Chapter 1061: Consequences
Liang Xinyi thanked Han Zhongteng and took a towel someone passed to her. After that, she waited anxiously for all the guests to come over. She was ready to make a big fuss.
Liang Xinyi didn’t care how sorry and pathetic she looked in front of the crowd. The only thing on her mind was how she should use this opportunity to drag Yun Xi down.
Liang Xinyi wasn’t going to let Yun Xi off the hook, even if it meant she was going to embarrass herself.
Feeling angry and aggrieved, she looked at Yun Xi with her red, teary eyes. “Yun Xi! How could you be so evil? You knew that I couldn’t swim, but you still pushed me into the pool. Did you really want me dead?”
When she said that, Liang Xinyi pushed all the blame on Yun Xi and turned everyone’s attention to her.
Chen Lixue hurried over. Upon hearing that Yun Xi had pushed her daughter into the swimming pool, she flared up and couldn’t control her anger. Not only did Yun Xi almost kill her daughter, but she had also ruined her wedding ceremony.
Chen Lixue turned around and raised her hand to slap Yun Xi. But before the slap landed on Yun Xi’s face, Su Ximan suddenly appeared and stopped her.
With a loud slapping sound, Su Ximan knocked Chen Lixue’s hand away.
“Chen Lixue, Yun Xi is my guest. If you dare to touch her before we find out what really happened, you better be prepared for the consequences. Remember that the wedding ceremony is not over yet.”
Even if Chen Lixue had married into the Su family and become her aunt, she was still just an ordinary person to Su Ximan.
Her husband was getting old. With so many children in the Su family, the family elders did not expect him to carry on the family line. So, it didn’t matter whether he got married or had any children or not.
If Chen Lixue had been from an influential family, the marriage would have probably been icing on the cake for the Su family. A marriage of convenience would at least have had some benefits. But instead, Chen Lixue was a nobody, and she had brought along two children from her previous marriage also.
Su Ximan’s brother, Su Donglin, was the head of the Su family, so their fourth uncle had to ask for his blessing before getting married. This is the absolute power of the heir in a prominent and influential family.
Chen Lixue had just gotten married into the family, and she had already dared to make a fuss in front of Su Ximan, even to the point of trying to hit her guest. It would be a miracle if Su Ximan would tolerate that.
If Chen Lixue doesn’t consider the consequences, slaps Yun Xi, and offends the Young Commander, no good will ever come of it.
Even if Chen Lixue was fearless, Su Ximan would never allow her to drag the Su family down.
Su Ximan’s words were like a wake-up call for Chen Lixue.
Su Donglin was the decision-maker in the Su family now, and he was very close to his sister. So, if Su Ximan were to say anything, Su Donglin would definitely agree to it.
Since the wedding ceremony was not over yet, the Su family could still stop it if they wanted to. Also, since it was their second marriage at their age, no one really cared and were just going along for the ride.
She was no longer in the countryside where she could win a fight by just making a big fuss. The guests at the banquet were reputable figures, and getting rid of her would be as easy as stepping on an ant.
After suffering so much in Jingdu, she knew very well who she could afford to offend and who she couldn’t.
“Su Ximan, my daughter almost drowned because your guest pushed her into the swimming pool. My daughter does not know how to swim, so who would take responsibility if something happened to her? You? I have nothing to say if you want to defend your guest in front of everyone, but you can’t be so unreasonable and bully us like that.”
“I believe that Yun Xi is not that kind of person. She wouldn’t do something like that.”
They were alone by the pool, and all the guests were in the banquet hall on the second floor. Yun Xi wouldn’t do something so stupid and leave herself open for someone to frame her.
Instead, this felt like something a stupid person like Liang Xinyi would do. Wasn’t the pot calling the kettle black something she did all the time?
