The beautiful woman was a typical blonde caucasian woman. She was tall and slender, with a voluptuous figure. She wore a white dress, and her makeup was exquisite. She exuded a sense of elegance and luxury. One could tell that she was from the good family background. When she spoke to Ji Yan, she revealed familiarity and enthusiasm. She stood up and wanted to give him a warm hug. “Ji Yan, it’s great to see you! Long time no see!” Her language automatically changed to commonly used English.
Compared to the enthusiasm of the beautiful woman, Ji Yan’s expression was cold. He took a step back to avoid the woman’s hug. His voice also carried a sense of distant coldness. “Miss Aria, we meet again.” His English was good. It was pleasant to hear when he spoke in his deep voice.
Aria was not surprised when Ji Yan dodged her hug. She shrugged and said helplessly, “Ji Yan, you’re still so cold. It’s sad.”
A middle-aged blonde man sitting next to Aria also stood up and shook hands with Ji Yan. “I didn’t expect to meet you here. I haven’t seen you for a long time, Mr. Ji Yan.”
“Mr. Colvin.” Ji Yan nodded lightly and shook hands with him briefly. “My sister is performing today. I brought my wife here to watch it.”
“Wife? Ji Yan, you’re married?” Aria’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. “You’re married? How is this possible? No, I don’t believe it!”
“Aria!” The smile on Colvin’s face froze as he warned, “don’t be rude.”
“Daddy!” Aria stomped her feet in anger. “You know that I… I don’t believe it!”
“Mr. Ji Yan, I’m sorry. Aria has spoiled me,” Colvin shrugged helplessly. “However, the news of your marriage is indeed surprising. What kind of beauty can conquer someone like you?”
“This is my wife, Shen Hanxing,” Ji Yan held Shen Hanxing’s hand. He smiled proudly as he gently introduced Shen Hanxing. “Honey, this is Mr. Colvin and his daughter, Miss Aria, from the Luxen family.”
Shen Hanxing had a faint smile on her face. “It’s a pleasure to meet you both.”
“As expected, you married a true oriental beauty,” Colvin laughed heartily and shook hands with Shen Hanxing like a gentleman. “No wonder there’s an old saying in your country, ‘even heroes fall for beauties’. The two of you are a perfect match.”
“Daddy!” Hearing this, Aria stomped her feet angrily and looked at Shen Hanxing provocatively. “Miss Shen, may I ask which family you come from?”
Even the stupidest person understood Aria’s meaning. Not to mention, no one among them was stupid. Ji Qian was furious. She deliberately muttered in English, “Which family? Which family could it be? Of course, it’s the Ji family! She is my sister-in-law, don’t you get that?”
Aria’s expression changed.
“Sis, you can’t expect everyone to have common sense and basic manners,” Ji Mo smiled gracefully. He said, “some people ask this not because they don’t know the answer, but simply because they want to find trouble.”
“I see,” Ji Qian sneered. “What a foolish and bad person! I should advise her to increase her knowledge then.”
Ji Qian and Ji Mo looked like they were whispering, but their voices weren’t low. At least Alicia could hear them. Her face instantly darkened. “You guys are so rude!”
“Sorry, the kids are naive,” Shen Hanxing smiled. She calmly said, “that is the first time they’ve met someone who only knows how to flaunt their family background. They whispered about it out of curiosity. I hope you don’t mind, Miss Aria.” She didn’t ask about Shen Hanxing’s ability but only about her family background. It made sense when Hanxing doubted Aria had nothing to boast about except her family background.
“Haha, Aria, you’re impatient,” Colvin chuckled awkwardly, “it seems that Miss Shen is also an amazing woman. My daughter has always been independent. The two of you will get along well.”
Shen Hanxing didn’t think so. Obviously, Aria didn’t think so, either.
“I don’t have anything to talk to her. She doesn’t even speak French,” Aria’s eyes were gloomy. She turned her head away with disdain and sneered, “why do you avoid answering my question, Ms. Shen? Is it because your background is not presentable?”
From Aria’s point of view, although Shen Hanxing’s posture was elegant and calm, she didn’t fit the social etiquette of the upper class.
