“Zhenting,” Shen Mei rose to her feet, genuinely fearful, and looked at him with a seductive and imploring expression, her eyes filled with coquetry.

But Li Zhenting didn’t even glance at her. He picked up a wireless microphone from the side, his deep and commanding voice resonating with authority, “Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s banquet ends here. Thank you all for coming.” It’s ending now?

Shen Mei’s face turned deathly pale.

The climax of her birthday banquet had not yet arrived.

Originally, she had planned to finish playing this piece, move Li Zhenting with its heartfelt melody, and then announce their wedding date to the world as a matter of course. She had invited many reporters for this very purpose.

But she had never expected Ding Ding to suddenly appear and ruin everything.

“Zhenting,” she gazed at Li Zhenting with teary eyes.

However, Li Zhenting merely took Ding Ding’s little hand and walked away.

Shen Mei watched Ding Ding’s receding figure, her fingers digging into her palm, her eyes flashing with a sinister coldness.

This little troublemaker had repeatedly sabotaged her plans. If it weren’t for him today, she should have been the happiest woman in the world right now. Her face was livid.

Meanwhile, Shen Ning had taken refuge under the grapevine arbor in the garden. She had sat there for a while with her head in her hands before finally regaining her composure.

While playing the piano just now, she had experienced a sudden illusion, accompanied by a severe headache.

She didn’t know why!

But she felt deeply sad and in pain!

After sitting in silence for a while, she got up and walked outside.

“Hurry up, I can’t wait, I’m dying here,” as soon as Shen Ning reached a dark corner by the pool, she suddenly heard the panting voice of a young man.

“Hey, why rush? 1 haven’t even gotten in the mood yet,” soon, a woman’s wanton voice followed.

Shen Ning shuddered all over. At this moment, there were still men and women indulging themselves here, it was unbelievable.

Moreover, the woman’s voice sounded very familiar. Who could it be?

She paused in her tracks.

At that moment, the man panted again and asked, “Little seductress, when are you going to transfer that villa into my name so we can get married?”

“Why the rush? That old man, Shao Wenbo, is getting suspicious of me now, always on guard against me. Let’s wait a little longer, my dear,” the woman coquettishly replied, “Let me empty the Shao family’s coffers first, and then we can leave. Let’s enjoy ourselves while we can.”

Shen Ning’s face turned pale with shock.

It was actually Wu Lili, that despicable woman.

She was having an affair with a younger man behind her uncle’s back, but conspiring to take over the Shao family’s wealth was beyond despicable!

Her head felt hot, and she rushed over, shouting loudly, “Wu Lili, you’re truly wicked, doing such things here. I’ll make sure to tell my uncle.”

“Ah!” The couple, in the midst of their tryst, were frightened and let out a scream. They scrambled to find their clothes in a panic.

Shen Ning picked up her phone and started taking pictures.

“You wretch, it’s you! You’re asking for trouble,” Wu Lili wrapped a towel around her lower body and rushed out, only to find Shen Ning. Enraged, she charged towards Shen Ning.

Shen Ning fought back, and the two of them exchanged blows. At that moment, the man, wearing only a towel, rushed out as well. When he saw Shen Ning, his eyes filled with malice. He lunged at her and threw her into the pool.

Since her near-drowning incident six years ago, Shen Ning had developed a deep fear of water. She wasn’t a strong swimmer to begin with, and being thrown into the water, she swallowed several mouthfuls of water. In the pool, she flailed and struggled, screaming for help.

“Oh no, someone fell into the water!” Fortunately, there were still people by the pool who hadn’t left yet. They immediately shouted loudly..
