YM778.TV Chapter 99 Precious Benefactor
"Is she tired of living? That\'s Nian Zhen! The daughter of the Nian family! And that girl she pushed was CEO Lu\'s companion..."
"Wait, I know that socialite. Her family was one of those who just recently became wealthy last year. Tsk, as expected, a bumpkin learning how the residents of Handan walked [1] would only stumble and embarrass herself. Look at her now, she\'s being scolded by the birthday boy himself. She lost the face of her whole family."
Dandan\'s face paled as she listened to the conversation going around her. She casted a beseeching look at Nian Zhen.
"Sister Nian..."
But Nian Zhen immediately saw that the situation had turned dire, and so didn\'t hesitate to sever their so-called \'friendship\' since Dandan was no longer useful. Her principle in life had always been to cut off your losses as soon as possible.
"You! How dare you push Yinyin!" she shouted.
"But you said..." Dandan\'s forehead puckered, her face turning ashen. "Sister Nian, you were the one who told me..."
Nian Zhen didn\'t let her finish.
"Why are you calling me so familiarly? Do we know each other? You should apologize to Yinyin first!"
At this point, how could Dandan still misinterpret the actions of her \'friend\'? She knew she was being abandoned.
Ignoring the grape juice dripping on her face and her now ruined white dress, Nian Zhen feigned an expression of concern as she turned towards Hui Yin.
"Yinyin, don\'t worry about it. You couldn\'t help but hold onto me to keep your balance since that clumsy girl pushed you. I have so many dresses like this, it\'s not a problem at all."
Then why do you make it sound as if it\'s still my fault? Hui Yin rolled her eyes. And mentioning her \'many\' dresses, that was completely unnecessary. Of course, harrumphed Hui Yin in her mind, it was understandable since a snake needs to change its skin a lot of times.
"Miss Nian, didn\'t you ask me to come over here? Is there something you need to talk about with me?"
Hui Yin\'s comment made a visible vein throb on Nian Zhen\'s temple. It casually pointed out that if anyone was to blame for that \'accident\', it was Nian Zhen. Who told her to call Hui Yin over to the buffet table? If anything, it was Nian Zhen who dragged her into this trouble in the first place.
"You!" Wang Yong was still jerking Dandan. "Quickly apologize to the two of them!"
Hui Yin didn\'t feel any sympathy for Dandan, since anybody could predict that if one often walks by the riverside, then one\'s shoes would eventually get wet.
She had been fooled by Nian Zhen in her past life, but this girl had known that Nian Zhen was planning to humiliate her, yet she still carried along with her plan. Dandan could only blame herself for falling into this kind of situation.
Dandan stiffened, her bottom lip trembling as she tried not to cry. "S—Sorry...I\'m sorry..."
"Can your apology fix what you did to my fiancée?"
A bone-chilling voice, filled with an underlying threat, made everyone inside the room break into cold sweat. His voice wasn\'t loud, but it vibrated with power and command that when he spoke, every head in the room turned.
Lu Shen\'s tall figure emerged from the crowd, his regal and imposing aura immediately fading those who were around him into obscurity. His black suit drew the attention of some of his admirers, and they quickly realized that it complimented Hui Yin\'s black dress.
Once again, the two of them had been misunderstood as wearing matching couple outfits.
Fiancée...so she was his fiancée...
Even the infuriated Wang Yong couldn\'t help but think, Dandan, RIP...
Hui Yin\'s mouth twitched. He had almost copied word for word what she said to him before in his office. Although she held no sympathy for Dandan, this girl was just Nian Zhen\'s lackey.
Hui Yin knew how ruthless Lu Shen was, and it seemed overkill for him to punish Dandan for a push that didn\'t even harm anyone.
Of course, Hui Yin thought that Lu Shen was just like Wang Yong, getting angry for Nian Zhen\'s sake. He was probably just using her as an excuse.
"Lu Shen, I\'m fine. She already apologized."
Hui Yin linked her arm with Nian Zhen as she spoke, bringing them forward to an area where there was a copious amount of light. It further highlighted their contrasting appearances, as one girl looked as cool as cucumber in her black dress, while the other looked like a drowned cat doused in purple.
"Wang Yong, give your jacket to Miss Nian. She must be feeling cold."
Hui Yin\'s words wrested the focus away from Lu Shen and back towards Nian Zhen, making the crowd realize again how dreadful she looked.
Wang Yong flashed a grateful smile at Hui Yin, as he dashed like a shining knight to save his damsel in distress.
His impression of Hui Yin rose up once more, and Wang Yong decided that, after he and Nian Zhen got married, their first child would be named after her, his precious benefactor.
