Jiang Yuan was startled and stood up subconsciously, "Miss, why are you here?"
Huo Ci wore a black long dress, two bracelets on her wrists, imperial green jadeite matched with gold bracelets, and pink diamonds on her fingers. She looked bright and elegant, and extremely noble.
She is Huo Yao's sister, a rare female with S-level mental power. She inherited the excellent genes of her parents and has a high status, not inferior to that of a princess. Even the generally unpopular and powerless princesses cannot compare to her.
Chen Yin knew her background through the original novel. Her mother, Shen Mingyue, came from a scholarly family. She was the daughter of the current Minister of Finance and had been childhood sweethearts with Marshal Huo, with whom she had two daughters and a son.
Jiang Yuan's background was completely different from hers. She was born in a slum and worked in a restaurant to earn tuition. She met Marshal Huo by chance and got Huo Xun by chance, so Marshal Huo reluctantly married her. Things were very ugly at the time. She thought that with the excellent genes of the Huo family, she could give birth to a child with at least S-level mental power, but she didn't expect it to be A-level.
Jiang Yuan and her son were not valued, so when the Queen arranged the marriage, she was pushed out to marry the notorious evil woman Chen Yin.
Huo Ci glanced at the indifferent Chen Yin, turned the jade bracelet on his wrist, and said nonchalantly: "Huo Yao and the Fifth Princess are getting married soon. My father is at the front line, and my mother specially invited the Fifth Princess to come for a gathering. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Madam Jiang's birthday is today."
She turned her mouth away, very impatiently: "Look, the Fifth Princess heard the news and insisted on coming over to celebrate with you. What are you still standing there for? Why don't you invite the Fifth Princess to take a seat? You have no manners at all. People from the slums have no manners at all!"
Huo Ci is also well-known in the upper class for his arrogance and domineering behavior.
Jiang Yuan's body trembled, and she forced a smile. She didn't dare to look at Huo Xun's forbearing eyes, and hurried to greet Shen Qiangwei.
"Fifth Princess, please come and sit down. I didn't know you were coming, so I made some food. Please don't be disgusted."
Jiang Yuan, who had been unpopular since childhood, was obviously not used to such scenes. Due to their status, she had to be humble.
Shen Qiangwei glanced at Huo Xun, who clenched his fists, and sighed. She used her eyes to stop Huo Ci's behavior and said with a smile: "Happy birthday, Madam Jiang. Marshal Huo is fighting on the front lines for the country and didn't even have time to accompany you on your birthday. As a princess, I have the responsibility to come and express my condolences on behalf of the Queen Mother."
She raised her hand, and Zhou Qitian, one of the five beast husbands, reluctantly took out the gift box from the space and opened it in front of Chen Yin and others.
It's a medicine.
The potion was in high demand in MSI. Seeing Shen Qiangwei spend such a valuable item, Huo Ci's face changed: "Fifth Prince, isn't it a waste to give the potion to her? Did you take the wrong one?"
Chen Qiangwei gestured for the five beast husbands to sit down, and said with a smile: "Gu's new beauty mask is very popular. This potion can make 100 masks, and the price of one mask alone is as high as tens of thousands. Now it has been sold out in various channels. I spent two million to ask for this potion and specially gave it to Madam Jiang. I hope you will stay young forever."
Hearing this, Huo Ci's face became even uglier.
What does it mean? Such a good thing is not given to her mother, but given to this pariah. Her mother is Shen Qiangwei's proper mother-in-law. Isn't this a slap in her mother's face?
Shen Qiangwei was not interested in caring about Huo Ci's mood. "Sister, the Gu family has a long history with you. Why didn't you bring a bouquet of flowers to honor Madam Jiang on her birthday? I'm not saying anything bad about you. Madam Jiang is still your elder after all."
Shen Qiangwei did it on purpose. She brought Huo Ci here to provoke and humiliate Jiang Yuan, thinking that she would not have the courage to resist. Huo Xun had a low status in the Huo family and could only endure it silently. No one could help him. Only in this way would Huo Xun understand who to follow was the right choice.
What she can give, Chen Yin can never give.
Jiang Yuan felt a chill in her heart, not even a hint of surprise. She quickly waved her hands, "This thing is too valuable. I can't accept it. The Fifth Princess should give it to Madam Li."
"How outrageous!"
Huo Ci was furious and slammed the table: "Give the things you don't want to my mother. Do you think my mother is a garbage collector?"
Jiang Yuan felt a chill on her back, realizing that she had said something wrong, and was about to explain.
"Have you had enough of the commotion?"
Shen Yin slammed the chopsticks in her hand and glared at the group of people, "Indifferent to the occasion? Shen Qiangwei, you still remember that you are the younger sister, who are you teaching a lesson to? And you, Huo Ci, you are an uneducated thing. Madam Jiang is your elder, and you don't hit people in the face when you hit them. You made a big fuss at the birthday party. Are you trying to embarrass Madam Jiang, or are you deliberately provoking me!"
The arrogant Huo Ci was stunned and looked at Chen Yin in disbelief.
I clearly remember the scene when I first met Chen Yin at the Huo family. I was so timid that I didn't dare look her in the eye. How long has it been since then, and he even dared to slam the table at her?
"You're the one provoking me! Birds of a feather flock together. Coincidentally, you also come from the slums. No wonder you're able to get along with Huo Xun and his mother."
Huo Ci retorted, venting his anger towards Shen Qiangwei.
As soon as the slums appeared, Shen Qiangweiâs face changed, and Shen Yin turned his face on the spot and slapped her hard.
It fell with a "pa--" sound.
The noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
Shen Qiangwei was stunned. Even if she was angry, she would not dare to slap Huo Ci in the face like this.
"Who the hell do you think you are, yelling in front of me? Get out!"
Huo Ci covered his face, sneered and nodded, his eyes icy, "Huo Xun, is this what you mean? Very good, this is my Huo family, you are shameless, come on! Kick them out!"
Jiang Yuan's face changed drastically. She quickly stood up and pulled Chen Yin behind her, bowing her head to apologize, "Miss, this, the Fourth Princess didn't mean it. If you want to blame someone, blame me. If you really hurt the Fourth Princess, you can't bear the responsibility."
