Chapter 234: Digging a Pit

Mrs. Chen?
Shi Man inexplicably thought of someone and asked calmly, “Who is Chen Min to you?”
“She’s my daughter.” Mrs. Chen looked her up and down. “Why? Do you know my daughter?”
“Not very close.” There was a trace of a smile in Shi Man’s eyes. She was wondering why the silly look on Mrs. Chen’s face was so familiar. It turned out to be Chen Min’s mother, who deliberately stirred up trouble at Lu Xiang’s birthday party and was miserably slapped in the face.
It seemed that stupidity really came from the same lineage.
“My daughter is very famous, right? Look, all the pheasants know my Minmin!” Mrs. Chen crossed her arms smugly, her eyes filled with arrogance.
No, she was really too stupid. She couldn’t bear to watch.
Shi Man looked away indifferently and looked at a girl in white in the corner of the changing room expressionlessly.
The girl didn’t seem to expect her to notice her at this moment. She nodded at her with a faint smile as a silent greeting.
Shi Man raised her eyebrows slightly. She felt that this girl was familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen her before.
When Mrs. Zhuo heard this, she hurriedly supported her and said, “That’s right, that’s right. Minmin is really capable. I heard that she even attended Mrs. Yi’s birthday banquet some time ago. Aiyo, she must have gained face in front of Mrs. Yi again!”
“Our Minmin is likable everywhere.” At the mention of the birthday banquet, Mrs. Chen’s expression changed slightly and she looked away unnaturally.
Shi Man happened to catch her guilty expression, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
Mrs. Chen clearly didn’t want anyone to mention that birthday banquet. After a few perfunctory words, she changed the topic back to Shi Man. “You called me Auntie just now. I can forgive you on account of your young age. As long as you humble yourself and apologize to me sincerely, I’ll allow you to attend the same banquet as me.”
“Why should I get your permission?” Shi Man smiled instead of being angry, waiting calmly for Mrs. Chen to dig a pit for herself.
Only if the pit was dug big enough would she be buried deep enough later.
This time, without waiting for Mrs. Chen to speak, Mrs. Zhuo took the initiative to explain to her. “Our Mrs. Chen is the best friend of Mrs. Lin, the organizer of the banquet. If you offend Mrs. Chen, she can totally get the security officers to chase you away later. Mrs. Lin won’t care about such trivial matters. Mrs. Chen will make the decision herself!”
“If she’s the organizer’s friend, then she’s not the organizer herself?” Shi Man ignored her words and retorted with a smile.
Mrs. Zhuo wanted to take this opportunity to make Mrs. Chen happy so that she could introduce herself to Mrs. Lin. Her family’s business still needed to rely on the Lin family. There would not be any harm in building a good relationship.
However, who knew that this young girl in front of her was actually as difficult to deal with as the real piece of work? She could retort with just a word. It was unknown if she really had a background or if she was fearless.
Seeing her attitude, Mrs. Chen knew that there was no need to discuss this matter anymore. If she didn’t show some courage now, who would prioritize her when news spread in the future?
She sneered, and a trace of viciousness flashed across her eyes. “Little girl, you asked for this. Do you really think the man you found can protect you and do whatever you want? Let me tell you, don’t be too naive. The people invited to this banquet today are either rich or noble. Their relationships are complicated. Do you think he will offend my family and the Lin family for you?”
Mrs. Chen narrowed her eyes calmly, waiting to see Shi Man panic.
Unfortunately, Shi Man was destined to disappoint her. Not only the Shi family, but even Yi Zheng was not someone anyone in this changing room could afford to offend.
She retracted her smile expressionlessly and said indifferently, “I insist on offending you. What can you do?”
“Then you’re refusing a toast and drinking a forfeit!” Mrs. Chen took out her phone from her limited edition bag and called the secretary in charge of this banquet. She asked her to immediately bring people to the changing room and claim that a woman was causing trouble in the room.
Secretary Song’s expression darkened when she received the call. This was the first time she had heard that someone dared to cause trouble in the Lin family’s territory.
It had to be known that in G City, other than the Shi family and the Yi family, the Lin family was the most established. Shen Xian had something on at the last minute and could not leave this evening, so it was impossible for the person to be Shen Xian. There was no other woman in the Shi family and the Yi family that the people here did not know.
Since this matter had nothing to do with these two families, the Lin family naturally wouldn’t be polite to the troublemaker. Secretary Song specially brought a few more security officers and the mighty team surged into the only corridor leading to the changing room.
On the way, Secretary Song’s sharp eyes noticed Yi Zheng, who was sitting on the sofa and looking at his watch frequently. He hurriedly went over to greet him. “President Yi, why are you here alone? Our President Lin has long wanted to catch up with you.”
“I’m waiting for someone,” Yi Zheng said concisely. He glanced in the direction of the changing room worriedly and said calmly, “It’s not convenient for me to go in. Help me see what’s going on inside..”
