Chapter 1710: No One Is Qualified to Gossip

Jiang Motian touched her hair, feeling a bit distressed.

As soon as Wei Yangyang saw this action, she knew what Jiang Motian was minding.

Immediately, she took a box out from her bags and opened it.

"This is a gift I bought for you; it comes in handy right now!"

Inside the box was a chestnut-colored baseball cap.

Just like that, she placed it on Jiang Motian's head...

The messiness turned into a look of uninhibited style.

It had attitude, flair, and personality.

Wei Yangyang's eyes even turned into stars!

Sigh, Jiang Motian is just sweet and cool; she looks good in anything!

Wei Yangyang admired her for a moment longer, then tugged on Jiang Motian's hand and urged, "Alright, alright, I'm starving, let's go."

At the same time, inside the music restaurant—

Xiang Nan pushed the door open and walked into the private room, smiling as she said to the friends inside, "Sorry, I'm late."

"Not late, not late at all! You're the guest of honor today; the party only truly begins once you arrive!"

The friends responded to Xiang Nan with enthusiasm.

Someone even pushed Xiang Nan's shoulders, urging her to sit in the main seat.

This gathering today was to celebrate Xiang Nan winning the "Emerging Designer" award.

Naturally, Xiang Nan became the star of the party.

After the meal officially began, everyone frequently toasted her.

Xiang Nan was in a good mood and accepted every toast.

The friends were also chatting happily and had all drunk quite a bit.

When the atmosphere was at its peak, someone remarked, "Everyone really came to this party."

Those attending the party today were all from the same small circle.

Everyone used to hang out together often.

But after starting work, for one reason or another, it was rare for everyone to attend a gathering.

The number of people who came today was indeed quite high.

But someone, drunk, said, "Not really, didn't Wei Yangyang and Jiang Motian not come?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room went quiet.

Xiang Nan lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Soon, someone spoke up to smooth things over: "Why bring them up? One is a coward, the other is a tag-along; they aren't qualified to sit with us."

"Exactly, exactly! Even if they wanted to come, we wouldn't welcome them!"

Others began to chime in.

But Xiang Nan suddenly spoke up: "The coward you speak of has been doing quite well for herself lately, becoming a great talented woman."

"Forget it, in our eyes, you are the only talented woman."

"That's right, if it weren't for her family, what would that Jiang Motian even be!"

As luck would have it, Jiang Motian happened to be passing by the door of this private room.

Because the door wasn't closed tightly, she happened to hear this sentence.

In an instant, Jiang Motian's expression changed.

Wei Yangyang heard it too, and she felt the voice was very familiar.

She poked her head in to take a look.

Weren't these friends from their old circle?

Once, they were inseparable.

They had endless things to talk about when they were together.

But now...

Sigh, better not to mention it.

Wei Yangyang wanted to take Jiang Motian away from this place of trouble.

But the person closest to the door actually spotted Wei Yangyang, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Yo, someone really came uninvited!"

Wei Yangyang shrank her neck and wanted to leave quickly.

But the other person had already walked to the door and pulled it open, letting the friends inside see Jiang Motian and Wei Yangyang.

This small group was currently centered around Xiang Nan.

Seeing Xiang Nan's enemy, someone spoke up to humiliate Jiang Motian on her behalf: "If you're here to apologize, you can come in and have a drink."

"Forget it, her sins can't be repaid with just a glass of wine!"

"I don't even want to see her; just make her leave quickly!"

The man standing at the door sneered and reached out to shoo Jiang Motian away.

But just as his hand reached out, it was tightly gripped by someone!

"Ouch... it hurts!"

Xie Wanyi had a face like cold frost.

He seemed not to hear the guy's cry of pain, instead sweeping his cold gaze over everyone inside.

And everyone swept by his gaze felt a chill run through their entire bodies!

After looking around, Xie Wanyi finally fixed his gaze on the man in front of him.

Then she asked, "Is this hotel yours?"

"N-no, it isn't!"

"If it isn't yours, then why did our passing by the entrance trigger your wishful thinking?"

Wei Yangyang also came to her senses, straightened her chest, and said, "We are here to eat too, not to join in your excitement!"

"Eat? If I had caused someone's death, I would have run deep into the mountains to face the wall and reflect on my mistakes long ago."

A girl closest to Xiang Nan spoke up secretly.

Although her voice was very soft, Xie Wanyi heard it!

He glanced sideways, his voice low and dangerous: "None of you are qualified to gossip about what happened back then!"

These words provoked Xiang Nan; she stood up and questioned coldly: "Then am I qualified?!"

"You aren't qualified either. The only one truly qualified is your brother. But he saved Jiang Motian willingly, and he would never blame her."

"Nonsense! If my brother had known he would lose his life, how could he have been stupid enough to die for Jiang Motian!"

"You said it yourself, your brother didn't expect it. Since he didn't expect it, it was an accident. Yet you all push the blame for the accident onto Jiang Motian. Is that fair?"

Xie Wanyi's counter-question made Xiang Nan tremble with rage.

She glared fiercely at Xie Wanyi and said through gritted teeth: "You simply... don't know anything!"

"I don't know, I only know that some people, in order to shift their pain, use someone who is equally in pain as a target, and then join forces with others to take pleasure in crushing her!"

"If my brother hadn't died because of her, I wouldn't even bother targeting her!"

"Is that so? I'm afraid that even if your brother were still alive, you would still find Jiang Motian an eyesore."

Xie Wanyi's calm and composed sentence made Xiang Nan's breathing quicken.

The way she stared at Xie Wanyi, it was as if she wished she could burn two holes into him!

The friends all felt that Xie Wanyi was being too excessive.

Also, who is he?

Someone plucked up the courage to question him: "Jiang Motian hasn't even spoken, what right do you have to stand up for her!"

"Just because... my fists are hard enough!"

After Xie Wanyi finished speaking, he pushed the man whose wrist he had just been holding forcefully inward!

The man lost his balance and stumbled toward the table.

Then his body rolled and he fell to the ground, knocking over many bowls and dishes at the same time.

The sound of shattering porcelain, accompanied by the man's painful "Ouch, ouch" cries, made those who had just been questioning him fall silent like cicadas in winter.

Xie Wanyi stood up straight and asked calmly: "Who is not convinced? You can come and try!"

"You... watch out, we'll call the police!"

"Sure, I believe the Li Family has professional lawyers who can wear you down."

Someone seized a loophole and mocked: "So it turns out you're relying on power and influence to act lawlessly!"

"What, you're allowed to use verbal bullying against Jiang Motian, but if Jiang Motian finds a way to fight back, it's lawless? Then this unlucky sky really should be pierced! And also..."

Xie Wanyi paused for a moment, then spoke in a grim tone: "If I hear you gossiping again, I will pull out your tongues!"
