Wu Youyou's body stiffened abruptly, and when she looked up, she saw Wei Zhibin standing in front of her.
Now that Liu Xiaolan had left safely, she was no longer afraid of him, and her clear and loud voice rang out.
"What do you want with me?"
Wei Zhibin sneered and said,
"You're my dance partner tonight, you should stay by my side!"
After he finished speaking, he reached out to pull Wu Youyou.
This sudden action made Wu Youyou instinctively raise her hand and slap him.
Instantly, the entire venue fell silent.
Everyone turned to look, and just then they saw Wu Youyou slap Wei Zhibin across the face like a whirlwind. They were all stunned, staring at her as if they were clay sculptures.
This scene was witnessed by Shi Zhan and Wei Ziyao, who happened to be walking over.
Wei Ziyao stepped forward, her eyes sharp as knives, and shouted angrily at Wu Youyou.
"Are you crazy? How dare you hit my brother!"
The murderous intent in Wei Zhibin's eyes surged forth like a burst dam. He licked his slapped cheek and roared angrily.
"You filthy bitch, how dare you hit me!"
"That's exactly what I'm going to do!"
Tang Chuxuan stepped forward and strode quickly to Wu Youyou's side like an arrow, pulling her tightly into his arms. He exuded an aura of majesty, as if the entire space was enveloped by his authority.
Wu Youyou subconsciously looked at Shi Zhan and found that his expression was cold, like ice that had been frozen for thousands of years. It seemed that a huge volcano was about to erupt inside him, as if he could turn the people around him into ashes in the next second.
Wei Zhibin then seemed to wake from a dream, looking at everything in disbelief.
"Young Master Tang, this matter has nothing to do with you, you'd better not get involved!"
Before Tang Chuxuan could speak, Shi Zhan spoke first.
"It has nothing to do with him!"
Wu Youyou didn't know when, but Shi Zhan had already pulled her away from Tang Chuxuan's arms like a chick.
Her arm was gripped tightly by a large hand like an iron clamp, causing her excruciating pain.
"It hurts, Shi Zhan, let go!"
Shi Zhan then realized how much force he had used; he had been extremely angry.
He looked at Wu Youyou and loosened his grip slightly, and her expression gradually returned to calm.
"Shi Zhan, what are you getting involved in now?"
Wei Zhibin became even angrier.
Tang Chuxuan looked at his empty arms, as if he had lost the most precious treasure in the world, and instantly frowned.
"Shi Zhan, you're the first person to snatch someone from my arms!"
The power emanating from Shi Zhan's cold eyes was like a black hole in the universe, seemingly about to devour everyone present.
His cold voice echoed in the space.
"You can't touch her!"
A flame of jealousy burned in Wei Ziyao's eyes as she murmured softly,
"Shi Zhan, today is my birthday, how could you treat me like this!"
Wu Youyou looked at Shi Zhan in surprise. He actually said such a thing in front of everyone!
Tang Chuxuan sat down with great interest, his gaze deep and mysterious, a mocking smile gradually creeping onto his lips.
"My beauty, you are truly charming enough to make the eldest young master of the Shi family do such a foolish thing for you."
Shi Zhan naturally understood the meaning behind Tang Chuxuan's words. The marriage between the Shi family and the Wei family was a necessity of the times. His current actions were indeed somewhat foolish, but he did not regret it.
Just now, he received a call from Song Shaojie, who told him the purpose of Wei Zhibin kidnapping Wu Youyou. That's why he rushed over like lightning.
I happened to see Wei Zhibin get slapped by Wu Youyou.
Given Wei Zhibin's treacherous and ruthless nature, he would never let Wu Youyou go, so he had to step forward to protect her!
As he expected, Wei Zhibin turned his gaze to him and said through gritted teeth,
"Shi Zhan, you've finally arrived. Shouldn't we settle our scores? Was it you who exposed me, which led to my disgrace?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Zhan's expression did not change much, as if he had already expected Wei Zhibin to point the finger of suspicion at him. But when had Shi Zhan ever been afraid!
"Whether I did it or not, produce the evidence. If you don't have evidence, please don't make up stories!"
Wei Zhibin was furious. If he had evidence, why would he need to ask in person?
At this crucial moment when the two families are about to unite in marriage, it would be best for him not to create any unnecessary complications, especially with the uninvited guest, Tang Chuxuan.
Faced with Wu Youyou, he could only swallow his anger and wait for the right opportunity. When the time was right, he vowed to get Wu Youyou and make her submit to his desires.
He tried his best to calm himself down before speaking slowly and deliberately.
"Wu Youyou, it seems you can't be my dance partner today. I'll definitely choose another auspicious day to spend some wonderful time with you!"
Upon hearing his words, Wu Youyou's brows furrowed tightly, and she glared at him angrily, saying with disgust,
"Young Master Wei might be interested in men, but I'm not worthy of your time!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuxuan couldn't help but burst into laughter. What a quick-witted girl!
Wei Zhibin stared fiercely at Wu Youyou, wishing he could grab her immediately and torture her at will.
Left with no other choice, he could only close his eyes tightly and force himself to swallow this humiliation.
He then snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Wei Ziyao stared at Shi Zhan with tears in her eyes, her voice pleading.
"Brother Shi Zhan, today is my birthday, and you're my date. Will you come with me?"
This was the first time Wu Youyou had ever seen the proud princess so humble.
Shi Zhan looked at her coldly and said indifferently,
"I'm sorry, I have to leave now."
After saying that, he took Wu Youyou's hand and prepared to turn and leave!
"You dare!"
An old and deep voice came from behind.
Shi Zhan's body suddenly stiffened. He didn't need to turn around to know that his grandfather had arrived.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on Wu Youyou's hand, and Wu Youyou could clearly feel Shi Zhan's tension and anger.
Grandpa Shi walked over, supported by Shi Yuan.
Tang Chuxuan couldn't help but laugh as he watched this amusing scene.
"Wow, this is quite a lively day! Beauty, you'd better not cause any trouble and come over here quickly."
Wu Youyou frowned even more deeply upon hearing Tang Chuxuan's sarcastic remarks.
When Grandpa Shi discovered that the Tang family's son was also present, his attitude immediately became extremely polite.
"Chu Xuan is here too? You're laughing at him. Your cousin is really outrageous, and you didn't even try to stop him!"
"Grandpa Shi, my cousin is taking my girlfriend away, and I'm really upset about it!"
Tang Chuxuan's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the crowd.
Old Master Shi's face instantly turned ashen.
