Chapter 109 How dare you! What gives you the right to act so unreasonably in front of me?
Inside the banquet hall, a piercing roar tore through the already tense atmosphere, instantly igniting an already explosive tension, like detonating an invisible bomb. Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, desperately fighting off the surging panic within her, and glanced at Qin Yu. His brows were slightly furrowed, clearly uneasy about the sudden turn of events.
"What's going on?" he asked a bodyguard in a low voice, his tone authoritative and calm. The bodyguard looked grave and shook his head. "It's not clear yet. It's possible that an important person has arrived. We're dealing with it."
"Anyway, we need to be careful." Qin Yu's words carried a hint of unease, but his eyes never left Yu Yuetong. She felt her heart pounding violently, as if she were being swept into a whirlpool.
Just then, the banquet hall door was suddenly pushed open, and several staff members in black suits rushed in. At this moment, Ji Momo seemed to have seen an opportunity, her smile became even more blatant, and the smugness on her face was like that of a hawk soaring in the sky.
"Everyone! Everyone!" Ji Momo swept her gaze across the room, her eyes like sharp blades as she swept over Yu Yuetong and Qin Yu. Her voice was high-pitched and provocative, "It seems that tonight's feast is not over yet! If you want the truth, you'll have to start with me. You'd better listen carefully!"
Yu Yuetong's anger surged again, as if it were burning her very bones. She knew deep down that if Ji Momo continued, the consequences would be dire. Yet, she had nowhere to vent her pent-up frustration as she listened to Ji Momo's increasingly arrogant words.
"Seriously, don't think I'm just a princess!" Ji Momo rested her chin on her hand, feigning a thoughtful posture, her eyes glancing at Yu Yuetong as she added pointedly, "I'm a person with real power, someone who can make it impossible for you to move an inch in this circle!"
"You'd better think this through!" Yu Yuetong gritted her teeth, like a wild beast cornered against a wall, barely managing to look her in the eye. "I'm not someone to be trifled with. If you continue to be so rude, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Oh? How interesting." Ji Momo raised an eyebrow, a contemptuous smile curving her lips, her eyes filled with disdain. "You said it yourself, and I'd like to see what you can do to me!"
Before she could finish speaking, the banquet doors opened again, and a woman in a magnificent gown walked in, exuding an air of unparalleled authority. The entire room fell silent instantly, all eyes fixed on her, the tension palpable as if a pause button had been pressed.
"What's going on here?" The woman looked directly at everyone present, her tone exuding an unquestionable authority.
Yu Yuetong broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing the newcomer. This was not the first time she had seen this stunning woman; she was none other than Han Shuang, who wielded immense power and influence. As Qin Yu's mother, she held a pivotal position in both the business world and her family.
"Ms. Han, I—" Qin Yu was about to speak when Han Shuang glared at him, and he immediately froze. Her gaze fell coldly on Yu Yuetong, as if she were scrutinizing an ant with disdain.
"I don't have time to listen to your arguments," Han Shuang's voice remained icy. "I'm here to make a request of you." As she spoke, her gaze fell on Ji Momo, and in an instant, it seemed as if the weight of the entire hall shifted toward her.
"If you dare to insist, I can get rid of you both anytime." Ji Momo raised her chin, her eyes revealing fearless provocation. Yu Yuetong felt even more nervous, cursing herself for becoming a clown and the subject of gossip.
"Enough." Qin Yu finally couldn't hold back any longer. He approached Ji Momo step by step. "How many conspiracies are you hiding behind this? Trying to suppress me and Yue Tong? Do you think such methods will succeed?"
"Oh—" Ji Momo's lips curled slightly, her eyes sparkling with pleasure. "Are you threatening me? It seems I don't need to make any deals. You'll regret angering me!"
"Making such a scene doesn't necessarily mean you'll get away with it." Han Shuang broke the deadlock between the two, her voice carrying an arrogant and oppressive tone. "I just want to spare your lives, but if you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Yu Yuetong's heart pounded like a drum, her brows furrowed, sensing the increasingly complex situation, as if she were being drawn into a bottomless vortex. Revising her plans might reverse things, and her position weighed even heavier on her heart. Amidst this complex struggle, she tirelessly searched for a way out.
Not far away, Ji Momo's reflection in the pool became increasingly clear. As Han Shuang focused her attention, the shadow grew stronger, enveloping her as if it might unleash a destructive burst of light at any moment. Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, trying to calm her turbulent emotions.
With Han Shuang's arrival, the atmosphere in the banquet room suddenly became tense, like a string stretched to its limit, ready to snap at any moment. Yu Yuetong felt uneasy, her mind quickly reviewing her argument with Ji Momo, as if she had prepared for this moment, yet she felt at a loss under Han Shuang's pressure.
"Why don't you let me handle this little problem?" Ji Momo smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a challenging edge, like a cheetah about to pounce. She walked towards Han Shuang, with an undeniable air of contempt.
"Hmph, you think you can be so smug in front of me?" Han Shuang sneered, her boundless aura instantly overwhelming everyone, causing them to involuntarily hold their breath. Han Shuang slightly raised her fingertips, her gaze scanning the surroundings as if she were examining a grand feast about to begin, but the curve of her lips revealed a hint of disdain.
Seeing that she was no longer the center of attention, Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, her anger surging. She subtly shook her hand to rouse herself: "Don't stay silent! I can't let this charade go to waste." She shouted at Ji Momo: "You're only so arrogant because of your family background. Do you really think you're a princess?"
These words, like a cannonball, instantly ignited the atmosphere of the banquet and attracted everyone's attention. Ji Momo, who had caused quite a stir, was stunned when she heard Yu Yuetong's retort. She then feigned innocence and asked, "Oh? Little Yuetong, where did you get the courage? Do you think you can be the center of attention here?"
Yu Yuetong's eyes lit up, and her courage seemed to be ignited. She immediately stepped forward and said, "At least I have the courage to confront you head-on, while you are just a little girl who is bluffing!" Although her voice was soft, it was firm and powerful. People around her had already begun to whisper, and the argument seemed to be getting more and more intense.
"How dare you!" Han Shuang lost her patience, her gaze fixed on Yu Yuetong, her tone revealing an unyielding authority. "You're just a fallen heiress, what gives you the right to act so unreasonably in front of me?"
