The two of them walked to where the crowd was gathered and looked at the door. Unexpectedly, it was Xia Chenxing who entered the banquet hall! She was wearing a blue strapless dress that was stunning blue. The diamonds on it shone under the huge crystal chandelier.

Of course, everyone was gathered here not just to see how beautiful Xia Chenxing was today, but to gossip.

“Isn’t this Xia Chenxing? Didn’t she dare to cut ties with Xia Zhiguang? Why is she here at the Xia family’s charity banquet? She’s really thick-skinned.”

“You just found out today that she’s thick-skinned. Have you forgotten that three years ago, she was the one who married the rooster? What’s this little scene?”

“However, Xia Chenxing’s gown looks really good today. It seems to be a new gown that has just been released by Santa Ana. It hasn’t been released to the public yet.”

Xia Zhixi looked at the dazzling woman and gritted her teeth in hatred. She rolled her eyes and walked straight to the two women who were gossiping just now. She deliberately said loudly, “You’re right. The Santa Ana gown isn’t sold yet. She’s wearing a high-quality imitation.”

Hearing this, the surrounding people sighed and looked at Xia Chenxing again with envy and disdain. Some people even said sarcastically, “If she can’t afford it, then don’t wear it. Why did she have to wear a fake? How embarrassing!”

Xia Lan was also quite dissatisfied with Xia Chenxing because of the hospital incident. Now that she had found an opportunity to get back at her, she quickly said sarcastically, “Fortunately, she has already severed ties with the Xia family. Otherwise, she would be embarrassing our Xia family!”

When Xia Chenxing heard the discussions around her, she frowned and said, “Yangyang, why are there so many flies in the banquet hall? They’re buzzing. How annoying!”

“Exactly. Not only do the flies know how to buzz loudly but they also know how to suck up. It’s disgusting just thinking about it,” Du Yangyang said in agreement. Du Yangyang was every bit as offensive as Chenxing. After all, she was the editor-in-chief of Entertainment Weekly.

Someone couldn’t help but retort, “Xia Chenxing, who are you calling a fly?”

Xia Chenxing smiled and replied, “Whoever speaks is a fly!” She had always been like this. In the eyes of those close to her, she was humorous and trustworthy. In the eyes of these malicious people, she was just difficult to get along with. She was a lunatic with a vicious mouth. She continued to walk forward, but the woman who was scolded was not convinced and rushed up from the side to argue with her. Xia Chenxing seized the opportunity to look up and pushed the other party. She said indifferently, “Why are you so close? Fortunately, you’re a woman. Otherwise, I would have thought you were a hooligan. Don’t you understand the basic social distance?”

The woman was pressed down by Xia Chenxing and could not move. A few of her fake eyelashes fell off as she shouted emotionally, “Ah… my eyelashes!”

Xia Chenxing quickly let go of her palm and said in disdain, “What are you shouting for? Hurry up and touch up your makeup. What quality fake eyelashes are you wearing? They’re like fly legs that drop off with a touch!”

On such an occasion, only Xia Chenxing dared to speak without any scruples. That woman wanted to save face and could only leave dejectedly to touch up her makeup, not daring to pester Xia Chenxing anymore.

At this moment, Xia Chenxing noticed Xia Zhixi, who was watching the commotion in the crowd. She walked up to Xia Zhixi. She was relatively tall to begin with, and after putting on her high heels, she could only look down at her and say, “Xia Zhixi, what did you just say? I’m wearing a high-quality imitation? Open your dog eyes and take a good look. Can Santa Ana’s anti-counterfeiting gold be casually imitated?”

Anyone familiar with the Santa Ana brand knew that every piece of clothing in their house had an exclusive gold-embossed logo that no other brand could replicate.

Xia Zhixi leaned over to take a closer look. The gold was indeed real, but in front of so many people, she couldn’t admit that she was just spouting nonsense. She rebuked. “Xia Chenxing, watch your words. Even if you’ve cut ties with the Xia family, you’re still a member of the Li family. Don’t embarrass the Li family.”

“Oh, then you don’t have to worry. Grandmother loves me very much. She won’t blame me for such a small matter. As for you, Miss Xia, you won’t be angry and bite me after I expose you in public, right?”

Xia Zhixi’s face darkened. One moment, she was calling her a dog, and the next moment, she was saying that she bit people. She couldn’t pretend anymore and said fiercely, “Xia Chenxing, you’re the dog. Your entire family are dogs!”
