Jin Yan tilted his head and stared at his mother.
"Mommy, please behave properly and learn how to act like a lady. You're going to scare these people away!" Jin Yan was provoking his mother.
The other people inside the room started laughing after hearing the boy's words.
Jin Yan, however, maintained a serious expression on his face.
The woman's temper flared up as she glared at her son. She was about to teach Jin Yan a lesson.
"Shen Lingxi!" Suddenly, Xia Weiyang's voice rang out.
She was Xia Weiyang's best friend.
Since it had been many years since they last saw each other, it took a while for Xia Weiyang to recognize the woman standing in front of her.
Upon hearing her name, Shen Lingxi raised her eyes and saw Xia Weiyang. She couldn't help but widen her eyes as well. She immediately released Jin Yan and pointed at Xia Weiyang. "Xia Weiyang!" she excitedly said.
The corners of Xia Weiyang's mouth twitched violently as she stared at Shen Lingxi.
Despite her beautiful appearance, it seemed her behavior had not changed at all.
"Where have you been? I thought I would never see you again!" Shen Lingxi said.
Shen Lingxi was aware of the rumors that Xia Ningyan and Lu Ziyin spread on the Internet about Xia Weiyang. She felt furious while reading about them. She wanted to find Xia Ningyan and Lu Ziyin and beat them up.
She wanted to defend her friend against the people who were attacking her.
As Xia Weiyang's best friend, Shen Lingxi believed it was her duty to stand up for her.
Fortunately for Shen Lingxi, Xia Weiyang had already learned how to fight for herself.
"We have a lot of catching up to do. We should talk somewhere private," Xia Weiyang said.
Xia Weiyang knew that Shen Lingxi was aware of the rumors about her circulating online.
She knew that Shen Lingxi had a lot to say about those rumors.
She also knew that she could depend on Shen Lingxi to defend her from those looking to bully her.
As for Shi Jue, he stood quietly as he watched Xia Weiyang and Shen Lingxi.
Shen Lingxi glanced at the people around her from the corner of her eyes and realized that she seemed to have lost face earlier. However, instead of trying to defend herself, she decided to accept what had just happened.
Shen Lingxi looked at Xia Weiyang with a stern gaze.
Shen Lingxi and Xia Weiyang headed into a private room.
After Shen Lingxi sat down, she realized that Shi Jue was also inside the room. She could not help but look at him with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Initially, Shi Jue wanted to throw her out because he did not like how she was looking at him. However, he knew he couldn't do that since she was Xia Weiyang's friend.
He felt helpless as he quietly sat inside the room.
Shen Lingxi raised her eyebrows while staring at Shi Jue.
"Shi Jue, right? I know you. You're the prince of B City. You're the dream husband of every woman in the city. Although I don't know why you like Xia Weiyang, I still have to warn you. Don't you dare try to have an affair with another woman. You should also never lie to Xia Weiyang."
"If you ever mistreat Xia Weiyang, I'll let you know how powerful I truly am," Shen Lingxi said.
