C6 I Love Miss Su and I Don't Love You Anymore!
A cold voice echoed, and Su Ke turned to see Hsiang Sibai approaching.
"Young Master Hsiang!" Ai Zi exclaimed, as if she had found an ally, looking smugly at Su Ke.
Su Ke was amused by the woman's foolish behavior. In public, Ai Zi had openly accused Hsiang Sibai of keeping a female celebrity as a mistress. Did she really think Hsiang Sibai was there to back her up?
"Please escort this lady out," Hsiang Sibai instructed quietly.
Two strong security guards stepped forward from behind Hsiang Sibai, ready to remove Ai Zi without a word.
"What are you doing?" Ai Zi was shocked to realize they were coming for her.
"Young Master Hsiang!" Ai Zi shouted, "It was Miss Shen who sent me—ah! No... Miss Ye!"
Hsiang Sibai frowned, and the security guards, noticing his expression, covered Ai Zi's mouth and forcibly took her away.
"Stop!" Su Ke, who had been silent during the commotion, called out to the guards.
She turned back, calmly facing Hsiang Sibai.
"Just now, Miss Ai slandered me, claiming I was being kept by Young Master Hsiang."
"I think it's necessary for Miss Ai to clarify this in front of Young Master Hsiang."
"Everyone here is a witness, and I need to ask Young Master Hsiang directly."
"Am I being kept by you?"
Su Ke needed to continue her career in the entertainment industry and couldn't let such rumors ruin her reputation.
She looked at Hsiang Sibai with righteous confidence, as if nothing improper had ever happened between them. She knew that given Hsiang Sibai's status, he had to go along with her lie. She didn't believe Hsiang Sibai would openly admit at his own engagement party that he had once been involved with a movie star.
"Su Ke!" Hsiang Sibai hissed her name through clenched teeth, as if he wanted to strangle her. But as he glanced around at the curious eyes watching them, he realized that if he didn't cooperate with Su Ke's lie, both of them would face significant repercussions.
"Miss Su is an actress I greatly admire. There's nothing improper between us," he stated. "I have no idea where this young lady heard such rumors."
Hsiang Sibai maintained his composure, though his tone was icy, and his gaze swept over Ai Zi with a piercing intensity. It was only then that Ai Zi realized the mess she had created. If Shen Siyi found out that she had not only failed to reprimand Su Ke but also dragged Hsiang Sibai into the situation, she would be in serious trouble.
Ai Zi quickly nodded, following Hsiang Sibai's lead. "Yes, yes, it was just nonsense on my part. There's nothing improper between Young Master Hsiang and Miss Su. It's all my fault for speaking carelessly."
After speaking, Ai Zi noticed that neither Hsiang Sibai nor Su Ke responded. Gritting her teeth, she slapped her own face in frustration.
"I'm just talking nonsense!"
Seeing the situation, Su Ke lost her appetite and turned to leave the banquet hall. Hsiang Sibai gave a nod to security to escort Ai Zi out.
"Ye Yajing..." Su Ke walked into the garden, pondering the name Ai Zi had mentioned. Something flickered in her mind.
Coming back to her senses, Su Ke realized Hsiang Sibai was gripping her wrist tightly.
"Who invited you here?" With the situation resolved, Hsiang Sibai began to question Su Ke.
"That's none of your business," Su Ke replied.
"Su Ke, I'm warning you, don't try to cause trouble at the banquet," Hsiang Sibai said in a low voice.
Su Ke let out a sarcastic laugh. "You're overthinking it, Young Master Hsiang."
