The whole family overheard her innermost thoughts and went crazy.

Chapter 42 Charity Gala

Shen Tingxiao is her older brother! He and Shen Meng have had a very good relationship since childhood, and he has been expanding the market overseas in recent years.

Now that something like this has happened in China, Shen Meng's scandal is known to almost everyone, but Shen Tingxiao hasn't reacted at all, which means he definitely hasn't received the news.

You know how much he cherishes Shen Meng. If he finds out that Shen Meng has been kicked out of the Shen family, tsk tsk... it'll be another bloodbath...

Shen Wantang's lips curled up slightly; something interesting was about to happen.

I just don't know when I'll be back.

After wandering around for a while, she returned to the Ji family manor. It was time to find a job.

"Tangtang, are you home? Perfect timing!" Li Nanxi walked in carrying a large gift box and placed it on the table.

"Mom, what brings you here?" Shen Wantang sat up from the sofa.

"There's a charity gala at seven tonight, you should go with Mom," Li Nanxi said with a smile. Many of her friends would be at the gala.

She wanted to introduce Shen Wantang to them, since the situation was special before... but now it's different, and she couldn't wait for everyone to know that she had such an excellent daughter-in-law.

Shen Wantang thought for a moment and since she had nothing else to do at home, she said, "Okay, Mom."

[Go ahead and enjoy lots of melons!]

Yes, it can also increase the "gossip value". It's been so long and neither of the shopping malls has opened. We have no idea what's inside.

Li Nanxi made one phone call, and the makeup artist came to her door to provide services.

Shen Wantang already had a good natural look, so she didn't wear heavy makeup; it was a very light look that suited her perfectly.

The dress was a white fishtail skirt, just right! She looked like an immaculate fairy, and even Li Nanxi was stunned.

"Mom, let's go! It's almost time." Shen Wantang didn't notice anything unusual about her. She checked the time and knew they would arrive just in time.

"Ah good!"

The two of them rushed over; there were many people in the venue.

"Oh! Nanxi, who is this? She's so beautiful!" A woman wearing a flamboyant red miniskirt walked over.

She seems to have a very good relationship with Nanxi!

Nanxi smiled and said, "Yu Xingwan, this is my precious daughter-in-law."

"Ah...it's already like that? It's a pity, my son really can't compare to Yu Shi." Yu Xingwan felt more and more sorry for Shen Wantang, and only hated that her son was not up to par!

Li Nanxi thoughtfully introduced to Shen Wantang, "This is Mom's good friend, Yu Xingwan. You can call her Aunt Yu."

"Hello Aunt Yu, my name is Shen Wantang, you can just call me Tangtang." Shen Wantang gracefully extended her hand to shake hands with her.

Yu Xingwan nodded approvingly: "Tangtang, do you have any other good girlfriends?"

"That's all..." Shen Wantang scratched her head sheepishly.

[Host, Yu Xingwan and your mother have been friends since childhood. Her son has been dating all this time, but his partners haven't been women.]

【What? 】

Shen Wantang froze on the spot, looking at Yu Xingwan with some confusion.

“Let’s go sit over there. My son is over there.”

The three of them walked over together, and just as they sat down, someone called out to them again.

"Nanxi, Xingwan, you two came together!" A woman in a long black dress sat down next to Shen Wantang. "Who is this? I've never seen him before."

“Luo Xia, this is Nanxi’s precious daughter-in-law!” Yu Xingwan blurted out, then glared at her son.

Lu Zhiyan smiled slightly and pretended not to see it.

How can such a handsome man be gay? If Aunt Yu knew, wouldn't she be furious?

"Pfft!" Li Nanxi, who had just taken a sip of tea, couldn't help but spit it out!

She screamed here: What?! What?! Zhiyan is gay?!

"What's wrong with you?" Yu Xingwan looked at her best friend with disdain.

Li Nanxi elegantly wiped her mouth with a tissue: "It's okay, it's too hot."

……

[Host, this Luo Xia is no good.]

【Oh? Tell me about it. 】

[This Luo Xia, her family background isn't as good as your mother's or Aunt Yu's, and she's often jealous of their relationship, constantly making snide remarks about them. At this charity gala, she wanted to use your family background to embarrass your mother.]

[...This is what it means to be caught in the crossfire even when you're lying down.]

[Your parents are at this party too.]

Shen Wantang raised an eyebrow and searched the venue, and sure enough, she spotted the two of them in a corner.

However, I didn't disturb them.

Li Nanxi was still wondering, how did I end up being dragged into this? Was someone trying to bully Tangtang?

“I think Nanxi’s daughter-in-law looks familiar… Isn’t she the Shen family’s daughter who caused such a stir online a while ago?” Luo Xia’s voice rose, and many people around turned around to look at her curiously.

Because most people do know about this, but no one has actually seen the person in person yet!

Li Nanxi frowned, somewhat disliking Luo Xia's words: "Yes, but she is still our Ji family's daughter-in-law, and Tangtang herself is a very good person."

“Aunt Luo Xia, if you were in my situation back then, I’m sure you would be even more radical than me, right?” Shen Wantang looked at her, without the slightest fear in her eyes.

Luo Xia was surprised by the calm and composed demeanor of a younger person: "Yes... how long have you and Yu Shi been married? Why has Nanxi never mentioned it before?"

“It’s been a long time,” Shen Wantang replied calmly.

Luo Xia feigned surprise: "Nanxi, you're really not being fair. You haven't told us about this for so long, why did you suddenly bring it out again?"

Li Nanxi frowned slightly: "Luo Xia, this is our family matter, and besides, I..."

[Seriously, I'm speechless. I should probably tell my mom to avoid contact with Luo Xia from now on! He's too cunning!]

Li Nanxi was initially unsure of Luo Xia's meaning, but after hearing Tangtang's thoughts, she became certain.

She never expected that Luo Xia would have such a competitive spirit, considering Luo Xia as a friend.

Although Yu Xingwan couldn't hear her thoughts, she was clearly displeased by Luo Xia's words: "Luo Xia, what do you mean? You look down on Tangtang?"

"No, no... How could you think of me like that?" Luo Xia hurriedly waved her hands, she was a little flustered, she didn't expect that she hadn't managed to get them today, and she was a little dissatisfied.

[Host, Luo Xia's husband has been getting very close to his secretary lately. Feng Qingqing is still a college graduate who has just entered the workforce. Yang Jun invited her to the party to broaden her horizons.]

Upon hearing this, Shen Wantang's eyes lit up.

A memorable scene of the wife and mistress together!

[Which one is Yang Jun's secretary? Luo Xia is so oblivious, she didn't even notice her husband's strange behavior. Who doesn't like young people! Tsk tsk, is it that one?]

Shen Wantang's mind wasn't on the party at all; her big, round eyes kept darting around.

Finally, the focus shifted to a young woman wearing a white dress who looked somewhat uneasy.

[Yes, host! I didn't expect you to have such a sharp eye for people!]

Youth is wonderful; look at that perfectly executed expression.

Li Nanxi followed her gaze.
