Gu Tong left the banquet hall without hesitation.
A farce that should never have happened finally came to an end.
However...
On the other side of the venue.
...
'Smack--'
Gong Qingwan's slap caught Chu Xiran off guard, landing harshly on her face, leaving visible handprints.
Chu Xiran stood firm, taking the slap, her eyes full of grievance, saying, "Aunt, why..."
Gong Qingwan's body trembled slightly, unable to contain her anger, she said, "Who told you to deal with her! Who allowed you to act on your own! Who gave you the right! Fool!"
Chu Xiran did well by using Chu Qiao'er to create chaos, causing public outrage.
It should have been undetectable, and no one would have thought it was the plot of a mastermind.
But...
It was still discovered...
Chu Xiran, bearing the handprint, dared not speak loudly, said, "Aunt, it was all Chu Qiao'er's doing, not me, I didn't act on my own, I didn't..."
She was crying with tears, looking very aggrieved.
