jing hailan, who was dressed in a red gown, swirled the empty wine glass in her hand and smiled at su mi. ” “Didn’t you brush your teeth when you went out?”
They were still a few steps away from su mi and the others, and the party was a little noisy, but su mi and the girl’s voices were not suppressed at all, so they could hear them very clearly.
jiang rui’s face darkened, and so did jiang heng’s, but they didn’t react as quickly as jing hailan. Jing Hailan picked up a glass of wine from the waiter’s tray and threw it at su MI’s face.
the speed was so fast that no one could react.
Even Shi Yan was a little surprised.
Although Jing Hailan had said that he would protect her, she had just met him.
however, the surprise in shi yan’s eyes only lasted for a few seconds. she quickly returned to her usual calm and faint smile.
she wasn’t someone who liked to stand up for others, but she wasn’t someone who would let others bully her without fighting back. moreover, now that someone had stood up for her, she wouldn’t stand aside and watch others stand up for her.
She glanced at su mi and the other girl and smiled.”it seems that miss su and this young lady have a lot of opinions about me.”
Su mi was in a sorry state after being splashed with wine and being stared at by so many people. She only felt that she had lost a lot of face today. She was burning with anger, but she did not dare to offend Jing Hailan.
she could only glare at shi yan angrily, only to be met with shi yan’s elegant smile.
shi yan’s smile was very gentle, but for a moment, she felt an inexplicable chill in her heart.
She looked at Shi Yan in a daze and listened to her continue with a smile.”if you have any opinions or dissatisfaction with me, the two of you can say it in front of me, there’s no need to hide it.”
” but if i remember correctly, i don’t seem to be familiar with the two of you. could it be that the two of you have been taught to gossip about others behind their backs? ”
the originally noisy party had quieted down a lot because of jing hailan’s splash just now. now that shi yan had spoken, the people who were still talking quieted down one after another, perhaps because of her elegant and quiet temperament.
There were at least 50 people at the party, and most of them were prominent figures in Haicheng. Su mi felt embarrassed being stared at by so many eyes. She wanted to scold them back, but she didn’t dare to.
It was because she was indeed in the wrong to gossip.
if she scolded him back, her reputation in haicheng would be ruined tomorrow!
However, she was not willing to just let it go after embarrassing herself so much!
She did not dare to face Jing Hailan and the others, so she gritted her teeth and said to Shi Yan, ” “How is it gossip? am i not telling the truth? what was the occasion today? Does miss Shi think that you’re dressed like this? You’re the one who’s impolite, and you won’t allow others to say it?”
he avoided the main point and did not mention how she had called shi yan a wild chicken and how she wanted to become a golden phoenix.
It could be seen that su mi had some brains.
“What occasion? Isn’t it just a normal party?” jiang rui scoffed.
“it’s not a formal banquet or cocktail party, so why can’t i wear anything? It’s good to be free.”
She knew that someone would find trouble for her.
However, she didn’t regret that she didn’t force Yan to change into more formal clothes. Yan could wear whatever she wanted. Why did she have to make things difficult for herself for someone else? Even if Yan dressed up formally today, people would still find other reasons to cause trouble.
“besides, this is second brother han’s place. as the owner, he doesn’t have any opinion on yan’s clothes. “Su mi, Wang Jia, don’t you think that you’ve overstepped your boundaries? Or are you guys representing second brother Han or the Han family?”
These words were a little heavy. If han di was a narrow-minded person, these two people would have offended him. They might even have offended the Han family.
” other people’s actions have nothing to do with my second brother or the han family. rui ‘er, don’t push everyone to the han family. our family’s threshold is not that low. ” hanyu’s tone was mocking.
Of course, this mockery was directed at su mi and Wang Jia.
He glanced at Shi Yan as he spoke.
This little girl from the countryside, as rumored, surprised him.
not only was her appearance and temperament extraordinary, but she was also so unyielding. most importantly, when she just got up, she gave people the feeling of being calm and indifferent, which was even rarer.
this kind of calm heart was not something anyone could have.
he wondered what kind of family could have raised such a person.
he was only nineteen years old.
Even a nineteen-year-old child from a great aristocratic family might not have her kind heart.
yes, even if there was no evidence, hanyu was 90% sure that the rumor about shi yan, the orphan girl from the countryside, was false.
han yu’s words made su mi and wang jia blush.
there was nothing more embarrassing than being slapped in the face!
However, Hanyu obviously did not plan to let them go so easily. He continued, ” “su mi, are you tired of your family’s rise in recent years and want to return to how it was in the past? if you are, i can help you talk to su mu.”
su mi’s face suddenly turned pale and she hurriedly said, ” “I was speaking without thinking just now! brother hanyu, please don’t tell my cousin about such a small matter, just do it for sister shuangshuang’s sake.”
without the su family’s support, her family would not have the status they had today, and she would not have been able to enter this circle! She did not want to lose everything she had now, and she could not lose it!
With just one word from su mu, she would immediately lose all of this!
However, she didn’t notice that her words made han shuangshuang’s expression change instantly.
as expected, the next second, han yu turned to han shuangshuang. ” “shuang shuang, don’t you look at who you’re making friends with? You’re the one who brought them here, and today is your brother’s place. Aren’t you afraid of embarrassing your brother and the Han family by watching them talk about guests in private?”
having been shamed by her own cousin in public, han shuangshuang’s expression was very ugly.
However, with so many people staring at her, she couldn’t refute, or it would only be more embarrassing.
He clenched his fist and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. ” i’m sorry, third brother. i saw rui ‘er, sister hailan, and miss shi coming down the stairs just now. i was too busy greeting them and didn’t pay attention to what mi’ er and the others were saying. ”
han di and han shuangshuang were from the han family’s main branch, while han yu was from the han family’s second branch. However, according to the family ranking, han di was second, Han Yu was third, and han shuangshuang was the only girl in the Han family’s grandson generation.
however, even if han shuangshuang was the only girl in the han family, han yu’s relationship with her was only average, and han yu had always been someone who did as he pleased.
A mistake was a mistake, and he would not give han shuangshuang any face.
Others might not know, but he knew what han shuangshuang was thinking.
As long as she reminded or warned them, su mi and the others would not dare to gossip in the Han family’s territory.
it could be seen that han shuangshuang had silently allowed su mi and the others to say such things.
“since you’ve brought him here, you have to keep an eye on him! you’re really good for being so embarrassed in your own territory!”
many pairs of eyes fell on her, and han shuangshuang could even feel the disdain in many of their eyes. she felt as if her face was on fire.
