Chapter 171 - Eating Cookies
"Who are you?" Shi Feiye glanced sideways at the three people. She didn't recognize any of them, and judging by their attire, she couldn't tell anything. She wanted to keep quiet, but after being criticized like that, she really wasn't one to hold back.
"We are all insignificant people. It's normal that Madam Qin doesn't remember us. I think Madam Qin is a noble person with a short memory and doesn't see people like us." One of the people in the blue skirt answered her.
"It seems you understand me quite well and are quite self-aware. Since you know you're insignificant, why bother saying such sarcastic things to me? I won't remember you even if you tell me. After all, I have a broad vision and a broad mind. There are so many people who envy me that I can't even remember them all."
The three people in front of him could not believe that Master Feiye could say such a thing, and they were immediately choked.
"Who envies you?" the woman in the yellow skirt retorted, "You just relied on forcing men to get a little benefit in the short term, and you really think you are a phoenix that has flown to the treetops?"
"That can't be done. After all, I'm different from you. No matter what, I'm what you call a phoenix now, and some people, even if they want to be a phoenix, don't have the fate to do so." Shi Feiye waved his hand with a particularly generous expression.
Then I asked them: "When we came to the banquet just now, there were two receptionists standing at the door. Do you know how old they are, whether they have boyfriends, and who their boyfriends are?"
The three women were puzzled: "How should we know? What does it have to do with us?"
"Oh, so you also know that it has nothing to do with you. I thought you didn't know." Shi Feiye said meaningfully. She felt her ankles were almost warm, and stood up:
"It's okay. If you want to say anything, just say it. I'll ask Mr. Zhou to use a loudspeaker when I get out. I'll broadcast your opinions and clarify to everyone that you're all good girls who don't want to marry rich men. Let those rich men stay away from you and give you a chance to rise on your own."
If these three people didn't want to marry a rich man, why would they talk about Shi Feiye behind her back? After hearing what Shi Feiye said, their faces changed. Shi Feiye ignored them and walked away with a snort of laughter.
If she were truly a self-made woman, she would be busy making friends and expanding her network. These three people might be the daughters of some unappreciated family. Respected daughters wouldn't have this kind of upbringing. Even if Shi Feiye didn't know the specifics, she still knew this little thing based on her previous memories.
The cannon fodder of the past actually liked hanging out with these people. We were all equally disrespected, so no one laughed at anyone else. They gathered together to gossip about others, and they could get a different kind of happiness out of it.
But Shi Feiye had no such interest. She wouldn't feel uncomfortable staying alone in a corner; it gave her time to think about her novel. They were all just drinking buddies anyway, so it didn't matter if she didn't make friends. She had finally gotten rid of one group, so she didn't want to cause trouble by gathering another.
Returning to the sofa, Qin Bulu and the others were gone. Shi Feiye took a quick look and found that the three of them were talking to others.
Thinking they were probably discussing business, Shi Feiye had no interest in them and didn't go near them. Since he was a little hungry, he grabbed some food and sat down to eat.
Everyone in the hall was preoccupied with their own thoughts, but Shi Feiye was alone, eating and drinking. Her style was completely different from everyone else's. Furthermore, due to her special status, she didn't notice anything was wrong, and everyone else was looking at her.
Qin Bulu also saw Shi Feiye's behavior clearly, but in his opinion, Shi Feiye could do whatever she wanted, and now she didn't need to consider anyone's face, it didn't matter.
As Shi Feiye ate, she sighed that the dim sum made by the chef here was simply better than what was sold outside. She told herself that she needed to earn more money to buy more delicious food. She had just stuffed another cookie into her mouth when she heard movement on the sofa next to her. She turned and saw it was the adult boy who was the main attraction of the Zhou family's banquet today.
"Are these snacks delicious?" Zhou Qixiao stared at the green cookies in Shi Feiye's hand. They looked like they had matcha flavor.
"Hmm, delicious." Shi Feiye finally swallowed the food in his mouth and handed the food in his hand to Zhou Qixiao, "Do you want to try it?"
Zhou Qixiao didn't hesitate to take it and put it in his mouth, but he felt it was just okay, not as delicious as Shi Feiye said. He looked at Shi Feiye again and found that Shi Feiye was still very satisfied with the food. Just looking at her made people feel that her food was delicious:
"Are you Mr. Qin's wife? Why are you sitting here alone and not going to look for him?"
"Isn't he talking to someone? I'm a little hungry too, so I'm eating something here." Shi Feiye thought the child was worried that her family didn't take good care of her.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm wearing high heels and I'm exhausted. I can sit here and rest. Your family is very thoughtful. I don't need anything."
Zhou Qixiao thought about what his sister had just told him, hesitated for a moment, and asked Shi Feiye:
"I heard that you and Mr. Qin were going to divorce, so why didn't you divorce? Mr. Qin likes you now, right?"
Normally, it would be rude for someone who is not close to you to ask about the other person's relationship. However, Shi Feiye thought that the other person was an eighteen-year-old young man. Boys of this age are very curious. He probably just felt curious, so he didn't care and answered casually:
"When he went bankrupt, I thought it was real. I thought I'd spent so much of his money before, it wouldn't be a good idea to just walk away, so I didn't divorce him. After all, I was just an ordinary person back then, so I couldn't handle anything. As for his comeback so quickly, I didn't expect it. Now I want to divorce him, but he won't, saying he can't be so heartless."
What Shi Feiye wanted to convey was that Qin Buzhu was a man who valued friendship and loyalty, which was also what the boss wanted to show. Since he was a good person, she promoted him.
By the way, she also showed her intention to divorce, so that if she divorces later, others will think it was her who wanted to divorce, so as not to ruin the boss's reputation.
"You're saying you want a divorce, but Young Master Qin doesn't want one because he doesn't want to be seen as heartless and ungrateful?" Zhou Qixiao wasn't entirely convinced. Even though he was still in school, he'd occasionally overhear his parents and sister discussing business matters, often sharing gossip. He'd also heard of Shi Feiye before.
However, thinking about the image he had heard before and comparing it with the person before him, Zhou Qixiao felt that the rumor might not be credible. If he didn't mention the name, no one would be able to connect the rumored Shi Feiye with the person before him.
