Guan Qianqian, dressed in a red dress, had exquisite makeup, and every strand of her hair revealed meticulous styling. Her beautiful face now showed a ferocious expression.
"You shameless, despicable woman, how dare you come here to ruin my mood when I'm engaged to Brother Lu?"
The woman opposite her, still dressed in her uniform, looked pitiful and delicate, with soft features, watery eyes filled with tears, and long eyelashes sticking wet with tears.
"Ms. Guan, I just came to take a look, and I didn't work here intentionally. How can you be so aggressive?"
Seeing her sobbing like a little white flower, Guan Qianqian was even more furious. "Me, being aggressive? Who are you trying to impress with this act! Brother Lu isn't here, you don't need to put on such a show."
Shen Xia looked up at Guan Qianqian, who was half a head taller than her.
Compared to the domineering and meticulously dressed Guan Qianqian, the light-colored, bare-faced, petite and delicate Shen Xia gives off a much more innocent vibe, which can arouse the protective instincts of a group of male chauvinists.
Although everyone present was an acquaintance, there was always one brainless person who acted impulsively for the sake of a beautiful woman.
"Miss Guan, today is a special day. I'm telling you, don't get too angry. He's just an ordinary waiter."
Guan Qianqian angrily turned to look at the person who spoke. It was someone she knew, but he was a good-for-nothing playboy.
Mind your own business! It's none of your concern!
The man felt humiliated and angrily took two steps forward, pointing at her. "What do you mean! How dare you talk to me like that?"
Those around were speechless. Why were you meddling in other people's business? And now you have the nerve to question me? Aren't you just asking for trouble?
Sure enough, Guan Qianqian wasn't good-tempered either. Everyone knew her personality; she went up and slapped away the hand that was pointing at her.
"You don't even know your own limitations, daring to point at me like that. What, you feel sorry for this bitch? Are you having an affair with her? Otherwise, why are you helping her like this?"
"You think you're right to bully others? Guan Qianqian, don't be so ungrateful!"
Guan Qianqian wasn't afraid of this playboy at all. His company wasn't as big as hers, and he was only here because of their fathers' connections.
Not only do they not know how to behave properly, but they also dare to be so arrogant. Do they really think everyone here is in the same circle as them?
She suddenly curled her red lips and whispered to him, "With your small company, I'd like to see where you get the audacity to be so arrogant."
As if struck by lightning, the man was momentarily flustered. He knew Guan Qianqian's temper, of course, but when he saw Chen Xia's pitiful appearance, he acted impulsively and spoke up for her.
His lips trembled for a long time, but he didn't say anything more. Guan Qianqian had already ignored him.
He felt humiliated and awkwardly left the place.
I thought they were something special, but they just shrank back like that, leaving Shi Xing speechless.
Ren Anran whispered in her ear, "This family's company isn't big, and they have to rely on the Guan family for development. I didn't expect them to offend Guan Qianqian here. I don't know what they were thinking. They're really bold."
Shi Xing nodded in agreement, "Judging from his tone, I thought his family was very powerful. He's just putting on a show, suffering for the sake of saving face. He doesn't even know Shen Xia, does he? How can he be so righteous?"
"Tch, his brain is full of women's garbage. He just wants to win Chen Xia's favor because she's pretty."
They didn't say anything more, since there were quite a few people around and the venue wasn't suitable.
Shen Xia's eyes were red and she looked aggrieved, her voice soft and gentle as she spoke.
“Miss Guan, that gentleman and I are innocent. How can you say such things about him? He meant well. Besides, I wish you and Mr. Lu all the best. You don’t need to be so agitated.”
Ren Anran rubbed the goosebumps on her hands.
Shi Xing asked her curiously, "Is your friend like that too?"
"How could that be? She's genuinely gentle and intellectual, and not that type at all. She loves fitness and isn't weak at all," Ren Anran retorted disdainfully for her friend.
"Well, that's not a proper imitation either."
"That's true."
Guan Qianqian couldn't stand her looking like she was being bullied.
"Get out of here and don't show your face again!"
However, Shen Xia shook her head in opposition, standing firmly in place.
“This isn’t your home, why are you asking me to leave? I want to stay here and give Mr. Lu my final blessings.”
As she spoke, her hand unconsciously touched her flat stomach.
Her heart ached terribly, as if it were being torn apart, but she was helpless.
Their relationship started with just a contract; she wanted too much, she was too greedy.
Despite having prepared herself mentally, she still couldn't control her still passionately beating heart.
She has let them down.
Thinking of this, Chen Xia felt wronged and shed hot tears.
When they saw her tears suddenly fall like pearls, everyone in the circle was stunned for a long time.
Shi Xing: What's wrong with these sisters? Their tear ducts are so well-developed.
Guan Qianqian couldn't hold back any longer. She was so angry that her fingertips trembled, and her good mood about the engagement vanished without a trace.
With a snap.
Everyone was surprised, yet it seemed to be an understandable feeling.
I knew it, this seems to fit her persona.
For some reason, Shi Xing felt good about it.
Ren Anran felt the same way.
Although she didn't particularly like Guan Qianqian, no one would be happy to see such a scene at someone's engagement party.
Guan Qianqian's actions were reasonable.
Shen Xia staggered back a few steps, covering her burning cheeks in disbelief and indignation.
"Miss Guan, what right do you have to hit me!"
Guan Qianqian felt a moment of relief. "You just want money, right? I'll give you money, but you have to stay away from Brother Lu."
"That's not true! I'm not doing this for the money, how dare you insult me!"
Meanwhile, the girl who was gossiping with them scoffed and muttered under her breath, "It's not like they're confiscating the 500,000 a month."
It was quiet now, and everyone could hear the muttering.
Shi Xing recognized her as Lu Yihuan, the one who had told them that Shen Xia's monthly salary was 500,000.
She thought about it and realized that since they shared the same surname, Lu, she and Lu Yanting seemed to be from the same family.
She hadn't thought much about it before, but now that she remembered, Lu Yihuan was Lu Yanting's sister!
No wonder she didn't know any of this; she was gossiping about her own brother with everyone else, and even had a disgusted expression on her face.
Shen Xia looked hurt. "I had no choice."
The people around looked like they were enjoying the gossip. Everyone here knew that Lu Yihuan was Lu Yanting's sister, so what she said had a certain degree of truth to it.
Guan Qianqian was so angry she gritted her teeth.
"Forced to do something against your will? I think you like it a lot. Stop pretending and making people sick. Get out of here!"
Shen Xia covered her face and started sobbing.
Everyone's just watching the show, and it's not appropriate to meddle in other people's business.
Some people also felt sorry for her, believing that Guan Qianqian was indeed aggressive, but they dared not stand up for her, given the precedent.
"What are you doing!" a male voice suddenly rang out.
