Chapter 71: The One Who Provokes First Is Cheap

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

There was a teasing look in Xia Wei’s eyes. When it landed on Xin Xin, it was even more provocative. She smiled fearlessly and said bluntly, “You only know how to be afraid now. Then why didn’t you stop Zhou Qi when he provoked me first? Do you know that the one who provokes first is cheap?”

Hearing Xia Wei’s unconvinced words, Xin Xin was finally afraid of this lunatic.

The smile on her face was very forced. She almost couldn’t maintain her delicate image. She said slowly and hesitantly, “Then what do you want? It’s… it’s Zhou Qi who scolded you just now. It’s none of my business, right?”

When Zhou Qi heard this, he looked at Xin Xin in disbelief, as if he had heard wrongly!

At this moment, Xin Xin could no longer care about cherishing her fake “image”. She only wanted to leave this banquet safely because she realized that Bai Ye and some of the very respected seniors at the dining table were already looking at her with displeasure.

Looking at Xin Xin in amusement, Xia Wei was about to say something when Bai Ye grabbed her wrist.

She instinctively turned to look at Ms. Bai. After meeting Bai Ye’s complicated and obscure gaze, she suddenly felt that there was no point in arguing with Xin Xin. After thinking of something, she smiled coldly and fell silent.

…..

Bai Ye sighed softly. When she turned to look at Xin Xin, her eyes darkened. Although she was looking at Xin Xin, her words were directed at Li Xian. “I think Xin Xin really drank too much. Li Xian, take her down to sober up! She doesn’t have to come back later. Get someone to send her back.”

As Bai Ye spoke, she seemed to feel a little tired. After pinching her eyebrows, she waved her hand and asked Xin Xin to leave.

Xin Xin looked at Bai Ye angrily but did not dare to say anything. In the end, she did not say anything. She turned around, picked up her luxury handbag, and left with a cold aura.

She knew that Bai Ye was biased towards Xia Wei, but she did not expect it to be so exaggerated. This was already a slap to her face in front of so many people!

Xin Xin could not figure out why Bai Ye had always been so biased even though they were both Bai Ye’s students. It was like this in school in the past. Now that they already had their own careers, it was still the same.

Of course, she did not understand, because she only felt that the entire world should dote on her and treat her well without holding back. Little did she know that such arrogance and naivety were very laughable, especially in the eyes of some people who knew her bad habits.

Jian Tan, Ma Lei, and the others did not seem to have any special reaction to Xin Xin’s departure at the dining table. Those in the industry who could mingle with Bai Ye at the dining table were naturally sly old foxes.

Everyone understood that this was Bai Ye’s private matter, so they did not intend to know the whole story. They just let it go with a few words. The banquet quickly regained its liveliness and “harmony”!

However, even if the water in the pool was calm on the surface, it was already surging below.

After three rounds of drinking, it was already 10 pm. Xia Wei was not familiar with the people present. She specially came to celebrate Ms. Bai’s birthday for the original Host and could not leave too early, so she could only sit alone at the side and drink and eat. Bai Ye was the birthday girl today, so she naturally could not care about her!

Xia Wei used to have a good tolerance for alcohol. Now that she was in such a good mood, she naturally drank to her heart’s content. Hence, when Jian Tan finished his work and rushed back to the banquet, he realized that a certain someone was almost ‘slightly drunk’.

Seeing that the person he had been thinking about was still sitting quietly on the chair without moving, Jian Tan suppressed the impetuousness in his heart.

He sat beside Xia Wei and raised his hand to stop her wrist from raising the glass. He said gently, “Will Wang Ming come to pick you up later? When will he arrive? Why don’t you drink less? There are many people here today. Don’t cause any trouble!”

Looking at the slender fingers gently pressing on her wrist, Xia Wei instinctively looked up at the person. The corners of her eyes, which were slightly red from the alcohol, were slightly raised. She was shockingly beautiful. Jian Tan’s heart skipped a beat, and his actions paused. Then, he slowly retracted his hand..
