Wu Zhongcheng trembled with fear at the thought of Xu Tingchuan's background and dared not respond to Xu Tingchuan's words.
Mrs. Wu realized that this young man in front of her was someone they couldn't afford to offend, so she quickly handed Ni Sitian's bag back with both hands, forcing a smile and saying, "It's all my fault for drinking too much and getting confused. The ring was in my own bag. I'm so sorry for wronging Mrs. Xu. It's my fault, my fault. I shouldn't have bumped into Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu, were you hurt when you fell?"
Xu Tingchuan frowned, looked at Ni Sitian, took her hand, and looked down to check her with concern, asking worriedly, "Did you fall?"
Ni Sitian was still a little dazed, not quite understanding why these people were so afraid of Xu Tingchuan, and nodded honestly.
Wu Zhongcheng was so angry he almost collapsed. This woman not only wronged Mrs. Xu, but also made her fall. If she fell seriously, he might as well pack his bags and go back to his hometown to farm tomorrow!
"Where did you fall? Did you also hurt your forehead?" Xu Tingchuan asked repeatedly with concern.
Ni Sitian was too embarrassed to say in front of so many people that her butt hurt, let alone that she bumped her forehead into Qin Mubei. She gently shook her head: "It's just a minor bump, nothing serious."
"Mrs. Xu, we will take full responsibility for any discomfort or loss you may suffer. We will cover whatever compensation you require." Wu Zhongcheng bowed and smiled obsequiously, adopting a very humble posture. He then turned to scold his wife, "How many times have I told you to drink less at the banquet? What if you offend someone? Fortunately, Mrs. Xu is magnanimous and doesn't hold a grudge against a country bumpkin like you!"
Xu Tingchuan narrowed his dark eyes again. This Wu Zhongcheng knew how to talk. He had put Si Tian on a high pedestal in one go. If they continued to argue, it would only make them seem petty and unforgiving.
Unfortunately, he misjudged his temper; he wasn't one to fall for that kind of thing.
"Assistant Yu, call the police," Xu Tingchuan said in a low, somewhat cold voice.
Although the new assistant was still in shock, he reacted quickly and immediately took out his phone to dial a number.
Mrs. Wu was shocked. She was not well-educated and thought that calling the police would mean going to jail. She was so frightened that she lunged at Assistant Yu to snatch his phone!
Caught off guard, Assistant Yu was struck by the massive creature that lunged at him, falling flat on his back. His phone flew off the ground, its screen shattering into pieces!
This unexpected turn of events startled everyone. Everyone knew that Madam Wu was vulgar and despicable, but no one expected that she would dare to pounce on a man in public!
Wu Zhongcheng was also startled and rushed forward to pull her up, but she was too heavy and he couldn't lift her up. Instead, he fell down as well.
At this moment, bursts of suppressed laughter echoed through the banquet hall.
Several security guards rushed over, helped Mrs. Wu up, and helped Assistant Yu to his feet.
Wu Zhongcheng got up on his own, slapped his wife twice, apologized to Xu Tingchuan, trying to distance himself from his wife and beg for Xu Tingchuan's forgiveness.
Xu Tingchuan ignored the couple and went straight to President Fang, saying, "President Fang, this situation now constitutes personal injury. Since it happened on your premises, I'll leave the rest to you. As for the rest, my lawyer will handle it."
Fang Tianhua also looked serious and assured Xu Tingchuan without hesitation, "I will definitely give you an explanation for such an unpleasant incident that happened at the banquet hosted by Wanhua."
After speaking, he gestured to the security guards to take Mrs. Wu to the police station.
