“It’s really inconvenient.”

“What? You beat me and humiliated me in public, so you’re not going to compete with me anymore?” He Xi suddenly raised her voice. “Miss Tang, are you looking down on me?”

“What is He Xi doing now?” Old Madam He frowned. Why is she causing trouble again in the blink of an eye? She doesn’t stop for a moment.

“I’m not sure. I’ll go take a look.” Zou Li went over to take a look.

Song Fengwan also went over.

“Miss He, you must be joking. It’s not that I look down on you. It’s really not convenient.” Tang Jingci could actually see her arrogant and domineering appearance clearly.

She was so high-profile and ostentatious at this moment because she wanted to expose that Tang Jingci was blind in public.

In today’s society, people advocated treating people with disabilities with more concern and no discrimination. But when they really met in reality, it was inevitable that they would take a few more glances at them. It was unrealistic to say that they were given completely equal treatment.

“Last time, in the competition, you clearly had the ability to win against me, yet you kept hiding your strength and made me run after you. You humiliated me in public. Do you really think this debt can be forgiven just like that?”

Before Tang Jingci could speak, Song Fengwan walked over. “He Xi, since you know that you’re not as good as her, why do you have to arrange a competition in public? You’re embarrassing yourself.”

When He Xi entered the venue, she saw her. “Song Fengwan, I’m talking to her. It has nothing to do with you.”

“Back then, your competition started because of me. Now, you’re harping over this topic again. How does it have nothing to do with me?” Song Fengwan blocked in front of Tang Jingci, clearly wanting to protect her.

“Are you sure you want to go against me today?” Ever since the He family’s incident, He Xi had been very aggrieved. Tang Jingci was her outlet to vent.

“Do you have to find fault?” Song Fengwan asked.

“Tang Jingci, right? You’re really good at tricks. Not only are you fooling two men, but even Song Fengwan is protecting you. I’ve seen people who want to climb high up the social ladder, but I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you!”

Tang Jingci and Song Fengwan were stunned.

It isn’t just because of Senior Brother

/Cousin?

Why are there two men?

“Song Fengwan, do you really think she treats you as a friend? She just wants to use you as a springboard!

“You’re eating from a bowl while looking at a pot. You’re hooking up with Young Master Qiao while dating Young Master Duan at the same time.

“I’ve never seen someone more shameless than you.

“You’re a f*cking third-rate internet celebrity, but you sure have a big appetite.”

At this moment, all kinds of emotions were surging in Tang Jingci’s heart. When did I get involved with Duan Linbai? And I’m even a third-rate internet celebrity?

Not far away, Duan Linbai was currently taking care of Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi, who had just arrived.

“Linbai, didn’t you bring that young lady here? She seems to be in trouble.” Fu Sinian saw He Xi go over. “It’s fine. It’s no big deal.” Duan Linbai knew that there was a big show today, so he wasn’t anxious.

“Are you really not going to take a look? He Xi is quite troublesome.” Yu Manxi had never seen Tang Jingci before. Although she had heard Song Fengwan mention her senior sister from her second uncle-master’s family, she had never seen the person. At this moment, she only knew that if she was an ordinary girl, she would really be bullied by He Xi. “Hey, there’s no hurry. Look, Little Sister-in-Law is already there…”

Duan Linbai planned to watch the show in peace.

Little did he know that an unknown wildfire suddenly burned on his head.

He and Tang Jingci?

He Xi was probably blind!

The main reason was that many people around him were looking at him strangely.

“Linbai, what kind of relationship do you have with her?” Fu Sinian had roughly guessed Tang Jingci’s identity. After all, Song Fengwan wasn’t the kind of person who liked to stand up for others when things were unfair.

… Unless they knew each other and were very close. Moreover, Duan Linbai kept saying in the group chat that he was discussing a major business deal with an international master. All things considered, he was 90% sure that he could guess her identity.

“How is that possible? Don’t talk nonsense. We’re innocent.” Duan Linbai was also baffled. Why are these people looking at me like I’m cuckolded?

***

Tang Jingci knew that He Xi had misunderstood and couldn’t help laughing lightly. “Miss He, aren’t you overthinking?”

“I’m overthinking? Everyone saw you being with Young Master Duan all day. But the people present…” He Xi looked around.

“Someone knows that you and Qiao Xiyan stay in the same hotel and go in and out together.

“Someone in the hotel saw you two hugging. Do you want to tell me that you two are innocent?

“You’re really capable to be able to deal with two men!”

Song Fengwan was stunned. “Big Sister Tang, you and my cousin…” Hugging?

“Song Fengwan, you treat her as your friend, but she’s just using you as a springboard. She probably wanted to use you to get close to your cousin. Now that her relationship with Young Master Duan has improved, she’s probably already kicked your cousin away.”

Qiao Xiyan had arrived early, so He Xi had observed him. When he saw Duan Linbai and Tang Jingci appear, his expression was cold as he flicked his sleeves and left.

He was obviously angry.

The Qiao family kept a low profile. Just based on their strength on the surface, they were indeed not as good as the Duan family. Judging by family background and status, the Duan family was indeed the best choice.

“Kicked my cousin away?” Song Fengwan originally wanted to settle the matter of the falling bottle and almost hitting Tang Jingci with a car, but she was inexplicably stuffed with a bunch of drama.

And it was all fake drama.

Even Tang Jingci, the person involved, was baffled. I kicked Senior Brother away? “Miss He, I think you should become a screenwriter. You have such a big imagination.” At this moment, she wished she could confess to Qiao Xiyan. How could she have kicked him away? “How ridiculous.”

He Xi thought that her guess was flawless because Duan Linbai was not far away but didn’t come up to stop her.

Which man could stand being cuckolded? Even if Qiao Xiyan came back, he probably wouldn’t help her.

са

When she thought of this, her actions became even bolder and more arrogant.

“This is a charity event. Someone like you isn’t worthy of being here!”

“He Xi.” Zou Li rushed over and hurriedly stopped her. “Don’t cause trouble.” “You don’t have to worry about my affairs. Today, I’ll let everyone see this woman’s true colors!” He Xi suddenly pushed Song Fengwan, who was blocking in front of Tang Jingci, away and reached out to take off her sunglasses.

“F*ck, so arrogant?” Duan Linbai gasped.

No one wanted to be discovered that they had an eye disability. But even if he wanted to stop her now, he was too far away and couldn’t reach them at all!

Tang Jingci wasn’t afraid. She sat quietly and watched her reach out her hand through the black lens.

She couldn’t wait to see her surprised and stunned face. But a hand suddenly reached out from the side. The fingers were rough and thick. The hand held Tang Jingci’s arm, and she staggered…

… into his arms.

The man had an extremely cold aura to begin with. At this moment, his eyes were dark, making him look even colder. Before Tang Jingci could regain her senses, she heard a low and hoarse voice coming from above her head.

“Miss He, do you want to hit her in public? Aren’t you being too arrogant?”

There was a faint smell of smoke on him. His fingers were cold, and he exerted force with his arm, pulling Tang Jingci into his embrace. Song Fengwan staggered from the push. Thankfully, Little Jiang supported her and helped her stabilize her body.

She blinked. Cousin…

… actually didn’t help me?

The more she looked at their intimate actions, the stranger she felt.

Did I miss something?

Ever since the two of them arrived in the capital, the three of them had often stayed together. When did these two get together under my nose?
