The dessert that was originally delicious suddenly tasted bland as Fang Qian spoke. Xiong Miao ate with difficulty, her face filled with sadness. A gust of wind brushed by, causing a chill to run down her already cold skin.

Looking up, she met the sharp gaze of Ling Xiaoxiao sitting opposite her. The woman wore a smile, yet it felt like there was a knife hidden within it. “This kind of high-class place, it must be your first time here, you even find the dessert fascinating.” Ling Xiaoxiao’s sarcastic remark ended with her gaze scornfully landing on the cake in front of her.

Xiong Miao’s hand, which was feeding herself, froze. No sooner had Fang Qian, who had mocked her, left than Ling Xiaoxiao arrived. Was she just destined for bad luck today?

Already in a bad mood, Ling Xiaoxiao’s words only made her feel worse, as if her heart was stuffed with cotton. “Miss Ling, Zhan Yeling is over there, not here,” Xiong Miao put down her spoon, pointed towards Zhan Yeling who was chatting with others, her eyes calm and cold.

“Regardless of where Zhan Yeling is, his heart is always with me. Even if he gets temporarily entangled with wildflowers and weeds, he will discard them like trash after they’ve served their purpose,” Ling Xiaoxiao, the wealthy heiress, spoke with a proud demeanor even while belittling others.

“Women like you, unworldly and thinking that you can become a phoenix by climbing onto a rich man, I’ve seen many. They all end up badly in the end. Zhan Yeling isn’t something you can covet, you’d best stay away from him!” Her words became increasingly harsh.

Xiong Miao felt a fire rising in her chest, her face flushed with anger, “The phrase ‘sour grapes’ refers to people like you. You say I’m not good enough for Zhan Yeling, but where do you stand? Zhan Yeling doesn’t even see you.”

She had seen it with her own eyes, how indifferent Zhan Yeling was to her. How could she be so arrogant in front of her?

“You…” Ling Xiaoxiao was so angry her chest heaved. This was the Zhan family’s banquet, she couldn’t lose her temper here.

Otherwise, she would have slapped this bumpkin who dared to talk back to her!

“I am his fiancee, we will marry sooner or later! You’re nothing more than a plaything to Zhan Yeling!” Ling Xiaoxiao’s only shield was this title.

“Is that so? But Zhan Yeling and I are truly in love. I believe, love can conquer all,” Xiong Miao wouldn’t let herself be bullied.

The words of Fang Qian earlier had already upset her, and now came Ling Xiaoxiao. If she continued to back down, they’d think she was easy to bully.

Wasn’t Ling Xiaoxiao saying she couldn’t have Zhan Yeling? Then she would declare their love and let that rile her up!

“What!” Ling Xiaoxiao was shocked, her voice involuntarily rising.

In that moment, she herself didn’t even realize how panicked she was.

If Zhan Yeling truly loved this woman, then she would truly lose.

Suppressing the fleeting fear in her heart, Ling Xiaoxiao put on a nonchalant expression and sneered, “Stop puffing yourself up. You should hurry up and leave the Rich Corporation, leave Zhan Yeling!”

“I won’t,” Xiong Miao was not someone who had grown up being threatened.

“If you don’t, I’ll make you suffer in all of Kyoto!” Ling Xiaoxiao’s face contorted in anger as she uttered her threat in a low voice.

“If you dare to harm her, I’ll ensure your entire family can’t live in peace in Kyoto!” A sharp, icy male voice broke through the palpable tension.
