The banquet ended amidst a flurry of flashing lights.
It's unclear how much the He and Zhou families will have to spend to suppress such a scandal.
When the event ended, dozens of entertainment reporters blocked the door, not because of the protagonist of the wedding. The gossip about the wealthy and the stars also caused a surge in traffic, especially for Tan Yuchen, who had previously frequented various entertainment venues.
They hope to uncover more details about the two's private relationship, and tomorrow's front page will definitely be buzzing with excitement. Some have already started digging into who the female protagonist is.
However, after waiting at the entrance for a long time, all the guests left, and not a single person was seen.
There is a door leading directly from the banquet hall to the guest rooms. Meng Yintong had just been wailing and screaming, her makeup was ruined, and her forehead was swollen and red from the impact.
Meng Jiuyi took her to wash her face and also invited a doctor over.
She was no longer in a state of collapse; her eyes were vacant.
"Are you happy to see me like this now?"
Meng Jiuyi disregarded her pride and said mercilessly, "There is a little bit."
She lowered her head and chuckled unkindly.
"To be honest, it's not just a little bit, it's a lot."
"you!"
Meng Yintong wanted to tear her apart. "I remember now. Last time at the Cen family's villa, you inexplicably made sarcastic remarks about me and He Zhizhou, and even mentioned the Zhou family. You already knew about it then, didn't you?"
"You're even more vicious than your mother. You've been waiting for me to fall, haven't you? Meng Jiuyi, you wicked woman, I'm going to kill you!"
She was so angry that she tried to pull Meng Jiuyi's hair, but the doctor and the PR person next to her immediately stopped her. Meng Jiuyi told them not to stop her, and the women hesitated, but eventually let go.
The outcome of this lapse was predictable: the two naturally started fighting.
Meng Yintong didn't know any kung fu, so of course she grabbed his hair and slapped him. It would be a miracle if Meng Jiuyi took the beating for nothing. His scalp was in excruciating pain from being pulled by her. She pulled Meng Yintong's hair even harder, and the two rolled around on the ground.
Meng Yintong was not as strong as her and quickly lost the battle.
"I know, why should I tell you? I'm not your informant. You've always been so ruthless in belittling me. If I could still act like a dog in front of you after all this, I'd be too pathetic."
Meng Jiuyi straddled her, his face hidden by a mask, but his eyes were full of smugness. "Meng Yintong, let me tell you, I've wanted to beat you up for a long time. From the first time I returned to the Meng family, you've tried every means to bully me. You blamed me for getting a fever, and you blamed me for hurting your leg. You can only hit me, I can't touch you. Every time I talk back a little, you cry and call for your parents."
Meng Yintong: "Why can't I hit you? It was your mother who seduced my father to have you. Other people have families, but your mother still has the nerve to be a mistress. As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter. You guys live in my house so openly. Do you think I'm really welcome?"
"You think you're a champion of justice? If you really want to condemn this immoral behavior, why don't you ever criticize Meng Xincheng? Have you ever thought about stabbing him? He hurt your mother's feelings. Have you ever hated him?"
You didn't do that; instead, you fawned over him, making him buy you this and that. Can one person really create a child? He's clearly the direct instigator, hurting the feelings of two women, and you call him "daddy" all the time. Wake up, Meng Yintong, you're just a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong.
Meng Jiuyi grabbed her hair and wouldn't let go. "He Zhizhou not only cheated on you, but also dug such a big pit for you. I thought you were so great, but you were just pretending to be banging your head against the wall and dying. You couldn't stand up for yourself in front of the instigator, but now you're blaming others. I shouldn't have pulled you just now. I should have just given you a rope and hanged you on the spot. What bad luck! In the end, all you do is make things difficult for women."
Meng Yintong was stunned by her scolding, but she couldn't retort. After staring at her blankly for a few seconds, she burst into tears.
Meng Jiuyi wouldn't kick a man when he's down, so he let go of her hair and sat down beside her, panting.
The PR person and doctor standing nearby were completely stunned; it was rare to see girls fighting so openly.
"You ruined my childhood, Meng Jiuyi!"
She cried, "Shouldn't I hate you?"
"Am I not? If you feel it's three points, then it's ten or one hundred points to me. From childhood to adulthood, you've definitely wronged me more."
Meng Jiuyi's hair was also messy, but what those strands concealed was a vulnerability that seemed to be rising like water. Meng Yintong caught a glimpse of it and slowly turned her face away.
Meng Jiuyi picked up the shoes next to her and looked at her coldly.
"If it weren't for something that made you take the blame today, I wouldn't have saved you. You would have been dead if you jumped from this floor. You're tired of living, so hurry up and get out of here."
She finished speaking and went out, the door slamming shut behind her. The glass window vaguely reflected her disheveled appearance—her hair was a mess, and her clothes were torn.
Suddenly, a rather unkind chuckle came from the side.
Meng Jiuyi turned his head and saw Tan Yuchen slowly walking over. Even though the corridor lights weren't very bright, they were enough to outline the laziness on his face.
He smoothed her hair. "Congratulations on your triumphant return, General Meng. Shall we go celebrate?"
Meng Jiuyi only settled accounts with Meng Yintong, not with him, so he ignored him and turned to leave.
Tan Yuchen said, "It's almost freezing outside. We'll freeze if we go out like this."
"None of your business!"
She had a lot of anger that she hadn't vented. "Don't talk to me anymore. I won't talk to someone who doesn't keep their word."
The hotel window was open, and she shivered as a gust of wind occasionally blew in from outside.
Tan Yuchen carried her to the room and held her on his lap.
"Who gave you permission to touch me? I haven't finished speaking yet!"
She lifted her hips to get down, but he pressed her back down with what seemed like a light touch, yet it was irresistible.
The two were pressed tightly together, almost sparking a fire, yet his expression remained innocent.
"That's what I'm saying, I'm listening."
