She was so angry that she hadn't thought of what to say for a moment.

Mrs. Zhang, upon hearing Mrs. Lin's words, laughed in exasperation, "You little hussy, when have I ever been picky?"

"Yes, you're not picky. I don't know who it is, but they're always finding fault with me. Anyway, I'm not good enough for you. Now that you have such a well-behaved, obedient, and beautiful god-niece, I have to take a backseat."

After leading the family to their seats, Mrs. Lin excused herself and went back to her seat. She affectionately patted Xu Keke's head.

"I'll have to try my best to please you from now on, otherwise, my life will be even more difficult."

Li Wan didn't know whether her life would be good or bad in the future.

Li Wan is really having a hard time right now. This Chairman Lin's wife actually led her whole family to the second seat.

Their own biological daughter is sitting at the head table.

When a woman is speaking, Chen Zikang doesn't like to interrupt. He was just about to let Li Wan say something when he turned to look at her face and knew that she was being petulant again.

He quickly pulled her aside and gave her a meaningful look. Li Wan was just unhappy; she couldn't bring herself to flatter him. Fortunately, she could still pretend not to notice.

The family sat down at the second table.

The banquet was about to begin, and two of the bigwigs brought their concubines with them. Their concubines sat down.

The original plan was for women with children to sit at one table, and men at another.

Because the Chen couple had offended these powerful figures, the authorities immediately rearranged their seating upon their arrival.

Even if it meant adding two more chairs to the main table and making it a bit crowded, they still wanted to create a main and secondary table.

Li Wan was unhappy, and so were the two concubines.

Since both of them are the matriarchs of the household and are not here, they usually handle social matters on behalf of the matriarchs.

These people usually know the truth, but no one says it out loud. They all pretend that they are the real wives.

Today, because of their family, the two of them were separated. They're still furious.

In addition, the Chen family had never been able to get into their circle before. So they always looked down on Li Wan.

Li Wan subtly signaled to Chen Zikang with her eyes. Having no other option, she offered a few polite words, only to be met with lukewarm responses from the two.

Li Wan felt even more unhappy, her face darkened, and she refused to say another word.
