But now, he was being trampled all over. All the pride and respect he had was gone in just a short span of time.

His tears almost fell out of his eyes. He had no place to put his face now. He offended the Xie family this time, and they used his weakness against him.

Knowing that the thing he cared the most was his pride, they destroyed it.

Jiang Jingshan looked at the people surrounding them, including friends who she was close to, but none of them came up to offer her a hand.

Their gazes were snickering at their current predicament, taking obvious joy in it.

Jiang Jingshan's heart chilled. These were the friends who she hung out with. When she was useful, they all tried to curry favors from her, but when she was useless, they would stay far away.

This anger, along with her injuries, caused her to faint.

Although Master Jiang and Jiang Jingshan were eventually taken away, the uproar and discussion that followed did not die down.

People who were close to Jiang Jingshan on a normal basis were all speculating.

Someone whispered, "Who dares to treat the Jiang family in this manner?"

"The Jiang family must have offended someone powerful up there."

"This person is definitely not afraid of the Jiang family's influence. Who exactly is he?"

"Ah, I remember now. Do you remember that day when Jiang Jingshan fought with a woman?"

"Yeah, I remember. I think she's called Yun Bixue, and she's from Ning An City."

"Yup, that's her. Do you think it was because Jiang Jingshan offended her?"

"Now that you said it, I remembered that that woman did not seem to have any background, but she's definitely someone not to be trifled with."

"She even glared at us with a murderous intent the other day."

This statement was like a pebble that caused ripples to form on the sea, making the faces of these women to be drained of color.

Their families cannot be compared to the Jiang family. If that Yun Bixue wanted to do something to them, it would definitely be easier than dealing with Jiang Jingshan.

"What should we do now? If my family knew that I offended Yun Bixue, and if she finds trouble with us, my family will be the first to hand me over."

"I think it's better to protect ourselves. She doesn't look like an unreasonable person. The other time when Jiang Jingshan insulted her, we did not say anything."

"Wasn't it you guys who encouraged her to do it? Jiang Jingshan likes to pretend to be brave, so if it weren't for you guys, she would not have gone up to provoke her. Yun Bixue's last glare sent s.h.i.+vers down my spine."

…

The few women discussed through the afternoon before settling on a solution. It would be better for them to take the initiative to beg for mercy.

All of them went back to their families, intending to write an invitation to invite Yun Bixue to join their garden party.

The garden party was actually a place in the imperial capital for young people to gather. Ordinary people had no chance of entering, and applying to join required people to go through tons of investigations.

But this time, without even showing her face around, Yun Bixue's name was included in the guest list for the garden party.

These ladies even intended to hand the invitation to Yun Bixue personally, along with the gifts they prepared for her.

Even though this move was beneath their status and pride, they had to do it since they did not want to end up like Jiang Jingshan.

If guys could stretch and grow, girls like them could do it as well. One who understands the right time is a wise person.

…

Yun Bixue went to the company to check on the situation. When she went home in the afternoon, she saw several women who were standing at the entrance of her house.
