Chapter 1272 - Backing Her Up (1/2)

Everyone’s eyes fell on Cen Xi.

Linda heard Cen Xi’s words and a mocking smile appeared on her lips. “Cen Xi, are you saying that someone pushed you on purpose?”

Linda gave Cen Xi a warning look secretly.

Seeming not to have seen it, Cen Xi wrapped the suit jacket tightly around her with one hand, and the other brushed away the hair that was over her cheek, revealing a pale yet beautiful face.

Cen Xi’s temperament was cold and unlike many girls, she was aloof most of the time. She raised her eyebrows slightly. “If I call the police now, this should be a case of intentional murder! If it wasn’t for Young Master Qiao, I might have died in the pool!”

Linda smiled. “Cen Xi, you’d better watch your words. Who would try to murder you for no reason?”

“You don’t have to be afraid of them, just say what you want to say,” Qiao Yanze stood on one side and said in a deep and indifferent voice.

Cen Xi glanced at Qiao Yanze.

He was soaked wet and the fabric of his clothes clung closely to his tall and muscular body, outlining his well-defined chest muscles and the shape of his shoulders. Under his narrow waist, his legs were long and straight.

Although he was all wet, he did not look to be in a terrible state at all.

He was like a G.o.d, standing there, his aura cold and natural, as if it was born with it. Under his short hair, a layer of frost covered his handsome facial features and that pair of slender eyes were sharp and indifferent.

Cen Xi did not know how to describe the feeling in her heart. Young Master Qiao saved her and even stood up for her. It was really… too unbelievable!

Linda and the other women looked at Qiao Yanze, who was cold and high up in the air, making people dare not easily provoke him. One of the socialites said, “Young Master Qiao, we really did not push her. She accidentally sprained her ankle and fell down. Don’t be deceived by her acting pure.”

“That’s right, Young Master Qiao, you were disadvantaged once before and should understand best that those who look weak on the surface are actually scheming.”

They were indirectly reminding how Qiao Yanze was hurt terribly by Xiao Ying.

Although Qiao Yanze had restored the Qiao family’s status, his niece had become the queen and his sister was the wife of the richest man in the world. How his family was destroyed by a woman had become the talk of many people after a meal.

But no one dared to say anything in front of him.

The socialite who had spoken did not ridicule or look down upon Qiao Yanze, she just did not want to see him standing up for an unworthy woman. Of course, more importantly, she did not want Qiao Yanze to be involved in this matter. After all, Qiao Yanze was not someone they could afford to offend.

Cen Xi glanced at Qiao Yanze and seeing his dark expression and sharp gaze, her heart was thumping slightly. “Do I look weak on the surface? If I want to seek sympathy and act pitiful, would I still be a maid the whole day today?”

There were still some ways if she did not want to come here. She could use Qiao Yanze’s kiss the other time to ask him for help, or find the King or Queen. But they were busy everyday and she did not want to trouble them for this little kind of thing.

“Oh, do you feel aggrieved to be a maid?” Linda smirked. “Why don’t you think of where this is, not everyone can be a maid of the Zhou family. You should thank Miss Zhou and not cause trouble at her birthday party!”

“Sister Linda, I call you ‘sister’ because I respect you as an elder. But I didn’t expect you to be such a scheming and vile person.” Cen Xi stepped forward and stood in front of Linda.

Looking at Cen Xi’s cold and clear eyes that were like black gems, Linda was shocked by her aura for a few seconds. But it was this few seconds that Cen Xi took Linda’s right hand. “When I was pushed, I wanted to grab that person’s hand to stop myself from falling in, and scratched the back of her hand. Sister Linda, you said that I was not pushed, then how did you get the wound on the back of your hand?”
