Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 517 - 498: Don’t Treat Her Like a Sick Cat

Chu Tingting heard Lin Banxia insulting her family as pitiful and couldn’t suppress her anger. When she saw Lin Banxia turn around, she intentionally lifted her foot and stepped on the hem of her dragging gown with her high heel.

"Ah..." Lin Banxia hadn’t expected this woman to be so sinister and malicious, pulling off such a ridiculous stunt.

Luckily, she nearly fell but was caught in time by a man standing nearby. Lin Banxia turned around, facing Chu Tingting’s triumphant expression.

She was utterly furious and immediately grabbed a glass of wine from a nearby waiter, splashing it directly onto Chu Tingting’s face.

Chu Tingting froze in shock!

From childhood until now, no one had ever dared to disrespect her like this.

Chu Tingting raised her hand in retaliation, attempting to slap her, but Lin Banxia reacted swiftly, grabbing her wrist mid-swing. "Chu Tingting, think carefully. Are you really going to keep fighting me like this?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Chu Tingting’s face turned green and then pale upon hearing her threat.

"Don’t think just because you’re my cousin that I’ll keep tolerating you. If you dare touch me again, try it and see what happens." Lin Banxia was truly enraged. If it weren’t for the gentleman who had caught her just now, the ramifications of her fall could’ve been severe—she might have endangered her child. This completely infuriated her.

Chu Tingting saw the ruthless determination in Lin Banxia’s demeanor and instantly felt a bit cowardly, withdrawing her hand.

"Lin Banxia, do you think I’m scared? I’ll fight you to the end!" Chu Tingting, unwilling to back down, stiffened her neck and retorted.

"Then bring it on! Let’s see who ends up humiliated." Lin Banxia said coldly, her gaze icy as she retaliated with an even more unyielding expression.

Chu Tingting suddenly felt a strange chill inside. She saw the most vicious glare from a woman she had ever encountered.

Lin Banxia had indeed changed. From the moment she was confirmed as the Huo Family’s young mistress, her aura shifted completely.

"Tingting, what’s going on?" Chu Younan and Yan Ting quickly approached.

Seeing his daughter’s makeup ruined, Chu Younan immediately glared at Lin Banxia with icy contempt.

Lin Banxia swiftly walked over to Yan Ting’s side.

"Banxia, are you alright?" Yan Ting asked in a low, concerned voice.

Chu Tingting pointed a finger at Lin Banxia and declared, "She just splashed wine on my face! Daddy, she went too far."

Yan Ting was momentarily stunned, not expecting Lin Banxia to be so bold.

Lin Banxia calmly replied, "Who told you to purposely step on my dress? I nearly fell!"

"I didn’t do it on purpose..."

Lin Banxia glanced at the surveillance camera nearby. "Whether it was intentional or not, we can check the footage to verify."

Yan Ting’s face darkened in an instant upon hearing Lin Banxia had almost taken a fall.

Chu Younan knew his daughter well. He believed she might have deliberately stepped on Lin Banxia’s gown.

Moreover, he noticed the sharp change in Yan Ting’s expression and immediately tried to smooth things over with a smile. "Nephew Yan Ting, my sincerest apologies. My daughter is spoiled because of me and might have really been in the wrong here."

"Daddy..." Chu Tingting stomped her foot in frustration.

Chu Younan glared at her sternly. "Enough, come with me to greet Old Sir Huo."

"I’ll fix my makeup first, then head over!" Chu Tingting, knowing full well her current state was unsightly, quickly lowered her head and rushed away.

Yan Ting reached out to hold Lin Banxia’s hand. "Are you really alright?"

Lin Banxia shook her head. "It only startled me. Someone managed to catch me in time. I’m fine!"
