At this moment, Ling Chi was in an extremely sorry state. Qu Zhen wanted to take out a handkerchief to wipe his face.

In the corner of the room, there was a surveillance camera with a red light on, recording everything that had happened.

Ling Chi gently pushed Qu Zhen away. With a fierce expression, he picked up a wine bottle and rushed towards Qu Xiao. He cursed viciously, “We were meant to celebrate Zhen’s return to China today. I didn’t plan on arguing with you. You started it. Qu Xiao, you’re courting death!”

Ling Chi broke the wine bottle. The sharp glass almost pierced Qu Xiao’s left cheek.

Qu Xiao stood quietly on the spot. She had no intention of dodging.

She looked straight into Ling Chi’s eyes. The corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile as she asked, “You dare to touch a piece of hair on my head? What do you think the consequences will be when Shang Yan finds out? Do you still remember the few pieces of land that the Ling family lost?”.

Ling Chi’s movements paused as he gritted his teeth and glared angrily at Qu Xiao.

“For just two projects, Uncle Ling sent you overseas for a few months. Can you really bear the consequences of hurting me?”

Qu Xiao had Shang Yan as her backer which made Ling Chi somewhat fearful.

No one in the private room dared to speak. Qu Qi crossed her arms as she anxiously urged and incited Ling Chi to speak, “Don’t listen to her. CEO Shang and her are merely in a business marriage. He doesn’t care about her at all. Zhen is actually closer to him than she is. Shang Yan will definitely not help Qu Xiao!”

“Is that so? I’m Shang Yan’s legal wife. If word gets out, Ling Chi hurting me would be seen as him disrespecting the Shang family.”

Qu Xiao calmly retorted back to Qu Qi. She stared at Ling Chi with a smile as she slowly spoke with a sense of oppression emanating from her entire body, “Do you want to bet? If you hit me with the wine bottle, how many more properties of the Ling family will remain in this city tomorrow?”

No one had expected Qu Xiao to have such boldness. They all stared at her and Ling Chi with their eyes wide open.

Qu Zhen stood up with a pale face. She wanted to mediate Qu Xiao’s emotions as she spoke in an extremely soft voice, “Xiao, we’re all friends. Don’t go too far. They have drunk too much so they can’t control what they’re saying.”

“I will apologize to you on their behalf. Don’t blame Ling Chi, okay?”

Qu Xiao looked sideways at Qu Zhen and the corners of her lips suddenly curved into a smile as she asked in return, “You make it sounds so easy.. If they humiliated you like how they humiliated me just now, would you be able to forgive them? Pretend that nothing happened and forget everything?”

“You probably haven’t seen the news about Ling Chi, right?”

Qu Xiao lowered her head and rummaged through her phone. Then, she passed the news about Ling Chi and a call girl to Qu Zhen.

Ling Chi was so angry that he wanted to pounce over to stop her. Qu Xiao gently lifted the tip of her toes and tripped him. Looking at the man who had fallen to the ground, she quietly admired the smile on Qu Zhen’s face slowly dissipating, turning into confusion to surprise to disbelief, it was very dramatic. “Believe me! That’s all fake!”

Ling Chi roared. Qu Zhen’s hands that were holding the phone trembled slightly. With slightly red eyes, she looked at Qu Xiao and asked, “Xiao, these…”

The picture of a call girl nestling in Ling Chi’s embrace was extremely shocking to see. The headline of the news was even more difficult for Qu Zhen to accept. “He was probably afraid that you would see it, so he spent a large sum of money to get the news media to delete the report. Unfortunately, back then, he had wanted to frame me. I secretly kept a few copies, thinking that I might be able to use them someday.” “This is my congratulatory gift to you for returning to China. I’ll let you see how hypocritical Ling Chi is.”

“He’s not worth trusting.”

After Qu Xiao said that, Qu Zhen could not control her tears and threw the phone down. She covered her mouth and ran out of the private room.

Ling Chi hurriedly wanted to chase after her. Covered in dirt, he ran to the door and suddenly stopped. He turned around and glared fiercely at Qu Xiao as he said, “Qu Xiao. I will remember this. Be prepared.”

Qu Xiao shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. She picked up her bag on the ground and clapped her hands as she prepared to leave.

Qu Qi glared at Qu Xiao resentfully and said angrily, “You won’t be so lucky next time!”

“I’ll make you pay sooner or later! I will push you to the edge and leave you unable to escape!”

Qu Xiao turned around and looked at her twisted face. She raised her hand and played with the strands of hair on her forehead as she said with a light smile, “I’ll wait.”
