After being backed by Jiang Wanyun, that wretched girl had pretended to be civilized to win everyone’s sympathy.

They, on the contrary, had been embarra.s.sed and humiliated and had almost gotten sent to the police station.

Thinking of her and Yun Ziling’s standings now in the upper-cla.s.s social circles in Jingdu, Liang Xiuqin started to panic. She had the burning desire to unveil Yun Xi’s hypocritical facade.

She didn’t know what Jiang Wanyun had said to old Madame Chen, but old Madame Chen had glanced at Yun Xi and asked Jiang Wanyun to invite her to the main table.

“Yun Xi, old Madame Chen wants you to come up to the main table to have a conversation with her.”

Jiang Wanyun’s words caused an uproar throughout the entire auction venue.

Everyone at the auction that night was there to expand their social networks and make the right connections.

After the Yun family had caused such a farce, old Madame Chen had unexpectedly invited Yun Xi to sit at the main table.

Everyone knew what this meant.

Liang Xiuqin’s expression turned extremely gloomy, and she stared at Yun Xi with green-eyed envy and resentment in her eyes.

Obviously, she was a scourge, so how come all the good luck in the world seemed to fall upon her?

Under the envious and antagonistic gaze of all the guests, Yun Xi stood up in a dignified and poised manner and followed Jiang Wanyun to the main table calmly.

At the main table, old Madame Chen looked her up and down, patted her, then asked Yun Xi to sit down.

As soon as Yun Xi had sat down, she keenly felt the burning eyes of Young Marshal Mu, who was sitting directly facing her, on her.

She raised her eyes a little bit and unexpectedly locked eyes with his pitch-black, seemingly bottomless, eyes.

The expression in his eyes wasn’t exactly friendly.

She’d obviously had the upper hand in this situation, so why did he seem so displeased?

After turning her head away, she amicably made eye contact with old Madame Chen. Her clear eyes were calm and un.o.btrusive.

She seemed like a refined and well-bred lady with a sophisticated air of elegance.

“You are the one who saved Chenchen’s life, the one he won’t stop talking about, right?”

Old Madame Chen had watched that farce just moments before from beginning to end without interfering at all.

After being framed by her own mother, this girl didn’t panic at all and calmly tore apart her mother’s lies one by one.
