They all turned their heads in the direction of the breeze.
As they turned around, they saw the door of the banquet hall open and someone striding in.
Everyone widened their eyes in surprise.
Lu Ning?!
Dressed in a black gown, she barged into their boisterous celebrations like a dark elf, her chilling presence silencing the people near her.
“Thank you for coming down today. Everyone knows about Little Yi and Allan, and these two children have already become adults. Please, do attend the engagement banquet later on. We…”
Noticing that something was wrong, the people in front stopped talking and looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
Lù Yue’an, who was appearing meek and shy, also looked up.
However, someone blocked her view. When she saw her, Lu Ning was already walking over.
With her every step, everyone looked at her with confusion, as if they could not understand what was happening. Nobody stopped her, and some even gave way to her.
Eventually, Lu Ning walked up to Lb Yue’an.
Lù Yue’an looked at her.
“Sister Ning…”
As soon as she started to speak) she felt a sharp pain on her cheek) and her
face flipped to the side due to the sudden force.
The slap rang out with a crisp, and everyone clearly saw Lu Ning raise her hand and slap Lù Yue’an’s across the face.
Everyone was even more stunned. When they realized what happened, they only became even more appalled. The surroundings were so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
“What are you doing!?”
“Lu Ning!’
Li Chuan and Shi Qingyue came to their senses and hurried over, glaring at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning’s eyes were bloodshot as she stared at them coldly.
Lin Yi looked at her and walked forward towards her. He raised his hand and touched her cold wrist.
“What’s with you?
He frowned, his eyes filled with worry.
Zhao Junli hurriedly patted his shoulder, signaling for him to mind his own business.
“You’re out of control!”
Shi Qingyue shouted and raised her hand to hit her, but Lu Ning caught her hand deftly.
Her eyes were fixed on Lù Yue’an, as if she wanted to skin her alive.
“Despicable! Shameless!”
She gritted her teeth and spat out these cold words.
Then, she shook off Shi Qingyue’s hand and turned around without looking back.
“Stop! Stop right there! You think you can run right after you hit her?!
Someone, call the police! Call the police!”
Lu Ning did not care about the ruckus behind her at all. She heard footsteps chasing after her, but they stopped.
She stopped as well.
She looked up and saw Huo Jinyan.
He stood in front of her, peering down at her. He gently draped his coat over her; then, he looked at the people behind her.
No more sounds came from behind her.
Huo Jinyan put his arm around her shoulders and led her out.
The Old Master, who had been silent all this while, looked at her back that was gradually shrinking away. He raised his hand and called for the person beside him.
Huo Jinyan held her in his arms as they walked out. She leaned against him, as if she had lost her fulcrum, and was walking with her entire body weighing on him.
She was clearly so headstrong and valiant inside just now, scaring everyone in the room who dared to stop her, but at this moment, it was as if all her strength had been sapped from her.
“Young Mistress.”
Before they got into the car, someone called out to them.
“Young Mistress, the Old Master wishes to see you. He said he has something for you.”
Huo Jinyan glanced at her. “You don’t have to go if you don’t want to.”
Lu Ning looked up at him. Her eyes were dazed, but she nodded. “I’ll go.”
“I’ll take you there.”
Following him, Huo Jinyan brought Lu Ning to the main house of the Lt family.
As soon as they walked in, warmth washed over them. Huo Jinyan did not care about anything else and directly grabbed a large blanket from the sofa; he wrapped it around Lu Ning, even her legs..
