Chapter 1662: Earning Small Money Quietly
Shi Li chatted and laughed freely among the ladies. Not only did she not feel out of place, she even seemed to be being surrounded and admired by everyone.
Wen Shiqing looked at him steadily, pursing her lips to hide the jealousy in her eyes.
If this woman hadn't suddenly appeared, she would have been the legitimate young mistress of the Liu family. And this woman was clearly a divorced wife, why did she have the nerve to show up here?
Wen Shiqing secretly clenched her fists and almost forgot what Liu Qihan said before she left. She came to represent the Liu family and build good relationships with the ladies. Now she only saw Shi Li in her eyes.
The ladies were talking when they heard a soft and weak voice with a hint of surprise coming from behind.
"Sister, why are you here?"
The conversation was interrupted, and everyone frowned and looked at Wen Shiqing, the uninvited guest.
Sensing the displeasure in the eyes around her, Wen Shiqing felt very uncomfortable and stared at Shi Li with a forced smile.
Shi Li calmly put down the teacup in her hand and nodded to her.
"Madam Liu, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to call me sister. Please call me Madam Shi."
For some things, as long as you don’t feel embarrassed, what others say or think is not that important.
Although this era is not as enlightened as the modern era, it is not so feudal that women should die if they do something reasonable.
Shi Li was calm and composed, so those people who had bad intentions before naturally had no place to exert their strength.
"Yes... I'm just surprised to see you here... Madam Shi, I thought you should go back to Suzhou."
Wen Shiqing looked like a wronged young wife, which might be pleasing to Liu Qihan, but the ladies from various families around her did not buy it and showed disgusted expressions.
Shi Li didn't want to argue with Wen Shiqing, nor did she want to talk to her any more. She just smiled and continued talking to the ladies around her.
When the others saw that she didn't respond, they lost interest and continued with what they were saying.
Wen Shiqing walked over and made herself look miserable. She didn't even find anyone who paid attention to her. She stood there awkwardly, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
For this banquet, the female members of the family stayed here, while the masters of each family who came to congratulate were kept in the front yard and entertained by Stanley Ho.
Just now, Liang Wan was coaxed by the maid to Madam He's side, and heard her say that Yu Mo had arrived.
Mrs. He knew what she was thinking and didn't want her to make a fuss here, so she asked the maid to take her to the front to take a look quietly.
There was a maid following her all the time, so Liang Wan just looked at him from a distance. After watching him, she became even more interested in Yu Mo.
She reluctantly returned to the backyard, just in time to see Wen Shiqing standing alone with no one paying attention to her. She curiously asked the maid about her identity.
After knowing that she was the woman who defeated Shi Li, he immediately perked up and took the initiative to walk over to greet her.
"Mrs. Liu, why are you standing here alone?"
Liang Wan was the first person to take the initiative to talk to her. Wen Shiqing took the olive branch she offered, and the two of them started chatting, and soon they were talking very enthusiastically.
Shi Li didn't care about these things. The maid beside her would keep an eye on them for her. Seeing this, she snorted in her heart.
However, the maid was also a cautious person. Seeing the two of them getting together, she was worried that something bad might happen to Shi Li, so she kept watching them.
Liang Wan was a person who couldn't keep secrets and had no ulterior motives. Not long after she met Wen Shiqing, she told her about Yu Mo.
Although she only mentioned this person, the girl's love was written all over her face.
Wen Shiqing's eyes flickered, and she said to her encouragingly, "Miss Liang is a perfect match regardless of her appearance and family background. The Mr. Shan you mentioned definitely doesn't dare to marry someone above his station, not that he has no interest in you."
"Really? I think so too!" Liang Wan always thinks highly of herself and feels that Wen Shiqing's words touch the heart of her heart.
After being happy, he sighed helplessly, "But... I don't know how to meet him."
Wen Shiqing didn't know why Liang Wan stayed in the He family. She thought she could help her and bring the He family and the Liu family closer together, so she actively gave Liang Wan advice.
The banquet lasted for more than thirty days and the guests felt like home.
Liang Wan ignored Mrs. He's frequent glances at her and stayed with Wen Shiqing. The two of them were so close that they almost became sworn sisters on the spot.
Only Mrs. He was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but she couldn't call the person back in front of Wen Shiqing.
Shi Li is a link between many parties, but he is a very leisurely person.
He sat in his seat, looking around leisurely, and occasionally making jokes with his friends in the barrage.
"I feel like I'm the heroine now, and those two are like the villainous supporting actresses, all put together."
[Hmm, why not? ]
[The story of chasing his wife to the crematorium is so cliché that even my grandma won’t watch it~]
[I like to see the second male lead take the top spot! ]
[Bah! Our Yu Mo is clearly the male lead! ]
The barrage of comments was more lively than Shi Li's, and the whole night was filled with joy.
When the banquet ended, Shi Li left the He family and witnessed another big drama outside the gate.
