The hall was deathly silent, all eyes fixed on the outsider who had suddenly barged in.
The heavy, carved doors were pushed open completely, letting in a flood of light that outlined her figure. She was wearing a long red dress made of a top-quality material that was clearly expensive. The skirt swayed, the shoulders were sharp, and the waist was cinched tightly.
A string of imperial green jadeite necklaces adorned her neck, its rich, lustrous color shimmering luxuriously under the lights. Huge black sunglasses covered most of her delicate face, revealing only her bright red lips.
Two rows of bodyguards in black suits and wearing headsets filed in behind her. Each of them was nearly two meters tall, expressionless, and exuded a menacing aura. They instantly took control of the entrance and the bodyguards originally assigned by the Ye family.
Everyone was stunned, looking at each other in disbelief. No one recognized this uninvited guest, but judging from her appearance, she was dressed in expensive clothes. Those with sharp eyes could tell that her sunglasses alone were worth three million. She had a powerful aura and was clearly not an ordinary person. How could an ordinary person find her way here?
Ye Heng was the first to react. He was suspicious but unhappy, and tentatively asked to speak.
"Madam, have you come to the wrong place? This is the engagement ceremony of the Ye and Qin families, a private banquet."
Shen Ci seemed not to hear, her gaze sweeping contemptuously over everyone before landing on Ye Jixue, who was sitting awkwardly on the ground below the stage.
It's not that I look down on you, but rather that I look down on each and every one of you equally.
The gaze behind the sunglasses seemed to freeze for a moment.
Then, she raised her hand and pointed directly at Ye Jixue with a long, slender finger adorned with a huge emerald ring.
"I've come to pick up my daughter."
The audience erupted in uproar!
Daughter?! Ye Jixue looked up abruptly, tears still clinging to her eyelashes, staring incredulously at the radiant woman. Was she referring to herself?!
Ye Canxing was the first to jump out. She absolutely could not allow anyone to disrupt her plan to perfectly take back everything, especially not for Ye Jixue!
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Ye Canxing retorted sharply, her tone no longer as composed, elegant, and noble as before.
"Ye Jixue's biological parents were nothing but two despicable thieves! They've long since..."
"Smack—!"
A sharp, resounding slap abruptly interrupted Ye Canxing's words, sending him spinning halfway around on the spot.
Shen Ci had already stepped forward several steps without anyone noticing. Her movements were so fast that no one could see them clearly. She slowly wiped her hands with a silk handkerchief, as if she had touched something dirty.
Ye Canxing covered her face, completely stunned. The burning pain and immense humiliation made her eyes widen instantly. No one had ever dared to lay a finger on her before!
"You, you dare to hit me?!"
"I'll hit you if I want."
Do we still need to pick a date?
Shen Ci took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of cold and sharp eyes. His gaze swept across the entire room, filled with undisguised contempt.
Ye Jixue's eyes lit up. Great! Ye Canxing got beaten up!
Shen Ci completely ignored the gasps around him and the ashen faces of the Ye family members, and walked straight up to Ye Jixue, his eyes fixed on her.
All her strength and coldness softened slightly when she bent down to look at the girl on the ground. She reached out her hand to Ye Jixue, palm up, and her tone was no longer harsh, but very gentle, speaking softly.
"The ground is cold, do you want to come with me?"
Ye Jixue stared blankly at the hand, which was well-maintained with rounded nails and a priceless ring. She then looked up at the woman, whom she did not recognize and was a complete stranger.
But...should I stay here?
To stay here and continue to be humiliated, to be given away like merchandise to an old man? To stay here and watch their family live happily together? To be bullied by everyone? To become a pawn?
Looking around, many of the people present were still familiar faces, but their attitudes towards her had changed drastically. Although they were all acquaintances, they felt terrifyingly unfamiliar to her.
No, absolutely not.
Even if it's an abyss, another deception, she'll jump! At least she can leave this suffocating place! Ye Jixue was born proud and would never stay to be humiliated again. Even if this woman is a fraud, she will leave the Ye family honorably!
Even if she has to go out and work to make a living in the future, that's fine!
She trembled, her hands wet with tears and dust, and carefully placed her cold hands into Shen Ci's warm, dry palms.
Shen Ci tightened his grip slightly, pulled her up, and held her protectively by his side.
"Very good." Shen Ci curled her lips, then coldly swept her gaze over the Ye family.
Before I leave, I have a score to settle: who hit you?
Ye Jixue froze. How did she know?
"Revenge cannot wait overnight. Now, let's go and fight back."
Shen Ci's tone left no room for argument.
Ye Jixue's heart pounded. She looked at Mrs. Ye, whose face was pale, and Ye Heng, whose eyes were sinister. These were the people she had called "Mom" and "Brother" for eighteen years... She instinctively felt scared. The malice she had suffered during this time made her feel that her original family members were all strangers.
"Stop them!"
Mr. Ye roared angrily, "Who is this person? How dare he run wild on my turf? I can't let him leave!" But he found that his bodyguards had already been subdued by the other party without making a sound, and the gate was firmly guarded.
"Don't be afraid," Shen Ci's voice rang in her ears.
"Think about how they just treated you."
A surge of grievance and hatred instantly overwhelmed her timidity. Ye Jixue gritted her teeth, rushed forward with all her might!
Hmph, when they bullied her, did they never think about her feelings?
"Slap! Slap!"
He slapped Mrs. Ye and Ye Heng hard across the face with both hands!
The entire room was deathly silent! You could hear a pin drop!
Ye Jixue was panting, feeling both the joy of getting revenge and the lingering fear in her heart. She was arrogant and domineering, but she had always been the one to lay a hand on outsiders and had never laid a hand on her own family!
She glanced at Ye Canxing, whose face was pale, raised her hand slightly, but then lowered it.
"She...didn't hit me."
Even if she disliked someone, she couldn't bring herself to slap someone who hadn't directly laid a hand on her, especially since Shen Ci had already hit Ye Canxing.
Shen Ci looked at her, a hint of relief in her eyes. Fortunately, she was kind at heart and could distinguish right from wrong.
"Ye Jixue! How dare you!" Ye Heng was furious, and Mrs. Ye covered her face in disbelief.
"Who are you people! How dare you mess with the Ye family! I'll make sure you can't stay in Sihanoukville!"
Ye's father was furious and threatened that he had been humiliated by outsiders in front of so many people today. He was losing face completely and wondered how he could ever face anyone in this area again.
