Su Wan held Jiang Xuecheng's hand and walked forward together. She tilted her head to look at the man next to her, as if she had completely forgotten that there were so many thorny gazes around her.
never mind.
This wasn't the first time she had seen such a situation. It would be ridiculous if this could scare her.
Seeing Su Wan and the Emperor's son emerging from the crowd, Fiennes immediately chased after them.
He smiled at Su Wan apologetically with a sincere look.
"Your Highness, Miss Su, Tia's words are a little confusing, but what she said just now was not intended to target Miss Su's profession. Whether Miss Su likes playing the piano or cooking, it's the same in my heart..."
Seeing Fiennes defending his sister, Jiang Xuecheng remained silent, but Su Wan felt it was a little ridiculous.
The arrogant look and tone of Diya just now seemed to be mocking her own humble status and being unworthy of the prince of the Divine Court next to her.
And the onlookers were commenting on Tia one by one just to agree with her. Was that good intention
However, Su Wan would not get angry with Fiennes here. She only cared about Jiang Xuecheng's opinion. As for other people, they were irrelevant.
On the other hand, she had to thank Tia. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have known that Jiang Xuecheng was still willing to protect her.
Su Wan nodded at Fiennes, with a flawless smile on her face, but with a hint of alienation.
"It's okay, Master Fiennes, you don't have to explain. I understand."
Understanding does not mean liking, nor does it mean being able to accept.
However, Fiennes did not hear the hidden meaning of Su Wan. He breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, motioning his sister to come over.
Tia walked over reluctantly, and then quickly glanced at Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng's tightly clasped hands. She pouted, and a trace of grievance appeared on her bright face.
Really, do you think she is blind
My brother is obviously interested in this woman, and His Highness also treats her differently.
What's so good about Su Wan? !
If Fiennes wanted her to apologize to a lowly cook, no way!
"Your Highness, Brother..."
Tia looked around at Jiang Xuecheng and Fiennes, and nodded slightly to them, as if she didn't notice Su Wan's existence at all.
Seeing Tia being so petty, Fiennes couldn't help but sigh.
But in Fiennes' opinion, Tia didn't have bad intentions. His sister was straightforward and was just spoiled.
Tia was proud and arrogant, and Fiennes knew that with his sister's temper, it was impossible for her to apologize to Su Wan.
This is not what he wants, just a superficial peace.
"Tia, you are so forgetful. Let me introduce you formally again. This is Miss Su Wansu."
Fiennes said this, curling the corners of his lips towards Su Wan.
"Miss Su, this is my sister Tia. You should have heard of her a long time ago. Tia is straightforward and a little reckless. I hope you can tolerate her."
Su Wan was playing accompaniment backstage that day, and she had indeed seen Tiya's face a long time ago, but she knew Tiya, while Tiya had never seen her true face.
Su Wan still smiled slightly and nodded at Fiennes.
"Ok, I know."
Hearing her brother defending an outsider like this, Tia almost collapsed with anger.
What a joke, she is of noble status, how could she need the tolerance of a commoner woman? !
Moreover, Su Wan actually agreed without any hesitation, showing no sense of hierarchy at all.
"Tia, this is your first meeting with Miss Su, let's shake hands."
Seeing that Tia was unhappy, Fiennes coughed lightly and gave her a glare.
Diya felt extremely aggrieved and could only slowly stretch out her hand and hand it to Su Wan.
Su Wan was a little surprised when she saw Tia reaching out her hand. She had thought that this rich lady would never be willing to accommodate her.
Even with Fiennes' orders.
It seems that Tia and Fiennes have a really good relationship. Although they are not from the same mother, the fact that Tia listens to Fiennes so much shows their affection.
Regardless of whether Diya was sincere or not, Su Wan could not lose her manners. She quickly let go of Jiang Xuecheng's hand and shook hands with Diya in return.
"Miss Tia, hearing is worse than seeing. After meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed charming."
Su Wan looked at Tia calmly with a clear smile.
Tia snorted in her heart, feeling that Su Wan's words were extremely ironic.
—
Is this woman making fun of herself
Saying that she is charming?! Then why didn't the prince even look at her?!
Tia had just shaken hands with Su Wan for two seconds when she hurriedly withdrew her hand and rubbed her right hand against her left hand several times.
It was as if there was something dirty on Su Wan's hands that would cause her to be stained.
"Tsk, it's so dirty, I guess I have to wash my hands later."
Tia's voice was neither loud nor soft, but the few words she spoke were just loud enough for everyone in the audience to hear.
The people around were stunned, and some felt sympathy for Su Wan.
However, Su Wan did not seem embarrassed at all by Diya's humiliating behavior.
She looked calm and composed, and naturally stretched out her hand, letting it fall at the edge of her skirt. Her every frown and smile was calm.
The people nearby saw that Su Wan could remain so calm in the face of Tia's ridicule, and they couldn't help but secretly praise Su Wan for his good temperament.
The other guests also had some doubts in their minds.
Is Su Wan really a commoner
Looking at it this way today, his manners and behavior are impeccable, especially after Tia had just deliberately humiliated him.
Facing the invisible confrontation between Su Wan and Diya, the young prince remained silent. But at this moment, he suddenly moved.
Su Wan saw Jiang Xuecheng suddenly reach out his hand towards her and thought he was going to continue holding her hand, but unexpectedly Jiang Xuecheng lifted Su Wan's hand and looked at it carefully several times.
The man lowered his eyelashes, looking extremely serious, as if Su Wan's hand was some rare treasure.
"Miss Tia just said that her hands were dirty. Fortunately, you didn't get contaminated by the filth on her hands."
Jiang Xuecheng's voice was melodious and pleasant, but it carried a certain subtle deterrent power.
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent!
Su Wan's eyes suddenly widened. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng's cold eyes, and she couldn't help but feel touched.
He came to her rescue for the second time today.
In fact, the humiliation that Diya just suffered was nothing to Su Wan. She would not lose her temper with a little girl who was a few years younger than her.
But when Jiang Xuecheng did this, she felt sweet in her heart.
Everyone looked at each other, some of them secretly looked at Tia, and almost couldn't help laughing.
—I never thought that one day I would see Miss Tia bragging.
And Tia's face suddenly turned pale, she was so angry but didn't know where to vent!
