355 Impromptu Play (2/2)

Iris left Meimei to Chen Fei and went to Long Jinjing's side instead. ”What are you saying, Big Sister Jinjing? It's not your fault. It was an accident.” Then she turned to Wu Qianxi. ”Miss Wu, do you blame my sister?”

The murmurings of the crowd grew louder, making Wu Qianxi even more self-conscious. Of course Wu Qianxi blamed Long Jinjing and everyone in Iris' group. She knew that they were doing all of these on purpose to humiliate her, but she couldn't just publicly blame them without ruining her own image to the people.

”You misunderstand, Miss Long Xiulan. Of course I don't blame Miss Long Jinjing,” Wu Qianxi quickly said. She turned to Long Hui again and pleaded with him. ”Hui, please believe me. All of this is just a big misunderstanding.”

Long Hui had no idea that Iris and the others were just acting out an impromptu play to torment Wu Qianxi and cast her in a bad light to the people attending the party. At first, he sided with his sisters, especially after Wu Qianxi pushed Meimei to the floor. However, he was starting to feel sorry for Wu Qianxi. She had already apologized many times, yet his sisters seemed to continue pushing the blame on her.

”Let's not turn this into something bigger. It was just an accident. Apologies have already been given. How about we act like adults and move on? Alright?” he suggested.

”Thank you, Hui. Yes, I agree. Let's be adults and move on,” Wu Qianxi was the first one to reply. Her smile looked a little smug, thinking that Long Hui was taking her side.

Of course, Jiang Ying Yue also thought the same way. Her eyes darkened with great disappointment. She released her hold on Long Hui's sleeve and stepped away from him.

Iris, Chen Fei and Meimei also felt dismayed inside. They wanted bang his and Wu Qianxi's heads together.

Then Iris saw that Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui were making their way to them. It seemed that the commotion finally reached their ears. She quickly whispered to Long Jinjing, ”Big sister, do us a favour and cry. Go.”

”W-what?” Long Jinjing confused.

Iris felt annoyed at her slow reaction. She whispered to Chen Fei instead. ”Our father is coming. Make my sister cry. Hurry.”

Chen Fei immediately understood Iris' purpose. She positioned herself close beside Long Jinjing and covertly pinched her best friend hard on the side of her waist.

”Ah!” Long Jinjing cried out in pain.

Chen Fei held the pinch and even brutally twisted it.

Poor Long Jinjing had no choice but to cry. Huge tears fell down from her pitiful eyes. She threw a heartbroken look at Chen Fei, Iris and Meimei. She bit her lips and whimpered. She looked so much like a crying angel that it pinched the hearts of the people around them. They felt sorry for her.

”Oh no, Big Sister. Please don't cry. I know that Miss Wu was very harsh earlier but she already apologized,” Iris 'consoled' Long Jinjing in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear. ”Yes, she yelled at you for accidentally spilling that wine on her dress and even pushed Meimei hard to the floor for trying to help her, but she already said sorry. Are you worried that she's still angry at you?” Iris turned to Wu Qianxi. ”Miss Wu, I'm begging you. Please don't be mad at my sister anymore.”

”Yes, Miss Wu. Let's be mature here and not hold grudges,” Chen Fei added. ”Look, Jinjing is crying so hard. Don't you feel sorry for her?”

”Miss Wu, let it go. It's just a dress. I know a good dry cleaner. They can take off any stains. It's unbecoming for a lady to hold grudges for such a trivial thing,” a madam from another affluent family spoke out.

After her, others also stared speaking out. They all defended Long Jinjing.

Wu Qianxi felt mortified. She wanted to scratch the faces off of everyone from Iris' group. But the one person among them that she hated the most was Jiang Ying Yue, even though the bodyguard didn't participate in humiliating her. She knew from her intuition that Iris and the others were only tormenting her because of Jiang Ying Yue. After all, it had already been reported that Iris and Jiang Ying Yue were friends.

The useless spoiled brat. The bodyguard who stole her man. The illegitimate daughter of a mistress. The orphaned niece of Long Tengfei's third wife. And the illegitimate daughter's best friend.

Wu Qianxi looked down on everyone in this group. They were all inferior in her eyes. It was infuriating to act courteous to them when they were obviously making trouble for her. If only they weren't surrounded by a lot of important people, she would've already shown these low-class bitches not to mess with her.

”What's going on here?” Long Tengfei's deep voice asked. When he saw his first daughter in tears, his eyes turned cold.
