What could she say? Was she going to debate whether she had looked at Rong Heting in front of everyone?
No matter what she said, Rong Heting would lose face and the blame would fall on her.
The matter of him following Rong Heting had already been made public while she was playing the zither.
However, if this special relationship was displayed in public, it would still be extremely embarrassing.
The woman in front of him allowed him to see where he was. But was this the position she wanted to stand in?
Mu Qianqian lowered her head, clutching her skirt with both hands, not knowing what to say.
The banquet hall became even quieter. Ling Gui didn't say anything else and just stood there quietly, waiting.
Mu Qianqian was helpless as she didn't like being watched by so many people, but she quickly calmed down.
She took a deep breath. When everyone thought that she would cry or show her weakness by seeking Rong Heting's protection, she only looked at the woman who had been forcing her.
"I don't think what I was looking at or doing had anything to do with Miss Ling rolling down the stairs."
"It's exactly because I know my identity that I'm standing behind Miss Ling. I don't want to fight over Miss Ling's halo."
"I didn't know it was Miss Ling's birthday before, so I'm sorry for offending you."
"But right now, please look away from me. After all, I really don't want to fight over the master."
As Mu Qianqian finished her sentence, the entire banquet hall was filled with gasps.
No one dared to believe Mu Qianqian would say such a thing, as if she didn't mind offending Ling Family at all. Besides, this girl was standing on the second floor with enough confidence.
Not just anyone could cause such a ruckus.
However, she was able to do it with the girl beside Rong Heting.
Whether it was her talent or her stunning looks. The coquettish red dress and the sparkle in her eyes made her the most eye-catching existence in the entire banquet.
And now, she was using her own attitude to tell everyone that she was capable enough to be the main character of the party, but she just didn't do it.
Ling Gui was so angry by Mu Qianqian that her breathing rose and fell. The smile on her face became even more ironic, and her words contained traces of coldness.
"Why do you want to know about Miss Mu? Miss Mu is the only person standing behind Jinghan. When she rolled down the stairs, someone told me that she hadn't even had the time to withdraw her hand. "
"…"
Isn't that clear enough? We Jinghan all year round red carpet stand up, never have not slipped up! As the Queen of Shadows, she has walked through countless red carpet, especially since today was her birthday party and her most beloved person was standing below, so would she miss her footing? "
"…"
"I'm afraid it's not a mistake, it's someone who did it on purpose!"
Ling Gui's words finally made all the guests look at each other in dismay.
From a whisper, the last sounds of discussion gradually grew louder. Mu Qianqian stood on the stage and heard everything clearly.
She could spell out a fact, even if it was a jumble of words.
Everyone was sure that she was the one who had pushed Ling Jinghan down. She had intended to grab Ling Jinghan's falling body, but at this moment, she had become the most direct evidence that she had become the murderer!
It was also because of her unbearable status that she had taken all the reasons to hurt Ling Jinghan.
Mu Qianqian had managed to calm herself down after coming to this conclusion.
Having experienced this too many times, she no longer felt anything.
It was the same every time. She clearly hadn't done anything, but the responsible person had somehow become her.
She really couldn't explain why Ling Jinghan would fall down the stairs for no apparent reason.
The dress she was wearing was not very long in order to expose the pair of expensive shoes on her feet. It was also impossible for her to step on the corner of her skirt.
Mu Qianqian could clearly recall how Ling Jinghan's body didn't even stagger before she fell to the ground. Her palm was still on the banister when Rong Heting was standing below her.
How did Ling Jinghan fall? She fell down on purpose!
Just to deal with her, Ling Jinghan had done something to hurt herself.
But could she say it out loud?
At such a moment, if she said that Ling Jinghan had fallen, would anyone believe it?
Mu Qianqianna was speechless and didn't even have the strength to deny it. There were actually a few people standing behind her.
For example, the security personnel and service personnel on the second floor, but no one came out to explain the current situation.
This was already telling her that any further explanation would only add to the joke of the whole dinner party.
Ling Gui was originally glaring angrily at Mu Qianqian. After a long silence, she snorted coldly and turned to face Rong Heting, as if looking at Mu Qianqian with disdain.
"Young Master Rong, I came this time to see how Jinghan is doing on behalf of my family's Mrs Wen. I brought her friends here on her birthday just to make Jinghan happy, but the Miss Mu beside you is really going too far today!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Rong Heting. Although Ling Gui had only complained once, everyone knew that this was Ling Gui waiting for an explanation.
Ling Jinghan, who had been holding her arm with her head lowered, seemed to have finally recovered from her shock.
He stepped forward and grabbed Ling Gui's skirt, shaking his head while sighing.
"Aunt Gui, don't be like this, you're just a child. Impulse is inevitable when you're young, don't make things difficult for Heting, it will make him lose face."
Ling Gui grasped Ling Jinghan's hand with a pained expression. "No, Aunt Gui would have tolerated it on a normal day, but today is your birthday, so she's going too far!" Even if Old Man Rong Family is here, he will definitely make the decision for you! "
"Jinghan has some things that are inconvenient to say, so Aunt Gui has no choice but to be the bad guy!"
Ling Jinghan and Ling Gui didn't avoid the crowd at all with their question and answer session. Everyone looked at Rong Heting again, waiting for his decision.
The Rong and Ling Families were old friends, but in reality, everyone could imagine the outcome.
The host, who was standing on the stage to interview Rong Heting, also left. Rong Heting stood there lightly. From the moment Mu Qianqian spoke, he had been looking at the petite figure on the stage.
He could see that she was afraid, but he forced himself to calm down. When Ling Gui had insulted her, he had stubbornly retorted, but he was powerless to explain.
She stood there so lonely and weak that he wanted to take her in his arms.
But no, not yet.
Rong Heting retracted his gaze and looked at Ling Gui. There was a slight curve on his lips, but no one could tell what he was thinking.
"Aunt Gui, I really don't know when the main character of this banquet will change."
Ling Gui didn't expect Rong Heting to have this kind of attitude. She wanted to explain herself, but Rong Heting didn't give her the chance to speak.
"Although the manor belongs to a private place and is not equipped with surveillance, I had purposely arranged for people to take pictures of Jinghan from different angles in order to record Jinghan's most beautiful moments. This is to leave Jinghan as a souvenir during the post-production period."
"…"
"If Aunt Gui is interested, I can let it out for everyone to see who the real host of this banquet is."
Ling Jinghan's fingers trembled inexplicably, she could hear Rong Heting's anger.
When Ling Gui wanted to say something, Ling Jinghan grabbed onto Ling Gui's hand and shook her head.
Ignoring the awkward situation she was in, Ling Jinghan walked to Rong Heting's side with a smile.
