This time, as Shen Ning arrived at the entrance, she hadnât even settled in yet.
Suddenly, a flashy woman approached her head-on.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Wu Lili! Shen Ningâs expression immediately darkened.
How could she be here?
She could never forgive a woman who had harmed her son, no matter who she was!
Therefore, she did not go forward to greet her but watched her coldly.
However, Wu Lili did not recognize her.
She cautiously approached with a smiling face and said, âMiss Beautiful Host, Iâm here to attend the banquet. Can you please find me a seat?â
âWhatâs your name?â Shen Ning asked, mocking her deliberately.
âI am the young lady of the Shao family. Iâd like to attend Gu Qiâs perfume tea party. Iâve always loved Gu Qiâs perfume, and Iâll definitely support it in the future,â she said with a sycophantic smile, speaking softly.
Seeing her in this state, Shen Ning felt a pang of heartache. A woman like her, using the Shao familyâs name to step on the high and step on the low, trying to make connections at an event like this to satisfy her vanity, was a disgrace to her grandmother.
âIâm sorry, we didnât invite you,â she refused sternly, hoping to preserve some dignity for the Shao family and remind her that she was not invited to this event. An uninvited person had no right to enter, and even if she managed to sneak in, she would only humiliate herself!
She hoped that she would come to her senses and leave immediately.
But ever since Wu Lili heard that this tea party was hosted by Li Zhenting, she had been determined to come and make herself known, to meet some of the wealthy ladies and socialites in the capital. It would satisfy her vanity.
After all, the people who could host a tea party like this at Li Zhentingâs invitation were undoubtedly top-tier socialites and genuinely wealthy. This was such a great opportunity, and she didnât want to miss it.
âMiss Beauty, Iâm a good friend of Mrs. Shen Mei, the wife of Li Corporationâs Mr. Li. She invited me to attend. I didnât come randomly,â Wu Lili said when Shen Ning refused to let her in.
To her surprise, Shen Ning sneered, âWho is Shen Mei? Iâm sorry, but she was not invited here.â
âYouâ¦â Wu Lili was taken aback. Even Shen Mei couldnât help? Who was this woman? When she carefully looked at her and met Shen Ningâs cold eyes, she hesitated, and her face changed. âYou, youâre Shen Ning.â
Shen Ning coldly replied, âYes, itâs me. Whatâs the problem?â
Wu Lili stared at her up and down for a long time before sneering, âTsk tsk, 1 canât believe youâve completely changed in just a few days. Youâre really good at climbing. I canât lose to you. It seems youâve set your sights on Li Zhenting again. Youâre really shameless. But let me tell you, even if you get close to him, you wonât be able to flaunt yourself in front of me. Let me remind you, Li Zhenting and Shen Mei are getting married soon. Youâre nothing. Be careful that someone takes care of you when the time comes. Pah!â
She spat out these words, then pushed Shen Ning abruptly and walked into the venue arrogantly.
If a destitute and downcast Shen Ning could attend this tea party, why couldnât she? Shen Ning was pushed back a few steps and almost fell.
âMs. Shen, are you alright?â Secretary Li rushed over in time, holding Shen Ning and frowning at Wu Lili. âWho is this woman? She has no manners. Did we really invite someone like her?â
Shen Ning looked at her and said coldly, âSheâs just an audacious person.â
âShall I have security throw her out? If she dares to cause trouble at an event like this, we donât want her,â Secretary Li said indignantly, about to call security.
âForget it. No need,â Shen Ning held her back with a shake of her head. @@novelbin@@
Tonightâs main task was product promotion. A woman like Wu Lili, once she made up her mind to sneak in, would not leave easily. If they used force, she would definitely cause a scene. This event could not afford such disruptions, especially since many media reporters were present tonight.
Secretary Li had to give up.
She watched Wu Lili swagger in and sneered, âSheâd better behave tonight. Otherwise, 1 wonât spare her.â
This woman obviously had a thick skin. Shen Ning was right. If they forced her out, she would likely create a big fuss.
Tonight, they could not afford to lose!
