"Are you alright, Jia'er?" Su Ding pretended nothing had happened, steadying Xin Jia'er and asking with concern.
Xin Jia'er jumped, and after regaining her balance, was about to speak when she heard a shriek from the woman at the next table!
"Ah!"
The woman quickly retracted her foot, angrily slammed the table, and pointed at Su Ding, cursing, "What are you doing! Can't you see?"
Su Ding glanced at her sideways. "What are you doing, deliberately tripping my friend."
Upon seeing the woman's face, Xin Jia'er's expression immediately soured. Hearing Su Ding say that this woman had deliberately tripped her, her small face tensed, and she became angry.
She had thought she was tripped by the table leg just now.
So it was this woman!
"Ning Dandan, why did you trip me? Is it fun?" Xin Jia'er asked angrily.
"Hmph, who tripped you? Don't talk nonsense, your friend stepped on my foot!" Ning Dandan glared, snorted coldly, showing no sign of backing down. "You'd better apologize to me, and I might consider forgiving you. Otherwise, this is not over!"
Xin Jia'er was furious, especially Ning Dandan's arrogant demeanor!
"Heh," Su Ding sneered. "Then let's check the surveillance footage to see if you deliberately tripped Jia'er. Once it's clear, we'll see who apologizes to whom."
"Check the surveillance footage?"
A flicker of guilt crossed Ning Dandan's face, which she quickly replaced with a disdainful smile. "Who has the time to waste with you people."
At this moment, the waiter, sensing the situation, stepped in to mediate. "Please, both of you, calm down. Since you know each other, let's not let this small matter interrupt your meal. Miss Su, Miss Xin, allow me to escort you two over."
"Dingding, let's go. Don't waste time with people like this," Xin Jia'er said unhappily, huffing.
"Okay."
As Su Ding was about to leave, Ning Dandan, upon hearing 'Miss Su' and 'Dingding', suddenly recalled a name.
Su Ding?
She looked back at Su Ding's face and then remembered that this was the protagonist of the scandal that had been all over the news.
How dare this b*tch step on my foot?
Is she worthy?
Ning Dandan had heard of Su Ding before, especially how Su Ding was openly promoted by her sugar daddy. She was envious and jealous, and after hearing about Su Ding's scandals, she secretly rejoiced.
She hadn't expected to see the main character today!
This dumped has-been celebrity, who would never be popular again, dared to be so high-profile. Did she really think Ning Dandan was easy to bully?
"Su Ding, it's you! How do you still have the nerve to show your face?"
Ning Dandan's foot pain had subsided. She stood up directly and called out with a half-smile.
Xin Jia'er had Xue Zhi Qiao and the Xin family behind her.
But Su Ding was a notorious, unbacked, down-and-out little celebrity. Why should she tolerate being stepped on for free?
Deep down, she really wanted to teach this former popular senior a lesson.
Hearing Ning Dandan call her name, Su Ding's expression changed slightly, but she didn't turn back.
With a cold face, she continued to walk forward.
She didn't want to escalate the conflict, as Ning Dandan was a public figure, and any commotion could bring the incident back into the spotlight.
Xin Jia'er's face turned green upon hearing Ning Dandan speak about her friend like that.
She clenched her fists tightly, restraining herself, and continued to walk forward with Su Ding. To her surprise, Ning Dandan had no intention of letting them go and followed a few steps ahead.
"Su Ding, I'm calling you. Stop right there!" Ning Dandan called out again.
Su Ding stopped and turned around. "What is it?"
Ning Dandan's charming face was filled with mockery and triumph. "Something is indeed wrong. How dare a scandal-ridden celebrity like you show your face? Is this a place you can come to? Do you think by latching onto Xin Jia'er, you can dream of returning to the entertainment industry? How laughable."
"Ning Dandan, I ask you, are you sick? What are you barking about here!" Xin Jia'er couldn't stand it any longer and directly cursed.
