"Help me out? I don't need your assistance at all. Have you forgotten your own status? Are you trying to cause a scene at Xiyun's engagement banquet?" the Bride's Mother said.
"Good intentions turned to waste. I was going to teach this Miss Zhao a lesson, but it seems unnecessary now," Jiang Chen replied, his interest waning.
The middle-aged woman sighed softly and fell silent.
However, Zhao Xinrong frowned, finding Jiang Chen's words quite arrogant. "I think you're not unwilling to teach me a lesson, but rather too scared to do so. Don't you like Lin Rumei? I could easily invite her over. If I say you disrespected her, you'll definitely be in trouble. Of course, I'm a soft-hearted person; if you kneel and beg me now, I might let you off the hook," Zhao Xinrong sneered.
"You don't need to invite her; she'll come looking for me on her own," Jiang Chen replied with a faint smile.
Zhao Xinrong's smile froze on her face as confusion washed over her. She never would have imagined that Jiang Chen knew Lin Rumei. After all, one was a socialite from Hong Kong Island, while the other was an ordinary person from the mainland with no intersection between them. Moreover, Lin Rumei was proud and had little regard for many wealthy young men from Hong Kong Island, let alone someone as lowly as Jiang Chen.
As soon as Lin Rumei entered, her gaze began scanning the room until she quickly spotted Jiang Chen.
"Mr. Jiang is over there; let's go greet him," Lin Rumei said, leading her father toward Jiang Chen and Ding Yan.
Seeing that Lin Rumei was indeed approaching, Zhao Xinrong was taken aback, and even the Bride's Mother and others looked surprised.
When Lin Rumei and her party reached Jiang Chen, their demeanor was respectful, akin to ministers greeting an emperor, leaving Zhao Xinrong dumbfounded.
"Miss Lin, do you know him? Who is he?" Zhao Xinrong asked incredulously.
Lin Rumei glanced at Zhao Xinrong, then back at Jiang Chen. Instead of answering Zhao Xinrong, she cautiously asked Jiang Chen, "Are you friends with Miss Zhao?"
"This Miss Zhao just disrespected me. I initially thought of having you teach her a lesson, but now it seems unnecessary," Jiang Chen replied.
Upon hearing this, Lin Rumei's expression turned cold. She looked at Zhao Xinrong and said flatly, "Miss Zhao, you're quite lucky today; Mr. Jiang is choosing not to hold it against you. You should leave quickly and not obstruct his view any longer."
"Lin Rumei, what do you mean? Even if you know this guy, so what? Are you really going to help him teach me a lesson? Our position in the Zhao Family is no less than yours in the Lin Family. It won't benefit you to oppose me for the sake of some mainland nobody," Zhao Xinrong, initially shocked, became enraged upon realizing how fiercely Lin Rumei defended Jiang Chen.
"Don't be unappreciative," Lin Rumei frowned. Although she had no personal grievances with Zhao Xinrong, provoking someone like Jiang Chen was akin to courting death. Even if he chose not to retaliate today, it wouldn't mean he would always be merciful.
"Zhao Xinrong, shut up," Lin Rumei said sternly as she slapped Zhao Xinrong. In reality, she was trying to save her; if this continued, it would surely lead to disaster for Zhao Xinrong. After all, Jiang Chen was not someone who showed mercy; he could kill without blinking an eye.
