If looks could kill, they would all be buried ten feet beneath the ground. Qin Jing glared at all of them, her bottom lip trembling in anger. Who gave them the right to speak out like this?

  She loved her friends, and to see Sister Tang be so wrongfully accused at her birthday party, she just had to do something. Her jaw clenched, leveling her gaze at the jeering crowd.

  After what Sister Tang had done for her, it was the least she could do.

  “Are you done talking?”


  Qin Jing snapped. The one thing she wanted to do now was to have security drag them out of the party by the neck.

  They were vicious! Like vultures picking on the dead!

  Qin Man was extremely pleased with what had happened. Even if they were dragged out, they had already done what they needed to do. After all, the crowd already had doubts about who Yao Tangreally was. Taking them out would only strengthen their suspicions.

  There was nothing else she could do!

  Yao Ran, sensing the celebrant’s anger, quickly lowered her head. A satisfied smile crept to her lips.

  As long as she could embarrass Yao Tang, it would all be worth it.

  Not only had she managed to gain the Qin Family’s connections, but she’d also driven Yao Tang away from the high society. She’d be killing two birds with one stone.

  Qin Jing was unimportant. She was only too driven by her emotions that she couldn’t think straight.

  City A was a small place. Soon enough, they would cross paths once again. And once they do, they’d have to be civil. Qin Manmust have had the same thoughts when she stepped forward.

  “Miss Qin, please don’t be angry. We know that you have been manipulated by her words and appearance, but not everything is as it seems. She’d only push you to the brink.”


  Qin Man shook her head.

  To the brink? Qin Jing’s eyes flashed with anger as her fingernails dug deeper into her palms. Meng Yang, who was beside her, wanted to rush out and smack them if it weren’t for Xiao Pang pulling him back. All eyes were on the five students, flashing with curiosity and wonder.

  Just as Lin Xin would speak out, a suited man stepped out of the crowd.

  “I believe you have misunderstood this situation,” the unknown man spoke politely.

  “Misunderstanding?”


  “Isn’t that exactly what happened?”


  “Then why would Yao Tang, a student, and a country bumpkin, have a top-tier membership card in Tian Run Mall? How could she manage such a feat?”


  “None of us could ever have the Diamond Card!”


  The crowd discussed animatedly, sizing him up and down. Who was this man for him to say such a thing?

  However, upon taking a closer look, one gasped.

  “That’s Zhang Yi! The General Manager of Tian Run Mall!” one whispered. “Why would he come here?”


  “Is he really General Manager Zhang?”


  “Heavens, I can’t believe I attended the same banquet as General Manager Zhang! I could now die with a smile on my face,” the other spoke animatedly, jumping in excitement.

  “Wait, but what is he talking about? How did we misunderstand the situation?”


  They stared at him in disbelief.

  Why would he be speaking up for a mistress?

  Everyone glanced at Yao Tang, who was standing on the stage. She didn’t look like she could be bothered by the people around her. Instead, she was too busy tapping on her phone.

  Even from afar, they could tell that the young lady was beautiful with her long wavy hair and sharp features.

  The heavens had really blessed her with beauty, that was enough said. However, with so many rumors bouncing about, they couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy around her.

  “I am here on behalf of Tian Run Mall to congratulate Miss Qin and greet her a happy birthday,” the General Manager spoke. “However, I would also like to apologize to Miss Yao Tangfor not clearing out these allegations earlier.”


  “From the moment I entered, I could not help but hear of your speculations of Yao Tang owning the Black Gold Diamond Membership Card……Or our Diamond Card, for short.”


  His gaze swept across the room.

  Everyone had fallen silent as they shared glances with each other.

  “Miss Yao Tang did not receive the card through improper means,” he announced. “In fact, the card Miss Yao Tangis holding has been given by our boss himself.”
