Chapter 48: Such a Slap in the Face

You should know, the girls who came to the party today had all carefully dressed up at home, just to be the center of attention at the party, but the result was that the halo was snatched away by the two sisters.

At this moment, these girls were all indignant, wanting to do something to mock the two sisters.

"Hmph, these two outfits would cost several hundred thousand to buy, you two still don't know how to appreciate?" Ding Wan, seeing the two girls unwilling to accept, thought they wanted more, and then continued with dissatisfied mockery: "You two haven't even paid respects to the ancestors in the Wen family, so you're not really Wen family members; how come you're putting on airs?"

Xiao Ming was furious, raising his hand to slap Ding Wan's mouth.

At that moment, a gasp of astonishment came from afar.

"Wow, those two outfits aren't Cherished Love and Only Dependence? They were exclusively designed by an international designer, symbolizing true love; there are only two in the world, and at a very grand auction earlier this year, someone bought them for several million."

"Cherished Love? Only Dependence?"

As the exclamation sounded, everyone turned their gazes toward the woman who had made the sound.

"Yi Qi, the president of Xingchen Group."

Someone recognized that woman.

Yi Qi is not only beautiful but also highly capable, having made her clothing business thrive; the Xingchen Clothing Company she founded boasts internationally renowned designers, international models, and investments in many hotels, resorts, etc., earning her a fortune and making her a legendary figure in the circle.

At the same time, she is called a woman who walks at the forefront of fashion.

At this moment, Yi Qi was admiring the dresses worn by Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun, walking slowly toward them step by step, saying as she went: "Truly beautiful, really so beautiful."

Until she got close, Xiao Ming blocked her path, and only then did Yi Qi come to her senses.

Amid the chatter of those people, Yi Qi learned that Xiao Ming and that girl were father and daughter.

"These two outfits are Cherished Love and Only Dependence, right?" she asked Xiao Ming; she could tell, but she wanted an absolutely certain answer from him.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly: "Miss Yi, you're impressive; you spotted it at a glance."

"Really?" Yi Qi, hearing this, covered her mouth in surprise and then said: "These two outfits are the work of a very famous international designer, they are non-sale items; later the designer did charity, putting them up at a charity auction, and they were bought by a big shot for 7.3 million and 8.5 million respectively."

"Since then, no one has seen these two outfits symbolizing true love again."

"Not only that, at that auction the big shot also bought a set of jewelry called Brilliant Starlight for three million, and another set called Auspicious Bud for four million; I also heard that at that auction he bought the world's largest sixty-one-carat diamond, the King of Diamonds, for ninety million, and the money he spent at that auction remains unbroken to this day."

When Yi Qi finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent, so quiet that one could hear the breathing of the person next to them.

The women at the party—some were career women, some were wealthy wives, some were daughters of noble families—at this moment all looked at Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun with envy.

"Good heavens, this is so expensive; if you add up everything they're wearing, wouldn't it be over ten million?"

In the crowd, someone let out an exclamation.

Immediately, the surroundings exploded in an uproar.

These female guests around? They all came from wealthy families, each dressed to the nines.

Yet on them, there didn't seem to be anything particularly high-end; even if what they wore and added up to a few million, that was already quite impressive.

Yi Qi's words left no doubt; after all, she is known as a woman at the forefront of fashion, and her statement is absolutely credible.

In an instant, gazes of envy, jealousy, and resentment all gathered on Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun.

Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun were also greatly shaken by Yi Qi's words, both looking in surprise at their own father.

Xiao Ming merely gave a light smile.

Afterward, Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun glanced at each other, instantly feeling delighted, and stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, linking arms with their father.

Who would have thought, the outfits their father gave them were actually this precious.

At this moment, Geng Jing Shu, standing beside Wen Yunzhe, was so shocked her small face changed color.

She quickly reached up to touch the necklace on her neck, then glanced at the bracelet on her hand.

Not only Geng Jing Shu, but Geng Tianhua and Sun Xuehua were just as shocked as their daughter Geng Jing Shu.

Yesterday, when meeting Xiao Ming's family, during the gathering, Geng Jing Shu and Wen Yunzhe chatted casually, and Geng Jing Shu wondered what brand that jewelry was.

Wen Yunzhe directly asked his father, and Xiao Ming had said it was called Destroying Starry Sky.

At the banquet, exclamations of astonishment continued around.

They never imagined that everything these two girls wore and adorned themselves with was priceless, something they could only long for but never envy.

Initially, they even helped Wen family's eldest daughter-in-law Ding Wan in mocking the two sisters.

Who would have thought, the result was such a slap in the face.

Those who mocked the Wen sisters felt their faces burning, ashamed to the point they couldn't lift their heads.

"What international joke is this? Those two country girls could never afford such expensive outfits," Ding Wan exclaimed in surprise; not understanding fashion, Ding Wan simply didn't believe Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun could afford such costly attire, thinking they were merely pretending.

But before she could finish, her face was struck with a solid slap.

Ding Wan was dumbfounded.

"You, you actually dare to lay hands on me?"

Covering her face in disbelief, she glanced at Xiao Ming for a moment, then, after regaining her senses, she burst into loud crying and screaming, lunging at Xiao Ming like a madwoman, wanting to fight him to the death.

How could Xiao Ming let her get away with it? Seeing this, the surrounding Wen family members all stepped forward to help Ding Wan.

Wen Yunzhe, seeing this, angrily rushed to Xiao Ming's front to protect him.

Wen Yuchun, not willing to be outdone, kicked out when she was about to be subdued by Yunzhe.

At the banquet, those who had mocked Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun hurriedly retreated.

Anyone able to wear such high-end attire is certainly no ordinary person.

You should know, the Wen family is one of the top clans, yet even the Wen family doesn't have such grandeur; that man dares to strike at the Wen family, and looking at his always calm and composed demeanor, he is full of confidence.

That man seems like a born king; when he gets angry, just a glance is enough to make people feel intimidated.

Ding Wan lunged forward trying to fight Xiao Ming to the death, but she got nowhere; Xiao Ming slapped her several times in succession, her face instantly swelling like a pig's.

Afterward, Ding Wan covered her face and glared fiercely at Xiao Ming, but she had lost the courage to step forward again.
