95: Chapter 93 Bottom Line
At the cocktail party held in the dining room, many people gathered together, toasting and mingling with elegant manners, engaging in lively conversations.
Chang Ying followed her father, Chang Zhonghe, and stepmother, Zheng Ling, with a wine glass in hand, constantly weaving through the crowd to offer toasts.
But her face showed a cold disposition; at each stop, she would just offer a dry toast, take a small sip, then move on.
Facing these people, she felt uncomfortable all over, as if she were conversing with a group of people wearing masks.
She did not like this kind of occasion.
Yet even so, many scions and young masters sward around her like moths to a fla, either wanting to befriend her or to invite her for a dance.
Chang Ying was dressed quite simply, but it still couldn’t conceal her stunning beauty and figure.
Unfortunately, anyone who approached her for conversation was rejected by her.
“Ying’er, what are you doing?
This is a gathering between the wealthy rchants and the sons of great clans, how can you et anyone if you act like this!”
“That’s right, look, given your appearance, how many young masters admire you?
Just nod, and becoming one of Bin City’s top young madams is a piece of cake!”
“Since you don’t fancy these young masters, let’s go and offer a toast to Mr.
Tan now.
You can then dance with him, and get to know each other!”
Seeing Chang Ying almost driving away all those young masters who approached, Chang Zhonghe and Zheng Ling beca anxious and scolded her.
At this mont, Chang Zhonghe and Zheng Ling noticed Mr.
Tan had finished toasting with others and was starting to approach them, urging Chang Ying.
“Dad, Aunt Zheng, whether it’s about feelings or marriage, I want to make my own decisions!”
Chang Ying’s brows knitted, expressing her helplessness.
“What era are we living in now?
Love and marriage should be free.
Please, stop interfering, okay?”
“You brat!
If I don’t manage, would you end up with a penniless boy like him?”
Chang Zhonghe pointed at Lin Tian not far away, scolding angrily.
“Miss Chang, we et again.
May I invite you for a dance?”
At that mont, a tall young man ca over.
He bowed slightly to Chang Ying, his hand behind his back, the other hand stretched out elegantly in an inviting gesture.
Seeing the young man, both Chang Zhonghe and Zheng Ling were thrilled.
“Mr.
Tan, our Chang Ying was just hoping to dance with you!
To be personally invited by Mr.
Tan is truly an honor!”
Zheng Ling’s face was sared with flattery as she urged Chang Ying, “Quick, Ying’er, Mr.
Tan has personally invited you, don’t let his face fall!”
Across from them, Tan Lang was full of anticipation.
Chang Ying had the figure and appearance.
Compared with most of the beauties he had seen in Bin City, she was even more beautiful; there was a charm about her that made him want to conquer her.
And with his decent background, a fortune worth tens of millions, and a handso appearance, most girls could hardly resist his advances.
In his view, Chang Ying would be no exception.
Unfortunately, contrary to his expectation, Chang Ying simply gave him a cold glance and said indifferently, “I’m sorry, Mr.
Tan, I’m not feeling well.
Maybe you should invite so other beauty!”
Tan Lang’s expression stiffened slightly, while Chang Zhonghe and Zheng Ling panicked.
“You brat, what are you doing?”
After scolding Chang Ying, Chang Zhonghe and Zheng Ling quickly apologized to Tan Lang.
“Hehe, it’s alright!”
Tan Lang gave a light chuckle and said again, “I truly wish to invite Miss Chang for a dance!”
This ti, Chang Ying did not speak; instead, she shook her head and sat down at the side.
Seeing this, Tan Lang’s expression darkened, and he said ominously, “Are you refusing to give face to Tan Lang?
Very well!”
“Mr.
Tan…”
Chang Zhonghe and Zheng Ling, with faces full of anxiety, quickly said, “Chang Ying, hurry and apologize to Mr.
Tan!”
“I don’t know him at all, why should I apologize?”
Chang Ying, with her very strong character, naturally refused to apologize out of the blue.
This scene, Lin Tian watched with his own eyes.
He didn’t get up but simply shook his head as he continued to eat.
“Indeed, there are always those who sacrifice their daughters for power and money!”
Lin Tian had seen too many such sacrifices for the sake of powerful families in his past life.
At this mont,
a girl approached, standing beside Tan Lang.
She appeared to be around twenty, too, and with a disdainful look, she sized up Chang Ying and sneered, “You’re Chang Ying?”
“Miss Zhang, you know our Chang Ying as well?”
Seeing the girl’s arrival, Chang Zhonghe and Zheng Ling were once again invigorated and hurriedly called out.
This girl’s na was Zhang Ying, whose background was only slightly less prestigious than Tan Lang’s, but her father was a big shot at the district’s Criminal Investigation Bureau – so many people sucked up to him!
For governnt officials’ children like Tan Lang and Zhang Ying, knowing one ant having one more path to success, so naturally, Chang Zhonghe and Zheng Ling tried their best to curry favor.
“I am Chang Ying.
What do you want?”
Chang Ying looked up and glanced at the girl standing before her.
The girl’s face was full of arrogance, looking at her with a mix of disdain and intense hostility, which made Chang Ying’s voice grow even colder.
“Actually, I also like brother Tan Lang, but now that he’s interested in you, I feel a bit sad!”
Zhang Ying’s pretty face showed a look of sorrow as she sighed, “So now, please, Miss Chang, do
a favor!”
Chang Ying shook her head and said, “Mr.
Tan and Miss Zhang both co from better backgrounds than , with powerful family connections.
What kind of favor could you possibly need from ?”
“Ying’er, shut up!”
Chang Zhonghe suddenly shouted, then with a sycophantic face, said, “Miss Zhang, whatever you need help with, just say the word!”
“Since uncle and auntie agree, then I’ll just say it!”
Zhang Ying’s gaze swept over Chang Ying and said, “I suppose Miss Chang is still a virgin, right?
How about this: you spend tonight with Tan Lang, satisfy his needs, and I’ll give you money.
Na your price!”
What!
Chang Zhonghe and Zheng Ling changed in complexion, dumbfounded.
And Chang Ying’s face flushed with sha and anger as her body shook with rage.
“Get lost, don’t disgust !”
Unable to contain her anger, Chang Ying couldn’t help but curse fiercely.
“Get lost?”
Zhang Ying’s pretty face darkened, her beautiful eyes glinting with sly amusent.
Then, she flung her glass of wine, soaking Chang Ying with half a cup.
Not only that, she grabbed a plate of pastries from nearby and slamd it onto Chang Ying’s face.
“Spit out, you whore, dare you put on airs in front of ?
Offering your virginity to brother Tan Lang is an honor for you, and now you’re playing innocent!”
Zhang Ying spat onto Chang Ying’s face, then after noticing a crumb of pastry on her high-heeled shoe, she sneered, “Cheap thing, now kneel down and lick my shoes clean!”
“You…”
Chang Ying was inherently kind-hearted and gentle; she had never faced such humiliation and abuse.
Tears began to fall as she trembled, not knowing what to do.
anwhile,
Lin Tian, who had been sitting nearby eating, had seen the entire scene clearly.
As soon as he heard Zhang Ying’s words and saw Chang Ying splashed with wine and smashed with a cake, he stood up.
“Even if it’s a woman, if you cross my line, I will kill without hesitation!”
Lin Tian’s heart burned with fury.
In his previous life, he had cultivated under DuanMuuu Yue, and one of his senior sisters had been captured by enemies, had her Cultivation destroyed, sold to a brothel, suffered utter humiliation, and eventually died tragically in despair.
That was a grudge from his past life that he could never let go.
Now, seeing Chang Ying being forced and humiliated, his eyes revealed murderous intent.
Slap!
He stepped forward and slapped Zhang Ying aside.
Then, taking a packet of tissues, he handed them to Chang Ying and comforted her, “Sister Chang Ying, it’s alright now, leave it to .
Wipe your face first!”
