Chapter 816: The Shrew Of A n.o.ble
The people present couldn’t help but show a disgusted expression when they saw the shrew-like Madam Ye!
These n.o.bles thought that they had been taught good manners. When they saw Madam Ye disregard her own face for the sake of her son, they couldn’t help but feel embarra.s.sed for her.
“I’ve long heard that the first madam of the Devi family is a tigress. When I saw her today, it was indeed true!”
“Exactly! But did you see? Young Master Fiennes actually helped that Su person!”
“How rare! I thought Young Master Fiennes would be happy to see a joke for his own sister!”
The people around her were talking about her, but Su Wan had no time to care about them.
She looked at Fiennes in a daze. She did not expect that the person who stood up for her was actually this man.
Fiennes was wearing a low-key but luxurious custom-made suit. His Windsor bow tie was meticulously tied, and his silhouette was handsome yet dignified.
As if sensing Su Wan’s gaze, Fiennes’ azure eyes flashed, and the corners of his slightly raised mouth revealed a little mischievousness.
Su Wan felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She had always felt that she was not very close to Fiennes, and she could not even be called a friend.
However, at least Fiennes had helped her out of her predicament. Otherwise, that slap would have landed on her face.
In this regard, Su Wan was very grateful.
“Thank you.”
Fiennes revealed an impeccable smile on his face. He was very polite.
“It’s alright. It was nothing!”
Seeing how Su Wan and Fiennes were so polite, Madam Ye felt even angrier. Her stomach was filled with rage!
She glared at Su Wan and said angrily to Fiennes.
“Young master Fiennes, let go of my hand! How dare you defend this vixen? Have you been charmed by her too?!”
As she spoke, Madam Ye’s eyes were so wide that they were about to pop out. Her face, which was still quite charming, was now full of blue veins. Her eyes were filled with all kinds of malicious emotions.
“Madam Ye,” Fiennes glanced at Madam Ye indifferently, his voice gentle.
“Madam Ye, don’t forget that today is the day to welcome the high priest. By causing trouble like this, you can be considered to have disturbed the normal order of the banquet, right?”
“If I din’t stop you, won’t it be even more embarra.s.sing if you’re dragged out by the guards later?”
Madam Ye did not expect Fiennes to be so glib with his words. He even implied that he wanted her to appreciate his kindness!
Ptui!
When Madam Ye thought of her son who was still sick and half-crippled in the hospital, she had nowhere to vent the anger in her heart.
However, when she saw Fiennes’ dignified face, Madam Ye suddenly remembered her ident.i.ty and Fiennes’ reminder.
Her furious face suddenly turned red and white.
When Fiennes saw that Madam Ye had regained consciousness, the corner of his lips twitched slightly. He began to try to smooth things over for Su Wan and Madam Ye.
“Since Madam Ye has thought it through, why don’t we just pretend that nothing happened today?”
Fiennes spoke slowly, but his tone was inexplicably soothing.
When Madam Ye heard Fiennes’ indifferent words, she frowned. She glanced at Su Wan, who was safe and sound and did not even have a few messy strands of hair, and suddenly felt a wave of unhappiness in her heart!
This vixen was right in front of her. How could she pretend that nothing had happened?!
Madam Ye’s slightly plump body trembled violently. Her emotions were fluctuating intensely.
Just as Madam Ye was feeling conflicted, she suddenly heard a sweet and resentful cry.
“Brother, why are you here?!”
Su Wan heard the familiar female voice and subconsciously frowned.
She looked towards the direction of the voice and saw that Diya was running towards them with her dress in hand. Her red dress was as fierce as a flower and was extremely ostentatious.
Her amber-colored eyes were looking at her unceremoniously.
They were filled with hostility.
Diya obviously knew Madam Ye. She glanced at the three people present and spoke indignantly.
“Brother, from the looks of it, you’re not pleading for mercy for Su Wan, are you?!”
Madam Ye saw Diya’s strange expression and immediately understood that Diya was on the same side as her.
As the saying goes, an enemy of an enemy is a friend!
Although Madam Ye usually did not like Diya’s spoiled and arrogant style, she felt that this young lady was particularly pleasing to the eye today!
She was much better than her brother, Fiennes!
Madam Ye immediately stood together with Diya and even glared at Su Wan.
Fiennes could not help but feel a little helpless in his heart. It was not easy for him to calm Madam Ye down. What was this sister of his doing?
However, Fiennes also knew that because of the emperor, his sister and Su Wan could not get along.
“Diya, don’t make a scene.”
Diya rolled her eyes and revealed an aggrieved expression.
“Madam Ye, you see, some people are good at bewitching people’s hearts. I know that you’re feeling bad now. Let me help you sit down for a while.”
Madam Ye was suddenly overwhelmed by the favor. At this moment, she had a feeling of mutual appreciation with Diya.
Fiennes did not expect that Diya did not do anything. Generally speaking, his younger sister’s personality was one that wanted the world to be in chaos.
Just as Fiennes was surprised, he suddenly heard Diya exclaim in surprise.
Su Wan frowned. She did not understand what this heiress was up to.
She followed the gaze of Diya and Madam Ye and suddenly realized that something was wrong!
She saw a small string of ta.s.sels drooping under her seat cus.h.i.+on.
It looked like a piece of jewelry that was hidden there had accidentally revealed a corner!
Madam Ye stretched out her well-maintained hand and instantly pulled out the string of jewelry that was more than half pressed under the seat cus.h.i.+on!
It turned out to be a string of ruby earrings. It was carved with an extremely exquisite pattern. It was gorgeous but also a little delicate. A few strands of ta.s.sels drooping down were exceptionally unique.
Why was this jewelry under Su Wan’s seat cus.h.i.+on?!
Was someone framing her?!
Su Wan’s mind skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
However, before she could clear her mind, Madam Ye’s scream was immediately followed!
“My ruby pendant! I specially brought it here today to give it to someone. I thought it was gone. Why is it here?!”
Madam Ye was clearly blinded by anger. She had even forgotten who the guests were.
Diya, who was at the side, curled her lips and immediately reached out to push Madam Ye. She reminded her gently.
“Madam Ye, who is sitting in this seat?!”
Although the pitch of this sentence was not high, it was earth-shattering when it fell into the ears of everyone.
In an instant, everyone’s eyes turned to look at Su Wan.
Madam Ye was instantly awakened!
“It’s you! As expected of a b.i.t.c.h who hasn’t seen the world! Not only did you harm my son, you even stole my jewelry!”
As she said this, Madam Ye clenched her teeth and raised a gla.s.s of wine, throwing it directly at Su Wan!
