After going down, Mr. Ke and Mrs. Ke went on stage holding hands to announce the official start of the banquet, and they took the lead in dancing.
Rong Shichu said to Ke Tingfan in surprise: "You didn't tell me that I had to dance? What if I don't know how to dance?"
Ke Tingfan put his arm around her waist, pulled her in front of him, lowered his head and said, "I'll teach you."
As he said this, he took Rong Shichu's hands with both hands and taught her to dance slowly and seriously.
Fortunately, the opening dance had a slow tempo and simple movements. Rong Shichu listened to Ke Tingfan's instructions and watched the movements of others. He quickly learned most of it and danced quite well.
Ke Tingfan was about a head taller than Rong Shichu, and he was also tall, so Rong Shichu looked particularly petite. When she was hugged by him, it was as if her whole body was enveloped by his presence.
The handsome man's strong hormonal scent made Rong Shichu's heart beat a little faster. Even though he didn't exude it on purpose, it was the charm that he exuded unconsciously that was particularly charming.
What's more, Rong Shichu is a man who likes men and is a womanizer. Facing such a top-notch man, she herself cannot guarantee that she can control herself.
Look at her hands, they are ready to touch his waist to see if it is strong and thin...
The result of her daydreaming was that she danced absent-mindedly and stepped on Ke Tingfan's foot.
"Sorry!" Rong Shichu suddenly felt guilty and raised his head to apologize in a flattering manner.
Ke Tingfan looked at her pretty pink face, her smiling eyebrows and eyes, and his eyes darkened a little. His Adam's apple slid up and down, and then he said in a low and hoarse voice: "It's okay."
Rong Shichu was attracted by his delicate Adam's apple and couldn't help but stare at him. Seeing her like this, Ke Tingfan froze slightly: "What are you looking at?"
"Ah, nothing. I just noticed that you have a long and straight neck, which looks pretty nice." Rong Shichu said casually. If he mentioned the Adam's apple, would it make her seem too unreserved
Ke Tingfan felt that his hands, which were holding Rong Shichu's slender waist, seemed to be hot, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should withdraw his hands.
Fortunately, Rong Shichu remembered the current situation, so he did not continue to tease the young master.
After the dance, Ke Tingfan was called away. He looked at Rong Shichu with some worry and said, "Then you can eat something here first. I will come back to see you in a while."
"Okay, don't worry about me, I will take care of myself." Rong Shichu said. She was indeed hungry. After all, she had not eaten dinner since she left home. Now, after so much time had passed and she had danced, the food in her stomach had long been digested.
So she didn't hesitate and went to the food area to choose food.
Although vegetables and fruits are very precious nowadays, they are nothing to the prominent Ke family. There are still enough dishes and fruits for a banquet, so there are vegetable dishes and snacks, as well as expensive fruits in the food area.
Rong Shichu had originally attracted special attention because she was the female guest brought by Ke Tingfan himself. Now, Ke Tingfan, the flower-guarding messenger who had always been following her closely, finally left. As a result, those who had been eyeing her covetously came forward to demonstrate, just like sharks smelling blood.
"I don't know where this lowly creature came from. She thinks she can reach the top in one step just by hooking up with the Second Young Master Ke. She really doesn't know her place..." A young woman with gorgeous clothes and a beautiful face stood one meter away from Rong Shinchu and said deliberately.
"You're truly a person who has never seen the world. As soon as you come in, you act like a starving ghost, picking up the most expensive food to eat. How petty!" another woman also said sarcastically.
“Poor Cinderella, she probably hasn’t even seen a natural plant. Now that she has the chance to attend such a banquet, she must seize the opportunity to eat more, otherwise she won’t be able to eat it in the future…” One of the arrogant daughters also began to sneer.
They all claim to be noble and elegant, so naturally they would not use dirty and filthy language like a shrew to curse Rong Shichu, who was out of tune with them. Instead, they would only use all kinds of weird and derogatory words to humiliate her, hoping to make her run away in shame.
In the past, they used the same method to deal with people they disliked, deliberately saying indirect insults to attack and humiliate others so that they would flee without a fight.
But who is Rong Shichu? She is thick-skinned, and such verbal attacks can't hurt her at all. Therefore, even though she knows that these women are talking about her, she still freely chooses the food she likes, worrying about whether the snack is sweet, salty, or sour...
But those young ladies who wanted to see her feel inferior, sad, and anxious were almost mad at her for not caring. Why didn't this trick work? Could it be that she didn't notice it at all
So they raised their voices and ridiculed Rong Shichu nearby.
However, Rong Shichu still turned a deaf ear to them. This time, they no longer cared about their elegance and decency, and directly blocked Rong Shichu's way, saying arrogantly: "We are talking about you, you scheming bitch who came out of nowhere? How dare you show up here? If you know what's good for you, leave now!"
Rong Shichu then looked her up and down and asked, "Excuse me, who are you from the Ke family?"
The arrogant lady sneered: "You don't even know me? You are indeed a lowly commoner! I am not a member of the Ke family..."
"Oh, since you are not a member of the Ke family, then what qualifications do you have to ask me to leave? I was invited here by Mrs. Ke herself." Rong Shichu said expressionlessly.
"What? You were personally invited by Madam Ke? I don't believe it!" The arrogant young lady screamed angrily, "You must be lying. Madam Ke is not someone you can get close to. If you're lying, at least you should clarify the situation."
"If she didn't invite me personally, why would Ke Tingfan bring me here?" Rong Shichu said impatiently, "Can you stay away from me? I'm not interested in competing with you. If you like Ke Tingfan, just go find him. What's the point of looking for me?"
"You, you... How dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?" The arrogant lady stamped her feet in anger. If it would be useful to find Ke Tingfan, would she still be jealous of such a humble woman now? She would have found him long ago! Isn't it useless, so she has to attack the suspected rival
"Who you are and what does it have to do with me?" Rong Shichu walked around her and went to choose other dim sum. Although she was richer now and could afford normal meals, the dim sum here at the Ke family was different from what Aunt Rong would make. She was very interested and wanted to try it. After trying it and finding it delicious, she asked Aunt Rong to teach her.
"Liu Liu, it's inappropriate for you to argue with such an ignorant and short-sighted woman. If we want to deal with her, we just need to give the order. Why stop her now?" Another woman who looked at Rong Shichu with disdain said to the arrogant woman who had returned in defeat.
