Li Qingcang walked out of the washroom calmly, as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile, the three men in the washroom groaned as they tried to get up.

They felt as if they had been run over by a heavy truck, and the bones in their body felt as if they had been rearranged. Their bones made creaking sounds every time they moved.

The three of them looked at each other and felt like wailing.

Damn it. That was too embarrassing.

They were from rich clans in the capital, yet they couldn’t do anything against Li Qingcang.

If anyone else were to find out that they had been beaten singlehandedly, they would become the butt of all jokes in their circle for years! They wouldn’t tell a soul about what happened in the washroom.

Li Qingcang walked through the crowd and returned to Ye Tianxin’s side.

Ye Tianxin and Jing Zhichen were talking about getting their grandmothers a DNA test.

“Bro, You look…you look like…you’re…,” Jing Zhichen stammered when he saw Li Qingcang.

Li Qingcang’s gaze landed on Ye Tianxin. He wanted to dote on her as if she were a princess. He did not want her to be bothered by the affairs of the world. He wanted her to be carefree.

He had not considered the consequences of him bringing Little Tianxin in this event. He felt that he was partly to blame for the gossips about Ye Tianxin.

Li Qingcang felt guilty, and he informed Jing Zhichen, “I shall take Tianxin and leave now.”

“So fast?”

‘Weren’t you planning to let Ye Tianxin gain a foothold in the social circles of the capital today?’ Jing Zhichen thought

The dance has only just begun, and Li Qingcang was leaving so early. Why?

Did something happen?

“We will take our leave first.”

Li Qingcang held Ye Tianxin’s hand and pulled her out of the ballroom under the gazes of everyone present.

The atmosphere in the ballroom immediately grew cold and tense. Those who had gossiped about Ye Tianxin were worried for some reason.

Not long after the two had left, Jing Zhichen heard that some people had gotten beaten up inside the washroom.

The three men kept mum and refused to say anything about who struck them.

Jing Zhichen naturally understood then that the three of them must have annoyed Li Qingcang.

He looked at everyone coldly and harrumphed.

“Young Master Jing!”

Jing Zhichen grabbed the man’s collar and growled, “What did you all talk about just now?”

“We did not talk about anything!”

Jing Zhichen let go of the man and took off his coat. He slowly rolled his sleeves up his arms and looked as if he was getting ready to fight.

“Young Master Jing, it really wasn’t me. It was them. They said that the girl Young Master Li had brought with him is an illegitimate daughter. They said that her mother slept with other men. I…”

“Young Master Jing, we didn’t know either. We heard it from other people.”

“Young Master Jing, today is Old Madame Xie’s birthday banquet. Don’t…”

One of the men tried to stop Jing Zhichen, but he just kicked the man violently.

“Which one of you spread these rumors? You better come out now. One, two…”

Yan Qingqing, who was standing in the crowd, trembled in fear.

She did not understand what kind of spell Ye Tianxin had enthralled Li Qingcang with.

She did not know why Jing Zhichen was so protective of Ye Tianxin.

She only knew that if she did not leave, someone would give away the fact that she had been the one who started the rumors.

“Young Master Jing, it was Yan Qingqing.”

Yan Qingqing’s body immediately froze.

People turned to look at her. She was embarrassed and angry at the same time.

What should she do now?

Should she admit it?

Or should she flee?
