Although he wasn't sure if Mingdai would still go to great lengths to help him now, he believed that Mingdai still harbored feelings for him.
Mingdai slowly stood up, her long eyelashes thick and curled. As she looked down at the wine in her glass, her beautiful profile was calm and smiling, as if she had everything under control.
Mo Yumei couldn't stand Mingdai's calm and confident demeanor, because it always reminded her of He Yaoyuan's wife, who had long since passed away.
She hoped that Mingdai would make a big fool of herself, and that Mingdai would have no choice but to be subservient and humiliated in the future.
Mingdai smiled, picked up her wine glass, and left her seat to stand behind Mo Yumei.

Mo Tingchuan was busy wiping his mother's face, and in doing so, he neglected Mingdai.
With this push, Mingdai fell backward like a leaf in the wind.
"Hey, catch her quickly!"
He Xingqiong, who was watching the show, jumped up in a hurry.
