"Ge'er! why the rush?You don't normally drink your wine in one gulp,is something wrong?And brother Xiao Min,I can see that Changle has not gotten over your rejection that is why she is trying so hard to win back your favour,so you don't have to ignore her in such a brutal manner at least we were ones friends and as you know she likes attracting attention to herself",Xiao Bai said mockingly. Just remembering the fact that she was once friends with this kind of girl almost made her throw up.

"I'm I obliged to answer her greetings?I can see that she is still as proud and manipulative as ever",Xiao Min replied without directly glancing at Changle.He also despise her more than his little sister did.

"And you are still as love-sick as ever.I can't believe your feelings has not yet change",Lie Changle fired back sharply.

"Can you guys stop fighting?You are giving me an headache",Lie Ruge shouted startling both Xiao Min and Xiao Bai in the process.

"What's wrong with you Ge'er? You have being acting a bit strange since earlier. I hope you are OK?"Xiao Bai with concerned. She find the situation very strange,no matter how angry Ge'er was,she has never raised her voice on anyone before. She rather stay quiet than to raise her voice on someone..

"I feel a little uneasy,my throat feels dry too. Brother Xiao Min,can I get a glass of water because I feel very thirsty?",Lie Ruge asked. Xiao Min did not waste much time,he stood up to bring a glass of water for her and before they knew what was happening he was back with a glass of water for her. Due to Lie Ruge's shout earlier,everyone's attention was focused on their table.

Lie Ruge took the glass of water from Xiao Min and drank the content in one gulp. Xiao Bai was already sitting close to her now. She tried to calm her down but Lie Ruge became more agitated. Lie Ruge started messing up her hair and then she tried to pull off her shoes but Xiao Bai stopped her from doing so.

"Ruge, do you realize that we are still in the ballroom?You are not in your bedroom for crying out loud so stop undressing yourself here. If you knew you didn't have high alcohol tolerance then you shouldn't have drank the wine",Lie Changle said scoffingly while smirking devilishly. Xiao Bai saw her smirk although she did it discreetly. She immediately knew that something was wrong with the wine,she should have been extra careful around this cunning girl.

"Ge'er! don't worry,I will protect you no matter what",Xiao Bai whispered into Lie Ruge's ears.

"Brother Xiao Min,can you get the car ready because I think Ge'er is not feeling too well?",Xiao Bai asked.

"I will get to it now but don't you need help in taking her to the car?",Xiao Min asked anxiously.

"I can handle it and if the two of us were to escort her outside,it will raise an alarm. You just have to wait for us outside. We will be out in a jiffy",Xiao Bai said while trying to sound less worried.

"Ok,see you then",Xiao Min replied while walking to the exit. Lie Changle who was watching and listening to their conversation immediately sworn into action. She was eagerly waiting for Xiao Min to step out of the ballroom. She didn't want him to ruin her plans.

"Where do you think you are going to Miss Xiao Bai?",Changle asked while blocking her path.

"Wow!you have finally shown your true colours but don't be so happy because you are not yet the winner. I made the mistake of not dealing with you the last time we met but this time I will make you pay no matter what",Xiao Bai replied angrily.

"I can't wait to see you do that but before then don't even think about stepping out of this ballroom with your reputation still intact Ok",Lie Changle said while holding tightly unto Xiao Bai's wrist. Xiao Bai could not defend herself since she was holding unto Lie Ruge with her other hand. Lie Changle made sure to apply more force to the wrist which made shrink in pains. Xiao Bai struggled to pull out her hand from her grip but it didn't do any good and she did not want to let go of Lie Ruge or else she will fall down.

"Changle, do you realize that you are hurting me?Let go of my hands while I'm still being nice",Xiao Bai warned her.

In the darkest part of the room,three men were sitting down monitoring every activities going on inside the ballroom. They had a good view of whatever was going on in the ballroom.

"What the hell does that girl think she is doing?How dare she bullies sister-in-law and Miss Xiao Bai in such a manner?I better teach her a lesson so that next time she will know who she is dealing with",Yun Yi said while standing up in anger.

"Don't you know sister-in-law's temperament again?She wouldn't want us to interfere and why do you think Third bro is feeling so relaxed like this after seeing his woman being bullied. It is because he trust that sister-in-law is capable of taking care of herself but I just feel bad for Miss Xiao Bai,her wrist might get dislocated if something is not done about it",Tan Fan replied.

"That is why I have to stop this from happening",Yun Yi said disturbed.

"You don't have to worry about that. Miss Lie's bodyguards are there to protect her. And I can see one of the ladies bodyguard squeezing her way to rescue her so let's see what is going to happen",Tan Fan assured him.

"Hurting you?I careless about that and I can do even more than breaking your wrist and nothing will happen to me because I am LIE CHANGLE?",Lie Changle replied while signalling to her father to carry out the plan.She still continued to exerted more force to Xiao Bai's wrist. By now Xiao Bai was sweating due to the unbearable pain emitting from her wrist. She felt like bursting out in tears but she will never give Lie Changle the pleasure to see her cry. Ge'er!trained her to be stronger than that so she has to fight the pains.

BANG!!!!!!

Before Xiao Bai could say Jack,a deafening slap echoed in the ballroom despite all the people's chattering. Everyone was shocked."What just happened?",everyone asked his/her partner. If not that they saw Changle holding her face,they wouldn't have known what had just happened.

The impact of the slap made Changle took a few steps backward. She couldn't hear a single sound for a whole five minutes. She was stupefied but her father's voice from the microphone stopped her from attacking Lie Ruge.

"Hello everyone,please clap your hands together as CEO Lie comes to address us",Lie Feitian spoke. He was so happy that his daughter's plan has just succeeded.
