After three years of misplaced affection, Mrs. Yu is no longer willing to pretend to be obedient.

Zeng Ying wore a deep red dress, and her exquisite makeup made her look charming and beautiful.

Upon seeing Jian Ailing, she subconsciously frowned. "This is a private banquet hosted by the Lu family. What are you doing here?"

"She's here to pursue your brother." Lu Shen shook his head and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Some people are just so persistent in wanting to be your sister-in-law, without even looking in the mirror to see what they look like."

"Hmph, you think you can win Jian Ailing back?" Zeng Ying sized Jian Ailing up. "You don't think you can get my brother back like this, do you?"

Jane couldn't help but roll her eyes and turn her head away, not wanting to pay any attention.

She clearly didn't want to come to this lousy banquet, but Yu Yunting insisted she come, saying there was no dress code. Now look what happened—he won't answer her phone and just leaves her outside, making her suffer the inexplicable sarcasm and ridicule from the host and Zeng Ying.

Jane Ailing's eyes darted around, sensing that the people nearby were silently observing them, looking on with amusement.

But she no longer wanted to act in this play.

"Okay, okay, I shouldn't have come. Fine, I'll leave then, okay?" Perfect, she might as well go home early, wash up, and go to bed.

"Wait." Lu Shen raised his hand, blocking Jian Ailing's path. "What, do you think the Lu family is a place you can come and go as you please?"

"So what do you want?"

"Record an apology video, say that you have mental problems and promise that you will never appear in front of Brother Ting again."

"I did nothing wrong, so I won't apologize."

"Quite the big talker, huh?" Seeing her lack of cooperation, Lu Shen became enraged. "I really admire people like you; how can you be so confident? Believe me, I'll call the police and report you for trespassing, and have you spend two days in jail!"

Jane crossed her arms. "Fine, then you can report it. Then you can cancel the banquet today."

Lu Shen thought Jian Ailing would back down, but to his surprise, she was uncompromising and even threatened him.

"Fine, fine! Then you can spend some time in the detention center. Even if you kneel down and beg me, I won't listen to you!"

Zeng Ying's expression changed. She wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

Lu Shen picked up his phone and spoke to the police for a while before looking at Jian Ailing triumphantly, "I'm warning you, don't even think about leaving before the police arrive!"

This woman humiliated him in his own home, and Lu Shen was determined not to let it go. He would make her apologize and admit her mistake!

Jane turned her head to the side, too lazy to talk to him.

Her disdainful look made Lu Shen even angrier. He called the security personnel and ordered them to lock Jian Ailing in the storage room on the first floor.

"Don't let this kind of person stay in the garden; it's bad luck!"

"Hey! Are you crazy? Let me go!" The security guards grabbed Jian Ailing from both sides, and she struggled and shouted angrily.

She could feel her commotion attracting onlookers, but no one seemed inclined to help her. Zeng Ying simply stood to the side, arms crossed, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"What's wrong?" A male voice came from behind. Jian Ailing turned her head and saw Yu Yunting approaching the group.

"Brother Ting, you've come at the right time!" Lu Shen looked at Yu Yunting. "This crazy woman pretended to be Mrs. Yu and followed you all the way here! But it's okay, I've already called the police. Let them teach her a lesson and show her what happens when you harass someone!"

Zeng Ying stared intently at Yu Yunting as he walked forward and slowly approached Jian Ailing.

Sensing Yu Yunting's sharp gaze, the two security guards released Jian Ailing together.

"Did you tell Lu Shen that you weren't Mrs. Yu, but Assistant Jian?" Yu Yunting frowned slightly, looking at Jian Ailing helplessly. As he spoke, he raised his hand and smoothed the messy stray hairs at her temples.

"I swear to God, I just told him it was me, but he just wouldn't believe me." Jian Ailing said, rubbing her arm, which was still aching from being gripped so tightly by the security guard.

"Didn't I tell you I didn't want to come to a place like this? Fine, you insisted on bringing me, but you didn't even answer the phone at this crucial moment! Nobody here even knows who I am." Jian Ailing looked up at Yu Yunting, her eyes clearly filled with resentment.

"It was my fault this time." Yu Yunting lowered his head, grabbed Jian Ailing's wrist with one hand, and gently rubbed her shoulder with the other.

Zeng Ying opened her eyes wide and looked at the two of them in surprise.

Didn't my brother always refuse to acknowledge this woman as Mrs. Yu? Why is he doing this in public now that they're getting a divorce?

"What?" Lu Shen stared in astonishment at the two's intimate actions. To his recollection, this was the first time he'd ever seen Yu Yunting take the initiative to be close to a woman. "You...you're really Mrs. Yu?"

Lu Shen looked at Zeng Ying with some exasperation, "Zeng Ying, don't you even recognize your sister-in-law?"

Zeng Ying crossed her arms and pursed her lips, remaining silent.

Lu Shen looked helplessly at Yu Yunting, "Brother Ting, is this woman... really your wife?"

"But last time...you didn't say she was Mrs. Yu, did you?"

"I never said she wasn't, did I?" Yu Yunting raised an eyebrow and reached out to put his arm around Jian Ailing's waist.

The police entered the garden and approached Lu Shen. "Mr. Lu, were you the one who reported that unidentified people had entered your home?"

"Lu Shen, are you going to call the police to arrest my wife?" Yu Yunting's eyes changed, and his aura became sharp.

"I..." Lu Shen was speechless, unable to express his bitterness, and could only quickly apologize to the police with a smile, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake..."

"In that case, please give us a brief statement and explain the whole story."

"Okay... let's talk inside." Lu Shen led the police away, not forgetting to glare at Zeng Ying as he passed by. "Zeng Ying, you've ruined me! Are you out of your mind?"

Zeng Ying looked at Lu Shen with anger and grievance, but she couldn't say anything and could only watch him leave in silence.

Now, Jane felt that they had ruined most of the dinner party.

Although she wasn't the one who started it all, there was no point in staying here. "I'm going back now, I'm a little tired."

She was already dressed out of place, not at all like a guest here. With Lu Shen's outburst, Jian Ailing felt like everyone was laughing at her.

She glanced at the crowd again and noticed that they seemed to be looking at her, but their gazes held a hint of surprise and disbelief.

Perhaps not many people present really thought she was Mrs. Yu; they probably thought she was a lunatic trying to scam them.

"Then I'll go back with you."

"Yunting, I apologize to both of you for causing this farce." A distinguished-looking middle-aged man walked up to the two of them, forcing Jian Ailing to stop in her tracks.

"Uncle Lu." Yu Yunting nodded to the person who came. "This is my wife, Jane Ailing."

It seemed that the man in front of her was the male owner of this manor. Jian Ailing looked at the man and, like Yu Yunting, greeted him.

"Hello." Lu Ming smiled at Jian Ailing. "Ailing, Lu Shen was rude just now. I'll have him apologize to you when he comes out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shen came out of the inner hall and returned to the garden.

"Lu Shen, come over here and apologize to Ai Ling!" Lu Ming shouted sternly.
