Meanwhile, others were gossiping about her in low voices.

"This is Mr. He's wife. She looks quite beautiful."

"How would you rate that? Look around and see how many people can compare to her. It's hard to even compare them."

"She looks so seductive, no wonder she can seduce Mr. He. Even Mrs. He treats her well."

"That's not the case. This woman is quite capable. I heard that Mrs. He often takes her to various banquets recently. She really succeeded in getting promoted."

"Then it must have been successful. Look, she's still wearing a ring on her finger. It's the same one that Mr. He posted online last time."

Mrs. Shen happened to pass by here and heard a few attractive girls chattering. She was just passing by, but stopped after hearing what they were talking about.

Madam Shen has always had a good relationship with Madam He. After hearing their discussion, she couldn't help but get angry and scolded: "What does other people's family affairs have to do with you? You have no right to point fingers here. Do you know who you are talking about? If you are so capable, you can speak louder. I will ask Madam He to come and listen in person!"

They were discussing enthusiastically and did not notice that there was someone staying next to them. When they were suddenly interrupted and looked in the direction of the voice, they felt a little guilty.

The smarter ones knew that this was Mrs. Shen, and did not dare to speak out to refute and offend, for fear that their words would really reach Mrs. He's ears. So they quickly apologized and then left the place in a hurry.

Madam Shen looked at their backs and couldn't help shaking her head. These were the excellent daughters that the ladies of various aristocratic families boasted about, but they had no manners at all, and there wasn't a single trace of the graceful and decent temperament of a rich lady in their bodies. They were really far inferior to An An.

Another pair of eyes was also staring at Su Xi. Since the last incident, Pan Xiaowen was sent abroad by her father to relax and travel. She also figured out a lot of things during the trip.

How could she, the eldest daughter of the Pan family, not be wanted? There were many young talents to choose from, so after returning, she discussed with Pan's father to find another one for her.

At the dinner table last night, Pan's father mentioned that Shen Linxuan was a good person, so she took note of it. When she saw Madam Shen alone in the banquet hall, she immediately shifted her resentful eyes away from Su Xi and walked towards Madam Shen.

"Mrs. Shen, long time no see, you are here too?"

Pan Xiaowen lowered her eyes slightly, smiled again, and greeted Mrs. Shen enthusiastically.

"Xiao Wen, are you coming here by yourself? Where's your mother?"

When Mrs. Shen heard the voice, she turned around, nodded politely at Pan Xiaowen, and asked with a smile.

"My mother is greeting Mrs. Jin, and I'm just wandering around here by myself."

"In this case, why don't you stay with the other sisters? Won't you be bored by yourself?"

"I'm fine. I just saw you here and came over. I haven't seen you for a long time. I must have missed you."

Pan Xiaowen complimented without changing her expression, with sincerity on her face, as if it was really as she said.

Mrs. Shen was also a shrewd person. She had been in the circle for so many years and had seen everything. Seeing her suddenly so enthusiastic, she didn't say anything. She just smiled and chatted with her for a few words until she was called away.

Seeing Mrs. Shen's gentle attitude, Pan Xiaowen's unhappy mood was somewhat relieved. She thought that someone as elegant and decent as Mrs. Shen was a true lady from a noble family, and she regained confidence in her charm.

The banquet was going on while the guests were drinking and chatting.

The head of the Jin family and Mrs. Jin were holding their eldest grandson on the stage and introducing him to the guests. The banquet was filled with laughter and peace, and everyone offered their blessings.

Mrs. He acted indifferent as she calmly picked up food for Su Xi, and from time to time she gently reminded her: "Xiao Xi, eat more and don't be embarrassed. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll pick it up for you."

"Thank you, Mom. Eat more too."

"Wow! Look at how Mrs. He treats her daughter-in-law. They get along so well. We should all learn from her."

A lady next to her covered her mouth elegantly and joked.

"Of course. Xiaochuan is on a business trip, so I took Xiaoxi back to the old house. What if his wife becomes thin and hungry, and he comes back to settle the score with me?"

Mrs. He replied with a smile that they had known each other for decades and were very familiar with each other.

"That's true. The relationship between the young couple is stronger than anything else. As long as the family is harmonious and happy, having two more children will be enough."

"That's not the case. Having a good relationship between sons and daughters can save a lot of worries. Look at how Mrs. Jin has been worried for a long time, and now she has finally solved the problem. It's a pity that the news has spread all over the circle."

Another lady also continued the topic and said that what they valued most was the family reputation, and any small incident would spread to everyone.

Mrs. He glanced at them, not caring what they were saying at all and not intending to respond.

At this time, there were some commotions at the door of the banquet hall. After a while, the door slowly opened from the inside to the outside.

A woman walked slowly from the door, she was wearing a light white long dress, she had a slender figure and a nice body, the hem of her skirt moved slightly when she walked, every step she took was exceptionally elegant and graceful, as if she was as graceful as an ancient lady.

She has a pair of bright eyes, big pupils that seem to be able to speak, with a hint of stubbornness and tenacity in her eyes, and a gentle and quiet look.

As soon as she came in, there was a commotion in all parts of the banquet hall. Everyone stared at the woman walking towards the stage, their eyes wide open, waiting for the Jin family's show to begin.

Mrs. He stopped what she was doing, gently put down her chopsticks, and her eyes remained on the woman.

Then, she leaned over to Su Xi's ear and whispered to her, "Xiao Xi, this is Mrs. Jin's ex-daughter-in-law that I just told you about in the car. If you come here at this time, I'm afraid the Jin family will have a hard time ending today. We can go back earlier later."

Even at this time, Mrs. He was still thinking about going back early, completely ignoring the storm that was about to come on the stage.

Su Xi responded in a low voice, raising his eyes slightly to look at the stage not far away.

At this time, the people around also reacted and whispered to each other.

"This seems to be the former daughter-in-law of the Jin family. She is probably here to mess things up. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Jin family is not doing things right."

"It's fine that the girl that Young Master Jin kept outside relied on her pregnancy to get promoted, but he doesn't know how to be low-key and even specially held a full-month banquet. If you calculate the time, you will know what's going on. Anyone can be angry."

"Shh, keep your voice down, or someone might hear you. Be quiet and see what's going on."
