Chapter 376: Staying too long brings bad luck
Several rich ladies gathered in a circle, with seemingly gentle but actually aggressive smiles on their faces, and half-forced Yu Wei and Zheng Yaqin to stand in front of Shen Ruyan and Fang Li.
"Miss Yu, please say something."
Yu Wei bit her lip, her face grim. After a long while, she managed only one sentence, "Things are not what everyone thinks. Fang Li and I have always had a good relationship. It was just a small misunderstanding at that time..."
"A little misunderstanding?"
"Miss Yu, since there's a misunderstanding, why not take this opportunity to talk it out?"
Mrs. Li smiled, but her eyes were sharp. "We elders hate to see the younger generations quarreling with each other."
Mrs. Wang also agreed: "Yes, Mrs. Han and her daughter-in-law are both generous people. If you apologize sincerely, this matter will be over."
Yu Wei's face turned pale, her fingers tightly gripped the hem of her skirt, her nails almost digging into her palms.
Zheng Yaqin stood in front of her daughter, barely maintaining her dignity as a lady, and said with a forced smile: "It's been so long since the incident happened. Besides, why make such an embarrassing fuss about the children..."
"Embarrassing?"
Shen Ruyan gently shook the champagne glass, a smile on her lips, "Mrs. Yu, it was your daughter who started the mall incident."
"But Weiwei also apologized at that time!"
"An apology only counts if it's sincere. Ask your daughter, did she really apologize at the time?"
The ladies around exchanged meaningful glances and some people whispered.
"I heard that Miss Yu wanted to take action at that time, but was held down by Madam Han..."
"Indeed, although he admitted his mistake publicly at that time, it was forced and definitely not sincere."
The discussion was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Yu Wei to hear clearly.
Her eyes instantly turned red, and she looked at Song Yuchen not far away with shame and anger, with a signal for help in her eyes.
Song Yucheng stood at the edge of the crowd with a frown on his face.
He didn't want to get involved in this farce, but Yu Wei was his "fiancée" after all, and he couldn't completely ignore it in public.
He took a deep breath, walked forward, and spoke gently: "Fang Li, today is a happy day, why don't you..."
"Not as good as what?"
Wen Yang appeared beside Fang Li at some point and sneered, "Why don't we just let Miss Yu apologize and let's all move on from this amicably?"
Song Yucheng was choked and frowned even tighter: "Wen Yang, this has nothing to do with you."
"Why is it okay?"
Wen Yang crossed his arms, his eyes sharp, "Fang Li is my best friend. She was bullied, and I can't say anything?"
She turned to Yu Wei and said sarcastically, "Ms. Yu, you dare not take responsibility for what you did? Weren't you quite arrogant in the business world back then? Why are you pretending to be wronged now?"
Yu Wei was so angry that she was shaking all over, tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
Zheng Yaqin couldn't stand it any longer and said sternly, "Don't go too far! Weiwei has already apologized and even stopped working because of that incident. She is our Yu family's daughter after all. Why should she be humiliated in public by you?"
"humiliation?"
Fang Li finally spoke, her voice calm, "Mrs. Yu, if an apology is considered humiliating, then what about those sarcastic remarks that Miss Yu and her friends made in public?"
Zheng Yaqin's face froze.
The whole audience fell silent instantly.
Yu Wei couldn't hold back any longer, tears welled up in her eyes, she raised her eyes and glared at Fang Li, then pushed the crowd away and rushed out.
Zheng Yaqin glanced at Fang Li with a gloomy look and hurriedly chased after them. Before leaving, she said to Fang Li and Shen Ruyan with a stern face, "If I had known that you two would attend our Yu's anniversary celebration with such intentions, I shouldn't have invited you so politely!"
Shen Ruyan smiled coldly, too lazy to pay attention.
He turned around and gently patted the back of Fang Li's hand, saying calmly, "The real boss has already run away, so what are we still waiting for? So this is the Yu family's way of entertaining guests!"
Her words were gentle and sharp, and were heard by many people around her.
Noticing that more and more people were indeed discussing what was happening here, Shen Ruyan took Fang Li's hand and said, "Let's go. It's bad luck to stay in this kind of place for too long."
When the rich ladies saw Shen Ruyan leave, they also dispersed.
And as they dispersed, countless rumors followed.
In the end, only Song Yucheng was left standing there with a grim look on his face.
He looked at Fang Li, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Fang Li didn't even glance at him, and turned to leave, holding Wen Yang and Shen Ruyan's hands.
The three of them took several steps forward when Wen Yang suddenly turned around and rolled his eyes at Song Yucheng: "Mr. Song, since you've chosen the Yu family, stop pretending to be a good person. Show up less in the future, or watch out for your dog head!"
---
The banquet was still in full swing, but the most eye-catching person of the night left early.
It was not until Fang Li and others left that Yu Minghai, who had previously avoided them out of shame, learned what happened next.
When he heard that his wife and daughter had left behind a group of rich ladies, his already ugly face became even uglier.
"Where are they?! Go find them all!"
When the assistant waiting nearby heard this, he hurried to find someone.
Let’s talk about Fang Li and the others.
I walked out of the hotel and breathed in the fresh air before slowing down my pace.
Fang Li took Shen Ruyan's arm and curled her lips: "Mom, thank you for letting me vent my anger today."
"You kid, why are you being so polite! You are Xiu Jin's wife, and in my eyes you are half a daughter. If you dare to bully my daughter, I will not let her have an easy time no matter how long it takes!"
Wen Yang looked at the domineering Shen Ruyan with sparkling eyes.
"Ah, Auntie, you're so kind! If I had a mother-in-law like you in the future, even if my husband cheated on me, I could tolerate it for your sake!"
"Haha...silly girl, what are you talking about? What's the point of cheating?"
Shen Ruyan held Wen Yang with her other hand and said, "I tell you, your life is your own. No matter who it is, as long as he is not loyal to you, you should throw him away immediately!"
"Okay! Throw it away!"
The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked to the waiting area.
A whistle suddenly sounded.
A few people looked in the direction of the sound and saw the black Maybach opposite that seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
Han Xi opened the car door and got out. He walked towards Fang Li and took her bag. "Is it over?"
Fang Li shrugged: "No, we left early."
Han Xi chuckled: "Why? Boring?"
Wen Yang came over with a grin, "It's quite interesting, but the owner has run away, so how can we keep it?"
Han Xi raised an eyebrow: "What's going on?"
Wen Yang vividly told Han Xi what had just happened.
Han Xi suddenly looked at his mother helplessly.
"what!"
Shen Ruyan glared back at him: “You don’t help your own wife to vent her anger, and you don’t let me, the mother-in-law, help you!”
"No."
Han Xi pursed his lips: "You are very good. I thank you on behalf of Fang Li."
"You don't have to mention it. My wife has already thanked me."
