The manager looked troubled. She did not dare to do so.
After all, Ms. Jade was a guest invited by the Fu Corporation, while Lu Xue was just a clueless lady.
Jian Wan said, “Don’t, Xiaoxue. If you drive her out, it will create negative news for the Fu family. I’m Brother Yuan’s fiancée after all. I have to think about the Fu family. It’s okay to suffer a little.”
“Sister Wan, you’re the best! How could there be someone as good as you in this world? Brother Yuan and you are a match made in heaven.” Lu Xue put her palms together and said sincerely.
Jian Yan adjusted her sunglasses and sneered. “The venue is so big. Since we hate each other, please get away from me. Don’t put on a pretense in front of me.”
“I’m lucky I’m wearing sunglasses or I’d be blind by now.”
“H-how could you say that?!”
Lu Xue was anxious. She reached out and wanted to slap Jian Yan, but the latter stopped her and returned the gesture.
Slap!
The crisp sound of the slap scared Jian Wan and the other ‘wealthy ladies’, and they turned pale with fright. The sound also attracted the attention of others, including Fu Yuan, who was talking to someone.
“Second Young Master Fu, your fiancée is over there… Do you want to go over and take a look?”
Lu Xue was slapped to the ground. Her face was red and swollen, and her earrings flew out. The pink gown she was wearing was also falling down and she nearly bared herself.
“How dare you hit me! Do you know who my brother is?!”
“I don’t care who your brother is. I only know that you wanted to hit me first. Get lost if you know what’s good for you. Otherwise, I can give you a few more slaps.” Jian Yan took a sip of the light golden white wine and said indifferently.
Lu Xue was in a panic.
Jian Wan subconsciously took a step back.
Jian Yan’s arrogant aura reminded her of the past. No matter how many tricks she used, Jian Yan would always be able to easily deal with her and take revenge.
Other than successfully snatching her fiancé, she had never gotten anything good out of her.
“What’s wrong?” Fu Yuan’s voice came from behind, giving Jian Yan a huge relief.
“Brother Yuan… Wah!”
Jian Wan jumped into his arms and pretended to have been wronged. “Sister is back… I got into a bit of a tiff with her. Xiaoxue spoke up for me and got hit by my sister.”
Hearing this, Fu Yuan immediately looked at the person in the middle, who had black hair and red dress, and said in surprise, “Yanyan, you’re back!”
Then, he changed his expression and said unhappily, “How could you hit someone at this banquet?”
Jian Yan rolled her eyes at him, but Fu Yuan did not notice it because of her sunglasses.
Lu Xue struggled to get up as someone reached out to help her. “Xiaoxue, are you alright?” His voice was gentle and tender.
“I’m fine.” Lu Xue held his hand tightly and blushed.
Jian Yan spotted Zhao Peng at once and realized that she knew him. He was Sister Wen’s newlywed husband—the legendary husband who was whipped for his wife.
At that moment, this man held Lu Xue’s hand with one hand and held her waist with the other. He did not let go for a long time. There was deep affection in his actions, and it was obvious that their relationship was not simple.
Zhao Peng supported Lu Xue and roared at Jian Yan, “Get out. I will remember you. You will regret what you did today because you offended someone you shouldn’t have.”
Jian Yan chuckled.
“Who the f*ck are you? You’re the son-in-law of the Wen Family, aren’t you? Why are you standing up for someone like that? Are the Wen Family’s resources for you squander away?”
She had not expected the man that Sister Wen had been praising and marrying to be such a person.
Zhao Peng pulled a long face and said confidently, “It’s good that you know I’m from the Wen Family. Teaching a small fashion designer like you a lesson is easy for the Wen Family.”
“If you kneel down and apologize to Lu Xue and beg her for forgiveness, I can let you off.”
Fu Yuan frowned. “Zhao Peng, don’t create trouble. Yanyan will never do such a thing. Take Lu Xue to the room upstairs and apply some medicine for her.”
“I want her to kneel. Second Young Master Fu, don’t bother about her. Isn’t she the woman you didn’t want?”
Zhao Peng’s expression was dark. “You stopped me for a woman you didn’t want. You’re going too far.”
Jian Wan tugged on Fu Yuan’s sleeve and tried to persuade him to stop. She wanted to see Jian Yan kneel too. Just thinking about it made her happy.
Jian Yan couldn’t be bothered to watch this scene. She threw the wine glass at Zhao Peng’s feet. The wine splashed on his trousers and leather shoes.
“Hey, call yourself a member of the Wen Family only when you change your surname to Wen on your ID card. You must be dreaming if you want me to get on my knees and apologize. I’ll wait for you to take your revenge and see what you have up your sleeves.”
Seeing that the woman had just humiliated him in front of Lu Xue, he said angrily, “I can teach you a lesson now.”
He took a few steps forward and wanted to attack Jian Yan.
However, before he could touch Jian Yan, a punch came from behind and he staggered.
“President Fu!”
Shocked cries sounded in his ears.
Zhao Peng turned around and saw Fu Li, the president of the Fu Corporation. He was wearing a formal suit and had a handsome face. However, he was known for his swift and decisive actions. Zhao Peng retracted his fist and looked at him coldly. Then, Fu Li sat down beside Jian Yan and whispered into her ear.
“Honey, I missed you so much..”
