Chapter 783: Right
Even so, Wu Pingting could no longer bear to watch Huang Yuhan any longer. It was bold of her grandfather to think that she would stop talking just because he pinched her hand.
“Also!” Wu Pingting looked at Huang Yuhan mockingly and said, “Miss Huang kept saying that you’re from the Huang family and that you’re a socialite from a prestigious family. She even said that the Huang family has a very special relationship with the Xiao family. You’re a socialite who mingles with the upper-class society and has a special relationship with the Xiao family. So, how can you not know that the person standing in front of you right now—someone you just rudely referred to as a ‘henchman’—is actually Xiao Shenbin, the second son of the Xiao family that is a member of Emperor District’s Four Dominant Families?”
Huang Yuhan’s eyes widened. Her mind went, ‘...What???’
“Tsk, tsk. It seems like Miss Huang isn’t as presentable as she thinks she is! She insulted the promising captain with four moons on his epaulets as a poor soldier. The captain’s commander-in-chief told you off because he couldn’t stand it anymore, and you must insult him an old man who can’t climb up the ranks. Meanwhile, you’ve insulted a young master from a first-tier wealthy family by saying that he’s a henchman. Miss Huang, having horrible eyesight is a disease that can be healed. However, if there are some loose screws up in your head, it’s not something that can be solved by drinking Six Walnut[1] and putting on a few electric clips.”
Huang Yuhan stood frozen on the ground. She could feel herself short-circuiting.
What did she do?
What did she say?
She only said a few words. How did she offend so many people all at once?
Seeing how everyone was looking at her like she was an idiot, Huang Yuhan was suddenly very conscious of how uncouth she was.
She no longer dared to insult Chi Yang, Leng Jinpeng, or Xiao Shenbin. That left Wu Pingting as Huang Yuhan’s only viable target.
“Alright, he’s the commander-in-chief. He’s qualified to lecture me, but who do you think you are? What right do you have to lecture me?”
Wu Pingping gracefully stood up and introduced herself. “I’m Wu Pingting from the Wu family from Sea District. This is my grandfather, the chairman of Sea District Jade Association, Mr. Wu Maosong.”
After she finished speaking, most of the socialites and ladies present stood up and took the opportunity to greet Elder Wu.
The wealthiest family in Sea District could not compare to Emperor District’s Four Dominant Families. They could only be classified as a second-tier wealthy family. However, it was exactly because of this unclear division that families with assets reaching 50 billion categorized themselves into second-tier wealthy families in later times.
However, compared to the Wu family, the richest family in Sea District, 50 billion was nothing in their eyes. This small amount was not worth bringing up.
Therefore, Wu Pingting did not care about the Huang family at all.
Unfortunately, Zhong Qianqian did not originate from a wealthy family either. Despite coming from an insignificant family, she treated herself like a big deal and told Huang Yuhan that the wealthy families in Jiang District were all broke. Even if it was a high-end auction, nobody with reputable statuses would participate in it. At most, the military base’s commander-in-chief might attend. However, the commander-in-chief of the military base was from a second-tier wealthy family. Meanwhile, Huang Yuhan was also a lady from a second-tier wealthy family. If only they arrived a little earlier than Leng Jinpeng. That was all it took.
However, due to the two women’s need to be long-winded, they stayed in the bathroom for a while before departing. By the time they entered the auction hall, even the most important leader, Leng Jinpeng, had already arrived. Thus, that meant they had to miss out on the introductions at the beginning. Of course, they missed out on some big shots of this auction that they should not have missed.
Frankly speaking, if Huang Yuhan and Zhong Qianqian went in earlier, some of Zhong Qianqian’s old acquaintances would have been able to introduce her to the people in the hall. After all, she was also from a third-tier wealthy family in Emperor District. Zhong Qianqian could also use this opportunity to introduce this second-tier socialite, Huang Yuhan, to others. This way, more people would be able to get to know them; and fear them.
