Murong Xiang said calmly, “Shoes are the same as humans. There’s no distinction between expensive and cheap, and there’s no difference between high-class and low-class. What suits your feet are good shoes. I just want to go into that boutique to shop. It’s up to you whether you want to come or not.”

She took the lead and walked over as she spoke.

Madam Jiang and the other ladies looked at each other and then followed after her.

Although they didn’t like to shop in such unpresentable as shoe boutiques, they had to accompany Murong Xiang if she wanted to go.

After all, Murong Xiang’s status was unattainable.

She was someone who had married into a top noble family in Beijing. Who wouldn’t bow down to her?

And what Murong Xiang said was that shoes were the same as humans. How was that possible?!

In this world, the weak relied on the strong.

Powerful people were destined to be high up in the air.

As for the weak, they were only worthy of hugging the legs of the strong without any dignity.

On the other side, Murong Xiang stepped into the shoe boutique first.

The shop assistant could tell that Murong Xiang was dressed in an extraordinary manner and hurriedly went forward to welcome her with a warm smile.

“Madam, what kind of shoes would you like to see?”

Murong Xiang looked around for that familiar figure. “I’m just looking around. You don’t have to care about me.”

The shop assistant knew that some customers didn’t like to be disturbed, so she nodded and gave Murong Xiang some privacy.

Murong Xiang pretended to look for shoes while looking for Si Fan.

She was secretly anxious. He had clearly seen her enter this shoe boutique. Why couldn’t she see her now?!

Moreover, there were quite a lot of customers in this shoe boutique. After a while, it became more difficult to look for Si Fan.

After Murong Xiang entered the shop, Madam Jiang and the other madams followed her.

Seeing the Madams’ high and mighty attitude, the shop assistant also greeted them with a smile.

Madam Jiang and the others were used to being fawned upon. They didn’t have a good attitude towards the shop assistant. They ignored her and went to look for Murong Xiang.

Suddenly, Madam Huang, who was beside Madam Jiang, pointed at a figure blocked by a shoe rack and was stunned. “Madam Jiang, look, isn’t that Madam Si?”

When Madam Jiang heard this, she immediately looked over and saw Jiang Qin bending down to pick out shoes in the special-priced shoe section.

The clothes she was wearing were not branded either. They looked like they only cost a few hundred yuan at most and were very shabby.

She was indeed an unpresentable thing!

Madam Jiang shifted her gaze and noticed that there was a beautiful girl beside Jiang Qin.

The girl’s beautiful black hair hung on her shoulders. Her hair drew a beautiful and flamboyant arc as she walked leisurely.

Her face was fair and unforgettable.

They wondered which family she came from.

Of course, Madam Jiang would never know that the girl in front of her was Si Fan, whom she had always looked down on. Si Fan was her son, Jiang Qi’s fiancée.

In her eyes, Si Fan was ugly, lowly, and illiterate. She was considered to have forfeited the college entrance examination because of cheating. In the end, she had to rely on the Si Family to get into university.

In short, Si Fan was a good-for-nothing!

No, calling her a “good-for-nothing” would even insult the word “good-for-nothing”!

If not for the fact that Old Madam Jiang was in a daze back then and kept saying that Si Fan looked like someone she knew, agreeing to the Si Family changing Jiang Qi’s fiancée to Si Fan, her son’s fiancée would still be Si Xue, a top economics student at S University.

She would not be a performance major who could only be an actress after graduation!

When Madam Jiang saw Jiang Qin, she could only think of her unpresentable daughter. She immediately walked over and greeted her sarcastically.

“Yo, I was wondering who it was. So it’s Madam Si!”

Jiang Qin heard a familiar voice and looked up. Her face stiffened when she saw Madam Jiang and the others walking towards her.

Why was it her?!

Si Fan looked up at the person. She searched the original host’s memory and came to the conclusion that she didn’t know her.

Jiang Qin was stunned for a few seconds before she smiled awkwardly. “Madam Jiang, Madam Chen, Madam Song, what a coincidence. You’re here to shop at the shoe boutique too.”

In the Si Family, Jiang Qin usually lived in seclusion and hid in her world.

If Si Fan and Jiang Qi weren’t engaged since they were young, she wouldn’t have interacted with Madam Jiang.

After interacting with her, she realized that Madam Jiang was arrogant and looked down on her and Si Fan. She was sarcastic and deliberately targeted her.

Hence, she would not take the initiative to ask for trouble by engaging Madam Jiang.

Usually, she wouldn’t meet Madam Jiang unless there was a big occasion.

However, she did not expect to bump into her while shopping.

How.. unlucky.

Madam Jiang raised her chin. “Madam Si, I was just strolling around. I thought it was some high-end shoe boutique, but I didn’t expect it to be a trash shop. Tsk, tsk, tsk. The shoes in your hands are on sale, right? One look and you can tell that they’re outdated. How can you even like them?”

Jiang Qin smiled awkwardly and put the shoes back on the rack when she heard that.

The circle of wealthy ladies loved to compare with one another. Jiang Qin was still judged even if she was unwilling to participate in that circle.

As time passed, Jiang Qin developed a habit. No matter what she wore, it would be a brand that cost tens of thousands of yuan.

She was afraid that she would become a joke in their circle and embarrass the Si Family.

If not for the fact that she wanted to save some money, she would not have bought Si Fan discounted shoes.

Jiang Qin said, “I’m just looking around.”

Madam Jiang smiled. “Madam Si, you can’t be too casual. Be careful, you may be looked down upon.”

Jiang Qin lowered her head. She was used to being weak. She would habitually hide in her shell when others provoked her. She would not take the initiative to cause trouble. She would protect herself.

Si Fan, who had been silent, chuckled lightly.

She spoke unhurriedly with a hint of mockery in her tone.

“Who’s so free to care about what others think?”

She leaned lazily against the rack with her left leg slightly bent and her arms crossed.

The disdain in that pair of cold and clear peach blossom eyes was so obvious.

Madam Jiang’s expression changed.

She looked at Si Fan with an unfriendly gaze. For some reason, the more she looked at her, the more familiar she felt as if she had seen her somewhere before.

But no matter how hard she racked her brains, she could not figure out that the person in front of her was Si Fan.

Madam Jiang narrowed her eyes. “Who are you?! How dare you speak to me like that?!”

Si Fan looked calm. “Who are you?”

Madam Jiang’s expression stiffened.

It was as if she had been slapped in the face.

She was the mistress of Xiang City’s richest family. Everyone in Xiang City knew about her.

Today, she was actually refuted by a little girl?!

She was so angry!

Madam Jiang was furious. “Whose child are you? You’re so rude. You don’t even know who I am!!!”

Si Fan looked up and sneered. “Are you worthy of me knowing who you are?”

Her casual tone was filled with cold arrogance.

“You! You..”

Before Madam Jiang could finish her sentence, Jiang Qin whispered to Si Fan, “Fanfan, she is Jiang Qi’s mother.”

She was reminding Si Fan that she was betrothed to Jiang Qi and that Madam Jiang might be her future mother-in-law.
