Chapter 365 - 230: The Nature of Red Dust Powder_2
In such a situation, if it were elsewhere, Pei Jing might still be able to bully others with his power, but here, this was Zheng Mansion during Old Lady Zheng’s birthday celebration. If this incident were to escalate, even if Ran Yan were to lose her composure in front of everyone due to the Red Dust Powder, and people traced it back to him, it would be very bad.
"Forget it," Pei Jing said reluctantly.
Ran Yan didn’t say another word and stood up to walk outside. If she had any strength to run at the moment, she would have pretended to be shamefully annoyed and rushed out of the room when she slapped Pei Jing.
Upon leaving the room, the slightly cold air outside helped her regain some reason, and she prayed she wouldn’t encounter any more mishaps on her way out, or she would truly lose her composure!
Ran Yan covered her mouth and nose with an embroidered handkerchief and hurried forward. Although there were people coming and going, most were strangers; occasionally, she saw some drunken individuals.
She left the Zheng Mansion without incident, and the gentleman helped Ran Yunsheng into the carriage. Just as Ran Yan was about to board, he hurriedly said, "I am Cheng Huaibi."
Ran Yan turned her head and nodded slightly in his direction, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng."
Under normal circumstances, she might have said a few more words of gratitude, but at the moment her mind was fuzzy, and there was a strange feeling stirring within her body that made her powerless.
Ran Yan gritted her teeth in hatred. The slap she had given Pei Jing had been laced with poison, at least venting some of her anger.
Her mind was growing increasingly blurred, and she couldn’t afford to think too much for the moment.
