Chapter 380 - 373: Yiran Shines, Part 2
"Xiao Hui, what did you say?" Old Qi stopped dialing the phone as he listened to his daughter’s words, looking at Qi Hui in disbelief, "Did you say it was her who harmed you?"
Qi Hui nodded, gazing at Bai Yiran with determination, "I was entertaining guests at the venue when a waiter came over and said Mrs. Leng was looking for me, so I followed him. Then, I was knocked out, and the next thing I knew, I ended up like this!"
Old Qi had always trusted his daughter, believing that Qi Hui would never lie to him. Hearing Qi Hui’s words, he looked at Leng Liewei with piercing eyes, "Old Leng! That’s your daughter-in-law. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation for this!"
Leng Liewei’s face was blackened with anger, glaring at Bai Yiran as if he wished he could tear her apart. The cocktail party had come to a standstill. It was supposed to be a party welcoming Leng Liewei’s return to the country, but it had turned into a farce!
"Bai Yiran, what on earth happened?"
Leng Liewei’s tone was unfriendly, even carrying a heavy malicious intent.
Leng Yichen blocked in front of Bai Yiran, his sharp eyes scanning everyone. Behind him, a gentle pair of little hands pushed him aside. With an air of calm, she walked out, her hips swaying, exuding an ethereal aura. Leng Yichen coughed lightly, this little lady was getting more charming; how would he handle her if this continued?
Bai Yiran looked at Leng Yichen, giving him a reassuring glance. Leng Yichen immediately understood, standing aside with a smile, saying nothing.
Since his young wife was well-prepared, there was no need for him to say anything more.
Bai Yiran gracefully approached Qi Hui, her eyes shifting between her and Luna, finally landing on Old Qi’s face, "Uncle Qi, isn’t it too rash to conclude it was me based solely on Qi Hui’s words?"
Luna was startled, the bad feeling in her heart growing stronger. No matter what, the situation couldn’t continue like this, "Oh come on, what’s there to explain? As I see it, it’s just Qi Hui and Yu Bin taking a liking to each other, isn’t that right, Qi Hui!"
Luna stared unblinkingly at Qi Hui, with a look that contained a message only they could understand. Qi Hui was taken aback, her expression slightly softened, her lips trembling, but she was unwilling to continue with Luna’s words.
"What do you mean taking a liking!" This time it was Yu Bin’s turn to speak, "I don’t even know this shameless woman! She came to my bed herself and now she wants to accuse me of rape!"
"Who do you think you are, that I would deliberately go to your bed?" Qi Hui couldn’t stand Yu Bin’s humiliation and eventually couldn’t hold it in any longer.
Qi Hui, who always appeared as a strong woman in front of everyone, had now clearly turned into a disgraced shrew.
Realizing her loss of composure, Qi Hui looked at Leng Yichen with misty eyes, seemingly seeking a touch of care and warmth from him, "Yichen, I was really framed! Bai Yiran framed me, I didn’t do it on purpose. I don’t know anything, I’m innocent..."
"Oh really?" Leng Yichen asked lightly, "But what does that have to do with me?"
Qi Hui was startled, "I... but, Bai Yiran she..."
"Qi Hui, you’d better be careful with your words. You’re accusing my wife now."
Leng Yichen exuded a chilling aura, clearly siding with Bai Yiran, leaving Qi Hui feeling as though she had fallen into an icy cavern, freezing her inside and out.
Bai Yiran looked at Qi Hui calmly and said, "Miss Qi, don’t be in such a hurry to play the victim. You should at least hear my explanation first."
Saying this, Li Sha pulled someone out from a nearby lounge room, and that person was none other than the waiter who had previously brought drinks to Bai Yiran and the others.
