"Will you believe me if I say it's all a lie?"
Lin Qianyi stood there calmly with her brows raised.
Jiang Yijie frowned even deeper upon seeing her nonchalant attitude.
"Qianyi, is this because you still have feelings for Ah Jie?"
Noticing the bizarre tension between the two, Xia Baizhi cut in while looking at Lin Qianyi.
Without waiting for her to reply, she continued, "But Ah Jie already made it very clear to you. He only treats you like a little sister and has no other intentions. Please don't continue to misunderstand."
It must be said that Xia Baizhi was very shrewd.
Her words clearly showed that Lin Qianyi was the one clinging onto Jiang Yijie and that she had purposely come to disrupt their engagement party because she was still in love with him.
In addition, it painted Lin Qianyi as the third party secretly in love with Jiang Yijie.
"Cousin, why are you still so polite to her? The best way to deal with someone like her is to teach her a good lesson! Then, we'll see if she still dares to pester Yijie so shamelessly!"
Zhang Xuezhen exclaimed loudly when she heard Xia Baizhi's polite manner. She acted as if she was trying to stand up for Xia Baizhi.
"Oh? Shameless?"
Right in front of everyone, Lin Qianyi calmly took a bite of the food on her plate and looked at Xia Baizhi placidly.
"She seems to be talking about you. After all… Jiang Yijie is a piece of trash that I no longer want. Not only did you snatch my unwanted garbage, but you have also turned around to say that I'm pining after him."
Lin Qianyi smiled as she spoke, but her words were beyond venomous!
Calling the groom-to-be a piece of trash right in front of everyone at the engagement party? She was really burning bridges this time.
Jiang Yijie's and Xia Baizhi's faces instantly changed upon hearing that.
"Stupid girl, how dare you make such a scene at my daughter's engagement party? Did your mother not teach you any manners?!"
Mother Xia, who had been keeping silent by the side all along, couldn't help speaking out now. Casting aside all decorum, she lambasted Lin Qianyi.
Lin Qianyi's face turned grim, and she fixed her cold, bright eyes upon her.
"My mother taught me to keep good hygiene. Don't go picking up discarded trash in case of germs. So as a mother yourself, you should teach your own daughter about that."
Lin Qianyi rebutted coldly. She wasn't at all bothered by Mother Xia's harsh glare.
"You!"
Mother Xia's face turned pallid with anger. She never expected Lin Qianyi to say such audacious things to her in front of everyone.
"Alright, remember your own status. Our guests today are all high-ranking people in City A. Don't make yourself a laughingstock."
Father Xia spoke up in a low voice to stop Mother Xia just as she was about to open her mouth to retort.
Mother Xia was reluctant, but faced with Father Xia's warning stare, she had no choice but to swallow her anger.
After stopping her, Father Xia glared sternly at Lin Qianyi.
"Qianyi, show some respect for your uncle. Stop this nonsense. Baizhi is your cousin, after all."
Father Xia reprimanded her, not giving her any chance to explain.
"Ha, I don't dare to assume this position. Mr. Xia is the high and mighty CEO of the Xia Corporation. How can you be my uncle?"
Lin Qianyi responded with a cold smile.
"Moreover, your daughter was the one who gave me the invitation, to let me personally witness her happy union. Why is she turning around to say I came uninvited? She's even accusing me of trying to snatch away my unwanted trash?"
