Chapter 153 - Exposing and Framing (2/2)
Feng Yue lowered her eyes and stuck out her leg in front of the waiter to trip him. The young and tender boy staggered. The soup in the white porcelain bowl shook due to his actions and spilled out in a perfect parabola. The hot soup rushed towards Wu Mei.
Li Nanchen narrowed his eyes and wanted to pull Wu Mei to his side as he shouted, “Be careful!”
However, Wu Mei dodged first. A few drops of soup splashed onto her pure-white dress, making it particularly eye-catching. Fortunately, she was not injured.
The waiter was so flustered that his face turned red. He bowed 90 degrees and apologized, “I’m sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose. I tripped…”
After hearing his explanation, Wu Mei lowered her eyes and looked at Feng Yue’s feet that had not been retracted. While calming the waiter down, she took a jab at Feng Yue as she asked, “Doesn’t the person who truly did something wrong have any intention of apologizing?”
“Feng Yue, you have a grudge against me. Don’t implicate other innocent people.”

“The evidence is conclusive. What else do you have to say to defend yourself? If you made a mistake, admit it. You have to be taught a lesson for lying and framing others!”
A sneer appeared on Wu Mei’s face. She picked up the spicy pickled fish from the round table and poured the entire pot over Feng Yue’s head.
The soup and ingredients dripped down from Feng Yue’s hair. She was so embarrassed that she immediately cried. She stared at Wu Mei with hatred in her eyes before pushing open the door to run out of the banquet hall. The people from the Ministry of Defense who witnessed their argument were all silent. However, Bai Xue said with deep meaning, “You’re so rude and have bad upbringing.. I wonder who…”
