Chapter 56: She encounters a top-tier, stunningly handsome man right from the start! Who else could possibly catch her eye after this?
Xia Mian was baffled as to why Song Tianxue was so hostile towards her.
Besides, it wasn't her who asked Song Tianxue to come on stage and perform live, so what business is it of hers?
Song Tianxue then lashed out at her.
She didn't tolerate the other woman's behavior and looked at Song Tianxue expressionlessly, "Miss Song, what do you mean by this?"
Song Tianxue stared at Xia Mian's stunningly beautiful face and pursed her red lips.
"You've been standing next to me the whole time, just waiting to see me make a fool of myself?"
"Me? You want to laugh at me?" Xia Mian was completely baffled; she had personally been in charge of organizing this banquet.
If any conflict or problem arises among the guests at the banquet, she won't look good, okay?
Why would she want to see the guests she personally invited make a fool of herself?
What benefit would it bring her?
Besides, she's not a real member of the Fu family!
She has no right to laugh at others, does she?
Xia Mian took a deep breath.
“A person with a weak heart sees everything as dirty. Miss Song’s handwriting is strong and vigorous. I think Miss Song has excellent skills. Either you are suffering from your own inferiority complex, or you are treating me as your imaginary enemy.”
"I can tell you, whether your writing is good or bad has nothing to do with me. The most important thing is that this is the first time I've met you! Why are you so hostile towards a complete stranger, Miss Song?"
Song Tianxue's eyes darkened. This bitch dared to question her loudly in front of so many people. She was shameless!
Sure enough, this bitch spared no effort in trying to attract Chief Fu's attention, using all sorts of methods.
A surge of anger and resentment rose in her chest; her pride and self-respect wouldn't allow her to back down.
Her tone was defiant: "Miss Xia, why be so hypocritical? You're arguing with me just to attract men."
She looked at Fu Yanshen unwillingly, only to find that the man didn't even glance at her out of the corner of his eye; his gaze was fixed on Xia Mian's face.
Song Tianxue was furious; this bitch had actually attracted Fu Yanshen's attention.
She was filled with jealousy and resentment. She pushed Xia Mian away violently and left straight away, her back ramrod straight.
Xia Mian stared in astonishment at Song Tianxue's retreating figure. "What on earth is wrong with her? Is she acting so erratically? What attracts men? What does that have to do with men?"
Zhao Baoqi quietly walked up to Xia Mian, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "She's too crazy, let me tell you..."
But before she could explain, the banquet had already entered its final stage.
As videos of the flood-stricken areas began playing on the big screen, Zhao Baoqi had no choice but to shut up.
Roads in the mountains have been cut off by mudslides, preventing many vehicles carrying tourists from getting down the mountain. Bridges have also been washed away, and rocks continue to fall.
The scene shifts to houses destroyed, vehicles swept away in a chaotic mess, and floodwaters roaring like a ferocious beast.
Humans are so small in the face of nature. Power outages, school closures, public transportation shutdowns... houses collapsed into pieces, and cars were swept away by the flood, their destination unknown.
Soldiers in green camouflage uniforms urgently evacuated tens of thousands of disaster victims.
"Many of you here probably haven't experienced this situation firsthand, but these are real scenes that have happened in the last few days." Fu Yanshen held the microphone, his magnetic voice resounding throughout the banquet hall.
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the charity banquet."
"I also thank everyone on behalf of the disaster victims."
Everyone was silent, and deeply shocked!
Human beings are so insignificant; nothing is more important than being alive!
The banquet lasted until late at night, and the guests gradually left.
Reeking of alcohol, Song Tianxue stopped Fu Yanshen from leaving.
"You! Why did you disagree with the arranged marriage? Do you even know why? Because you have become a disgrace to the family!"
She hiccuped, swaying slightly, "I was trying to get your attention... but I messed it up again..."
"I clearly wrote 'Tranquility leads to far-reaching goals' very well..."
She became more and more agitated as she spoke, tears streaming down her face, ruining her makeup and smudging her eyeliner.
Fu Yanshen looked down at Song Tianxue with a cold and distant expression on his handsome face.
"Miss Song, please have some self-respect."
"Self-respect? What self-respect? I heard that woman shamelessly stayed at your house, is that right? Well then, I want to stay at your house too, so I can be with you, right?"
Song Tianxue cried and made a scene, "I want to marry you! I must marry you! Only by marrying you can I prove my worth!"
"Fu Yanshen, look at me. I'm pretty and have a great figure... How can I compare to Xia Mian?"
Zhou Yaran was desperately pulling her along, "Tianxue, Tianxue, let's go!"
"I don't want to leave, I want to stay here! Why can Xia Mian stay but I can't?" Song Tianxue was very strong after drinking, and she pushed her best friend away and pounced on Fu Yanshen.
Fu Yanshen took a few steps back, walked past the two of them, and left without looking back.
Song Tianxue knelt on the ground, gazing at the man's retreating figure and weeping bitterly, "Why...why did you do this to me! Is it because of Xia Mian!"
Xia Mian: "..."
She's innocent, okay?
No wonder Song Tianxue seemed hostile and dissatisfied with her... It turns out she wanted to marry Fu Yanshen.
Zhao Baoqi nudged Xia Mian's arm, "What I was just about to tell you... is this: Song Tianxue loves my brother but can't have him!"
Xia Mian shrugged helplessly. What did it have to do with her? She was just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire!
...
Xia Family Villa.
Lu Lian'er scrolled through Zhou Yaran's photos on WeChat Moments with envy and jealousy.
"What's going on? It's just that I went to the Fu family banquet. Do I really need to post a nine-grid post? And I've posted it again and again."
"What's there to be proud of after attending the Fu family banquet?"
Lu Lian'er scrutinized the photos Zhou Yaran had posted, wishing she could examine them closely with a magnifying glass.
As she looked, her face fell, and she stared in confusion at a somewhat blurry figure. "Why does this woman on the edge look so much like Xia Mian?"
The photos posted by Zhou Yaran used a blurred background to highlight herself and Song Tianxue.
Several of her photos are of her with Song Tianxue.
"Hmph! He only gets to attend banquets by sucking up to Miss Song every day, what a top-tier simp!"
"How could a slut like Xia Mian possibly attend such a high-class banquet? She only deserves to be a waitress! She could never possibly wear such an expensive dress!"
She was in the middle of a tirade when the door to the room opened and Xia Qinglin walked in.
Her eyes darted around. "Big brother, take a look! Isn't this Xia Mian?"
Xia Qinglin glanced at the photo. "She looks quite similar, but... how could she possibly attend the Fu family's banquet? Even I can't get an invitation. Being invited by the Fu family means these guests are quite powerful."
"Then you should try harder, brother! Try to get in touch with the Fu family too!" After hearing Xia Qinglin's words, Lu Lian'er also felt that what he said made sense, and that Xia Mian had no chance of going.
"I also want to attend banquets with these top socialites and exchange ideas with them," Lu Lian'er said pitifully.
