Feng Qing smiled and looked at Feng Jianing. Light swirled in her large eyes. She couldn’t help but say, “Oh? Dirty deal? What do you mean?”
Perhaps because she was so angry that she temporarily lost her ability to think, Feng Jianing actually said without thinking, “Hmph, don’t you know what a dirty deal is? You must have hooked up with some wild man again and served him comfortably in bed before he agreed to help you tamper with the results of the appraisal personally. This is simply too easy for a woman like you who doesn’t know how to behave!”
Upon hearing this, Feng Qing’s originally large eyes instantly narrowed. Two cold lights shot out of her pupils. She retorted coldly, “Feng Jianing, do you think that all the women in the world are the same as you?”
With that, Feng Qing sneered and glanced at Feng Jianing’s pointed stomach. Her light sentence retorted Feng Jianing very effectively, making everyone understand that she was mocking the international jokes Feng Jianing had made in Country F.
In fact, in the eyes of the guests, Feng Jianing was not worth mentioning at all. If not for her taking the initiative to shout at the entrance of the banquet hall, no one would have noticed her at all. However, not paying attention and disregarding her did not mean that the guests did not know Feng Jianing’s embarra.s.sing matters. The poisoning incident of Country F’s President, the anger of the Imperial Concubine of Country F, mixing something in the spices of the International Fragrance Compet.i.tion, as well as her love affair with the President of the International Fragrance Alliance, and so on.

Although no one here wanted to know these things, Feng Jianing had been too ‘famous’ recently, so these people had no choice but to know her. Until now, the words “Feng Jianing” still represented humiliation. It was even treated as a curse. Regardless of whether it was the upper circle of society or the commoners below, everyone despised her and were unwilling to treat her as a citizen of Xia country. And her insults to Feng Qing just now instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of the surrounding guests. They criticized her without hiding it.
“Good scolding! I’ve long disliked this Feng Jianing. It’s really like what was exposed on the Internet. Not only does this woman look so-so, but her thoughts are also dirty.”
“Hmph, as expected of the daughter of the Feng family. As expected, a small family can’t teach anything good. Her words pulled down the level of the entire banquet. Where are the security guards? Hurry up and throw her out, in case she hurts our eyes here.”
“She’s unpresentable. A person of such character actually has the cheek to attend such a high-end banquet here. From her words and actions just now, the embarra.s.sing things she did in Country F should be true. It’s too disgusting!”
“Bah! Feng Jianing, why don’t you look in the mirror and see who you are? How dare you think of Madam Xie with such dirty thoughts? You even dare to defame Madam Xie out of thin air. I think only you are so unbearable here.”
“As expected of the shame of Xia country. As a woman, I feel embarra.s.sed for you. Madam Xie is right. Do you really think all the women in the world are like you who would go to all lengths to get what they want? A mere t.i.tle of the champion of the Fragrance Compet.i.tion can make you willingly sleep with an old man?”
Listening to the sharp words of the guests from the wealthy families, Feng Jianing couldn’t take it anymore no matter how thick her skin was. Her face alternated between green and white. She could still hear the disdain and disgust towards her in the guests’ words, but what made her feel the most uncomfortable was the t.i.tle of ‘Madam Xie’ that everyone was talking about. She couldn’t understand. Feng Qing was only married to a member of the Xie family’s collateral family. Did these people have to flatter her so much? All of them were anxious to flatter Feng Qing. These people were from the top wealthy families in the Capital after all. Could it be that a mere collateral family of the Xie family could scare them all? Aren’t they too temperless?
Feng Jianing looked around without a trace and realized that the entire banquet hall was filled with the wealthy families of the Capital that she had rarely seen before. They were also the wealthy families that the Feng family couldn’t curry favor with even if they wanted to in the past. This was because in the eyes of these people, be it the Feng family or her, they were both unranked beings. Therefore, they wouldn’t lower their status to interact with them at all. However, in Feng Jianing’s opinion, this would quickly become the past. Before long, even if these wealthy families knelt and begged her, she wouldn’t take another look. At that time, she would scold these people who looked down on her.
Feng Qing smiled and shifted her gaze to Xian Cheng. “Mr. Xian, it’s getting late. The banquet is about to start. It’s time for you to make a choice. Do you plan to stick to your original choice or change your original thoughts?”
