Ms. Feng Ya had not planned to ask any more questions. Her daughter had always been lazy, and it was beyond her imagination that she was willing to attend the banquet. She thought that the girl had grown up and understood things, but she showed her true colors as soon as she came back.

"Stand up and sit properly. How can you behave like a girl?" Ms. Feng Ya walked over and patted the unruly Shen Wenjiao in annoyance.

Shen Wenjiao twisted her body, turned over reluctantly and sat back down, straightening the hem of her skirt that had just been accidentally lifted up. In the blink of an eye, she became a gentle and virtuous standard lady again.

Unfortunately, as soon as you see Shen Wenjiao's constantly moving white and tender toes, you will know that this is not a really good child.

"Jiaojiao, have you met anyone of your age who is suitable tonight?"

"Yes~" Shen Wenjiao said in a long voice facing her mother's sharp gaze.

"Who is she? How many people are there in her family? Where do you work? How old are you this year? What kind of person is she?" When Ms. Feng Ya heard her daughter say this, she immediately bombarded Shen Wenjiao with questions.

Shen Wenjiao opened her mouth slightly. Did her mother want to check her household registration? This was a formal banquet for some writers, editors, and booksellers to communicate, not a special blind date and social event. Those young people were also planning to work in this industry or were interested in it, so they were brought by their elders to meet people.

"A teenager of seventeen or eighteen is still in school and depends on his family. A young talent in his early twenties has no chance to get married early. If you don't mind me interfering in other people's families, it's easy to hook up with one." Shen Wenjiao was quite rebellious and deliberately sang against her mother, saying things that she probably didn't want to hear. She knew what her mother wanted to hear, but Shen Wenjiao didn't want to do what she wanted.

She keeps muttering about it all the time. Could it be that Shen Wenjiao won't be able to live well unless she gets married?

She was really exhausted this evening. She was nervously observing everyone around her. She thought about everything that others said before replying. She also had to pay attention to her expression at all times. Even though she wanted to shoot Fukada on the spot, she had to maintain basic courtesy and laugh it off with him. This was really not a human life. Shen Wenjiao felt like she was going to die at the banquet. She didn't know how those senior agents could stay alert all the time and deceive everyone.

Shen Wenjiao's words immediately caused Ms. Feng Ya's face to change drastically, from blue to green.

"Pah~ Stupid girl, talk to me properly." I can't stand it any longer. A mother doesn't need to find too many excuses to educate her daughter.

"Mom, I really haven't met anyone suitable, okay? Can you please let me go today? I'm really tired." Shen Wenjiao rolled her eyes, feeling that her rebellious period had come for the second time.

"Don't I just care about you? You..." Ms. Feng Ya wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted by the egg noodles brought out by Feng's mother. She looked at Shen Wenjiao's nonchalant look, her eyes were only on the noodles that were already on the table, and she was immediately furious.

Forget it, this girl is really hard to manage.

"Eat, eat. Explain it to me tomorrow." After saying that, Ms. Feng Ya went back to her room to rest. If she hadn't been worried about her daughter, she would have gone back to her room to sleep by now according to her habit.

Aunt Feng looked at Shen Wenjiao with amusement. She ate like a girl, which was very inconsistent with her makeup today. She said softly, "Miss, eat slowly. Eating too fast is not good for your stomach."

After finally swallowing a few mouthfuls of noodles, Shen Wenjiao felt alive again after having something to fill her empty stomach. She drank another mouthful of the hot noodle soup and felt relieved.

To be honest, even when Shen Wenjiao traveled to the Republic of China, she had never been hungry. This time, she had a rare experience of being hungry.

"Okay, I got it. Aunt Feng, you cooked noodles so quickly today. This is your cooking skill." Shen Wenjiao looked at Aunt Feng gratefully and gave her a thumbs up.

Aunt Feng looked helplessly at her own young lady who was unaware of the situation, and said in a low voice, "Miss, it's not that I'm quick! Before you came back, Madam had me stew the chicken soup, and the noodles were already prepared. Otherwise, how could it be so fast~"

Just now, Shen Wenjiao deliberately contradicted her mother. Feng Ma was in the kitchen preparing to serve noodles, so she naturally heard it clearly. Originally, as a servant, she was not in a position to say anything about the quarrel between the mother and daughter. But whether it was the lady with whom she had a deep friendship or the young lady who she had watched grow up, Feng Ma did not want there to be any estrangement between the two.

That's why I said this on purpose.

"Miss, don't blame the lady for being anxious. Our family is in such a state now, and there is always a mess outside. She is also worried about you. The rent in the building is sometimes not easy to collect. This is also the reason why every man in the family is tested!"

When Feng Ma mentioned this, she got angry. She thought back to when the war was going on and the people called all the relatives and friends from her home to live with her. They thought it was not easy for everyone, so they didn't say a word and even reduced the rent for a few months.

They are still not satisfied with this, a bunch of ungrateful wolves, who start to make trouble when they see that things are getting a little calmer outside the concession.

"If you can't collect the money, just kick them out! The house is mine, how can it be controlled by outsiders? Aunt Feng, if it doesn't work, just go to the police station and ask for help. We have paid the money every month."

Shen Wenjiao said disapprovingly that she didn't need this little rent now. Although she exchanged all the gold fingers in one go, she also left a lot of good things for herself. She left a box of valuable things such as gold and jade jewelry!

Even without this, Shen Wenjiao now has a considerable income every month. Some time ago, "The Kingdom of Women" was published as a book, which is another huge income.

If Shen Wenjiao didn't feel that she might not live in the concession forever, she would have dared to say with confidence that she could easily buy two more small Western-style houses.

Of course, the good houses in the concession are priced but not in demand, and there is never any difficulty in selling them, but there is just a lack of housing available.

"Oh, forget it. Miss, I can't explain the matter to you in a short time. I guess you are impatient to listen. You are old enough now, so you'd better pay more attention to it."

Shen Wenjiao had gotten over her hunger and felt much better. She started to eat slowly as usual. As for what Feng Ma meant, Shen Wenjiao was not the same black-and-white girl she used to be. She had some idea in her mind.

Isn't it just that some people are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, and they want to take advantage of the Feng family because they have women.

Shen Wenjiao was too lazy to waste her time on this nonsense. She still preferred to use force to defeat skill. She seemed to remember that the family of one of her readers tonight was in charge of their area.

Shen Wenjiao couldn't help but sigh at this time. Her readership is really large, with all kinds of people!
