Unbeknownst to her about all of the chaos happening on the internet, Lee Xuiye went to fight for her partner "Miss Zhuo, stop right there!"
Mo Lingtan and Zhuo Ziyao were about to enter into the hall but stopped when they heard Lee Xuiye's voice.
Lee Xuiye went towards them and immediately parted their hands away ferociously and rightfully said: "Miss Zhuo, I heard that you are a daughter from a prestigious family, who has been known for being a proper lady but don't you think snatching someone else's boyfriend would affect your image?"
"..." Zhuo Ziyao was speechless. Since, when did she snatch someone else's boyfriend? It was Mo Lingtan who had agreed with her to be her partner. Wasn't Lee Xuiye being unreasonable by saying 'snatching someone else's boyfriend' ?
However, Zhuo Ziyao didn't want to damage her ladylike appearance especially in front of Mo Lingtan, she just looked at Mo Lingtan with pitiful eyes as if Lee Xuiye was bullying her.
However, Lee Xuiye didn't give Zhuo Ziyao a chance to get any success in her act of being pitiful when Lee Xuiye saw that Zhuo Ziyao was looking at Mo Lingtan, then Lee Xuiye immediately said in a loud voice so that she could get the attention from all of the nearby people "Miss Zhuo, I know you are from powerful family and I am from a poor family but I have already told you that I love Brother Lingtan and he loves me too, please don't separate us forcefully."
Lee Xuiye immediately formed fake pitiful tears in her eyes as well.
"...."
"...."
Mo Lingtan and Zhuo Ziyao were speechless while looking at Lee Xuiye as to what the hell she was doing all of a sudden?
When the other guests, who were still outside, heard Lee Xuiye, they were looking disdainfully towards Zhuo Ziyao.
Mo Lingtan held Lee Xuiye's arms and annoyingly asked: "Xuiye, what the hell are you doing?"
Lee Xuiye had a cunning smile on her face while she replied quietly so that only Mo Lingtan and Zhuo Ziyao could hear her, "Simple, I want you to be my partner. If you don't then I will make Miss Zhuo as a third party in our relationship in front of everybody and make her lose her face in front of everybody. So it is your own choice to either be my partner and save your friend's face or don't blame me afterward for creating chaos in your sister's engagement party and making your friend lose her face."
"You...Lee Xuiye, how dare you? Brother Lingtan ...did you hear that?...." Zhuo Ziyao's anger immediately shot to the top of her head and she pointed her finger towards Lee Xuiye aggressively while looking at Mo Lingtan so that he could chide Lee Xuiye in front of everyone.
Unfortunately, she had fallen into the scheming trap of Lee Xuiye and what was more, by shouting at Lee Xuiye, Zhuo Ziyao also dug a hole for herself. Now all of the guests would think that whatever Lee Xuiye was saying was true.
Even Mo Lingtan was speechless when he heard Lee Xuiye's words as he was thinking since when did his stupid Xuiye become so scheming?
He always thought that his Xuiye was so stupid that someone would definitely take advantage of her someday because of her stupidity, however now he found out that his worry was for nothing as his stupid Xuiye was becoming very scheming.
He had never in his dreams expected that Lee Xuiye would bring this ridiculous idea to threaten him to be her partner rather than chasing after him and begging him to be her partner which she usually did.
Mo Lingtan couldn't decide whether to praise her or chide her until he heard Zhuo Ziyao's angry voice. He then opened his mouth to say something, but before he could say anything, Lee Xuiye swiftly changed her demeanor again into a pitiful state. "Miss Zhuo, please don't bring brother Lingtan into this. He is innocent just like me. I know he couldn't retort you because of the powerful position of your father!"
Zhuo Ziyao wanted to scold Lee Xuiye for bringing her father unknowingly, but she shut her mouth when she heard the gossip of the guests.
"Miss Zhuo??? Is she the daughter of Mr. Zhuo who stands for the position of Mayor of the city in this election?" One of the guests asked.
"Well, that girl has just mentioned now that this girl's father is a powerful person. So, I think, this girl is indeed Mr. Zhuo's daughter!" The other guest analyzed.
"Then, it is a very horrible thing that these people are taking advantage of their position and bullying poor people. The mayor's election is next month, now I need to think seriously to whom I should vote." The earlier guest glanced disdainfully towards Zhuo Ziyao.
"Yes, you are right. In fact, I will also think carefully now!" The other guest agreed with his friend.
The other guests also heard these two guests and agreed with them in unison "Yes, you are right, I will also think carefully…"
"Yes, Me too…"
"Yes, Me too…"
"Yes, Me too…"
Zhuo Ziyao's expression changed into ashes instantly when she heard these guests' words. The next month's election was very important for her father and her family. If her father would win then her dream of becoming Mo Lingtan's wife would come true.
However, to her dismay, this damn Lee Xuiye was now creating problems for her father just because she wanted to be Mo Lingtan's partner, wasn't she being too petty?
Moreover, Lee Xuiye smartly saved Mo Lingtan by calling him "Brother Lingtan" instead of using his full name 'Mo Lingtan' as many people had only heard Mo Lingtan's name and didn't see his face in person, otherwise, these guests would have known that no one could pressure Mo Lingtan and they wouldn't have fallen into Lee Xuiye's trap and furthermore, Lee Xuiye had made Mo Lingtan a pitiful person as well by showing them that Zhuo Ziyao was pressuring Mo Lingtan to be her partner, however, the real situation was the other way around!
