Chapter 199
Zhu Lingling\'s roar echoed through the hall, leaving everyone in stunned silence as they watched the once-close friends turn against each other.
Yu Zhi, being from a wealthy family, had never been struck before. Her fair cheeks quickly flushed red, and almost instinctively, she turned back, glaring fiercely at Zhu Lingling.
The anger momentarily robbed her of her reason, shattering her usual elegant demeanor.
"How dare you hit me? Zhu Lingling, are you out of your mind?"
"I think you\'re the one who\'s lost it! You have no shame! How could you deceive me like this? I supported you, helped you deal with Ji Fei, and even wanted to help you win back Qin Xian! How could you betray me like this? Your illness was fake, your relationship with Qin Xian was fake! You\'ve been lying to me from the start, using me!"
Zhu Lingling was truly devastated. Now that Yu Zhi\'s true nature had been exposed, it was all too clear how despicable she was. This was something Zhu Lingling could not accept. In her mind, only a perfect Yu Zhi deserved a perfect Qin Xian, a match made in heaven.
If someone like Yu Zhi could become Qin Xian\'s girlfriend, then why couldn\'t she compete? At least she was sincere about her feelings for Qin Xian. If he were willing to be with her, she would overlook any family concerns.
But because Yu Zhi had embellished her relationship with Qin Xian, Zhu Lingling couldn\'t even feel jealous. She felt there was no hope or chance, so she chose to support their relationship from the start, rather than trying to win Qin Xian for herself.
Now, everything seemed like a joke.
Zhu Lingling felt that her entire life had been wasted by Yu Zhi\'s deceit.
Yu Zhi\'s face alternated between shades of green and red. Already having lost everything, Zhu Lingling\'s betrayal only made matters worse.
Now everyone clearly knew that she had returned to steal a married man and target his wife.
Although such things were common in high society, everyone still maintained a facade of decency. Who would expose it so blatantly?
She could almost hear the mockery growing louder!
This was truly the final straw, stripping away her last shred of dignity.
For some reason, Yu Zhi instinctively looked towards Qin Xian.
[Indeed, when fans turn against you, the damage is the greatest! Hehe, it\'s getting more and more exciting, fight, fight...]
Qin Xian found Ji Fei\'s gleeful commentary amusing. However, he seemed to remember something and spoke softly to Ji Fei, completely oblivious to Yu Zhi\'s pleading gaze.
"What did that phone call just say...?" Qin Xian began.
Ji Fei, puzzled, replied, "I understood it."
Qin Xian was taken aback.
Strange, he remembered Ji Fei accompanying him to a meeting with foreign partners once, but she couldn\'t understand them then.
Had she learned it later?
Qin Xian had his doubts but didn\'t delve deeper.
Ji Fei simply assumed that Qin Xian didn\'t know his nominal wife well enough and didn\'t think much of it. She continued to enjoy the drama.
Meanwhile, Zhu Lingling was in a frenzy, growing more and more furious.
She kept cursing, "Bitch!"
Finally, Yu Zhi couldn\'t take it anymore and completely lost it.
"You\'re the bitch! Don\'t think I don\'t know why you wanted to be friends with me. You like Qin Xian too, don\'t you? You just wanted to be by my side as a friend to see Qin Xian every day. I even saw you hugging his coat and secretly sniffing it in a disgusting manner!"
The revelation left everyone gasping in shock, their eyes darting around in disbelief.
Even Qin Xian froze.
Ji Fei turned to look at Qin Xian, startled.
[I was too busy eating popcorn to pay attention earlier. Let me check... Oh my god, it\'s true. One treats him as a backup, the other is just plain creepy. What kind of people are these! Sympathies to Qin Xian, I\'m lighting a candle for you.]
Qin Xian felt a bit dizzy, given his slight obsession with cleanliness.
Ji Fei, seeing his pale face, patted his shoulder sympathetically.
The others at the table didn\'t know what to say, overwhelmed by the series of shocks.
But seeing Ji Fei pat Qin Xian in comfort, several couldn\'t help but chuckle.
Indeed, laughter only shifts, it never disappears.
Zhu Lingling wasn\'t afraid of being exposed for liking Qin Xian, but being publicly called out for such behavior made her furious. She lunged at Yu Zhi, grabbing her hair and starting a brawl, all the while cursing.
"I\'ll kill you, you slut!"
Yu Zhi, too, abandoned her image as a refined socialite from the upper class and fought back against Zhu Lingling, who was like a rabid dog, refusing to let go.
Everyone was stunned. Such a scene was rare to see, and they quickly pulled out their phones to take covert photos.
The last time such a scene occurred at a reunion was when Ji Fei attended.
Back then, Ji Fei had vented her anger alone, and Qin Xian had intervened in time, preventing a major uproar.
Now, with both women pulling hair and slapping each other, accompanied by curses, the chaos was even more intense.
In the end, Luo Fei, Xuan Yi, and Cen Ting had to step in to break up the fight.
The reunion had to be cut short.
Yu Zhi, probably too ashamed to face anyone, left in tears, likely never to return to the country for development.
Everyone was left in awe. Who could have predicted that tonight would see the male lead himself battling his former love, with the original wife watching the drama unfold?
The group gathered at the hotel entrance, gossiping in small clusters, waiting for their cars.
Qin Xian and Ji Fei stood together, with the others from their table gradually joining them.
Luo Fei spoke first, "I was planning to announce my marriage to Shi Shi tonight, but the atmosphere was ruined. I\'ll just send you all invitations later."
Qin Xian nodded.
Luo Fei chuckled, glancing between Qin Xian and Ji Fei, "When will your wedding be...?"
Tonight, he had seen the depth of his friend\'s feelings.
The question piqued the interest of the others, who were now mostly indifferent, as long as Qin Xian was happy.
Only Xuan Yi, Luo Zhou, and Qi Li still looked somewhat displeased.
Qin Xian\'s response remained the same, turning to Ji Fei, "It\'s up to her."
Ji Fei, who had been thinking about what she might have missed tonight, turned to look at Qin Xian.
"Huh?"
Aliali: 6748e879c4f3f33ac47fb447[Isn\'t the drama over? What is he talking about now?]
Qin Xian sighed. Could it be that he had never been acting in the first place?
Could such a thing be faked?
Just as he was about to speak, a voice came from a distance.
"Qin Xian, I have something to tell you!" Zhu Lingling suddenly rushed over, standing before Qin Xian.
Qin Xian almost reflexively pulled Ji Fei back a step.
Zhu Lingling\'s expression changed at the action.
All eyes focused on them.
Ji Fei almost burst out laughing.
[Are you serious with that step back? Look, her face turned green. Hehehe.]
