Ji Yi?
As long as one’s family background was slightly more prominent, any aristocratic family with a broader outlook would have heard of this name.
Ji Yi was the most sought-after noblewoman in Paris. Everyone was proud to see her, but not everyone had the honor of meeting her.
However, this noblewoman in front of them actually said that the Elder Miss who grew up in Jiang’s hometown would know Ji Yi?
Everyone thought that the noblewoman was crazy. Someone even wanted to mock Liu Feng and deliberately asked the noblewoman, “Why do you think that young Elder Miss Jiang would know Madam Ji?”
That noblewoman was only guessing at first, but she did not expect to bring so much trouble to Liu Feng, so she quickly explained, “I saw Madam Ji from afar at a banquet. She had the most favored little princess by her side. I saw that her temperament and appearance were somewhat similar to Elder Miss Jiang…”
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by a burst of laughter.
“Were you drunk?”
Everyone said that it was impossible. She must have seen it wrongly.
“She’s a top-notch noblewoman in Paris. How could she be Elder Miss Jiang’s foster mother?”
Someone covered his lips and laughed lightly. His eyes were filled with ridicule and malice. “Who doesn’t know that Elder Miss Jiang’s foster mother is a poor widow? A poor girl from the countryside, and she still dares to say that she knows Madam Ji? What a joke!”
Being embarrassed by everyone’s laughter, the noblewoman was also a little uncertain.
After all, with her current status, she did not even have the qualifications to enter that banquet hall. She could only watch from the outside and could not see clearly.
However, just this one glance was enough for her to come back and talk about it happily for a long time.
The noblewoman vaguely felt that her feeling should not be wrong. She turned her head and looked at Liu Feng as if asking for confirmation. “Elder Miss Jiang, do you know Madam Ji?”
Liu Feng lowered her eyes and slowly stroked the bracelet Ji Yi had given her. Her tone was indifferent. “How can I be qualified to know such an outstanding Madam?”
Liu feng apologized to her adoptive mother in her heart. She did not mean to draw a clear line with Ji Yi. If she admitted it at this moment, it would be no different from taking advantage of Ji Yi’s reputation.
This was something that Liu Feng was absolutely unwilling to do.
Hearing her denial, disappointment flashed in the eyes of the noblewoman. Meanwhile, Jiang Yue’s eyes flickered with pride and ridicule as she coldly looked at Liu Feng in embarrassment.
Knowing that she had misspoken, the noblewoman did not stay long at the banquet. She was also afraid that her recklessness just now would bring trouble to Liu Feng and offend Liu Feng, so she simply found an excuse and left early.
When the banquet gradually reached its climax, Jiang He and Qin Xi walked onto the stage arm in arm, and behind them was the Chu couple!
Liu Feng lowered her eyes coldly, the corners of her mouth curling up into an icy arc.
“Everyone, thank you very much for taking the time to attend my daughter’s celebration banquet. Taking this opportunity, we also plan to announce a happy event to everyone.”
“We have decided to form a marriage alliance with the Chu family. We will be holding the marriage between Liu Feng and Chu Yu next month.”
“Dad!”
Jiang Luan, who was also kept in the dark, had a sudden change in expression. His eyes were filled with anger. “Lil Feng has only been back for less than half a month, and she doesn’t even know Chu Yu. How could she get married so suddenly?”
“Shut up!”
Jiang He angrily rebuked and coldly glared at Jiang Luan. “Marriage is a major event. It’s always the parents who make the decisions! Don’t you think about Liu Feng’s status? Being able to marry into the Chu family is already her greatest fortune!”
These words were like a huge rock smashing onto the calm surface of the water, immediately attracting many people to agree.
“That’s right, for a girl who grew up in the countryside to be able to marry into the Chu family can also be considered her fortune accumulated in her past life!”
“Compared to the pampered Jiang Yue, Liu Feng is really far inferior. Don’t tell me she really thinks that she’s here to be the Elder Miss? What a joke!”
“The Young Master of the Chu family is a piece of trash who can’t be helped. A country bumpkin and a profligate son of a lower ninth-rate aristocratic family. They’re a perfect match!”
The voices around Jiang Luan became more and more unpleasant. His expression turned ugly. Just as he was about to stop Jiang He, he saw a figure who was even faster than him. Liu Feng walked straight up to the stage and snatched the microphone from Jiang He’s hands.
“I won’t marry Chu Yu.”
Liu Feng narrowed her eyes and her sharp gaze slowly swept across the crowd below. Her gaze paused on the proud Jiang Yue for a few seconds before the corners of her mouth suddenly curled into a mysterious arc.
“Because I already have a boyfriend!”
