However, as a member of the prestigious Lu family, Old Madam Lu was too embarrassed to personally criticize Jian Feng's family.
Jian Feng was unaware that he was gradually becoming the focus of attention and was still making vulgar gestures. He felt phlegm in his mouth and then cleared his throat.
The sound of coughing echoed throughout the room, and the next second, Jian Feng spat on the ground and stomped on it twice.
The people around him looked disgusted.
Who is this?
"It's filthy. What are you doing here, waiter?"
"It seems to be Jian Ruoxi's father."
People around were gossiping, and Old Mrs. Lu couldn't stand it anymore, so she sent her bodyguards over: "Go and kick them out of here."
Hu Xuezhi hid in the corner, smiling: "This is Jian Ruoxi's father. How can he have no manners at all?"
She looked upstairs, expecting Lu Shen to see Jian Feng's family embarrassed, but she didn't see Lu Shen. She leaned over to someone and quietly asked, "Why isn't Lu Shen in the venue?"
The man turned to her and said, "Lu Shen isn't feeling well and is resting upstairs."
Looking at the row of rooms upstairs, Hu Xuezhi quickly glanced at them. There were probably eight rooms. The ones near the end of the corridor should be guest rooms, so Lu Shen was most likely in one of the middle bedrooms.
At this moment, the bodyguards came downstairs and began to chase people away, which led to a physical altercation between the two sides, with Jian Feng being the first to be involved.
He physically confronted the bodyguards, shouting, "Don't touch me! I'm Jian Ruoxi's father! If you touch even a hair on my head, you'll be bankrupt!"
Hearing the argument, Jian Ruoxi lifted the hem of her clothes and walked towards Jian Feng.
When Wang Juyue saw Jian Ruoxi walking towards them, she shouted at the bodyguard, "You still dare to lay a hand on me? Can't you see my sister is coming?"
Jian Ruoxi was asked to stop the bodyguards, and she said to them, "Wait a moment, I have something to say to them."
Thinking that Jian Ruoxi was there to help him, Jian Feng, emboldened by his connections, became arrogant: "Don't you see? My daughter, a big star."
This drew disdain from those around him. Although Jian Ruoxi was a good person and had excellent acting skills, Jian Feng's low-class behavior aroused contempt from these noble and wealthy families.
Especially for families with three generations of aristocratic lineage, they highly respect their bloodline and, even when forming alliances through marriage, they will only choose families with a scholarly background.
At this moment, Jian Ruoxi spoke up: "I hope you can leave quietly. If you don't leave, the bodyguards will have to escort you out."
Her words were very calm, but outsiders could tell that Jian Ruoxi didn't want any connection with Jian Feng's family, and they couldn't tell that Jian Ruoxi was Jian Feng's daughter, which infuriated Jian Feng.
She finally managed to snag a rich second-generation heir, so she should hurry up and cling to him, or she won't have another chance. Besides, Wang Juyue is relying on Jian Ruoxi's connection to climb the social ladder and attach herself to other powerful figures.
So Jian Feng and his wife got into an argument with Jian Ruoxi.
While everyone's attention was focused on Jian Ruoxi, Hu Xuezhi took a break and held a glass of red wine in her hand.
She pushed her way into the crowd, and in the shoving, Hu Xuezhi pretended that someone had hit her arm, causing red wine to spill onto her chest and stain her snow-white dress.
Someone in the crowd noticed that Hu Xuezhi's clothes were dirty and reminded her, "Zhizhi, your clothes."
Hu Xuezhi exclaimed, "Excuse me, everyone, I need to go upstairs to change my clothes."
Upon hearing Hu Xuezhi's request, Jian Ruoxi said to the maid beside her, "Go and take her upstairs to change her clothes."
When the maid got closer, she found that Hu Xuezhi had already left her some distance behind, so she had to quicken her pace.
Unexpectedly, Hu Xuezhi turned to the maid and said, "Go and get me the bleaching stuff. I'll go into the room first."
When the maid heard her say that, she had no choice but to tell her first: "The third room from the bottom at the end of the corridor is the dressing room."
Seeing the maid return to the first floor to get bleach, Hu Xuezhi took the opportunity to sneak into Lu Shen's master bedroom. Seeing him lying on the bed asleep, she opened the wardrobe and picked out Jian Ruoxi's pajamas.
In his daze, Lu Shen didn't think much of the noise from the bedroom; he assumed Jian Ruoxi had come in.
Furthermore, due to overwork recently, he had been handling both business and family matters single-handedly. He had just given Jian Ruoxi a gift today, and with the air conditioning blowing cold air, he felt uncomfortable and went back to his bedroom to rest.
Unexpectedly, my body became increasingly hot, and I started to have a fever. I was lying in bed and felt somewhat disoriented.
He felt someone lift the covers and lie down on him, so he assumed it was Hu Xuezhi. In addition, Hu Xuezhi covered her face with her hair and was wearing Jian Ruoxi's pajamas, so Lu Shen didn't think much of it.
Hu Xuezhi obediently lay in Lu Shen's arms, but Lu Shen soon discovered that her figure was very different from Jian Ruoxi's.
I woke up with a start and pushed the people next to me away.
"What are you doing right now?" Lu Shen dragged his tired body out of bed and questioned Hu Xuezhi.
Unexpectedly, Hu Xuezhi said in a sweet voice, "Brother Lu, I saw that you were too tired, so I wanted to come and take care of you."
At this point, Hu Xuezhi still tried to play the emotional card, hoping that Lu Shen would even glance at her. She believed that Lu Shen's choice of Jian Ruoxi was only because she was pregnant with his child, not because he truly loved her.
But Lu Shen berated him: "How can you be so shameless?"
"You don't think that I'll marry you just because you've slept with me, do you?"
Seeing Lu Shen's terrible attitude towards her, Hu Xuezhi reached out and picked up the vase from the bedside table, smashing it to the ground.
Not satisfied with smashing a vase, he tore his own clothes, ripped the dress on the ground, and stomped on it twice.
Soon, people downstairs heard the sound of things breaking upstairs. Lu Shen wanted to stop them, but Li Anran started yelling, "Don't touch me, waah!"
Jian Ruoxi looked up and heard the sound coming from the master bedroom. She hurried over, and the others followed, forming a crowd at the door.
Li Anran stood there, her hair disheveled and looking quite pathetic, while Lu Shen's eyes were filled with astonishment.
Before Lu Shen could speak, Li Anran interjected, "Lu Shen took the initiative to get me into bed."
Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
Jian Ruoxi was utterly shocked by what she saw. She never expected that Lu Shen would do such a thing behind her back at her birthday party. Moreover, he had just given her an expensive gift in front of everyone. She just couldn't understand it.
She was furious, so she turned to leave, but Wang Juyue chased after her and grabbed Jian Ruoxi's arm to stop her from leaving.
"where did you go?"
Seeing Wang Juyue's greedy face, Jian Ruoxi shoved her away and said, "What's it to you? Get lost!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Juyue followed behind her and started cursing: "How can you be so ungrateful? You want to marry into a wealthy family, but you don't even have this much magnanimity."
