She hated herself for being so powerless, unable to protect her.
Her instinct made her look towards Su Yan. She didn't know why, but at this moment, she felt that she could rely on him, that he could save Minhan.
Meeting his gaze calmed her down a bit.
Although he wished that the idiot Minhan could be gotten rid of the moment she stepped out, someone else couldn't bear to part with her. Unfortunately, he happened to be good friends with that someone!
With his comforting gaze, Bai Xue felt reassured.
She didn't know if Su Yan held any other titles apart from being the President of the Su's. However, she knew he was a capable man, and if he remained composed, she had no reason to panic.
After Minhan had been taken away, the auction continued.
"Mrs. Su, since you spoiled everyone's mood today, you should just wait on us!" Su Yan returned to his seat.
Jones Ellie immediately snuggled up against him like a boneless creature, completely ignoring the presence of his official wife, Bai Xue.
Eli believed she could get whatever she wanted!
So what if he had a wife? Even if they were deeply in love, she could break them apart, let alone if they were not!
Bai Xue was a patient person who knew when to assert herself. She knew this was not her territory, and she had to tolerate, but she would remember this.
She, Bai Xue, had a policy of an eye for an eye!
There were no unbeatable enemies in this world, only people who did not make efforts!
"You, bring me a glass of orange juice." Since Mrs. Su was now a servant, of course, Ellie could order her around.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xue brought the glass of orange juice over.
Ellie stretched out her leg, intending to trip Bai Xue, to watch her fall flat on her face.
Who knew that Bai Xue would step on her foot with her seven-inch heels. Just when Ellie opened her mouth to scream in pain, Bai Xue exclaimed and lunged at Ellie along with everything from her tray.
Then, Ellie's shrieks filled the room.
Her perfect makeup! Her expensive dress! Her dignity!
"I'm so sorry! I'm sorry!" Bai Xue grabbed a dirty napkin and began wiping Ellie's face.
As one could imagine, after Bai Xue's apology, Ellie's face was not fit to be seen.
"Someone get this insane woman off me!" She screamed.
Before the security could intervene, Su Yan yanked Bai Xue up, skillfully pushed her aside, then helped Ellie up and comforted her. Turning towards Bai Xue sitting on the floor, he snapped, "How could you be so clumsy!"
His actions made it seem like he harshly tossed his own wife aside for another woman, and then scolded her mercilessly.
Everyone couldn't help but sympathize with Bai Xue..
Especially when Bai Xue was sitting on the ground, her big eyes welling up with unshed tears, she looked so resilient that it made the men at the feast feel even more sorry for her. Some of them even wanted to help her up and comfort her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't expect her foot to suddenly come out, I accidentally stepped on it and fell down..."
Her explanation made everyone look at Ellie, their eyes full of disapproval.
Why would her foot suddenly stretch out like that?
Wasn't it to trip her?
This outcome was indeed her own fault!
Even Jones Finno looked at his daughter reproachfully. Her actions were really unbecoming of her status.
Ellie had never been so humiliated before. She buried her head in Su Yan's chest, mortified.
"Useless thing, get out of here!"
