In an instant, the scene descended into chaos. Some people screamed, some shouted, and some rushed forward to pin Zhang Huihui to the ground.
The overturned table blocked most of the sulfuric acid that was splashed towards Wu Youyou, but some of the liquid splattered onto the guests, causing them to scream in pain.
"Ouch~ that hurts..."
The guests, realizing what had happened, gasped in surprise.
"It's sulfuric acid!"
Everyone panicked instantly.
Everyone saw that the white cloth on the table was corroded beyond recognition, and they all stepped back, afraid that the liquid would splash on them.
"This woman is so vicious! She threw sulfuric acid at the Wu family's daughter! Subdue her immediately!"
Someone shouted loudly from the side, and the security guards who ran back immediately restrained Zhang Huihui on the spot, making her unable to move.
In her panic, Wu Youyou was held tightly in Shi Zhan's arms. She felt a faint sandalwood scent enter her nose, which instantly calmed her down.
Shi Zhan looked at Wu Youyou anxiously, and seeing that she was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief. He whispered in Wu Youyou's ear,
"You're alright, don't be afraid!"
A surge of heat shot up Wu Youyou's back from her ear. The soft voice made her body tremble, and she instantly felt hot all over, her ears turning bright red.
She recognized the voice immediately; it was Shi Zhan's voice!
Didn't he say he wouldn't be attending his own birthday party? So why is he here now?
And he even saved her. Wu Youyou couldn't help but turn back to look at Shi Zhan. Although he was wearing a mask, she could still see those familiar eyes through it—deep and cold, like a frozen pool in winter. But today, those deep eyes held a fiery tenderness, leaving her speechless for a moment.
"Shi—Shi Zhan, it's you?"
"If I hadn't come, something terrible might have happened!"
Wu Youyou was overjoyed for some reason. He really came to her birthday party, which meant that he wasn't angry with her anymore.
Thinking of this, Wu Youyou was very happy. Fortunately, Shi Zhan came to her rescue during this crisis; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Shi Zhan—I'm fine, help me up!"
"Um!"
As Shi Zhan stood up, he helped Wu Youyou up as well.
Liu Xiaolan, who rushed over, was almost scared out of her wits. She stepped forward to check if Wu Youyou was injured, her face filled with anxiety as she looked at Wu Youyou.
"Youyou, let me check carefully, see if she's been splashed with sulfuric acid!"
"Yes, take a closer look!"
Yang Min looked at Wu Youyou with the same anxious expression.
"I'm alright, thanks to Shi Zhan for saving me!"
Wu Youyou looked at Shi Zhan with gratitude, her cheeks still slightly flushed.
Only Song Shaojie kept staring at Shi Zhan's shoulder, where there were several holes corroded by sulfuric acid, and the skin inside had been corroded into the flesh.
Shi Zhan didn't react at all; his patience was truly extraordinary. When he realized that Song Shaojie was about to speak, he made a shushing gesture to Song Shaojie.
Song Shaojie pursed his lips in distress, muttering to himself, "Stubborn as a mule, still saying he doesn't like her!"
At this moment, the commotion also caught Wu Zhenyuan's attention. He strode over, and after understanding the situation, he angrily rebuked Zhang Huihui, his voice filling the entire banquet hall.
"Tell me, who sent you? How dare you hurt my daughter!"
Zhang Huihui burst into laughter, then roared at Wu Youyou like a madwoman.
"Wu Youyou, you bitch! If you hadn't called the police, things wouldn't have gotten to this point. It's all your fault that I've lost everything. I hate you, I hate you so much! Why don't you just die!"
Wu Zhenyuan then learned from his classmates that the person in front of him was the one who framed his daughter for stealing the jade bracelet.
Wu Zhenyuan flew into a rage, staring at Zhang Huihui with a mocking gaze.
"You're the one who framed Youyou for stealing someone else's jade bracelet! Humph! Don't you even know that our Wu family doesn't look like we can't afford a small jade bracelet? From childhood to adulthood, her jewelry box has been filled with jade bracelets, each worth millions, even tens of millions. Why would she even look at something worth a mere few hundred thousand? You framed someone without even doing a background check? You're really as stupid as a pig!"
People at the scene all criticized Zhang Huihui. They came to Wu Youyou's birthday party and saw with their own eyes that the Wu family had even invited a big star like Wei Zhibin. Their strength was beyond their imagination. Even if they had some doubts about the possibility of Wu Youyou stealing the jade bracelet at first, after hearing Wu Zhenyuan's reprimand, they no longer had any thoughts about whether Wu Youyou had stolen it.
The other bosses all came over to watch the excitement, including Chen Liang's father, Chen Guozhong.
Chen Guozhong had brought a generous gift to apologize for the trouble his son had caused him. He had just started talking to Wu Zhenyuan when he was drawn to the sulfuric acid incident.
Chen Guozhong immediately looked at Zhang Huihui with a very unfriendly gaze, thinking that she had ruined his good time.
Zhang Huihui tried to struggle in the hands of the security guard, but she couldn't budge. Her eyes were full of resentment as she looked at Wu Zhenyuan.
Wu Zhenyuan looked at her with disdain, his voice stern.
"Tell me, who sent you?"
"No one sent me; I came of my own accord!"
Chen Guozhong looked at Zhang Huihui, who was stubbornly refusing to admit her mistake, and her right eyelid kept twitching. He had a bad feeling about this.
At this moment, Shi Zhan stepped forward, glanced coldly at Zhang Huihui, then turned to look at Wu Zhenyuan, his calm voice ringing out.
"Uncle, she secretly met with Chen Liang before coming in!"
