Qiao Ying thought that this was Principal Zhang's birthday banquet and it would not be good to make any trouble, so she ignored it and walked away. As a result, this action angered Su Lingwei even more: "Who allowed you to leave? I'm talking to you, stand still."
"Didn't you hear me telling you to stand still? Are you deaf?"
Su Lingwei refused to let go and followed her, but the other party completely ignored her. She was annoyed and quickly blocked Qiao Ying's path.
Looking at Qiao Ying's pretty face, she acted on impulse and directly splashed the wine in her hand towards Qiao Ying.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, the other party also moved.
Qiao Ying raised her hand to block Su Lingwei's action directly, splashing the liquor back onto herself.
Su Lingwei shrieked, immediately attracting many eyes.
"Isn't that the young miss of the Su family? I heard she has an unruly temperament. Who is so blind that they actually dare to splash wine on her?"
"What's going on here?"
"This girl is in trouble now."
Several whispers sounded.
There was wine on Su Lingwei's face and chest. The wine slid down her cheeks and the makeup she had carefully done for two hours was destroyed.
Having been pampered since she was a child, Su Lingwei couldn't believe that she, the young miss of the Su family, had actually been publicly splashed with wine and lost so much face.
She looked at Qiao Ying with fiery eyes, as if wanting to eat her.
"Damn!" She raised her hand to hit Qiao Ying.
The crowd was slightly shocked.
"Stop!" A thick and powerful voice rang out, stopping her scoldingly.
Su Lingwei looked up to see Huo Lord walking over with big strides, holding his cane, standing between her and Qiao Ying like a mountain.
Huo Lord scolded Su Lingwei with a barrage of questions: "What's wrong with you? Why are you bullying this girl? Which family are you from? Are you from the Su family? Call your parents over here and let me ask them how they taught you."
Su Lingwei was a little frightened by Huo Lord's momentum.
She immediately retorted, "It was her who splashed me."
Huo Lord's eyes widened angrily: "You're still lying. This old man saw it very clearly that you were the bully."
Huo Chengdong came over: "Sister Ying, are you alright?"
Huo Jingyue also came and asked concernedly: "Qiao classmate."
Qiao Ying slowly put her hands back into the big front pockets of her hoodie. In her heart she thought if this Huo Lord had shouted two seconds slower, something would have been broken on this Miss Su.
Qiao Ying: "Your grandfather is in good shape."
Huo Chengdong: "I'm kidding. Just at the door, I got hit by him twice. My dad got beaten by him yesterday too."
Huo Jingyue reached out and hit Huo Chengdong: "Talk about your own embarrassing things. Don't talk about dad's."
Huo Lord's voice boomed: "Daring to bully people like this in front of so many people, I wonder what your behaviour is like in private."
"What's going on here?" Hearing the noise, Su Lingwei’s father rushed over.
"What's the matter? Why are you so angry, sir? Please calm down." Seeing Huo Lord, Su Father looked at his daughter.
Huo Lord pointed his cane at Su Lingwei: "Is this your daughter? Ask her to say what she just did."
Father Su asked his daughter, "Lingwei, what happened?"
Having never been scolded by an outsider like this, Su Lingwei felt frustrated and wronged at the same time, and even more aggrieved: "I..."
Su Lingwei couldn't say it.
Huo Chengdong helped her: "Chairman Su, your precious daughter just wanted to splash someone with wine, but was blocked by the other person and got splashed in the face herself, then got angry out of humiliation and wanted to hit someone until my grandfather caught her."
After listening, Su Father recognized Qiao Ying next to Huo Chengdong and guessed that it was related to the auction incident last time. He knew his daughter’s temperament well, and didn’t even need to ask how the conflict started.
Su Father looked at his daughter angrily and disappointedly: "You..."
Hearing the discussion from the guests around them, Su Lingwei wished she could find a hole in the ground and drill into it. She lowered her head and cursed the Huo family and Qiao Ying in her heart.
Su Father said, "Apologize to her."
Su Lingwei couldn't swallow her pride.
Su Father said, "I'm telling you to apologize. Did you hear me?"
"This girl is so lucky. Who doesn't know that Huo Lord hates bullying the most? If not for Huo Lord's support, she would have been bullied miserably by the young miss of the Su family today."
While the guests were talking,
Zhang Chengyong and Xu Zhiyi came over with a large group of people: "Qiao classmate? What happened here?"
Huo Chengdong, doing good deeds thoroughly, explained it again.
Seeing Su Lingwei’s humiliated appearance, he gradually raised his voice, wishing he could use a loudspeaker to tell every person at the scene.
Su Father quickly apologized to Zhang Chengyong for disturbing his birthday banquet.
Zhang Chengyong raised his hand to stop him, his face slightly sinking: “Chairman Su, you should apologize not to me."
Hearing Zhang Chengyong’s reaction, the guests said: “It looks like this girl is Zhang’s favorite student. He is protecting her.”
Zhang Chengyong: “Besides, classmate Qiao is my old man’s honored guest today that I invited with great difficulty.”
The crowd was shocked: “Honored guest? What is this girl’s background?”
“With Principal Zhang’s status, even Master Qin would have to give him face. Who could be harder to invite than Master Qin?”
Huo Chengdong looked at Qiao Ying and said, "Honored guest? Are academics so popular now?” Solving math problems makes one so awesome?
Su Father looked at Qiao Ying.
Su Lingwei didn't expect that this poor wretch who took taxis everywhere, deceiving money from people, would become Zhang Chengyong’s honored guest.
In the end,
Under his father's firm tone, Su Lingwei reluctantly apologized to Qiao Ying.
Su Lingwei felt humiliated. She had never suffered such a great humiliation before. After apologizing, she ran out of the banquet hall.
"Your daughter really doesn't know any better. No matter what private grievances, she should look at what day and what occasion it is today. Relying on her family’s support, she didn't learn well at all."
As Huo Chengdong expected, after scolding Su Lingwei, Huo Lord also educated Su Father.
Huo Chengdong watched with joy until his grandfather's artillery fire swept towards him. He heard Huo Lord continue: "I hate these spoiled brat kids the most."
Huo Chengdong silently put away his silly smile.
Su Father also felt completely humiliated. After apologizing for his daughter, he bid farewell to Zhang Chengyong.
Su Qingyu slipped away with him. Seeing that her father who went out to make a phone call had come back now, she didn’t know what had happened and squeezed to the front.
Su Qingyu lifted her skirt and slipped over to pull him: "Dad let's go back."
Su Zhan said his daughter was ignorant.
"The banquet hasn't even started yet, how can we leave now? Why is everyone gathered together over there? Are they cutting the cake?" Su Zhan stretched his neck to look inside again, but suddenly saw Qiao Ying inside.
Su Zhan was stunned and looked at the girl in disbelief.
This face...
