Chapter 193: Chapter 193: To Scold or Not to Scold? Scold! Feels Good!

Chapter 193 -193: To Scold or Not to Scold? Scold! Feels Good!

Ji Muye did not agree with his friend’s idea, but he did not speak further.

Some hardships must be endured personally; without them, one does not learn.

While he was resting here, Shen Moli was contacting Wang Chunmei. She had already arranged for someone to bring her to Jingzhou in advance. Now, the woman was downstairs in the banquet hotel. Regardless of whether she encountered Lu Xining, as long as she created a scene crying and causing trouble at the hotel entrance, the incident would certainly become the talk of the circle.

What she wanted was the complete ruin of Lu Xining’s reputation.

When Lu Xining and Ming Yuan came out of the private room, they immediately sensed malicious intent and turned to meet Shen Moli’s smiling eyes.

The other party took the initiative to come forward and greet them, “Miss Lu.”

“Does Secretary Shen need something?”

Lu Xining spoke indifferently, with no intention of continuing the conversation. However, Shen Moli felt this was a slight and became even angrier.

At that moment in the banquet, Qin Xueyuan, who was talking with other artists, saw Ming Yuan beside Lu Xining. Being close to Su Ting, she naturally knew about the couple’s registration of their marriage.

Qin Xueyuan feigned closeness and said, “Ming, why didn’t you say a word before coming back? Ting had a charter flight for me; had I known you were also returning yesterday, I would have given you a ride.”

Ming Yuan glanced at her coldly, “The cat weeps for the mouse, feigning grief.”

The marriage between the Ming Family’s daughter and the Su family’s eldest son was no secret in their circle.

Being from the same circle, who didn’t know these things?

The movie director present at the event, seeing Ming Yuan slightly avert her face guiltily upon mentioning her relationship with Su Ting, turned somewhat pale.

Su Ting, who had come out looking for Ming Yuan, also noticed the commotion here.

The moment Lu Xining saw Su Ting and Ji Muye coming out of the elevator, she had already prepared herself.

She stood by Ming Yuan’s side, silently supporting her.

“Ms. Qin, you should be more careful in the future. As long as I wish, I can claim back every penny Su Ting spends on you, by right of marriage.”

“Of course, if you really have the ability, convince Su Ting to divorce me. If not, stop flaunting needlessly. After all, using the identity of a deceased sister to seduce your so-called brother-in-law is quite disgusting.”

Hearing Ming Yuan’s words, Su Ting’s face suddenly turned cold, and he swiftly walked up to Qin Xueyuan’s side.

He was about to reprimand her when he heard Lu Xining speak, “Mr. Su, you’re over thirty. If you still can’t discern what’s more important, I wouldn’t mind having someone teach you.”

Unknowingly, quite a few people had gathered around Lu Xining and Ming Yuan, all beneficiaries of the ZN Labs’ kindness.

Su Ting, being a qualified businessman, naturally knew what to do in public and did not continue to speak up for Qin Xueyuan.

Ji Muye, who had followed them out, subconsciously moved to Lu Xining’s side.

Seeing her fully in her element defending her friend, a shallow smile flickered in his eyes.

In his view, Lu Xining was very charming at this moment.

Su Ting stared at the calmly smiling Ming Yuan beside Lu Xining, a completely different girl from the one he remembered. Unbeknownst to him, she seemed to have transformed into someone wholly unknown.

Ming Yuan, of course, knew what he was looking at.

However, the feeling of being protected by her best friend was too delightful, and she couldn’t spare him a single glance.

“Ting, look at her!”

Seeing Ming Yuan’s attitude, Su Ting’s expression conveyed his impatience, “Speak less.”

He had already felt somewhat guilty for stealing Ming Yuan’s role in a movie for several months, but thinking that the young girl’s affection for him meant that their marriage certificate could make up for his guilt. However, now it seemed not to be the case.

He felt as though something that belonged to him was slipping from his control.

Su Ting took a couple of steps closer and spoke in a lowered voice, “Xiao Yuan, I can explain the charter flight. I didn’t know you would return yesterday. If I had, I would have definitely brought you back with me.”

Ming Yuan scoffed.

The day to register the marriage at the Civil Affairs Bureau had been set long ago, and he didn’t know she would come back?

She didn’t want to talk to Su Ting and turned her head to her sisters, “Let’s go, this is really unlucky.”

Lu Xining stepped forward, blocking her figure, and grabbed her hand to walk away when Shen Moli’s exclamation was heard, “Ms. Qin, are you alright?”

Qin Xueyuan lay in her arms with a pale face, looking pitifully at Su Ting, “I’m sorry, Ting, it’s all my fault. I’ve caused you trouble.”

Su Ting, looking at her face, so similar to Qin Xuexin, tightened inside.

He quickly squatted down to take Qin Xueyuan from Shen Moli’s arms, expressing concern, “Xiao Yuan! Are you alright?”

Ming Yuan leaned close to Lu Xining’s ear and whispered mockingly, “If she used that acting in her past roles, she wouldn’t still be without a signature piece.”

Lu Xining squeezed her hand.

Even though Ming Yuan felt no sorrow before her now, and even though she said she had let go of Su Ting, her newly wedded husband was protecting another woman in front of everyone, which undoubtedly upset her.

“I’m fine.” Feeling the care emanating from her, Ming Yuan smiled.

As an observer, Ji Muye frowned upon his friend’s actions, and his superior’s mindset allowed him to clearly recognize how inappropriate Su Ting’s current behavior was.

Setting aside the fact that Ming Yuan was his newly certified wife, her status as the heiress of the Ming Family alone should not allow others to slight her so casually.

Moreover, the collaboration between the two families had just begun.

Ji Muye: “Su Ting.”

Hearing his friend’s voice, Su Ting looked up to see him, but Ji Muye said nothing more.

He sensed something, his gaze shifting to Ming Yuan who watched the drama emotionlessly, and his heart skipped a beat.

Su Ting: “Xiao Yuan…”

The director and others seeking to cling to the Su family crowded around, showing concern for Qin Xueyuan.

Lu Xining and Ming Yuan exchanged glances, taking note of these people.

Hearing him call her, Ming Yuan stood straight, looking down slightly.

She smiled and spoke in a calm tone, “Mr. Su, you should take Ms. Qin to the hospital first — it’s best to check out physical ailments early.”

“This act of fainting upon not being attended to is something I’ve only seen in scripts; it’s truly my first time encountering it in real life, which is why Ms. Qin fits the movie role so well.”

Su Ting, feeling snubbed, grew colder and threatened, “Ming Yuan, do you no longer wish to continue in the entertainment industry? Apologize to Xiao Yuan now, and I can let bygones be bygones.”

Lu Xining and Ji Muye both frowned, speechless at Su Ting’s fueling words.

The Su family was, after all, an entertainment group, and Ming Yuan was striving in the domestic film industry.

His words undoubtedly signaled the precursor to blacklisting her.

Lu Xining felt a tightening grip in her palm and turned to see Ming Yuan’s hesitant look.

She quietly asked, “A Yuan, would you mind developing your career in the international film circle?”

Ming Yuan thought of the previous birthday of Ji Chao and Ji Ze.

Yina was an internationally renowned screenwriter, and her close friend was a globally celebrated director with a box office of over ten billion.

And they had a great relationship with Lu Xining.

She curled her lips, “Naturally… it’s more than desirable.”

Noticing the sympathetic and mocking looks from around her, Lu Xining’s frosty expression deepened, such looks often accompanying her during the five years of her secret marriage with Ji Muye.

No one understood the damage those looks could inflict better than she did.

Now that she had the capacity, she wanted to provide an umbrella for those close to her, hoping they wouldn’t have to endure the bitterness she once faced.

Lu Xining smirked, “Su Ting, you will definitely regret this.”

She looked at Qin Xueyuan with a mix of mockery and disdain, “To charter a flight is but a basic move in the circle of the wealthy; is it really that impressive with Ms. Qin?”

“Or is it that… stolen things are always a matter of pride in your circle of mistresses?”

Su Ting let go of Qin Xueyuan and rose to his feet, his eyes narrowing as he warned, “Miss Lu, this is our family business. It’s not good for an outsider to interfere so much, is it?”

The atmosphere around started to tense.

Recently, it seemed every banquet they attended was marred with some scandal.

Lu Xining cornered her lips, standing up for Ming Yuan, “Mr. Su has the cheek to let his mistress mistreat his wife, so why can’t an outsider like me interfere?”

“I haven’t replaced my wife’s position in a play with bribes for another woman, nor have I protected another woman in front of others, nor have I threatened my wife to vent on another woman.”

“Moreover, Ming Yuan is the godmother of my child; we are family, how can that be considered outside interference?”

“Strictly speaking, until yesterday, it was Mr. Su who was the outsider.”

Ming Yuan absolutely adored Lu Xining’s sharp tongue!

She was just frustrated by her own lack of eloquence, unable to thoroughly rebuke others, but Lu Xining’s words were utterly refreshing.

To avoid letting her dear friend feel undercut, Ming Yuan announced something significant on the spot.

Except for Lu Xining, everyone remained calm.

All eyes in the room turned towards her in shock, exclaiming, “Has she gone mad?!”
