Chapter 52 - 49: Know Your Place (7 Updates)
Yin Shuyao was caught off guard as an entire glass of wine was splashed onto her face, making it impossible for her to open her eyes. The wine dripped down her face onto her dress, leaving mottled stains.
The unexpected turn of events left Yin Shuyao stunned for several seconds. When she finally reacted, she hurriedly wiped the wine off her face, smearing her eyeliner and eyeshadow into a mess. Her neatly arranged hairdo loosened a few strands due to her frantic movements, leaving her looking quite disheveled.
"Shen Jianian, are you crazy?!"
Her shriek drew the attention of all the guests around.
Qin Zhongtian, who was exchanging greetings with the elders of the family, heard the commotion. Seeing that it was at Fu Jichen’s table, he quickly came over and asked in a calm voice, "What’s happening?"
The Yin couple also came over as they sensed the situation was off.
Yin Shuyao’s exquisite makeup and expensive dress were ruined, Hu Yuzhi was on the verge of breaking down, her venomous gaze fixed on Shen Jianian, not needing to ask to know it was her "handiwork."
"Today is your cousin’s wedding, what do you think you’re doing?" Hu Yuzhi questioned.
Shen Jianian’s face was cold, "If she hadn’t provoked me, I naturally wouldn’t have gone against her."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yin Shuyao felt particularly humiliated. If the situation was not handled well, it would only become more uncontrolled. Her eyes darted around as she began to cry intermittently, "I, I just came over to offer a toast. It’s fine if my cousin is not appreciative, but she splashed wine on my face, and my dress got dirty."
Upon hearing this, Hu Yuzhi’s eyes seemed to emit flames, "Shen Jianian, is this what you call her provoking you? What’s wrong with her offering you a toast?"
There was a lot of murmuring around, with a few words drifting into Shen Jianian’s ears.
