Chapter 661: Chapter 661: A Woman Who Can’t Go Public
“”Who dares to touch her!”
A cold, stern voice sounded from behind. Qin Youxuan abruptly turned around.
Not too far away, Dan Hanjie leisurely stepped over the crowd and walked toward her.
His strong presence caused the surrounding people to unconsciously make way for him, forming a path that led directly to Qin Youxuan.
He extended his arm to encircle her waist, drawing her into his embrace.
His sharp gaze swept over Ye Mingmei, who had just risen from the bench.
“Hanjie, she was the first to hit me!” Ye Mingmei complained, her eyes red. “A woman who is not worthy of the stage, who can only seduce men with fox-like charm, dares to lay a hand on me. I will not let this go!”
Ye Mingmei was certain that given Qin Youxuan’s family background, she must be nothing more than a woman Hanjie kept on the side. The Dan family would never allow such a humble woman to enter their doors.
Each time she referred to Qin Youxuan as ‘a woman who is not worthy of the stage,’ her words dripped with utmost contempt.
No one had ever dared to lay a hand on her in all the years she had lived.
This slap from Qin Youxuan not only left her stunned but also caused her to lose face completely.
If she didn’t fight back for her dignity, she wouldn’t be able to hold her head up in the future.
Ye Mingmei glared resentfully at Qin Youxuan. She was eager to tear her apart, but had to control herself because Hanjie was standing there.
“Hanjie, our two families have been friends for generations. Are you going to make me suffer because of a woman?”
With a hand over her face and a soft expression in her eyes, Ye Mingmei approached Dan Hanjie. Only then did she remove her hand.
The cheek that had been slapped was already visibly swollen, in stark contrast with the other half of her face.
Her disheveled hair made her appear in a state of great disarray.
Everyone attending the banquet today was of high social standing. Losing face , Ye Mingmei would become the joke of high society the next day.
Hearing her rude words, Dan Hanjie’s expression darkened instantly.
His enchanting eyes, filled with cold light, “Just for what Miss Ye said just now, if I had to intervene, it wouldn’t be just a slap.”
With a cold smirk, he said word by word, “I’m standing right here. I would like to see how Miss Ye intends to be rude to my wife.”
With these words, he publicly announced his relationship with Qin Youxuan.
The few well-bred young ladies who were causing trouble were dumbfounded when they heard it.
Even Ye Mingmei seemed to have heard something unbelievable, her delicate eyebrows wide open in shock, “What did you say she is to you?”
“It seems that Miss Ye’s cultivation is lacking, her ears can’t even hear properly.” Dan Hanjie tightened his grip on Qin Youxuan’s hand, taking a step forward, “As long as I’m here, anyone who dares to harm a hair on her head will pay back a hundredfold, a thousandfold. Miss Ye, you may try.”
After Dan Hanjie finished speaking, Qin Youxuan playfully poked his palm and blinked at him.
He didn’t need to be so angry. After all, she had already slapped Ye Mingmei and she wasn’t the one at a loss here.
If Hanjie continues to fight for her, it might appear that they are overly oppressing others.
Even though she loved his protective behavior.
Watching the interaction between the two, Ye Mingmei was completely stunned.
She moved her lips, unable to utter a word.
She had entirely lost the courage she had just now in bullying Qin Youxuan.
She couldn’t believe that Dan Hanjie had actually gotten married and that his wife was a woman of no pedigree…
“What’s going on? Ever since I walked in, all I’ve heard is noisy chatter. Hanjie, Miss Ye is our Dan Family’s valued guest, why is she crying?” Dan Yi came over from the crowd, taking a glance at the scene, he more or less guessed what had happened.
