Shen Qianrou's pretty face turned pale when she was being interrupted by Shen Fanxing again. Her shoulders shrunk and she gazed at her with a forlorn expression.
"You didn't manage to splash the glass of wine on me today, but what if you did? Of course, you would say that it wasn't intentional. Then, you would wait for me to throw a tantrum and berate you. After that… Yes, that's right. You would like this right now, teary-eyed and pitiful, looking as if you didn't do it on purpose… And after that, there would be people by your side who would stand up for you. They would pity you, forgive you, and accuse me of being unreasonable. They will then accuse me of bullying you…"
Shen Fanxing expounded loudly as her gaze landed on Su Heng, whose expression had stiffen. He tilted his head to look at Shen Qianrou, his expression growing complicated.
Shen Qianrou's face turned even more pale. Shen Fanxing had exposed all the possibilities. The number of onlookers, including Su Heng, wouldn't want to be the ones who stood up for her.
She could even sense the change in atmosphere around Su Heng, as his gaze landed on her doubtfully.
She bit her lips tightly, her eyes brimming with sadness. She looked at the wine glass in Shen Fanxing's hand before she suddenly reached out to her.
"Sister, trust me… I didn't do it on purpose…"
Yet, Shen Fanxing avoided her hand as though she had predicted that. She paused and raised her glass, splashing the entire glass of wine on Shen Qianrou's face.
Shen Qianrou was caught off guard and the liquid landed on her face forcefully. It felt as though she had been slapped.
"Oh my god—"
The people around them exclaimed in shock, not expecting the woman who had spoken so calmly to do such a sudden thing.
Shen Qianrou couldn't open her eyes as the wine had gotten into them. However, her body shivered uncontrollably.
"This is your most commonly used trick! You want me to spill the wine on you on purpose and then accuse me of bullying you while wearing a pitiful look. I don't need your help because I'll do it myself! I've said this before, if I do anything wrong, I won't hide it!"
A scene like that at a public event was rather ugly.
Everyone watched as Shen Qianrou's light-colored gown was splashed, her beautiful hairdo was falling slowly and her makeup was smudged as well. Her lashes trembled lightly and her face was white.
Su Heng couldn't take it anymore.
"Fanxing, you…"
Slap!
Accompanied by the sharp sound of glass shattering, the glass in Shen Fanxing's hand shattered before Su Heng's feet.
Su Heng halted in his footsteps and lifted his head. His gaze landed on Shen Fanxing's icy face.
"What do you want to say?!"
Her cold gaze and strong tone rendered Su Heng speechless.
When Su Heng didn't move, Shen Fanxing retracted her gaze coldly and turned to Xu Qingzhi. "I'm going to the washroom."
Xu Qingzhi grinned and nodded before asking, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"It's alright."
It took Shen Qianrou some time before she could open her eyes. She had waited all this while for Su Heng to defend her. She glanced askew at Su Heng and noticed that he was looking at her with a darkened expression.
Panic seized her as she held on to his arm tightly. Disregarding her pathetic state, she looked up at him with her eyes welling with grievance and tears.
"Brother Heng, I really didn't…"
"Nothing?"
Su Heng studied her coldly and reached out to brush her hand away.
Then, he stopped a waiter and said, "Please bring her to a place so that she can freshen up."
