Chapter 511: Chapter 504: Anxious
"I say, Yiran, you understand better than anyone what the occasion is today, so why didnât you instruct your family to behave properly beforehand?"
Behave properly?
Bai Yiran raised an eyebrow; was Luna implying that her family lacked manners?
She sneered internally; since thatâs the case, they might as well go all out. No matter what Bai Yiran and her family do, in the eyes of Leng Liewei and Luna, theyâre still unrefined.
Bai Yiran hadnât spoken yet, but Xia Lian couldnât hold back any longer. She knew the circles of wealthy people are complex, but she hadnât expected them to be so snobbish. Sheâs never experienced such humiliation in her life!
Xia Lian stepped forward and pointed at Mrs. Xu, "Why did I splash you? Donât you have any sense? Youâre the one who cried foul first!"
Seeing Xia Lian about to escalate things, the uncle didnât want to make things difficult for Bai Yiran and was about to intervene. He felt a slight tug on his arm from Bai Yiran beside him and glanced over to see her eyes, clear and smiling.
Seeing Bai Yiran shake her head, the uncle knowingly nodded and ultimately didnât speak.
Leng Yichen looked at Bai Yiran and knew that this kind of situation was nothing new for her, and she could handle it well with her abilities. So he kept a smile on his lips, quietly watching the situation unfold. He wasnât willing to open his mouth and take Bai Yiranâs moment; he would never miss any opportunity for her to shine.
Seeing Xia Lianâs words directed at her, Mrs. Xu raised her neck defiantly. Now that she had a backer even more senior than Bai Yiran, she wasnât afraid!
Xia Lian was enraged by Mrs. Xuâs attitude! Initially, she thought she should consider Bai Yiranâs reputation, but now she didnât care at all, "You! Yes, you! And you all!" Xia Lian pointed at Mrs. Xu and the women gathered with her earlier, "You were gathered together talking bad about my Yiran, saying she canât give birth to a son, isnât held in regard by the Leng Family, and that the Leng Family would eventually kick her out!"
Xia Lianâs words made the madams and young ladies who had previously gossiped about Bai Yiran freeze, like being stripped naked in public.
"Each of you, shamelessly calculating that once the Leng Family kicks out my Yiran, you can marry your daughters into the Leng Family!" Xia Lian continued to speak incessantly, "Your petty schemes are loud! Itâs one thing to look down on us, but how dare you talk about my Yiran like that!"
Xia Lianâs words caused an uproar among those present; such matters were best discussed privately, with everyone understanding without needing them laid out in public like this. Especially, doing so in front of the Leng Family.
Everyone looked at Leng Yichen, whose handsome face had darkened like ink, his presence as icy as a blade. His eyes, cold and sharp as knives, were directed at those Xia Lian pointed out.
Everyoneâs expression soured, except Lunaâs.
In Lunaâs perspective, the more Bai Yiranâs family caused a scene, the better. This would make Leng Liewei dislike her even more!
Sure enough, Leng Lieweiâs face was now extremely unpleasant.
"Mrs. Xu, did you really say such words?" Lunaâs eyes sparkled as she looked at Mrs. Xu.
Under Leng Yichenâs intense pressure, Mrs. Xu was startled, then quickly responded to Lunaâs words by shaking her head, "I didnât say it! Donât accuse me!" Then, she looked at those who had been gossiping with her about Bai Yiran earlier, "Did any of you say it?"
The madams and young ladies glanced at each other. Who would dare admit saying those words now?
They all shook their heads, "We didnât say it..."
"You..." Xia Lian was flustered seeing them lie blatantly.
