It was not that Fang Xiaonuan could not hear the sarcasm Feng Qi was putting forth. She just did not want to waste everyone’s time at the dining table. She did not want to argue with a person who did not have a proper outlook on life. However, Feng Qi had actually used her surname in her insinuations. She could not tolerate it anymore.

Fang Xiaonuan had no patience for these remarks. She took a deep breath and shook her head. She said, “Sister-in-law, your words are really unpleasant. Ugh, you’re clearly a human being. Why do you want to be a dog of the Wang Family? If you feel that it’s glorious, then go ahead. Our entire family will be happy to have a beast that understands human nature.”

Feng Qi was so angry that she could not take it anymore. She stood up and pointed at Fang Xiaonuan. “You, you’re disobedient. Are you courting death?”

Feng Qi had been slandering her using insinuations. Fang Xiaonuan was being direct and unbearable.

Ji Lingchen was shocked by Fang Xiaonuan’s words. This girl was not afraid of anything and she dared to say anything. She dared to insult Feng Qi. She had called her a beast in front of the family.

Moreover, Ji Kangde was sitting next to Feng Qi. When everyone heard her words, their expressions turned ugly.

Fang Xiaonuan’s words were indeed unpleasant, but Ji Kangde was not deaf. This argument was indeed instigated by Feng Qi. “Sit down, sit down. We’re all a family. What’s this noise about?” Ji Kangde did not say much. Instead, he was putting on a show.

Logically speaking, Ji Lingchen should have said something at this time. If he stepped up to teach Fang Xiaonuan a lesson, this matter would be over. However, he did not seem to want to say anything. He deliberately did not say anything. He wanted to see how Fang Xiaonuan would resolve this matter.

Feng Qi flew into a rage out of humiliation. She glanced at the basin beside her and planned to splash the water on Fang Xiaonuan. However, Fang Xiaonuan had already guessed what she was going to do when she approached the basin.

Fang Xiaonuan stood up, picked up the basin, and splashed the water on Feng Qi.

The water accidentally hit Ji Kangde, who was beside her. Fang Xiaonuan bowed politely. “I’m sorry, big brother. I accidentally splashed you.”

Ji Kangde was at a loss for words.

Ji Lingchen was speechless as well.

The two brothers were equally shocked at this moment.

“Ah! You b*tch, how dare you splash me!” Feng Qi said angrily, soaking wet.

“I only predicted your prediction. You and I are both young madams of the Ji family. I’m younger than you, but my status is not lower than yours,” Fang Xiaonuan said calmly. Then, she went back to her seat.

Old Master Ji walked in with the butler. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he took note of the unusual atmosphere. As he walked closer, he realized that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Fang Xiaonuan waited for Feng Qi to complain, but she did not say anything. In any case, she was not the one in the wrong. Feng Qi had provoked her first.

Feng Qi only shouted in exasperation and quickly left the restaurant.

“What happened?” Old Master Ji asked.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Sister-in-law likened herself to a beast of the Wang family. I saw that she was a little confused about her position, so I helped her clear her head. She might have gone back on her word just now.”

Ji Kangde glanced at Fang Xiaonuan, then stood up and said, “Dad, I’m going to go follow Feng Qi.” He could not say anything at the moment.

“Is what Nuannuan said true?” Old Master Ji asked before Ji Kangde could leave.

Ji Kangde did not answer and left the restaurant directly. Ji Lingchen’s gaze never left Fang Xiaonuan. He thought to himself, ‘It seems that you still have the ability to lie and remain calm.’

“That’s how it went,” Fang Xiaonuan said to Old Master Ji.

Ji Lingchen then stood up and left without saying a word. He did not need to give a reason for his departure.

Fang Xiaonuan realized that she and Old Master Ji were the only ones left at the dining table, so she stood up as well. “Dad, I’m going to look for my husband.”

After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan followed behind Ji Lingchen obediently.

The two of them walked out of the door one after the other and went outside. A warm breeze blew past, blowing Fang Xiaonuan’s hair into her face. The wind blew her skirt up as well. Then, the hem of her skirt slowly drifted down again.

The man in a suit in front of them stopped when he sensed someone behind him. Fang Xiaonuan also stopped.

“Why are you following me?” Ji Lingchen turned around and asked.

“Ji Lingchen, let’s move out! Didn’t you promise me before?” Fang Xiaonuan’s eyes were sincere, and her mood was not good. “Do you see what happened today? If I stay at your house any longer, your family will be angry or hospitalized.”

Seeing that Ji Lingchen did not answer, Fang Xiaonuan asked with pleading eyes, “I’m begging you, okay?”
