Chapter 66 - Counterattack

Time was running out, and the birthday banquet was only half an hour away. Zhou Xing Chen asked Liang Jia to quickly change into her ceremonial dress and rush to the banquet.

There was a sea of people and a sea of wine. The luxurious and resplendent hotel was filled with drunkenness. Journalists, guests, and people of all walks of life were gathered together. This was not only a birthday party, but also a good time to broaden their contacts.

Zhou Xing Chen held onto Liang Jia as they walked through the crowd. When he saw Xia Qin`er, who was dressed like a noble and beautiful woman, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as he saw Liang Jia's beautiful dress, then he smiled mockingly as he walked over with a glass of champagne. "This afternoon was an unintentional mistake, so elder sister Liang is magnanimous and forgiving."

As if she was looking at a clown, she said in a clear voice, "It's one thing for you to dirty my dress, but is it another for me to think of a way to fix it? But you didn't even say a word of apology, and you just intentionally made me forgive you?" Liang Jia sneered. "Does Miss Xia really think that her face is as big as a basin?"

Liang Jia's voice was neither loud nor small, just loud enough for the surrounding people to hear. Xia Qin'er's face turned white for a moment, and she didn't think that the once dignified and gentle Liang Jia would now be able to speak such sarcastic words. The surrounding people whispered amongst themselves, and faint laughter rang out.

Zhou Xing Chen raised an eyebrow as he looked at her. He hadn't expected that the little kitten's claws would be so sharp.

"Why is she always like this?" Liang Jia frowned. "I don't think I've ever done anything against her, so why is she always looking for trouble with me?"

"Some people are like that," Zhou Xing Chen's voice rang out from above his head. "A man is innocent, but having a treasure is his greatest sin. To her, you marrying me is an affront. Even if you haven't done anything to harm her, she still wants to target you."

Liang Jia sighed.

"And most of these people have one thing in common." Zhou Xing Chen pretended to be deep in thought.

"Common points? "What is it?" Liang Jia asked.

"You have to take revenge for this," Zhou Xing Chen said coldly. "Treat tolerance as weakness. Once they decide you are an enemy, they will not back down because of your good will. Instead, they will torture you until you lose your reputation." To deal with such people, one must spare no effort in order to fight back. "

Liang Jia's words were as if they were filled with wisdom. She was silent, but her eyes were clear.

"You did well." Zhou Xing Chen teased, "Keep it up."

The violin melody played leisurely, accompanied by the piano sound like a clear spring wash people's hearts.

The banquet began. Liang Jia pulled Zhou Xing Chen along as she walked towards Liang Wenrui. At this time, Xia Qin'er was already standing next to Liang Wenrui.

Liang Jia let go of Zhou Xing Chen's hand and took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from her bag. With both hands, she handed it to Liang Wenrui. "Mom, this is a small gift I've prepared. I wish you a happy birthday."

Liang Wenrui glanced at Liang Jia, took the gift, and impatiently opened the gift box. He saw a necklace, and it had a unique and elegant design.

She rolled her eyes at Liang Jia, shook her head, and said, "I accept your kind intentions, but I don't like this necklace. I won't wear it even if I receive it. It's a waste, you can take it back."

It was all an excuse, and he clearly didn't want to accept it.

Liang Jia's hands froze there, in a dilemma. At this point, Zhou Xing Chen advised, "Mom, since it's just a small token of goodwill, you can take it."

Seeing that Liang Wenrui didn't want to accept the gift, Xia Qin'er stood there awkwardly, feeling incredibly carefree in her heart. She also saw Liang Wenrui frown deeply because Zhou Xing Chen had spoken on Liang Jia's behalf, and he affectionately held Liang Wenrui's hand.

Xia Qin'er considerately suggested, "Auntie, let's go over there and greet them."

Liang Wenrui nodded. Just as the two of them were about to leave, Liang Jia flashed and appeared in front of Xia Qin'er.

Her lips curled up into a smile, looking gentle and dignified at the end. She then leaned over and whispered into Xia Qin'er's ear, "Is it that interesting to stick to Liang Wenrui like a piece of gum on a shoe?" Or has your purpose changed again? "

When had Xia Qin'er ever been mocked in such a manner? And she even mentioned her own motives? Xia Qin'er stared at Liang Jia full of anger. Liang Jia was as calm as water, and there was a hint of threat in her eyes.

"Liang Jia, just you wait." Leaving these unclear words behind, she released Liang Wenrui's hand and left in a depressed state.

Liang Jia gave a dignified smile as she handed over a necklace. "Mom, you can take this favor and do whatever you want with it."

At this time, Liang Wenrui was very angry with Xia Qin'er. Furthermore, the necklace was very beautiful, so she reluctantly accepted it.

Zhou Xing Chen smiled as he asked Liang Jia, "What did you just say to Xia Qin'er?"

"It's nothing," Liang Jia's expression was innocent. "She couldn't bear it herself, so she left after saying a few words."

He picked up a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray and began to taste it.

Zhou Xing Chen stood at her side, sizing her up. "You seem a little different."

"Is that so?" The corner of Liang Jia's mouth curled up into a smile. Her smile was as intoxicating as the wine in her hand. She playfully blinked her eyes. "It's you. You're a good instructor."

Thinking back to what happened just now, Liang Wenrui couldn't help but become extremely angry. She felt that the reason why Xia Qin'er left her behind was entirely because of Liang Jia's few whispered words. He didn't know what Liang Jia had said to the Xia girl.

He pointed at Liang Jia, who was drinking red wine beside Zhou Xing Chen. "She's not my guest. Please take her out."

The waiter didn't understand the reason, so he did as he was told.

He came in front of Liang Jia, interrupting their conversation. "I'm sorry, the banquet host said that you are not a guest. Please leave."

Liang Wencai and Xing Chen glanced at each other, and Liang Jia became depressed. Liang Wenrui, why can't you be more lenient towards me?

Zhou Xing Chen looked towards the direction the waiter had come from and saw Liang Wenrui standing at the other end, sizing them up. He reached out his hand and wrapped it around Liang Jia's waist, making Liang Jia's body stick tightly to it. His posture was extremely ambiguous, and the waiter's face turned red as he looked at Liang Wenrui.

Zhou Xing Chen pointed at himself. "Do you know who I am?"

The waiter nodded: "Understood, young master Zhou."

"Mm." Zhou Xing Chen nodded. "This is my wife, do you think she is a guest?"

"But …" The waiter scratched his head, but before he could say more, Zhou Xing Chen interrupted him.

"The banquet host made a mistake, this place is fine now, go back to work."

The waiter did not dare to disobey. However, before he left, he turned his head back again and again. He was completely confused …
