"Help me out? I don't need your assistance at all. Have you even considered your own status? Are you trying to cause a scene at the engagement banquet of Xiyun?" the bride's mother said.
"Good intentions turned into a donkey's liver and lungs. I was going to teach this Miss Zhao a lesson, but now it's unnecessary," Jiang Chen replied, his interest waning.
The middle-aged woman sighed softly and fell silent.
However, Zhao Xinrong frowned, finding Jiang Chen's words quite arrogant. "I see you don't want to teach me a lesson; you're just afraid, aren't you? Don't you like Lin Rumei? I can invite her over right now. If I say you've disrespected her, you'll definitely be in trouble. Of course, I'm a soft-hearted person. If you kneel and beg me now, I might let you off the hook," Zhao Xinrong sneered.
"You don't need to invite her over; she'll come looking for me on her own," Jiang Chen replied with a faint smile.
Zhao Xinrong's smile froze on her face as confusion washed over her. She never imagined that Jiang Chen knew Lin Rumei. After all, one was a socialite from Hong Kong Island, while the other was an ordinary person from Domestic. They had no intersection, and besides, Lin Rumei was proud; many wealthy young men from Hong Kong Island couldn't catch her eye, let alone someone as lowly as Jiang Chen.
As soon as Lin Rumei entered, her gaze began to search the room until she quickly spotted Jiang Chen.
"Mr. Jiang is over there; let's go meet him," Lin Rumei said, leading her father toward Jiang Chen and Ding Yan.
Seeing that Lin Rumei was genuinely approaching them, Zhao Xinrong was taken aback, and even the bride's mother and others were surprised.
When Lin Rumei and her party reached Jiang Chen, their attitude was respectful, as if they were ministers meeting the emperor. This left Zhao Xinrong dumbfounded.
"Miss Lin, do you know him? Who is he?" Zhao Xinrong asked incredulously.
Lin Rumei glanced at Zhao Xinrong, then back at Jiang Chen. Instead of answering Zhao Xinrong, she cautiously asked Jiang Chen, "Are you friends with Miss Zhao?"
"This Miss Zhao disrespected me earlier. I originally wanted you to teach her a lesson, but now it's not worth it," Jiang Chen replied.
Upon hearing this, Lin Rumei's expression turned cold. She looked at Zhao Xinrong and said flatly, "Miss Zhao, you're really lucky today. Mr. Jiang isn't holding it against you. Hurry up and leave; don't obstruct his view any longer."
"Lin Rumei, what do you mean? Even if you know this guy, so what? Are you really going to help him teach me a lesson? Our family’s status is no less than yours; opposing me for the sake of an ordinary person won't benefit you," Zhao Xinrong, initially shocked, became enraged upon seeing how fiercely Lin Rumei defended Jiang Chen.
"Don't be unappreciative," Lin Rumei frowned. Although she had no grievances with Zhao Xinrong, provoking someone like Jiang Chen was akin to courting death. Even if he wasn't angry now, it didn't mean he wouldn't be later.
"Zhao Xinrong, shut your mouth," Lin Rumei said sternly before delivering a slap to Zhao Xinrong. In truth, she was trying to save her; if this continued, it would surely lead to disaster for Zhao Xinrong. After all, Jiang Chen was not someone known for being merciful; he could kill without blinking an eye.
