"Sour grapes!" Abby said sourly before storming off.
Cao Nana followed closely behind, not forgetting to glare at Ji Zhinan before leaving.
Ji Zhinan remained calm throughout. She elegantly picked up two glasses of champagne from the table, handing one to Xing Fei. Ji Zhinan clinked glasses with Xing Fei, her thin lips curving into a smile.
"See? Smart people never choose the most direct way to retaliate. They use their brains instead."
Xing Fei was no longer angry; in fact, she felt a little smug seeing those people's faces.
Hearing Ji Zhinan's words, she stuck out her tongue shyly and started to act coquettishly.
"Oh, Nan Nan, you know I can't stand people who are so affected and pretentious!"
Ji Zhinan smiled.
Over here, Abby drank a large glass of red wine in one go, truly treating it like water.
After finishing her drink, she slammed the wine glass onto the table, shouting angrily.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!!!"
"Sister Abby, it's not worth ruining your health over someone like that..." Cao Nana stepped forward to comfort her.
The other socialites were also furious, so Cao Nana told them about Ji Zhinan's embarrassing and awkward situation to appease everyone present.
"Don't let her decent appearance fool you, she's actually incredibly annoying. Even her parents only dote on her older sister, who's my best friend. She's unloved by her parents, which shows how awful her character is!"
"When I went to her house to visit my best friend before, she was inexplicably nice to me and even took the initiative to talk to me. At first, I didn't understand, but later I realized that she wanted to be my friend. Pretty cunning, right..."
In her past life, Ji Zhinan had indeed done something that was a slap in the face, and Cao Nana was referring to something that happened a long time ago. In the Ji family, Ji Pengfei and his wife only put on a show, while Ji Zhixia was always at odds with her. She was popular, so she spread all sorts of rumors about how bad and rotten Ji Zhinan was, to the point that other young ladies and gentlemen didn't want to hang out with Ji Zhinan.
During that time, Cao Nana frequently visited the Ji family. Ji Zhinan was extremely envious when he saw her and Ji Zhixia laughing so happily together.
So she washed fruit and brought juice to Ji Zhixia and Cao Nana, just wanting to get along with them so the three of them could play together...
In her past life, Ji Zhinan never imagined that despite how good she was to them, they would take her efforts for granted, drinking the juice and eating the fruit, and then calling her an idiot outside.
Sure enough, hearing about Ji Zhinan's embarrassing past made everyone feel much better.
Janet complained coldly, "She really has a problem. Who is she trying to impress with her haughty act? What's the point of her coming to the party if she's not going to find a dance partner?"
The most important task for these socialites attending this banquet is to pick out from among the sons of various companies whether there is one they like and fall in love with at first sight.
If so, their family would consider cooperating with that family and then using marriage to solidify the positions of both sides...
There's no such thing as Ji Zhinan, a lunatic who rejects everyone who comes his way.
Everyone was puzzled, but Cao Nana's eyes darted around, and suddenly she realized: "I think I know why."
"Why?!" Her words were quickly met with a question from everyone.
Under the gaze of five or six pairs of eyes, Cao Nana moved her lips and uttered those words: "Because Ji Zhinan can't dance!"
No one present expected this answer.
