Due to the chandelier shattering on the ground, shards flew everywhere, and dust filled the air. Yi Tiantian was tightly protected in Fei Cheng's arms.
Not far away, Jiang Na, her face pale, felt dizzy after hearing Yi Tiantian's thoughts and fainted onto the floor.
Fei Cheng first made sure that Yi Tiantian in his arms was unharmed before looking over at Jiang Na, who had fainted.
The staff members who hadn't managed to leave the room were all startled and hurriedly stepped over the broken glass to help Jiang Na up.
Amidst the chaos, Yi Tiantian noticed a black shadow flashing by the door.
"The culprit who made the chandelier fall is right outside the door!"
Everyone trembled and turned to look at the door.
Yi Tiantian immediately broke free from Fei Cheng's embrace and walked towards the door.
Fei Cheng quickly followed, worried about Yi Tiantian's safety.
However, the black shadow outside vanished in an instant, and Yi Tiantian found nothing when she ran out.
At this moment, a photographer rushed out screaming, anxiously circling Yi Tiantian twice: "Tiantian, are you hurt?"
Yi Tiantian shook her head and looked towards the end of the corridor, where she saw a black silhouette.
.
After this incident, the magazine quickly compensated the guests, making no omissions in their compensation and even helping them reserve seats at a nearby restaurant for dinner.
After a day of fright, they indeed needed some good food to soothe their wounded souls. Yi Tiantian happily went to the restaurant reserved by the magazine with Fei Cheng.
Led by a waiter, they sat down at a table by the window.
"What would you like to eat?"
Fei Cheng handed the menu to Yi Tiantian, his voice deep and gentle.
Yi Tiantian didn't respond for a long time. Fei Cheng looked up and, following her gaze, unexpectedly saw two familiar faces.
"Ah? Isn't that Jiang Na and Shen Fengxiao?!"
"Today is their wedding anniversary, so they came here for a date. I didn't expect it to be this restaurant?!"
"Jiang Na just fainted today. She wanted to stay home and study, but Shen Fengxiao, that scoundrel, insisted on coming to the restaurant for dinner!"
"Because tonight, Shen Fengxiao and Can Can are going to carry out their murder plan!!"
Fei Cheng frowned. If what Yi Tiantian said was true, then Jiang Na was in grave danger tonight!
"No way, I have to take Jiang Na away!"
Yi Tiantian immediately stood up and walked towards Jiang Na and Shen Fengxiao.
"Hello, Editor-in-Chief. It's quite a coincidence that you're eating here too!"
Yi Tiantian approached and greeted them boldly.
She had no choice; if she didn't act boldly now, Jiang Na would be killed later!
Jiang Na frowned, clearly uncomfortable seeing Yi Tiantian, but out of politeness, she nodded: "Hello, it's quite a coincidence. Today is our anniversary, so my husband insisted on celebrating here!"
While politely responding, she couldn't help but flaunt her relationship, though it was unclear whether she was trying to deceive Yi Tiantian or herself.
"Sis, wake up! He's not bringing you here to celebrate your anniversary; he's bringing you here to create your death anniversary, sis!!"
Yi Tiantian silently ridiculed in her heart.
Jiang Na's expression gradually turned cold, refusing to believe anything Yi Tiantian said.
Shen Fengxiao was initially worried that Yi Tiantian's thoughts might affect Jiang Na, but now he realized there was no need to worry, as this woman was already trapped in his scheme!
He looked at Yi Tiantian smugly, as if saying, "Say whatever you want; if she believes you, I lose!"
Just as Shen Fengxiao was smirking, a passing waiter stumbled and accidentally spilled sweet and sour pork onto his face.
The waiter repeatedly apologized, and Jiang Na let out a gasp.
Yi Tiantian, standing nearby, remained unaffected by the commotion.
This series of events drew everyone's attention in the restaurant.
Shen Fengxiao felt a burning pain on his face, and the sticky sensation of the sweet and sour pork spread across his face and neck, causing him to cry out.
"Honey, honey, are you okay?" Jiang Na hurriedly got up to check on him but was pushed aside by Shen Fengxiao.
Shen Fengxiao stood up and headed for the restroom, kicking the waiter on the way.
Unexpectedly, he slipped on the sweet and sour pork and fell to the ground.
The scene was so comical that many bystanders burst into laughter. Shen Fengxiao, who hated losing face, angrily got up and scurried away like a rat.
Jiang Na looked worriedly at Shen Fengxiao's retreating back before returning to her seat.
The young waitress who had caused the mishap was sobbing uncontrollably.
Yi Tiantian had already comforted her earlier, but the kick from Shen Fengxiao made her start crying again.
Jiang Na looked at the young waitress and took out a pack of tissues from her bag, handing them to her.
"Little girl, be more careful next time. I apologize on behalf of my husband; he was just too agitated."
The young girl nodded vigorously and took the tissue Jiang Na handed her to wipe away her tears. "Thank you."
At that moment, the restaurant manager rushed over. The manager was a middle-aged woman who also had some knowledge of *X*. She immediately recognized the guest in front of her as the editor-in-chief of the magazine and began to apologize profusely.
Jiang Na quickly said, "It's fine, it's fine. The young girl is still very young; she'll improve with more experience."
Although the guest said this, the manager gave the young girl a stern look, which made her tremble with fear.
"Manager, we won't hold the young girl's mistake against her. We hope to see her again when we come back to your restaurant next time."
Jiang Na's implication was clear: she wanted to protect the young girl.
The manager understood Jiang Na's intention and continued to apologize, pulling both the young girl and Jiang Na into further apologies before waiving the meal fee for their table.
Yi Tiantian watched the entire scene unfold, feeling a sense of admiration.
"Jiang Na being called the iron lady of the magazine isn't without reason. She grew up in a family that favored boys over girls and left home at a young age to work hard and break free from her original family. Perhaps the young girl in front of her reminded her of her own self at eighteen!"
"Having finally escaped her original family, Jiang Na worked hard to become the editor-in-chief of *X* magazine and started looking forward to love. Shen Fengxiao was her first love."
"But this first love was here to take her life! Tonight, Shen Fengxiao would force Jiang Na to drink excessively, then take her in his car while she was drunk, and recklessly drive, causing the car to crash with Jiang Na inside!"
Jiang Na's hand holding the glass trembled, and the wine glass shattered on the ground, along with some of her inner resolve cracking.
