Xi Fangli had originally been turning his head to introduce Tang Wan to a colleague.
"...Yes, my young apprentice joined late and hasn’t mastered her art yet. I’ve been overseas taking care of my grandson and haven’t had time to mentor her. Once we’re back in Beijing, I’ll have to rely on you to take care of her."
"My little apprentice is so foolish, she has caused several incidents, and I’m worried about her..."
Tang Wan heard a security guard cry out in alarm, and as she turned her head, she saw You Congrong charging toward them.
Xi Fangli was over 60 years old; a fall could be serious at his age.
"Damn it, You Congrong must be crazy," Qi Zeyan frowned.
Jiang Jinsang suddenly stood up from his seat, but there was a distance between them, making it impossible to reach him in time.
Jiang Jiu and Jiang Cuo, although they had arrived together, could not enter without an invitation as per the exhibition rules; if everyone could bring their own bodyguards, it would be chaos.
It was Jiang Chengsi who always acted defiantly and simply stood up, stepping on chairs and tables to vault over...
"Chengsi!" the old lady frowned.
He had actually stepped across the table in front of her!
Xi Fangli also noticed the commotion to the side, but given his age, he wasn’t as fast, only feeling his arm being pulled as he came to his senses to see Tang Wan blocking in front of him.
You Congrong’s charge was impulsive, clearly still disturbed from being publicly scolded by Tang Wan the day before. Suddenly facing her made him falter...
The next second, he was kicked over!
Feeling a tightness in his chest, he chaotically flailed, stumbling backward and was flipped onto the ground, hitting the chair behind him, which caused the person sitting there to stand up in panic, as if trying to avoid some living garbage.
You Congrong breathed heavily, looking up at the man in front of him, whose gaze was malevolent and imposing.
The onlookers were astonished:
To jump directly over the tables and chairs, looking at the entire Beijing circle, which young master didn’t care about his image? Who else could be as unruly and reckless, utterly disregarding his appearance?
He was not only an anomaly within the Jiang Family but also in the entire Beijing circle.
For anyone else, no one would dare act this audaciously.
"Fourth Brother!" Tang Wan sighed in relief upon seeing Jiang Chengsi.
"You’ve got real guts, after messing with my grandmother, and now you try to attack my sister-in-law. You’ve got some nerve, eh? Do you think the Jiang Family has no one left?" Jiang Chengsi was always defiant.
He looked recklessly disdainful, brushed off his pants with a sweeping motion, and scoffed, "What a piece of work!"
"Fourth Brother," Jiang Jinsang had also walked over from his seat.
Jiang Chengsi remained silent, merely stepping aside.
You Congrong had already gotten up with the help of a chair, his stomach aching unbearably. He had been rash, without thinking much further.
"Is she crazy, trying to go down with Master Xi?"
"She deserved that kick for being such an idiot. In broad daylight, what was she thinking?"
"Must have been too stimulated."
At that moment, she didn’t know how to conclude, and the next second, she saw a black figure approaching her; she looked up to see Tang Wan closing in, instinctively stepping back until she was trapped by the furniture.
"What, what do you want to do?"
"That should be my line. What do you want to do? Attempted murder?" Tang Wan’s eyes and brows were gentle, even softly muttering, but the last few words were heavily emphasized.
"Then what were you trying to do!" Tang Wan pressed forward, cornering You Congrong against the chair as people around them swiftly moved away, fearing they might get involved.
You Congrong was thinking that if only Xi Fangli and Tang Wan disappeared, everything could revert, and she could still be the star beloved by everyone. She had just been impulsive... Get full chapters from novęlfire.net
"It seems even now, you haven’t come to your senses!"
"You Congrong, why do your fans chase after me relentlessly? You bear a great responsibility for what you say and do amongst your fans. Do I really need to make all of this public?"
"After all the chaos you’ve caused at the exhibition, we haven’t done anything to you, yet you still don’t seem to grasp the situation..."
Tang Wan noticed an unopened bottle of mineral water on a nearby table, provided by the organizers.
She picked it up, twisted off the cap, and the cool water splashed onto You Congrong’s face, pouring over her head...
"Ah—" The water was cold, You Congrong instinctively cried out, raising her hand to shield herself, but Tang Wan was quick, pouring half the water, then tossing the remaining water along with the bottle at her, "Are you awake now?"
