Chapter 43: The Illegitimate Daughter
Ye Anning recognized the two women in front of her, one was Chu Xiang and the other was Lin Yiai, both were good friends of Ye Mingzhu.
Chu Xiang bent down wanting to help her up, but Ye Anning slapped away the hand she stretched out and coldly questioned, "You did it on purpose!"
Her leg hurt badly, and it just so happened to land on the injured leg. She pressed her hand against the bruised area, her angry eyes staring at the two women in front of her who were gloating over her misfortune. Just a moment ago, her skirt had clearly been stepped on.
"What are you talking about?!" Chu Xiang shouted loudly, her voice more aggrieved than his. "It's clear that you accidentally bumped into someone else, and I kindly helped you up. How can you still frame me like this? And what's with the extortion in this banquet?"
Chu Xiang's voice was high and shrill, and with the commotion earlier, more and more onlookers gathered around, everyone was amused by Chu Xiang's words, and when they saw Ye Anning's disheveled and mismatched outfit, they burst out laughing, especially the women who regarded Ye Anning as a imaginary enemy, after all, she had stolen the spotlight from all the men.
Chu Xiang raised her head and gave a signal to Ye Mingzhu, who was looking over from afar. Ye Mingzhu's mouth curved into a pleased smile. The corner of the venue was noisy, and Shen Yicheng naturally noticed it too. Just as he was about to go take a look, Ye Mingzhu grasped his arm with a warm smile and said, "Look over there, Uncle Chen has arrived. He's my dad's closest friend. Let's go say hello."
Shen Yicheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and followed Ye Mingzhu with an uneasy gaze that darted towards the crowd.
"Ah!" Ye Anning glared at Chu Xiang's arrogant expression, feeling an overwhelming urge to teach her a lesson. However, as soon as she moved, her legs throbbed in pain and she fell back down to the ground.
"What's wrong with you? I've never seen a woman as unreasonable as you. We were trying to help you, but you're framing her instead. You deserve to end up like this, you illegitimate child!" Lin Ai looked down on her with disdain, her eyes full of contempt. Her words sparked the surrounding people's gossip, all guessing which family she was an illegitimate child of.
Ye Anning's heart skipped a beat, those three icy words were like a sharp knife stabbing at her heart, it was a wound she couldn't touch. "You dare to say that again!"
Ye Anning's sharp eyes were filled with a dangerous chill, making people involuntarily feel fearful. Lin Yiai had personally experienced Ye Anning's taekwondo skills and immediately retreated two steps back to a safe distance before standing up straight and saying, "Isn't what I said the truth? Your mother wasn't your father's first wife when she gave birth to you, and now you've fallen in love with your own sister's husband. You're truly a chip off the old block! In fact, you intentionally stirred up this commotion just to ruin Mingzhu's engagement party, didn't you, Ye Anning!"
"I'll tear your mouth!" Ye Anning's scarlet eyes were full of indignation, others could say anything to her, but mentioning her mother was absolutely not allowed.
As Ye Anning rushed over, Lin Yiai let out a sharp cry and subconsciously covered her face with both hands. Chu Qing forcefully pushed Ye Anning to the ground from the side, "You this shrew, do you still want to hit people?"
Ye Anning's forehead was already beaded with cold sweat, and she bit her teeth tightly to prevent herself from crying out in pain.
More and more people around them were making a lively noise, all pointing at Ye Anning.
"She was actually the illegitimate daughter of the Ye family, and she even had a crush on her own sister's husband. My god, did she come here today for this newlywed couple? How shameless..."
