaned elegantly against the bar, looking at Lan Zhen with interest, as if he was watching a free show.
As he spoke, feeling the sticky sensation on his face, Lan Zhen began to feel truly aggrieved. "I didn't expect such a rude person to appear at the Yan family's dinner party. I don't know where he got in from. People like him should be kicked out!"
As he spoke, Lan Zhen raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Yan Chaochao.
The moment she saw the direction of Lan Zhen's finger, Pei Lan grabbed Yan Hongzhuo's arm in surprise. Yan Hongzhuo also frowned slightly and gently patted the back of Pei Lan's hand to calm her down.
Yan Xixi also came here with Yan Hongzhuo and Pei Lan.
When Yan Xixi saw the two people at the center of the incident, a look of surprise immediately flashed in her eyes.
Lan Zhen and she had always been at odds. Before the dinner started, Yan Xixi had already anticipated the situation she might encounter. As soon as the dinner began, Lan Zhen ran up to her and smugly taunted her. However, Yan Xixi didn't tolerate her and directly countered her moves.
However, this was Yan Chaochao's first time attending the Yan family's dinner, and she should have had no previous contact with Lan Zhen.
What's more, Yan Chaochao herself has a harmless personality, so how could she possibly take the initiative to provoke Lan Zhen?
Yan Xixi frowned and subconsciously ruled out the possibility that Yan Chaochao would take the initiative.
The two of them suddenly had a conflict. Could it be that Lan Zhen did something to Yan Chaochao?
Thinking of this, a hint of sharpness suddenly flashed in Yan Xixi's eyes as she looked at Lan Zhen.
After Lan Zhen said that, what greeted her was not comfort or agreement, but a deathly silence.
In such a weird atmosphere, Lan Zhen finally realized that something was wrong. She raised her head and found that Yan Hongzhuo and Pei Lan, who were always kind to everyone, were looking at her with cold eyes.
Yan Hongzhuo looked at Lan Zhen with a cold tone: "Are you sure you didn't do anything? She took the initiative to splash it on you?"
Lan Zhen's gaze swept across Yan Hongzhuo and Pei Lan, and fell on Yan Xixi behind them, and then she suddenly remembered what she had just complained about with her sisters.
A trace of guilt flashed across her eyes, but thinking that this was at a dinner party and no one could testify, she still bravely replied, "Of course!"
After hearing Lan Zhen's words, Yan Hongzhuo and Pei Lan did not believe it.
Although Yan Chaochao had only been home for a short time, Yan Hongzhuo and Pei Lan had met so many people that they had already figured out their own daughter's personality.
According to Yan Chaochao's personality, she would never do such an impulsive thing unless someone provoked her or even touched her bottom line.
Hearing Lan Zhen's words, without waiting for Yan Hongzhuo to speak, Pei Lan's face had already turned cold, which was unusual for him: "My Chao Chao would not do such a thing for no reason."
My family Chao Chao?
Hearing this name, Lan Zhen was stunned for a moment, then finally came to his senses and noticed the girl who had just splashed water on him.
When she turned around and saw the red fishtail skirt, her vision almost went dark immediately.
Lan Zhen's legs went weak and he had to hold on to prevent himself from falling to the ground. He lowered his head in panic, but he couldn't hide the fear in his eyes.
Thinking back to what she had just done, Lan Zhen wanted to go back in time and slap herself twice.
She actually shouted at the Yan Group's banquet, in front of the Yan family couple, that she would kick their biological daughter out...
"For the sake of our past friendship, I'll ask you one last time," Pei Lan looked at Lan Zhen, his eyes filled with cold scrutiny. "What exactly did you do or say just now?"
Even at this point, Lan Zhen still held onto hope and said stubbornly, "I really didn't do anything..."
At this moment, Yan Xixi, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly spoke up: "If you want to know what happened just now, it's very simple. There are surveillance cameras in the lobby on the first floor. If you check the cameras in this area, everything will be clear."
Seeing that they were about to check the surveillance, Lan Zhen's body immediately began to tremble.
The surveillance video was quickly transmitted to Yan Xixi's phone. She clicked on it and everyone around her could clearly hear the surveillance video.
"Isn't Yan Xixi very arrogant? After this, I wonder how she can still act arrogantly in front of me!"
"The Yan family's biological daughter has returned, so why is this uninvited imposter still lingering in the Yan family? Isn't she ashamed?"
"Why else? It's for money, of course..."
Hearing the familiar voice, Lan Zhen finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground. Only two words remained in his mind -
It’s over!
