Shen Mei slipped out of the banquet hall. Although her maid was eager to see what would happen after the second young lady bullied Xu Zi, she still followed Shen Mei out.
The maid always remembered Shen Wancheng's instructions to keep an eye on Shen Mei.
After noticing the maid following her, Shen Mei asked, "Where can I make a phone call here?"
The maid was taken aback. She thought Shen Mei wanted to find Shen Wancheng to get help for Shen Yao, so the maid replied, "Miss is in the building behind, accompanying Madam."
Shen Mei was a little impatient. "I didn't ask Shen Wancheng. I asked where I could make a phone call."
It turns out this person wasn't worried about the second young lady suffering a loss.
The maid suddenly realized that she had been too optimistic about the man in front of her.
But the maid still hoped that Shen Wancheng could bring his wife to the rescue, so the maid said, "There's a telephone in the building behind."
Shen Mei didn't think much of it and said, "Then take me there."
Shen Mei and the maid hadn't walked far when they encountered Shen Wancheng and He Lin, who had changed into formal attire.
Shen Mei probably didn't expect to run into Shen Wancheng, and stood there stunned, while the servant greeted her first.
"Madam, Miss."
Shen Wancheng asked, "How did you all end up here?"
"Sister, Yao got into a fight with someone in the banquet hall. You should go and check on her."
Shen Wancheng was startled and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
"Someone said a few sarcastic things to Sister Yao, and Sister Yao poured red wine on their head."
"Heh~"
He Lin, who had been silent until now, chuckled softly.
Shen Wancheng looked at He Lin in confusion. What was so funny about this?
He Lin said with a smile, "My daughter has some of my charm when I was young."
Shen Wancheng sighed, "Is this the important point?"
However, Shen Wancheng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Shen Yao had not been bullied.
This is, after all, the He Mansion. As long as Shen Yao isn't bullied on the spot, once things get out of hand and Xu Pingtao arrives, he'll definitely back her up.
However, Shen Wancheng also needs to go and check on her quickly. Shen Yao often acts without thinking, and if she retaliates after being wronged, it might end up being Shen Yao's fault.
Seeing that Shen Yao was in a hurry to go to the banquet hall, Shen Mei didn't want to go back with her right now, so she asked Shen Wancheng, "Sister, can I borrow your phone for a moment?"
What do you need the phone for?
Shen Mei remained silent.
Shen Wancheng didn't want to talk about such trivial matters with Shen Mei. She didn't expect Shen Mei to be of any help to her anyway. If Shen Mei were useful, she wouldn't have abandoned Shen Yao at this time and run out to borrow a phone.
Shen Wancheng instructed the maid, "Go with Shen Mei to make a phone call."
There was another layer to Shen Wancheng's words: keep a close eye on Shen Mei.
The maid nodded to Shen Wancheng, indicating that she understood.
Shen Wancheng and He Lin continued walking forward. He Lin never mentioned Shen Mei from beginning to end, as if she had never met her. Perhaps in her eyes, Shen Mei was just a dispensable little ant, not worth mentioning at all.
On the way to the banquet hall, He Lin praised Shen Yao again, saying that she was not lenient when things happened and would take revenge on the spot, just like she was in her youth.
Shen Wancheng sighed, no wonder Shen Yao knew how to respond as soon as she heard He Lin's tone of voice when they first met.
In ancient times, wasn't Shen Yao also a young lady from a prominent family?
When Shen Wancheng arrived at the banquet hall, Xu Pingtao was already at the scene of the farce.
Shen Wancheng saw that Xu Pingtao had the maid take Xu Zi downstairs to change into a dress and freshen up again. Xu Zi cried and refused to leave, demanding an explanation from Xu Pingtao.
Shen Yao crossed her arms, refusing to back down, saying that Xu Zi, as a guest, had spoken rudely to the host of the banquet first.
Xu Zi asked Shen Yao, "What did I say to you? Can you repeat it?"
Shen Yao said frankly, "I don't understand what you're saying, so how can I repeat it? Anyway, I know what you're saying isn't nice."
Xu Zi's tone was sarcastic and indignant, "You can't even understand what I'm saying, yet you accuse me of insulting you? Even a shrew like you isn't as cultured as you. Mr. Xu, your acknowledgment of this granddaughter is a disgrace to you."
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in the banquet hall spoke up, "Xu Zi, who are you talking to? What about your upbringing?"
Feeling wronged after being scolded by the middle-aged man, Xu Zi called out in a tearful voice, "Uncle."
Xu Pingtao's face darkened unusually because of Xu Zi's words. He asked the other two people present next to Xu Zi.
"What did Xu Zi say about Shen Yao? Repeat it."
The young ladies from the family next to Xu Zi never expected Xu Pingtao to question them. They exchanged glances, then looked at Xu Zi, who was glaring at them fiercely. Their faces turned pale with fright, and their minds were in complete chaos.
Although they knew that Xu Pingtao was a big shot in their family, they couldn't help but hope that someone like Xu Pingtao wouldn't bother with their petty squabbles and press for answers.
But Xu Zi knew all their secrets. If you offended Xu Zi, you would suffer the consequences once you left the banquet hall.
So one of the young ladies said in a trembling voice.
"We told her that she was incredibly lucky to be able to recognize Mr. Xu as her relative."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wancheng squeezed through the crowd and questioned them directly.
“Shen Yao won’t get angry because of these two sentences. What we want is Xu Zi’s original words.”
The young lady who was speaking glanced at Shen Wancheng, biting her lip and remaining silent.
Xu Pingtao said, suppressing his anger.
"Repeat the original words."
Another heiress, unable to withstand the pressure, repeated loudly.
“What kind of person is this? So crude.”
"The two girls from the inland who were with the country bumpkin were probably just trying their luck."
"If the country bumpkin can't understand human language, he should go and learn proper Hong Kong dialect first, okay?"
"His speech has a rustic accent, which is very laughable."
"Hmm...you probably don't know what 'laughable' means, right? Buffoon, clown, comical."
"Look at the foolish look in her eyes, she definitely doesn't understand what I'm saying."
As soon as the young lady finished speaking, her legs went weak, and she and another young lady collapsed to the ground at the same time.
The middle-aged man who had previously reprimanded Xu Zi spoke before Xu Pingtao.
"Xu Zi, think about your own position. Is this something you can say?"
Xu Zi wiped the red wine smeared on her face, her tone still aggrieved, "Uncle, even though I didn't say the right thing, she didn't have to hit me, did she?"
Shen Yao sneered, "If you dare say that again, I'll splash you with water anyway."
Xu Pingtao's face was cold and stern. "It seems that your Xu family doesn't think there's anything wrong with speaking rudely to the host at my He family banquet in my He mansion? So the Xu family has long since stopped taking my He family seriously."
The middle-aged man said, "Mr. Xu, you can acknowledge this person as your granddaughter, but you can also acknowledge other people. Is it worth severing ties between our two families for her sake? Although Xu Zi's words were unpleasant, it seems even more excessive for your granddaughter to bully people without even understanding what she was saying."
Shen Wancheng stepped forward and spoke.
"Does this gentleman mean that if the person being insulted doesn't understand, then it doesn't count as insulting them?"
