Chарtеr 11: Vеnting Аnger on the Sроt
Amidst the lоw, mocking lаughtеr оf thе оnlоokеrs, Fu Yuаn fеignеd comрosure and said, “Whу shоuld I clаrifу sоmеthing thаt nevеr hарpenеd? Аnd who аre you tо questiоn me?”
Fu Ye glanсed аt Shen Сiуing and delibеrately аddеd, “А Ying, it sеems yоu rеаllу did remembеr wrong. It wаsn’t becаuse of his fоul mouth—it was bеcause hе triеd tо harаss а girl and got a hоle in his hеаd from her high hеel.”
“Oh, right.” Shеn Ciуing ехaggеratedlу agreеd, intеntiоnally provoking him. “That reminds mе—it wаs because hе triеd to harass а girl.”
Shеn Ciying shook her head with a look of disgust. “Tsk~ I heard he even did it with his aunt. What kind of twisted preference is that? An aunt and her nephew harassing a girl together…”
“Stop spreading your damn lies!” Fu Yuan, having been exposed, flew into a rage and shouted, cutting her off. “With my looks and family background, plenty of girls throw themselves at me!”
Suddenly remembering something, Fu Yuan smirked maliciously and added deliberately, “Like that Jian Yao—big chest, slim waist, quite the firecracker…”
Splash—
The moment Shen Ciying heard “Jian Yao,” she picked up the wine glass in front of her and without hesitation splashed it directly into Fu Yuan’s face, angrily retorting:
“How dare you even mention Jian Yao!”
Jian Yao was Shen Ciying’s only friend outside of the orphanage companions, and the most innocent and adorable person she had ever met.
Back then, after failing to harass Shen Ciying and getting his head smashed, Fu Yuan turned his attention to Jian Yao, trying to get back at her.
Fortunately, Jian Yao was innocent but not foolish!
She cut her losses in time.
Splashed all over his face, Fu Yuan stood up in shock and fury, reaching for his own wine glass to splash back.
But Fu Ye snatched the glass away before he could, leaving Fu Yuan to rage helplessly:
“Shen Ciying! How dare you splash me!
Do you really think sleeping with a man turns a sparrow into a phoenix?
Without a man, you wouldn’t even know how you’d die—”
Splash—
Shen Ciying picked up another glass of wine and splashed it at Fu Yuan again, this time aiming deliberately at his crotch as he stood there, sneering coldly:
“How I die is none of your concern.
But right now, your forehead looks dark—you probably won’t make it through the night. Be careful!”
The girl beside Fu Yuan hurriedly said respectfully, “Young Master Fu, there’s no need to get angry with someone like this. Let me take you to change into clean clothes.”
A disheveled Fu Yuan had no choice but to follow her to change clothes.
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to threaten Shen Ciying: “Shen Ciying! I’ll be waiting to see you dumped by Mr. Shen in a mass grave!”
Seeing Fu Yuan being helped away by the girl, Fu Ye exchanged a subtle glance with Shen Ciying before also getting up and leaving.
Meanwhile, a waiter who had heard the commotion arrived to ask what had happened.
Qi Yan casually brushed it off, saying, “It’s nothing, nothing. Just lost a card game.”
Then, he gave Shen Ciying a thumbs-up and grinned cheekily. “Beauty Ying is even more of a tyrant than I am!”
Originally, when Fu Yuan got angry, Qi Yan had wanted to intervene, but he realized Shen Ciying didn’t need his protection.
For a long time, everyone in their small circle had believed that Shen Ciying’s arrogance stemmed from relying on Shen Rangchen. Even though no one thought she could ever become Shen Rangchen’s official wife, her current favor was enough for her to act high and mighty.Although Qi Yan also felt that Shen Ciying was relying on her second brother’s influence, he could still see that this girl was not someone to be trifled with, even without her second brother’s backing.
Therefore, he simply stood by, watching the drama unfold without any concern for making things worse.
The banquet was boring, and he even hoped the commotion would escalate further. Unexpectedly, it ended just like that.
How dull!
Not long after Fu Ye left the banquet, he discreetly knocked out the attendant assigned by Fu Yutang to follow her and Shen Ciying, locking them in the restroom. He then quickly checked the surveillance layout near the changing room.
When Fu Yutang received the news that her brother had been splashed with wine by Shen Ciying, she was furious. However, she was in the middle of the ceremony and couldn’t immediately confront her.
Forced to put on a strained smile, she continued the unfinished ceremony under the host’s resounding voice.
Wanting to host a grand birthday banquet, the ceremony had been designed with a somewhat cumbersome and lengthy process.
Little did she expect that her good mood would be completely ruined by Shen Ciying. At this moment, she only wanted the ceremony to end quickly.
Uncertain of what Shen Ciying was planning, she finally seized the opportunity when family members were called to the stage to quietly inform Fu Yunxin.
When Fu Yunxin found Shen Ciying, the latter was chatting and laughing casually with those around her.
A few people even hoped to curry favor with Shen Ciying, hoping she could put in a good word for them in front of Shen Rangchen to facilitate family collaborations.
After all, even if she was just a favored companion, her current status of honor and disgrace meant she could still whisper a few words in his ear.
“Xiao Ying, come here for a moment.”
Suddenly, a voice interrupted the lively conversation.
Shen Ciying turned around and saw Fu Yunxin, whose eyes were filled with gentle elegance and a warm smile.
