Didn’t they already check? Shen Ruojing’s mother was a small businesswoman, while her father was a small-time actor. Could it be that she still had some kind of hidden background?

Franklin’s lips twitched.

Of course, it was Divine Doctor Jing!

Franklin was so respectful toward Shen Ruojing because other than her being his muse, Shen Ruojing had helped him cure his chronic illness.

Someone like her was the most top-notch existence in the medical world, and she herself was an existence that others admired. What other background would she need?

However, he knew that Shen Ruojing didn’t like to reveal her identity as Divine Doctor Jing and rarely mentioned it to others. Therefore, he merely sneered. “You don’t need to know! Given Goddess’s disposition, even if she was walking on the streets, I’d believe it even if she said that she was Country Y’s princess!”

After saying that, he looked at Chu Cichen. “Mr. Chu, why aren’t you chasing away someone as impolite as her? Are you trying to disgust my muse by keeping her here?”

Chu Cichen raised his brows.

The reason he kept that person here was clear.

He naturally had to keep Lada’s manager present because he wanted her face smacked due to what she had said to the public. Right now, his aim was completed, so Chu Cichen waved his hand and the security guards immediately entered!

They dragged Lada’s manager along and headed out.

Lada’s manager was furious. She put up a struggle and shouted, “Mr. Franklin, you’ve retired. You’re no longer Lada’s designer and have no rights over me. Our Lada will definitely not cooperate with Shen Ruojing!”

Franklin paused slightly and sighed.

He wanted to personally come and explain things, also to give Lada a way out of the situation. However, he hadn’t expected Lada’s manager to have such a narrow perspective, pulling Lada into the abyss!

It was over for Lada to have offended such a big shot.

He let out a silent sigh again and shook his head. Forget it, he had retired and Lada’s future had nothing to do with him anymore. He only needed to follow his muse and continue on with his own works!

–

Outside the door, Lada’s manager was thrown out from the back door, so that the guests coming in from the front door wouldn’t be affected.

She was thrown harshly to the ground.

Lada’s manager spat at Chu Manor’s gate. “Who does the Chu Family think they are? Do they really think they are part of the four great families? Even the four great families can’t interfere in our headquarters! We’re an overseas brand!”

Almost at the same instant as she finished saying these words, her phone suddenly rang.

She picked up the call and the voice of her shop assistant rang out. “Manager, this is bad. The mall’s manager came to inform us that they won’t be renting the shop to us anymore. They’ve thrown out all our stuff and even smashed the shop…”

Lada’s manager was stunned. “Why?”

The shop assistant cried, “The manager said it’s because you offended the owner of the mall!”

Lada had opened a shop in the most reputable mall for luxury products in the capital, but they were being driven out now?

By the mall’s owner?

Lada’s manager was stunned for a moment before she reacted to things. She turned to look abruptly at the Chu Manor and frowned. “The mall actually belongs to the Chu Family?”

She clenched her teeth. “Even so, we don’t have to be afraid. This is all the Chu Family can do to take revenge on us. Our headquarters is based overseas!”

She had just said this when her phone rang again.

Lada’s manager took a look and saw that it was a call from their overseas headquarters.

So, she quickly picked up the call and heard Dai Si speaking in English. It was clear that he was enraged. “My god, who did you offend in China?! Do you know that our headquarters has been chased out by the building’s owner? They say that they won’t rent to us anymore! Moreover, most of our shops across the world have been forced to close down! Our Lada brand will have to say goodbye to luxury malls from now on! You’re Lada’s sinner!”

Lada’s manager. “??”

At this moment, she finally noticed how horrifying the Chu Family was. She gulped and her body trembled uncontrollably.

To be able to accurately deal a blow to Lada overseas… This was definitely not something that could be done by an up-and-coming influential family!

Who… just who did she offend?

–

“What background does she have?”

Everyone was discussing things in the banquet hall.

Franklin’s words earlier caused everyone to start discussing. However, at the same time, the women from distinguished families who had looked down on Shen Ruojing no longer dared to do so anymore.

Some even went to curry up to her. “Miss Shen, your qipao looks really beautiful!”

“That’s right, that’s right! I wanted to say that earlier, but I was worried that Lada would say that I was a bumpkin, so I was holding it in…”

“There’s no need to be scared now. Miss Shen is the muse of the father of the fashion world. Earlier, I was saying that Miss Shen had such a good disposition that Lada was speaking blindly.”

“…”

At the same time, Manager Liu was also surrounded by people.

“Yafang’s manager, I wish to order a qipao. I want the one that Madam Shen is wearing!”

“I like the white one that Second Madam Chu is wearing. I want to order one too…”

“Yafang’s manager, I’m sorry. I paid a deposit a few days ago. Do you think we can continue with that order?”

“…”

Shen Jiayi clenched her fists angrily after seeing Shen Ruojing being basked in the limelight.

She then bit her lips and glared at that group of people before she headed angrily toward the banquet hall.

Right now, there were a lot of guests, and people were gradually taking their seats. The people who headed for the banquet hall were all politely led to their seats.

Shen Jiayi, Shen Zhong, and Shen Chong had just entered the banquet hall when the butler pointed to the seats on the second table and said, “Mr. Shen, Miss Shen, your seats are over there.”

Shen Jiayi’s countenance immediately sank. “Do you know who we are?”

...

The butler immediately wiped the cold sweat off of her forehead.

People from the four great families wouldn’t take seats that weren’t at the main table.

This was unless seniors from their families came along. They’d then take the initiative to move to the second table.

But who from the four great families wouldn’t give a reply to invitations if they were attending a banquet?

It was already strange that these three people would come to attend the banquet today. So how could the Chu Family have made arrangements for their seats in advance?!

Even an additional chair had been added to the main table. As a result, the Chu Family really couldn’t arrange for the three of them to sit there as well!

However, Shen Jiayi had walked up to the main table. She took a look at the nameplates placed there and sneered, picking up Shen Ruojing’s nameplate. “It’s fine if Matriarch Chu and Chu Cichen were to sit together with us at the main table. We from the four great families won’t take it to heart. After all, they are from the host family. But who is she to sit at the main table with us?!”

After saying that, she threw Shen Ruojing’s nameplate on the floor and stepped on it a few times!

She then sat down at Shen Ruojing’s spot without standing on ceremony!

If they were to chase Shen Jiayi away under everyone’s eyes, it’d be not giving the Shen Family face.

Although Shen Zhong, Shen Chong, and Shen Jiayi did not have a good relationship with the Chu Family, the Shen Family had indeed given the Chu Family such great help in terms of business. Furthermore, the three of them were guests, and it would be bad to be neglectful toward them…

...

The butler suddenly felt an immense headache.

When Shen Ruojing, who had just walked over, saw the butler’s expression, her gaze sank and she suddenly smiled. “I’ll sit at the second table.”

“I’ll sit at the second table too! There aren’t enough seats at the main table anyway!” Bai Shanshan echoed quickly.

When the butler heard their words, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

With Shen Ruojing and Bai Shanshan giving up their seats, she could just add another chair to the main table to solve the problem.

Shen Ruojing and Bai Shanshan walked over and sat down at the vacant seats at the second table.

Shen Jiayi sneered and then spoke in a slightly louder voice, “Don’t be too smug! No matter how people speak well of you, it won’t change your background! A wild chicken that has flown up to a branch still can’t be compared to a real phoenix! Just like how things are now, you’ll always be suppressed by me!”

Shen Ruojing gave her an indifferent look and suddenly smiled. “Is that so?”

Shen Jiayi raised her chin slightly. “Of course. Our Shen Family is the number one family in the capital! Moreover, I’m currently the only young miss in the Shen Family!”

“You mean from the branch family, right?” Shen Ruojing purposely hit her where it hurt. “Only Old Master Shen’s biological children would be considered to be from the main branch.”

As expected, Shen Jiayi was enraged. “My granduncle doesn’t have any children, and he treats me as he would his biological granddaughter! I’m considered to be from the main branch!”

She had just finished saying this when a commotion suddenly broke out at the door.

Everyone turned and saw Chu Cichen personally leading Shen Yuansong, Old Master Bai, Matriarch Bai, and the other guests who should be seated at the main table.

Shen Yuansong walked at the foremost, and everyone else had to make way for him, letting him take the lead.

After Shen Jiayi saw that, she said proudly, “Do you see that? My granduncle is so amazing! This is how amazing our Shen Family is! All these people are leading figures in the capital, and only I have the right to dine together at the same table as them. Shen Ruojing, you’ll never be able to compete against me!”

After saying that, she stood up, wanting to greet Old Master Shen.

However, before she could say the words “Granduncle”, she saw Old Master Shen suddenly walking past her and continuing on with a beaming smile on his face…
