CEO Vengeful Wife

Chapter 222: One thing you can't deny

"Ms. Ji, I am looking forward to your appearance at the opening ceremony event next week." Jing Lihua said in polite, professional words.

The middle-aged man liked the demeanor of the woman. He had heard a lot about her. Today, her impeccable appearance did justice to her good reputation. "Such a grand event. How can I miss out on that day?" He was a government official on an important post. To have him invited to the opening ceremony, Jing Lihua's purpose was to give better media coverage to the event. And hence, boost the popularity of the mall.

From a business point of view, it was very important.

While Jing Lihua conversed politely with the official, at her back two certain people were fuming in anger. They were none other than Lang Lan and He Zhouyan.

They had assumed that since Jing Lihua didn't have an escort, they would have leverage on her. They could use this weakness to relieve the resentment in their hearts. 

However, how could they have guessed their well thought out insults would not even do as much as wipe the small, confident smile from her face?

How could they have guessed that the woman had no interest in such affairs? 

After coming at the party, she didn't even bat an eye on those socialites; those snarky women who had nothing better to do than engage in shallow conversations of showing off and demeaning each other.

Instead, she went straight to the business people and socialized with those who would help her advance in her career.

Even though, she didn't say a word. Her actions made one thing obvious. She was far better than all those who had nothing to do than use cheap insults to satisfy their self-worth.

At this, Lang Lan and He Zhouyan felt like monkies dancing and screaming at a person who would not even flinch at their noise. That feeling was...truly disgusting!

It was at this instant, that someone noticed. 

"Look. Jing Lihua and Jing Tian are wearing the same type of dress!" 

At that person's words, people immediately compared those two.

True, both of them were wearing white cocktail dresses. 

However, while Jing Tian's dress was flamboyant and fairly revealing. While Jing Lihua's dress was conservative and reasonably decent accentuating her overall decent image.

When He Zhouyan observed this, she hid the glee in her heart. With a self satisfied expression, she approached the group of women. "My Tian'er dress for today's event had especially been ordered by Young Ma

ster Gu from an international reputable brand." Her tone contained a fair amount of pride. She felt no shame on the fact that Jing Tian's accessories were taken care of by her fiance. Instead, she used this example as a means to show off how much Gu Ting spoiled Jing Tian.

True, people's priorities were different. If it had been Jing Lihua, she would never have taken pride in showing off to others what her fiance had bought for her. Instead, she would have strived to be able to stand on the equal footing as her other half.

"But, Madam He, how came Jing Lihua is wearing the same type of dress. Could it be that both of the sisters had decided to match their dresses for this specific day?" One of the guests could not help but ask.

He Zhouyan was waiting for someone to ask this question. With a twist of her expressions, she said. "Tian'er dress was specifically gifted by Young Master Gu from an international brand. How could Jing Lihua have a chance to buy the dress from there? When some people look too good, other people are bound to try all means to copy them. Let's not talk about this."

He Zhouyan words surprised everyone. She appeared to be getting bolder in her underhand comments to debase Jing Lihua. Of course, her confidence came from Lang Lan. 

No matter what, Jing Lihua still held an important position. No one could openly smear her name. Thus He Zhouyan was only using devious words to humble Jing Lihua. But after Lang Lan little support, she was no longer scared.

This encouragement was enough to disregard the little bit of fear in her heart and go for Jing Lihu with all her might.

"You are right, Miss He." Lang Lan was not going to leave any chance to badmouth Jing Lihua either. "I know you don't want to talk about it but seriously, this type of people disgust me to the point I want to vomit. Don't they have any shame in them? How could they openly go on copying others? Do they think this makes them look any better? This sort of attitude only invites people revulsion!"

Lang Lan and He Zouyan slandered Jing Lihua to their heart content. However, the recipient of their outrage never at once tried to retaliate. Forget that, Jing Lihua didn't even enter their circle; she did not even look at them and continued to socialize with the people she deemed worthy for her future business expedition!

For those who were trying desperately to provoke Jing Lihua, to experience that level of indifference from her side was truly riling them up. Thus they got bolder and harsher in their insults.

It had reached the point where people around them started to feel irritated. Their constant on

e-sided insults were getting insufferable. 

It was when someone suddenly let out a melodious laugh. "Even if Jing Lihua tried to copy, there is one thing that you can't deny."

At the sudden interruption, people were both delighted and curious. When they looked back, they found a young woman no more than twenty with a petite frame and short hair. She could be regarded as beauty. 

Lang Lan recognized her. "Is it you, Xiao Shen?" She was surprised. Taking the young woman's silence as yes she asked in curiosity. "What is it that we can't deny?"

Xiao Shen smiled. "That Jing Lihua dress suits her way better than Jing Tian to her."
