Even hybrid monsters have their day

Chapter 109 Provocation

Beside her stood three arrogant women, all of whom were quite attractive.

Xu Ruwen, in his sea of ​​consciousness, uttered softly, "The newcomer is not friendly."

She ignored him, nodded politely to the woman, and said, "I am Geng Miaowan. May I ask if this young lady has something to discuss with me?"

"Hmph, this is the eldest daughter of the Rong family, the granddaughter of Mr. Rong, the host of this banquet!" A woman next to her eagerly introduced the woman, her tone suggesting she was someone of great importance. However, Geng Miaowan didn't recognize her, so even the most powerful person was just a name to her.

She looked at them and said calmly, "Then thank you for your hospitality, Miss Rong. The food today was delicious."

"You!" Another woman glared at her, as if she had said something utterly vulgar. Then, with a graceful expression, she turned to the people around her and said, "I really don't understand how such a vulgar person could get into such an elegant banquet like ours. Could it be that she just snuck in to freeload?"

After saying that, she didn't forget to curl her lips in disdain, showing how much she disdained to talk to her.

Geng Miaowan sighed inwardly, "You jinx, you actually hit the nail on the head. But I don't even know them, so why are they targeting me?"

Xu Ruwen spoke again calmly, as if he were an experienced person, saying, "Usually when women make things difficult for other women, it's either for money or for men."

"Uh..." she said, speechless at his conclusion.

However, their next words soon confirmed that Xu Ruwen's guess was correct.

Seeing that Geng Miaowan remained silent, the women assumed she knew she was in the wrong and had no reply. They exchanged glances and gave each other a mocking smile. Another woman spoke up, "That's right, only our Miss Rong is worthy of Young Master Qiu. These random people who come from who-knows-where don't they know how to look in the mirror? They have no self-awareness whatsoever."

"You can tell at a glance that she's a vain woman."

"Exactly, I really don't know what kind of seductive methods she used to bewitch Young Master Qiu."

"I think Young Master Qiu is only with her out of pity for her because she has nothing."

The others chimed in. They all knew that Geng Miaowan had no powerful connections, so they spoke without any reservations.

Geng Miaowan watched the group of women, who were singing in unison, with amusement, feeling that they were a bunch of clowns. The main character hadn't even spoken yet, and these minor characters were already vying to curry favor.

She had no interest in Qiu Pi to begin with, so she didn't really care about their talk of whether they were a good match or not. But that didn't mean she was someone who would swallow her anger, especially towards these people who only knew how to bully the weak by relying on the power of others.

She smiled slightly, elegant and charming, "You're right, I am a vain and greedy person, and I'm only with Young Master Qiu for money. But who can blame me when Young Master Qiu just happens to like this kind of thing? If you're not convinced, then why don't you go back and give away your own money and end up penniless? I think you'll be able to win Young Master Qiu's sympathy even more."

"What do you mean?"

"Because I still have a conscience, while you are the ones who truly have nothing."

They were stunned for a moment before they understood what she meant. Their expressions immediately changed.

"you!"

"How shameless."

At this moment, the eldest daughter of the Rong family spoke up, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh. My name is Rong Man'an, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

Geng Miaowan turned to look at her, "But I'm not happy to know you."

Upon hearing this, Rong Man'an's expression changed. She had been exceptionally talented in every aspect since childhood, and was always the center of attention wherever she went. She was the object of everyone's scrambling and flattery; no one would dare to speak to her like that.

Ever since she first met Qiu Pi several years ago, she had fallen for him at first sight, but despite her best efforts, she couldn't break through his defenses. A few days ago, however, she suddenly heard that he had fallen for a woman who was inferior to her in every way. How could she accept this?

So when he learned that the woman had also come here today, he quickly brought his men over to deflate her arrogance.

But I never expected that the other party would be such an ungrateful person.

Seeing her expression change, a woman beside her quickly said, "Miss Rong, don't be angry. This woman won't be so smug for long. Didn't Old Master Rong already invite Young Master Qiu over? I think they'll definitely be discussing things with you."

“Miss Rong, don’t be angry. Didn’t Mr. Rong call Young Master Qiu over? I believe he must want to talk to him about your marriage. As long as Mr. Rong is involved, this marriage will definitely be fine.”

Hearing her say that, Rong Man'an quickly adjusted her mindset and regained her elegant demeanor, as if she didn't care about her.

Just then, a cheerful male voice broke in, "What are you guys chatting about, having so much fun?"

Besides Rong Man'an, the other three women quickly approached He Chaobai, speaking in a coquettish tone and complaining about Geng Miaowan. Geng Miaowan glared at him disapprovingly; which eye of his had seen them chatting happily?

After listening to the three women's embellished retelling, He Chaobai raised an eyebrow and feigned anger, saying, "How could this woman be so ungrateful?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, even Gu Man'an looked at him with a sorrowful expression.

He chuckled softly, a hint of nonchalance in his expression, and said in a low voice, "In that case, you should leave first, and let me teach her a lesson."

His smile carried a hint of wickedness.

These women all knew He Chaobai's character well, and many of them had been intimate with him. They all knew what his smile meant. Furthermore, He Chaobai and Qiu Pi had always been irreconcilable enemies, and they believed that He Chaobai would not easily let Qiu Pi's women go. They were all too familiar with He Chaobai's methods.

Several people gave Geng Miaowan a knowing, knowing look, waiting to see what would happen to her after He Chaobai set his sights on her. As Rong Man'an passed by him, he smiled slightly at her, but she didn't even glance at him before leaving.

After the four women left, He Chaobai sat down opposite Geng Miaowan. "Miss Geng, how have you been?"

"I thought you weren't going to show up."

"How could that be? I love banquets like this the most." As he spoke, he waved to a young woman standing not far away. "Besides, you'll be here tonight too. I'm sure many people here are more interested in you than in this banquet."

Geng Miaowan lowered her head speechlessly and continued eating what was on her plate. (To be continued.)
