Meng Sangsang ran forward, lifting her skirt, pushed Emily aside, and then helped Su Li up.
Su Li's dress was dirty, but she wasn't as disheveled as Ai Meili, who had a bottle of wine smashed directly on her.
Su Li, supporting her aching back, preemptively said, "Miss Ai, today is such an important occasion, please don't cause trouble, okay? I know you've always misunderstood me, but please don't go crazy here, okay?"
Emily sat on the ground, looking at her disheveled appearance, so angry she almost choked.
The two fell together, and Su Li cushioned her fall, so no one dared to say anything to Su Li after that.
The situation instantly reversed, and Su Li became Ai Meili's savior.
If Emily continues to act up, she'll be ungrateful and just asking for trouble.
Emily was furious but dared not speak out; she was so angry she was speechless.
The commotion below was witnessed by the two people upstairs.
The man's tall figure stood on the balcony, holding a wine glass in one hand, coldly gazing down below.
Qin Xuan walked to his side and leaned against the railing, standing at an angle. "Secretary Su, you specially invited her here, right? What exactly do you want to do tonight?"
"I didn't intend to do anything."
"I don't believe it. I heard you were planning to give Secretary Su to Bart. You wouldn't be thinking of doing it tonight..."
Quan Ye gave him a cold look. "You think you have too many things to do, so you have time to meddle in my business?"
Qin Xuan shrugged with a grin and said, "Anyway, my problems are nothing special, at most it's just being pressured to get married. But your problems are much bigger. Bart is no simple man. Even I, who don't deal with him much, have heard about some of his recent 'actions' in Haicheng."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
“Gambling, prostitution, drugs… he’s done all sorts of things that are even remotely related to the law. I have people under me who have dealt with him. I heard that a few days ago he went to a casino and smashed all their equipment. He also boasted that he has the protection of the Quan family in Haicheng, and that if anyone dares to stand up to him, he’ll send the Quan family to deal with them. Hearing that, everyone is obviously scared and just put up with it. He just wants everyone to misunderstand that what he’s doing is something you’ve tacitly approved.”
Quan Ye picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said calmly, "He came here this time targeting the Quan family, wanting to control them. He doesn't even know his own limitations."
"Don't you suspect that his arrogance is orchestrated by someone to distract you?"
"No matter who it is, once I find out, they will bear the consequences."
"So what are your current plans for dealing with Bart?"
Just then, a commotion arose at the entrance.
"I'm late, please forgive me!"
Bart swaggered in with his men.
The Quan family has a rule that private bodyguards are not allowed to attend tonight's banquet, but he violated the rule and brought his own bodyguards.
Bodyguards stood on either side, making way for him.
The guests present were all sighing and speculating about his purpose in coming.
Emily's rich boyfriend quickly came out, picked her up, and tried to back away, saying, "You better behave yourself and stop causing trouble."
Emily was carried to the back like a chick.
Bart was wearing a brown shirt, unbuttoned, revealing his chest and a menacing dragon tattoo on his chest. He had a thick gold chain around his neck, wore large sunglasses, and had a smirk on his face, exuding arrogance.
At this lavish banquet, he was an outcast, completely out of place.
Su Li and Meng Sangsang turned to look at the newcomer and suddenly had a bad feeling.
