Yan Jiu casually shifted his gaze, his eyes falling on Yu Xiaoqin beside him.
"I heard you like to bully others using your power."
Swept by his glance, Yu Xiaoqin shivered and fell to the ground, looking up at him while swallowing hard, her face pale.
Yan Jiu curled his lips into a wicked smile: "Coincidentally, I like it too."
He stepped forward slowly, Yu Xiaoqin uneasily retreated on the ground, filled with intense fear.
"No... no, Mr. Jiu, it’s a misunderstanding! Really, it’s a misunderstanding!"
Soon, one of Yan Jiu’s leather shoes softly landed on Yu Xiaoqin’s hand, not exerting much force, yet it startled her into crying out imdiately.
"Mr. Jiu, spare , Mr. Jiu, spare ... I know my mistake, I truly know my mistake!"
"Just now I heard soone was supposed to kneel and apologize, how co I haven’t seen it?" Yan Jiu adjusted his tie.
Yu Xiaoqin, frightened, imdiately knelt down: "Mr. Jiu... Mr. Jiu, I really know my mistake!"
Yan Jiu chuckled lightly: "It’s not ."
Yu Xiaoqin was stunned for a mont, looking up at Qiao Mo behind Yan Jiu, swallowing hard, then turned to glance at Shen Tingting.
Seeing Shen Tingting had no intention to speak on her behalf, Yu Xiaoqin hesitated for a mont, then turned towards Qiao Mo, saying: "Qiao Mo, I’m sorry... I misunderstood you, I should have clarified things before speaking, please forgive this ti."
Looking at the two embarrassed people before her, Qiao Mo was sowhat dazed.
Power and money are truly a remarkable thing.
They can separate those in love, and turn friends against each other.
They can buy life and death, trample on dignity, and force enemies to bow.
Qiao Mo no longer made things difficult for her, the supervisor on the side imdiately stepped forward to smooth things over: "Alright, everyone disperse... everyone disperse!"
The crowd gradually dispersed, yet Qiao Mo remained silent beside Yan Yiheng.
Yu Xiaoqin stepped forward to help Shen Tingting up from the ground, speaking tentatively: "Tingting, are you okay?"
"I’m fine, just feeling a bit uncomfortable physically." Shen Tingting spoke softly, which reassured Yu Xiaoqin a bit.
When Shen Tingting stood up, Yu Xiaoqin supported her while walking out, probing again: "Tingting... you... you won’t bla , right? I didn’t expect Qiao Mo’s ring... would be real."
Shen Tingting turned around, comforting her: "It’s not your fault, it’s mine. I was misled into believing I got a real ring, didn’t expect to be deceived, and moreover, causing you embarrassnt."
Yu Xiaoqin felt a bit more at ease: "Tingting, you really don’t bla ?"
"Of course not, you did it for . How would I bla you?"
...
The two walked out of the banquet hall together, yet the party continued, everyone regaining their previous enthusiasm.
Yu Qianxun walked to Qiao Mo’s side, looking at her full of apology: "Sorry Xiao Mo, if it weren’t for my loud voice at the start, maybe they wouldn’t have noticed your ring and caused all this trouble."
"Qianxun, they were coming after anyway, even if you hadn’t spoken up, they still would’ve eventually noticed." Qiao Mo softly reassured her.
"Xiao Mo, it’s hard on you too, huh?" Yu Qianxun spoke again.
Qiao Mo remained silent.
"Being with Tingting for so long, I really didn’t expect her to be like this..."
Yu Qianxun sighed lightly, eyes filled with disappointnt.
Qiao Mo gently took her hand: "Qianxun, thank you for believing in , and thank you for believing in my father."
