Chapter 1482: Chapter 1482: Do You Really Think You’re That Important?
After all, her son had already had a very difficult time, and Wang Cuixia couldn’t stand it when these people wouldn’t let up.
She directly ignored her own image, even grabbing the person who was accusing him of fraud.
"Since you’re saying my son committed fraud, then bring out the evidence. If you can’t produce evidence today, then we’ll see you in court. Do you dare to challenge me?"
The person had only gotten into the party by relying on their family’s reputation, so inevitably, they felt a bit sour and hoped that by complaining, they could earn themselves some fame. But they didn’t expect to be grabbed by Wang Cuixia, and now they were scared, especially since she was just a girl with a dark face.
At this moment, she didn’t expect to be so unlucky; didn’t everyone say there wasn’t a problem? Why did it become a problem when she spoke? She would’ve shut her mouth if she had known.
"I say, auntie, can you let go of me? I didn’t say anything, and besides, everyone is talking about it. What’s it got to do with me? If you really want to deal with it, you’d better deal with everyone here."
"You’re probably just picking on someone easy!"
The young girl said that and even started to pry at Wang Cuixia’s fingers, but Wang Cuixia was in a state of anger and had no intention of letting go.
The girl couldn’t break free; tears even started to come out as she saw Wang Cuixia like a demon.
"Auntie, I really made a mistake. I didn’t mean it, and everyone is saying it. You can’t just single me out. If you want to blame someone, blame them as well."
At this point, Wang Cuixia stood tall and ignored the girl’s explanation, even shoving Xu Ke aside. Daring to slander her son, who would dare?
"Since you can malign others with just words, you’ll naturally face consequences. I’ll deal with the others later. There’s a saying, ’The gun shoots the bird that sticks its head out.’ Since you talked of fraud, fine, I’ll show you what fraud really is today!"
After Wang Cuixia spoke, two security guards came over. Now everyone began to scrutinize Wang Cuixia’s identity; she was just a regular woman, so how could she command the guards here? They were Xiao Family people.
Yet the guards really seemed to understand Wang Cuixia’s words and directly escorted the person out, even stripping away their right to attend the birthday banquet. Instantly, everyone fell silent.
If they were escorted out in such a way, they would die of shame. And if that happened, how would they have a chance to attend such parties in the future? So nearly no one dared to gossip anymore.
"Tell me, what background does that woman have? If not real, her status must be significant. It looks like she holds a particularly high position in the Xiao Family; did we offend that woman just now?"
"Such pettiness. We were just saying things, and it shouldn’t be taken to heart. Seriously, having no tolerance for the pettiness of big characters."
"Enough, lower your voice. Didn’t you see? That woman is something else. Even with a few big figures in front of her, she does as she pleases. If you keep talking, then don’t stand with me."
The person speaking hastily moved away from the person speaking ill, fearing that being entangled would lead to trouble for which they couldn’t be responsible. Plus, they now saw clearly that the woman beside Xu Ke was formidable, better not to provoke her now; there’s time to step on toes later.
The person who had spoken felt regret immediately. It wasn’t easy to get to the party, and now they were spurned by the people they depended on; they had to tread carefully.
Old Li saw Wang Cuixia act that way and thought she couldn’t keep her cool, but what mother would watch her child be slandered like that without getting angry? Anyone would be, let alone Wang Cuixia, who was just an ordinary lady.
"Alright, Mom, don’t be mad. I’ve gotten used to it, plus they’re only just talking. It’s no big deal, things will become clear eventually."
Seeing Wang Cuixia so angry, Xu Ke hurriedly supported her, and hearing her son’s words, Wang Cuixia felt even more heartbroken. Had her son always endured such slanders? It was her fault for not stepping up earlier or for creating a situation with Su Zining, making her feel extremely guilty.
"I’m sorry, I was really foolish to let all this happen to you. Look at the problem now."
Xu Ke was glad his mother could stand up for him at a critical moment, but regardless of how much adversity he faced, he didn’t want those around him to face disputes. Wang Cuixia proving him right was good enough.
"It’s alright, Mom, they’ll talk about it sooner or later; these things aren’t related to you."
Old Li saw Xu Ke didn’t mind, so he remained silent, considering it their mother-and-son issue, and it would feel inappropriate to intrude.
At that moment, Old Lan came over and was even more upset seeing the lady beside Xu Ke. This lady had no determination; he originally had issues with Xu Ke, so the person beside Xu Ke had an even worse reception.
"It was fraud originally, and people just talked about it. What do you think you are?"
Detecting Old Lan’s words, Xu Ke’s face turned icy!
"I think Old Lan must be mistaken. We only have a bet between us, but if you unjustly comment on my mother, don’t blame me for not being respectful to an elder!"
"The elder may be revered in this circle, but what’s the difference between your mother’s words and digging someone’s grave? If Old Lan’s eyesight is bad, I can recommend some eye clinics to help recognize people clearly."
The words were very rude, basically saying Old Lan was blind. But hearing those words, Old Lan didn’t expect the young man was becoming more arrogant, seemingly ignoring him, immediately reddening his old face. No one expected Xu Ke to suddenly be so assertive.
Those around were in awe; they didn’t think Xu Ke would dare to confront Old Lan. No wonder there’s youthful impulsiveness. Yet for them, they wouldn’t dare, and each was prepared to watch the show.
"I think he’s crazy. Old Lan was so powerful when young, not only famous in the Art and Calligraphy Industry but even a giant in the anime and gaming sectors. Even now, few dare offend him, and Xu Ke is in this field. Isn’t he handing his livelihood to Old Lan, asking him to ruin it?"
"But I really feel Old Lan went too far. He didn’t ask for the details and wronged people directly. Plus, it’s said the chairman of Xiao Group has also looked into whether it was fraud, and there’s still room for discussion. Old Lan threw the blame without knowing the situation; who wouldn’t be mad?"
