Chapter 45: Meeting Him Again 3
The wineglass fell to the floor, and Liang Yuzhu and the woman both collapsed to the ground.
The glass shards pierced directly into Liang Yuzhu’s palm, and in an instant, blood spurted everywhere.
Xia Xiaonuan stood there stunned, and the scene became chaotic in a flash. Nangong Yaoling and Shaochen hurried over at the sound.
"Yaoling..." Liang Yuzhu saw Nangong Yaoling and immediately put on a pitiful expression. Nangong Yaoling helped her up: "Are you alright?"
"I... I’m fine... as long as Xiaonuan is fine." Liang Yuzhu’s expression crumpled as she glanced at Xia Xiaonuan.
Shaochen looked at his sister with concern: "Why couldn’t you be more careful."
Xia Xiaonuan had to step forward and awkwardly said, "She got hurt to protect me. Yuzhu, thank you."
"As long as Xiaonuan is okay, it’s just a minor injury."
Liang Yuzhu glanced at Xia Xiaonuan and leaned into Nangong Yaoling’s arms: "Ling, Xiaonuan came to our Liang Family’s banquet. I couldn’t let her get hurt or embarrassed, and I couldn’t let Ling lose face either."
Nangong Yaoling looked up and gave Xia Xiaonuan a reproachful glance, then lowered his head and gently looked at Liang Yuzhu, "I’ll take you to apply some medicine."
As he said this, he bent down and picked her up horizontally.
"Ling, let me do it." Shaochen said hastily, feeling that something was inappropriate as he glanced at Xia Xiaonuan.
Nangong Yaoling replied, "It’s okay. She got hurt because of Xiaonuan. How could I ignore that?" As he spoke, he didn’t look at Xia Xiaonuan again and directly carried Liang Yuzhu upstairs.
There was a flurry of whispered discussion among the crowd, and all eyes were complex as they looked at Xia Xiaonuan.
Xia Xiaonuan felt a little embarrassed, as if it was her incompetence that almost got her hurt and caused Liang Yuzhu to suffer.
And her husband, Nangong Yaoling, left holding another woman, which indeed made her feel embarrassed. Although she didn’t like Nangong Yaoling.
Weiwei bit her lower lip and gazed at the woman she didn’t even know in the distance. The woman had just gotten up from the ground, acting as if nothing had happened, and even glanced at her with a smug expression.
Xia Xiaonuan sighed helplessly. She didn’t want to get involved in this fight for affection, but unfortunately, she was already in it. Even if she didn’t compete, someone would still be jealous and use her.
Her face burned, but she had no words to express her suffering.
At this moment, Shaochen stepped forward and, seeing her face looking bad, smiled and asked, "Are you okay?"
Xia Xiaonuan stared at the man in front of her. His gaze was gentle and sincere, like a quiet river. Xia Xiaonuan felt warmth in her heart. No matter what, as long as she had his concern, she felt she was the happiest person in the world.
"I’m fine..." Xia Xiaonuan forced a smile, "It was my fault just now, causing your sister to get hurt." Although she knew she was being used, who let her react slowly, realizing only after things happened. Moreover, she didn’t care about Nangong Yaoling’s and others’ opinions.
But the man in front of her, she cared a lot.
"Don’t say that. I know my sister best. If she did something inappropriate, I hope you won’t hold it against her." Shaochen said somewhat helplessly.
