The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

So she strutted to the center of the commotion and said in a voice loud enough for many people to hear, "Is this one of Star Art International's antics? You are pushing all the blame to her since you were unable to manage your employees properly?" 'Tsk, since you want to defend Li Lanni, you can perish together.' 

Si Yulin was displeased, but this was Miss Ji, so she couldn't be impolite.

She summoned a young woman then looked at Li Lanni gently. "Let my assistant help you get changed, okay? I will shoulder all the damages and deal with this matter." 

There was no need to kick up a fuss, so Li Lanni went to get her extra dress from Ji Xiehan's car before following Si Yulin's assistant to a changing room. Si Yulin's assistant had brought a dress, but Li Lanni had her own, so she turned it down. She sent a message to someone before proceeding to change. 

The dresses were of the same color scheme, so she didn't need to redo her makeup and hair. This was also her mother's idea. 

She was done in just a few minutes and exited the changing room. 

A smile formed on her lips as she checked her phone. Ji Feifei, you still want to mess with me? I'll be happy to play along. She would be a fool if she still didn't know who was behind this drama.

She didn't know why the hell Ji Feifei would pull such a prank on her, but she had a feeling it was related to Ji Xiehan.Tch. Like she cared.

She went back to the banquet hall. Impressively enough, the drama was still on. 

With Ji Feifei fanning the flames, it would be shocking if she let it end so quickly. 

The chubby waitress even had an employee ID, so the situation was sticky. Si Yulin knew the employee ID was fake, but she couldn't prove it on the spot. That, and the fact that Ji Feifei was blowing the matter out of proportion. 

The guests were currently lashing at Si Yulin for trying to evade responsibility. 

Jiang Xingyu wanted to but in, but Ji Xiehan held him back. It wasn't sure what the man was thinking, but Jiang Xingyu did as he was told. 

Just as the guests were getting impatient with this unnecessary drama, a series of claps rang out. 

Everyone turned to the source of the sound. 

Li Lanni was back. 

Ji Xiehan grinned in a sense of pride. That was faster than he thought. 

Li Lanni made her way to Ji Feifei with an amused expression. "What impeccable acting. Even I almost got fooled. We would give you a standing ovation if we were not already standing." 

"What do you mean by that?" Ji Feifei snapped. 

Li Lanni crossed her arms. "Don't you know what I mean, Miss Ji? 

You orchestrated the whole drama. I don't know what you wanted to achieve, but since you didn't achieve it, you went ahead to attack Star Art International instead? Girl, I admire your guts." 

"I don't know what you are talking about." Ji Feifei cackled, then looked at Li Lanni spitefully. "You think this is about you? Pfft. You really think everything revolves around you, spoilt princess?" 

Li Lanni rolled her eyes. Spoilt princess? Was she as spoilt as Ji Feifei, who could go as far as to seduce her own brother? Tch, Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps! 

She would have blurted this out, but it wouldn't benefit her, and it would implicate the pervert, so she brushed it off. "I don't care what you want. If you think I wronged you, you should come to me. But why would you waste everyone's time? You know, you made the Jiang family lose face." 

The Jiangs didn't feel it initially, but now that Li Lanni mentioned it, they did feel embarrassed. Everyone who attended the banquet were the top elites of the city and were no fools. When they heard Li Lanni's words, they felt something was fishy here.

"That girl is right. If Ji Feifei really created all this mess, then it's not good at all." Mrs. Jiang said in displeasure. Even though Mr. Jiang was silent, displeasure was written all over his face. Star Art International was a subsidiary of Jiang Corporation, after all. 

A short distance away, Jiang Xingyu held his chin curiously. One statement from her influenced everyone's thoughts, including his parents? This little beauty was interesting. 

"Since I know that I'm the one you're after, why don't we settle this in private? 

If this drags on, everyone will be displeased. You can tell me why you did this, but in private."

Just as she thought, Ji Feifei couldn't stand this. "No way! I will not let you bully me! You will only use the chance to tarnish my reputation again. Why the heck would I target you? Lanni, I thought we were friends." She sobbed, making Ji Xiehan cringe. Act on! I was scared you wouldn't act. 

As expected, she gathered her skirts and ran to Mrs. Ji, clinging to her arm and crying. 

Li Lanni really wanted to burst into laughter. 

"Since this is what you want, why not? If that's the case, then I'll leave. But I have evidence of Miss Ji hiring someone to harass me. I don't know..." she pretended to think hard about it. "Would the court take it seriously if I said that Miss Ji has repeatedly been targeting me and making me feel my life is threatened?" 

Just as she made her way to leave, Ji Xiehan stopped her. "What evidence do you have?" 

"Huh?" Li Lanni wasn't expecting him to speak. 

He put on a serious expression. "Threatening someone's life is a crime, and you are accusing my sister of it. How can you just drop such a bomb and saunter away? I will not let you go. Go ahead and show us the evidence."
