Chapter 75: A Shameless Person

This time, as Shen Ning arrived at the entrance, she hadn’t even settled in yet.
Suddenly, a flashy woman approached her head-on.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Wu Lili! Shen Ning’s expression immediately darkened.
How could she be here?
She could never forgive a woman who had harmed her son, no matter who she was!
Therefore, she did not go forward to greet her but watched her coldly.
However, Wu Lili did not recognize her.
She cautiously approached with a smiling face and said, “Miss Beautiful Host, I’m here to attend the banquet. Can you please find me a seat?”
“What’s your name?” Shen Ning asked, mocking her deliberately.
“I am the young lady of the Shao family. I’d like to attend Gu Qi’s perfume tea party. I’ve always loved Gu Qi’s perfume, and I’ll definitely support it in the future,” she said with a sycophantic smile, speaking softly.
Seeing her in this state, Shen Ning felt a pang of heartache. A woman like her, using the Shao family’s name to step on the high and step on the low, trying to make connections at an event like this to satisfy her vanity, was a disgrace to her grandmother.
“I’m sorry, we didn’t invite you,” she refused sternly, hoping to preserve some dignity for the Shao family and remind her that she was not invited to this event. An uninvited person had no right to enter, and even if she managed to sneak in, she would only humiliate herself!
She hoped that she would come to her senses and leave immediately.
But ever since Wu Lili heard that this tea party was hosted by Li Zhenting, she had been determined to come and make herself known, to meet some of the wealthy ladies and socialites in the capital. It would satisfy her vanity.
After all, the people who could host a tea party like this at Li Zhenting’s invitation were undoubtedly top-tier socialites and genuinely wealthy. This was such a great opportunity, and she didn’t want to miss it.
“Miss Beauty, I’m a good friend of Mrs. Shen Mei, the wife of Li Corporation’s Mr. Li. She invited me to attend. I didn’t come randomly,” Wu Lili said when Shen Ning refused to let her in.
To her surprise, Shen Ning sneered, “Who is Shen Mei? I’m sorry, but she was not invited here.”
“You…” Wu Lili was taken aback. Even Shen Mei couldn’t help? Who was this woman? When she carefully looked at her and met Shen Ning’s cold eyes, she hesitated, and her face changed. “You, you’re Shen Ning.”
Shen Ning coldly replied, “Yes, it’s me. What’s the problem?”
Wu Lili stared at her up and down for a long time before sneering, “Tsk tsk, 1 can’t believe you’ve completely changed in just a few days. You’re really good at climbing. I can’t lose to you. It seems you’ve set your sights on Li Zhenting again. You’re really shameless. But let me tell you, even if you get close to him, you won’t be able to flaunt yourself in front of me. Let me remind you, Li Zhenting and Shen Mei are getting married soon. You’re nothing. Be careful that someone takes care of you when the time comes. Pah!”
She spat out these words, then pushed Shen Ning abruptly and walked into the venue arrogantly.
If a destitute and downcast Shen Ning could attend this tea party, why couldn’t she? Shen Ning was pushed back a few steps and almost fell.
“Ms. Shen, are you alright?” Secretary Li rushed over in time, holding Shen Ning and frowning at Wu Lili. “Who is this woman? She has no manners. Did we really invite someone like her?”
Shen Ning looked at her and said coldly, “She’s just an audacious person.”
“Shall I have security throw her out? If she dares to cause trouble at an event like this, we don’t want her,” Secretary Li said indignantly, about to call security.
“Forget it. No need,” Shen Ning held her back with a shake of her head.
Tonight’s main task was product promotion. A woman like Wu Lili, once she made up her mind to sneak in, would not leave easily. If they used force, she would definitely cause a scene. This event could not afford such disruptions, especially since many media reporters were present tonight.
Secretary Li had to give up.
She watched Wu Lili swagger in and sneered, “She’d better behave tonight. Otherwise, 1 won’t spare her.”
This woman obviously had a thick skin. Shen Ning was right. If they forced her out, she would likely create a big fuss.
Tonight, they could not afford to lose!
