It wasn’t that Wei Yong didn’t feel everyone’s complicated gazes, he also knew that Shen Hanxing was embarrassing him in front of everyone, but what could he do?

He was the one who was foolish enough to get baited into impulsively calling Shen Hanxing and accusing her. He didn’t want to discuss what happened between their younger siblings in public, so if he was embarrassed, so be it.

The Wei Corporation and Ji Corporation were enemies, but as long as neither side openly admit that, they had to maintain a harmonious appearance between the two. The three main families in S City had been in power for a long time, and they hold most of the available resources. Many people wanted to drag them down, watch them fight, and then reap the benefits.

Even behind simple incidents were undercurrents that others could not see. To regular people, they only saw that the Ji family’s new madam was very powerful. She only married into the Ji family a short while ago, but the Ji brothers already have her back. Even Wei Yong had to pay her some respect.

It was natural for businessmen to pursue profits. Although they looked down on Shen Hanxing’s background, she proved to them her worth. The people who previously avoided interacting with her all moved closer and started chatting with her.

This was not what Cheng Liu wanted to see. She bit the corner of her lips tightly, her eyes filled with jealousy.

“So boring.”

Ji Qian shook off Cheng Liu’s hand. “You guys can stay here. I’m going out to get some fresh air.” After saying that, she turned around and left.

Watching her walk away, Cheng Liu could no longer control the hatred in her heart. Why? Ji Yan already fell and the person in power now was her brother, Cheng Songyang. Ji Qian would have to rely on them to survive in the future. How was she still so haughty? What right did she have to be so arrogant!

“Let’s go too.”

Cheng Liu gritted her teeth. Her gaze passed through the crowd and landed on Shen Hanxing. “Let’s deal with Ji family’s Forth Young Misuss first.” As for Shen Hanxing that country bumpkin, she had plenty of time to deal with her later...

Half an hour later, Shen Hanxing sent away all the people who came to chat. Ji Zhou and Ji Yang followed behind her, watching her dance around all these powerful people. She carefully selected her words, making it impossible for anyone to catch anything on her. Everyone who came to chat with her would leave with a smile on their face.

But she clearly didn’t promise those people anything... the more beautiful a woman was, the better she was at lying.

At that moment, a series of loud shouts and sharp questioning came from outside. “Ji Qian, what are you doing? !”

Ji Qian?

Shen Hanxing stopped in her tracks. Her jade-like feet, which were wearing high heels, did not hesitate as she quickly turned around and walk out the door. Ji Yang, Ji Zhou, and Ji Ning followed closely behind her.

The few of them quickly walked to the banquet’s main venue–the Zhuang family’s exquisite greenhouse. Everyone in S City knew that Old Master Zhuang loved flowers and plants. To please the old master, members of the Zhuang family gathered precious flowers and plants from all over the world.

The Zhuang family held a banquet because Old Master Zhuang acquired an extremely precious orchid. Supposedly this orchid was extremely expensive. The price of one on the black market was already in the tens of millions. Furthermore, the particular orchid that Old Master Zhuang obtained was a rare variant, so it was worth even more.

Supposedly, someone offered hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the orchid from Old Master Zhuang, but he rejected the offer. Now, this precious orchid was smashed on the ground. The flowerpot shattered, soil was all over the ground, and the orchid was drooping and lifeless.

Ji Qian’s face was pale as she stood in the crowd. She shook her head helplessly and explained, “No, I didn’t... I didn’t do it on purpose...”

Just as she was about to go out for a walk, she saw flowers blooming in the greenhouse, so she came in to take a look. She didn’t expect that when she bent down to admire this precious orchid, someone behind her bumped into her, and she accidentally knocked the orchid to the ground.

“Ji Qian, you know that this orchid is Old Master Zhuang’s favorite and also the most precious flower in the greenhouse.” Cheng Liu suppressed the excitement in her eyes and said aloud, “Although everyone is curious about this orchid they all know to stand a little further away so they don’t damage this orchid. You are the only one who walked up close to observe and then you knocked the orchid over!”

“Miss Ji.”

Old Master Zhuang’s granddaughter, Zhuang Yu, was a short-hair girl with a cheerful personality. However, no matter how good her temper was, seeing someone destroy her grandfather’s favorite orchid, she still flew into a rage. “This orchid is my grandfather’s favorite. Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused?”

Ji Qian wanted to cry, but no tears came out. “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Although she was arrogant, she was not a brainless fool. Why would she deliberately destroy this orchid when she knew how valuable it was? What good could come that?
