Jiang Li’s face turned pale with fear.

Even her mother was struck dumb by the challenge.

All the wealthy guests were starting to stir with the onset of this fiasco.

The number one socialite in the city had never been so humiliated. Her hair was still dripping with the wine and the front of her exquisite gown had gone dirty and wet.

As a highly popular socialite in high society, this was just too embarrassing!

No matter how cunning she could be after all, she was only 17 and she began to sob.

With no good line of defense, she had to prevent any possibility of going to the guard room at all costs and acting as a damsel in distress might be the best way out of this tricky situation.

Even if Jiang Mianmian was right, she would lose sympathy due to her aggressive and domineering behavior.

Everyone loved to support the weak and no one cared for arrogant girls like the older Jiang.

……

General Zhan held onto Mianmian’s slender waist without a word and looked at her with his deep-set eyes.

The girl shook her head. This was a signal to him that she could still walk and did not need him to carry her.

The man did not force her as well.

He knew that for her, a girl still in the youthful, rebellious phase, her pride was at stake here.

Before the public, she was more wary of losing her face rather than cry out in pain.

So, even though her injury had pained and upset him, he gave in to her headstrong attitude.

As a man with immense power, Zhan Muqian had shown great indulgence to his little girl with this permissive act.

Amidst the commotion, her father, Jiang Xun, arrived on the scene with the cabinet ministers.

Jiang Li’s crying tuned up a few decibels deliberately.

He frowned when he saw her, before he noticed the blood stains on her gown.

The President was shocked. “Mianmian, are you hurt?”

Tugging the corner of her lips, she replied, “Dad, I wish you a happy 45th birthday. May you live a long and fruitful life.”

Her father was obviously anxious over her injury. “I’m glad you’re back home but you are injured and should let the doctor take a look…”

She cut him off in the middle of his speech with a look of said defiance on her youthful, tender face.

“This is only a superficial wound, Uncle Zhan will bring me to the hospital later. However… daddy, I won’t be returning home within this period of time. It looks like this family… cannot accept me.”

Nervous, her father walked up to the couple and attempted to stop them from leaving upon hearing that.

The general who had been keeping quiet all this time suddenly raised his shoulder and wrapped his arm under his protective wings.

With a face devoid of expression, the man told the President, “Your Excellency, I’ve personally witnessed the incident today and from the look of things… From now onwards, you don’t have to worry over Mianmian’s life.”

“From now on, I’ll take care of Jiang Mianmian.”

The President’s face sank.

The guests had turned speechless by now as well.

What is happening here…

General Zhan, who’s normally aloof and restrained, has openly announced his willingness to take care of a young girl.

Everyone started to debate the relationship between the two…

……

Holding tightly onto her soft waist, the two of them leisurely left the banquet hall.

The girl clasped her hands over her grinning lips. Lifting her chin to look at the man with a mischievous look, she asked, “Uncle, how can everyone not be overwhelmed with me when you are here to lend weight to my bragging? By the way, why are you here when you’re supposed to be at the inspection parade?”

The man gave a slight smile, an adoring look sparkled in his eyes.

“I rushed over from the military zone in a rather conspicuous military jeep. It aids in your boasting too, right?”
