Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Who Started the Rumor 4
"The top floor restaurant had been completely cleared out, but the waiters and the restaurant’s surveillance can prove that we’ve been here the whole time!"
A sweet and soft voice reached the ears of everyone present.
Everyone fell silent.
The maître d’ timely stepped forward, speaking at an even pace, "Young Master Ji cleared out the top floor restaurant for Miss Ning, personally selected gifts for her, hired a pianist and a violinist, and as for the grand fireworks by the river, those were also prepared for Miss Ning."
Cleared out? Gifts? Fireworks?
This must all add up to an astronomical sum!
In an instant, the way everyone looked at Ning Xixi changed from anger to full-blown envy.
Who wouldn’t want such a grand marriage proposal! But they were not Ning Xixi, nor did they have a boyfriend like Ji Yebai!
"Then the incident at the mall banquet..." Someone brought up this topic, and suddenly, a girl in the crowd exclaimed, "I have an aunt who also attended the banquet, and she just sent me a message saying that Young Master Ji didn’t show up at the event tonight at all! The one who attended the banquet was Young Master Mo Ji Yemo!"
With this statement, everyone felt ashamed.
An awkward atmosphere spread.
Ji Yebai, with his arms crossed, swept his long, narrow eyes around, looking disdainfully at these self-proclaimed clever women.
"Rumors and gossip can kill! The people who spread rumors are despicable; those who blindly believe and spread false information are even more so! The culprits know who they are! Better come forward and admit it to young master Ji, otherwise, I will show no mercy and no leniency!"
In the crowd, Dong Yingluo shrank back, her head hanging low.
Wearing a mask, no one could recognize her. Originally, she planned to hurt Ning Xixi through spreading rumors, but to her surprise, not only did it backfire, she learned that Ji Yebai had actually proposed to Ning Xixi!
Clutching her fists in anger, she quietly left the scene.
-
"Ning Xixi, did you say yes to Young Master Ji’s proposal?"
Upon hearing someone ask this, Ning Xixi cocked her head, sighing, "I don’t want to say yes..." Seeing Ji Yebai’s face darken a few shades, she suddenly chuckled, "But I have to~ After all, he’s the one I fancy~"
"Wow—"
Most people had been misled, but their hearts were still kind, and they began to apologize and offer congratulations—
"We’re sorry, we were thoughtless and misunderstood you."
"Ning Xixi, we wish you and Young Master Ji happiness!"
"Hey, should we make a clarification post on the forums?" Someone suggested, immediately gaining a flood of agreement.
Everyone sprang into action, posting on the forums.
The girl who was the loudest before, her face flushed, walked up to Ning Xixi, "I’m sorry... This is for you, wish you happiness."
She stuffed something into Ning Xixi’s hand and turned to run.
Ning Xixi opened her palm to find a fruit candy inside.
With a faint smile, she, too, let it go.
"Ji Yebai, let’s go home," she tugged at Ji Yebai’s sleeve.
The word "let’s" softened Ji Yebai’s cold gaze somewhat. He hummed softly and took Ning Xixi’s hand, as if he never intended to let go.
...
Ning Family.
Coming back so late, it was inevitable to be lectured by Lu Qinghe. Ning Xixi listened with one ear and let it out the other. At the front door, a heart-wrenching crying sound came, and a plump figure rushed in, "Sister Xixi! Wuuwuuwuu..."
