Chapter 260

Chapter 260

Qi Li was still in a state of disbelief, his eyes darting frantically between the two people in front of him.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard someone call out, "Qi Li, are you here?"

Everyone turned to look and saw four burly men standing at the entrance of the swimming pool. Somehow, they looked vaguely familiar.

Qi Li's mind was still buzzing, and as he turned his head, he felt like he recognized them, yet also didn't. Impatiently, he snapped, "What is it? Talk later!"

"He's here indeed! We're Lily's brothers, and we need to talk to you!"

Without another word, the four men walked over.

[Lily's brothers? Wait... oh no, Qi Li is done for. So Lily has four brothers who are not exactly law-abiding but are fiercely protective of their sister. Hearing Lily's story, they learned that Qi Li had toyed with her feelings, so they rushed over to cause trouble. These guys are reckless, and once they get worked up, they don't care about the relationships between the big families. Normally, when Lily pursued Qi Li and he ignored her, it was fine, but this time, he used her and left her in a sorry state. How could her brothers not seek revenge? It seems Lily has finally seen through him. Hmm? Wait, just now, I was the one who poured the wine...]

Hearing this, Qin Xian immediately felt that the situation was getting out of hand. The men's eyes were filled with hostility.

Qin Xian first subtly shielded Ji Fei behind him and quickly called over a waiter. Although the men hadn't made a move yet, it was better to be safe than sorry, so he asked for security to be on alert.

But before the security arrived, the four burly men had already started to act.

The first punch came flying, and Qi Li was knocked over, toppling a nearby table of drinks.

The crowd screamed and scattered.

In such a situation, Luo Fei, Jing Yan, Yu Yue, and Qin Xian, being the four men among them, naturally couldn't stand by and do nothing. Even though Qi Li deserved it, they couldn't just watch him get beaten up.

However, despite their timely intervention, Qi Li was still left with a bruised and swollen face, his anger turning into humiliation, and he almost cried.

This night would be a scar he would never forget, both physically and emotionally.

The security arrived and restrained the men.

The four brothers continued to curse and yell, calling Qi Li a scumbag. In the end, the police were called, and both the Qi family and Lily's family showed up, turning the whole affair into a huge joke.

The swimming pool party naturally came to an end. But the gossip spirit didn't dissipate. It was estimated that after tonight, the elite circle would be buzzing with yet another scandal.

Everyone changed back into their clothes and waited at the entrance of the club for their rides.

Seeing Guo Yalan take Han Ziyu away alone, everyone was still in a daze.

"They really are sisters," Jing Yan said.

"Yalan seemed really happy," Cen Ting added. "She even said she would bring her sister to my engagement party."

Bai Xiaoxi widened her eyes in curiosity and asked, "Do you think... Qi Li will dare to come to the engagement party in a week?"

"I bet he won't," Yu Yue chuckled.

Luo Fei said, "You could say that in the end, Qi Li dug his own grave."

As they were talking, they heard a louder discussion nearby.

"There she is, the judge of the entertainment industry, the queen of elite scandals!"

"It's really uncanny. The last time she appeared was at the Luo family's wedding, and the wedding was canceled. This time, it was just a small party, yet it turned into such a big drama. It's terrifying."

"No wonder her fans are so obsessed with her. She really has some kind of divine power!"

"I'm starting to get obsessed with her too. I want to follow her and eat all the juicy gossip. Today's twists and turns were more exciting than ever. I can talk about this for a year."

"I wonder what event she'll attend next. I want to get in early to catch the gossip."

"I don't know if there will be other events, but there's a wedding coming up soon. She'll definitely be there..."

Qin Xian's friends looked at Ji Fei and Qin Xian as they descended the steps, and then at Cen Ting, who seemed stunned.

For a moment, they didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong?"

As the two approached, seeing everyone looking at them strangely, Ji Fei couldn't help but ask.

Bai Xiaoxi, being the most carefree, immediately asked excitedly, "Feifei, did you use your magical powers to make all this happen today?"

Ji Fei: ?

Yu ??‌‌?‌‌???‌‌?‌‌‌??‌‌?‌‌???‌‌??‌???‌‌?‌‌??‌‌???‌???‌‌?‌?‌?‌‌??‌‌???‌‌?‌‌??‌‌??‌????‌‌?‌?‌??‌‌?‌?‌??‌‌?‌???‌‌??‌????‌‌?‌‌???‌‌???‌??‌‌?????‌‌??‌????‌‌‌?????‌‌??‌‌??‌‌?‌????‌‌??????‌‌??‌‌?‌‌???‌‌‍Yue laughed and said, "Be careful, though. What if Qi Li snaps out of it and comes after you? Hahaha."

Ji Fei realized they were joking.

But how to put it, she really hadn't stirred the pot this time. She had just known some information in advance and sat back to enjoy the show.

So Ji Fei put on a pitiful face and said, "It really has nothing to do with me."

Bai Xiaoxi and Yu Yue both had teasing expressions, clearly not believing her and again emphasizing that she must attend Yu Yue's father's Nth wedding.

Luo Fei coughed, reminding them not to go too far. They were being carefree, but if Cen Ting took offense to this talk of mysticism, it wouldn't be good.

However, if it really was mysticism, Luo Fei would genuinely be grateful to Ji Fei.

Of course, he thought it was all just a coincidence. Ji Fei simply loved to eat melon (gossip) and enjoyed joining in on the fun whenever there was a commotion.

Qin Xian also caught on and looked at Cen Ting.

Cen Ting directly said, "If it really has something to do with you, then Guo Yalan should give you a big red envelope. However, my engagement party is coming up soon, and I need to be prepared."

Everyone was a bit awkward, thinking Cen Ting was really bothered by it.

"My fiancé has quite a few dark pasts, but I don't care, as long as it doesn't get out and affect the cooperation between our families. So, our justice crusader, try not to use your powers, okay?"

Hearing the rising tone at the end, they realized Cen Ting was deliberately joking.

Or rather, all the previous scandals had a sense of justice prevailing, but in her case with her fiancé Jing Yu, there was no such thing as justice. Even if Ji Fei discovered something shady, it didn't need to be exposed.

Because she simply didn't care. She agreed to the arranged marriage to gain the family's promise to let her pursue her passion. Since she couldn't help with the family business, she had enjoyed the benefits of her family for so many years and naturally had to pay some price.

A superficial marriage in exchange for her dream to flourish was a fair trade in her eyes.

After all, she had no interest in romantic relationships.

Hearing Cen Ting joke so rarely, everyone laughed along.

Only Jing Yan's expression gradually grew more complicated.

As the vehicles arrived one by one to pick everyone up.

Finally, only Jing Yan, Ji Fei, and Qin Xian were left.

As their car arrived, Jing Yan suddenly stepped forward impulsively, looking at Ji Fei, hesitating to speak.

"Something on your mind?" Qin Xian asked.

Ji Fei looked over, and Jing Yan seemed to suddenly snap out of it, his eyes flickering with panic, his teeth clenched, but he didn't speak.

Ji Fei raised an eyebrow, her expression ambiguous as she said, "Could it be that you're also worried about the upcoming engagement party, afraid I'll mess up your cousin Jing Yu and Cen Ting's happy future?"

Jing Yan's expression was awkward, and his eyes also flashed with self-mockery, feeling absurd, like a desperate man suddenly turning to faith.

Just as he was about to deny it, he heard Ji Fei say sarcastically again, "Or are you hoping I'll definitely be there to use my powers and ruin the engagement party?"
