Since these first-class noble families had laid a solid foundation since their grandfather’s generation and because of their prestigious status, even if some seniors were less than stunning, they could usually snag a very beautiful wife.
Thus, the second generation of noble families was generally much more pleasant than any other average family’s second generation.
When it came to the third generation, there was no question about it.
The third generation of children of wealthy families were all handsome men and beautiful women.
However, the second son of the Xiao family, Xiao Yaxin’s father, had not inherited his grandparents’ height, figure, and looks. Just like a premature baby who stopped growing after being shaken, her father was even shorter than her two aunts.
She and her sister had inherited her father’s height alongside 30% of his general appearance.
Although her mother was stunning and tall, with a height of 5-foot-10, and was once the top model in their country, she and her sister had inherited her father’s height.
Both of them were only 5-foot-1. They might have mostly inherited their appearance from their mother, but the fact that they had inherited their father’s height meant that they could not possibly measure up to other socialites.
Now, upon facing Nangong Nuannuan’s jarring beauty, the jealousy in XIao Yaxin’s heart grew restlessly. Faced with Nuannuan’s provocative disdain and insults, she impulsively threw a drink at her.
Everyone cried in surprise when they saw the wine being thrown at Nangong Nuannuan’s face. However, Nangong Nuannuan casually turned her body slightly to dodge it.
Without missing a beat, Nangong Nuannuan took the glass of red wine from the hands of the young master conveniently standing closest to her and splashed it onto Xiao Yaxin’s face.
Silence—
The entire deputy hall instantly fell into a deathly silence.
After all, this was the second young miss of the Xiao family. Even if she could not be considered as beautiful as other socialites, there were still countless young masters from wealthy families who wished to marry her.
“Miss, aren’t you overreacting?”
A young master from a third-rate wealthy family who was pursuing Xiao Yaxin, stepped forward and expressed disapproval of Nangong Nuannuan’s actions.
“May I ask, sir, how I overreacted?”
“Is splashing Miss Xiao’s face with a drink not considered an overreaction?”
“Then why didn’t you step forward and say that Miss Xiao went overboard when she threw her drink at me?”
“But wasn’t she not able to splash her drink back onto you?” The man said with conviction.
“Oh, so just because she was not successful, she was not overreacting. By that logic, if someone only attempted to kill someone but their victim survived, the killer is innocent?”
“You’re twisting my words!” The man’s face was flushed. He could not think of a good way to retort.
Nangong Nuannuan sneered, “You’re meddling in other people’s business. You should be scolded.”
“How can you behave like this? Your words are so offensive. Is this how you were raised?”
“That’s right. Which family’s child are you? Today was meant to be a celebration party for Miss Shi—do you really think it’s appropriate to stir up trouble at someone else’s party?”
“Not only did you call Miss Xiao a beast, but you even called Young Master Chen a dog. Are you kidding me?”
Initially, all the socialite young masters were shocked by Nangong Nuannuan’s imposing manner. However, once one person gathered up enough courage to speak up, the others became bolder.
After all, the Nangong family and the Shi family were not on good terms—so the friends of their families had to pick sides. None of the socialite young masters there had seen Nangong Nuannuan’s unfamiliar face before.
Assuming that Nangong Nuannuan was just like any ordinary socialite, they believed that they would not be harmed as long as they had the support of both the Xiao and Shi family.
