Love You for the Rest of My Life

Chapter 1039: A Group of Nice People Fanning the Flames

Di Mingzhe, provoked in such a manner, caused Dan Lingling to become agitated again, her face flushing red as she quickly said to Di Mingzhe, "I met Bo Chengxin a few years ago, and after exchanging a simple greeting and small talk, she called me a crazy woman."

That fully challenged Dan Lingling’s face-saving pride, which soared once again.

"You were the first to insult me," Bo Chengxin eventually regained a bit of reason and said with a trembling voice.

Dan Lingling defiantly raised an eyebrow, "What did I say to insult you? When I spoke to you, you ignored me, so I asked if you had eaten gunpowder, and then you called me a crazy woman."

"But you were the one who hit me first," Bo Chengxin countered, her face already frighteningly pale. Even though she knew she had possibly provoked someone she shouldn’t have, she couldn’t help defending herself.

"Why did you insult me then?" Dan Lingling retorted, "You started by insulting me, so of course I had to hit you."

Although her rationale might not have been sound, Dan Lingling was the President’s daughter and naturally held a more noble status than the average person.

It could be somewhat justified for someone of her status to hit another after being insulted.

The onlookers all understood; it wasn’t clear who was right or wrong, it was just a catfight.

But one was a commoner and the other was the President’s daughter; the outcome seemed obvious at first glance.

How many people here were astute?

Even Shen Yilan, upon hearing their quarrel, spoke up in Dan Lingling’s defense, "Even if Miss Lingling was a bit out of control, it was because this lady provoked first. Moreover, as a man, isn’t it excessive for you to push a woman like that?"

Bo Chengyan was left speechless, never having expected Dan Lingling to be the President’s cherished daughter.

Dan Lingling became even angrier, unable to tolerate this affront. She immediately ordered her guards, "What are you standing around for? Arrest them both for now."

No one dared object, as the status of the President’s daughter was definitely not low; how could she possibly suffer such an indignity for no reason?

"Yes!" responded the two guards forcefully, moving forward to apprehend without further discussion.

Bo Chengyan and Bo Chengxin were petrified. Bo Chengyan urgently said, "Di Mingchen, aren’t you going to do something? You and your elder brother are the hosts today."

Di Mingchen blinked, finding such a spectacle to his liking; why would he interfere?

After all, Bo Chengxin and Bo Chengyan were known to cause trouble.

"This, I really cannot manage," Di Mingchen spread his hands, "Miss Lingling’s guards only take orders from her. Even my brother and I can’t command them. You’d be better off explaining things clearly to Miss Lingling to see if this misunderstanding can be resolved."

Di Mingchen’s words thoroughly boosted Dan Lingling’s face-saving pride, making her all the prouder. Having suffered indignities for so long, she could finally vent her frustrations.

After speaking, Di Mingchen, playing the ’good guy’, stepped forward, granting Dan Lingling even more face.

"Miss Lingling, today’s party is hosted by my youngest brother for his wife. If there’s been any neglect in our hospitality, please forgive us. But if anyone dares to bully you, I’ll be the first to disallow it."

Hearing Di Mingchen say this, Dan Lingling’s temper flared even more, and she fiercely responded, "First arrest them, then we can talk."

At this point, no one dared to say anything, but Bo Chengxin spoke up tremblingly, "Is this how the Di Family treats its guests? Is she a guest, and we are not?"

And then Alvin, with a seemingly cheerful chuckle, joined the fray, "Miss, what you’re saying isn’t quite right. There are distinguished guests and ordinary guests. Miss Dan is naturally of a high status. In our country, if you show disrespect towards members of the royal family, their children, officials, or their children, you could indeed be arrested."
