As for Qiu Zhixuan, she was staring at the approaching figure from afar, furrowing her eyebrows.

Ms. Fang, Chen Jing, Yang Yang, these friends who have a good relationship with Li Zhi, wealthy ladies, occasionally meet at the old mansion villa. Since she can’t really chat with them and taking care of Yu Ze is troublesome, she seldom participates in their tea parties, and they aren’t keen on chatting with her either.

But today, all of them changed their usual demeanor, instead of congratulating Yu Ning, they came straight to her.

"Oh, Third Young Madam Feng, long time no see, you’ve become even more beautiful and charming recently."

A couple of days ago, Qiu Zhixuan caught a cold. Due to having to nurse Yu Ze, she couldn’t take medicine and it got quite severe.

Even though her face had brightened significantly with expert makeup today, it was still pale, completely unable to reflect beauty and charm.

Forced to smile, she twitched her lips and said, "Not at all, no matter how pretty I am, I’m not as pretty as Mrs. Fang. Mrs. Fang is a renowned beauty with charm in the circle."

Mrs. Fang proudly lifted her lips.

Yang Yang then smoothly continued, "Indeed, our Mrs. Fang is a famous beauty in the circle with charm, and she comes from a good family. She’s different from those actresses who rely on men to climb up. Oh, have you heard, not long ago, the second young master from the Zhou Family married an actress. She’s definitely pretty, but unfortunately, her family declined and she has no influence. No matter how much the second young master from the Zhou Family likes her, it’s of no use. The women in the circle all think that actress degrades the status, and nobody wants to associate with her."

Chen Jing: "Yes, I’ve heard. When I attended a Lu Family banquet last time, she was pitifully sitting alone. It’s pathetic how these people daydream, thinking marrying into a wealthy family makes them part of it. They do everything they can to squeeze into wealthy circles, but what happens when they get in? An actress is an actress, no matter how glorious they seem online, in the wealthy circles, nobody knows who they are! Besides, I heard this actress is not very proper in behavior, there are a few men in the circle she’s involved with, and she attends a lot of private parties, her reputation is terrible!"

The final comment made Qiu Zhixuan’s hands tremble with anger.

If they wanted to greet her, just greet her properly, why act familiar like chatting with her as if they’re close friends?

And what is this content they’re talking about!

An actress with a poor family background married into a wealthy family yet remains unaccepted within the circle... Isn’t this just meant to exaggerate and refer to her?

She’s not that bad, is she? Although her father lost his position in the political and commercial world, which meant their family’s influence in Rong City fell, it’s easy to be underestimated.

But it doesn’t mean their connections in Beijing are severed! Their family’s network in Beijing far exceeds that of Rong City, it’s just that after returning she hasn’t mingled with the society’s people, her connections in Beijing are not known in the circle, hence being ignored in this way!

Annoyed, Qiu Zhixuan’s fingertips curled painfully.

She wanted to say something, but before she could, Mrs. Fang shifted her gaze and immediately interrupted with a smile: "Oh, what are you all babbling about, how did you forget, Third Young Madam Feng is the least interested in chit-chatting with people like us, we’re not on the same level as Third Young Madam Feng."

"Not at all..." Qiu Zhixuan even more awkwardly twitched her lips.

Yang Yang smiled again and continued, "See, I said, Mrs. Fang, that was not right of you. Didn’t you notice our Third Young Madam is the gentlest lady in the Feng Family, never showing anyone a sour face? Why are you putting a high hat on Third Young Madam? Third Young Madam, now that Madam Li isn’t here, you’re quite familiar with us, you would like to chat with us for a while, right?"

Yang Yang’s words made Qiu Zhixuan unable to come or go in anger, she could only stand there nodding and continued listening.

For a moment, because of the previous words, everyone seemed to sense Qiu Zhixuan’s face turning cold, and didn’t continue with those topics.

But occasionally, as Qiu Zhixuan’s expression softened, they would again subtly mention something about her, indirectly talking about her.

Qiu Zhixuan was infuriated!

Having never participated in such a dull woman’s tea party, she couldn’t imagine the difference between a married woman’s circle and a single woman’s circle!

Just as she lifted her gaze, Li Zhi was standing in the distance, holding a glass of red wine, looking back at her faintly with a mocking expression.

With just a glance, Qiu Zhixuan understood, Li Zhi knew these words wouldn’t reach her, she wouldn’t really lose temper and confront.

Yet, she still indulged her friends to stir up trouble for her once, just to ensure she wouldn’t enjoy it.
