Chapter 133 - 125: Misunderstanding 2 (1 update)_2
Ning Guiwan did indeed have a history. It was possible that upon encountering Li Annan’s son outside, she had wanted to intimidate him out of anger but inadvertently triggered his asthma attack. This was not an impossible scenario.
Chi Xiangyu felt conflicted. It was her family’s engagement party. Defending Ning Guiwan seemed unfair to the victim. What would the executives think if they witnessed this? Yet, if she didn’t defend her... Ning Guiwan was a guest from the bride’s side. If a guest from the bride’s side caused such a scene at the engagement party, how would the groom’s family view her Qiaoqiao?
She vaguely regretted agreeing to her father’s request.
This was indeed a little troublemaker...
She glanced at her older brother, Chi Jiaming, hoping he would step forward to resolve the situation.
But Chi Jiaming remained seated, aloof, as if this matter did not concern him. Years of political maneuvering had taught him to remain composed.
His wife, seeing that he had no intention of intervening, lowered her head to drink her juice. Her niece by marriage, removed by two degrees of relation, truly didn’t warrant her getting involved. It would be thankless and might even tarnish her own reputation.
Chi Zhengjun watched the drama unfold with a smile, glancing between the woman standing alone and helpless at the hall entrance and Quan Yu. He remarked to Quan Yu, "My great-niece sure knows how to stir up trouble."
After saying this, he turned to see his friend’s reaction.
Only to find that the seat next to him was empty.
