“How could this happen? I… Cousin… I…”

Wei Shisheng looked toward Mu Chengxi in a panic, instinctively wanting to explain to him.

But facing Mu Chengxi’s unfathomable eyes, filled with a dangerous glint, she found herself unable to say anything.

“Cousin… I…” She looked from Mu Chengxi to Alfredo, who was holding her arm, seeking his help with her eyes.

“Don’t say anything more. Let’s just leave. This is utterly embarrassing!”

Alfredo looked at Wei Shisheng with disdain, feeling that standing here was embarrassing enough, with nothing more to be said.

“Miss Wei, since you’ve already revealed the truth, it’s necessary for us to settle the past grievances. We’ve held back seeking justice because of Grandpa Wei’s reputation, but now that you’re part of the Payton family, it’s tto address the wrongs you’ve done to my niece…”

Ling Yichen slowly stood up from the sofa, his presence menacing, as if he was ready to tear Wei Shisheng apart right there.

As Ling Yichen approached Wei Shisheng, Alfredo stepped in front of her. His deep blue eyes narrowed slightly at Ling Yichen’s peach blossom eyes, surprised by the lack of respect shown by Ling Yichen in the capital.

“Mr. Ling, since you say Wei Shisheng is part of our Payton family, then we’ll take responsibility for her actions today. In the future…”

“Cousin, we can’t accept this. How can I continue living in the capital if we do?” Wei Shisheng couldn’t believe Alfredo would take responsibility for her actions, fearing not only a ruined reputation; it would be impossible for her to continue living in Beijing.

“Shut up. Knowing you’ve done so many disgusting things, even if my uncle had no children and ended up alone, I wouldn’t acknowledge you for his sake!”

Alfredo reprimanded her scathingly. Today was the most embarrassing day of his life.

He had been very happy earlier—at this banquet, he had finally met someone he had been looking for.

Unexpectedly, Wei Shisheng not only turned out to be her opponent but also publicly challenged her and ended up being humiliated without a fight. He deeply despised Shisheng from the bottom of his heart.

The onlookers watched intently, not wanting to miss a moment of the drama.

“Young Master Ling, our Payton family is willing to compensate for the loss to your niece on behalf of Wei Shisheng. Please, on this occasion, show smercy and let her off.”

Alfredo had absolute authority in his own territory, but he willingly lowered his head because of the woman sitting not far away. He was now asking for forgiveness—in a place he cared nothing about—feeling an unprecedented humiliation he had not felt since he was young.

Ling Yichen, seeing Alfredo lower his noble head, displayed a mischievous smile, “Alright, since Mr. Alfredo has spoken, I’ll await your sincere apology to my niece…”

Emphasizing his words, Ling Yichen seized the rare opportunity to put Alfredo in his place, not willing to let it pass.

Wen Xin, leaning lazily against Mu Chengxi, raised an eyebrow at Ling Xu’er as if to say, “I promised to seek justice for you, and I will.”

Ling Xu’er looked back at Wen Xin, her eyes blinking like a little white rabbit’s, and then smiled sweetly.

Wei Shisheng, protected by Alfredo, saw the interaction between Wen Xin and Ling Xu’er and wanted to confront them. Still, her remaining rationality advised against any rash actions, given the already humiliating situation.

“Alright, I’ll definitely give Mr. Ling a satisfactory response,” Alfredo said, suppressing his anger while maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor.

With that, he led Wei Shisheng away from the banquet without hesitation.

Following such a commotion, Ou Zhengfeng’s birthday party couldn’t continue.

However, everyone was not in a hurry to leave; they were very curious about Wen Xin’s identity.

Clearly, someone from a humble background not only won Mu Chengxi’s favor, but even Alfredo treated her in a special manner.

Mu Chengxi asked a waiter for a cup of warm milk and handed it to Wen Xin. Seeing that she had calmed down a lot, with the redness in her eyes and at the corners diminishing, he finally relaxed slightly.

“Wait here for me; I’ll be back shortly, and then we can leave together,” Mu Chengxi said softly, planting a gentle kiss on Wen Xin’s hair.

“Okay, go ahead…”

Wen Xin lowered her head to play a game, not looking at Mu Chengxi. It was a good moment for her to deal with smatters, and she hadn’t figured out an excuse to get rid of Mu Chengxi yet. His departure was timely.

After finishing a game, Wen Xin looked up to see that Liang Luoyu and Mu Bei were not around. She discreetly slipped the dinner knife into her sleeve and stood up, heading towards the exit of the venue.

Just as Wen Xin stepped out of the banquet hall, she sensed someone following her. Her lips curled into a mischievous smile.

She stopped in a beautifully lit, scenic spot by a bridge and spoke in a cool voice, “Send your master out. You’re not my match.”

Aware of Wen Xin’s skills, they dared only to follow from a distance, not daring to make a move.

Then, a tall, somewhat slender figure appeared in Wen Xin’s view. The man was taller than Mu Chengxi, who was already of an ideal height, seeming to be over 190 centimeters tall.

“I didn’t expect your nto be Wen Xin. No wonder I couldn’t find you. How much longer will you hide from me? You’re nineteen now; it’s tto fulfill our marriage agreement.”

Hearing the words ‘marriage agreement’, Wen Xin’s smile faded, her expression turning from cool to icy, her entire demeanor becoming somewhat intimidating.

“Marriage agreement? Are you sure you want to bring that up with me? Do you believe I could end this right here, right now? Stop your wishful thinking!”

Wen Xin hated being constrained the most, especially by those who arranged a nonsensical marriage agreement without her consent. Since that day, this bothersman had been thinking of taking her back.

“You have to acknowledge it even if you don’t want to. Your parents arranged this marriage for you. They may be gone, but that doesn’t change a thing!”

Seeing Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi so close together had already sent Alfredo over the edge..
