Ran Xueyi refused to make a comment. She was already sweating from the topic and she did not know how long she could keep a straight face in front of the twins.

Ignoring the two children bickering and arguing who was the best man to be her husband, Ran Xueyi glanced ahead and coincidentally, her eyes met with Yang Baihua's eyes. Surprisingly, the swelling in his other eye lessened by a lot and if one did not look closely, they wouldn't notice the faint bruise on his eyes.

He probably concealed it with a makeup product. Ran Xueyi laughingly thought as she looked next to Ran Yue, who was still brightly smiling to the crowd. Probably because she felt someone staring at her, Ran Yue's smile paused and she looked around her, only stopping when she found Ran Xueyi standing next to the twins.

Ran Xueyi saw Ran Yue lean over their mother and whisper something to her ear. Then, Mother Ran's eyes widened and looked around as well before stopping at where Ran Xueyi and the twins stood at their table.

Mother Ran made a gesture to the guests surrounding her and suddenly left their group.

"Shoot! Auntie is walking towards us!" Chang Ya announced.

Ran Xueyi also saw that her mother was making her way towards them, but she didn't feel nervous at all. She didn't even feel anything anymore after what she heard from them.

"Xueyi... since when did you arrive? Why didn't you come and greet us?" Mother Ran asked her. Looking at the tall and beautiful young woman in front of her. "Or are you waiting for your parents to come and greet you instead?"

Ran Xueyi ignored her mother's harsh words and replied, "How can I allow you to do that? Of course, I planned to greet you first, but when I arrived, I saw that you and father weren't around."

Mother Ran stared at Ran Xueyi for a long moment. Originally, she was suspicious of Ran Xueyi's appearance. She suspected that Ran Xueyi was the person who was behind that door, but she had no conclusive evidence that would support her suspicion. Besides, Ran Xueyi looked like she was telling the truth.

Moreover, if it was really Ran Xueyi who was eavesdropping earlier, she wouldn't have this calm and relaxed expression on her face.

After speculating for a few seconds, Mother Ran finally dropped her suspicion, not knowing that she was just walking on the right track before she was misled to walk on a twisted path.

"Well, since you're here... come with me. You shouldn't be here standing on the corner. What would people think if they saw you standing here?" Mother Ran finally acknowledged the presence of the twins and said, "Xiao Ya and Xiao Xin are here? Why not come to our table?"

Chang Ya didn't reply. It was Chang Xin who said, "Thank you, Auntie. But we'd like to stay here."

Chang Ya nodded her head. She didn't want to sit at the same table as Ran Yue and Yang Baihua at all!

Mother Ran was about to invite them once again when Ran Xueyi intervened, "Mother, there's no need to force them. They're just kids and they don't have to greet the guests."

"Let's go." Ran Xueyi said before walking forward, not intending to wait or walk side by side with her mother.

Mother Ran felt that Ran Xueyi was trying to keep a bit of distance between them, but at this moment, she really didn't care. Ran Xueyi already knew that they lied to her, Ran Xueyi's reaction was only natural.

So, Mother Ran didn't force herself to act as a benevolent and loving mother to her.

Of course, Ran Xueyi also didn't want her to act like that. Hence, she didn't even wait for her mother.

Seeing the two of them approaching, Ran Yue's face darkened. Earlier, she didn't notice it because the twins were standing by her side, but now that Ran Xueyi was standing right in front of her, Ran Yue's heart couldn't help but compare herself to her.

The two of them shared the same parents... Yet, why is it that when the two of them stood beside each other, Ran Xueyi would always outstand her!

And because of how Ran Yue was dressed, their differences were easily pointed out. One looked like a Sun Goddess who descended from the sky and the other, a lowly demoness who couldn't even touch the fire the goddess walked on.

Ran Yue wasn't the only one who also noticed this. However, they chose not to say anything for the sake of giving face to the birthday girl.

"Xueyi..." Ran Yue bitterly called out her sister's name.

Yang Baihua, who was standing next to her and was talking to a guest, froze and looked over. He saw a stunning figure walking towards him and was slightly dazed.

Ran Xueyi noticed their gazes and smiled. She moved her eyes to land on Yang Baihua and saw that he was a little bit dazed and his breathing seemed a bit erratic. What's wrong with him now?

Ah, that's right. Yang Baihua must be doing his best to restrain his anger and lash out at her after she punched him, right?

Yang Baihua was indeed trying his best to control his urges to drag Ran Xueyi somewhere else. Of course, he was angry after she punched him last time. However, all his anger turned into a mush the moment he saw her looking so gorgeous and beautiful. His anger dissipated into thin air as only the thought of pulling her somewhere private and seeing what was under that dress was filling his mind.

Ran Xueyi felt disgusted being stared at by him so she turned her attention to Ran Yue, who was scowling.

She continued walking with confidence, her queenly aura was overwhelming and everyone couldn't help but follow her strut to the center of the hall. Numerous cameras were also pointing their lenses to her and were showing everything to the viewers. The comments on the comment box continued to pour in and everyone was praising Ran Xueyi.

There were only a few steps left before Ran Xueyi reached them. She headed straight towards Yang Baihua and before the latter could react, a slap had already landed on his face.

The hall suddenly fell into an impregnable silence that one could even hear a pin dropping somewhere across the hall. But not only a second later, the silence broke as several people gasped and held their hands in front of their mouths, utterly shocked at the development of the party. What the hell was going on?

"Ran Xueyi!" Ran Mo Zheng suddenly yelled, "What the hell are you doing to Yang Baihua? Aren't you going to apologize to him?"

Ran Xueyi pulled back her hand and turned to her father. Her eyes were red as unshed tears pooled into her eyes. Those who could see her face and the way her eyes were filled with sadness and grief would pity her.

"Apologize? Do you even know what he has been doing?" Ran Xueyi suddenly asked.

Ran Mo Zheng and Ran Yue were alarmed. What was she talking about? Didn't she already find out about what they had been doing to her? Then, why was she acting as if she just only found out?

It wasn't only Father Ran and Ran Yue, who thought that something was wrong. Even Mother Ran, who was standing behind Ran Xueyi and Yang Baihua, who was inexplicably slapped out of nowhere, didn't understand what was going on.

"Stop making a scene, Xueyi!" Even though Mother Ran didn't know what Ran Xueyi was trying to do, she still needed to stop this situation from escalating. Who knows what people will find out if this continues. Besides... there were too many people who could see and hear this!

"How long have you been toying with me, Yang Baihua?" Ran Xueyi pulled away from her mother's grasp. "I know you've never loved me because our engagement was made because of our parents. But how could you do this to me?"

Ran Yue moved toward Yang Baihua. Her face was filled with concern for him. Then, she turned to Ran Xueyi and urgently said, "What are you doing? Are you out of your mind, Xueyi? Why did you slap him?"

Ran Xueyi sneered as she raised a corner of her lips. She was extremely calm and indifferent inside, but outwardly, her appearance looked as if she suffered under great stress and grievances. And all of it was caused by Yang Baihua.

"Don't defend her anymore, Ran Yue... That man doesn't need your protection," said Ran Xueyi, making Ran Yue and the others even more confused. "You're asking me why I am doing this and slapped him?"

"Who couldn't resist slapping the face of a scumbag like him after what I heard?" Ran Xueyi said loudly. Then, she pulled out her phone from her pouch and clicked a few times on the screen before a sound came out from the speakers on her phone.

Soon, the sound of ambiguous noises and voices of a man and woman poured out and entered everyone's ears.

Those who were still in doubt heard these noises. Even with their eyes closed, they could tell what was going on in that audio recorder. But they couldn't tell who those two people were in the audio.

However, Yang Baihua and Ran Yue were different. Their faces turned white quickly soon after the audio was played.

Those voices... Isn't that them?!
