C275 A Fierce Blow

She was no longer the same Tao Ning who was bullied and didn't know how to fight back. She was also no longer the girl who looked ordinary in the eyes of these people. She was just a girl who possessed the bloodline of the Wei family.

What she wanted was for everyone to look at her in a completely different way. They would not look at her lightly anymore.

However, Tao Ning didn't know that when all these gazes changed, Wei Tingjun's gaze also changed.

Tao Ning used such a simple and clear way to state the fact that she had left home and the origin of another name. While everyone was shocked, when they looked back at Gu Zhengchu, their gazes also became somewhat ambiguous.

It seemed that he had nothing to say this time. He couldn't help being embarrassed. He was going to leave angrily, right?

However, just as everyone was thinking this in their hearts, Gu Zhengchu slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said with a rather emotional tone.

"I didn't expect Miss Wei to give me so much convenience. It seems like Miss Wei's friendship with me is still there!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like the sound of thunder exploding in the middle of the ball. The impact of these words was no less than when Gu Zhengchu suspected Tao Ning's identity, or even more.

The only daughter of Wei family actually had a relationship with Young Master Gu Huating? This was truly inconceivable. Huating and Jin Lan had been incompatible for many years. The two of them had actually been together. This matter involved not only the grudges between the two families but also the interests of the two families' companies.

Because it involved so many people that it was sufficient to cause one to be tongue-tied, the gazes of all the guests didn't forget to cast a glance at Wei Tingjun as they looked at each other.

As the head of the Jin Lan Corporation, and he had just found Wei Zhen Hua's only daughter, he had actually received such an unexpected and embarrassing news. One could imagine how he felt.

Tao Ning tried her best to control the anger in her heart and didn't show it on her face. At this moment, she must not be controlled by Gu Zhengchu. Otherwise, she would lose her composure in front of everyone. Gu Zhengchu could use this as a reason to make a big fuss. At that time, everyone would believe his words and think that there was some kind of relationship between the two of them.

Or she could imagine the past between the two of them. This was definitely a situation she did not want to see, because she could not afford to lose face for that person, and she could not let her big brother by her side lose face together with her.

"Gu Zhengchu, you think too much. For someone like you who speaks without thinking, my ball doesn't welcome you." Tao Ning suppressed the anger in her heart and showed him an extremely faint smile.

She could only attribute Gu Zhengchu's shameless words to his words without thinking. She would rather everyone believe that Gu Zhengchu was a madman and let her go.

But she should have also expected that Gu Zhengchu was definitely not a good person. His purpose of coming here today was to ruin her dance, so that she would become a joke when she officially announced in front of everyone that she was a part of the Wei family.

This was his revenge on her!

Gu Zhengchu looked back at her and the smile on his face was full of ridicule. "Miss Wei, to you, I have never been brainless. Otherwise, why would I have a child with you?"

After Gu Zhengchu's voice fell, the entire ball became strangely quiet. Even if a needle fell on the ground, it could still be heard. Everyone's eyes fell on Tao Ning.

She thought that she had completely calmed down that panicky heart of hers. As long as she kept telling herself... You are Wei Jiyue, there is nothing to be afraid of. Then, when she received everyone's strange gazes, she could smile calmly.

But she did not expect that she was still so weak. When Gu Zhengchu's punch came, she fell down. Then, under everyone's questioning or mocking gazes, she could not stand up anymore, just like a woman.

Perhaps she really hoped that she could die immediately, or perhaps she could save some face for herself.

But the ridiculous fact was that not only did she not die, but the dance still had to continue.

Wei Tingjun's face was as cold as a block of ice. He had been at Wei Zhen Hua's funeral for a long time. Gu Zhengchu had already made him lose face once, and now he was going to do it again. He hoped that everyone would know that he had tarnished Wei Jiyue, and that Wei Jiyue had given birth to his seed. In the battle between Jin Lan and Huating, he was the absolute victor.

Wei Tingjun raised his hand, and all the bodyguards had already arrived around Gu Zhengchu. Gu Zhengchu's bodyguards immediately made preparations to meet the attack. If it wasn't for the fact that this was the dance scene, both sides would have already started fighting.

Gu Zhengchu waited for a long time, but he didn't hear Tao Ning's reply. He didn't even look at her. She definitely knew what he said just now, but she did not reply as expected.

Was it because she was hit by his words, or was it because she did not want to talk to him anymore?

Gu Zhengchu stared at him for a moment, then turned around and waved his hand. The bodyguards who followed him immediately followed behind him and left the ball quickly, just like when he had come, so fast that it was like a gust of wind.

But Tao Ning's condition was completely messed up. She could no longer be as calm as when he appeared.

Seeing that she did not say a word and was absent-minded, Wei Tingjun frowned and said to Fei Aoting, "Take Jiyue to the backstage to rest first."

Hearing this, Tao Ning felt relieved and followed Fei Aoting to the backstage. She could finally leave that suffocating dance.

As expected, she should not have come. Why would someone like her come to hold a dance? She had long known that Gu Zhengchu would come to ruin the situation. She should not have shown up at all. In the end, she really didn't gain any face for herself. At the same time, she had also lost all her remaining face.

"Miss Jiyue, let's drink a cup of water first!" Fei Aoting brought a cup of water over.

After Tao Ning took it, the cup trembled because of her trembling hands and the water in the cup came out.

Fei Aoting saw it and quickly helped her hold it, "What is it? Is it hot? It can't be. I only came over when I felt cold."

"It's fine. It's not hot." Tao Ning took Fei Aoting's hand to put the cup to her lips and swallowed with some difficulty. The warm water flowed down her throat into her stomach and her body seemed to be comforted. It was no longer trembling so violently.

"I really want to leave this place right now!" Tao Ning said from the bottom of her heart. Although this place was far away from the noisy ball, she still felt that it was difficult to breathe. It was like a fish placed on the shore, and she really wanted to go back into the water.

She had to leave this place and get away from this place that was not suitable for her. Only then would she be able to breathe as freely as if she had gotten water!

"But..." Fei Aoting frowned.

Just now, she had been by Tao Ning's side. What happened to her... And she can understand what she's feeling right now. She also wanted to help Tao Ning, but she could not do that. She would take Tao Ning away from here, or else Wei Tingjun would find out. He would definitely kill her.
