Lu Qingyun ignored the imaginary sparks flying between the two women as he walked off.

"Mr Lu, you're welcome to come keep me any time!" Shi Sheng calmly shouted this at Lu Qingyun.

Lu Qingyun's footsteps paused for half a second before continuing on like usual and disappearing from their sights.

With Lu Qingyun gone, Tang Yan finally spoke freely, "Are you eyeing big brother Qingyun's money? I'm telling you, big brother Qingyun will never like you. With your background, you aren't even fit to carry his shoes!"

Without waiting for a reply, Tang Yan glared at Shi Sheng before running off to chase after Lu Qingyun. Shi Sheng rubbed her temples. 'I just knew getting close to a villain was going to be a demanding yet thankless task.'

Shi Sheng felt like she shouldn't have come out today. This feeling was reinforced when she came back from going to the restroom to find the private room she had been in surrounded by people who were making a lot of noise.

When she finally managed to squeeze in, she found the room in shambles as pieces of shattered porcelain lay scattered on the ground with their contents spilled out on the floor. Xia Man was sitting on the floor and clutching her head with a single hand. Blood trickled between her fingers and dripped onto the floor.

"Xiaoman, I'm really sorry. I didn't do it on purpose." Xia Xuan made to help Xia Man up, an apologetic expression on her face. "I didn't expect you to lose your balance. Xiaoman, you're bleeding. Let me take you to the hospital. Sorry, it's all my fault."

Xia Man's face was frosty as she smacked Xia Xuan's hand away. Her voice was low and raspy as she spoke, "Xia Xuan, if you're done acting you can get lost now."

"Hey, why is this person so rude? Just now I saw that it was her who was pushing the other lady but she lost her balance and fell. Now she's even blaming the person she was trying to push!"

"Isn't that Xia Xuan?"

"Who's Xia Xuan?"

"Heavens, I actually saw the national goddess! My goddess is so gentle. Who's that other woman? She even dares to treat my goddess this way."

The surrounding onlookers pointed at Xia Man. They were both excited to see their 'goddess' as well as angry on her behalf. Fortunately, those who came to eat here usually had some status so they wouldn't do anything extreme like actually hitting people.

"Xiaoman, it's my fault, okay? Don't be angry, please? Let's go to the hospital first, it won't be good to leave behind a scar." Xia Xuan put forth the image of a good big sister as she gazed in worry and bewilderment at Xia Man. Her expression was just right, as expected of someone just a step away from being a Queen of Acting.

Just as Shi Sheng was about to go over, Tang Yin emerged from the crowd and helped Xia Man up. He blocked off the lines of sight of the people in the crowd. His face was expressionless but his eyes were icy-cold. "Ms Xia, as a public figure, shouldn't you pay more attention to the surroundings? This place is private property, what is the meaning of you attracting the attentions of others?"

Tang Yin's words were not masked in the slightest. How would the people who could afford to eat here not be sharp? In that short amount of time, their thoughts had already gone through several possibilities.

Xia Xuan could clearly feel the gazes of the onlookers changing. Though she was hating inside her heart, she couldn't help but put forth a kind and gentle exterior. "This sir here... I am Xiaoman's big sister. All I want to do is to bring her to the hospital to have her injury treated. I don't have any other motives. After all, it's not good for a scar to be left on a girl's face."
