395 Who Said That Her Background Isn’t Good?
The Shen Family was here?
Everyone in the banquet hall stopped their activities and turned their heads in unison to look at the entrance. A few moments later, they finally saw a few figures entering from outside.
The people in the lead were two men, Shen Zhong and Shen Chong.
Although their positions in the Shen Corporation had been stripped, their statuses were still innately higher than the others as they were members of the Shen Family.
Shen Jiayi, who was clad in a purple long dress, followed them. She lifted her head up and exuded an aura of arrogance and pride. She even had a diamond tiara on her head.
When visiting others as guests, people would act low-profile the majority of the time. However, her attitude made it appear as though she was the female owner of this place.
Chu Cimo was stunned after he saw them. “Why are you guys here?”
He remembered that he didn’t issue any invitation to them for the Chu Family’s banquet.
Shen Zhong and Shen Chong both laughed. “Why? Are you guys not going to welcome us? Our Shen Family takes such good care of your Chu Family in business. Is your big brother going to face us with such an attitude?”
Chu Cimo glanced at the surroundings and suddenly waved at the butler. The butler immediately hurried over.
“How did they enter with no invitation?”
Logically speaking, it was difficult for anyone to enter if they didn’t have an invitation today.
At the very least, the butler should go look for Chu Cichen and check the situation.
The butler outside was a male and was responsible primarily for doing tasks for Chu Cichen. After hearing this, he immediately replied, “They did enter with the invitation.”
Chu Cimo. “?”
He frowned. The guests invited today were all according to Chu Cichen’s will. Could it be that his big brother decided to invite them?
But no matter what, the Shen Family was an influential family in the capital, and it was wrong to keep them waiting outside. Hence, Chu Cimo immediately smiled and spoke to the three of them, “Welcome!”
He stepped aside and invited the three to enter.
Shen Ruojing was below and seated on a sofa. Due to Lada damaging her reputation, no one at this banquet came to look for her.
However, she was very happy being able to idle.
Just as she lowered her head to look at her phone, the area before her dimmed. She then noticed Shen Jiayi standing before her.
She lifted her chin and swept her gaze across Shen Ruojing’s dress.
The woman was sitting there lazily, and her dress revealed her fantastic figure. In addition to her icy demeanor and straight black shoulder-length hair, she was like a noble among cats. Those who looked at her would sigh in admiration as she was shockingly beautiful.
Shen Jiayi narrowed her eyes before coldly speaking, “Miss Shen, for whom are you dressed up so beautifully? Do you want to seduce guys to look at you? You don’t have the bearing of an elegant lady from a noble family at all. No wonder Lada said you are a country bumpkin. However, I don’t think so. Instead, I feel that you exude an aura akin to a prostitute. How can someone like you be worthy enough for Mr. Chu?”
After she said this, a woman behind Shen Jiayi walked out. It was actually the brand manager for Lada. She smiled fawningly. “Miss Shen Jiayi is correct. Back when I saw Madam Shen, I immediately felt that her demeanor was not a match for our brand’s concept. So, the true reason was as per what you summarized. Although Madam Shen looks like an honorable woman, there is a streak of promiscuity in her bones…”
After she said this, all the guests in the surroundings looked over, revealing contemplative looks filled with pity.
The future matriarch of a family was actually evaluated like a whore?
This was simply stark naked humiliation.
Shen Ruojing’s gaze also sank.
Just when she was about to say something, Manager Liu, the brand manager of Yafang, rushed over and directly spoke, “Lada’s manager? Stop speaking blindly! Miss Shen’s demeanor is poles apart from the word ‘promiscuous’! Those who looked at her would be stunned by her beauty, yet they wouldn’t dare to have any blasphemous thoughts in their heads. It is precisely because of her aura!”
After Manager Liu said this, everyone in the surroundings couldn’t help but silently nod in agreement.
Honestly speaking, Shen Ruojing today was stunning.
Her appearance made it so that many men, even women who were here, couldn’t help but spare her a few glances. After all, she was too beautiful and was bound to attract attention.
Lada’s manager laughed after hearing this. “Manager Liu, you cannot hope for everyone’s aesthetic senses to be the same as you. However, you should really go and interact more with people in the fashion industry. For those of us in the branded clothing business, it would be problematic if there’s a problem with your aesthetic senses…Oh, my apologies. I forgot that Yafang has been removed from the fashion circle…”
After saying that, she touched her mouth. “Ai, I originally felt it was a pity as Yafang’s qipaos are truly in a class of their own. But today, I finally understood what was the reason. So, your judgment is problematic…”
Manager Liu was badly enraged. “Whose judgment is the problematic one? Everyone has eyes and a yardstick in their hearts. Don’t assume Lada can bully us just because you are a big brand!”
Lada’s manager shrugged. “I’ve asked Lada’s clothing designer, Dai Si, for his opinion. His conclusion was the same as mine. Can it be that Manager Liu’s aesthetic senses are even better than Lada’s? However, you are correct. Everyone has a yardstick in their hearts, so why don’t you ask everyone if Madam Shen’s demeanor is truly fashionable?”
Dai Si was a leading character in today’s fashion circle and was also the lead designer for Lada.
Because of this, his words were akin to an imperial edict in the fashion industry.
Now that Lada’s brand manager had said his name, who else in the surroundings would dare to say that Dai Si’s aesthetic senses were problematic?
Everyone was part of the wealthy circle here and had their own judgment. As for something like ‘fashion’, it was too ethereal. Even if everyone felt that Shen Ruojing’s dress was nice, no one dared to say anything as they were afraid of being labeled as someone who didn’t know ‘fashion’.
Hence, not a single person dared to speak.
Seeing this, Lada’s brand manager laughed arrogantly. “Do you see it? Everyone agrees with my words!”
Manager Liu was infuriated. “Lada’s brand manager, you came as a guest, yet you directly insulted the host. Is this how cultured you people from Lada are?”
Lada’s manager smiled. “I apologize, people from the fashion industry are very blunt when talking. We wouldn’t think too much.”
Manager Liu frowned and suddenly hesitated. “Wrong, you should not have received the Chu Family’s invitation. How did you enter?”
As the words of her voice rang out, Shen Jiayi, who was at the side, laughed. “She is a consultant responsible for my attire today. I brought her in.”
When attending banquets, it was very normal to bring servants.
Now, Shen Jiayi intentionally looked at Shen Ruojing to disgust her. “I also heard there’s a misunderstanding between Madam Shen and her, so I wanted to try and mediate. My attire consultant is someone very blunt with her words. You wouldn’t take her comments to heart, right? After all, it is for your own good that she pointed out your flaws to you.”
Lada’s manager continued, “Madam Shen, something like one’s demeanor is innately gained upon birth, but it can also be nurtured with effort. Since your background isn’t good and you came from a small place, it is very normal to have such flaws. As long as you stay in the capital long enough, you will be influenced sooner or later, and your demeanor will improve…”
As the sound of her voice faded, an aged voice suddenly rang out from the entrance. “Who said that her background isn’t good? I think you must be blind!”
