Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 258 - 271: She Is Not a Plaything

All the guests were watching them.

Su Xingqi had a victorious smile on her face.

At this moment, only Qin Zheng, standing among the Qin family relatives, suddenly realized something was wrong and shouted to stop it: "Xingyu, don’t!"

However, it was already too late.

Su Xingyu smiled just like an elf bathed in the autumn afternoon sunlight, purely and naturally raised her hand, and with a splash, the champagne was entirely poured onto Su Xingqi’s face!

"Ah!" Su Xingqi screamed, reflexively covering her face, "How dare you splash me!"

The guests present were in an uproar, and the parents of the Qin family couldn’t help but take two steps forward, their faces turning livid.

Qin Zheng, too, had a grim look on his face, it was too late, far too late...

The conflict was already unfolding, and he regretted not stopping this dispute when the waiter handed Su Xingyu a heavy glass cup, even if it meant swapping a high-stemmed cup in his hand with hers, perhaps that could have prevented the calamity from occurring. Everyone looked down on Su Xingyu, thinking she was a gold-digger aiming to be Lu Shifeng’s mistress, but Qin Zheng had known Su Xingyu from a young age and firmly believed she wasn’t that kind of woman. Moreover, Lu Shifeng wasn’t that kind of man either. He feared that their family might offend the future Mrs. Lu.

He took large strides toward the stage, wanting to prevent the conflict from escalating.

Meanwhile, Liu Meizhi from the Su family’s table had already screamed, "Grab her! Catch the bitch who dared to splash my daughter!"

The surrounding area erupted into chaos, with several security guards rushing onto the stage from all directions, going after Su Xingyu.

Su Xingyu stepped back smartly, but there were too many security guards, and eventually, one of them caught her by the shoulder.

She instinctively struggled but felt a sharp pain in her shoulder, almost dislocating a bone.

Her face turned pale, and she began to sweat coldly.

"Let me go!" she yelled bitterly at the security guard behind her.

"Let her go!" Qin Zheng also arrived nearby and reprimanded with a stern expression.

"Do not let go!" This time, it was Mrs. Qin who shouted, even though this noblewoman usually had excellent manners, she was thoroughly agitated by these repeated farces. She already disliked the Su sisters, let alone having a scene at such an important event that brought embarrassment to the Qin family! "Take Su Xingyu to the police station! Tell them she deliberately injured someone!"

Mrs. Qin was genuinely furious.

"Mom, calm down," Qin Zheng found his head spinning and persuaded, "It’s all a misunderstanding."

"What misunderstanding?" Mrs. Qin sneered coldly, getting so angry that she was feeling dizzy, "Su Xingyu, back when your mother passed, I even pitied you and let you live in our home. I didn’t expect you had plans to marry our Qin Mu! Now that it can’t happen, it’s a matter of your fate, but you shouldn’t be disrupting Qin Mu’s wedding, what decency is this?!"

"Am I the one causing a scene?" Su Xingyu was deceived into coming here and was already filled with anger; being criticized by Mrs. Qin by bringing up her late mother only fueled her rage more, "Mrs. Qin, don’t overestimate your son! Please ask him not to cling onto me and let him live peacefully with Su Xingqi! It’ll save Su Xingqi from treating me as an imaginary enemy every day, causing a joke for your family!"

"You!" Mrs. Qin pointed at her, her face turning pale from anger and unable to speak.

In fact, it was clear to any sharp-eyed person that Su Xingyu wasn’t in the wrong; this time it was Su Xingqi who was scheming to trouble her while Su Xingyu was merely defending herself.

And this humiliation made Mrs. Qin even angrier, feeling that her family’s prospective daughter-in-law wasn’t as capable as a mere photographer!

On stage, Qin Mu, dressed in a white tailcoat, was comforting the soaked Su Xingqi and turned to see his mother about to faint from anger caused by Su Xingyu. He couldn’t help but reproach Su Xingyu: "Xingyu! Don’t you know my mother has high blood pressure? How dare you anger her like this! You even splashed Qiqi? Go apologize to my mom and Qiqi right now!"

"Qin Mu!" Qin Zheng couldn’t help but reprimand his brother, wasn’t the situation messed up enough already?

Yet Qin Mu couldn’t discern the implication behind his brother’s words and felt entirely perplexed, "Brother! Today is my big day, how can I face everyone with Xingyu having splashed Qiqi like this?"

"Indeed, how can the Qin family face others like this?" At this moment, Mr. Qin, who had been silent, finally couldn’t stand it and joined in, cutting through any confusion, "Qin Zheng, stop speaking for outsiders! Security, drag this woman out and send her to the police station! Let everyone know the consequences of disrupting the Qin family’s engagement party!"

Mr. Qin was acting to maintain the prestige of the Qin family, believing that if they couldn’t handle Su Xingyu, that would be the real embarrassment.

"Dad!" Qin Zheng was anxious, and given the presence of so many people, it was hard to disclose the stakes involved with Su Xingyu, he could only watch helplessly as the guards dragged her toward the crowd.

Onstage, Su Xingqi, disheveled, saw this scene and couldn’t help but reveal a pleased smile, ha, Su Xingyu, this is the consequence of provoking me!

Su Xingyu, held by the guards, with immense pain in her shoulder, dared not struggle, fearing a slight mistake would dislocate her bone for real.

She straightened her back and held her head high, walking out with the most haughty posture; even being driven out, she would never lower her head!

After walking just a few steps, she felt a man blocking her path.

"Get away from me." The man’s voice was cold and magnetic, carrying a faint murderous aura.

With the sound of his words, his hand reached out, and without her knowing how he moved, she only felt her shoulder lighten and her body gently spun into his embrace.

The security guard who had just grabbed her with force cried out in pain and fell to the ground, rolling while holding his own shoulder.

"Lu Shifeng." Amidst the cries, she felt a sense of peace and murmured the name of the man holding her.

"Did you get hurt anywhere?" he asked her.

The familiar scent from him relaxed her, and she shook her head, "No."

For some unknown reason, as long as he was there, she felt unafraid even if the sky would collapse.

The place was dead silent, everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events, no one had expected the Crown Prince of Blade Group, the influential eldest son of the Lu family, to appear here and even save the supposedly ordinary girl wearing a T-shirt and pants.

It was only until now that they had some real sense of Su Xingyu being "Lu Shifeng’s woman."

Several members of the Qin family also had changes in their expressions.

The first to speak was Qin Mu: "Lu Shifeng, why are you here? You...you shouldn’t treat Xingyu like this, she’s not your plaything!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Xingyu has never been my plaything; she’s my girlfriend," Lu Shifeng helped her stand steadily in his arms, then walked step by step to Qin Mu and others, "Besides, Mr. Qin, instead of worrying about others, maybe you should worry about yourself, do you even know what kind of person your fiancée is?"
