As soon as Madam Wang finished speaking, everyone in the private room stopped talking in surprise.
Madam Wang did not feel embarrassed, looking at Jiang Nuan with a provocative gaze, "Jiang Nuan, did I say something wrong?"
"Aunt, how can you speak to Nuan Nuan like that? Nuan Nuan isn't that kind of person." Jiang Yuxin pulled on her aunt's arm somewhat angrily, telling her to stop talking.
Madam Wang looked at her dotingly, patted her arm to reassure her, saying she was avenging Yuxin today.
"You are too kind-hearted. Don't you think I can see what you're thinking?"
Jiang Yuxin suddenly looked apologetically at Jiang Nuan, but Jiang Nuan's eyes were clear and bright, transparent and spiritual, without any hint of panic or inferiority.
Under such a gaze, Jiang Yuxin felt as if all her sordid deeds were exposed under Jiang Nuan's eyes.
Jiang Nuan glanced at her lightly, then looked at Madam Wang beside her and said unhurriedly, "No matter how well you dress or how noble your status, it cannot conceal your lack of class."
Jiang Nuan unhurriedly retorted to Madam Wang.
Madam Wang choked, not expecting Jiang Nuan to fight back.
Inferiority was always the label of the poor.
Seeing this dazzling banquet would make an insecure person feel unworthy. She had underestimated Jiang Nuan.
Before she could speak, Jiang Nuan continued, "This lady is not wrong. Having grown up in the Jiang family, my status is not noble, but Mu Jiu Chen fancies me and is willing to dote on me. This is my good fortune. Madam, feel free to be jealous."
Madam Wang: "..." Her eyes widened suddenly. She was truly sharp-tongued, capable of raising her own value.
Jiang Yuxin also bit her lip secretly. Did this Jiang Nuan have no sense of inferiority?
Did she have no shame?
Did she have no guilt?
Clearly, she had snatched him from Brother Chen.
"Nuan Nuan, don't be angry..."
"I'm not angry. Miss Jiang, what kind of person is your aunt that she's worth me getting angry?" Jiang Nuan asked with a smile.
Jiang Yuxin's face instantly turned extremely unsightly, "Nuan Nuan, my aunt is an elder. It's not good to speak to her like that, is it?" Jiang Yuxin bit her lip, looking somewhat wronged.
Jiang Nuan looked at her and asked, "She and I are not related. She started speaking to me as soon as she walked in. Is this how one respects a junior? If you want to be respected, you must first respect yourself, mustn't you?"
These aunt and niece, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, did they think she was easy to bully?
"Jiang Nuan, teaching you a lesson shows I value you. If you have any sense, make way for the excellent girls. How can maggots from a sewer fly onto a branch to become a phoenix?" A madam beside Madam Wang also said mockingly.
This madam was certain that no one present would help Jiang Nuan, so she could humiliate her as she pleased.
Madam Chu frowned slightly. Without Jiang Nuan, how could she see through the ugly faces of these madams?
They were envious of Jiang Nuan flying onto a branch to become a phoenix just moments ago, and now they had turned into these terrifying visages.
Jiang Nuan looked at the madam who had just spoken, her eyes were clear and cold. Having traveled to many places and experienced much hardship over the years, she understood better the reasons behind these people's attitudes.
It was nothing more than jealousy that she, having nothing, had married the high and mighty Mu Jiu Chen.
All of them felt unworthy.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nuan's eyes suddenly burst with a cold light, and the temperature in the private room dropped sharply.
Even Madam Chu, sitting beside her, felt a chill.
"Madam, make way for the excellent people? For whom?" Jiang Nuan asked with a smile.
The madam looked at Jiang Nuan still smiling, without any anger, her eyes flickered.
She had said such unpleasant things precisely because she wanted Jiang Nuan to lose her temper and act like a shrew, thus tarnishing her reputation and giving her daughter a chance.
But if Jiang Nuan didn't get angry at this level, what would happen next?
"There are many people more excellent than you. Don't you think you are unworthy of Mu Jiu Chen?" the madam said coolly.
"Hmph! Spitting nonsense, aren't you afraid of polluting the environment? Your face is full of jealousy. Madam, when you go out, remember to bring a mirror, lest you look too ugly and disgust people."
"You..."
"That's enough, Madam Gui, Madam Wang, Miss Jiang. Madam Mu is my esteemed guest." Madam Chu said with a stern face.
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang sneered, "Madam Chu, by treating someone like this as an esteemed guest, aren't you afraid of lowering your own status?"
Madam Chu narrowed her eyes and said fiercely, "I, Lin Wanru, had nothing, and my status was even lower than Jiang Nuan's, yet I still became Chu Yun Qing's wife. For over twenty years, we have been in love. Look at your husbands – aren't they all philandering outside? You come out with such airs, and only find a sense of superiority in front of those you consider to be of low status?"
"As far as I know, Ninth Master is infatuated with Madam Mu. It is because you are jealous of Madam Mu that you are speaking so carelessly. If you have the guts, say these words directly to Ninth Master."
The madams and Jiang Yuxin's faces instantly became extremely unsightly. How would they dare to say this in front of Mu Jiu Chen?
Especially Madam Wang, clenching her fists, looking at Jiang Nuan with murderous intent.
If Yuxin had married Mu Jiu Chen, would she still need to curry favor with Madam Chu?
Not only did she fail to humiliate Jiang Nuan tonight, but she was instead humiliated by Jiang Nuan.
The atmosphere in the room instantly became awkward.
Jiang Yuxin bit her lip, feeling that Jiang Nuan was very lucky.
How come even Madam Chu was speaking up for her?
Jiang Nuan's phone vibrated. She glanced at Madam Chu, "Madam Chu, I'm going out to take a call."
"Alright!" Madam Chu smiled.
Jiang Nuan stood up and walked out with her back straight. Every movement, every gesture, was filled with charm, evoking jealousy.
"Bitch," Madam Wang said with a strange expression.
Jiang Nuan's footsteps, which had reached the doorway, suddenly stopped.
Everyone in the private room was stunned. Jiang Nuan had heard her.
Jiang Nuan turned back and looked down at Madam Wang.
She slowly curled her lips. The cold pupils reflected Madam Wang's ugly face. A wicked smile spread across her lips, wild and brilliant, radiant, but very cold, with surging murderous intent.
"What... what do you want to do?" Madam Wang had never seen a woman with such a terrifying aura.
"What? Scared?" Jiang Nuan's voice was hoarse and cold.
Before Madam Wang could react, she heard Jiang Nuan's icy voice, "I, Jiang Nuan, have always acted upright and honorable, owing no debt to heaven or earth, nor to my conscience. My life's greatest hatred is being insulted wantonly."
"What do you want then?" Madam Wang's voice trembled.
"What do I want?" Jiang Nuan's gaze turned cold. She looked at the glass window behind Madam Wang, "I want to send you on your way."
With that, she kicked the booth below Madam Wang forcefully.
"Crash..." Madam Wang, along with the booth, retreated, hitting the glass behind her. The booth instantly split in two, and Madam Wang was trapped in the middle of the booth, her face pale with shock.
"Ah..." Madam Wang, finally reacting, screamed in terror.
Everyone present was stunned by this scene, their faces frozen. Such frightening strength.
Jiang Yuxin had even forgotten to stand up to help her aunt.
Until a worried voice came from the doorway, "Mom, what's wrong?"
