After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash
Chapter 77: Beaten Down

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Beaten Down

This phrase is a perfect example of indirectly criticizing someone, the young lady who made the suggestion turned pale and awkwardly smiled with pressed lips.

Everyone present came wanting to see Bian Yue, it was just human nature after all, considering Bian Yue was held as a princess in Li Sihe’s palm throughout her entire high school.

Nowadays, Bian Yue has married into the Shen Family, and Shen Jinci overlooks all from the pinnacle of power as the true authority holder.

Who wouldn’t envy Bian Yue’s fortune? A wealthy orphan without self-protection capabilities, yet she has managed to survive in the survival-of-the-fittest law of the jungle up until now, going so far.

"Jie Ning, I know you have a close relationship with Bian Yue, but we are all friends here, isn’t it somewhat inappropriate to make such statements that cause others to lose face?"

Pan Ni smiled gently, her bright eyes full of kindness.

Beside her, Bai Wenning chimed in opportunistically, "If you ask me, everyone is just curious. After all, the last time anyone went to attend Bian Yue and Mr. Shen’s wedding was just me and Pan Ni, we haven’t all had the chance to see Mr. Shen, right?"

"Miss Zhuang is about to get engaged to Mr. Li, naturally she wouldn’t want to hear these things." It was unknown who’s male companion added with a laugh, "Who would want to hear news about their fiancé’s ex-girlfriend?"

People glanced at each other, no one responded.

In the presence of the top tycoons, although every man here was a son from a wealthy family, these were just the idle rich sons of different households, without power in their hands, merely lacking no wealth. Regarding the scandalous anecdotes of the Shen and Li families, there weren’t many fools daring to speak recklessly without understanding the implications.

This man who spoke probably did not know that even his father dare not stand too straight in front of Shen Jinci.

After all, the entire family’s honor is nothing compared to the residual influence of the Shen Family.

Zhuang Jie Ning nonchalantly sipped her drink and looked at the clueless young man, "Zhong Yuwen?"

"Do you know me? It’s my pleasure to be recognized by Miss Zhuang." Zhong Yuwen, with his neatly cut short hair and a rebellious look, raised his wine glass to Zhuang Jie Ning with eagerness, "How about a drink?"

Beside him, his girlfriend Anna’s face changed, her melon-seed face flushed red, almost as if willing to kill Zhong Yuwen with her gaze.

The playboy truly couldn’t keep himself in line!

Zhuang Jie Ning smiled, saying lightly, "Zhong Yuwen, the matter between me and Li Sihe is not your place to point fingers. Whether we get married or engaged, are you in a position to know?"

Miss Zhuang is known for her noble character, lofty ideals, and receives high praises, never being so sharp in public before.

Zhong Yuwen’s face changed, but he knew he couldn’t afford to offend, giving a cold laugh and putting down his wine glass.

Bai Wenning and Pan Ni, originally here to find Bian Yue, saw the atmosphere was not good. As the only two unrelated outsiders, they had no choice but to step in and smooth things over.

Meanwhile, downstairs in the hall, under the PR’s lead, Wen Jiao and Bian Yue were heading to a private room.

On the way, Bian Yue asked Wen Jiao if it was a bit wrong for them to intentionally leave Shen Zhaoli behind.

Wen Jiao snorted, "I want to make him angry! This relative of Shen Jinci talks too much!"

Bian Yue couldn’t help but laugh, nodding thoughtfully.

Wen Jiao leaned close to Bian Yue’s ear and whispered, "Do you think they will engage in a business battle in the future?"

Bian Yue thought of her time at Lixing Group, seeing Shen Zhaoli beaten with fractured legs and feet, "Whether it’s a business battle I do not know, but a physical fight might be possible."

Wen Jiao’s eyes widened.

She couldn’t imagine someone as aloof and detached as Shen Jinci getting physical.

As for Shen Zhaoli...

Wen Jiao coughed, "Shen Zhaoli won’t get beaten down, right?"

Seeing Bian Yue’s smile without words, Wen Jiao burst into laughter, "Hahaha, I guessed it right! Shen Zhaoli really is just useless pork char siu!"

As Bian Yue and Wen Jiao entered the private room, Wen Jiao’s laughter had not yet subsided, appearing to be in an extremely good mood.

Everyone looked at the two of them and spoke unanimously.

"Bian Yue, Wen Jiao, you’re here at last, we’ve been waiting for you!" said the high school class president, Zhan Xiangli.

Zhan Xiangli used to wear glasses in high school, but now she switched to contact lenses and learned how to do makeup, looking significantly prettier.

Bian Yue smiled at Zhan Xiangli and said, "Hello, class president!"

"Everyone has grown up, how can I be the class president from our childhood?" As Zhan Xiangli spoke, she walked up to Bian Yue, discreetly looked around to confirm there was no one behind, and then probed, "Bian Yue, Mr. Shen didn’t come with you?"

Bian Yue said if he came to the reunion, it might make everyone uncomfortable.

"How could that be! If Mr. Shen could come, we would all be too happy!"

Bian Yue understood Zhan Xiangli’s meaning and could only softly respond, "He is really tied up with work today."

Wen Jiao was impressed by Bian Yue’s, this little fox’s, ability to lie without blushing.

What work?

At lunch, Shen Jinci was still there, peeling shrimp for Bian Yue for an hour.

Where’s the busy?

"You have a point, work is important," said Zhan Xiangli with a smile. "Let’s sit down first, sit down and order."

Bian Yue and Wen Jiao sat between Zhuang Jie Ning and Pan Ni.

Zhuang Jie Ning smiled gently at Bian Yue, "Yueyue, long time no see."

Bian Yue recalled the day she brought Zhuang Jie Ning back to the Shen Family Mansion, and after dinner, she had been drinking; when Shen Jinci waited for her to sober up, he told her that Zhuang Jie Ning had tried to seduce him.

Bian Yue inevitably felt a lump in her heart, her smile faded a bit, distant and polite, "Long time no see."

Zhuang Jie Ning seemed oblivious to Bian Yue’s coldness, still smiling gracefully. She waited for Bian Yue to be seated, then said, "I saw it was raining outside, so I ordered some ginger duck for you to dispel the dampness."

Really considerate.

Bian Yue coolly said a thank you.

Just then, Zhong Yuwen, who had been choked up by Zhuang Jie Ning earlier, saw Zhuang Jie Ning’s warm face meeting cold buttocks and couldn’t help but mock, "I heard previously that the Zhuang and Li families have good relations, and Miss Zhuang and Miss Bian are friends who can talk about anything. Seeing today, seems like the rumors are indeed false."

Zhuang Jie Ning glanced calmly at Zhong Yuwen, "What happens between me and Bian Yue is none of your business, and you have no right to sow discord between us."

On the side, Wen Jiao munching on seeds, leaned close to the contemplative Bian Yue, "Bian Yue, is there some misunderstanding between you and Zhuang Jie Ning? I heard that a few days ago, Zhuang Jie Ning had a big fight with Li Sihe because of you?"

Bian Yue was taken aback, "What?"

"You didn’t know?" Wen Jiao leaned closer to Bian Yue’s ear, "The Li Family intends to arrange a marriage alliance with the Zhuang Family, Zhuang Jie Ning said you are her good friend, and she absolutely couldn’t be with Li Sihe, this angered Mr. Zhuang so much that he even hit Zhuang Jie Ning..."

While the two were whispering, unbeknownst to them, Zhong Yuwen having had a drink, became emotionally stirred and stood up.

"Zhuang Jie Ning! I’m most annoyed by you so-called top daughters of wealthy families, acting all superior. Seeing you put on this sanctimonious face just makes one feel nauseous!"

Zhong Yuwen sneered, "Who doesn’t have a powerful family backing them? Just you acting all high and mighty?"
