Everyone entered together. The staff hurriedly went forward and asked, “May I know which private room you’ve booked?”
Tang Lingyun shouted proudly, “Room One!”
Wasn’t Qiao Xi so arrogant? However, she could only escape to Room Three dejectedly now! Meanwhile, their Tang family would be holding a banquet in Room One.
The staff asked respectfully, “Are you Madam Tang and Miss Tang? The private room you reserved is ready. I’ll bring you there now.”
Madam Tang smiled elegantly. Being able to hold an apprenticeship banquet in Room One of Fragrance Hotel was a symbol of status. Not only could it boost Ruge’s reputation, but it could also make the Tang family proud.
At this moment, the staff walked up to Qiao Xi and Li Xing’er and asked, “Which private room have you reserved?”
Just as Li Xing’er was about to answer, Tang Lingyun said mockingly, “It’s Room Three! The eldest daughter of the Li family is actually holding her birthday party in Room Three. How disgraceful!
“Sister, our Tang family is a scholarly family and we’ve always cared about our reputation. You’re also a young lady from a wealthy family and a socialite from the capital. You’re talented, not someone some arrogant young ladies can compare to!”
These words were no longer mocking Li Xing’er but also looking down on the Li family. Although the Tang family’s foundation and wealth were inferior to the Li family’s, Tang Ruge’s reputation and talent were much better than Li Xing’er’s. The entire capital knew that the Tang family had produced a talented woman. She would definitely achieve something great in the future!
Li Xing’er was just an ignorant and incompetent little girl. She could not be compared to Tang Ruge at all.
Tang Ruge stopped her gently. “Lingyun, you can’t say that! Miss Li, I’m really sorry. Lingyun doesn’t mean to look down on you. It’s just that the Tang family has many rules, so they have high expectations for everything.”
Just how big was the Tang family? How dare she talk about rules?
Li Xing’er was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. The Tang family was simply too much. First, they bullied Xi Xi. Now, they were mocking her and her family!
This was intolerable!
Before she could explode, Qiao Xi said indifferently, “At first, I couldn’t be bothered to compete with you, but since you insist on competing in this regard, let’s compete.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi turned around and said to the staff, “I’m Qiao Xi.”
Tang Lingyun immediately laughed out loud. “Qiao Xi, are you stupid?! Do you really think you’re some big shot?! Aren’t you just relying on President Gu’s power? If you want to do something, you have to first ask President Gu! What’s the use of reporting your name?!”
Unexpectedly, the staff members’ eyes were filled with surprise. They rushed to Qiao Xi and bowed respectfully to her. “Sixth Miss! We’re really sorry! We didn’t know you were here. President Qin had already instructed us to bring you to Furong Pavilion if you came!”
Tang Lingyun’s eyes widened as she watched this scene in disbelief. Her expression gradually stiffened as if she had seen a ghost.
Qiao Xi’s gaze landed on Tang Lingyun, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she laughed arrogantly. “You guessed correctly! Fragrance Hotel is indeed owned by my family.”
These words were like a heavy blow to Tang Lingyun’s face, rendering her and the rest of the Tang family speechless.
The Tang family had just mocked Li Xing’er and Qiao Xi for holding a birthday party in a low-class private room. Now, they were slapped in the face. Qiao Xi was actually the sixth miss of Fragrance Hotel.
Tang Lingyun looked at Qiao Xi viciously. She was actually the boss of Fragrance Hotel?
Qiao Xi smiled and said, “Xing’er, let’s go to Furong Pavilion. It’s an independent courtyard that’s even more spacious than Room One. Moreover, the scenery there is very beautiful!”
“Sure! I won’t argue with a dog on my birthday today,” Li Xing’er replied with a smile. Then, she turned around and raised her eyebrows. “Miss Tang, I hope you have fun in Room One!”
Tang Ruge looked embarrassed, but today was an important day. She had to maintain a good image.
Seeing her daughter’s unhappy expression, Madam Tang went forward and comforted her. “Ruge, those who achieve great things have to endure difficulties. Qiao Xi is just relying on her power and influence to mock you. It’s nothing. You’re already Mr. Qi Zhong’s last apprentice. With Mr. Qi Zhong’s current reputation, you’ll definitely be able to inherit his mantle in the future and become the number one female artist in the oil painting world. At that time, how can Qiao Xi be qualified to compare to you? Therefore, you can’t give up your status for these people.”
Hearing this, Tang Ruge’s expression gradually softened. She smiled and nodded.
“Mom, who do you think will be attending Li Xing’er’s birthday party?” Tang Ruge asked curiously.
