"Help me out? I don't need your help at all. Have you even considered your own status? Are you trying to cause a scene at Li Xiyun's engagement party?" the Bride's Mother said.
"Good intentions wasted on a fool. I was going to teach this Miss Zhao a lesson, but now it's unnecessary," Jiang Chen replied, his interest waning.
The middle-aged woman sighed slightly and fell silent.
However, Zhao Xinrong furrowed her brows; Jiang Chen's words were quite arrogant. "I see you're not unwilling to teach me a lesson, but rather afraid. Don't you like Lin Rumei? I could invite her over right now. 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," Zhao Xinrong sneered.
"You don't need to invite her over; she'll come looking for me on her own," Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.
Zhao Xinrong's smile froze on her face, confusion washing over her. She never would have thought that Jiang Chen actually knew Lin Rumei. After all, one was a socialite from Hong Kong Island and the other an ordinary person from the mainland—there was no intersection between them. Moreover, Lin Rumei had a proud personality; many wealthy young men from Hong Kong Island couldn't catch her eye, let alone someone as lowly as Jiang Chen.
As soon as Lin Rumei entered, her gaze began searching the room until she quickly spotted Jiang Chen.
"Mr. Jiang is over there; let's go meet him," Lin Rumei said, then walked toward Jiang Chen and Ding Yan with her father.
Seeing Lin Rumei genuinely approaching them, Zhao Xinrong was taken aback, and even the Bride's Mother and others were surprised.
When Lin Rumei and her companions reached Jiang Chen, their attitude was respectful, as if they were ministers meeting the emperor, leaving Zhao Xinrong dumbfounded.
"Miss Lin, do you know him? Who is he?" Zhao Xinrong asked incredulously.
Lin Rumei glanced at Zhao Xinrong and then at Jiang Chen. Instead of answering Zhao Xinrong's question, she cautiously asked Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, are you friends with Miss Zhao?"
"This Miss Zhao just disrespected me; I originally wanted you to teach her a lesson, but never mind," Jiang Chen replied.
Upon hearing his words, Lin Rumei's expression turned cold. She looked at Zhao Xinrong and said flatly, "Miss Zhao, you're really lucky today. Mr. Jiang is choosing not to hold it against you. You should hurry up and leave; don’t obstruct Mr. Jiang’s 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 Zhao Family's status is not inferior to your Lin Family's. It won't benefit you to go against me for someone from the mainland," Zhao Xinrong said angrily after recovering from her shock at Lin Rumei’s defense of Jiang Chen.
"Don't be unappreciative," Lin Rumei frowned. Although she had no grievances with Zhao Xinrong in the past, why did Zhao Xinrong have to provoke Jiang Chen? That was just asking for trouble. Even if Jiang Chen chose not to retaliate this time, it didn't mean he wouldn't in the future.
"Zhao Xinrong, shut your mouth," Lin Rumei said with a darkened expression as she slapped Zhao Xinrong across the face. In truth, she was saving Zhao Xinrong; if this continued, it would surely lead to disaster. Jiang Chen was not someone who showed mercy—he could kill without blinking an eye.
