Chapter 184: Chapter 185 Tense Situation_1 Chapter 184: Chapter 185 Tense Situation_1 Qiao Xiaren secretly observed her surroundings. There were no cameras, no reporters, and not many people around Nie Yitong.
“Xiaren, you’re here?” Bai Xinran asked with an indifferent expression. Seeing that everyone had arrived, she quickly called the waiter over to place their orders.
“Order whatever you want.”
Qiao Xiaren glanced at the menu but didn’t feel any appetite. With a lazy smile, she slid the menu across the table with a brazen push. It scraped against the wood, making a jarring noise before coming to a stop right in front of Nie Yitong.
“Miss Nie, you order first.”
Xiaren leaned back slightly, her expression a little enigmatic. Her half-smiling gaze landed on Nie Yitong. Somehow, it gave off a commanding air, as if she was a queen looking down at her subjects.
This aura was more intense than Nie Yitong’s. Unlike the docile reactions of the other girls, hers was powerful enough to intimidate everyone present.
Nie Yitong’s expression shifted, but she still picked up the menu. She cursed inwardly, wondering how she could feel such a strong vibe from a young girl.
Nie Yitong tried to compose herself as she began to flip through the menu.
“What the hell! Shi Ruo, did you do that on purpose?” Seeing red wine spill onto her dress, Nie Yitong’s face turned sour. This dress, worth thousands, was one of her favorite new purchases, and now it was ruined by Shi Ruo!
Shi Ruo, taken aback by her own clumsiness, hurriedly apologised, “I’m sorry, it was accidental.”
“Shi Ruo, how could you be so careless? You spilled wine on Sister Yitong. Do you know how distinguished she is?” Huang Nianshuang berated Shi Ruo while trying to help Nie Yitong wipe off the wine.
Shi Ruo frowned, “I’ve said it was an accident and I’ve apologised.” She hated this kind of fair-weather friend, always ready to curry favor with Nie Yitong while belittling others.
“Who do you think you are? Your apology is an insult to my ears. Shi Ruo, you did it on purpose because you’re jealous of me!” Nie Yitong, always known for her foul temper, had her pretty face twist with anger as Shi Ruo remained nonchalant.
“Jealous of you? Miss Nie, aren’t you feeling too good about yourself?”
Nie Yitong became even angrier, pointing at Shi Ruo and commanding, “Kneel down and apologize and I’ll forgive you!”
“Kneel down? Why should I?”
“Because you’re lowborn, and I’m the star here. You’re beneath me!” Everyone was taken aback by how terrifying Nie Yitong could be when she was angry, rendering them speechless.
“Enough!” Qiao Xiaren calmly stood up, her gleaming ink-black eyes cold and intimidating. “Miss Nie, you’re a popular star in the entertainment industry, yet here you are behaving like a drama queen. Do you not see how ugly you look? Always belittling others with your ‘superior’ status. Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror to see who you really are? This isn’t ancient times, you’re not some noble princess. Who gave you the right to step on others?”
Some people always act high and mighty like they’re royalty and everyone else is worthless. They are really too full of themselves!
“What did you say? Say it again!” Nie Yitong was fuming, shaking with rage. She couldn’t believe a young girl dared to challenge her in public!
Qiao Xiaren, with a cold laugh, repeated, “I said, don’t act so high and mighty!”
“Qiao Xiaren!” Nie Yitong raised her hand as if to slap her but was quickly pulled back by Bai Xinran. Bai leaned in to whisper something in her ear, after which Nie Yitong, still fuming, turned her face away.
