All the ladies around the table were shocked by her words.Zhang Qian Mi choked on the pastry and raised her trembling voice as she yelled at her, "What did you just say?!"
Everyone also awkwardly peered at the lady who said those words.
Although they also didn"t like this arrogant Zhang Qian Mi, they wouldn"t openly criticize her and would only talk about her in her back.
After all, even though she was a daughter from a mistress, she was still the daughter of the Zhang Family. No one would dare to talk rudely about her and court death.
The lady in blue who was now the focus of everyone"s attention, wiped her mouth with a napkin elegantly as she smiled amicably.
"...Those were Gu Ran"s words. Miss Zhang, there is no need to be so worked up; it wasn"t me who said that. I"m just saying what Gu Ran said."
Zhang Qian Mi was about to rebuke her coldly but before he could do so, she was held back by her best friend. "Qianqian, don"t seek trouble with her! She"s Xu Zhen! We can"t offend her!"
When she heard her own name, Xu Zhen smiled and waved her hand to everyone.
"Everyone here doesn"t seem to know me so allow me to introduce myself. I"m Xu Zhen, the sole heiress of the Zhuolin Corporation. Please don"t mind me since this is my first time here!"
Zhang Qian Mi swallowed her anger forcefully when she heard "Zhuolin Corporation" and kept quiet. She was quite shocked that someone like Xu Zhen had visited her lowly teparty.
The surrounding ladies were also astounded by how the lady with "vulgar" mouth had turned out to be the famous socialite, Xu Zhen!
Zhuolin Corporation was initially a company which was in the verge of bankruptcy half a year ago.
Who knew how a mysterious investor suddenly came out of nowhere and had helped the Zhuolin Corporation return to its prime again.
Not limited to just that, it had even soared to become one of the top companies in China.
The Xu Zhen in front of them, had also played an important part in bringing her grandfather"s company to what it was now, after her father had left her and her mother in debts and ran away with his mistress.
They didn"t know why such an important figure would attend such a measly teparty but when they recalled her words just now, they slowly understood.
There was a rumor that Xu Zhen hated men who cheated on their wife and the mistress who seduced them.
It made sense that Xu Zhen was here to criticize Zhang Qian Mi, the host of the teparty, who had been born of a mistress and a cheating man.
Xu Zhen had no idea that the motive of her appearance here would turn to be so righteous and just, when she just came out of interest.
Interest at why "she" had told her to track this girl"s actions recently..
Don"t ask her how she knew why Gu Ran was absent today, she had just accidentally overheard it from one of the ladies present here when Zhang Qian Mi and her best friend had not come out yet.
And so after Xu Zhen ruined the atmosphere of the gathering, Zhang Qian Mi ended the teparty sooner and sent all the ladies away in a huff.
"Tsk tsk, I don"t understand why such a talented woman like her is interested in this little girl.."
Xu Zhen had thought that Zhang Qian Mi would turn out to be a powerful figure but she was just a normal lady from a rich family, who was spoiled rotten.
Her heart sunk when she realized that she had just wasted an entire afternoon, listening to the meaningless talks of the n.o.ble ladies.
She didn"t find any meaningful information from the teparty but she was rather interested in the Miss w.a.n.g who had been praised endlessly by the ladies.
"w.a.n.g Yuju, is it? I hope I have a chance to meet you in person. If you"re really that capable as they say, I must get you on our side!"
Xu Zhen smiled mysteriously as she gracefully got on her car and left the Zhang Household.
After all the ladies had left, Zhang Qian Mi stormed off to her room angrily. Feng Shishi, her best friend, also quickly followed after her.
*Crash*
The moment she reached the room, a vase fell right beside her legs and broke into pieces.
"Ahh!" Feng Shishi screamed out of terror, her face slightly pale. She bit her lips as she watched Zhang Qian Mi throwing things here and there madly.
"Qianqian.. Don"t be mad.." She uttered while trembling.
Zhang Qian Mi continued to throw a tantrum as she shouted, "How could she?! That, that Xu Zhen, why does she have to embarra.s.s me like that?! W-Who does she think she is! If I wanted, her Zhuolin Corporation would be bankrupt again! And that Gu Ran, she-"
Suddenly, she stopped and looked at Feng Shishi while asking coldly, "Feng Shishi! How did she know that I was a.."
Feng Shishi understood her words even though she didn"t complete it.
She hastily replied, "Rumor has been spreading since last night that you"re an illegitimate daughter! She must"ve found out from the rumors.."
