"cough……"
Jiang Lai saw that I could still handle it, and was afraid of causing trouble for me, so he didn't say a word.
At this moment, Zhou Fang's words made him unable to hold back and choked on his own saliva.
To me, Shen Lu can be sarcastic and mean.
But she was speechless towards Zhou Fang, and she was also concerned about the presence of Old Madam Zhou, so she couldn't act like an elder, and her face turned red with frustration.
"You little bastard!"
Even if Old Madam Zhou indulged Zhou Fang, she had to keep her composure. She glared at him and asked, "Who taught you to talk like that?"
"Grandma, you taught me that."
Zhou Fang didn't take it seriously, "When you see injustice, you should help."
“…”
Old Madam Zhou glared at him angrily, but was speechless.
Anyone present could tell that Shen Li was deliberately looking for trouble, and his words were even more sarcastic.
Just when the topic was about to be over, the quiet and timid Shen Qingli spoke in a low voice with an innocent look.
"But Brother Fang, my mother is right. Girls should be chaste and faithful to their husbands..."
…
Jiang Lai instantly lost her temper, but her tone was still calm. "Miss Shen, a failed relationship or marriage is never something that should be nailed to the pillar of shame. You may not have been caught in the rain, but don't tear up other people's umbrellas."
"Kiri!"
Old Madam Shen also frowned. "Who told you this? If you're not happy after you get married, grandma will take you home immediately, understand? Divorce has nothing to do with whether you're chaste or not. Don't listen to what others say."
"mom!"
Chen Li didn't want to listen any further, "You are extremely biased, and what Qingli said is also true..."
"Yes?"
Madam Shen asked slowly and calmly, "Have you forgotten what the situation was like when you married into the Shen family?"
For a moment, the atmosphere almost froze.
Shen Li's face turned pale and blue, as if he had never expected that Old Lady Shen would bring this up.
Even Zhou Fang showed a hint of doubt on his face.
Listen to what the old lady said...
Chen Yu was also married that year.
The old lady's face darkened slightly. "For thirty years, I've never mentioned this matter. Because, just like what Ah Fang said just now, it's the most insignificant thing. But why do you use this to belittle others again and again?"
Shen Qi clenched his hands, trembling all over, as if he was extremely humiliated, and ran out.
Madam Zhou saw that Madam Shen was angry and could not help but comfort her, "Well, she has always been like this, why get angry with her?"
"To smooth things over."
Madam Shen glared at her and looked at me, "Girl, don't take what they just said to heart. Marriage doesn't mean anything. Besides, your design skills are exceptional. When the guests arrive later, there will definitely be people asking about the dress I'm wearing. Cheer up and make a fortune."
The old lady is wearing a lavender new Chinese style dress that I designed for her today. The waistline is just right, and it is loose yet shows off her figure. With the print, she looks very noble.
When people get older, comfort is more important than anything else when it comes to clothing.
It would be even better if it looks good.
So when designing for the two elderly ladies, in addition to their personal preferences, I also considered the comfort of the design and fabric.
However, I also know that Madam Shen's support is not only due to my ability.
More likely, it was because of the dream she had had before.
…
As dusk fell, guests arrived one after another.
Old Madam Shen stood up and took today's protagonist Shen Qingli out to greet the guests.
The butler led us to the banquet hall.
Jiang Lai and I were in the front, and Zhou Fang was following behind, kicking pebbles like a follower. "Why didn't you send me a message?"
“…”
I stopped and looked at him, "You know why."
He must have already investigated my marriage with Fu Qichuan thoroughly.
It should be clear that I am not interested in the relationship between three people.
He frowned, glanced at the housekeeper who had already walked away, and said, "She is not Shen Qingli."
"The paternity test is out."
I feel a little helpless.
He said firmly, "There must be something wrong with the paternity test. Ruan Nanzhi, I might mistake someone else for her."
I know that this "other person" is referring to me.
He spoke again in a calm voice: "But I definitely won't, I won't recognize her."
“…”
I pursed my lips and said, "That's between you and the Shen family, Zhou Fang. It's better for us to keep some distance."
I really don't want to get into trouble again.
After saying this, without even looking at his expression, she pulled Jiang Lai into the banquet hall.
Although this welcome banquet was held at the last minute, it was not perfunctory at all.
The lights were bright and the place was magnificent, it looked like a grand feast for the rich.
After taking the wine from the servant's tray, Jiang Lai looked at me with some surprise, "Why weren't you so cruel before?"
"Big sister."
I smiled helplessly. "Even the dumbest person knows they learn from their mistakes. Besides, the situation is different now."
"Why is it different?"
"It had already sunk in before, and the process of pulling it out was very painful and difficult."
I can't forget the sleepless nights I spent tossing and turning. "Right now, I'm still standing in front of the pit, and I haven't sunk anything yet, so it's sensible to do this."
It’s not easy for someone who has just failed to fall in love with another person.
Jiang Lai sighed, and then saw Madam Zhou waving us over and introducing us to some of the noble ladies around her.
"Didn't you all ask me if I changed the designer for my clothes recently? Look, it's this girl. Although she's young, she has a great talent for design and her craftsmanship is no worse than those of the old masters. The stitching and threading don't look like something a young person can do."
"Mrs. Zhou."
Jiang Lai and I greeted each other with a smile. Jiang Lai was more sociable, and she praised Nancy and me to those noble ladies in a half-truthful and half-boasting manner.
We all look at the Buddha instead of the monk, and we all need to customize a few sets of clothes.
Ordering clothes was one thing, but taking the opportunity to get close to the Zhou and Shen families was another.
As they were chatting, a lady smiled and said, "I just heard that the big boss of RF Group will be here today. I don't know how old he is. My little daughter is still single."
"Don't even think about it."
A wealthy woman familiar with her spoke up, "RF is on a roll. Besides the Fu Corporation, they've quickly acquired several other companies. This big boss is incredibly resourceful. Let's not even talk about whether or not we can even get close to him. Even if we do, he'll be ruthless and unrelenting."
The Fu family's group once dominated most of Jiangcheng.
After this series of operations, Fu Qichuan's net worth has increased countless times, and the gap between him and the other clan in terms of their complicated network of connections has been made up by his absolute financial strength.
Even worse than before.
In such a short period of time, it became a pipe dream for the Shen family to control the situation.
No, Chen Li would never look so eager to curry favor.
"What are you talking about?"
Chen Yu had returned to his usual demeanor. Hearing this, he interrupted with a smile, "It's not as scary as you say. Besides, it's too late for you to do anything!"
The noble lady who spoke first said, "Are you planning something for your Xingyu?"
"See through it but don't say it out loud!"
Chen Ni looked proud, as if she had already become the boss lady of the RF group. "Come on, they only have the CEO coming tonight, but after the big boss found out that our Xingyu was going to pick him up personally, he changed his mind and said he would come. Don't you think this is a sure thing?"
…
We walked away silently. Jiang Lai gloated and whispered, "Do you think she'll look unhappy when she finds out that Fu Qichuan is the big boss of RF?"
"Madam, Miss Xingyu is here to pick someone up!"
Before I could say anything, a servant came running in and hurriedly reported to Chen Li.
