Jian Yiheng glared at Wei Qirui with cold eyes. However, he knew that what he said was true.

He could beat Wei Qirui up until he couldn’t open his mouth to speak anymore. However, he could not take back the words that had already been spoken.

Jian Yiheng: “I’m not beating you up to seal your mouth. I’m beating you up because the words that you just said insulted my family.”

“Don’t hit him anymore,” Jian Yiling called out to Jian Yiheng. “It’s not worth it.”

Jian Yiling did not want Jian Yiheng to carry the crime of intentionally injuring Wei Qirui.

Jian Yiheng lowered his head to look at his sister. Jian Yiling’s hand was currently holding him back.

His sister’s delicate and fair hands formed a stark contrast against his wheat-colored skin.

Jian Yiheng listened to his sister. He did not make another move against Wei Qirui.

However, Wei Qirui continued to laugh: “Jian Yiling, are you still pretending? If you have what it takes, you should explain the situation clearly.”

Jian Yiling calmly replied: “I’m waiting for someone.”

“Waiting for someone? Who are you waiting for? Don’t tell me you’re waiting for Zhang Xuming to come and save you.”

Jian Yiling did not reply to this.

Instead, she turned around and took Zhai Yunsheng’s hand. She then said to him seriously: “A Sheng, no such thing happened.”

“Mhmm, I know.”

Naturally, Zhai Yunsheng trusted Jian Yiling.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng said to Wei Qirui: “Well, since you want a confrontation, sit down and wait.”

“Yeah, I will do exactly that! I will give you enough respect!” Wei Qirui replied with a smile on his face. He wanted to see what tricks Jian Yiling could get up to.

Then, the scene of the birthday party quietened down. Everyone was silently waiting for the person that Jian Yiling was waiting for.

At such a time, no one dared to speak.

If they said something inappropriate, they would offend Master Sheng.

This was not a consequence that they could afford.

Wen Ruo quietly waited as well. She picked up a glass and elegantly tasted the wine inside of it.

This matter had nothing to do with her. She could stand by the side and watch the show unfold.

Everyone had different expressions on their faces. However, Jian Yiling’s expression was particularly calm. She continued to eat and drink. From time to time, she played around on her phone as well. She did not appear nervous at all.

After a while, two people arrived at the birthday party. One was Zhang Xuming and the other was Zhang Xuming’s lawyer.

Zhang Xuming rushed over here immediately after Jian Yiling messaged him.

Zhang Xuming’s lawyer was also carrying a heavy handbag.

After all, it was useless to explain with words. Zhang Xuming asked his lawyer to bring out the evidence.

Zhang Xuming’s arrival made the crowd’s curiosity swell to the highest point.

They were all looking forward to what would happen next.

After a while, Wei Qirui climbed out of the pool. He held a towel in his hand as he wiped the water off himself.

As soon as Zhang Xuming arrived, he coldly said to Wei Qirui: “Mr. Wei has really opened my eyes to the world! It is often said that people who do business are not benevolent and righteous! You’re neither of those! Not only that, but you’re also incredibly shameless!”

As they were arguing already, Wei Qirui did not show any respect to Zhang Xuming: “Shameless? Aren’t you the one that’s shameless? You’re an embarrassment to elderly individuals! Are you blaming me for exposing your affairs?”

“Embarrassment to elderly individuals? How can you just accuse me of that out of nothing? Wow, I’ve really learned something today!”

“Then you should explain why you’re transferring money into Jian Yiling’s account, month after month!”

“Of course I plan to explain this! I will get my lawyer to explain this matter to you right now! Jian Yiling is not someone else! She’s a partner of Xuming Medical Manufacturers! She’s also my chosen successor!”

As soon as Zhang Xuming said this, everyone was in an uproar.
