Chapter 179 The Banquet Scene 2
Upon hearing the word "Zhao pork," Zhao Jing'er's face instantly froze.
"What's wrong? You've made it big and you don't recognize your fellow villagers anymore? Have you forgotten when you asked me to check the stamp on your butt and asked if I could remove it?"
Fatty Lin's face darkened, and he shouted again.
Zhao Jing'er froze completely, unsure whether to reply or not.
I secretly gave Fatty Lin a thumbs up; he's really awesome!
If it were me, I really wouldn't have the nerve to say something like that.
"Oh ho, you fucking turn your back on me now? Have you forgotten how you were mocked by those people in Beijing's elite circles back then because of the pockmark on your butt, and were called 'Pork Girl'?"
"If I hadn't stood up for you back then, you'd be fucking humiliated by everyone. Now you're acting all high and mighty with me, pretending you don't know me. Are you even human?"
Seeing that Zhao Jing'er remained silent, Fatty Lin became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.
Getting carried away, he turned his head and said, "Brother Wei, you don't need to pull me back. I have to argue with her. Isn't this like forgetting the well-digger when you're drinking the water?"
After saying that, he completely let go of Zeng Xiaowei, strode forward, and seemed to be heading up the stairs to confront Zhao Jing'er.
This move almost made Zeng Xiaowei cry.
Upstairs, Zhao Jing'er's face was no longer stiff, but had turned a purplish-eggplant color.
When she was splashed with something during an event, it was only for a moment, and security personnel quickly escorted her away. Even though she was uncomfortable, she didn't have to face any questions.
This time was different. Fatty Lin publicly criticized her, and she couldn't escape. Not only could she not escape, but no one stood up for her or subdued Fatty Lin.
Those who can enter this hall are mostly celebrities, people who value their reputation and are sensible.
Everyone understands that anyone who dares to cause trouble in this kind of situation must be someone of considerable status, and they wouldn't risk their lives to help Zhao Jing'er.
"Someone's here?"
Seeing that Fatty Lin had already rushed up to the first and a half floor, Jin Gu first called for help, then looked at Fatty Lin and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
"Mr. Jin, ask her, she knows who I am!"
Fatty Lin stopped, pointed at Zhao Jing'er, and said, "This shameless woman! I treated her so well back then, and now she's pretending not to know me!"
"Master Lin, we've only met twice, and only once in private. You can say whatever you want; there's no need to slander me like this!" After the buffer of Jin Gu, Zhao Jing'er calmed down, stared into Fatty Lin's eyes, and retorted.
"I slandered you?"
Fatty Lin scoffed and said, "If that's what you're saying, there are so many women here. Why don't you just call a few of them and go back to your room with you to see if you have any marks on your body?"
"Is it, Pork Girl?"
Lin the Fat Man spoke slowly and deliberately, emphasizing each word as he finished.
"Security, security, take him out."
Zhao Jing'er gathered her strength and was about to retaliate when Jin Gu, getting a little anxious, pointed at the security guards who had just arrived and gave them an order.
"Sir!"
The security guard didn't dare to force him, but instead gestured for Fatty Lin to proceed.
"Fine, Zhao Pork, you're something else. Remember this: from now on, don't come looking for me if you need anything!" Fatty Lin snorted coldly, pointed at Zhao Jing'er through gritted teeth, and turned to leave.
As he came downstairs and passed by me, Fatty Lin gave me a wink, raised an eyebrow, and then left with the two security guards.
"Alright, let's continue!"
After Fatty Lin was asked to leave, Jin Gu clapped his hands.
They said they would continue, but after Lin Pangzi's commotion, everyone looked at Zhao Jing'er with a strange gaze.
Zhao Jing'er had excellent mental fortitude; she quickly regained her composure and chatted and laughed with those around her as if nothing had happened.
I knew it was my turn to step in.
"Ah, a ghost!"
To my surprise, before I could even exert my strength, Long Nier suddenly pointed at Zhao Jing'er and screamed. Due to her excessive excitement, she lost control of the wine glass in her hand and threw it forward, spilling the bright red wine onto Zhao Jing'er.
The scream alerted Zhao Jing'er. Seeing the wine spill, she dodged it, her gaze towards Long Ni'er filled with hatred.
"what!"
Before she could even speak, screams erupted as well-dressed celebrities and socialites ran out in terror.
The women were like that, and the men weren't much better off, howling as they retreated.
Their reason for doing so was simple: although Zhao Jing'er dodged the spilled wine, a baby with bruises all over its body, flesh turned inside out, and blood gushing out appeared on the ground right after the wine hit the ground.
The baby had no eyes; instead, there were two dark holes in its eye sockets from which pus and blood continuously flowed, dripping onto the ground.
Upon realizing he had been seen, the baby seemed agitated, crawling forward a couple of times and leaving a trail of blood on the ground.
His climb completely threw everything into chaos.
I didn't expect Long Nier to pull this stunt. After a moment of surprise, I grabbed Long Nier, who had run over, and we walked out together with the flow of people.
As we walked out, I noticed that Li Feihong was running slowly with the crowd, and he even had time to look in my direction.
When he noticed me looking at him, he gave me an awkward smile, nodded, and then quickly turned and ran outside.
After we came out of the villa, Long Nier whispered in my ear, "Brother, I just added a Yin-Connecting Gu to the wine, making the baby who was with Zhao Jing'er appear. This appearance won't last long, so when you go back with Fatty, just pretend!"
"knew!"
I nodded, waved to Fatty Lin on the other side, and called out, "Master Lin Xuanjing, there's a little devil inside!"
"Is it a ghost?"
Fatty Lin understood instantly, his expression hardening. He stepped forward against the flow of people and shouted, "I'm a Taoist priest, don't be afraid!"
After shouting, he made a hand seal with one hand and took out a talisman with the other. With a flick of his wrist, the talisman shot out like a dart towards the villa gate.
Just as they were about to enter the hall, the entire talisman suddenly burst into flames with a "poof" sound.
This move calmed many people down; the previously chaotic crowd seemed to have found their leader and voluntarily made way for them.
I followed the momentum and rushed into the hall with Fatty Lin.
Inside the hall, Zhao Jing'er was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, retreating backward incessantly.
She took a step back, and the wounded baby crawled forward a step, but the baby seemed to be wary of something and never dared to pounce on Zhao Jing'er.
"Hey, you little brat, get out of here!"
Seeing this, Fatty Lin once again formed a sword-finger gesture and shouted fiercely at the little devil.
After shouting, Fatty Lin pretended to chant a spell.
He chanted the incantation very quickly, and I couldn't hear what it was. What I can say for sure is that it wasn't for exorcising ghosts; he was probably just chanting nonsense.
"Help me! Help me!"
Upon seeing us, Zhao Jing'er couldn't hold back any longer and scrambled towards us.
As she rushed forward, the little ghost followed, but its color dimmed considerably, gradually becoming transparent.
Lin the Fat and I exchanged a glance, then stepped forward simultaneously to block Zhao Jing'er, leaving a half-meter gap between us, just enough for outsiders to see what was happening.
