She had been instructed by Mrs. Lin to support Mrs. Chen this time, so when she turned around in the direction Mrs. Chen was pointing, her expression was cold and stern.
However, when she saw that the person she had protected just now was Shi Man, her expression immediately turned to shock.
Shi Man looked at the sudden change in her mood with a playful expression. She raised her eyebrows in amusement and said briskly, “You know me?”
How could she not know her? The only daughter of the Shi family who was doted on was actually surrounded by a group of rich madams in the changing room. If this matter spread, not to mention whether the Shi family would fall out with the Lin family, even Yi Zheng, who was waiting outside, would not let them off easily.
Mrs. Chen was waiting for Secretary Song to immediately teach Shi Man a lesson. Unexpectedly, she fell silent when she saw Shi Man. She immediately touched her arm anxiously and puzzledly. “Little Song, quickly catch her and throw her out of the banquet. We can’t let such a pheasant in. That would lower our status!”
Secretary Song was on the brink of tears. She really wanted to beg Mrs. Chen not to say anything else. If she had known that the person they were bullying was Shi Man, she wouldn’t have picked up that call just now!
Mrs. Zhuo also ran over with a puzzled expression. She even deliberately raised her hand to show her the red shoe marks on her hand. “Little Song, look at how vicious this woman is. She almost broke my hand just now! Why don’t we send her to the police station and let the police teach her a lesson? This is intentional harm!”
Secretary Song was speechless. She pursed her lips and turned to look at the two of them helplessly. “Although I don’t know why things turned out like this, there are many of you after all. I also took a slap for her just now. It’s better to avoid trouble. What do you think?”
“How can that be!” Mrs. Chen frowned and glared at Xiao Song unhappily. “That’s not what Mrs. Lin told you, right? Why are you biased toward her? Do you really know each other?”
Mrs. Chen had called her over to support her, but things did not go as she had expected. She immediately felt embarrassed and could not care less about offending Secretary Song. She pointed at Shi Man and said arrogantly, “Either she leaves today, or I leave! Little Song, do as you see fit!”
Secretary Song was helpless and could only turn around again. She sighed softly and apologized sincerely on behalf of Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhuo. “Miss Shi, I’m sorry. 1 don’t think these two madams are targeting you on purpose. 1’11 apologize to you on their behalf. Can you be magnanimous and let this matter go? CEO Yi is still waiting for you outside!”
Shi Man leaned against the wall calmly and looked at Mrs. Chen, who had her mouth wide open behind Secretary Song. She smiled and said, “I’m afraid not. Mrs. Chen just said that she doesn’t want me here.”
Mrs. Zhuo looked at Shi Man in disbelief. She grabbed Secretary Song’s arm and asked guiltily and nervously, “Little Song, what did you call her just now? Miss Shi? Which Miss Shi?”
Could it be the eldest daughter of the Shi family that she was thinking of?
But why would she attend such a banquet and not come with Shen Xian? Moreover, the Shi Man they had seen in the past had always had terrible taste and wore heavy makeup. When did she dress up seriously and even wear such a dazzling dress?!
She was simply a completely different person from before!
It was no wonder they couldn’t recognize her.
In the past, the Host had a unique hobby. After being bewitched by Shi Jing, she dressed up as uglily as she could. The makeup on her face was thicker than the city wall. Now that she had removed her makeup and only put on light makeup, her appearance was very different from before.
Secretary Song pulled a long face helplessly and explained with drooping shoulders, “This is the daughter of the Shi family, Shi Man. The Lin family also sent an invitation to Mrs. Shi today, but Mrs. Shi had something to do and declined it. 1 just found out that Miss Shi will come on behalf of her mother.”
Now it was Mrs. Zhuo’s turn to be so shocked that one could stuff an egg in her mouth.
She and Mrs. Chen looked at each other and suddenly wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Today, the two of them had completely lost face. Just now, they were still showing off in front of her and wanted to chase her away with the Lin family’s power. Unexpectedly, this little girl was the eldest daughter of the Shi family whom no one could afford to offend. Their expressions immediately became uglier.
Secretary Song apologized to her sincerely again. “I’m sorry, Miss Shi. It’s indeed my fault for not entertaining you well. Please forgive me.”
Mrs. Chen nodded with a pale face and begged for mercy with a smile. “That’s right. Don’t be calculative with us. We’re the ones who failed to recognize a formidable person.”
Mrs. Zhuo echoed and even raised her hand unintentionally, hinting that Shi Man had already taken revenge on her and that she should stop targeting her.
Shi Man took in their attitude and admired their pale faces. Then, she said calmly, “You want me to forgive you? Since you wanted to slap me just now, why don’t you reward yourself with a slap now? I’ll pretend that nothing happened today..”
