Chapter 803: 206: Bullied Zheng Xianjing, ugly behavior
Zheng Xianjing spoke with extreme confidence.
She knew that Mr. Du was there for her.
With so many people at today’s birthday banquet, who else could share such glory?
Yet, she wanted to be the most unique among them—she intended to refuse Mr. Du and make him fall for her exclusiveness!
Zheng Xianjing’s words indeed surprised everyone in the Banquet Hall!
My God!
No one expected that Zheng Xianjing would actually refuse Mr. Du.
Zheng Xianjing enjoyed the stunned looks from everyone, stood up straight, and confidently faced Mr. Du.
Just then, Wang Ziqi, dressed in a suit, stepped forward, "Excuse me! Miss Zheng, Mr. Du isn’t here for you. Is Miss Ni Yanyang here?"
What?
Zheng Xianjing doubted she was hearing things.
She was the one who had saved Mr. Du’s life. What did Mr. Du want with Ni Yang?
Expressions of surprise showed on the faces of others as well.
It seemed Zheng Xianjing was just being delusional.
This was going to be an interesting scene.
A VIP arrived at the Banquet Hall, and Mr. Zheng, the host, couldn’t neglect his duties, he immediately approached, "Is this Mr. Du? I am Yangyang’s grandfather. May I ask what brings the two of you here for my granddaughter?"
Wang Ziqi bowed slightly, "Mr. Zheng, this is Mr. Du. We have specifically come to celebrate Miss Ni Yang’s birthday."
They came for Ni Yang’s birthday!
They had come to celebrate Ni Yang’s birthday?
Zheng Xianjing’s face turned pale instantaneously.
Mr. Zheng was also bewildered; wasn’t Zheng Xianjing supposed to be Mr. Du’s lifesaver? Why was Mr. Du here to celebrate Ni Yang’s birthday instead?
Wang Ziqi continued to explain, "Here’s what happened. A few months ago, Miss Ni Yang once saved Mr. Du. However, at that time, Mr. Du was not aware of Miss Ni’s real identity. Coincidentally, your family has two granddaughters of similar age, and Miss Zheng Xianjing concealed the truth. So, we took a big detour and misidentified the lifesaver. In reality, it was Miss Ni Yang who actually saved Mr. Du."
As soon as he spoke.
The place went silent immediately.
Zheng Xianjing felt her blood run cold, her face turning even paler than paper.
Why?
Why did it turn out like this?
She was the one who had saved Mr. Du!
How could it be Ni Yang?
The glares from the crowd felt like knives, one after the other slicing through her.
Wang Ziqi’s words were tactfully spoken, implying that Zheng Xianjing was essentially a fraud.
"So she’s just a fraud! A fraud dares to play hard-to-get with Mr. Du? She thought Mr. Du would fancy her?"
"Delusional!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, to dare impersonate Mr. Du’s lifesaver, that’s simply shameless!"
Someone in the crowd uttered these words.
Embarrassment, humiliation, and awkwardness...all these emotions intertwined, and Zheng Xianjing could hardly stand still as cold sweat formed layers on her back.
She wished she could just disappear into a crack in the floor.
She felt like a complete clown—subject to everyone’s criticism and ridicule!
This also put Mr. Zheng in an awkward position.
After all, Zheng Xianjing was his granddaughter, and he was profoundly disappointed in her!
How could she do such a thing?
Zheng Lingling had not expected the situation to take such a turn. She was enjoying the praises of everyone just a second ago, only for things to change abruptly.
Zheng Lingling quickly steadied herself, walked over, and managed a faint smile, "Mr. Du, there must be some mistake. Our Xianjing truly is your lifesaver! Ni Yang is just a country girl, how could she possibly save you?"
Hearing this, Zheng Xianjing clung to Zheng Lingling’s sleeve like grasping at the last straw.
Yes!
Ni Yang was just an uncouth country girl; she couldn’t steal her credit.
It was she who was Mr. Du’s true savior!
It was her!
At that moment, Mr. Du finally spoke, "I wondered why Miss Zheng Xianjing would shamelessly claim this favor; it turns out she has such a great role model in her mother."
With that, Mr. Du turned to Mr. Zheng, "Mr. Zheng, you really need to sort out your family manners."
Who was Mr. Du?
Would he sit idly by while this mother and daughter insulted his lifesaver?
He was a man of high position, whose presence alone exuded a compelling aura. Immediately, Zheng Lingling found herself speechless, her face turning from red to purple, overcome with shame!
