Ye Wen pinched Pei Qingcheng's palm, and said in a low voice, "I'll be right back."

When Ye Xiu's tired hand had pulled away from the back of her hand, she had actually felt a little flustered.

In this big house filled with people, Ye Xiu accompanied her and did not feel that helpless.

She seemed to sigh softly as she watched his tired back and Lady Ye disappear into the crowd.

Shen Lo's voice rang in his ear. "Mrs. Ye, are you hungry? I'll accompany you to eat something."

When Lady Ye called her Miss Pei, it meant that Lady Ye did not recognize her as Lady Ye Yan, the daughter-in-law of the Ye family.

Shen Li, on the other hand, was clearly a childhood sweetheart of Zhang Ye, but the daughter-in-law whom Madam Ye had decided on was shouting "Madam Ye" one after another.

The people around him, like him, were unfathomable. It was hard to guess what they were thinking.

Pei Qingcheng forced a smile as she replied, "Just call me Pei Qingcheng, or even Qingcheng."

"Okay, Qingcheng." Shen Kui crisply replied, "I've just rushed over from the company, you haven't eaten yet right? I'll get the kitchen to send you a cup of papaya and snow clams to get to the bottom."

As he spoke, he led Pei Qingcheng to a seat at the side of the hall and told her to sit down, "I'll be right back."

Shen Lo was walking on the streets when the wind blew. Pei Qingcheng gazed at his back until the white silhouette of his silhouette disappeared from her line of sight.

Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder and turned around to see that it was Tang Kexin.

Pei Qingcheng was very happy to see someone she could talk to, "But Xin, you're here!"

"Qing Qing, when did you arrive?" Tang Kexin was dressed very beautifully today. It could be seen that she was very meticulously dressed up. The diamond earrings shone brightly under the crystal chandelier.

"Not long ago."

"Oh." Tang Kexin's gaze rested on Pei Qingcheng's clothes, "You look really beautiful in this qipao." As he spoke, he moved to pull it.

She exerted some force, causing Pei Qingcheng to smile as she slapped her hand away, "Lighten your hand, don't break it."

"It's not made of paper, why would high-end goods be damaged?" Tang Ke laughed in his heart. "Let's go and drink something over there."

As soon as Pei Qingcheng sat down, she was dragged away by Tang Kexin.

"Slow down, I heard the fabric being torn apart." Although Shen Lo had given her some expensive clothes, she still felt that the seams had to be sewn at the edges.

"It's not that exaggerated." Tang Kexin held Pei Qingcheng's hand as they walked to the wine area. She casually picked up a cocktail and passed it to Pei Qingcheng: "Here."

The colourful cocktail was so beautiful that it made people forget that it was a glass of wine.

In the few days after she returned to the village, Pei Qingcheng had been drunk twice.

Today was another day at Ye Family's house. It did not matter if she was drunk, but it would be bad if he got tired of losing face.

It was one thing to take someone's money to help them get rid of the calamity, but it was another to not be able to help them get rid of the calamity.

Pei Qingcheng shook her head, "I'm not drinking anymore. I think it's best if I drink some juice!"

Tang Kexin retracted her hand and placed the cup to her lips. She then took a sip and her gaze drifted back and forth among the crowd.

"Who are you looking for?" Pei Qingcheng asked.

"No, I'm not looking for anyone." Tang Kexin scratched her head. The diamond earring she wore suddenly fell to the ground.

"Ya!" Tang Ke anxiously said, "Tilt over, help me pick it up. Last night, I slept on a pillow and couldn't lower my head."

"Alright." Without even thinking about it, Pei Qingcheng crouched down and picked up the earring. At the same time, she heard a sound that only she herself could hear.

"Sssii!"

Suddenly, he felt something cold by his waist. Subconsciously, he reached out his hand to touch it, and a large hole appeared in his qipao.

Pei Qingcheng quickly clutched her waist as her face turned red.

Why was the quality of this qipao so poor?

It was clearly not very tight, so why did it break when it crouched down?

Seeing that Pei Qingcheng had been squatting down and not getting up, Tang Kexin bent down and asked, "What happened?"

"But the heart." Pei Qingcheng said in distress, "My qipao has split open!"

"Ah, no!" He didn't know if Tang Ke was really too surprised, but his voice was loud enough to attract the gazes of the other wives and mistresses.

Pei Qingcheng lowered her voice, "Don't shout, but don't worry. Can you help me get my coat from the housekeeper?"

"Oh." Tang Kexin replied, "Then wait for me here."

"Yes." Luckily, Tang Kexin was here. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to do.

Pei Qingcheng held onto her waist tightly, not daring to move. She knew that the way she was squatting down on the ground was extremely strange, and the few ladies beside her were all staring at her.

But there was nothing she could do. She could only watch!

She could not stand up now. Once she stood, it would leak out, from her armpits all the way to her waist.

Today, the Ye Family had gathered almost all of the nobles and officials of the Mo City. If they were to make a fool of themselves here, it would be equivalent to throwing away all their face in the circle of famous people in the Mo City.

At the same time, Pei Qingcheng's mind was spinning fast.

Her qipao was a famous item, and today was her first time wearing it. The only possibility was that someone had done something to it.

This qipao was sent over by Shen Du from afar, so who else could it be other than her?

Why was she so defenseless?

She dared to casually wear clothes given to her by a stranger?

It was too late to regret it now. She could only hope that Tang Kexin would hurry up and bring her clothes over.

However, why didn't Tang Kexin come back after half a day with a set of clothes in her hands?

Shen Lo's voice rang out from the top of her head, "Qingcheng, what are you doing squatting here? Does your stomach hurt?"

What was there to be afraid of? Pei Qingcheng bit her lower lip.

It seemed like Shen Kui Long was quite good, she just happened to appear when her clothes were damaged.

Pei Qingcheng's palms were moist, and her back was covered in a fine layer of sweat due to her nervousness.

She remained silent, but Shen also squatted down. In his hand was a tray with a small cup.

She tilted her head and sized up Pei Qingcheng, "Qingcheng, are you not feeling well?"

Shen's eyes were clear and innocent.

What a good actor. He knew how to control his emotions and his eyes.

Pei Qingcheng laughed mockingly. What happened next, would Shen Mi Long pull her up forcefully and humiliate her in front of so many people?

If she were to stand up, she would be able to clearly see the undergarments beneath!

Sure enough, Shen Cui approached Pei Qingcheng and placed the tray on the ground. One of his hands grabbed her wrist, "Let me help you up first!"

Pei Qingcheng did not dare to shake off her hand because her hand was tightly holding onto her waist.

"Don't touch me!" Pei Qingcheng called out in a suppressed voice.

However, Shen Cui had already pulled Pei Qingcheng up. The moment she stood up, she was already so embarrassed that she was about to die.

Suddenly, Shen Cui pulled himself closer to her, using her body to block the part where Pei Qingcheng's clothes were torn apart. His other hand wrapped around her waist, and he opened his eyes wide in shock as he asked, "Why is her clothes torn?"

Her acting skills were truly outstanding. Pei Qingcheng coldly snorted, "I also find it strange that Miss Shen has underestimated my body size. Her clothes split the moment she squats down."

In any case, things had already come to this point. Shen Lo had come all the way to humiliate her!

Since he couldn't avoid it, he might as well face it!

At this moment, a few people had already walked over to them. As long as Shen Du was able to jump away from Pei Qingcheng, then tonight, she would be giving benefits to all the men in the banquet.

"Qingcheng." Shen Lo's tone sounded even more nervous than her. "Stay close to me. I'll take you to the elevator. First, I'll put on my clothes."

What more was Shen Kui planning to do now?

Now, as long as he left her side, her meticulous scheme would be successful!

Pei Qingcheng did not know if she should follow Shen Cui all the way. In reality, she had no other choice.

At that moment, weariness and Madame Ye came towards them from the other side of the hall.

Oh, Pei Qingcheng finally understood.

Shen Lo Long didn't embarrass her just now because she was too tired and Madam Ye hadn't come. Now was the right time.

She wanted to make Pei Qingcheng a clown in front of Madam Ye.

High, it really was high.

She laughed despairingly at herself.

When Ye Wen approached them, Pei Qingcheng did not say anything. Shen Lo then lowered his voice and said, "Brother, help Qingcheng rest in my room."

Ye Wen immediately discovered that Pei Qingcheng's face was deathly pale, and his gaze subconsciously flashed past her waist. He then quickly took off his jacket and wrapped it around her, "Qing Qing, let's enter the elevator."

As he spoke, he carried Pei Qingcheng towards the elevator.

A scene that made her feel embarrassed did not appear?

Pei Qingcheng furrowed her brows as she followed Nightingale to the elevator. Hearing Shen Lo's voice, she said, "Aunt, I'm Chen Dong from Science and Trade International. I'm here to look for you."

"What happened to Pei Qingcheng?" Madam Ye asked curiously.

"I rushed over as soon as I got off work. I haven't had any dinner yet because of my stomachache." Shen Kui said.

Pei Qingcheng stepped into the elevator, and the conversation between Shen Kui and Madam Ye was no longer audible.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Pei Qingcheng tightly held onto her clothes as she leaned against the interior of the elevator.

Fortunately, things were not as serious as she had imagined.

However, she was even more confused.

It was clearly Shen Li's chance to humiliate her, so why didn't he make use of it?

Wasn't that why she gave her a piece of junk?

Ye Wen helped Pei Qingcheng into Shen Lai's room. After that, he asked her to sit on the sofa and went into the cloakroom. Soon, she came out with a dress in her hands.

"You should be about the same size as Long distance."

Pei Qingcheng took the dress from Ye Wen and walked into her bedroom to change without saying anything.

He specially pulled on his new clothes before he changed. He didn't even cut off the tag. It seemed to be new and of good quality. This time, it wouldn't mysteriously crack.

She changed her clothes and walked out, tossing the qipao in her hands onto the table.

"The clothes given to me by Miss Shen are really fragile. The top half an hour after I put them on, my upper body was already ripped open." Pei Qingcheng pointed at the big hole on her clothes and said to Ye Wen.

Ye Wen spread out his clothes and saw that at the seams on the side of the cheongsam, there were originally two artificially made marks, and the root of the thread inside had been cut off.

Thus, it was obvious with a single glance that this piece of clothing had been artificially tampered with.

Someone had cut the seams on the inside, and the ones on the outside had not been cut. This kind of clothes could be worn but could not withstand the onslaught.

Ye Wen's eyes turned cold. He picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number. "Long distance, come up."
