Chapter 197: Chapter 197: A Slap for Each
Ye Ningwan stiffly turned her head and indeed saw Leng Ziqing. He was in a white suit, well-groomed, with a pretty girl on his arm.
The pretty girl was none other than Zhang Meimei.
"Madam Zhan, where are you going?"
Shan Tangjing saw Ye Ningwan turn and head for the door and asked in surprise.
But Ye Ningwan ignored her and quickly approached Leng Ziqing and Zhang Meimei.
Seeing Ye Ningwan, Leng Ziqing’s eyes showed surprise, and a hint of panic flashed across his face.
Zhang Meimei, however, was smug, curling her lips and saying, "Ye Ningwan, what are you doing here? That Wu Taotao didn’t come with you?"
"Leng Ziqing, what’s going on?" Ye Ningwan ignored Zhang Meimei and looked coldly at Leng Ziqing.
Leng Ziqing frowned in silence.
Zhang Meimei hooked Leng Ziqing’s arm and said triumphantly, "What’s going on, can’t you see? He’s found his way back to me. So, go back and tell your friend to give up. Mud should stay in mud, dreaming of becoming a phoenix on a branch?"
With a slap, Ye Ningwan hit Zhang Meimei across the face.
"Who are you calling mud, Miss Zhang? It seems you’ve forgotten what it’s like to be slapped." Ye Ningwan scoffed.
"Ye Ningwan, how dare you hit me. Leng Ziqing, your fiancée was slapped, and you just stand by and watch?" Zhang Meimei shouted angrily.
Leng Ziqing clenched his fists.
Ye Ningwan asked him again with a stern face, "Leng Ziqing, she’s your fiancée, so what is Taotao then?"
"I’m sorry." Leng Ziqing lowered his head and apologized.
Those simple words of apology said it all.
Ye Ningwan sneered.
She raised her hand again, slapping Leng Ziqing across the face.
In that short time, she had slapped two people.
The surrounding people gasped in surprise.
Mrs. Leng and Feng Qi heard the news and hurried over.
Feng Qi saw her daughter had been hit and trembled with anger.
How could she swallow this anger? She rushed over to hit Ye Ningwan in return.
However, she was stopped by the arriving Zhan Hanjue.
"Zhan Hanjue, how dare you stop me?" Feng Qi scolded in anger.
Zhan Hanjue coldly said, "She is my wife."
"My daughter was hit by her, what do you say?" Feng Qi angrily questioned.
Zhan Hanjue remained silent.
The obvious bias and favoritism almost drove Feng Qi to rage.
"Changxin."
Mrs. Leng stepped forward and said to Zhan Hanjue with a cold voice, "She can hit others and not be hit back? Zhan Hanjue, you’re going to protect her when she’s being so arrogant?"
"Yes, I am protecting her."
Mrs. Leng: "..."
"Why not call the police then?" Ye Ningwan spoke up: "It’s impossible for you to hit back, so you might as well call the police. Whatever compensation is required, I’m willing to pay."
Feng Qi gritted her teeth, how could compensation solve this? With her status, her husband’s status, how could it be suitable to call the police?
This woman did it on purpose.
"Leng Ziqing, you deserved that slap." Ye Ningwan said again.
Leng Ziqing remained silent with a somber face.
He was already pale, and after a hard slap from Ye Ningwan, half of his face turned red.
At the moment, his face was half white and half red, looking somewhat comical.
"I can’t interfere if you want to go home and I can’t stop you from being with this arrogant, foul-mouthed Miss Zhang. But one thing, have you told Taotao about this? Have you let her know you’re breaking up with her?" Ye Ningwan questioned again.
Leng Ziqing remained silent.
Ye Ningwan scoffed coldly, "It seems you haven’t. What, Leng Ziqing, you still want to have one foot in two boats? The flag at home doesn’t fall while the banners outside flutter?"
"What do you mean by one foot in two boats, Ye Ningwan, watch your words." Zhang Meimei retorted angrily.
Ye Ningwan sneered again, "It’s indeed not having one foot in two boats, it seems you’re a boat he doesn’t want, just shoved under his feet. But Miss Zhang, rest assured, a fickle man like this, only you want him, my friend doesn’t care. After the banquet, I’ll call her over, and you can clear this up face to face."
Upon hearing this, Leng Ziqing clenched his fists and spoke in anger, "Ye Ningwan, who do you think you are? This is between me and Taotao, I’ll tell her, who are you to meddle?"
Ye Ningwan coldly replied, "Who am I? I’m Wu Taotao’s friend. Leng Ziqing, being with whoever you want is your freedom. But purposely deceiving Wu Taotao, that’s something I cannot ignore. What kind of man are you if you don’t have the courage to confess to her?"
"It’s none of your concern what kind of person I am. Ye Ningwan, if you dare to tell her, don’t blame me for being rude to you." Leng Ziqing threatened.
Ye Ningwan didn’t respond, Zhan Hanjue then chuckled coldly.
"Leng Ziqing, are you forgetting who she belongs to by threatening her?"
Leng Ziqing looked at Zhan Hanjue, clenching his fists, "Cousin, don’t intervene in this matter."
"Do you think I want to involve myself in your affairs? A man who can’t even control his own desires, I don’t bother. But if Ye Ningwan wants to get involved, no one can stop her." Zhan Hanjue declared, making his stance clear.
Hearing this, Ye Ningwan immediately understood the situation.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, pulled out her phone from her exquisite purse, and called Wu Taotao.
Upon seeing this, Leng Ziqing rushed over to snatch it.
But with Zhan Hanjue present, how could he succeed?
Ye Ningwan completed the call to Wu Taotao, then gave a cold glance at Leng Ziqing, and left with Zhan Hanjue.
The banquet resumed, and others continued their chatting and laughing.
It was as if everything that had just happened was a small interlude, quickly passed.
Only Leng Ziqing stood there, stunned after Ye Ningwan finished the call.
It was as if someone had drawn out his soul.
Zhang Meimei, seeing him in this state, frowned in disgust.
If it weren’t for that matter, she wouldn’t even fancy him like this.
Feng Qi wasn’t happy either and couldn’t help but complain to Mrs. Leng, "Look at your son, he’s like the walking dead, what will others think."
Mrs. Leng knew her son looked bad.
But what could she do?
She could trick him back home but couldn’t control his heart.
These days, her son lived like a zombie, and it made her sad to see.
Actually, she was quite satisfied with Ye Ningwan’s decisive move.
"He’ll be fine eventually, someone had to break this deadlock." Mrs. Leng said.
Feng Qi, feeling helpless, dragged her daughter aside to check on her face.
Soon, the banquet ended.
Ye Ningwan found Leng Ziqing and forced him to go out to meet Wu Taotao.
Zhan Hanjue naturally followed Ye Ningwan, afraid she might be bullied.
Perhaps after the entire evening, Leng Ziqing had also come to terms with it and surprisingly didn’t resist, following Ye Ningwan out.
Wu Taotao and Ye Shao had already arrived and were waiting in the hotel lobby.
