Chapter 36: Banquet Accident
Chapter Thirty-Six: Banquet Accident（
The banquet couldn’t officially start for a while, and Qing Tian felt bored. She walked around aimlessly, looking around, and happened to run into Ji Weiwei.
Ji Weiwei wasn’t surprised to see her at all, looking down on her. Dressed in a snow-white evening dress, she walked over with a smile, looking like an angel fallen to earth under the light.
Qing Tian stood still and watched her, waiting for her to speak.
Beside Ji Weiwei was a woman who seemed to come from a prestigious family. Like Ji Weiwei, she looked at Qing Tian arrogantly.
Ji Weiwei raised her wine glass and deliberately spilled it on Qing Tian’s dress. The red liquid poured onto her skirt without a drop left. The silk fabric was instantly stained wine-red.
Ji Weiwei laughed as she spilled it, completely disregarding Qing Tian. People around noticed what was happening, but they all stood by and watched the show.
Qing Tian wasn’t surprised at all. She just watched Ji Weiwei finish pouring the red wine, then let out a cold laugh.
The woman beside Ji Weiwei was quite surprised. She asked with some concern, “Weiwei, are you okay?”
Ji Weiwei looked at Qing Tian and gave her a thumbs-up, saying, “Qing Tian, let’s see how long you can stay calm!”
Qing Tian let out a cold laugh. “Miss Ji, it’s truly rare to meet someone as considerate as you! Is this a good welcome gift for guests from the host? It truly is the ladylike demeanor only you, Ji Weiwei, would possess.”
After speaking, Qing Tian walked past Ji Weiwei expressionlessly towards the restroom.
Ji Weiwei was enraged by Qing Tian’s words but couldn’t lash out.
Qing Tian, although she had bravely spoken those words to Ji Weiwei just now, went into the restroom and looked at the stain on her clothes with annoyance. She tried to wash the stain off with water, but it wouldn’t come off.
What should she do? She was supposed to dance the first dance with Ji Xiangyu soon. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for him if she went out like this? Many people in the banquet hall were already laughing at her. If she went out like this, wouldn’t she truly become the laughingstock of the night?
Just as she was agonizing over this, the restroom door was pushed open.
It turned out Ji Weiwei had followed her to the restroom. Seeing Qing Tian distressed about the stain on her clothes, she said smugly, “This dress must be handmade, right? Didn’t you know handmade clothes can’t be washed? After washing it, this dress is ruined. What do you think Brother Yu will think? Hahaha…”
Qing Tian said dejectedly, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Ji Weiwei said with a cold laugh, “If I had said so earlier, how could I have shown how unsophisticated you are? Hahaha… Don’t think Cinderella can turn into a phoenix; a country bumpkin will always be a country bumpkin.”
Qing Tian helplessly stopped washing. She glanced coldly at Ji Weiwei and said in a detached tone, “We don’t have any grudges, do we? You’re targeting me everywhere. What is the reason?”
Ji Weiwei was usually quite gentle and elegant, but these past few times she seemed ruthless. Qing Tian didn’t understand why Ji Weiwei had become like this.
Upon hearing Qing Tian’s words, Ji Weiwei immediately became furious. “You can only consider yourself unlucky to have a sister like Song Shishi. If she hadn’t left so quickly, she would have been the one to suffer this treatment tonight, not you.”
Qing Tian tried to reason with Ji Weiwei. “Emotions can’t be forced. Besides, Li Minghao made it clear, he doesn’t love you at all. Why are you still so persistent?”
Ji Weiwei shouted excitedly, “Shut up, you shut up! Haozi loves me, it’s me, Ji Weiwei! What is Song Shishi? She’s just Haozi’s plaything for a while!”
Qing Tian felt Ji Weiwei had gone mad. She didn’t want to argue with her anymore and looked for an opportunity to escape. But as soon as she walked past Ji Weiwei, she was grabbed by the hand and pushed into the restroom. Ji Weiwei then locked the door from the outside with something.
Qing Tian struggled and banged on the door, saying, “Ji Weiwei, are you crazy? Let me out!”
Ji Weiwei said with a cold laugh from outside, “Don’t you want to steal the spotlight? Don’t you want to dance the first dance with Brother Yu? Don’t dream about it, not even for a second. Hmph…”
Song Shishi muttered to herself outside again, “Last time I accidentally pushed you down the stairs, and you made Song Shishi get revenge on me. You, woman, appear calm and indifferent to everything on the surface, but in your heart, you are more wicked than anyone. How can a woman like you deserve Brother Yu’s love? You don’t deserve it!”
Qing Tian didn’t understand Ji Weiwei’s words. What did she mean by Shishi getting revenge on her? Why couldn’t she understand any of it!
She heard the sound of high heels walking away. Despairingly, she banged on the door inside the restroom, but there was no response from outside.
“Is anyone there? Let me out quickly…”
Finally, she slumped to the ground powerlessly, mocking herself in her heart.
She had already felt honored to receive all of this. Whether she could dance the first dance with Ji Xiangyu was no longer important.
She sighed helplessly in the restroom, thinking to herself: Ji Xiangyu, I’m sorry I can’t fulfill your birthday wish!
