Chapter 2654: Who Dares Touch a Single Hair on Her Head? (4)
"Mr. Dan..."
As soon as the security guards saw that it was Dan Tingye, they each showed a look of surprise. They helped up their companion, who had been kicked over by Dan Tingye, and stood respectfully to the side, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"Mr. Tingye..."
Yan Yan, who had been arrogant just moments ago, was so shocked to see Dan Tingye arrive as if from the sky that she couldn’t close her mouth. She stared blankly at his handsome face, unable to recover for a while.
Especially the words he had just said, resonating like a thunderclap in everyone’s ears.
While everyone was steeped in shock, too stunned to speak, Meimei suddenly saw Dan Tingye walking toward her and sweetly spoke up.
"Tingye."
Those simple four words again left the crowd, who had just managed to regain their composure, utterly shocked and bewildered!
Everyone knew that Dan Tingye was the only son of the Dan Family and didn’t have any sisters. Whoever he would protect like this and allow to call him "brother" must have an extraordinary status. Yet earlier, they had dared to point fingers at her, calling her lowly and unworthy to enter the banquet hall...
All of a sudden, those who had backed Yan Yan in targeting Meimei now looked extremely uncomfortable. As Dan Tingye glared at them with an angry face, they faltered, barely keeping themselves from collapsing to their knees!
"Mr. Tingye, it was all a misunderstanding. We didn’t know this young lady was your sister. If we had known..."
"If you had known, you wouldn’t have mocked her for her lack of a gown, saying her background wasn’t good?" Dan Tingye interrupted them coldly, his eyebrows furrowing into an imposing presence.
His sharp gaze scanned each person in front of him.
Instantly, those who had attempted to explain all knelt down in unison, "Mr. Tingye, we were blind, have mercy, don’t hold it against us."
"How could this happen..."
Even Yan Yan, who had been unable to recover her senses, finally realized that she had provoked someone she should not have. Her face turned ashen, and she slumped to the ground.
Her makeup was ruined by the champagne splashed on her, making her look even more frightening than a ghost.
She had planned to perform well today, hoping Mr. Tingye would notice her. Unfortunately, he did notice her, but only with eyes full of disgust and murderous intent...
Yan Yan trembled with fear!
Dan Tingye withdrew his gaze, turned around, and looked at Meimei, who had remained calm throughout. Her face was adorned with a faint smile since he arrived, showing no hint of the grievances she suffered.
Her confident demeanor suggested that even without him, she wouldn’t let herself be bullied unjustly.
Such a stubborn little girl.
"I’ve realized I can’t let you hang around with Youyou anymore; you’ve become as fierce as her. When did you learn karate?" Dan Tingye extended a hand, gently pinching her cheek with a tender yet doting gesture.
His enchanting face, like a fine piece of jade, appeared exceptionally gentle in the dim light. Coupled with the gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, everyone was momentarily entranced.
Meimei pouted, releasing Yan Yan and clapping her hands, "Dad taught me. He said every girl should learn some self-defense; it could protect us. I’m not as good as Youyou; I just know some basics."
If Yan Yan hadn’t badmouthed Tingye behind his back and she overheard it, she wouldn’t have gotten so angry and serious, causing Tingye to witness her getting into a fight.
