"Oh no, my roast chicken!" Liu Xiangnan shouted crisply.
So all the guests looked over here, including Chen Donglai standing on the stage and Old Madam Chen sitting in the armchair.
The next moment, the whole audience burst into laughter.
Liu Jinxiang's beautiful face immediately turned bright red, and she glared fiercely at Liu Xiangnan.
But blaming her now is pointless.
"Whose child is this? How can they be so ill-mannered?"
"Judging from her appearance, she seems to be Liu Xiangnan, the young lady of the Jinxiang Chamber of Commerce. Liu Jinxiang is sitting right there!"
"It seems the Golden Fragrance Merchant Guild has truly declined."
"Has that little girl not eaten for hundreds of years? Could it be that the Golden Fragrance Merchant Guild has declined to the point where they can't even afford to eat anymore?"
Many people laughed and made sarcastic remarks, which enraged Liu Jinxiang.
Chen Donglai hesitated for a moment on the stage, then said loudly, "Everyone, our Donglai Chamber of Commerce has reached a cooperative relationship with the Jinxiang Chamber of Commerce. Our two chambers of commerce will be allies from now on. Please give us face."
With Chen Donglai smoothing things over, the guests who had been making sarcastic remarks finally quieted down.
"If you embarrass me again, I'll... I'll spank you until your butt is a bloody mess!" Liu Jinxiang said to Liu Xiangnan through gritted teeth.
Liu Xiangnan quickly hid in Ye Feng's arms, her face full of grievance: "I didn't mean to..."
"Alright, alright, what's the big deal? Besides, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, how can you care so much about what others think? Isn't it tiring to live like this?" Ye Feng said.
“Mr. Ye, you are a martial artist, and a highly skilled one at that, so naturally you can disregard other people’s opinions. But I am just an ordinary person, how can I not care?” Liu Jinxiang said with a wry smile.
The birthday banquet continued.
And finally, it was time to eat.
The guests all started eating, toasting and drinking, creating a lively atmosphere.
Seeing that everyone else had started eating, Liu Xiangnan also began to enjoy her meal.
"This is delicious! Master, you should try this!" Liu Xiangnan shouted.
"Okay, I'll try it."
The night breeze smiled and nodded.
Liu Jinxiang covered her face with her hands, as if she were too ashamed to face anyone.
Just then, a young man in his twenties walked over with a smile and stood in front of Liu Jinxiang.
"I never expected to see you here, Madam Jinxiang. This truly surprises me," the young man said with a smile.
Although his attitude seemed enthusiastic, his expression revealed an indescribable arrogance.
Liu Jinxiang frowned and asked, "Wang Fandong, is there something you need from me?"
“I do want to have a talk with you, Madam Jinxiang. Can we speak privately?” said the young man named Wang Fandong.
Liu Jinxiang hesitated for a moment and looked towards the night wind.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Xiangnan for you," Yefeng said.
"Thanks."
After Liu Jinxiang finished speaking, she finally stood up and walked towards the side hall with Wang Fandong.
"Who is that man? Your bodyguard?" Wang Fandong asked casually.
“Who he is is none of your business,” Liu Jinxiang said curtly.
"What arrogance! Judging from his clothes and appearance, he doesn't seem like any important person. Why am I not worthy to know?" Wang Fandong sneered.
"You didn't come to me just to ask about this, did you? Tell me, what exactly do you want?" Liu Jinxiang said unhappily.
"Don't rush, we haven't reached the side hall yet," Wang Fandong said.
Upon entering the side hall and lowering the curtain, Wang Fandong and Liu Jinxiang sat down together at the table.
Wang Fandong poured himself a cup of tea and then poured one for Liu Jinxiang, placing them in front of her.
"President Jinxiang, your chamber of commerce is in a very bad situation right now. Although I heard that your chamber of commerce seems to have survived the calamity and the trouble with the Secret Soul Sect has come to an end, even so, your chamber of commerce is still..." Wang Fandong said meaningfully.
"Does your Tianming Chamber of Commerce want to cooperate with me?" Liu Jinxiang asked.
“That’s right, that’s exactly what I was thinking. As long as Madam Jinxiang is willing, our Tianming Chamber of Commerce can provide full assistance and support to your Jinxiang Chamber of Commerce!” Wang Fandong said emphatically.
“I’m glad that your Tianming Chamber of Commerce is willing to support me, but there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Tell me, what do you want in return?”
Liu Jinxiang was not blinded by passion; on the contrary, she was quite rational.
Wang Fandong smiled and pointed to Liu Jinxiang in front of him.
"What do you mean?" Liu Jinxiang frowned even more.
“I’m not interested in anything from your Golden Fragrance Merchant Guild; I’m only interested in you. So, Madam Golden Fragrance, marry me.”
"If you agree to marry me now, I will immediately mobilize all the resources of our Tianming Chamber of Commerce to support your Chamber and guarantee that your Jinxiang Chamber of Commerce will achieve even greater glory!"
Wang Fandong said heavily, his eyes fixed on Liu Jinxiang with a greedy and burning gaze.
Liu Jinxiang's expression changed drastically; she really hadn't expected Wang Fandong to make such a request.
"Do you know how many years older I am than you?" Liu Jinxiang questioned.
"Seven or eight years old, what's the big deal?" Wang Fandong said nonchalantly.
"Then what about my daughter? Can you promise to treat her well?" Liu Jinxiang asked.
"That's exactly what I'm going to say next. I'm only interested in you; I have absolutely no interest in your daughter. I can find someone else to take your daughter..."
Before Wang Fandong could finish speaking, Liu Jinxiang gave a cold laugh.
Then Liu Jinxiang picked up the tea in front of her and drank it all in one gulp, then slammed the teacup down.
"I don't want to talk to you anymore, goodbye!"
After saying that, Liu Jinxiang walked outside.
After glancing at the teacup, Wang Fandong stood up and said with a smile, "Madam Jinxiang, don't be in such a hurry. We can talk some more."
“I told you I wouldn’t talk to you anymore!” Liu Jinxiang said emphatically.
"Calm down first..."
Wang Fandong chased after her, grabbed Liu Jinxiang's wrist, and wouldn't let her leave.
Suddenly, Liu Jinxiang kicked him, striking his groin. Wang Fandong was hit so hard that he immediately bent over like a shrimp.
Liu Jinxiang pulled her hand away from Wang Fandong's grasp, didn't even glance at him, and strode away.
In the hall, Ye Feng and Liu Xiangnan continued to eat and drink heartily, ignoring the contemptuous and mocking looks from the other guests.
Liu Jinxiang suddenly strode over in a hurry, her eyebrows raised and her face full of anger.
Liu Xiangnan was startled, as she was about to be scolded again.
Suddenly, Wang Fandong chased after them from the side hall and roared in front of everyone, "Liu Jinxiang, don't push your luck! I've been more than polite to you!"
"You're the one who doesn't know what's good for you!" Liu Jinxiang retorted without any politeness.
