Chapter 137: What a Waste of Talent

These women kept calling her Mrs. Liu all the time. It was fine if they didn’t know that she just got divorce, but they did know about it. Why did they still call her Mrs. Liu? How annoying.

Moreover…

“What’s wrong with being a woman? So what if I have children? What’s wrong with getting a divorce?” Wang Qin curled her lips. “It’s just thirty million. I can still afford it. Moreover, I believe in Miss Shen. Even if it’s a loss, I’m willing to do it.”

The noble ladies’ feelings were even more complicated. What right did these two women have to lead such a carefree life? Shen Hanxing was backed by the Ji family. She had a capable husband like Ji Yan who knew how to make money. But Wang Qin was an old woman who had been abandoned by her husband. How could she be so confident and throw away all her money? What right did she have to lead such a glamorous life?

Another noble lady mumbled, “That’s no need to reason with these two. Aren’t the poor and the nouveau riche supposed to join the group to keep each other warm?” It seemed that only by emphasizing their own identities, could these noblewomen feel more comfortable.

That’s right, a lowlife from the slums and a nouveau riche was not from the same world as these noblewomen from the upper-class society. With this thought, the anger in the noblewomen’s hearts gradually subsided. The gazes they used to look at Shen Hanxing and the other two also became more and more arrogant.

Shen Hanxing felt a little amused. What era was it now? These so-called noblewomen still used the old rules to restrict themselves, like frogs at the bottom of a well, gloating because of their status. Shen Hanxing couldn’t be bothered to argue with these people, but there was someone who was unwilling to give up and kept his word. “Of course she don’t feel sorry for the money that she didn’t earn. It’s really not easy for Mr. Ji to marry such a wife.”

“Right?” Someone chimed in. “I wonder if she’s investing the script or the man who wrote the script…” These words had some hints in it. Everyone looked at Zheng Youcai’s rather gloomy and handsome face.

“Maybe she doesn’t intend to earn money at all. She’s just going for the man…”

“Aiya, I can’t listen to it anymore. Uneducated people have dirty hearts. These two people…”

The crowd suddenly let out a wave of ambiguous and disdainful laughter.

Shen Hanxing’s expression suddenly turned cold, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. “We still don’t know my investment will make money or not, and everyone is already deciding the fate for me. The project hasn’t even started yet, and everyone can already see the result. Then everyone shouldn’t come to this small tea party. It’s a waste of your fortune-telling talent.”

“However, I have to say this shamelessly…” Shen Hanxing’s gaze swept across the entire scene, the corners of her lips curled up mockingly. “I dare say that the projects that everyone is investing will not only not make money, but they will certainly flop. Everyone’s painstaking investment is going to go down the drain.”

When they were criticizing others, they were all sharp-tongued. Now that they were being criticized, all the noble ladies’ expressions changed. How could they remain calm? These noble ladies all had their taboos. Before the investment had even started, somebody already predicted that they would lose money. How could they not be angry?

This was a typical example of what they could do but others could not. The noble ladies had forgotten how they had cursed Shen Hanxing’s project to lose money. They only looked angrily at Shen Hanxing and cursed, “You’re a vicious woman!”

“Take care of your own business before you’re criticizing the others. Ms. Ji Mei, I don’t want to see this kind of rude person at tea parties in the future!”

“It’s not certain who will make money. If you lose your money, don’t hide and cry alone in the corner.”

“How dare you speak like that? Do you know how to speak?”

Wang Qin saw these noblewomen questioning Shen Hanxing with bared fangs and claws. She couldn’t help but sneer and say, “You guys angry already? Weren’t you guys have some much fun criticizing Miss Shen just now? You are allowed to criticize Miss Shen, but she’s not allowed to retort, how does that make any sense? The rules of your upper-class society are really weird.”

“Fortunately, we’re not from the upper-class society.” Shen Hanxing shrugged his shoulders. “They have to wear a mask every day like a dummy and live a life of servility and complacency. We can’t enjoy such a life. It’s better to be free and happy.”

“Hanxing, what are you talking about!” Ji Mei’s face darkened. She couldn’t help but berate, “Everyone is trying to persuade you with good intentions. It’s fine if you don’t appreciate it, but why do you see such unpleasant words?”

“Are my words unpleasant?” Shen Hanxing sneered. “I think what Auntie and the other madams just said were much worse than mine. Besides, I’m not like the other madams who don’t know anything. After all, you know best whether these projects make money or not, right?” She stared at Ji Mei meaningfully.
