Chen Li didn't know that Su Wenyue was the boss of Tianya Pavilion. She just simply disliked Su Wenyue as a person. Of course, a large part of it was because of Han Yu, otherwise her expression would have been even uglier.
Chen Li originally wanted to take advantage of this banquet to enter the upper circle, and then give those noble ladies some gifts to establish relationships with them. This would not only expand her network, but also open up the market. She believed that her own things would definitely be favored by those noble ladies.
With her current status, she is loved by her parents and her family is relatively wealthy, so she can do what she wants freely. The only downside is that her status as a businessman is too low, and the friends she makes are all in the business world, not people of status. She got Liu Xiu and others by relying on her own abilities, and this invitation was also from Liu Xiu, otherwise she might not even be able to enter the Yin family's gate.
It's really infuriating to say. Obviously, the Yin family is just a business family now, but because of its previous foundation, several important ancestors, and privately stockpiled some soldiers and thugs, it has suddenly become a wealthy and powerful family in the local area. They think they are great. Liu Xiu treats the Yin family better than her. When she is unhappy and throws a tantrum, Liu Xiu blames her for being ignorant and hindering his great cause. What's so great about the Yin family? It's really infuriating.
Chen Li wanted to demonstrate her abilities and expand her market by making connections at this banquet, so she found a way to beg Liu Xiu to give her this post, using the excuse of getting closer to the Yin family. Liu Xiu finally agreed, and Chen Li was full of confidence. She didn't expect to meet Su Wenyue before she entered the Yin family, and she was dressed so beautifully. Plus, Su Wenyue was beautiful, which made her look inferior. She even felt a little pessimistic in front of Su Wenyue. What's more, this person was Han Yu's wife. For this woman, Han Yu didn't give her any face at all.
However, Chen Li's greatest advantage is that she knows how to deal with current events. It is not easy for her to offend Su Wenyue because of her current status. Not to mention that Su Wenyue is an official's wife and Liu Xiu values Han Yu. She cannot treat Su Wenyue as she wishes. Instead, she has to greet her with a smile. She feels so aggrieved in her heart. Chen Li swears that one day she will be able to trample Su Wenyue under her feet and avenge her previous shame.
"It's Mrs. Han. Nice to meet you. Mrs. Han is also here to attend the banquet, right? What a coincidence." Chen Li calmed down and walked quickly towards Su Wenyue, saying with a smile.
Su Wenyue paid attention to Chen Li and saw everything that Chen Li did just now. Seeing Chen Li's reaction, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. This 'Noble Concubine Li' was really tolerant. She obviously hated her so much, but she could pretend to be friendly and enthusiastic. This alone was not easy.
Since Chen Li showed a friendly attitude, Su Wenyue did not do anything awkward. Although this woman was coveting her man, she showed a faint smile on her face: "It's really a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet Miss Chen here. Miss Chen is dressed so brightly today. Are you here to attend the banquet too?"
Chen Li felt that Su Wenyue was being superior, which made her feel even more uncomfortable, but she still managed to maintain a smile: "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have met Madam Han here."
"Oh, it seems that Miss Chen is also acquainted with Miss Yin, otherwise why would she be invited to the banquet? Miss Yin and I have met several times. Miss Yin is a very nice person and is worth making friends with." Su Wenyue said with a smile. She knew that Chen Li and Yin Lihua would be enemies in the future, and the two women's eyes were on the same man, so she said with some malicious intent.
In fact, it is unlikely that Chen Li knew Yin Lihua. She had met Yin Lihua several times and knew that she was a woman who looked peaceful but had a sense of arrogance. She would probably disdain to associate with Chen Li. What's more, Chen Li and Liu Xiu had an ambiguous relationship. At this time, the Yin family already had the intention of joining Liu Xiu's camp. The most effective means was marriage. Naturally, they would find out about Liu Xiu's situation and would not be unaware of the relationship between this woman and Liu Xiu.
Sure enough, after hearing Su Wenyue's words, Chen Li's face froze and the smile on her face became more forced. How could she know Miss Yin? However, she had met Miss Yin once at Liu Xiu's house. The way she treated her as nothing made her unforgettable for the rest of her life. She clearly did nothing wrong, but she felt that this woman was more hateful than anyone else. Moreover, she also knew that Liu Xiu was somewhat fond of Miss Yin.
In Chen Li's view, this was nothing more than a combination of interests, but it made her feel even more uncomfortable. If it was just pure love, she could use her own abilities to make Liu Xiu change his attitude. After all, Liu Xiu was a career-oriented person and didn't really care much about beauty. Even if he really liked her, he could still sacrifice for the sake of interests. But if it was a combination of interests, especially with the Yin family growing stronger, the situation would definitely be unfavorable to her, and Yin Lihua would be in a position to suppress her in the future.
However, although Chen Li felt this way in her heart, she naturally could not tell the truth. She came here today to expand her relationship through the Yin family's banquet and also to show it to Liu Xiu. If she offended the Yin family, all her plans would be in vain, and it would not be so easy to get Liu Xiu's help in the future.
"Miss Yin is indeed a very good person." Chen Li was reluctant to say that she got the invitation from Liu Xiu, so she spoke ambiguously to avoid the question she didn't want to answer. Just at this moment, she was almost at the door of Yin's house. The servants of Yin's family saw the visitor and hurried over to greet him, which solved Chen Li's dilemma.
Chen Li saw the servant walking towards them slowly with a smile on his face. She raised her chin slightly, with a decent and confident smile on her face. She thought to herself that no matter what the young lady of the Yin family was like, the servants of the Yin family were well trained and had a good attitude.
Seeing the servant coming over, Chen Lifang wanted to say a few words of praise, but unexpectedly the servant walked straight past her and went behind her, to the position where Su Wenyue was. The smile Chen Lifang had just revealed froze, and she stood there not knowing how to react. She had deliberately walked in front of Su Wenyue, just to occupy the front position so that people would notice her first, but unfortunately her identity destined certain things.
"Madam Han, you are finally here. Young lady has long ago instructed me to wait for you here and not to be negligent. I will welcome you in right away." The servant became more and more attentive in front of Su Wenyue. His face was wrinkled with a smile and he looked at Su Wenyue in a flattering manner, which showed the friendly attitude of the Yin family.
This was indeed something Yin Lihua had specially arranged. Ever since the last conflict between Yin Lihua and Su Wenyue was resolved, the two families had a close relationship because of Liu Xiu, and Han Yu's identity and status had changed, Miss Yin's attitude towards Su Wenyue became more attentive and considerate.
