My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 917: A Minor Accident

“Yeah, that’s Leng Zhiyuan. I heard that she was shot to death in prison last time. I wonder how she came back to life. ”

At this time, a woman quickly interrupted them and hushed, “Hey, keep your voices down. Don’t gossip about this topic. Whether she is Leng Zhiyuan or not is not something we can talk about. The higher-ups did not investigate, so don’t ask for trouble! ”

Although the other women were not convinced when they heard these words, they all shrunk their heads in fear. This was a political issue. It was not something that ordinary high-ranking officials or noble families could talk about.

This kind of topic was quite sensitive.

“Humph, if you don’t want us to talk about it, then we won’t talk about it. We’ll just treat her as Miss Manyao. Well, ain’t she lucky? In the past, when she was with Major General Zhou, the Zhou family treated her like a queen. Who would have thought that she’d hooked up with Ye Si after breaking up with Major General Zhou? He is a beautiful young master in the capital. We couldn’t even get close to Ye Si, yet this Miss Manyao suddenly became Ye Si’s girlfriend. How can we not get angry? ”

“That’s right, she has taken over all the good things in the world. She had undoubtedly became the spotlight at tonight’s banquet and had made a name for herself. ”

At this moment, a woman looked at Leng Zhiyuan with increasing hatred. “Just You Wait, I’ll go and embarrass her. ”

“Hey, Xiao Mo. Don’t go! ”

“Alright now, just let Xiao Mo go. Xiao Mo had had a crush on Ye Si for a long time. Do you think she will be able to work off that anger by doing nothing? She won’t feel good unless she goes.”

“But that Miss Manyao has someone protecting her... ”

...

Ye Xiaotao bumped into a friend and the two of them went to the side to play. Leng Zhiyuan said goodbye, then walked towards the bathroom.

She didn’t like such kind of public occasion.

After walking a few steps, there was a group of wealthy ladies gathered in front of them and excitedly comparing the pieces of jewelry they wore. She took a glance and walked past them from behind.

However, at this moment, there was an “Aiyo” sound. A wealthy lady who was approaching her suddenly staggered. The lady holding a glass of red wine was about to bump into her. The wine was about to spill out of the glass and onto her body.

Everyone’s attention in the hall was instantly attracted by the wealthy lady’s squeak. Everyone gasped as they watched the scene unfolds.

Han Xuan also saw that Leng Zhiyuan was about to be hit. Her eyes lit up and was overjoyed. She was waiting to see Leng Zhiyuan embarrass himself.

However, at this moment, a strong wind blew past her. Zhou Yao, who was originally standing beside her, had already moved towards Leng Zhiyuan.

“Hubby, don’t go! ” Han Xuan quickly reached out her hands to pull him back.

Zhou Yao was pulled by his sleeve. Just as he was trying to get away, a warm and handsome figure appeared in his line of sight. Ye Ziyi had already rushed over there.

Zhou Yao froze.

His big hands in his trouser pocket clenched into a fist.

Everyone thought that Leng Zhiyuan would be hit. After all, everything happened too suddenly. However, everyone saw that Leng Zhiyuan nimbly sidestepped and reached out her hand to support the stumbling lady at ease.

The red wine in the lady’s glass was swaying. Leng Zhiyuan pushed the lady upward, and she stood up straight. The red wine in the glass also calmed down. Not a single drop spilled out.

This crisis was resolved.

Ye Ziyi, who had rushed over, stopped in his tracks. His eyes were shining as he looked at Leng Zhiyuan’s beautiful back.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief. The lady steadied herself and quickly looked at Leng Zhiyuan, “Miss Manyao, I’m... I’m sorry. I think someone had bumped into me just now... ”

Leng Zhiyuan shook her head lightly. Then, she turned her head and looked in a certain direction, “Stop! ”

Xiao Mo was just about to sneak away. She hid among a group of ladies and thought that she wouldn’t be discovered. However, Leng Zhiyuan’s clear voice sounded.

Then, the crowd made a path for her. Everyone’s eyes were on Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo was forced to stop. This time, she couldn’t get away. So she turned around and looked towards Leng Zhiyuan with a scornful mock, “Miss Manyao, are you calling me? ”

“Yes,” Leng Zhiyuan nodded. “I’m calling the person who was preparing to flee.”

“To flee? No, I just... wanted to use the bathroom... ” Xiao Mo defended.

“The bathroom?” Leng Zhiyuan curled the corners of his lips and gave a half-smile. “Are you sure you didn’t want to run away from the crime scene? You intentionally bumped into this madam so that she could bump into me, right? Don’t you need to apologize before you leave? ”

Leng Zhiyuan’s voice echoed in the quiet hall. It was sonorous and mellow. Xiao Mo saw that everyone was looking at her suspiciously. She hurriedly squeezed out two drops of tears, “Miss Manyao, I don’t understand what you’re saying. You said that I bumped into you, but who could testify? I don’t have any enmity with you. Why would I do that? How can you accuse me... ”

Indeed, no one saw Xiao Mo bump into anyone. Now that Xiao Mo was acting pitiful, people became skeptical. At this moment, someone stood out and said, “Miss Manyao, since you’re fine, I think we should let go of this matter. Let us value harmony, haha... ”

Xiao Mo was pleased when she heard those words. “Value Harmony.” She didn’t think that Leng Zhiyuan would dare to do anything to her in front of all these people!

Ye Ziyi stood close by and watched. He was about to step forward.

At this moment, the lady felt her vision blur. The wine glass in her hand had been snatched away. Then Xiao Mo screamed as her face was covered in red wine. She quickly reached out with both hands to cover her face.

Everyone froze. Many people didn’t even see Leng Zhiyuan make a move. She reached out to grab the wine glass, then poured the red wine on Xiao Mo’s face, all in one go.

“You... ” Xiao Mo trembled.

Leng Zhiyuan placed the empty wine glass on the waiter’s plate, “What did I do? Did anyone see me spill wine on your face? Don’t forget to value harmony. ”

Xiao Mo was speechless.

No one expected Leng Zhiyuan to be someone not to cross. Although she was a little cold, she was capable and confident.

At this moment, Ye Ziyi walked forward, “Zhiyuan, are you okay? ”

Leng Zhiyuan shook her head. “I’m fine. ”

Ye Ziyi glanced at Xiao Mo then smiled at everyone, “It’s good that my girlfriend is fine. Everyone, continue. Don’t let this upset your mood.”

“Ye Si, your girlfriend isn’t easy. No wonder she could conquer you, Chief Ye. Haha. ” Everyone praised her sincerely.

“Oh, it’s nothing” Ye Ziyi responded politely.

“Ziyi, I’m going to the restroom,” Leng Zhiyuan ignored everyone’s gazes. She glanced at Ye Ziyi and left.

Zhou Yao stood where he was and watched the beautiful figure disappear from his sight. He felt a little proud that his woman would never let others bully her.

However, the Zhou Yao right now was no longer qualified to stand by her side.

...

Leng Zhiyuan left the hotel from the back. She stood amid a field of flowers and breathed in the fresh night air. The hall was too stuffy.
