She had never thought of asking Ling Jinghan to apologize, as long as she could maintain her dignity as Ting Ye.
Ling Jinghan's heart was filled with hatred, but her expression remained calm. It was hard to tell how panicked she was. However, those close to her noticed that the muscles on her originally slender and soft arm had actually tensed up.
"Oh? From the beginning to the end, I never said that I was pushed down the stairs by Miss Mu.
Ling Jinghan's voice was not loud. She forced a smile on her face. The tension was so strong that it could be ignored. This was the best expression she could maintain.
Ting Ye wasn't the only one stunned by these words. Even Ling Gui, who was standing below the stage, had a pale and red face.
A moment later, Ling Gui's expression returned to normal, but that elegance had completely disappeared.
Previously, she was the only one who had interrogated Mu Qianqian. Ling Jinghan had said that she was pestering Mu Qianqian out of boredom, and now that the matter had been exposed, she was the one to blame for everything.
Did Ling Jinghan want her to help her take on Rong Heting's anger? As Ling Gui thought of this, her gaze towards Ling Jinghan became more and more unfriendly.
She had personally carried the child back from the orphanage. Today, she was the one who took action to protect Ling Jinghan. Unexpectedly, she was tricked by a substitute that she taught herself.
"Ting Ye, although you did this to protect your friend and even dared to anger your master, you seem to have forgotten that Heting hosted this banquet for my birthday. It is only natural for me to be angry."
Ling Jinghan raised her hand to cover her forehead, but the smile on her face once again became her best cover.
"Clearly, you have succeeded. My dinner party has been disrupted by you, and the interest of the guests has probably been disrupted. "
Ting Ye spat out blood in anger at Ling Jinghan's words, "Didn't you say that Qianqian pushed you? Now you refuse to admit it!" What a shame! "
After saying that, Ting Ye's gaze shifted to Mrs Ling Gui, who was standing below the stage.
She was no longer in the mood to talk anymore. Everyone here had ears, so Mrs Ling Gui's words would not be enough to cover it up.
Ting Lan stood below the stage, watching Ting Ye being manipulated by Ling Jinghan as if she was a gun. She was also extremely anxious.
Finally, she looked at Rong Heting, who seemed to be enjoying the wine like an outsider. Ting Lan lowered her head again and could only suppress her emotions.
Her young master's intention was obvious, she had already understood his intentions. Ting Ye's actions could be considered as the young master's tacit approval. Otherwise, Ting Ye would not have had the chance to say everything she wanted to say.
But for the woman who defended Mu Qianqian and attacked her Ling Family, the one who would suffer in the end would only be Ting Ye.
Mrs Ling Gui's noble and threatening formal attire originally did not appear out of the blue in the banquet hall. However, when Ting Ye's mocking words fell, everyone's gaze turned bright.
Mrs Ling Gui had experienced a lot of things and was not someone who could not hold it in. She restrained the emotion in her eyes and slowly walked closer. She didn't look at Mu Qianqian but faced Rong Heting instead.
"Sorry, Young Master Rong, I was too emotional today. I hope that Young Master Rong doesn't take the rudeness to heart. After all, it's Jinghan's birthday. It's not the result that we, Mrs Wen and Eldest Young Master want to see because of all the unpleasantness that we caused, but it's because I passed. "
Ting Ye curled her lips in disdain at Mrs Ling Gui's attitude. However, she didn't say anything more.
At this moment, Mu Qianqian also understood the situation a little. Looking at the elder apologizing below, she frowned slightly …
When he was questioning her about pushing people aside, Mrs Ling Gui had said that it was her master's attitude. Now that the truth had been revealed, she had to take responsibility. She had once again become a servant of Ling Family, pushing everything onto her own family.
It looked like he was in the right place to advance or retreat, with his delicate features. However, in essence, he was just a hypocrite.
The reason why he brought out Mrs Wen and Ling Ao was because he wanted to play a hand in marriage with Rong Heting. Moreover, he claimed that he had put his old age on the table, so it would be rude for Rong Heting to pursue this matter.
Mu Qianqian lowered her head and stopped looking at Rong Heting's expression. She did not expect Rong Heting to do anything that would ruin her reputation.
Mu Qianqian thought with a hint of frustration. She was very satisfied with herself. Who knew how much energy she had gained from watching the show. She had been too impulsive today.
Just when everyone thought Rong Heting would take the opportunity to express that he didn't mind, there was no reply for a long time.
Time passed second by second. When nearly 5 minutes had passed and Rong Heting still hadn't said a word, everyone who was casually lowering their heads to wait for the outcome to be settled once again focused their eyes on the stage.
In the silence, someone brought a chair for Rong Heting. Rong Heting sat down and shook the goblet in his hand until all the bubbles on the goblet were gone. Only then did he taste the wine slowly.
His gaze was locked on the wine, as if he were indifferent to everything around him, as if he were not the one who had been staring at Mu Qianqian with such intensity.
