They were surprised to learn that Lin Xilan was protecting Xia Ningyan. It seemed that they had to stay away from her in the future.
From the corner of her eyes, Xia Ningyan saw the expressions of the madams, but she did not care. She knew that they did not like her. One she had secured her position in Lin Xilan's family, she would make sure that no one would look down on her again.
The banquet had already begun.
Lin Xilan had no idea that the madams had decided to stay away from her. However, she was still determined to introduce Xia Ningyan to them as her future daughter-in-law.
"Madam Ji, this is Xia Ningyan, my future daughter-in-law. Isn't she beautiful?" Lin Xilan held Xia Ningyan's hand as she proudly introduced her.
If Xia Weiyang were at the banquet, she would instantly recognize two of the madams.
One of them was her teacher, Shi Nanqing. The other was her teacher's good friend, Madam Ji. She previously asked Xia Weiyang to make a gown for her.
Madam Ji looked at Lin Xilan in surprise. It seemed Lin Xilan had drastically changed. She used to be smart and straightforward.
Madam Ji shifted her gaze and looked at Xia Ningyan with disdain.
Xia Ningyan, however, simply smiled at Lin Xilan. She did not say anything. Instead, she looked at Shi Nanqing.
Shi Nanqing noticed Xia Ningyan when she arrived.
How could she like a woman who had bullied her disciple? She could not believe that Xia Weiyang allowed herself to be targetted by Xia Ningyan.
The smile on Shi Nanqing's lips was filled with disdain as she looked at Xia Ningyan.
Xia Ningyan clenched her fists. She deeply hated the two women in front of her.
She vowed that she would punish these women in the future.
"Shi Nanqing, it seems you made this girl's dress."
The other women were very familiar with Shi Nanqing's work.
One of them reached out her hand and touched Shi Nanqing's shoulder as she looked at Xia Ningyan's dress.
After hearing that the dress was made by Shi Nanqing, the other people started looking at Xia Ningyan. They instantly envied her because of her dress. It seemed Xia Xingyan was actually capable of catching Shi Jue's attention.
Shi Nanqing picked up a wine glass and took a sip. She lifted her eyelids and glanced at Xia Ningyan. "It's blinding. Did you really think that I designed this dress?"
That's right.
The diamonds on Xia Ningyan's dress were shining brightly under the light. Such extravagance was indeed not Shi Nanqing's style.
In an instant, the people looked at Xia Ningyan with intense disdain.
They hated her for wearing a knockoff at such an extravagant banquet.
Everyone around Xia Ningyan glared at her.
Xia Ningyan's eyes flashed with anger when she heard Shi Nanqing's words.
'That b*tch! She humiliated me!' Xia Ningyan thought to herself.
Shi Nanqing then gazed at Xia Ningyan. "She's pretty. I didn't expect her to be a black widow."
"Shi Nanqing, please be careful with your words," Xia Ningyan said as her face darkened.
Even though Shi Nanqing was a famous designer, Xia Ningyan would not allow her to insult her without fighting back.
