Chapter 917 - A Minor Accident (1/2)

“Yeah, that’s Leng Zhiyuan. I heard that she was shot to death in prison last time. I wonder how she came back to life. ”

At this time, a woman quickly interrupted them and hushed, “Hey, keep your voices down. Don’t gossip about this topic. Whether she is Leng Zhiyuan or not is not something we can talk about. The higher-ups did not investigate, so don’t ask for trouble! ”

Although the other women were not convinced when they heard these words, they all shrunk their heads in fear. This was a political issue. It was not something that ordinary high-ranking officials or noble families could talk about.

This kind of topic was quite sensitive.

“Humph, if you don’t want us to talk about it, then we won’t talk about it. We’ll just treat her as Miss Manyao. Well, ain’t she lucky? In the past, when she was with Major General Zhou, the Zhou family treated her like a queen. Who would have thought that she’d hooked up with Ye Si after breaking up with Major General Zhou? He is a beautiful young master in the capital. We couldn’t even get close to Ye Si, yet this Miss Manyao suddenly became Ye Si’s girlfriend. How can we not get angry? ”

“That’s right, she has taken over all the good things in the world. She had undoubtedly became the spotlight at tonight’s banquet and had made a name for herself. ”

At this moment, a woman looked at Leng Zhiyuan with increasing hatred. “Just You Wait, I’ll go and embarrass her. ”

“Hey, Xiao Mo. Don’t go! ”

“Alright now, just let Xiao Mo go. Xiao Mo had had a crush on Ye Si for a long time. Do you think she will be able to work off that anger by doing nothing? She won’t feel good unless she goes.”

“But that Miss Manyao has someone protecting her… ”

…

Ye Xiaotao bumped into a friend and the two of them went to the side to play. Leng Zhiyuan said goodbye, then walked towards the bathroom.

She didn’t like such kind of public occasion.

After walking a few steps, there was a group of wealthy ladies gathered in front of them and excitedly comparing the pieces of jewelry they wore. She took a glance and walked past them from behind.

However, at this moment, there was an “Aiyo” sound. A wealthy lady who was approaching her suddenly staggered. The lady holding a glass of red wine was about to bump into her. The wine was about to spill out of the glass and onto her body.

Everyone’s attention in the hall was instantly attracted by the wealthy lady’s squeak. Everyone gasped as they watched the scene unfolds.

Han Xuan also saw that Leng Zhiyuan was about to be hit. Her eyes lit up and was overjoyed. She was waiting to see Leng Zhiyuan embarrass himself.

However, at this moment, a strong wind blew past her. Zhou Yao, who was originally standing beside her, had already moved towards Leng Zhiyuan.

“Hubby, don’t go! ” Han Xuan quickly reached out her hands to pull him back.

Zhou Yao was pulled by his sleeve. Just as he was trying to get away, a warm and handsome figure appeared in his line of sight. Ye Ziyi had already rushed over there.

Zhou Yao froze.

His big hands in his trouser pocket clenched into a fist.

Everyone thought that Leng Zhiyuan would be hit. After all, everything happened too suddenly. However, everyone saw that Leng Zhiyuan nimbly sidestepped and reached out her hand to support the stumbling lady at ease.

The red wine in the lady’s glass was swaying. Leng Zhiyuan pushed the lady upward, and she stood up straight. The red wine in the glass also calmed down. Not a single drop spilled out.

This crisis was resolved.

Ye Ziyi, who had rushed over, stopped in his tracks. His eyes were shining as he looked at Leng Zhiyuan’s beautiful back.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief. The lady steadied herself and quickly looked at Leng Zhiyuan, “Miss Manyao, I’m… I’m sorry. I think someone had bumped into me just now… ”
