374 If You Don’t Offend Me, I Won’t Offend You
When they arrived at the main hall, they saw that it was filled with women. Because the heater in the room was turned on, everyone entered and took off their coats, including Qin Xi.
Qin Xi’s outfit was special. The coat was ordinary, similar to the most popular tweed coat this year.
The only difference was that there were some retro elements. After taking it off, the Chanel inside made the women look at her in surprise and envy. This made Qin Xi, who was usually unaffected by people’s gazes, feel a little uncomfortable.
Not only her, but even Han Shi’s outfit was envied. They felt that if their husband was in that kind of suit, he would also look great.
A woman in her twenties who had the potential to be a home-wrecker walked up to Qin Xi in high heels. She stared at Han Shi and asked with a smile, “Yo, is this your boyfriend? Why haven’t I seen him before? Which family is he from?”
This question was naturally directed at Qin Xi, but her gaze did not land on Qin Xi at all. It was clearly intended as provocation.
Qin Xi chuckled and imitated the woman’s voice and tone. “Yo, which rich lady is this? Why? Haven’t you seen a man before? Your eyes are about to fall on my man. Is no one going to do anything about it?”
The woman’s face darkened. She finally moved her gaze away from Han Shi and landed on Qin Xi’s face. Seeing that her skin was fair and rosy and that she had a baby face and looked very young, the woman was extremely jealous. She sneered in disdain. “What a rude country bumpkin. I only greeted you to show some respect. Don’t push your luck. Do you know who my husband is? How dare you talk to me like that!”
Qin Xi raised her eyebrows and put on a surprised expression. “Oh, so you have a man. Then please watch your eyes. Those who don’t know better will think that all the rich ladies are like you, interested in married men!”
Her words not only caused the other rich ladies to distance themselves from the women, but also mocked her for being a slut.
“You…”
The woman flew into a rage out of humiliation. She reached out and slapped Qin Xi on the face. It had to be noted that the woman was wearing a diamond ring. This thing was very sharp.
When everyone saw this, they couldn’t cover their eyes. However, no one went forward to stop her. Some women even watched the show with gloating expressions.
Men liked beautiful women, but women didn’t. From the moment they saw Qin Xi, they showed hostility.
Before the woman’s slap could land, Han Shi quickly retreated three to four meters with Qin Xi, dodging the woman’s slap.
Due to inertia, the woman missed and hit the decorative vase half a meter tall behind her. With a bang, the vase shattered on the ground. The woman also fell on the fragments. Immediately, many wounds appeared on her body and blood flowed all over the ground.
“Ahhh…”
The woman let out a heart-wrenching scream. Seeing this, the surrounding people immediately stood far away.
Qin Xi frowned. She did not expect things to turn out like this just because she dodged a slap. She did not think that she had gone overboard. After all, if people did not offend her, she would not offend them. This woman had already slapped her. Did she have to put her face close to her and let her slap her?
However, this was Old Madam Xia’s birthday banquet after all. Old people hated bloodshed at birthday banquets. Wouldn’t that put the Xia family in a difficult position?
“What’s so noisy?”
At this moment, a dignified and cold voice came from upstairs. Everyone subconsciously looked at the staircase and saw an elegant old lady in a dark purple woolen cheongsam walking down calmly.
