189: Seniority Mix-up

Seniority Mix-up

"Yes… She's the one who stepped on my foot!" Lu Jingtian appeared wretched as she said, "She's so vicious. Brother Xingze, I think I have a broken toe…"2

"I - I didn't…" Yun Shishi frantically tried to explain, appearing flustered and helpless.

Inwardly, knowing how much force she had used in her attack earlier, she was sure she had broken Lu Jingtian's toe.

She might be meek and giving in the past, but that was only for the sake of Youyou. She was no weakling and did not intend to welcome any bullies.

She knew subconsciously that Lu Jingtian was not one to be trifled with, but the latter was the one who had tried to do some funny business to her first. She was only returning her due justice and nothing more.

What of her stepping on someone else's toe? She was not the first one to do so tonight.

Gu Xingze frowned. While he was not close to Lu Jingtian, he knew of the latter's reputation as a spoiled and pampered princess. What she said could largely not be trusted.

Hence, he did not believe her and merely dismissed her claim. "I'll get someone to send you to the medical room!"

"Brother Xingze, why are you so protective of her?! This b*tch did it on purpose!"

Mu Yazhe, meanwhile, was staring at Yun Shishi with furrowed brows.

He had been unhappy since her arrival.

He reckoned she would know her place at this point, yet she still appeared in public with Gu Xingze.

Concurrently, Little Yichen, who was standing by his side, was wearing the same expression. He had a vantage point of where Lu Jingtian had fallen.

Since Yun Shishi's arrival, he had focused all his attention on her.

Just like his father, he was unhappy that the pretty sister was by another man's side.

However, what followed next stumped this young boy.

That Lu Jingtian actually stuck out her foot to trip the pretty sister. He saw and could not stop it in time.

He did not expect the event to unfold like this…

The commotion downstairs was clearly seen from the second floor.

Yun Tianyou only heard Lu Jingtian's hollering and unreasonable accusation at his mother. His mother was at a disadvantage, and he was truly worried and angry.

"How dare that woman bully my mommy?! Agent Li, who is she?!"

Li Hanlin could only stammer, "I - I don't know."

"… Haven't you done your homework before coming here?"

"None of the stars whom I like belongs to Huanyu Entertainment."

He explained in a sorry tone. Looking rueful, he continued, "Director Yun, I'll make sure to do a thorough investigation after this gala."

Yun Tianyou leaned on the banister and took another long look before he decided anxiously. "No, this won't do; I'm going down."

He quickly restrained the boy by scooping him into his arms. "Director Yun, please stay calm; you can't go down there! Your identity… can't be exposed yet."

"No—"

"Pretty sister didn't step on you!"

Just as he was fidgeting over his mother, a young and naïve voice was heard from below.

Dark-faced, he turned toward that voice and saw Little Yichen looking unhappily at Lu Jingtian. "Pretty sister was doing fine, but you just had to put your foot out to trip her! It's your fault!"

Yun Tianyou looked more irked when he heard this.

Pretty sister?

That boy actually called his biological mother…'pretty sister'?

That really threw him off. His lips uncontrollably twitched on his usually calm face.

Then… Going by this logic, what should he address me?
