Chu Lichuan suddenly tightened his grip on Shao Furong's shoulders. His eyes were like knives, piercing Shao Furong's heart. She was so frightened that her crying stopped suddenly, leaving only teardrops hanging precariously on her eyelashes.
"Shao Furong, you have forgotten what I warned you, right? Do you need me to remind you again?" Chu Lichuan's voice was as cold as ice.
Shao Furong gasped, taking big gulps, as if only air was coming in and not coming out, and a weak sound of mosquitoes and flies came out of her throat.
"I know, I know!"
Just when Shao Furong was about to apologize to En Ning, En Ning spoke.
"no need!"
En Ning glanced at Shao Furong and Chu Lichuan indifferently, and strode out.
Chu Lichuan was about to catch up, but Shao Furong grabbed him, "I wanted to apologize, but she didn't accept it! You can't blame me!"
"Cousin, cousin! I was wrong, I apologize! Don't be angry!"
Shao Furong didn't want to give Chu Lichuan a chance to chase him out, so she cried.
"Cousin, I'm so cold, please take me home! I feel like I'm sick!"
Qiao Yuan and Qiao Chenxi were both smart people. They had already noticed that something was wrong. Their eyes lingered on Chu Lichuan and En Ning who were walking away, and finally they looked at Qiao Chenguang.
However, Qiao Chenguang had already chased him out.
"En Ning, I'll take you back."
"No need!" Enning refused.
Ye Wanqing also chased her out and said apologetically, "Miss Chi, I'll clean your dress and send it back to you! What happened today is because I didn't treat you well."
"Miss Ye, you don't need to apologize, you did a good job! No one wants this to happen! I have something wrong too!"
Enning did feel that what he did was inappropriate, but he did not feel that he was wrong.
Others were willing to bow their heads in the face of power and compromise, but she didn't.
Qiao Chenguang insisted on seeing En Ning off, so Chu Lichuan and Shao Furong also came out of the inner house.
Enning didn't want to talk to Chu Lichuan. He saw Jiangnan from a distance and walked over quickly.
"Mr. Jiang, would you like to give me a ride?"
"Of course you're on your way!"
Jiang Nan didn't drink tonight. He opened the car door with a smile and glanced at Chu Lichuan, who was standing in the light and shadow not far away.
En Ning got in the car, Jiang Nan closed the door, got into the driver's seat, started the car and left.
Shao Furong held Chu Lichuan's arm tightly, not giving Chu Lichuan a chance to catch up.
"Cousin! I'm not feeling well."
Seeing that Chi Enning was gone, An Ran walked out of the shadows and said with a smile, "Li Chuan, go home tonight, Yangyang misses you!"
Chu Lichuan said nothing, retracted his gaze from the direction En Ning left, and walked towards his car.
Qiao Yuan and Qiao Chenxi followed respectfully and kept apologizing.
Chu Lichuan let Shao Furong get into the car first, closed the door, turned around and said to Qiao Yuan and Qiao Chenxi.
"What happened tonight is Fu Rong's fault! I deeply apologize for the discomfort it has caused to the Qiao family."
Qiao Yuan didn't expect that Chu Lichuan would apologize to him, and he apologized more diligently.
But Chu Lichuan made it clear that it was Shao Furong's fault. The meaning was obvious and it had nothing to do with Chi Enning.
The suspicion in Qiao Yuan's heart became clearer, and he hurriedly said, "Miss Chi is also a victim. I will come to apologize in person tomorrow! I shouldn't have forced Miss Chi to apologize before I found out the truth."
"There's no need to come and apologize!" Chu Lichuan's eyes wandered far away, looking in the direction of the garden where the banquet was held.
Many guests gathered together and looked over, wanting to see the excitement.
Everyone knows Shao Furong's identity. No matter how arrogant and lawless Shao Furong was outside these years, she was pampered and protected by the two giants of the Shao family and the Chu family.
Everyone wanted to know how Chu Lichuan would deal with the niece of the Bai family, and they were also worried about the girl, fearing that the girl would end badly.
But everyone waited for a long time. It was calm on the other side of the main house, and they also saw the niece of the Bai family getting into Jiangnan's car.
It seems that he didn't suffer much.
Just passed it off like this?
impossible!
There were also those who were jealous of Enning's beauty and made sarcastic remarks.
"The niece of the Bai family, who has a small family, dares to offend Shao Furong, isn't she looking for death?"
"You deserve it! How dare you make trouble on such an occasion!"
Suddenly, a discordant voice broke in, "I heard that the niece of the Bai family was once arrested for selling and was expelled from Imperial University! It is said that she got pregnant out of wedlock and now has a daughter!"
"I think she has an unusual relationship with Jiang Nan, and she even flirts with Qiao Chenguang, the second young master of the Qiao family!"
"All the rich and nobles are coming to this banquet. They are not here to catch Kaizi, are they?"
"Oh my god, she is such a person! She looks pure and clean, but her character is so bad!"
The few daughters who talked about En Ning's past were all good friends of An Ran. Naturally, An Ran asked them to spread the news.
After a while, rumors spread throughout the aristocratic circle that Chi Enning came to the banquet to seduce men because of her beauty.
At first, they saw that En Ning was good-looking and was brought here by Principal Bai himself. She also behaved in an elegant manner, so they had a good impression of her.
When I heard that he had a bad character and a messy private life, he was a vixen who seduced men. The ladies kept a close eye on their husbands, and the wealthy ladies kept an eye on the young men they had found. They all felt like they were facing a formidable enemy and had no good impression of En Ning at all. .
Chu Lichuan could tell what those people were thinking with just one look.
He said to Qiao Yuan, "Mr. Bai is highly respected, and Principal Bai is also a famous teacher. He talks too much and tarnishes the noble reputation of the Bai family. Doesn't it make people criticize the Qiao family for colluding with them? It chills the hearts of those teachers and students who respect the Bai family and have been taught by the Bai family. ?”
Qiao Yuan has been in the business world for decades and has a cunning mind. He immediately heard that Chu Lichuan was not protecting the Bai family, but the girl named Chi Enning.
He didn't want to let rumors ruin that girl's reputation.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chu, I will explain clearly to everyone that this matter is not Miss Chi's fault!"
Seeing Qiao Yuan's promise, Chu Lichuan opened the door and got in the car.
Shao Furong sat in the car and heard their conversation clearly. She pouted angrily, "Cousin, you just protected her like that! She was the one who pushed me..."
"Fu Rong, I was at the scene and could clearly see what was going on!"
Chu Lichuan was only a little far away at that time and did not have time to catch En Ning, but he really saw the scene when Shao Furong pushed En Ning and fell into the water.
"Even if I didn't see the truth, I still believe that she wouldn't push you into the water for no reason!"
"Cousin, you would rather believe outsiders than me!"
"She is not an outsider, she is my wife!"
"Sister An Ran is your wife!"
"She's not." Chu Lichuan's tone became colder. Shao Furong didn't dare to jump on the minefield and her voice weakened.
"A woman like her has a bad character and hooks up with men everywhere. Cousin, what is your identity? What is your personality? How can you tolerate such a woman?"
Chu Lichuan looked sideways at Shao Furong.
Although he was angry with Shao Furong for always targeting En Ning, he owed Shao Furong too much and did not want Shao Furong and En Ning to become incompatible.
His tone softened, "Fu Rong, who told you that En Ning has a bad character and hooks up with men everywhere? And who told you that En Ning and Gu Yan don't know each other? Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but people outside said so."
"Since I didn't see it with my own eyes, can't it be a rumor? Maybe someone deliberately framed her."
"Who would frame her! Even if someone framed her, it would be because of her bad character!"
"An Ran." Chu Lichuan said the name directly, "She and En Ning are enemies now! What she said may not be true. Don't be used as a weapon."
