Chapter 391: Chapter 391

In an instant, it seemed as if the entire crowd could hear the furious grinding of Bai Qifan’s molars.

Bai Qifan’s roar shook the whole venue instantly.

Shen Jian妮 shuddered, and once again ducked behind He Qimo, unable to resist shaking her head as she said, "Why are you getting angry now? Are you going to act like your cousin, going back on your word? Behaving isn’t right. Love your country, observe the law, practice good manners and integrity, be united and friendly, be humble and self-reliant, be dedicated and contribute. These are the basic moral guidelines for our citizens, especially integrity and friendliness, which are core socialist values proposed by the 18th National Congress. Your father was, after all, a long-standing party member, an outstanding member of the proletariat revolution in our country. You can’t just ignore the work he did; he’d be upset to know about this."

As she finished speaking, the entire venue seemed to turn to stone.

Bai Qifan turned his body, feeling an almost irresistible urge to hit someone.

He Qimo twitched his lips and glanced down sideways at Shen Jian妮, "Where did you hear all that?"

"From acting in a TV series, it was in the script. I just acted in a government-themed film this past half-year, don’t you remember?"

In an instant, the entire venue collectively trembled their lips as if bitten by leeches.

Sweating, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The assembled bosses all gave their wives and female companions a second warning glance, ’Never provoke Mr. He’s new wife! Absolutely do not provoke her; her knowledge is as vast as the ocean. Ensure you educate the women at home about her. From now on, Mr. He’s new wife is the foremost socialite intellectual. Those studying abroad or returning with doctorates should never show off in front of her. Take this as a lesson, a reminder, a constant warning!’

The wives and female companions stared back at their respective bosses with equally firm looks, ’The same goes for you. This woman’s verbal attacks spare neither gender, her sharp tongue knows no bounds. In the business world, be cautious, don’t act on a foolhardy impulse, preserve your dignity to remain a famous person in the circle and gain lifelong success.’

The entire audience was trembling.

Bai Qifan, beyond angry, was shaking like a sieve, "You, you..."

Bai Qifan was at a loss for words. Seeing this scene unfold, Zhou Xiao realized that when it comes to verbal sparring, there was no defeating Shen Jian妮. She pursed her lips and tugged even harder on Bai Qifan, "Cousin, let’s go."

Bai Qifan was angry, but he couldn’t say anything, and looking around the venue, felt that another defeat would be even more humiliating.

With lips pressed coldly, he emitted an aura of chilliness as he followed Zhou Xiao up the steps.

Such a "big man who can bend and stretch" attitude left Shen Jian妮 deeply impressed.

So, taking advantage of Bai Qifan and Zhou Xiao’s quick departure, she wasn’t willing to give up and chased after them, "Hey, Mr. Bai, you still haven’t answered me. You said that as long as I told the truth, you’d do PR for me and make me more famous than before. Do your words count or not?"

Shen Jian妮: "I am telling the truth, every word is true, more real than the Malan flower on Malan Mountain. Your sister can testify to this. She and I were indeed rivals, both competing for He Qimo’s affection."

Bai Qifan, Zhou Xiao: "..."

Shen Jian妮: "Mr. Bai, silence isn’t gold; silence might be Alzheimer’s. You need to keep your brain active and keep talking!"

In an instant, the only response to Shen Jian妮 was the thick thud of the ornately carved solid wood doors of the banquet hall slamming shut.

Shen Jian妮 put her hands on her hips, turned back speechlessly, "Tsk, petty, not honest, really not decent."

In an instant, the whole audience collectively twitched their lips.

Yu Yuanshen watched this farce unfold, furrowing his brow without saying a word.

But seeing Shen Jian妮 stand beside He Qimo, not knowing what they whispered to each other, He Qimo suddenly smiled and turned his face away speechlessly. For some reason, Yu Yuanshen seemed to sense something different.

Almost as if he was seeing Liang Yichao with his own sister. Newest update provıded by novel fire.net

Recalling the times when Liang Yichao used poetry to woo her, Yu Yuanshen couldn’t help but feel that Liang Yichao and Shen Jian妮 shared some similarities at times. He furrowed his brows.

Could it be that his sister actually liked Liang Yichao and was attracted to him because Liang Yichao was also... "a bit silly"?

Once Bai Qifan and Zhou Xiao left completely, the commotion finally began to wind down.

However, as the event came to an end and everything was supposed to return to order,

the entire audience realized that throughout the process, Feng Chengjin had remained silent.

During the commotion earlier, everyone assumed Feng Chengjin was maintaining a dignified silence due to his pedigree, as it wouldn’t be fitting for someone from a noble background to argue with a woman, so his aloofness and silence were understandable.
