In order to avoid any long delays, Qin Xi quickly found Liu Feng and sat down next to her affectionately.
"Lil Feng, you've grown so much after so many years."
Qin Xi seemed to be emotional, but her tone made Liu Feng feel strange."What's the matter?"
"You've been back for so long, but we haven't officially introduced you to our family and friends."
Qin Xi smiled as if she was asking for her opinion."Your father plans to hold a banquet this week to celebrate your safe return. Will you accept it?"
"It doesn't matter."
Liu Feng did not have any objections. It was just a banquet, but she had a feeling that the reason behind Qin Xi's decision was not that simple.
It seemed that the other party was still unwilling to give up and still wanted to make a move on her?
Liu Feng's lips curled up mockingly, but she heard someone knocking on the door again.
"Sister, you just came back from the countryside. You don't have any clothes, right?"
Jiang Yue brought a dress that was obviously worn before. There were traces of stains on the hem of the dress, and her eyes seemed to be apologetic."I don't have extra dresses either. Why don't you make do with this dress first?"
"No need, I have clothes."
Liu Feng did not even look at it and directly rejected it. Jiang Yue did not believe that this country bumpkin Liu Feng could take out any dresses. She pretended to be hypocritical and put away the dress. She even said lightly, "When the time comes, I'll be looking forward to my sister's wonderful appearance."
Seeing that Liu Feng was busy with something on the computer, Jiang Yue's eyes turned slightly cold, and she left with a snort.
Jiang Yue was just waiting for Liu Feng, this country bumpkin, to make a fool of herself. She wanted to see how Liu Feng would have the gut to stay in the Jiang family and how Liu Feng would have the gut to climb up to the Gu family!
On Sunday, the Jiang family held a grand banquet and celebration.
When Jiang Yue held Qin Xi's arm and came down from the building, she instantly attracted everyone's attention and attracted countless people's compliments.
That day, Jiang Yue specially chose a jade-white strapless dress with an emerald necklace around her neck. Her long hair fluttered in the wind and she looked like an elegant and noble little princess from the Middle Ages.
"Madam Jiang, your daughter is becoming more and more attractive every day. She is well-educated, reasonable, kind, and considerate. I really envy her!"
"That's right. Madam Jiang is really blessed!"
Although it was a banquet to celebrate Liu Feng's return, everyone in the industry knew that the Jiang family did not pay much attention to their lost eldest daughter. Everyone's focus naturally shifted, and they naturally praised Jiang Yue endlessly.
Jiang Yue's face was slightly red, and she had a decent smile on her face. As she stood beside Qin Xi, she felt even more pleased and carefree in her heart.
It was likely that Liu Feng, that country bumpkin, was hiding in some corner and crying right now!
Before Jiang Yue could be pleased for too long, a beautiful figure at the door immediately caused a commotion.
A fiery red long dress that was abnormally domineering like flames entered everyone's line of sight. Liu Feng's black hair and red lips made her skin look even whiter than snow.
It was obviously an extremely insolent red color, but it did not overpower the beauty of a woman. Instead, they seemed to complement each other. It made Liu Feng look like a thorny rose, enchanting and full of danger.
With just one appearance, Liu Feng successfully attracted everyone's attention.
Jiang Yue did not miss the intense shock in everyone's eyes. She secretly clenched her fingers and walked quickly to Liu Feng's side. She said in a worried tone, "Sister, did you deliberately reject the clothes I lent you because you have this gown?"
"I admit that it's very beautiful, but it's not a famous brand. It's a little unfair to match my sister's current status. I can give the gown to you."
From the corner of her eye, Jiang Yue saw that everyone's expressions seemed to have changed. The corners of Jiang Yue's mouth quickly curled up.
So what if it's beautiful?
It's still just a gown from a street stall!
However, one of the noblewomen said in a hesitant tone, "Elder Miss Jiang, is the clothes you're wearing the latest dress from J&L?"
Liu Feng looked at the noblewoman in surprise, ers eyes filled with admiration."I didn't expect anyone to recognize J&L."
Seeing that Liu Feng did not deny it, the woman did not hide the shock and envy on her face. The ladies beside her knew that she had always been knowledgeable, so they hurriedly asked her what J&L was.
The noblewoman steadied her mind and continued, "This is a very mysterious and high-end brand overseas. It is almost never sold to the outside world. It is only available to the European and American royal families and a few aristocratic families. Every style of clothing design can be said to be top-notch, and it is also unique. It never produces a second piece."
"Therefore, J&L has never entered the public's field of vision. Generally, very few people know about it."
However, Liu Feng was actually wearing J&L's latest design?!
If it was not for the fact that she was fortunate enough to know a noblewoman, who was J&L was one of the few customers, she might not have been able to recognize the gown that Liu Feng was wearing.
"Since it's so rare, could it be that what Miss Jiang is wearing is fake?"
Not to mention that Liu Feng was just a long-lost Elder Miss. Moreover, with the Jiang family's status, even though it could be ranked in the middle in Jing City, in the entire world, it was not worth mentioning at all. It was simply not worthy for a high-end brand like J&L to condescend to provide design services.
The dignified Elder Miss Jiang was actually wearing a fake and was even exposed on the spot. Some people could not help but laugh secretly and secretly ridicule her.
Liu Feng did not see their envious and jealous eyes at all. She only said indifferently, "Wearing clothes is just for comfort. Since you guys like the logo so much, why don't you wear the logo on your body?"
Liu Feng's words were like a slap to everyone's faces, making them unable to leave the stage for a while.
The noblewoman kept staring at Liu Feng, and the more she looked at her, the more familiar Liu Feng looked. The noblewoman suddenly asked, "Do you.... know Ji Yi?"
