Chapter 1304: Chapter 1374: The Internal Strife Begins
During this period, Qin Cuifen learned quite a bit of English and was able to use everyday conversational language fluently.
The man in the tuxedo was named Joseph Buck, around forty years old, with the deep-set features and tall stature typical of western men. He was a wealthy businessman that Qin Cuifen recently hooked up with, who owned an art shop in the city.
The main supplier was the Feng Family.
"Don’t be afraid!" Joseph held Qin Cuifen in his arms.
This action caused a gasp from the surroundings, especially from the daughters of the Feng Family, who were gloating. He was a notorious playboy, and getting involved with Joseph was like delivering herself to the doorstep willingly.
The Feng Family’s face was completely disgraced by her.
"So she was a fake all along."
"Ah! I told you she couldn’t be the Grand Aunt’s granddaughter."
"Clearly a slut, yet pretending to be a noble lady."
The whispering of the Fengs caused many distinguished guests to discreetly distance themselves from Qin Cuifen. Even Joseph, who held her earlier, now hesitated no longer to push her away.
It was as if she was infected with some plague, and he couldn’t wait to discard the tuxedo he wore on the ground.
"You... Joseph, how can you treat me like this?" Qin Cuifen felt the blood in her body flowing backward, while everyone looked at her as if she was something dirty, making her feel cold all over.
Housekeeper Xing stood in the corner throughout, watching coldly, while Housekeeper Ni stood side by side with him, hands behind his back, asking puzzledly, "What’s your purpose in doing this?"
Housekeeper Xing caught a glimpse of Feng Zhenzhen coming down from the second floor, curved his lips into a cold smile, and said, "Just a reminder for Lady Zhenzhen."
Initially, Feng Zhenzhen did not attend the banquet. How could the proud she possibly attend Qin Cuifen’s birthday party? She came out now because she heard about a joke and naturally wanted to join in the fun.
Dressed in a floor-length gown, she looked noble like a princess. As she walked halfway down the stairs, she couldn’t help but applaud. The crisp clapping instantly drew the attention of countless people.
"It’s Lady Zhenzhen."
"Oh my gosh! So beautiful!"
Feng Zhenzhen, as the heir of the Feng Family, had long been famous in high society, known by many, and was the only oriental face able to make inroads into the white circles.
"Housekeeper Ni, why haven’t you thrown out such a person yet?" Feng Zhenzhen ordered leisurely.
Chief Ni came out from the corner, bowed, and said, "Yes!" After that, he gestured to the bodyguard, and soon a tall bodyguard dragged Julian out as if he were a dead dog.
Qin Cuifen stood in the hall, angrily staring at Feng Zhenzhen on the stairs, the hatred in her eyes like something dipped in poison. It must be her, definitely her doing, wanting to deliberately see her embarrassment.
Ever since she came to the Feng Family, Feng Zhenzhen was the only one who never got along with her, probably opposing her.
Feng Zhenzhen made a provocative expression towards Qin Cuifen and then said elegantly, "Apologies, everyone, for showing you such a joke. This year is our family’s poor hospitality, having your spirits dampened because of some trivial person and matter."
In Feng Zhenzhen’s words, Qin Cuifen evidently fell to the level of a trivial person and matter.
"No worries, no worries."
"Hmph!" Qin Cuifen couldn’t stay any longer; she put on a weak, innocent look and dashed back to her room.
Feng Zhenzhen looked at her back and showed a faint cold smile in her eyes.
Housekeeper Xing stood in the corner the whole time without speaking, taking in everything, and then shook his head. Lady Zhenzhen still lacks experience, watching the bargaining chips walk away like this.
This contest for power, Julian is an indispensable pawn.
