Mrs. Fang and a few others were so angry their faces nearly fell off.
Several sisters who were usually extrely close exchanged resentful glances.
Chen Jing’s eyes said, "It’s all your fault. Wasn’t there a better thod? Why use this way to exclude? How do we respond now?"
Yang Yang’s frustration was, "Aren’t you the ones to bla? Usually, how hard can it be to exclude Qiu Zhixuan on her own? And today, on this occasion, there’s the so-called Queen of Trouble in the entertainnt circle, Shen Jian妮! How do we exit this situation now?"
Li Zhi’s face was even gloomier, unable to utter a word.
Feng Chengxuan doesn’t like her, that’s clear, but now the others in the Feng family...
Nobody had ever isolated Li Zhi and her friends like this, their faces turned pale from anger, fists clenching faintly.
Finally, Mrs. Fang awkwardly smiled and said, "We’re all from Rong City; wouldn’t it be better if we communicate in Rong City dialect?"
Shen Funni nodded in sudden realization and said, "Oh right, I hadn’t considered that."
This remark gave them a way out.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Mrs. Fang and the others had slight smiles on their lips.
Yet a shred of smugness, a "Glad you ca to your senses" feeling, hadn’t fully ford.
Then Shen Funni continued, "Let’s get back to our previous conversation topic. You were just praising and Zhi Xuan for sothing? It seed like... we’re quite a match, all beauty, all having changed nas to find desirable husbands?"
Mrs. Fang and the others nearly spat blood.
Witnessing He Qimo and Feng Chengjin’s faces turn dark instantly, those cold, penetrating gazes ca from the Yu Family, Lu Family, and Ms. Liang, sending sharp looks of resentnt.
Mrs. Fang wanted to shout, "QNMLGBD, who goes around denouncing people in public like this? The tone we used wasn’t the sa as your troublemaking tone now! Moreover, when we talked, so many people weren’t around!"
And your earlier, frantic greeting was just to intentionally gather everyone here, wasn’t it!
However, as far as Shen Funni’s values go...
She did it on purpose!
Moreover, stirring up trouble, whatever level she reached, whether three or seven levels, was beyond her concern.
Even Zhou Huii at ho is bent to her will; she won’t fear these gossipmongers.
Her bright eyes stared "innocently" large, making her provocative smile even more rampant.
Mrs. Fang, Yang Yang, Chen Jing, and the rest, faced with the intense chill of the Feng and He Families, sweat almost wanted to retract their heads into their necks.
And there they saw, Mr. Fang, Mr. Yang, Mr. Chen from their families heard these words, their furious eyes glaring...
Mrs. Fang, Yang Yang, and Chen Jing understood that being a wife in a wealthy family is not easy!
Swallowing their pride, the three won could only force smiles, easing the situation, "Oh no! We ant that you’re both so beautiful and have found ideal husbands; it’s a match made in heaven, a perfect couple. We genuinely an to congratulate you!"
They tried to supplent every statent with nearly sycophantic intensity.
"Oh? Is that so?" Shen Funni understood that the words spoken at social events could often be interpreted both ways.
Mrs. Fang and the others held sarcasm deep inside, masked with smiles which only Shen Funni and Qiu Zhixuan could decipher, saying, "That’s right, Mrs. He misunderstood, absolutely didn’t hear us wrong, our praise was genuine."
"Oh, then it must be my lacking comprehension skills." Shen Funni nodded.
Mrs. Fang and the others’ cold smiles widened.
But the next words, if not for the highly significant occasion of the cocktail party, privately, would’ve made Mrs. Fang and the others wish to slap Shen Funni!
If the earlier anger was rated at 50 points, now it could damn well resemble volcanic eruptions! Launching into space! Nuclear explosions!
Shen Funni glanced around at the half-filled Rong City elite lady scene.
With a crooked grin, she said with piercing eyes, "Why don’t you all praise and Zhixuan really well now? My hair’s long, but knowledge’s short. When I debuted in the entertainnt circle as Shen Jian妮, all I heard was insults. Now, I’ve just married into the upper class, haven’t heard any praises yet, would you kindly praise us properly?"
...
In one night.
How Mrs. Fang, Yang Yang, Chen Jing and the others were pressured to praise Qiu Zhixuan and Shen Funni sky-high, nobody knew.
Only knowing that by the end, Qiu Zhixuan’s eyes smiled so wide they almost ford crescents.
Shen Funni’s face held a "Such praise, so-so; it still falls short compared to fans" look.
Mrs. Fang and others were so angry they nearly rushed up to tear off Shen Funni’s face.
But for the He Family’s newly-acquired Young Madam, how dare they?
Today’s loss of dignity is irrevocable!
Qiu Zhixuan looked at this result, curling her lips, "Aren’t you afraid that by just joining, you’ve offended them and life in the circle becos difficult later?"
Watching Mrs. Fang’s group leaving with gloomy, vicious eyes, Qiu Zhixuan knew that after this, among Rong City’s elite lady circle, an epic storm out of control would begin.
Unexpectedly, Shen Funni chuckled and said nonchalantly, "What can happen? All won married into the upper class, what can they do, hit ? Kill ? As long as there’s no substantial harm to personal safety, these little tricks among won, what are they! No problem!"
Shen Funni spoke with such carefree ease.
But Qiu Zhixuan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, unable to describe her feelings at that mont.
Especially in these years of growth, she truly is no longer intimidated by any woman.
Yet so things remain unchanged despite growth, inborn traits never fade.
For instance, disliking causing trouble for others, disliking bullying en masse, and even more, disliking dragging friends down together.
All along, Qiu Zhixuan believed she had the confidence to overshadow Li Zhi in other aspects, except for this one...
In recent tis, she hesitated a lot, was hurt, and quite frustrated after being choked by Li Zhi, yet she couldn’t bring herself to ntion it to Cheng Jin.
But she never thought...
Look at Shen Funni standing before her.
With an inherently pure and refined appearance, yet mixed with a fiery temperant, the slight crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes from laughter gave no impression of her age, instead exuding a kind of ethereal clarity.
Perhaps Shen Funni was a sprite sent to earth by the heavens.
A few years ago, she thought they were still "rivals in love."
Then unexpectedly, due to an accident, they reconciled and on the surface beca friends who appreciated each other.
But she never imagined life progressing to this stage...
Qiu Zhixuan scrutinized deeply, until she gently asked, "Are you sure?"
Shen Funni raised her eyes, t hers, seemingly understanding sothing.
Tilting her head, she smiled and said, "Zhixuan, do you know when I think you’re the most charming?"
Qiu Zhixuan was taken aback.
Shen Funni: "The very first day of our story, when you slapped my face in response to my provocation."
In an instant, nothing needed further explanation.
Perhaps so love is between n and won, but so friendships are between won.
Is there friendship between won?
Yes.
Perhaps it doesn’t arrive as straightforward and neat as between n, sotis accompanied by tearing, hatred.
But when so things are let go, all misunderstandings and tolerance unfold, ti draws a circle and returns to the original starting point, they gain appreciation, who says they can’t beco each other’s close angels?
Qiu Zhixuan’s lips curved slightly.
Shen Funni glanced around at the lavish aristocratic banquet, embraced Qiu Zhixuan’s shoulders, raised her chin and asked, "How about it? You’ve been Rong City’s top socialite for years, fancy being Rong City’s top noble lady?"
Qiu Zhixuan pressed her lips, "Did your family’s Old He ever tell you that you look quite good when you’re instigating?"
Shen Funni imdiately covered her blushing face and teasingly said, "No, he never said that!"
In an instant, Qiu Zhixuan laughed.
Her eyes smiled like crescent moons.
She rembered, between her and He Qimo, even though love wasn’t the final destination, their deep bond over the years had led them to understand each other completely!
She and He Qimo were too alike, that’s why they couldn’t be together.
Through the flickering lights, she looked at He Qimo amidst a crowd.
Their eyes t.
He Qimo seed to understand sothing, his face slightly reddened.
Turning his gaze to Shen Funni, he couldn’t help but smile.
That kind of smile, although his lips were cold, made people feel warm as water, even as tender as moonlight...
At the sa mont, as if hearing a bit of Qiu Zhixuan and Shen Funni’s conversation.
Feng Chengyue paused, then walked over, "Third Sister-in-law."
"Hmm?" Qiu Zhixuan was puzzled.
Feng Chengyue didn’t want to say anything against her principles, but looking at Qiu Mingyan, who had just returned from overseas in the distance, the urge to protect her lover’s dignity made her say to Qiu Zhixuan, "Count in too."
Qiu Zhixuan was stunned, "You..."
Unexpectedly, Yu Wei ca over at this mont, having understood the previous events.
Due to her health, over the years, her connection with Qiu Zhixuan in this aspect was limited, never expecting that Qiu Zhixuan had reached the point where she could handle things independently, keeping it from her.
Raising her brow slightly, Yu Wei smiled and said, "How can I not be part of helping you ascend to Rong City’s top noble lady’s throne?"
For a mont, Qiu Zhixuan never imagined she could receive support from so many female friends.
Alongside, Old Yu’s precious one glanced at her own mother, then looked at Old Yu, whispered softly, "I won’t participate, after all, it’s my biological mother, but Third Mom, I’ll cheer for you secretly!"
Second sister Feng Chengjie smiled, and added, "I’m too old, not suitable, besides I’ve never torn faces with the eldest sister-in-law, but if you need any help, I’ll be involved privately."
This completely filled Qiu Zhixuan with all the energy she needed.
As the banquet drew to a close.
Li Zhi, Mrs. Fang, Yang Yang, Chen Jing and others stood at the door waiting for them.
At the mont their eyes t.
This group with Qiu Zhixuan, gazed at them.
The corners of Qiu Zhixuan’s lips curled coldly...
