Chapter 113: Mountains fall when you rely on them, people run away when you rely on them
"Mrs. Li? How come I've never heard of any wealthy family in Kyoto with the surname Li? How can a small family like yours have the nerve to not give Mrs. Yi face?"
Zhan Ruoyin sneered, "Small family? Fine, you are shameless, why should I bother with you?"
The rich ladies were furious and stared at Zhan Ruoyin, wanting to skin her alive.
"I've only heard of a family with the surname Li in Kyoto. They're a top-tier wealthy family. Not only us, but even Mrs. Yi is not qualified to meet the wife of the Li family. You want to scam me without even thinking about it. Mrs. Li doesn't like this kind of occasion and rarely shows up. Otherwise, we would have believed your lies!"
Zhan Ruoyin sat back on the chair, crossed her legs, crossed her arms, and raised her eyes slightly: "If you want to say that, I can't help it. Anyway, I was the first to sit here, so there is no reason for me to stand up and give you a seat."
Madam Sheng saw that the situation was getting worse and worse. She looked at the rich ladies and said sternly, "Are you bored and have nothing to do? There is more than one shaded area on the court, and this awning is big enough to accommodate more than 50 people. Madam Li and I have already arrived. You can come and rest or sit down, but you have to make room for us. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Mrs. Fu didn't take Zhan Ruoyin and Mrs. Sheng seriously at all. Now that they have finally met Mrs. Yi, they can't mess things up. That would be a breach of trust with Mrs. Yi. It is better to offend these two women than to offend Mrs. Yi.
The wealthy lady in a purple tasseled cheongsam crossed her arms and said angrily, "Yes, there is more than one shaded area on the court. You can go there too. Why do you have to fight with Mrs. Yi? Can you afford to offend Mrs. Yi?"
Zhan Ruoyin bit her lip and quietly watched them looking down on others. She felt so depressed that she took out her cell phone and called Mrs. Fu directly. When the caller saw that it was Zhan Ruoyin, she naturally did not dare to neglect it and quickly answered the call:
"Mrs. Li?"
Zhan Ruoyin looked at those rich ladies coldly and said bluntly: "Mrs. Fu, are you free now? I may need your help."
Mrs. Fu in purple robe snorted coldly and glared at Zhan Ruoyin. She didn't believe at all that she could call Mrs. Fu for help. Mrs. Fu was a lady of the same level as Mrs. Yi. How could she be called over with just a phone call?
"Don't think that if you put a cell phone to your ear and call Mrs. Fu, I will believe that you are really calling Mrs. Fu. You have to give way to this place today even if you don't want to!"
Zhan Ruoyin ignored her and picked up the white peach juice on the high table next to her. She took a sip and the refreshing and sweet taste filled her taste buds, making her feel much more relaxed.
Mrs. Fu was standing at the reception door. When she heard that Mrs. Li wanted to ask her for help, her face gradually became solemn and her tired voice became very serious. Mrs. Li's presence today had already brought honor to the Fu family, so she did not dare to neglect her at all: "Mrs. Li, I remember you have just arrived. Have you encountered any problems? What do you need me to do?"
Zhan Ruoyin's voice was indifferent and rather lazy. She used the tone of a superior to state unhappily, "Your Fu family is really great. Madam Sheng and I were chatting together, but suddenly a few people came and wanted to chase us away. It's quite interesting. When I attended state banquets before, no one dared to talk to me like this. I didn't expect to experience the feeling of being despised in your Fu family."
"Today is a big day for your Fu family, and I can't say anything to embarrass you. Please bring some bodyguards and take these noisy wives away. I don't want to see them again."
Zhan Ruoyin's voice was like thunder in the ears. Mrs. Fu was on speakerphone. When she heard this, everyone in the Fu family, young and old, looked unhappy, their faces turning from blue to black, and from black to white.
Especially Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu couldn't believe their ears.
Mrs. Fu felt like the sky was falling. She looked at her father-in-law and mother-in-law helplessly with tears in her eyes, and quickly replied to Zhan Ruoyin: "Okay, I will send someone to take those people away immediately. I am really sorry, Madam Li, there are so many things to do today, I really can't handle it, so I am a little negligent to you, please understand, I will take people over right away!"
Zhan Ruoyin snorted unhappily: "Please hurry up, I can't stand dirty things."
After Zhan Ruoyin hung up the phone, Mr. Fu angrily yelled at Mrs. Fu: "Didn't I tell you yesterday that Madam Li and Madam Sheng are distinguished guests of the Fu family, and they need to arrange a special venue and banquet? How did you arrange it? How could you let those short-sighted women make Madam Li unhappy? My son can't do anything about it. What's the use of you if the banquet is like this? Why don't you take people to find Madam Li!"
This was the first time that Mrs. Fu was yelled at by her husband. She wiped away her tears in grievance, "I've heard that Madam Li doesn't like this kind of occasion and asked her son and daughter-in-law to come together. I didn't expect Madam Li to come again today. I'm not a prophet, so how can I know whether Madam Li will come or not!"
Mr. Fu had been angry because Fu Yixun had married a wild country girl, and now that he saw his wife being stubborn, he became even more angry:
"If Madam Li doesn't come, there's still Madam Sheng. Have you made arrangements? Let me tell you, because of your negligence, you have offended two families at once. If the Li family insists on pursuing the matter today, you will take your son and get out of the Fu family. The Fu family and the Li family are still friendly partners."
Mrs. Fu's eyes widened, tears streaming down her face, she said with heartache:
"You finally spoke your mind, let us mother and son go away, so that your lover and illegitimate son can take over. I tell you, Fu Zhenhua, the ruler of the Li family, is decisive and ruthless. If he knew that his mother was wronged in the Fu family, I would drag you down with me even if I die. Let our entire Fu family die together!"
Mrs. Fu saw her son and daughter-in-law quarreling, her brows furrowed, she was so tired that she said in a hoarse voice, "It's already this hour, and you are still quarreling. The most urgent thing is to apologize to Madam Li and admit your mistakes, and show your sincerity in doing things for Madam Li. Don't waste time, go quickly."
Mrs. Fu glared at Fu Zhenhua fiercely and called eight bodyguards to rush to Zhan Ruoyin. It was an honor for the Fu family that Mrs. Li could come to support them. If they were bullied, the Fu family would be ridiculed to death. In serious cases, if they offended the Li family, the future development of the company would be in jeopardy.
Mrs. Fu prayed silently in her heart that those ungrateful rich ladies would never provoke Mrs. Li, no matter who they were, they should not provoke Mrs. Li!
As for Zhan Ruoyin, after finishing the call, her eyes fell on the purple-robed wealthy lady, and she sneered, as if she was watching a joke:
"Mrs. Li, right? You don't really think that we are scared just because of a random phone call. You even want Mrs. Fu to have us driven away. We have Mrs. Yi as our backer, so Mrs. Fu won't dare to touch us casually."
Zhan Ruoyin crossed her arms and smiled faintly: "Oh, then do you know the saying that if you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall, and if you rely on people, they will run away?"
After Zhan Ruoyin finished speaking, Mrs. Yi and the two rich ladies came over with unhappy faces. They saw Zhan Ruoyin at a glance. Mrs. Yi began to look Zhan Ruoyin up and down with contempt. She had a slender figure, a curvy figure, delicate facial features, and red lips. She looked like a vixen, dressed up in a flashy way. Was she trying to seduce men?
Mrs. Yi turned her cold eyes to those purple-robed rich ladies and said unhappily:
"What's going on? I asked you to go and say hello, but you haven't come back in such a long time. You must be old and confused. You can't even do such a simple thing. What's the use of you? Our Yi family is not something that any stupid cat or dog can get in touch with!"
When the purple-robed rich lady heard this, she panicked and glared at Zhan Ruoyin, pointing at her and saying, "Mrs. Yi, it's her. She calls herself Madam Li and shamelessly says she's not afraid of offending you. She just won't give up her seat and even says she wants to fight with you. She doesn't take you seriously at all."
When Mrs. Yi heard that someone dared to disrespect her, she instantly became angry and walked slowly to Zhan Ruoyin. She saw that Zhan Ruoyin was still sitting with his legs crossed and slightly raised. He looked at her unyieldingly, his eyes full of unbridled provocation.
Mrs. Yi was furious, pointing at Zhan Ruoyin and scolding, "Who do you think you are? How dare you look at me like that? Do you know what will happen if you offend me?"
As he said this, he raised his hand to hit Zhan Ruoyin. Zhan Ruoyin stood up, grabbed Mrs. Yi's wrist with her backhand, and slapped her in the face. The crisp sound stunned everyone.
Including Mrs. Yi.
She covered her face and looked at Zhan Ruoyin in disbelief, shaking with anger: "Bitch, you dare to hit me!"
Zhan Ruoyin pushed Mrs. Yi away with all her strength, and Mrs. Yi fell back with her arms and legs spread out, almost falling to the ground. Thanks to the two ladies behind her who supported her, she managed not to fall to the ground.
Zhan Ruoyin clapped her hands lazily, as if she had touched Mrs. Yi, and it was like she had touched a handful of dust. She said in a cold voice: "Who else wants to be beaten? Stand up and let me beat you to your heart's content."
The whole place suddenly fell silent, everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to offend Zhan Ruoyin.
Madam Sheng pulled Zhan Ruoyin over and whispered, "Madam Li, it seems that Madam Fu is here."
After listening to this, Zhan Ruoyin looked at the group of people behind Mrs. Yi. There were eight tall and burly bodyguards in black. Walking in the middle was a woman wearing a Chinese-style moon-white embroidered cheongsam. The dress was moon-white so as not to steal the limelight from the bride. Upon closer inspection, it was Mrs. Fu.
Zhan Ruoyin smacked her lips and said nothing. She originally didn't want to cause trouble for Mrs. Fu. Although the current incident had nothing to do with the Fu family, the best solution to the incident that happened on the Fu family's grounds was to let the host come forward.
As for why Zhan Ruoyin didn't want to use the Li family's methods, it was because she didn't want to. Leaving this small problem to the Fu family to solve would best reflect the Li family's status and give them face. They wouldn't have to do it themselves and could just watch the show.
Seeing them cowering, Mrs. Yi said angrily, "Whoever of you goes up to beat this woman will be the one our Yi family will cooperate with. You decide!"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly panicked and exchanged glances. A few rich ladies wanted money more than their lives, so they rolled up their sleeves and rushed towards Zhan Ruoyin.
Madam Sheng pulled Zhan Ruoyin in fear and pulled her behind her, angrily saying, "You are in big trouble! This is the head of the Li family, the mother of the person in charge of the Li Group! If anyone dares to take a step forward, not only the Li family, but also my Sheng family will not let anyone go!"
Mrs. Yi crossed her arms, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and said with a smile: "Sheng family? Are you going to say that you are Madam Sheng in your next sentence? How ridiculous, Madam Sheng has been ill recently and has been staying at home to recuperate. How could she appear here? And this fake Madam Li, everyone in the circle knows that Madam Li doesn't like this kind of occasion. This time she asked her daughter-in-law and son to come to the banquet together. You want to scare me with just a few words. Do you really think I was scared?"
Madam Sheng was so angry that her whole body was shaking. These ladies were as stupid as pigs. They didn't use their brains at all. If they were not real, why did the Fu family allow them to come in? Madam Li called Madam Fu, why did Madam Fu come?
Zhan Ruoyin rolled up her sleeves, but found that the dress she was wearing had no sleeves. She crossed her arms awkwardly, looked at Mrs. Yi, and said calmly:
"I originally thought of asking Mrs. Fu to bring people to kick you out. After all, today is the Fu family's wedding, and I can't ruin her place. But you two are so ignorant, arrogant, and domineering. You make me upset, so blame me for being ruthless."
Zhan Ruoyin called Fan Mingyang and asked him to call Li Linzhou over as well. It would be better to call all the men of these wives over. It was not necessary to kowtow and apologize, but if he wanted to develop in Kyoto in the future, it would depend on Zhan Ruoyin's mood.
When Fan Mingyang received the call, his face looked grim. He didn't expect that his wife was bullied in the Fu family. Wherever his wife goes, she is surrounded by people and is so dazzling that others don't even have time to please her.
The venue was too large. When Fan Mingyang went to the wedding scene to find Li Linzhou and Yin Xi, he was sweating and breathless as he told Li Linzhou about the incident. He even exaggerated by saying that his wife was in a bad mood and his voice was choked with sobs, and she must have suffered a lot of injustice.
Li Linzhou originally wanted to see Qin Yunian for the last time. She would belong to someone else's family from now on. This last meeting should be like a sharp sword to cut off all the past ties and they would never see each other again. Seeing Qin Yunian wearing a white and dreamy wedding dress and about to come out like a princess, Li Linzhou's face became solemn and ugly.
On one side is his former beloved, and on the other is his most beloved mother. He is torn.
Yin Xi peeled a piece of wedding candy and put it in her mouth. Seeing Li Linzhou's hesitation, she laughed secretly in her heart. Only these two things could make the decisive president embarrassed.
Yin Xi walked up to Li Linzhou and asked him, "Mrs. Li was bullied, aren't you going to find her?"
Li Linzhou lowered his eyelids, his breath was dull: "Go, let's go."
Fan Mingyang knew about the eldest young master's affairs, and he also knew that the eldest young master must have Qin Yunian in his heart, but for the sake of the Li family, he had no choice but to give in.
I'm afraid you came to the banquet today because you wanted to see Qin Yunian for the last time.
Seeing Li Linzhou agreed so readily, Fan Mingyang's face lit up and he quickly said, "I'll lead the way for you. Madam and Madam Sheng are in the awning at the back."
Just as Li Linzhou was about to leave, a crackling sound came from behind. Turning around, he saw a thousand-layer wine glass being pushed over by a woman not far away. The glass fell on the table, and the wine gurgled along the edge of the table onto the lawn. The rich aroma of wine hit his face.
Yin Xi also turned around and saw a familiar girl. She pushed Jiuquan down, but not satisfied, so she took out a pair of scissors and cut all the wedding photos of Fu Yixun and Qin Yunian into pieces. The guests who were chatting nearby were all stunned.
Seeing that the girl was holding a pair of scissors in her hand like a madman, no one dared to move or criticize her loudly, for fear of endangering the girl's life.
Yin Xi frowned, thinking that something was wrong.
Why is Fang Zhi here?
It looks like they are here to cause trouble at a wedding.
Yin Xi shifted her gaze to Li Linzhou's face. His eyes were as dark and cold as obsidian. He stood there in a daze, somewhat shocked.
