Chapter 133: Nouveau Riche

Seeing that Shen Hanxing was very polite, the noblewomen started asking more questions. All of a sudden, the topic of conversation revolved around Shen Hanxing while Ji Mei was being ignored. Ji Mei felt unhappy, she couldn’t help but say in a sarcastic tone, “Hanxing, you came back from abroad. I remember that there are no farms in the slums abroad, right? Then what about the flowers and plants... could it be that you opened your own vegetable garden and planted flowers and plants?”

After saying that, she seemed to realize that what she said was not quite right, “Oh, I’m sorry, Hanxing. I have never stayed in the slums abroad. I don’t know how t’s different from ours, so I just casually said that.”

“I don’t mind.” Shen Hanxing smiled slightly. “Auntie, it’s not your fault that you are ignorant. You did not receive much education when you are young. However, it’s better for you to speak less when you go out. Otherwise, if you say something stupid, you will be laughed at by others.”

Shen Hanxing also knew how to being sarcastic.

Ji Mei was a little angry. She put on a fake smile and said, “Is that so? There’s nothing to laugh at, right? I genuinely don’t know anything about the slums abroad.”

“We’re all family. Would I lie to you?” Shen Hanxing smiled, there was disdain in her eyes. “Those orchid experts are highly sought after. If they hear you say that they’re farmers, they will not be happy about it. Moreover, one’s background doesn’t mean anything sometimes. Being born with a poor background doesn’t mean that you can’t learn more extensive knowledge.”

After a pause, Shen Hanxing added, “Although I’m born with an ordinary background, I never feel that I’m inferior to others. Because here...” She pointed at her own head. “It’s all about wealth.”

Ji Mei was choked by Shen Hanxing’s words. She wanted to retort, but everything Shen Hanxing did when she married into the Ji family proved that her words were true. She was incredibly smart! How could she retort?!

When a person was confident and became the center of attention, others would unconsciously follow the crowd and blindly worship that person. The other noblewomen were afraid that if they said anything wrong, it would show that they were ignorant. They responded to Shen Hanxing’s words one after another. Their actions made Ji Mei even angrier.

Ever since Ji Mei started hosting this afternoon investment tea party, she had always been chased by the noblewomen. When had she ever been treated so coldly? After a long while, she finally calmed down and forced a smile. “Everyone, stop standing here and talking. Quickly go in and sit down.”

“Is this the place?” At this moment, a familiar voice came from the door. The person who came did not pay attention to the soft voice of the noblewomen. As she muttered, she walked quickly in her high heels. “This place is too hard to find. There are so many turns, and my head is dizzy now.”

Shen Hanxing turned around and smiled. Liu Che’s mother held the invitation card and looked at it. She happened to see Shen Hanxing’s figure. She raised her voice and shouted, “Miss Shen, you’re here too. This is great!”

Liu Che’s mother was exceptionally straightforward. She did not care that the host of the tea party was right beside her. She went forward to talk to Shen Hanxing, “I received this invitation saying that it was an investment meeting or something. I thought it was a scam. If it wasn’t for the boredom of staying at home, I wouldn’t have come to join in on the fun. Now that I see you here too, I feel at ease.”

Liu Che’s mother’s eyes were filled with admiration. She smiled and said, “Following Miss Shen is always the right thing to do.”

Ji Mei’s expression darkened. After a long while, she reluctantly said, “Mrs. Liu, you must be joking. We are all investors. We will invest in some good projects. We’re not frauds.”

The other noblewomen were not happy with Liu Che’s mother. Many of them had already made investment.

“That’s right. No one is holding their heads and asking you to fork out money. You can’t call us liar just because you know nothing. How annoying.”

“Which family’s madam is this? Why haven’t I seen her before?”

“Seriously, how can anyone come here now? Ji Mei was kind enough to make everyone rich, but some people just don’t appreciate it.”

They were angry at Liu Che’s mother’s words, and their attitude toward Shen Hanxing also turned cold. Although they were curious about Shen Hanxing, it didn’t mean that they would take Shen Hanxing’s background seriously. Now that they saw that Shen Hanxing was familiar with Liu Che’s mother, they were even more angry. Their nostrils were pointing up, and their eyes were almost rolling up to the sky.

Liu Che’s family was considered a latecomer. In the eyes of these upper-class people, they were just a lucky nouveau riche. Liu Che family had money but no background. These noblewomen did not like Liu Che at all.
