She finally managed to return to the living room with a calm demeanor and began brewing tea for Xia Guoxiong.
She had also studied the art of tea, for two reasons. First, she wanted to appear more noble and elegant, more like a lady of stature; secondly, it was because Fu Han had mastered this craft and had even been the star of the show at a He Family soirée. Xia Ning felt she couldn't fall behind, so she learned it as well.
Unfortunately, Xia Ning's approach to learning about tea was sporadic at best, engaging in it whenever she remembered or found time.
By the end of a training course, she was far from proficient; she hadn't even mastered the basics. In the end, it was Xia Guoxiong who used his money and connections to buy her a certificate.
Later, when the Xia Family hosted an evening party, Xia Guoxiong was keen for Xia Ning to show off and bring honor to the family, but instead of gaining prestige, she managed to embarrass both herself and Xia Guoxiong.
