Chapter 2735: Chapter 2735: The Ulterior Invitation (6)

"Miss Yu, where are you rushing off to?"

"..." Meimei lifted her head, meeting her haughty gaze, her brow furrowed tightly.

She tried to withdraw her hand, but Zhong Qing refused to let go.

"Actually, you shouldn’t take their words to heart. After all, others don’t know, but you are clear that Mr. Tingye should only have a sibling-like bond with you. As long as you keep your distance from him, naturally nobody will gossip."

Zhong Qing watched her stunned expression, the smile on her lips growing more pronounced.

"I remember the last time you came to the manor; you were Young Master Jiang Nan’s date. If you get entangled with Mr. Tingye again, what will the outside world say about you, and how will they talk about Mr. Tingye?"

"Tingye and I aren’t siblings; we are not related by blood!" Meimei instinctively retorted.

"No matter what, legally, you are siblings. As long as this relationship exists, you can never be together." Zhong Qing coldly interrupted her, her gaze turning icy.

"..."

Meimei’s body jolted violently, raising her head in shock to look at her.

Panic erupted in her eyes as she forcefully pulled back her hand, turning to run outside.

The butler was pushing a champagne tower into the room from outside, and she was about to collide with it.

At the critical moment, Meimei suddenly stopped her pace, about to sidestep when a sudden force pushed her hard towards the champagne tower!

The entire champagne tower was made of glass; if she collided head-on, even if she didn’t ruin her face, she would be seriously injured for sure!

"Ah—"

Several timid young ladies in the living room screamed in fright.

Some even covered their eyes, not daring to look.

But they waited for quite a while yet didn’t hear the sound of the champagne tower falling and certainly didn’t hear Meimei’s cries for help.

When they looked over, they saw Dan Tingye standing in front of the champagne tower, and everyone froze, staring in disbelief at the extraordinarily handsome man before them.

Mr. Tingye, how did he come here?!

Moreover, he was holding Yu Xin, who should have fallen onto the pile of glass cups!

"Where are you hurt?" Dan Tingye’s face was grim, his deep black eyes anxiously scanning her petite body before they settled on her pale face.

His hand gripping her shoulder suddenly tightened.

"Tingye..."

Meimei also thought she was doomed, never expecting to fall into a warm chest at the last moment.

Facing his worried eyes, her nose suddenly soured, and she swallowed hard, finally shaking her head, "I’m okay."

"Dare to tell me you’re okay? If I were late..." Dan Tingye suddenly paused, his sharp, evil gaze fiercely scanning the nearest Yan Yan to Meimei.

He saw it clearly just now. Meimei was walking swiftly, but she was agile enough to avoid the champagne tower; it was this woman who forcefully pushed her from behind!

"Mr. Tingye, it—it wasn’t me, I..." Yan Yan stammered in panic, meeting his bloodthirsty gaze, frightened enough to keep stepping backward.

"You explain how it has nothing to do with you!" Dan Tingye lifted Meimei sideways in his arms, stepping menacingly close to Yan Yan, his eyes cold as a knife, seemingly wanting to cut her into pieces!

In her panic, Yan Yan turned to run but forgot there was a champagne tower right in front of her and directly crashed into it!
