“What’s wrong with me? I didn’t say anything wrong!” Wu Qiong’s face was fearless as she retorted confidently.

She even raised her voice to attract the attention of the people around her, “Everyone, help me out! This bitch used my son’s hard-earned money to support another man. She just divorced my son, and she has already booked Shenghao. Everyone knows what kind of place that is!”

Mu Ran looked at Wu Qiong coldly. Although she was wearing a high-end luxury dress and had exquisite makeup, she was even more despicable than a clown.

She took the towel from Wang Man and wiped her hair. She calmed herself down a little and walked out from behind Qin Wei.

Qin Wei looked at Mu Ran worriedly.

Mu Ran’s eyes were firm and inviolable.

“Let me clarify a few things. Firstly, I’ve already divorced your son. Before the divorce, I’ve always tried my best and never did anything to let him down. As for what I want to do after the divorce, that’s my freedom! Secondly, I didn’t take a single cent from the Fu family. You can ask Fu Ting to show you the divorce papers. The terms are clearly listed on it. I’ve been married to Fu Ting for six years and I left with nothing so I didn’t do anything I should be sorry for.”

Mu Ran’s voice was neither fast nor slow and every word was spoken clearly.

It made Wu Qiong feel a little guilty.

Although she had never seen the divorce papers before, Fu Ting had told her personally that Mu Ran didn’t ask for anything from him in the divorce.

But she couldn’t just give up like this.

“Bullshit!” Wu Qiong placed her hands on her hips and pointed at Mu Ran as she cursed, “You didn’t take my son’s money? How can you eat at somewhere this fancy if you hadn’t taken his money? Pui! You should learn how to lie better! But if you’re willing to kneel down and apologize to me, I can forgive you.”

This was definitely the biggest joke that Mu Ran had ever heard.

She took a step forward and met Wu Qiong’s hysterical gaze, “Ms. Wu, I think you’re mistaken. You’re the one who should apologize. So many people here saw you throw red wine at me, and you even accused me of many lies. If I want to pursue legal responsibility, you’ll probably be locked up for a few days, right?”

After saying that, she looked at Wang Man with a smile. “Am I right, Lawyer Wang?”

Wang Man smiled and nodded, clearing her throat, “Mrs. Wu Qiong, your actions just now have already caused physical and mental harm to my client. If investigated, you will be fined anywhere between 500 and 2000 dollars according to the regulations of the Public Security Administration. You will also be subject to five to ten days of administrative detention.”

Not only was Wu Qiong not intimidated, she even sneered. “What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think that I’m stupid?”

As she said that, she actually wanted to hit Mu Ran.

Mu Ran stared at Wu Qiong. She had already prepared to turn her body to the side, causing Wu Qiong to miss and fall to the ground!

Wu Qiong did not get up. She simply sat on the ground and pointed at Mu Ran to complain!

“How dare you hit me? Is there even any justice? They ganged up to bully an old woman like me! I don’t want to live anymore!”

Everyone looked at each other. If they were not mistaken, it was Wu Qiong who wanted to hit Mu Ran just now.

It was probably because the commotion was too big that it alarmed the owner of the restaurant.

When Wu Qiong saw him coming over, she saw some hope so she immediately got up from the ground and pointed at Mu Ran. Then, she started playing the victim again, “You came at the right time. Isn’t this a high-end restaurant? How can you let such people in? Chase them out right now!”

She often came to eat at this restaurant and had met the owner a few times so they were acquaintances.

“She was the one who scolded me first, and she was also the one who attacked me first. I believe that all the guests present, as well as the surveillance cameras of your restaurant, can prove me right. I also hope that you can stand on a fair and just point of view and decide who is causing trouble and who should be chased out of here.”

Mu Ran did not speak in a rush but clearly stated her demands. Her tone was neither fast nor slow, but it carried a strong sense of oppression.

Qin Wei was a little absent-minded. It was as if he had seen the Mu Ran, who had once dominated the debate field again.

The owner was in a difficult position and he could not help but take another look at Mu Ran. When his gaze fell on Qin Wei, who was beside Mu Ran, he was so shocked that his eyes widened.

“Young master…”

He called out softly, and Qin Wei quickly continued, “This young lady is right. I’ll have to trouble you to check the surveillance cameras to confirm who is causing trouble and who needs to get out of here.”

“Okay, I will do so.” The owner nodded repeatedly and walked away quickly.

Mu Ran felt strange and couldn’t help but take another look at Qin Wei.

Although she had known Qin Wei for many years, she didn’t seem to have a deep understanding of him.

Of course, everyone had secrets.

She didn’t have to get to the bottom of everything..
