An Junxi heard the voice and felt that the woman had a strong personality. It was not uncommon for wealthy people to book the hotel restaurant at a high price. This was nothing new.
She didn’t want to make it difficult for the manager, and she was about to leave anyway, so giving the hall to other guests was fine.
She said, "Manager, let her in."
The woman turned to look at her, scrutinizing An Junxi with a peculiar smile at the corner of her mouth.
An Junxi hadn’t seen her before but found her face somewhat familiar.
It was obvious the woman had been a classic beauty in her youth, and she still retained some charm. Her gaze carried arrogance, and she seemed somewhat bitter.
An Junxi thought, this woman is not a good person.
The woman walked in, "The Young Madam of the Gu Family, truly, hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once."
She addressed her as the Young Madam of the Gu Family but still showed disdain in her eyes.
An Junxi thought, she hadn’t dug up her ancestral grave, was this woman experiencing menopause early?
Yin Feibai stood up to greet, "Aunt He."
A spark flashed in An Junxi’s mind, was this He Sirui’s mother?
Her thought was quickly confirmed as He Sirui walked in from outside, followed by an assistant carrying a boutique shopping bag.
He Sirui was surprised to see An Junxi and Yin Feibai in the hall, "Jun Xi, what a coincidence."
An Junxi said indifferently, "I am about to leave. I won’t disturb you and Aunt."
Jiang Liu said in a strange tone, "I am the one who disturbed you. I’m very curious about what the Young Madam of the Gu Family and the Young Master of the Yin Family are discussing that others can’t know, to book the whole hall for it."
An Junxi was displeased. Was this necessary to confront someone so aggressively upon first acquaintance?
Despite being an elder, speaking without decorum not only loses respect but is also looked down upon by the younger generation.
An Junxi was a straightforward person who never tolerated nonsense from outsiders. She said, "Aunt He has been abroad too long and has forgotten the status of our Gu Family. The Young Madam of the Gu Family chatting with someone and booking a hall is nothing. To us, it’s a trivial matter. Aunt may have difficulty accepting it... The Gu Family is a grand family; many things Aunt He may not understand, but I can sympathize."
The smile on Jiang Liu’s face disappeared, and she glared furiously at An Junxi, "You little wench..."
"Aunt He, everyone knows I am the wife of Gu Yikun of the Gu Family. The He Family is far inferior to the Gu Family. Despite having a reputable status, Aunt He’s behavior... can’t even match up to this little wench?"
Yin Feibai wanted to laugh; he looked out the window with his face flushed.
Aunt He only knew that Junxi’s background wasn’t great, but she didn’t realize Junxi’s temper was not to be trifled with. Truly, she had brought humiliation upon herself.
Jiang Liu took a deep breath, she had underestimated An Junxi. No wonder her daughter was bullied by her without a word.
She turned to Yin Feibai. She couldn’t stand him being the son of Yin Handedong and born to Tao Manqiu.
"Young Master Yin, what are you laughing at?"
Yin Feibai quickly said, "Nothing. Aunt He, feel free to sit down. We won’t disturb you."
Jiang Liu said, "You seem to have a good relationship with Yi Ke’s wife."
He Sirui apologized to An Junxi, "My mom is used to being abroad and speaks more directly. Jun Xi, don’t mind her."
An Junxi disliked people who constantly mentioned "abroad" as if staying there made them superior, bringing bad habits back and expecting others to accommodate them.
She didn’t want to waste words with such people. Jiang Liu continued spitefully, "What’s this about being direct? A married woman cozying up to another man... anyone would think more about it. Young Master Yin, your mother made the same mistake back in the day; you wouldn’t know about this family’s shame since you weren’t born yet."
An Junxi was shocked; this Aunt He truly thought she could overpower everyone. Did she even realize her status?
To openly demean Tao Manqiu in front of Yin Feibai was audacious.
Yin Feibai was also enraged, "Your daughter wants to climb into a married man’s bed every day, isn’t that shameful?"
He Sirui’s face reddened, and she shouted at Yin Feibai, "Who are you talking about?"
Yin Feibai quipped, "Others may not know, but I know you want to climb into Gu Yikun’s bed. Since we are with his wife, let’s clear this up today. It’s sickening how the He Family thinks they are superior to others."
An Junxi was no longer in a hurry to leave. Yin Feibai had said what she wanted to say and wanted to see He Sirui’s reaction.
He Sirui was indeed tactful, even pretending in front of An Junxi, "Jun Xi, don’t listen to these idle rumors. Yi Ke and I have unavoidable interactions for work, there aren’t so many issues."
