Zhang Haimie's insults became increasingly harsh.
Many people at the scene paid attention to her.
However, Gu Qingqing showed no intention of arguing or caring.
She simply nodded politely and turned to leave.
But Zhang Haimie wasn't pleased.
Seeing that Gu Qingqing ignored her and was about to leave, she became even more furious.
She grabbed Gu Qingqing's hand and shouted, "You little s_lut, today I'll make sure to beat you to death!"
Saying so, she raised her hand high, ready to slap Gu Qingqing's delicate cheek hard.
Although the thin and delicate Gu Qingqing was treated like this by the fat Zhang Haimie, it looked very pitiful.
But the people around silently watched the scene unfold.
Because Gu Qingqing was a commoner and no one cared.
Zhang Haimie knew this and dared to be so arrogant.
She enjoyed being the center of attention.
However, just as her hand was about to slap Gu Qingqing's face, someone suddenly grabbed it tightly.
"That's enough."
"Who dares to interfere in my territory?!"
Zhang Haimie arrogantly cursed, wanting to slap the newcomer's face.
But before she could do anything, her fat face was slapped hard.
With a crisp sound, it echoed throughout the banquet hall.
"Don't be disrespectful to Young Master!" Yu Xuanwei, who had just acted, looked at Zhang Haimie with cold eyes, even with a hint of killing intent in her eyes.
Splash!
Zhang Mu casually splashed the red wine in his hand onto Zhang Haimie's oily face. Then he smiled and asked, "Feeling sober now?"
By now, Zhang Haimie had clearly seen Zhang Mu's face and looked terrified.
Li Wu hurried over as well. He nodded and bowed to Zhang Mu, "Sorry, young master! We're sorry! It's our fault!"
"My wife got a bit carried away just now. Please forgive her, sir!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I... I got carried away! Young Master Zhang Mu, I was blinded by my jealousy! Causing trouble in the Zhang family, I'm really sorry!"
Zhang Haimie also quickly begged for forgiveness.
Because of extreme fear, the fat on her body was trembling frantically.
Cold sweat flowed down her large forehead. Zhang Mu showed a standard playboy smile and said softly, "Your biggest mistake wasn't causing a scene in the banquet hall, but trying to harm my people, understand?"
"Is Gu Qingqing yours?!"
Li Wu and Zhang Haimie's legs went weak, almost collapsing to the ground.
They kneeled down and begged for mercy, slapping themselves while pleading, "Sorry, Young Master Zhang Mu! We really didn't know she was yours!"
"If we knew, even if we had ten times the courage, we wouldn't dare to touch her!"
Zhang Mu didn't bother to deal with them.
He waved his hand and said, "Expel them from the Zhang family and cancel the protection of Li Wu and Zhang Haimie's families."
Immediately, guards came and forcibly took the two away, ignoring their wailing.
The surrounding nobles watched this scene without daring to make a sound.
After all, compared to Zhang Mu, who came from the influential Zhang family, people like Zhang Haimie, Li Wu, and even themselves were just commoners!
So, they dared not speak, keeping quiet one by one.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Mu's face revealed the typical arrogant smile of a playboy villain.
Being a brainless and wealthy second-generation villain was enjoyable.
He could do whatever he wanted, directly taking advantage of others.
Who cares about reputation? Just act recklessly!
After taking advantage of others, Zhang Mu, pretending to be a playboy villain, smirked and turned back.
He was ready to look at Gu Qingqing.
According to the original plot, she would be the same as in her previous life. She pretended to be moved to tears and expressed thanks to him.
If it hadn't been for Zhang Mu's showing up, she would indeed have been in big trouble.
