The manager had never seen such an outrageous mother who displayed such blatant favoritism.

Even if the evidence was conclusive, she at least had to try to defend her daughter, but this mother actually tried to pin the blame on her other daughter!

How unbelievable!

“Impossible!” Liang Xiuqin didn’t believe that the jade seal wasn’t in Yun Xi’s purse. She rushed forward and grabbed Yun Xi’s handbag, then dumped everything on the table.

Such uncouth behavior attracted a lot of disgusted eye rolls from the socialites in the room.

Her desperately trying to pin the blame on her own daughter was simply too shameless!

Several of the socialites there were also regular customers of Liang Xiuqin’s spa. It was really eye-opening for them to see Liang Xiuqin acting so shameless.

Several of them had the urge to immediately cut all ties with her, so they wouldn’t seem as cla.s.sless and uncivilized as her by a.s.sociation.

There was a bundle of scalpels hidden in Yun Xi’s bag. Liang Xiuqin thought it was something suspicious and opened it, but then the expression on her face suddenly changed.

“What is this? Why do you want to bring in so many knives?”

Yun Xi frowned when she saw Liang Xiuqin treat the bundle of scalpels so roughly, and, suppressing her anger, she stepped forward and s.n.a.t.c.hed them back.

With her eyes downcast, she tied the scalpels back together with a grave expression on her face.

She gazed at her mother’s unsightly face indifferently.

“I am a medical student, and I brought the scalpels with me for emergency first aid just in case.”

“Are you using studying medicine as an excuse? There are so many guests here tonight, so what if you hurt someone?”

After being scorned just now, Liang Xiuqin resented the manager, so she didn’t forget to throw him under the bus as well.

“You, too, manager, how could the security at the door allow her to bring a knife in! Can you be held responsible if something goes wrong?”

Yun Xi couldn’t help but laugh at her mother’s self-righteous rebuke.

“The guests coming tonight are famous and important people, and there are so many security personnel here. So, Mom, what do you think I want to do? Which one of them present is someone that the Yun family can afford to provoke?”

“You…” Liang Xiuqin’s face immediately darkened after Yun Xi talked back to her so directly.
