Chapter 6
When I arrived, the banquet had already started.
At first glance, I saw Shen Wangjin's figure.
He stood out too much.
Standing there, he became the center of attention.
Almost at the same time, his gaze came over.
Through the crowded crowd, our eyes met briefly.
I wore a beautiful dress.
Light gold, with some clever designs at the clavicle, the neckline was slightly larger than usual, and the skirt followed the curves of my body.
A sapphire necklace hung in the hollow of my collarbone.
It sparkled.
Shen Wangjin stared at me without moving.
It was only when someone next to him spoke that he withdrew his gaze and left amidst the crowd's adulation.
I was about to go over when the secretary stopped me.
After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Miss Xu, regarding the matter of reconciling with Mr.
Jiang...
Mr.
Shen heard it that day.
Although this is your private matter, it would be better to clarify any misunderstandings sooner." He didn't finish his sentence and hurriedly followed Shen Wangjin.
Leaving me stunned in place.
It was only when I saw the name "Jiang Group" written on a banner at the entrance that I realized it.
This is Jiang Zhihuai's territory.
He was creating an opportunity for me to meet Jiang Zhihuai.
Realizing that he misunderstood me, I lifted my skirt and tried to chase after him.
Suddenly, someone blocked my way.
"Good evening, Miss," said a chubby middle-aged man with a pleasant smile.
"I am Shen Wangjin's uncle.
You must have heard of Shen Wangjin, right?" So he was Shen Wangjin's elder relative.
I politely nodded, "Hello." He held a glass of champagne and said, "You look beautiful.
Do you have a boyfriend?" Realizing his impure intentions, I quickly took a step back and distanced myself.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I have something to attend to.
Excuse me." I hurriedly left before he could respond.
As I passed a corner, I was stopped again.
"Xiao Chu," Lin Shan suddenly appeared from somewhere and asked tentatively, "Was that your fiance?" "No." "No wonder your last name is Shen," she muttered to herself as if she had caught something about me, "So you're the third party that they say Shen Wangjin has outside.
I didn't expect you to be the other woman." Her voice was loud, quickly attracting the curiosity of people around us.
They pointed and whispered at me.
I stared quietly at her and said, "Have you said enough?" Lin Shan affectionately wrapped her arm around mine and said, "What's wrong? Did I ruin your reputation?" "During the two years you pursued Jiang Zhihuai, I slept with him every day." "...He talked to you because I found it exciting to play like that.
You are the other woman..." "Once is an accident, twice is a habit." The anger that had been building up finally erupted.
In her satisfied gaze, I picked up a nearby glass of water and poured it over her head.
With the glass shattering as it hit the ground, there was a sudden silence.
After a brief stunned moment, Lin Shan screamed, "Xu Shichu, what are you doing?" "Have you calmed down?" I stared at her face and said, "There's plenty more water if you need it.
No need to introduce yourself to me like this." "You-" Suddenly, someone forcefully pulled me away and threw me onto the food counter.
Plates and cutlery fell to the floor.
The shards of porcelain scraped against my ankles, causing blood to gush out.
In pain and with furrowed eyebrows, I met the gaze of Jiang Zhihuai, who had suddenly appeared.
"Xu Shichu, have you gone crazy?" Jiang Zhihuai's tone was dark, "How dare you cause trouble on my property?" Without thinking, I took out a card from my bag and harshly threw it at Jiang Zhihuai's face.
"Shut up." "You think 20,000 yuan is a treasure? It's embarrassing even if I say it out loud.
If I found out that the money was stolen from your house by Lin Shan, I would find it disgusting." Lin Shan burst into tears, "You're just a mistress.
Why do you have the audacity to act so self-righteous?" "What mistress?" Jiang Zhihuai asked.
"Her fiance is Shen Wangjin's uncle!" Jiang Zhihuai's gaze moved back and forth between me, his expression complicated.
I took out my phone and sneered, "If you have the guts, say it here, louder.
Let's meet in court." Lin Shan became scared and cautiously hid behind Jiang Zhihuai.
"Enough." Jiang Zhihuai chuckled disdainfully, showing an attitude of not listening or believing, "Xu Shichu, you disgust me." "Who disgusts you?" A faint voice came from outside the crowd.
The crowd automatically made way.
Shen Wangjin had returned.
I stood in a disheveled state, glaring at him.
Knowing that things had escalated tonight, Shen Wangjin's expression wasn't good either.
Shen Wangjin walked straight up to me, lowered his eyes, and asked, "Where are you hurt?"
" "No--" I suddenly remembered what the secretary had said.
Changing the topic, I complained, "I scraped my ankle, it hurts...
" "Who did it?" "Him." I pointed at Jiang Zhihuai.
Jiang Zhihuai sneered, "You just seduce anyone you see.
Even if I kill your fiance, can you still smile?" Shen Wangjin walked calmly towards Jiang Zhihuai.
As he passed by the dining table, he casually picked up a bottle of red wine.
Jiang Zhihuai thought Shen Wangjin was going to help him and laughed, "Perfect, since you don't like your uncle, help me--" His voice abruptly stopped.
The crimson liquid dripped down his fragmented hair.
The expensive white shirt was stained red.
And the source was the bottle of wine in Shen Wangjin's hand.
With one hand in his pocket, in the exact same manner as before, he poured the wine over his head.
The whole room fell silent.
"Shen Wangjin," Jiang Zhihuai's voice changed, "Have you lost your mind too?" Shen Wangjin threw away the bottle and picked up Jiang Zhihuai's tie to wipe his hands, his tone cold and tinged with arrogance.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly earlier.
Are you sure...
you want to kill me?" ...
One sentence, like a sudden thunder on a calm ground.
For the first time, I saw astonishment on Jiang Zhihuai's face...
Lin Shan struggled free from Jiang Zhihuai's protection and desperately tried to make up for it.
"Mr.
Shen, I clearly saw her just now--" "Miss Lin, are you spreading rumors about my fiance?" Lin Shan's lips trembled, finally understanding the relationship between me and him.
"N-no, it's not like that..." Shen Wangjin held my waist, prepared to take me away.
Jiang Zhihuai finally reacted and raised his voice to stop him.
"Shen Wangjin, don't you owe me an explanation?" "Explanation?" Shen Wangjin lazily curled his lips and laughed, "My wife already made it clear just now.
It's your lack of judgement.
She was injured by you, so I don't need an explanation from you.
Do you dare to ask me?" Jiang Zhihuai choked, "Don't be deceived by her.
I know her--" "Enough.
My affairs don't need your evaluation." Jiang Zhihuai went crazy and grabbed his stained shirt, "Why the fuck are you treating me like this for her? We grew up together, are you siding with an outsider? Are you being reasonable?" Shen Wangjin glanced at him coldly and dropped the line, "Then sue me." Then he took me away.
