Chapter 267: Unceremonious Humiliation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Whether in her previous life or in this life, she hated mistresses more than anything.
Especially Lin Peiqi, who was a mistress yet was acting even more haughty than a wife.
Since they didn’t know each other, Lin Peiqi should have minded her own business. Even if she was envious and resentful, if she hadn’t provoked Yun Xi, Yun Xi would never have attacked her.
But since Lin Peiqi had gone out of her way to make trouble, then too bad for her. Yun Xi never showed mercy once she got down to business.
She was already fuming with rage because of Han Yaotian. Now, Lin Peiqi was digging her own grave by calling her a thief and a b*itch. If she didn’t strike back, all the practice she’d received from fighting with her mother would have been in vain.
Upon the mention of the eldest heir, the other women looked at Lin Peiqi with apprehension.
They’d wanted to kiss up to Lin Peiqi, but they weren’t stupid enough to risk offending the eldest son.
No one dared to step forward, and some even stepped back.
Lin Peiqi shot them a furious glare, and her face became completely distorted with anger as she stood, glaring at Yun Xi with fiery eyes.
From where he was standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, Mu Feichi had noticed what was going on in the corner early on. His eyes looked gloomy, and his attention wasn’t on the banquet.
Despite holding a gla.s.s of red wine in his hand, he didn’t drink any.
Huo Tingxiao, who was standing beside him, saw that he seemed displeased, and he followed his gaze.
He wasn’t surprised to see the young girl who had dazzled the crowd as soon as she had appeared.
He had seen her coming upstairs with Mu Feichi. And it was evident that there was probably no one else but Young Marshal Mu who would bring out such a little fox.
He had heard that Mu Feichi had made the Han family suffer because of a woman and had asked Li Zilan to personally train the same woman. However, he hadn’t expected her to be such a young girl.
She seemed to have mingled with Chen Yichen when she had first come in. It was no wonder Young Marshal Mu’s face appeared so displeased.
Huo Tingxiao glanced at the drama unfolding on the other side of the room by the sofa, as his sharp dark eyes narrowed and his slender hands played with the wine gla.s.s in his hand.
The red wine swirled around the wall of the gla.s.s, and he smiled. “You, my little fox, are truly fascinating.”
Jiang Chenghuan was standing on the other side of Mu Feichi and had originally been paying attention to the venue. Upon hearing Huo Tingxiao’s words, he immediately turned his head and looked at the corner where Huo Tingxiao was looking.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Lin Peiqi lunging toward the young girl on the sofa holding a gla.s.s of red wine—
Just as Lin Peiqi pounced, Yun Xi kicked out her leg, raised her hand, and grabbed Lin Peiqi’s right arm. Then she quickly moved her to sit on the empty seat beside her.
Because her movements were so forceful, Lin Peiqi couldn’t stop herself, and she b.u.mped down and into the back of the sofa.
Lin Peiqi was lying backwards on the sofa in an embarra.s.sing position, and the red wine that had been in her hand had splashed all over the wall and onto her face.
Her teeth hit the arm of the sofa, and the pain from her arm and her teeth distorted her face as she grimaced in pain.
As she struggled to stand up, Yun Xi kicked her again effortlessly, and she fell back on the sofa.
Lin Peiqi grabbed her wine gla.s.s and tried to thrust the remaining wine at Yun Xi.
Yun Xi quickly stretched out her hand in a fist and hit the acupuncture point on Lin Peiqi’s arm.
Lin Peiqi’s arm went numb and her hand loosened, and Yun Xi was able to take her wine gla.s.s.
“You…what did you do to me?”
She was lying back on the sofa, her hands unable to exert any strength. Lin Peiqi looked fl.u.s.tered.
With a face soaked with red wine and smeared makeup, her expression looked a little unsightly.
Yun Xi glanced at her and then played with the tall wine gla.s.s in her hand.
She rested the wine gla.s.s on Lin Peiqi’s pointy chin and snorted, “You could even poke a hole in the sofa with your chin. It can literally be used as a weapon.”
Lin Peiqi’s eyes got red with rage. She grit her teeth and yelled hysterically, “You’re dead, b*tch, I won’t let you off the hook for this.”
“What can you do to me now?” Yun Xi turned sideways, twisting the gla.s.s between her fingers. Then she slammed the gla.s.s down on Lin Peiqi’s chest.
Yun Xi tugged at the corners of her mouth mockingly.
