The voice was very familiar. So familiar that it made Ye Shenggeâs heart pound.
Whatever she was afraid of came true. She tried to shake herself free, but Ms. Xu tightened her grip.
If it werenât for the fact that she was in the wrong, she wouldâve thrown the woman over her shoulder.
Ms. Xu sneered and stopped being bossy, but she still looked arrogant.
âYoung Master Xiao, sheâs your guest, and so am I.â She glared at Ye Shengge. âShouldnât I punish her for dirtying my gown?â
âThereâs a cloakroom on the cruise, Ms. Xu. You can choose any gown you want,â said Xiao Ruilang gently. âDonât make things difficult for this poor lady. Leave her to me.â
âWho is she to you, Young Master Xiao?â Ms. Xu looked even more pissed, and her tone wasnât respectful. âWhat if I want her to pay?â
In her opinion, Xiao Ruilang was just a rich kid who didnât have much say in the Xiao family, so she didnât think much of him.
Xiao Ruilang could tell that this woman didnât think much of him. He smiled, but his eyes flashed with coldness.
âSeems like Ms. Xu doesnât want to give me face...â
âIf Young Master Xiao wonât do, what about mine?â
Two male voices sounded at the same time. One was gloomy, while the other was deep and furious.
Ye Shengge couldnât help wishing she had the ability to burrow into the ground.
Miss Xu looked at the source of the second voice and her face changed, âMr... Mr. Ji?â
The Xu family relied on the Ji family for business, so she didnât dare offend Ji Shiting, otherwise, the elders in the family wouldnât let her go.
However... Where had this woman come from? How was she able to get Xiao Ruilang and Ji Shiting to speak up for her? Especially Ji Shiting, who was known for being aloof.
âLet go.â Ji Shiting walked out of the crowd. He seemed furious, and his eyes were dark.
Ms. Xu couldnât help shivering and let go of Ye Shengge.
Ye Shengge took a few steps back and forced a smile at Xiao Ruilang. âThank you, Young Master Xiao.â
Xiao Ruilang looked away from Ji Shiting and smiled.
âYouâre welcome. Itâs my fault for scaring the guests.â His voice was gentle. âWhy donât I take you to your room to rest?â
âNo need...â Ye Shengge smiled and turned to Ji Shiting.â Thank you for your help, Mr. Ji... Um, my partner is still waiting for me. â
She then turned around to look for Qin Youhui.
âStop right there.â The manâs deep and hoarse voice was as cold as ever, but Ye Shengge could already read his emotions. She knew that he must be furious.
She wanted to walk forward without looking back, but she stopped, and her back broke out in cold sweat.
She couldnât help cursing herself.
She gritted her teeth, turned around and looked at Ji Shiting and Xie Siqi, who was smiling behind him. She pretended to be calm and said, âIs there something, Mr. Ji?â
