Encircled, a dark hand pushed Gu Xiaoer from behind without warning, sending her tumbling forward. She fell into the arms of the old man across from her, not even caring about the wine glass that shattered on the ground.
"Gu Xiaoer, why don't you dance with Boss Li? Hahaha..."
Gu Xiaoer panicked, her skin crawling.
"Let go of me!" Now she was truly frantic, pushing and shoving with all her might.
Lin Kexin nestled in Lu Tianze's arms, taking pleasure in Gu Xiaoer's plight and smiled, "Tianze, Boss Li and Xiao Er really do seem like a perfect match!"
Match my ass!
Gu Xiaoer was furious, wishing she could tear Lin Kexin and Lu Tianze apart. Realizing the old man's hand had made contact, she clenched her teeth and mustered all her strength to slap the man.
"Get away!"
The crisp sound brought the bustling banquet to a sudden halt.
Everyone stood stunned, not reacting, while Gu Xiaoer made a break for the door.
Suddenly, the room erupted behind her, "Woman, how dare you hit me?!"
"Catch her, don't let her escape..."
"We must catch her today..."
Gu Xiaoer ran desperately, throwing anything she could find behind her. Her only thought was to get out of there, or else she would die a horrible death...
The venue was a mess, but Lin Kexin, the hostess, didn't appear to be angry at all; the pleasure and triumph in her eyes were unmistakable. What she wanted was to see Gu Xiaoer's distress, to have her trampled on the ground at the mercy of others...
As long as Gu Xiaoer was miserable, she was happy.
A woman's speed couldn't match a man's, and Gu Xiaoer, in her high heels, was quickly caught by Boss Li's bodyguards.
"Where do you think you're running! Woman, you are dead today, no one can save you!" Boss Li bellowed, his flesh trembling with rage.
Gu Xiaoer was terrified, trembling incessantly. She didn't know what Boss Li would do to her and dared not hope that someone at the event would come to her rescue...
Closing her eyes, large drops fell to the ground.
Just when she was in utter despair, suddenly, the noisy entrance of the banquet hall fell silent.
The crowd quietly parted to make way for an elegant and noble man who seemed to descend from the heavens, bathed in an aura. His tailored handmade suit highlighted his tall figure, with one hand casually tucked into his pocket, he walked with a measured and composed gait, his presence shimmering under the crystal lights, his sharp gaze commanding attention.
From the moment he entered the hall, all eyes were involuntarily drawn to him, some even gasping at the stunning beauty of this extraordinary man.
Those who had come to attend the wedding were also notable figures, and they were very interested in the appearance of this distinguished man.
Yet, even after racking their brains, they couldn't place who this remarkable man was, making them hesitant to approach and talk to him first, instead whispering to each other in private.
"Who is that? So handsome, I'm about to faint!"
"He must be Kexin's friend, wow, so stylish, later I must ask Kexin to introduce us!"
