"If I say that I don't even know the reason, would you believe me?" Ming Xi rubbed the space between her brows, "I'm a little thirsty after talking too much tonight, can you pour me a glass of water?"

She glanced at the glass of water in Jiang Mengyue's hand, and spoke sincerely.

Jiang Mengyue narrowed her eyes slightly, her heart heaving violently.

"I'll take it myself." Ming Xi walked over, reaching out to get the glass of water in person.

However, when her hand was about to touch the glass of water, Jiang Mengyue suddenly waved her hand and spilled the glass of water on the ground.

The sound of "Boom -" made the atmosphere in the room strange.

Ming Xi raised her eyebrows, "Miss Jiang, what does this mean?"

"Sorry, I was just careless just now." Jiang Mengyue squatted down and picked up the fragments of water cups on the floor one by one.

Her heart beat faster immediately.

What are you doing?
Obviously as long as she doesn't do anything, Ming Xi will drink this glass of water.

If she finds another chance to escape, this matter cannot be blamed on her.

But now-

Ming Xi looked at her quietly, and when Jiang Mengyue got up, she suddenly said, "Thank you."

Jiang Mengyue was taken aback, and looked up at her in surprise, only to see Mingxi's face was very calm.

She glanced down at the water stains on the floor, and murmured: "I don't care what happened to the water. But you still took the initiative to stop it. In this way, I owe you a favor." .”

"What do you mean by that?" Jiang Mengyue had a bad premonition in her heart, and her face was full of vigilance.

Ming Xi smiled, "Did you know? When a good person wants to pretend to be a bad person, it's easy to show his flaws."

When she entered the room, she saw Jiang Mengyue keeping an eye on the glass of water.

For some reason, although she hadn't known her for a long time, she always instinctively thought that Jiang Mengyue would not hurt her.

But Lu Jingyang was different, that man was full of tricks, and Jiang Mengyue was caught by him, so he would definitely do something helplessly.

"You..." Jiang Mengyue was dumbfounded for a while, and the eyes she looked at Mingxi also became complicated.

For a long time, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips.

It turned out that Ming Xi had already seen through her poor acting skills!

"Miss Jiang, actually..."

Ming Xi still wanted to say something, Jiang Mengyue quickly walked around her and walked out.

Du Ruize rushed in the moment he opened the door. Seeing the water stains and some glass shards on the floor, he stepped forward worriedly, "What's going on?"

Ming Xi lowered her eyes and pondered, "Now that I have returned to KT Company, there will definitely be many people who are against me, and they are ready to attack KT. Ruize, we must be more careful in the future."

She doesn't know what Lu Jingyang will ask Jiang Mengyue to do next time, but she must also protect the people around her and take precautions in advance.

But as long as Lu Jingyang is still there, there will be a day when she will have a real conflict with Jiang Mengyue.

Thinking of this, Ming Xi's brain ached again.

"I see you are very tired, go out first." Du Ruize helped her to go out.

Ming Xi nodded, "Ting Lu is coming soon."

Lu Jingyang saw Mingxi walking out intact from the corner, and immediately found Jiang Mengyue, raised his hand and slapped her across the face.

With a "pop", half of her face was bloodshot.

"What are you doing? Why didn't you let her drink that glass of water?" Lu Jingyang angrily scolded.

From five years ago to now, he has always regarded himself as her savior.

Jiang Mengyue wiped off the blood overflowing from the corner of her lips, sneered, then raised her hand, and slapped him heavily on the face.

Lu Jingyang didn't expect that she would dare to resist, and was immediately stunned by her.

"Lu Jingyang! Don't always bully me with my kindness!"

"You crazy woman! Do you want to use this method to repay your savior?!" After Lu Jingyang reacted, he stepped forward angrily.

"Stop!" A cold scolding sound came from beside them.

Jiang Mengyue was taken aback for a moment, and when she turned her head, she saw Ming Xi had come to them at some point.

Lu Jingyang frowned, but seeing Du Ruize was the only one beside her, he straightened his back indifferently, "What? I'm teaching my woman a lesson. You, an outsider, don't seem to be qualified to take care of you?"

"Mr. Lu, domestic violence is against the law. I have recorded your evil behavior just now, do you want me to call the police now?" Ming Xi raised her phone.

Du Ruize also sneered coldly, "You only bully women, are you still a man?!"

He deliberately raised the volume, and many people in the banquet hall would attract attention.

After a while, there was a burst of discussion around.

Although Lu Jingyang had a thick skin, he didn't dare to make too much noise here.

He stared at Ming Xi coldly, "You are cruel!"

Before leaving, he gave Jiang Mengyue a warning look.

It seems that this woman has begun to escape from his control, he must quickly find a way to fasten her tightly!

Ming Xi asked Du Ruize to disperse the people around him, but fortunately, those people also walked away cooperatively, avoiding embarrassing Jiang Mengyue even more.

She handed an ice pack in front of Jiang Mengyue, "Apply some ice to reduce the swelling."

Jiang Mengyue looked at her, and saw that her face was very calm, without complacency or sympathy.

Her heart trembled suddenly, and she was greatly touched, and her heart was filled with bitterness.

Reason told her to flee now, but Jiang Mengyue still couldn't help stretching out her hand to take the ice pack she handed over.

"Why did you help me?" Jiang Mengyue looked at her fixedly.

"Maybe I'm just helping myself." Ming Xi said truthfully, "Seeing you being bullied by him always makes me feel very sad. Maybe there are some maternal feelings between women."

Jiang Mengyue pulled her lips, "Really?"

She has seen a lot of despicable women, and the truth of the matter is not what Ming Xi said.

"What's your purpose?" After thinking about it, her expression became vigilant again, "You're acting so hard just to let go of my defenses against you and get what you want from me, right? "

Ming Xi frowned slightly.

Jiang Mengyue didn't wait for her to answer, and walked out without saying a word.

Watching her walk out of the banquet hall, Du Ruize said displeasedly: "Up to now, she still can't understand who is good and who is bad?"

Ming Xi rubbed her chin and muttered: "Maybe she's not targeting me, but everyone."

"Some people do become hostile to those around them after they've been betrayed."

After Du Ruize finished speaking, Ming Xi spotted the tall figure at the door out of the corner of his eye.

She smiled and walked quickly, "You are here."

"En." Shen Tinglu pampered her head lovingly.

"Thank you, distinguished guests, for coming to my little daughter's birthday party despite your busy schedule..." At this moment, a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic came down from the stairs.

A young girl in a dress was holding his arm, looking around with a smile on her face.

"This is Su Chongshan, the president of the Su Group, and the one next to him is his youngest daughter, Su Keying." Shen Tinglu introduced in her ear.

Ming Xi nodded lightly, and suddenly noticed a line of sight that had been falling on her.

When she turned her head, she saw Zhou Ziyi's gaze cast towards her without hesitation.

Shen Tinglu looked along, and happened to look at Zhou Ziyi with profound eyes.

He frowned slightly, "You know him?"

Ming Xi was about to turn around, but remembered that he had told her not to think about amnesia anymore, so she changed her mind and said: "Rui Ze and I came here today for the project of Lufeng Real Estate, and we had a brief talk with him just now. Let's cooperate."

Shen Tinglu said "um" lightly, but a pair of deep black eyes burst out with strong hostility.

He was also a man, he could sense that Zhou Ziyi looked at Mingxi with a different meaning in his eyes.

But the opponent hasn't attacked yet, so of course he won't act rashly.

Shen Tinglu hugged Mingxi even tighter in a possessive posture.

Su Keying stood in the middle of the crowd, accepting everyone's blessings.

The Su family has developed well in recent years, so Su Chongshan and Su Keying have also been treated like stars.

Su Keying made a wish before the birthday cake, and after blowing out the candles, she cut two pieces of cake herself.

She brought the cake to Ming Xi and Shen Tinglu, "Brother Tinglu, so this is your wife!"

Brother Tingli?

Ming Xi raised her eyebrows, and looked at them meaningfully.

Shen Tinglu's face was indifferent, "That's right."

He took the cake that Su Keying handed over, but put the cake aside and didn't rush to eat it.

Su Keying frowned, "What! You're not worried about me poisoning the cake, are you? Don't worry, although I've always wanted to marry you, I won't be so vicious as to attack your current wife."

Hearing this, Ming Xi had to look at her a few more times.

Su Keying is only in her early twenties, she looks juicy and has a sweet smile, she is undoubtedly the type that men like.

However, what she said just now is a bit interesting.

"Miss Su, you misunderstood him. Ting Li thought I was pregnant and wanted to help me control my diet. He didn't refuse your kindness on purpose. Because he has this attitude towards women except me."

As soon as Mingxi finished speaking, Shen Tinglu pinched her waist.

She blushed and realized what she had just said.

It seems that since their relationship stabilized, she also started to become lawless.

Su Keying stared at the big palm that the man placed on Mingxi's waist, and she clearly noticed their interaction just now.

The smile on her face suddenly froze, and all the mocking words were stuck in her throat.

"I remember that I haven't seen you for a long time. In fact, it will be more appropriate for you to call me Mr. Shen in the future." Seeing Su Chongshan walking towards them, Shen Tinglu said with a chuckle: "I was invited by you tonight. My honor. But now it's time for my wife to go back and rest, so I won't accompany you."

"Mr. Shen, go slowly." Su Chongshan personally sent them out.

Seeing the scene of Shen Tinglu carefully escorting Mingxi into the car, Su Keying's eyes burst out with jealousy.
