Chapter 154 - Chapter 154: Family Matter
Zhao Fei’s head was buzzing from the slap, as if a swarm of bees were circling inside her head. Her face was swollen and her eyes were red. She looked pitiful.
When Mrs. Huang saw her like this, she became even angrier. She pointed at her nose and said, “You poured the whole glass of wine on me. How am I supposed to wear this gown? You didn’t even apologize and you’re still putting on an act for whom to see?”
Mrs. Huang’s gown was light-colored. After being splashed with the glass of red wine, she could not wear it anymore. Even if the waiter brought a towel to wipe it for her, the gown was already ruined.
!!
The other people in the banquet hall also gathered because of this matter.
Zhao Fei covered her face, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito. “I… I didn’t do it on purpose…”
“It doesn’t look like this young lady did it on purpose. Why don’t we just forget about it?” The people who came to watch the show also said.
“She didn’t do it on purpose?” Mrs. Wang laughed in anger. “I don’t know how many people she has tricked with this method!”
Mr. Huang was also in the crowd. He had wanted to come over to watch the show but when he realized that his wife was one of the parties, he wanted to stop her but he felt too embarrassed to do so.
The Huang family had been in chaos these few days and Mrs. Huang’s natal family had already gotten involved for this reason.
Therefore, Mr. Huang frowned and turned to leave.
But his friend bumped into him and said, “Look at that young lady. Doesn’t she look like the woman who was with your son…”
Before his friend could finish speaking, Mr. Huang seemed to have a stress reaction. He said loudly, “This woman has nothing to do with my son. Don’t talk nonsense here!”
With this shout, everyone’s gazes fell on him.
Someone in the crowd shouted, “So, it’s a family matter.”
Some people started whispering again which completely broke the last line of defense in Mr. Huang’s heart. He roared loudly, “What do you mean family matter? My son doesn’t even know her!”
He had had enough.
The Huang family was in chaos just because of such a trivial matter and such an unknown woman.
He wanted to clear his son’s name but no one, from his wife to his friends, were willing to listen to him. There were even some who thought that he was having an affair with this unknown woman.
It was all this woman’s fault that the Huang family had become like this!
“This woman deliberately came to harm my son and ruin the Huang family’s reputation!”
His friend tugged at his sleeve and signaled him with his eyes, “It’s just this one thing. Why don’t you admit it no matter what? It’s such an ugly matter.”
The others who were watching the show also laughed.
Mr. Huang was so angry that his blood pressure soared. He felt like it was about to burst out of his head.
“There is indeed a problem with this matter.” Xiao Zhe walked out of the crowd and said this.
Xiao Zhe’s appearance was undoubtedly like a ray of light to Zhao Fei.
However, in the next second, Xiao Zhe walked in front of Zhao Fei and squatted down to ask her, “Miss Zhao Fei, you were in Hall 1 of the hotel on the day of the opening ceremony. Logically speaking, you shouldn’t have gone to the bathroom on the left. Why did you take such a long way to go all the way there?”
Zhao Fei’s mind was originally filled with a sweet love song, but now it suddenly became background music for solving a case.
“There aren’t many people in that washroom.
She made up an excuse on the spot.
“I’ve already checked the surveillance cameras over there. The washroom over there isn’t crowded either. Moreover, there was no one in the bathroom at all from the time you went out.”
Zhao Fei was completely speechless.
Who would have the time to check the surveillance footage from that day? Was Xiao Zhe insane?
It was originally just a family matter. Everyone stood here and listened to the commotion. However, after Xiao zne said tms, tms matter cnanged.
It was as if there was some kind of conspiracy.
Xi Wan clung onto Su Xun’s arm, feeling drowsy.
A director was filming opposite. He was holding a glass of red wine and saying something to Su Xun.
Xi Wan was about to fall asleep if she continued listening, so she diverted her attention to make herself more energetic.
“What’s happening now?” She asked the system.
The system replied: [The female protagonist and Mrs. Huang bumped into each other, and the female protagonist spilled red wine all over Mrs. Huang.] Xi Wan asked, “Where’s the male protagonist? Wasn’t he with her?”
The system replied: [He went out to get some fresh air and is currently smoking in the back garden.] “What about the second male protagonist?”
He’s adding fuel to the flames.]
Xi Wan noticed that something was wrong with the plot, so she asked again, “What about the third male protagonist?”
[He’s watching the show..]
