Lin Xuan rushed over and held Leng Minhang’s hand, saying, “Big cousin, just now Sister Yaya kindly handed Miss Luo the tea, but she actually dropped it on the ground. It’s simply too much!”
Bai Yaya said with red eyes. “Minhang, it’s also my fault. It’s probably because of what I said earlier about our previous relationship that made her angry. It’s not Miss Luo’s fault. It’s all my fault.”
Leng Minhang furrowed his brows slightly and looked at Luo Xi, who was standing in the middle.
Luo Xi also stared at him, her eyes mixed with a hint of hope. She didn’t care if no one else believed in her. She just wanted his trust.
“Miss Luo, I hope you sincerely apologize to Yaya. Today, she is a guest of our Leng family, and she shouldn’t be treated like this.” Lin Xuan said forcefully.
“Xuanxuan, don’t do this. I’m fine.” Bai Yaya hurriedly went forward and held her back, but her gaze was directed towards Leng Minhang.
Leng Minhang glanced at Bai Yaya and said indifferently, “You knew that your words upset her, so why did you go and hand her the tea?”
Bai Yaya froze for a moment.
Lin Xuan angrily said, “Cousin, are you blaming Yaya for this? Clearly, it’s Luo Xi’s fault. Even if Yaya mentioned your past relationship, so what? She was going to find out sooner or later. Moreover, with so many people present, even if she was angry, she shouldn’t behave like this. She has no manners at all. How can someone like her become the wife of the Leng family?”
“What did you say!” Leng Minhang narrowed his eyes and looked at her coldly.
The people around were startled by his sudden outburst.
Lin Xuan realized that she had been too extreme in her words and took a few steps back in fear. A hint of unease flashed across her face.
“That’s enough!” Luo Xi spoke up in the silence.
“I just said there’s nothing much to explain earlier. It doesn’t mean I admit it’s my fault!” She walked up to the group and said with a cold expression.
“So what do you mean? If it’s not your fault, then whose fault is it? Everyone saw it!” Lin Xuan said angrily.
“Saw it?” Luo Xi chuckled softly. “Are you sure you all saw it?” Her gaze swept over the crowd. “Did you see me deliberately drop the teacup on the ground, or did you see me knock the teacup out of her hand? Or perhaps, did you see her let go of it herself?” Her last sentence was directed at Bai Yaya.
Bai Yaya’s face slightly changed, and then she looked at Luo Xi in disbelief. “Luo Xi, how can you say such things? It was clearly you…” She dramatically took a few steps back, as if greatly frightened.
“Are you sure it was me?” Luo Xi sneered and extended her right hand. The fair skin on her hand was now shocking to look at, red and swollen.
The man beside her saw this scene, and his eyes instantly changed. He grabbed her hand and asked in a deep voice, “What happened?”
The people around were stunned by this scene.
Even Bai Yaya was dumbfounded.
How… how could this be…
Seeing his reaction, Luo Xi felt an indescribable sense of grievance welling up inside her. She sniffled and said, “I don’t know either. When I reached out to take the tea, Miss Bai suddenly let go of it. I thought she couldn’t hold it, but who would have thought she would accuse me of dropping the tea on the ground. But the teacup didn’t even touch me, and I was scalded by the tea. I didn’t say anything, but they started blaming me. I really don’t understand why this is happening!”
