Everyone looked at the two of them in surprise.
After they entered, Tang Li had been wearing Qi Yihanâs jacket, so no one saw what her dress was like. Some unmarried women couldnât help but make wild guesses.
âCould it be that she went out to mess last night and had some love bites on her neck, so Fourth Master couldnât bear to watch it and gave her his coat?â
âWhat right does she have to wear Fourth Masterâs coat? A promiscuous woman is not worthy of him!â
âI wish someone could go up and give a slap.â
â¦
Tang Li and the other women of the Qi family were in charge of entertaining the female guests tonight.
At this time, the banquet hadnât begun because the people from KL Group werenât here yet. The Qi familyâs women took the ladies to the lounge and sat down to chat.
Ever since Tang Li married Qi Yihan, she had not attended any banquets with him. Furthermore, there were rumors that the two of them were not on good terms. Some time ago, the upper-class circle found out that Tang Li had a gigolo. That was why at this moment, the attention was all directed towards Tang Li.
âFourth Madam, I didnât see you at banquets before. What brought you here tonight?â
The first to speak was a young woman in a bright blue high-end dress. The woman was good-looking and had a good figure. She looked very confident.
Tang Li glanced at her and adjusted the suit on her shoulder. She said composedly, âPreviously, I didnât know that so many people were coveting my husband. Now that I know, Iâm here to see who dares to covet him in front of me.â
The lounge fell into a strange silence because of what she said.
Everyone looked at her strangely.
The women from the Qi familyâs were vigilant, afraid that Tang Li would offend all the ladies.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Tang Li asked in confusion, âWhy isnât anyone talking?â
âTang Li, arenât you worried that people will make wild guesses if you keep wearing that coat?â Finally, a woman could not help but ask the question that everyone wanted to ask.
Tang Li smiled and replied mockingly, âWhy should I be worried? This is my husbandâs jacket. He asks me to wear it because heâs worried that I might be cold. Is there anything wrong with it?â
âNo one is wearing a coat here. Arenât you being a little disrespectful to us by having a coat on?â
âReally?â Tang Li looked at everyone with confusion.
A middle-aged wife said, âFourth Madam probably doesnât know the manners because she hasnât been to such banquets before. But you can learn, canât you? Fourth Madam.â
Tang Li was by no means a pushover. She smiled at the middle-aged wife and asked, âManners? I donât see how wearing my husbandâs jacket is bad manners.â
The middle-aged wife stared at Tang Li and thought to herself, âYouâre pretty much just my daughterâs age. How dare you talk back to me like that.â
âIt is an unwritten rule. Youâve never attended a banquet like this before, but as a lady of the upper-class society, havenât the Tang family taught you?â
âMadam.â Tang Li stopped smiling and a chilling aura suddenly exuded from her body. She asked, âYou are at least twice my age, arenât you?â
âIâm 45 years old this year.â The middle-aged wife raised her head slightly, looking like an elder.
âIâm only 23 years old,â Tang Li said. âBut⦠does age mean anything? If you go out, people will call you Madam. If I go out, people will call me Fourth Madam. My husband is much more capable than your husband.â
Hearing that, the middle-aged wife was furious.
Tang Li acted as if she did not see her facial expression and continued, âEspecially since this is the Qi familyâs celebration banquet. In this banquet, I am the hostess and you are the guest. Everyone says that guests should make do with what the host has. Why are you pointing your fingers at me then?â
âYouâ¦â
âShh⦠donât be mad. You canât possibly want to start a quarrel with me on such an occasion, can you?â
Tang Liâs tone was light. It seemed like she was not going to argue with her but was trying to reason with her.
It was her tone and attitude that made the middle-aged wife so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
However, this was indeed the Qi familyâs celebration banquet, so she wasnât supposed to lose her temper.
The others looked at the two of them in silence. None of them had interacted with Tang Li before, so they did not know what kind of things she would do.
Tang Li continued, âWe are all ladies and madams of upper-class society. Canât we just get along nicely? Why must you speak so sarcastically? Besides, weâre not family. If you donât like me, you can shut up. If you like me, you can chat with me. If you insist on talking to me about manners, then you are being a Debbie downer on purpose.â
As Tang Li spoke, she purposely put on an aggrieved expression.
The middle-aged woman felt choked.
The words âgreen teaâ suddenly popped up in the minds of the others.
They were certain that this Tang Li was definitely a green tea.
However, as soon as they thought Tang Li was a green tea, Tang Li suddenly turned serious, looking like a mysterious master.
âEveryone, I know how to read fortunes. Since you guys donât know what to say, why donât I read your fortunes instead? Iâm a very good fortune-teller. â
Finally, First Madam couldnât put up with her anymore. She gritted her teeth and shout, âTang Li, youâ¦â
âFirst Sister-in-law, what do you want to say?â Tang Li suddenly stared into First Madamâs eyes, her gaze sharp. First Madam shuddered and couldnât bring herself to say anything.
The others were also shocked.
The Qi familyâs First Madam was known to be a ruthless person, so why would she be afraid of Tang Li?
At that moment, Tang Li smiled at everyone and said, âLetâs continue what we were talking about just now. How about this, Iâll read your fortune first. â
She was talking to the middle-aged wife who was bickering with her. âWhatâs bothering you the most recently is your sonâs personal problem. Your son suddenly fell in love with a woman and insisted on marrying her. If you donât agree to him being with that woman, heâll kick up a fuss with you, right?â
What Tang Li said was obviously right on the point. The middle-aged wife got serious instantly. Itâs something everyone knows, you donât have to repeat it here.â
âDonât worry, Iâm not finished yet.â Tang Li looked mysterious. âThe most dramatic thing is that that woman looks a lot like your love rival when you were young. You sent someone to investigate her in private, and it turned out that she is actually your love rivalâs daughter.â
Judging from the middle-aged wifeâs expression, everyone could tell that Tang Li had it right.
The ladies suddenly got thrilled. No matter what social class people were from, a love for gossip was something we had in common.
Tang Li looked at the middle-aged woman and asked with a smile, âIâve also read something more interesting. Do you want me to share it with everyone here?â
The middle-aged wifeâs heart skipped a beat and she quickly stopped her. âShut up. Stop talking. â
