"Xiao Tian Huizi?"
Karina didn't argue, but looked at Xiao Tian Huizi with surprise, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes.
Although the Karin family was powerful, they were still inferior to the Xiao Tian family.
She hadn't expected Xiao Tian Huizi to back up this lowly Chinese woman. This slut was indeed capable!
No, could she really be Wang Er Zhu's fiancée?
Suddenly, Karina's mind raced, and a terrifying thought surfaced, but she immediately dismissed it.
Wang Er Zhu was the richest man in Kyoto, and even the reclusive families depended on him. He couldn't possibly marry such a woman!
"Miss Huizi, this woman is your servant, isn't she? You should discipline her. She not only yelled at me but also wanted to lie on the sofa."
Karina's eyes darted, as if she had guessed something, and she stepped forward with her wine glass to complain.
"Enough, no one will think you're mute if you don't speak!"
Karina was about to say something more, but Xiao Tian Huizi shot her an annoyed glance.
Just as Karina was about to retort, she was shocked to see Xiao Tian Huizi actually bowing to that woman!
Heavens, what was she seeing?
The daughter of the esteemed Xiao Tian family bowing to a lowly Chinese woman. This world was truly mad!
"She is not my servant, she is Mr. Wang's fiancée, and I am her bodyguard!"
Just as Karina was about to inquire, what Xiao Tian Huizi said next shocked everyone present, especially Karina, who almost collapsed to the ground!
Could this woman truly be Wang Er Zhu's fiancée?
My God, what had she done!
The other guests, however, were focused on something else – Xiao Tian Huizi's last half-sentence.
"And I am her bodyguard!"
Wang Er Zhu was truly bringing honor to the Chinese people, having a daughter from a prominent Japanese family serve as her fiancé's bodyguard!
"What? I... she... you..."
"I'm sorry, Sister Mei, for letting you be wronged."
Before Karina could finish speaking, Xiao Tian Huizi bowed deeply to Li Mei again, her eyes full of apology.
"It's alright, let's sit down and talk."
Li Mei ignored Karina further, took the wine glass from Xiao Tian Huizi's hand, and sat down.
As Li Mei and Xiao Tian Huizi sat down, the surrounding guests slowly dispersed.
However, after this incident, the way they looked at Karina had completely changed.
Before this, they thought Karina was a proud and lofty heiress, but now, they saw her as a foreign woman dumber than a pig!
Especially Miss Lin, who had just warned her. Her company had been planning to cooperate with Karin Company, but after this incident, she abandoned the idea.
A family like Karin, with such an idiot, would go bankrupt sooner or later!
"Karina, stop right there!"
Seeing Karina also fleeing with the guests, Xiao Tian Huizi suddenly stood up and reprimanded her.
If it were anyone else, she wouldn't have bothered with her. But if it happened to Li Mei, she wouldn't let it slide!
"It's fine, let her go. A few barks of a dog, I don't mind."
Seeing Xiao Tian Huizi about to rush forward in anger, Li Mei stopped her in time.
Karina, not far away, heard this. A flicker of anger flashed in her frightened eyes, but she didn't dare to speak, so she could only endure it!
Dog barks?
When had she, the daughter of the esteemed Karin family, ever suffered such an insult!
This woman must die!
A murderous glint flashed in Karina's beautiful eyes, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and her whole body trembled!
"Xiao Mei, do you really intend to let her go?"
On the other side, Xiao Tian Huizi didn't notice these things. She looked at Li Mei with surprise.
If it were anyone else, they would have severely punished Karina. With Wang Er Zhu backing her, it wouldn't matter even if the Karin family blamed her, but she chose to forgive!
No wonder Wang Er Zhu liked her. Such generosity was rare among the wealthy families!
"Yes, sit down. It's just a small matter, nothing serious."
Seeing Xiao Tian Huizi's surprised and confused gaze, Li Mei tugged at her hand, and they both sat down again.
Although Karina's taunts were infuriating, Li Mei knew better than to escalate the situation!
Even though Er Zhu doted on her, she knew very well that with her own capabilities, she really didn't have the right to attend such a banquet!
And she didn't want to be dependent on Er Zhu!
She didn't want to give others any reason to gossip. These matters could affect Er Zhu's career!
Thinking of this, Li Mei took a deep breath and looked affectionately at the room where Er Zhu had entered.
Xiao Tian Huizi, looking at Li Mei's blinking large eyes, understood her thoughts. She seemed to understand even more why Er Zhu liked Li Mei so much.
And she understood even more clearly that she and Er Zhu had no chance.
At this moment, in a private room on the second floor, Er Zhu was examining precious medicinal herbs when a bodyguard rushed in in a panic: "Master, it's bad! Someone is bullying Miss Li!"
The bodyguard, ignoring the sweat on his forehead, glanced at Er Zhu and reported anxiously.
"Which Miss Li?"
Old Feng hadn't reacted immediately. He greeted Er Zhu with a smile and asked impatiently.
The banquet for the wealthy families was a place for the daughters of prominent families to compete. Some minor friction occurred at every banquet; he was used to such things.
"That... is Mr. Wang's unmar..."
"What? Who dares to bully Li Mei with such audacity!"
Before the bodyguard could finish speaking, Old Feng's face darkened, and he roared in anger.
"Miss Karina... from the Karin family!"
Seeing the anger in his master's eyes, the bodyguard became even more nervous and stuttered his reply.
"Expel her and cancel all business dealings with the Karin family!"
As soon as the bodyguard finished speaking, Old Feng roared impatiently, as if he would be doomed if he delayed any longer.
The bodyguard certainly didn't dare to delay. Without even nodding, he rushed out of the private room as quickly as possible.
"I'm so sorry, Er Zhu. It's my fault for not taking good care of her. I will definitely teach Karina a lesson and vent Miss Li's anger!"
Before Er Zhu could speak, Old Feng ran over with a fawning smile and bowed in apology.
"Yes, but this is the only time. It won't happen again!"
Seeing Old Feng trembling, Er Zhu didn't dwell on it and said this before returning his gaze to the precious medicinal herbs.
"Alright, if you like these medicinal herbs, I'll give them to you as a token of my apology."
Old Feng's eyes darted as if he had thought of something, and he added, pointing to the herbs on the table.
Although these medicinal herbs had been found at great cost of manpower and resources, as long as it could appease Er Zhu's anger, it was worth giving him all of them!
"No need, you keep these medicinal herbs. I lack nothing."
Er Zhu naturally knew that Old Feng was trying to appease him, and he shook his head slightly.
