But now, this lunatic actually slandered her innocence. Su Tang was really angry and lost her rationality for a moment. Before her tears fell, she suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Zheng Xin a moment later.
Before Zheng Xin could be stunned, Su Tang’s fist swung out heavily.
Shi Ke was the closest and hurriedly grabbed her arm. Otherwise, Zheng Xin’s face would probably be swollen after being hit.
Su Tang opened her wet eyes and looked up anxiously at the owner of the arm.
Shi Ke shook his head gently at her and said, “Don’t be anxious. We all believe you. Let her explain herself first.”
Seeing that Su Tang’s eyes had regained their calm, he let go of her hand and took a step forward to stand in front of Zheng Xin. “You didn’t know who Su Tang was just now, but in the blink of an eye, you said that she would marry Yi Zheng. Isn’t that too ridiculous?”
Zheng Xin avoided his gaze and stammered, “What do you know? 1 know a lot.”
She looked at the dignified Shi Ke and couldn’t help but swallow. “Do you want to know how you will die? Take your sister away and 1’11 tell you.”
“She’s really a lunatic.” Shi Ke rubbed his eyebrows in frustration. His gaze passed everyone and landed on Shi Man on the stage, silently asking her what she meant.
In his opinion, what she had just said was enough to prove that Zheng Xin was mentally unstable. There would be no outcome if they continued to pester her. It was better to let her leave quickly and not continue to be an eyesore.
Shi Man’s calm gaze slowly landed on Zheng Xin. Before she could speak, Zheng Xin could not help but shiver.
Shi Man did not hold back on the two kicks just now. Now, her bones were about to fall apart, and she subconsciously felt afraid of Shi Man.
“Why are you looking at me? I’m telling the truth!” Zheng Xin glared at Shi Man meekly, her arrogance clearly weakening.
Shi Man opened her thin lips coldly and said, “When you’re making wild guesses about someone else’s future, don’t you plan to see your own?”
Her future?
Zheng Xin sneered and said indifferently, “Of course my future is better than yours. I’m…”
Before she could say the words “female lead”, she suddenly realized that the way everyone looked at her had suddenly changed. It was completely different from what she had imagined!
There was pity, mockery, and the look of someone watching a good show in their eyes, but there was no admiration like she had imagined.
She came back to her senses in a daze and looked at the group of people surrounding her. All of them were hostile to her and wished they could kill her.
In her previous life, Zheng Xin, who was doted on by her parents and praised by the mercenaries, had never received such treatment.
Her parents’ bias and status made her take it for granted that everyone would like her from the moment they saw her and send her all the best things with their tails wagging.
But she had forgotten that without her high-ranking parents, she was like a piece of driftwood moving along with the tide. She had no one to rely on and was tattered. She could not obtain anyone’s love.
“I…” Zheng Xin’s lips trembled. For the first time, she realized that this world was probably not a simple game.
She didn’t know how to return to her parents. Without her parents, it had become abnormally difficult for her to even survive in an unfamiliar world.
Seeing that her daughter seemed to have regained her consciousness, Madam Zheng wiped her tears and carefully pulled her into her arms.
Zheng Xin suddenly realized that this woman, who she had always thought of as an ordinary NPC, could actually be so warm when she hugged her.
She finally realized something and tears flowed down her eyes aggrievedly. She muttered to herself, “Don’t bully me. I’m very powerful. None of you are allowed to bully me.”
Shen Xian looked at this child, who was arrogant and domineering one moment and crying the next. She couldn’t bear to see her cry. She looked up at her daughter on the stage. “Manman, why don’t we let this matter go? Actually, everyone knows what happened just now.”
No one would believe the words of a lunatic.
Of course, Shi Man understood this logic, but the reason why she did this just now was because she wanted Zheng Xin to recognize her situation as soon as possible and not cause trouble for her.
Fortunately, this lunatic could finally listen to her. Shi Man couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath on her anymore. She waved her hand casually and said, “Forget it, Uncle Zheng, Aunt Chi. Take her away.”
Madam Zheng was naturally grateful to Shi Man. After apologizing repeatedly, she helped her daughter out of the hotel with her husband.
The farce finally came to an end. The wine in the corner had already been cleaned up by the waiter Tang Zhe had found. Everyone sat back down, but when they looked at the three empty seats again, they could not help but sigh in their hearts.
This ceremony was successfully completed. As planned, Yi Zheng put the ring he had carefully chosen on Shi Man’s hand and looked at her with gentleness.
After the banquet ended, everyone moved to the event location of the ball that had been prepared in advance. All kinds of dining tables were neatly placed at the periphery of the hall. The main hall was also designed by Yi Zheng. Unfortunately, he and Shi Man were destined not to have so much time to enjoy this ball tonight..
