As Qiao Jiusheng thought about the matter in a daze, she suddenly heard a commotion.

  She and Jiang Jie looked up at the same time and saw a man pulling a woman in the middle of the banquet hall. The man had worn a black suit, and the woman was dressed in a pink dress. The man shouted, “Come with me! I’ve drawn you the most beautiful portrait in the world. I’ll take you to see it, okay? Take a look, and you’ll know how much I love you.”


  Qiao Jiuyin frantically yelled, “Let go of me! Are you crazy!”


  The man still held her, muttering something under his breath and refusing to budge.

  Qiao Jiuyin was so frightened that she quickly snatched wine from someone else’s hand and poured it on the man in black.

  Li Kui was stunned when the wine was splashed on his head.

  His eyes, which were filled with madness, regained a moment of clarity. However, the next moment, infatuation replaced that clarity. He suddenly hugged Qiao Jiuyin. Ignoring her resistance, he held her face and moved to kiss her. Qiao Jiuyin resisted, but she was pregnant. Coupled with her lack of strength, she failed to resist.

  The man successfully kissed Qiao Jiuyin.

  He started to nibble on her body, his limbs touching her everywhere.

  Qiao Jiuyin got so anxious that she cried.

  Among the crowd, someone wanted to go up and help. The main character of the banquet called for security. Jiang Wei tried to pull the man off Qiao Jiuyin, while some people started taking pictures.

  Qiao Jiusheng looked around but failed to see Fang Mu.

  Personally, she was unwilling to go up and help Qiao Jiuyin resolve the situation. However, at this moment, she was Qi Yunsheng, Qiao Jiuyin’s sister-in-law. If she ignored her and stood afar, she would become a topic of gossip.

  Therefore, Qiao Jiusheng looked around, then ran up to the high platform. She picked up the iron knife Jiang Jie and the rest had used to cut the cake and rushed toward Qiao Jiuyin and Li Kui.

  “Make way!”


  Qiao Jiusheng held a knife in her right hand and her skirt in her left. She ran with gusto in her ten-centimeter-high heels.

  Upon hearing her voice, the crowd parted.

  Qiao Jiusheng shouted at Jiang Wei, “Xiao Wei, dodge!”


  Jiang Wei dodged to the side in a daze.

  Horizontally holding the hilt of the knife in her palm, Qiao Jiusheng slashed the blade horizontally at the back of Li Kui’s neck.

  Li Kui let go of Qiao Jiuyin in pain.

  He retreated two steps.

  Qiao Jiusheng quickly raised her right leg and leaned her left foot on the ground to support herself. At the next moment, her right diagonally leg flew out, and she nailed the heel of her high heels into Li Kui’s chest.

  Li Kui’s eyes sparked with fury because of the slash. However, before he could stand firm, Qiao Jiusheng kicked him in the chest. He fell to the ground on the spot. After falling, he covered his head as his eyes alternated between craziness and clarity.

  The venue became dead silent. Suddenly, someone shouted, “Hurry and catch that pervert!”


  “Quickly, someone call the doctor. Second Madam Fang has fainted from shock!”


  “Sister-in-law Yunsheng, you’re exposed!”


  Amidst the commotion, a voice that sounded exceptionally strange rang out as well.

  Qiao Jiusheng vaguely heard this and hurriedly covered her legs with her skirt. After covering them, she looked up and cupped her fists at Jiang Jie and Fang Yuqing. “Thank you for the reminder.” She hadn’t actually exposed herself. Her skirt was long enough. And to keep herself warm, she had even especially worn a pair of warm pants inside.

  Fang Mu arrived late after the commotion ended.

  He walked over from the washroom.

  Jiang Bo immediately held his hand and apologetically said to him, “Nephew Fang, I’m really sorry. I was too careless this time and gave this pervert an opportunity. I think something’s wrong with this person’s mind. Don’t worry! To give you an explanation, I will hand him to the police. Whether he gets a sentence or gets sent to a mental hospital, both are fine with me.”


  Fang Mu said to Jiang Bo with a cold expression, “It’s not your fault, Uncle. If a pervert wanted to come, no one would be able to stop him.”


  When Jiang Bo heard him say this, a grateful smile immediately appeared on his lips.

  Fang Mu took the frightened Qiao Jiuyin from Jiang Bo’s wife, Liu Qingya.

  Liu Qingya said to him, “Fang Mu, Jiusheng seems to be frightened. Quick, bring her to the hospital for a checkup. We’ll bear all the costs.”


  Fang Mu nodded and took Qiao Jiuyin over with a cold expression.

  “Brother Mu.” Qiao Jiuyin cried her eyes out. “That pervert, you must not let him off! He’s a lunatic.”


  Fang Mu lowered his eyes and coldly looked at her.

  When Qiao Jiuyin saw this, she thought that Fang Mu was angry at that pervert, Li Kui. Fang Mu glanced at Li Kui, who was held by the security guards, and said, “Take him away!”


  Fang Mu’s bodyguards immediately took Li Kui away.

  Qiao Jiuyin was relieved. She thought that Li Kui would be brought to the police station or the Guanjin mental hospital.

  Fang Mu carried Qiao Jiuyin to the entrance when a beautiful figure suddenly flashed by the door. He stared at the woman standing in front of him with a questioning look in his eyes.

  Qiao Jiusheng looked at Qiao Jiuyin in Fang Mu’s arms and said with a worried expression, “Second Brother, is sister-in-law okay?”


  Fang Mu was about to speak when the bodyguard beside him suddenly walked over and whispered into his ear.

  After hearing the bodyguard’s words, Fang Mu looked at Qiao Jiusheng differently.

  “Thank you for what happened tonight.” He looked at Qiao Jiusheng, unwilling to call her sister-in-law.

  Fang Mu could not explain why this change had happened.

  Perhaps, it was because her figure looked very similar to Xiao Sheng’s or because both women had the same taste in clothes. Or perhaps, it was because the kick she gave Li Kui tonight reminded him of his first encounter with Qiao Jiusheng.

  In short, Fang Mu had mixed feelings about this woman who was his sister-in-law.
