Chu Meng's commotion naturally drew the attention of the Chu family. The person who arrived was none other than Chu Meng's brother, Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao was well-built with a straight posture, suggesting regular fitness. His buzz cut gave his resolute face a touch of unruly defiance. His features were regular, not strikingly handsome, but rather pleasant to look at, exuding abundant masculine energy.
Upon hearing his sister's scream, he immediately rushed over, a domineering aggression on his face: "Mengmeng, what's going on?"
Seeing her brother arrive, Chu Meng found her most reliable support. She immediately threw herself into her brother's arms, crying out loudly, "Brother, she bullied me!"
The girl in the long purple dress quickly added, "Yes, it's this woman! Not only did she insult Mengmeng, but she also splashed wine on her!"
Chu Xiao looked up, following the direction his sister's finger pointed, his gaze carrying a hint of sharpness. "Who gave you the courage to bully my sister, Chu Xiao, in my Chu family!"
His eyes then fell upon Bai Xi.
But the moment he saw Bai Xi, he couldn't help but freeze.
At this moment, Bai Xi's eyes were clear, her expression serene, as if the events of the world had nothing to do with her. Her eyes held no fear of being caught red-handed, nor any panic upon seeing him. She simply watched everything unfold calmly, as if observing a farce from the sidelines.
Seeing her brother stunned by Bai Xi, Chu Meng said nothing more, growing even angrier. She continued to accuse, "Brother, it's her! She's the one who splashed red wine on me. Look, my dress, this is my favorite gown, and she ruined it! Wuwuwu, brother, you must teach her a good lesson!"
Chu Xiao doted on Chu Meng and had often stood up for her in the past.
But today... he didn't know why, but he had a feeling that the woman before him hadn't actually bullied Chu Meng. However, today was a Chu family banquet, and outsiders could not be allowed to cause trouble here and damage the Chu family's reputation.
"Miss, did you splash the red wine on Mengmeng?"
While Bai Xi wasn't afraid of trouble, she had never been one to seek it out.
If Chu Xiao had stepped forward and, without a word, tried to attack or called security to drag her away, she certainly wouldn't have been polite.
But although Chu Xiao's attitude wasn't great and his tone was a bit aggressive, she could understand it as him being protective of his sister. Naturally, she wouldn't intentionally cause trouble. She slightly raised her gaze and looked at Chu Xiao, saying faintly, "If I say she splashed it on herself, would you believe me?"
Chu Xiao frowned and looked at his sister.
Chu Meng slightly faltered, her gaze involuntarily flickering away, then she exclaimed loudly, "Brother, am I sick? To splash red wine on myself. Moreover, you would ask an outsider instead of me, your own sister!"
The two other women chimed in: "Yes, she's the one who splashed it, we both saw it."
Chu Xiao noticed his sister's evasive eyes and his gaze subtly deepened.
Mengmeng was lying!
But now, with so many people present, even if she needed to be taught a lesson, it would have to wait until they were alone. Otherwise, where would the Chu family's face go!
After some thought, he said, "Miss, I don't know your reasons, but since you splashed wine on my sister today, you are no longer welcome at the Chu family's banquet. Please leave now!"
Bai Xi raised her eyebrows. Seeing Chu Xiao's expression, she understood the situation.
Chu Xiao was a sensible person. He had likely seen the truth from his sister's evasive eyes, but he had decided to protect the Chu family's reputation.
Did his sister's face matter, but hers did not? For his politeness, she wouldn't say anything more, and she wasn't going to leave. If he insisted on making her leave, then she wouldn't hesitate to disregard the Chu family's reputation.
Just then, Chu Meng became insistent, "Brother, you can't just let her go! At least... at least splash a glass of red wine on her too, and then make her leave!"
She simply couldn't stand the dress made of moon silk that Bai Xi was wearing, a gift from Han Rui. With a glass of red wine, the dress would be ruined, and then how could Bai Xi show off in front of her!
The girl in the rose-red long dress immediately said, "Brother Chu Xiao, Mengmeng is just returning the favor. If you don't punish this woman, how will Mengmeng conduct herself in the future?"
The woman in purple agreed, "Yes, in my opinion, stripping her naked and throwing her out is the only way to appease Mengmeng's anger."
At these words, Chu Meng faltered slightly, looking at Bai Xi and saying, "That's not necessary, just splash a glass of red wine on her!"
She looked down on Bai Xi, and even more so couldn't stand Bai Xi wearing this dress. But to strip a girl's clothes, how would she be able to show her face later!
Even though she disliked the woman who had charmed Brother Han Rui, as a woman, she didn't want to do that.
The woman in the purple long dress, however, was relentless, "Mengmeng, this woman stole your man, and you're just going to let her go?"
This woman acted too proud. She had torn up five million, and despite her own assiduous efforts to please Chu Meng, she had only bought herself two bags and a pair of high heels.
She couldn't stand such a woman, who was beautiful and whose money came so easily, yet acted so self-righteous. She wanted her to die!
The woman in the rose-red long dress, upon hearing Chu Meng say this, immediately exclaimed, "Mengmeng, you're too kind. But if you let her go today, Brother Han Rui might still be captivated by her."
She also liked Han Rui. Although Chu Meng had always pursued Han Rui, Han Rui didn't care, she saw it clearly.
And this woman, Han Rui had personally commissioned a gown for her, and even bought her these beautiful crystal shoes. Undoubtedly, she was special to Brother Han Rui, so she hated her too, hated her to the point of wishing her a fate worse than death!
Chu Meng, hearing the incitement from the two women, hesitated for half a second, a flicker of helplessness in her eyes. She didn't know what to do.
She wanted Bai Xi to sever ties with Han Rui, but... if she went that far, wouldn't it ruin the woman before her? Wouldn't it make Brother Han Rui dislike her?
Seeing Chu Meng's hesitation, the woman in the rose-red long dress cursed her lack of backbone internally and could no longer suppress her own intentions. "Mengmeng, I know you're a pampered young lady and can't bring yourself to do it, we'll help you!"
With that, she looked at the woman in the purple long dress.
This woman was so frail, how could she possibly be her match? After being exposed in front of everyone today, Brother Han Rui would definitely not want this kind of woman anymore!
The woman in the purple long dress, upon hearing this, also became tempted and stepped forward, wanting to offer her help.
Just as their hands were about to touch Bai Xi, two crisp sounds were heard, and those two villainous arms bent backward at extremely unnatural angles.
Following that were two more piercing wails: "Aaaaahhhhh..."
"Owwwwww..."
Everyone present widened their eyes, utterly stunned, for they hadn't even seen what happened before the two women's hands were bent like that.
Unfortunately for Bai Xi, this was not the end.
She looked coldly at the two women before her and said, "As women ourselves, to humiliate your own kind in such a manner is truly disgusting. Since you like seeing naked women so much, I shall oblige you."
As she spoke, she grabbed the cake-cutting knife from the long table and swung it directly at the two women. With a light flick, the exquisite gowns of the two women were cut open from the neckline, revealing smooth, pale skin!
