Chapter 218: Chapter 218 Let Her Go! _1
 

Jian Yufei didn’t elaborate further on her statement, believing that justice resided solely within her heart.

Ruan Tianling slightly furrowed his brows, casting a cold gaze at the defiant Jian Yufei.

“You sure have a sharp tongue! However, the truth lies before us. No matter how you argue, no one will believe you!” Xu Man coldly declared before turning to the security men who were holding Jian Yufei.

“Make her kneel and apologize to us!”

Following the order, the guards forcefully pushed Jian Yufei, trying to make her kneel. She gritted her teeth and resisted, but her knees slowly began to bend under their oppression.

The fancy and extravagant banquet hall was filled with influential people.

However, nobody interceded on her behalf. They all watched her coldly, witnessing a woman with no background being humiliated. Beneath their ostentatious clothing, they were all haughty and heartless.

In their eyes, Jian Yufei’s human rights and dignity were insignificant. They saw her as nothing more than a lowly waitress, while they treated themselves like gods.

Jian Yufei lifted her head, staring at all the indifferent faces and the condescending eyes around her.

She felt a sudden surge of hatred.

She hated Xu Man and others for their bullying but hated herself more for her helplessness.

If she wasn’t a powerless woman without any background, would they dare to humiliate her?

They were simply taking advantage of her vulnerability. Especially Yan Yue, who was eagerly waiting for her divorce from Ruan Tianling to further scorn her.

With these thoughts, Jian Yufei’s gaze turned towards Ruan Tianling.

She looked at him coldly, with no plea in her eyes.

Ruan Tianling, you and Yan Yue are perfect for each other. In your world, only the strong and weak matter, not right or wrong. You’ve bullied me, and now Yan Yue is coming after me.

You two are a match made in heaven.

Jian Yufei curled her lips, revealing a silent smirk. Her knees were about to touch the ground, and her dignity was about to be trampled underfoot.

Her heart was growing colder.

So be it, so what if she kneels? After all, she is still herself, and she will not seek death over such matters.

Jian Yufei withdrew her gaze from Ruan Tianling’s deep eyes, slightly lowering her gaze.

She had admitted defeat and compromised, wasn’t that enough?

Since they insisted on making her kneel, she would kneel.

Jian Yufei’s long eyelashes drooped, her once icy face now carried traces of loneliness and despair. Ruan Tianling’s heart fluttered. As he was about to speak up to free her, a male voice suddenly intruded and weighed in.

“Let her go!”

The powerful, deep voice captured everyone’s attention. A tall and imposing man strode forward and forcefully clasped one of the guard’s wrists, almost breaking his bones.

Feeling the pain, the guard quickly released Jian Yufei’s arm, and the other, terrified by the scene, also instinctively let go.

Jian Yufei, suddenly released, stumbled and fell into the man’s arms.

A refreshing, masculine scent filled her nostrils. Her face pressed against his body, she could feel the steady rise and fall of his chest.
