Wang Qiling approached me without saying a word and said, "Miss Dong, you shouldn't be here at today's family banquet, right?"
I glanced at her.
"Are you implying that as an outsider, I shouldn't attend the family banquet while you can?"
"Of course!" Wang Qiling smiled smugly. "I'm about to marry Chengji, so I'll soon be part of the Li Family and naturally qualify to attend the family banquet. And you? Your fiancé doesn't want you anymore; what are you still doing here?"
So she's a lunatic.
I didn't want to get entangled with her and stood up to leave.
But Wang Qiling suddenly lunged at me, grabbing my skirt.
"Ah—"
She let out a small cry and fell to the ground.
Wang Qiling looked up at me, glaring: "Miss Dong, I was just telling you that you should leave the Li Family. Why are you targeting me like this?"
What is this nonsense?
I stared at her for a few seconds before suddenly realizing.
Is she trying to frame me?
I looked down at my skirt that she was holding onto and couldn't help but sneer.
This tactic is really low-level.
"Miss Wang, I advise you to get up quickly; otherwise, I might really suspect you're trying to pull a scam."
"You... how can you say that about me?" Wang Qiling's tears fell instantly, looking extremely aggrieved. "You clearly tripped me..."
In my life, this was the first time I had seen someone perform such a green tea act in front of me.
I must say, it was quite refreshing.
"Lingling!" Li Chengji suddenly appeared from nowhere, looking anxious as he helped Wang Qiling up, then glared at me. "Dong Ling, are you here to cause trouble today?"
"I'm telling you, Lingling is my guest. If you dare to touch her, don't blame me for being rude!"
I moved my lips, about to speak when suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my tailbone.
"Hiss—"
I took a sharp breath.
"Chengji, don't blame Miss Dong. I'm sure she didn't mean it," Wang Qiling quickly defended me, but her eyes were filled with smugness. "Maybe Miss Dong just can't stand us being together, so..."
"Lingling, you're just too kind!" Li Chengji said, holding her tightly with concern, then shot me a fierce glare. "Dong Ling, apologize to Lingling!"
I took a deep breath, suppressing the pain, and smirked sarcastically. "Li Chengji, have you forgotten that I am your fiancée? You humiliate your fiancée in public for an outsider; do you think that's appropriate?"
"You..." Li Chengji was taken aback by my words but refused to back down. "You are no longer my fiancée! I warn you, Dong Ling, don't think that my dad and your parents saying the engagement is valid means anything. I haven't agreed to it yet!"
"I never intended to marry you," I replied coldly.
"Then what are you here for?" Li Chengji looked at me with disgust. "Dong Ling, are you shameless? I've never seen a woman so thick-skinned!"
"Chengji..." Wang Qiling weakly tugged at his sleeve. "Don't say that about Miss Dong..."
"Lingling, you're just too kind!" Li Chengji praised her again.
I glanced at Wang Qiling and then at Li Chengji.
One is a tea drinker, the other is foolish; they truly are a perfect match.
I didn't want to waste another word with them.
But just as I took two steps, a sharp pain shot through my tailbone again.
I felt like I was about to crack open.
Could it be a fracture?
"What's wrong?"
A cold voice came from behind me.
Li Xingyu walked over and saw me sweating in pain; he immediately frowned.
"Uncle Wang, call a doctor!"
After saying that, he shot a glance at Li Chengji and Wang Qiling.
"And call the police while you're at it."
"Yes, sir!"
"Dad..." Li Chengji didn't expect Li Xingyu to call the police and panicked instantly. "It's just a small matter; there's no need to involve the police!"
"Shut up!" Li Xingyu said coldly, "Uncultured thing, stay here and don't go anywhere!"
After saying that, Li Xingyu picked me up horizontally and returned to the old house.
