Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Today’s Windfall Luck!
The models had already stopped their runway walk when they heard the commotion, and the staff, afraid to disturb the wealthy ladies, stood still without making any rash moves.
Seeing this, the other models were momentarily stunned, their eyes widening in shock as they looked toward the male model who had fallen.
Finally, a female model stepped forward in anger and said, "I’ve personally seen Eric and Lady He being intimate! Eric is my ex-boyfriend. Just two days ago, he was bragging about being fancied by a wealthy woman and said he would quit this suffocating job as soon as he made some more money. I thought he was truly appreciated by a successful person, but it turns out he’s just with a married woman. It’s disgusting! These adulterers will get their comeuppance sooner or later!"
The female model’s words caused everyone to widen their eyes in astonishment, and her statement undoubtedly confirmed the affair between He Hui and Eric.
Mrs. Li was even more infuriated and slapped He Hui’s face again.
"You wretch, I wondered why you recently started liking shopping at Huaxiu. So this was the reason—to sneak around with men. How disgusting, doing such a thing right under my nose?! Wait and see, I won’t let you off easily. Get rid of that bastard child in your belly as soon as possible and divorce Ah Cheng tomorrow. The Li Family doesn’t need someone like you as a daughter-in-law, you disgrace our family name!"
Mrs. Li then picked up her handbag, angrily making a gesture to leave.
But Jiang Li stopped her first, chuckling lightly, "Mrs. Li, let’s not forget about the agreed price."
Mrs. Li’s expression changed, and after glancing around at the people nearby, she said irritably, "Don’t worry, I’ll transfer the 500,000 to your account without a cent missing, and I can buy you clothes from Huaxiu too."
After saying that, she spat at He Hui and finally stomped away.
He Hui picked herself up from the ground and cried as she chased after her.
After she left, the others started gossiping—
"Gosh, the show today was really worth watching. I’ve long disliked Mrs. Li’s haughty demeanor."
"I thought her Li Family was so great, but it turns out it’s all just for show!"
"Exactly, it seems her taste isn’t that great, always bragging about how good her husband is. And here she is, picking such a daughter-in-law, truly shaming her own family’s reputation."
"It’s disgusting, of all people, why a male model? Doesn’t that devalue her own worth? Let’s go, we better keep our distance from such families to avoid getting tainted."
"Yes, yes, but Miss Jiang’s fortune-telling is really precise. I once spent tens of thousands on a fortune teller and he wasn’t nearly as accurate as her. Maybe we should have her read our fortunes too?"
"...."
One batch of people dispersed like birds and beasts, while another group moved over to Jiang Li, chirping around her.
"Miss Jiang, I suspect my husband is seeing someone else too. Could you help me figure it out?"
"Miss Jiang, my daughter-in-law is also pregnant recently. Can you help me see how the child will be?"
"Master Jiang, my husband’s business hasn’t been doing well lately. Can you help him find a solution?"
"Miss Jiang...."
"Ladies," Jiang Li had no choice but to speak up to end this farce, "I might not have the time to read for you all now, but why don’t you add my contact information, send me your requests, and when I have the time, I’ll take a look. However—"
"However what?"
"But my fortune-telling fee won’t be cheap."
"What’s the problem with that?" a lady hastily said, "I have plenty of money. As long as you are accurate, even hundreds of thousands are no issue."
"Exactly, exactly," someone immediately chimed in.
Before Jiang Li’s eyes seemed to appear one gold ingot after another, and she smiled, squinting her eyes.
The divination indicated she would have unexpected financial luck today, and indeed it was correct.
Afterward, she added the contact information of these wealthy ladies one by one, and only then did they leave satisfied.
The bustling, noisy fashion show had completely quieted down.
Seeing this, Lin Man Ru finally stood up from her chair and came over to grasp Jiang Li’s hand, speaking earnestly, "You just exposed Mrs. Li’s family disgrace in front of everyone, aren’t you afraid she will bear a grudge?"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "It’s fine. I had already seen that Mrs. Li cares a lot about her image and people’s opinions. That’s why I brought this matter up, to prevent her from doing anything against our Jiang family. With all the gossip this stirred up, she should be busy dealing with it and won’t bother us. Besides, she should thank me for unveiling this family disgrace, or else she might have been kept in the dark about it for who knows how long."
The richer the family, the more they care about lineage issues.
Surely, Mrs. Li wouldn’t want her grandson, whom she painstakingly raised to be a wealthy young master, to be someone else’s child?
"Miss Jiang is right, Mrs. Jiang, please don’t worry."
A gentle female voice came from the side.
It was Tang Jinyu.
Once the crowd had mostly dispersed, she approached Jiang Li and her mother, then looked at Jiang Li with admiration in her eyes.
"Mrs. Li is famously concerned with her image, and those women love gossiping. It probably won’t take long before this becomes widely known. She’ll be too busy dealing with this to even think about taking revenge on you."
"Besides, we all saw everything today. It was Mrs. Li who insisted on digging to the bottom of it. If anything happens to the Jiang family, she will be the first person everyone thinks of. She definitely wouldn’t jeopardize her husband’s and son’s futures just to vent her anger."
Lin Man Ru looked somewhat puzzled at the eloquent and beautiful lady speaking in front of her.
"May I ask who this lady is—"
Hearing this, Jiang Li took her hand and said, "This is Mrs. Wen, Wen Jiaojiao’s mother. Wen Jiaojiao is the one who appears with me on the variety show I mentioned to you."
Tang Jinyu, upon seeing that Jiang Li recognized her, was both surprised and pleased.
"I hear Jiaojiao praising you at home every day, and finally meeting you in person today, I see she wasn’t exaggerating at all. Miss Jiang is both graceful and intelligent, anyone would like her upon meeting."
Jiang Li chuckled lightly and nodded, "Mrs. Wen flatters me, Jiaojiao is very lovely, and I like her too."
Lin Man Ru knew of the Wen Family; they were an old and noble family in the Capital, with several generations in politics. Her husband was also well-established in the business world, even Mrs. Li had to show some respect to her.
For people like them, normally at banquets, they would have no business talking with the Wen family, but today Mrs. Wen had surprisingly spoken up on their behalf.
