Lin Jiaorui and Shen Xue cried out and fell directly onto the red carpet, tumbling together. Half of Lin Jiaorui's long dress was torn off.
Perhaps because their expressions when they fell were so exaggerated, many people around them burst out laughing.
The bodyguards stepped forward to help her up, but Lin Jiaorui slapped them away and glared at them angrily.
"Is this how your Jiang family holds banquets? It caused us to fall. The person in charge of the banquet should come out and kneel down to apologize."
Lin Jiaorui assumed that the banquet was the same as before, with Lin Qingtong handling all the work, so she was filled with resentment and started cursing.
Upon hearing this, Qi Huimin, standing beside Jiang Hao, darkened her expression and spoke with a sinister look in her eyes.
"Miss Lin was just a little careless while walking, how can you blame others?"
"Then why did you fall but everyone else didn't? It's probably because you walk in such an exaggerated way that you want to take more photos to show off."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaorui stared wide-eyed in Qi Huimin's direction.
She did not know Qi Huimin.
Seeing that she was wearing frightening clothes, and not even noticing that she was standing next to Jiang Hao and was pregnant, he rushed forward and slapped Qi Huimin across the face.
"I'm a guest, it's not your place to say that."
Qi Huimin covered her face, staring at Lin Jiaorui with cold and terrifying eyes, only to be scolded by Lin Jiaorui again.
"You're nothing but a servant. How dare you try to climb the social ladder and become a master? I've seen plenty of people like you. You're just trash."
Lin Jiaorui has always been a person who refuses to admit defeat, and she is usually very domineering and never holds back when she starts cursing.
Qi Huimin couldn't win the argument with Lin Jiaorui, so she could only grab Jiang Hao's hand with red eyes and say, "Brother Hao, look at them, they've really gone too far."
Seeing Lin Jiaorui's behavior, Jiang Hao was also somewhat displeased and scolded her with his hands behind his back.
"Miss Lin, I'm still here, how can you treat my people like this?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaorui was stunned for a moment. She looked at Jiang Hao, then at Qi Huimin's prominent belly, before she realized what was happening.
This person wasn't a servant at all; she was Jiang Hao's mistress.
She looked Qi Huimin up and down, and a sneer suddenly appeared on her lips.
Lin Qingtong actually lost to such an ugly woman?
A surge of ecstatic joy and relief welled up within her; it was so cathartic!
Qi Huimin was puzzled when she saw Lin Jiaorui suddenly laughing like that. She wondered if this person had something wrong with her brain.
After laughing, Lin Jiaorui was in a great mood and simply apologized to Qi Huimin.
"I mistook you for someone else just now, I'm sorry."
After saying that, she returned to Shen Xue's side, eager to share the news.
Shen Xue whispered a reminder: "You're being too impulsive."
Lin Jiaorui was in a good mood, so she wasn't angry when Shen Xue said a few words. She just leaned close to her ear and whispered about Qi Huimin's identity.
After learning Qi Huimin's identity, Shen Xue couldn't help but look her up and down, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
That's how men are; they think even shit from outside smells better than shit from home.
Qi Huimin felt a growing impatience as the two men scrutinized her, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she moved closer to Jiang Hao and asked him in a low voice.
"Brother Hao, why are they looking at me like that? Did my sister say something to them?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao's gaze suddenly fell on Lin Qingtong, his eyes filled with displeasure.
Lin Qingtong, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, swirling a glass of red wine in her hand, was suddenly looked at by Jiang Hao. She showed no fear and replied calmly and respectfully.
She raised her glass of red wine but didn't take a single sip. Instead, she poured it onto the ground in front of Jiang Hao, as if she were offering a sacrifice.
Jiang Hao's expression suddenly changed. He was about to say something to Lin Qingtong when his gaze met Shen Tinghe's.
Those dark pupils exuded endless chill and coldness.
“Nephew, you should take care of things at home. Don’t be so confused.”
He was referring to Qi Huimin, but when Jiang Hao heard his words, it sounded like he was talking about Lin Qingtong.
Jiang Hao pursed his red lips and did not refute, but felt a little embarrassed that he had been scolded by Shen Tinghe in public.
You should know that Shen Tinghe is the famous Ninth Master Shen, and his words carry more weight than anyone else's.
But if he says someone is no good, then whenever Jiang Hao goes out in the future, people will say that this is the muddle-headed person that Master Shen once said he was.
Before Jiang Hao could say anything, Shen Tinghe spoke again.
The banquet was a bit noisy.
His thoughtful gaze fell on Qi Huimin and Lin Jiaorui, who had just had a fight but were now acting all lovey-dovey.
Jiang Hao snapped out of his daze and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Qi Huimin's hand, saying, "Keep your voice down, your uncle thinks it's too noisy."
Lin Jiaorui, who was standing to the side, saw that Shen Tinghe was also there. Her eyes were full of smiles. Like a butterfly, she ran to Shen Tinghe's side, tilted her little face up, and spoke shyly.
"Mr. Shen, what a coincidence that you're here too."
Shen Tinghe merely glanced at her, not giving her even a second look, his expression icy cold.
"Where did this beggar come from?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding guests burst into laughter. It must be said that Master Shen's words were truly venomous.
Lin Jiaorui now looked like a beggar, disheveled, with her makeup ruined and her dress torn, a stark contrast to the glamorous guests around her.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaorui's expression changed for a moment, then she forced a smile.
"Mr. Shen, I am Lin Jiaorui. I used to work at your company. Today was just an accident. I will go change into new clothes now."
She turned her head to look in Qi Huimin's direction, her tone unconsciously arrogant, forgetting that she had just been chatting with Qi Huimin.
"Where are the formal attire your Jiang family prepared for their guests?"
Qi Huimin paused for a moment, then shook her head: "No one said we needed to prepare clothes."
She couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Madam Jiang had given her 20,000 yuan to buy food, hire people, and even prepare clothes for the guests.
20,000 yuan is not enough.
She didn't say those words, but just stood there looking at Jiang Hao with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
"This is my first time hosting a banquet, and I really didn't know I needed to prepare all of this."
Jiang Hao was somewhat disappointed. He thought these things would be understood without being told, just like Lin Qingtong.
But then I thought, this is Qi Huimin's first time organizing a banquet, and she has already done a great job.
Jiang Hao reached out to comfort Qi Huimin: "It's okay, you've done a great job. If you didn't prepare a dress, just find some new clothes for her to wear."
"Go quickly," he urged Qi Huimin.
Qi Huimin was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder. She was pregnant, and Jiang Hao had always been stingy with her, so she hadn't bought him any clothes.
They said pregnant women don't need to dress so nicely, so she listened and didn't actually buy any new clothes.
Now, where can she find new clothes for Lin Jiaorui?
