This hotel had a very famous terrace that overlooked the entire city's nightscape.
Su Banxia walked slowly toward it, but as soon as she stepped onto the stairs, she ran straight into Gu Feifei.
"What, did Pei Shaoze dump you already? Figures—with a look like yours, no man would want to give you a second glance. How could you possibly deserve to stand by Pei Shaoze's side?"
Seeing Su Banxia alone, Gu Feifei suddenly gained confidence and let out a cold laugh.
"If I don't deserve it, do you?"
"You couldn't even hold onto a man like Ren Yuan, and now you're delusional enough to go after Pei Shaoze? Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror!"
"A scumbag like Ren Yuan? I wouldn't take him even if he were handed to me for free. And now you're bragging about him? Miss Gu, you're truly pathetic!"
Su Banxia had no time to waste trading barbs with Gu Feifei. She turned to leave, but Gu Feifei suddenly grabbed her arm and shoved her hard!
"Ah!"
Su Banxia screamed as she tumbled down the stairs.
In extreme fear, everyone has a survival instinct.
Su Banxia was no exception. She flailed her arms wildly, trying to grab onto something.
Luck was on her side—one hand caught the stair railing, while the other seized Gu Feifei's swaying skirt, instinctively yanking it hard.
Gu Feifei, already off-balance, was pulled down the stairs by Su Banxia's tug.
With a sharp tearing sound, Gu Feifei crashed to the ground, her skirt ripped open, exposing her thighs.
Steadying herself, a shaken Su Banxia sneered at the sight. "Miss Gu, what era are we in? Still pulling this old trick?"
"You bitch, don't get too cocky—"
Gu Feifei glared venomously at Su Banxia, but mid-sentence, her expression shifted dramatically, and she suddenly looked pitiful beyond measure. "Why did you push me? And—and tear my clothes! You're so vicious!"
"Feifei!"
Ren Yuan's anxious voice rang out. He rushed past Su Banxia to Gu Feifei's side. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Ren Yuan turned back with a furious glare. "Su Banxia, what are you doing! If you have a problem, take it out on me!"
Ha...
Su Banxia rolled her eyes dramatically. Take it out on you? Back then, I wanted to slap you silly.
"You're blind and stupid, and you sure know how to flatter yourself!"
She couldn't stand it for another second. "I don't have time to play your games. You'd better not come after me again!"
Su Banxia coldly dropped those words and was about to turn away when a sharp pain shot through her ankle, freezing her in place.
That gave Ren Yuan an opening. He grabbed Su Banxia's arm tightly. "Apologize to Feifei!"
"Let go of me, you lunatic!"
"Apologize!"
As the two struggled, a sudden force pulled Su Banxia away, and she found herself stumbling into someone's arms from the momentum.
Once steady, Su Banxia realized it was Pei Shaoze's embrace. His chest was broad and warm, and he looked down at her with a stern face.
The close eye contact made Su Banxia's heart pound. "President, I—"
"What took you so long?"
Pei Shaoze shot a sharp glare, its intensity making Ren Yuan's legs go weak. "Are you bullying my secretary?"
"Huh? No, no, how could we..."
Ren Yuan's guilt flickered, but then he thought, wait—he was in the right here. He straightened up. "Su Banxia pushed my fiancée. She has to apologize!"
Oh? Pei Shaoze's gaze shifted to Gu Feifei.
Seeing this, Gu Feifei immediately put on a pitiful act, looking at Pei Shaoze with tearful eyes and even tugging her torn skirt higher.
A flicker of mockery passed through Pei Shaoze's eyes.
"Is that so?"
"I don't have that kind of free time."
Su Banxia was sick of Gu Feifei's act. "If she hadn't tried to harm me, she wouldn't have reaped what she sowed."
"I see." Pei Shaoze turned to Ren Yuan. "You heard her."
"She's lying! She pushed me!"
Gu Feifei shrieked in accusation.
Su Banxia couldn't care less about what she was saying right now. Her mind was entirely focused on how to get away.
Because from the moment Pei Shaoze had pulled her close, he'd kept her pressed against him, his hand firmly on her waist with no sign of letting go.
Su Banxia's heart raced. She had to leave, and fast!
