"Ah? Miss Keiko isn't Miss Shoutian's daughter? So I have a rich daughter as a bodyguard?"
Li Mei blinked, looking at Keiko Shoutian before her, her eyes filled with confusion.
She knew Er Zhu was strong, but he was too strong to find a rich daughter to be her bodyguard, wasn't that an insult to the Shoutian family?
"What rich daughter or not, Mr. Wang has helped me a lot, and this is what I should do."
As soon as Li Mei finished speaking, Keiko Shoutian quickly bowed to Li Mei and apologized, as if she was afraid Er Zhu would dismiss her.
"Well, that's settled then. I have some business to attend to outside."
Er Zhu didn't mind. He nodded slightly, gave Keiko Shoutian a look, and strode away.
Keiko Shoutian's words were just polite, but little did she know that Er Zhu thought exactly that!
Just a pampered Japanese daughter, let alone a bodyguard, he could even afford a nanny!
In the blink of an eye, a month passed. In a few days, it would be the centennial anniversary of the establishment of the Feng Corporation.
To celebrate this occasion, Old Feng held a grand anniversary banquet, and those who attended were all distinguished guests!
Er Zhu didn't want to come, but Old Feng had visited him several times and his invitation was too heartfelt to refuse. Naturally, he had no choice but to bring Li Mei.
Of course, Keiko Shoutian was also present.
"Er Zhu, you're here! I just obtained some precious medicinal herbs. Can you go and take a look?"
As soon as Er Zhu stepped into the banquet hall, Old Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him with a smile.
"Mm, then I'll leave Mei's safety to you."
Er Zhu nodded slightly, turned and instructed Keiko Shoutian, then after glancing at Li Mei affectionately, he followed Old Feng upstairs.
"Mei, let's go sit over there."
Keiko Shoutian nodded repeatedly. After watching Er Zhu leave, she pointed to the sofa not far away and said.
Li Mei didn't speak, just smiled and nodded, then walked towards the sofa.
Over this period of time, Li Mei had gotten used to the routine of banquets. But it was precisely because she understood it that she hated coming to such places even more.
Everyone wore a mask of hypocrisy, speaking insincere words. It was better than the idle chat of the villagers in Shiliu Village.
However, Er Zhu's status was now prominent, and some superficial courtesies had to be observed.
"Hey, what right do you, a servant, have to sit on the sofa? Get up now!"
Just as Li Mei was about to sit down, a gruff voice suddenly came from behind her. She turned around and saw a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman looking at her angrily.
"I'm not a servant, I'm Mr. Wang's fiancée!"
Seeing the foreign woman's arrogant demeanor, Li Mei was not to be outdone, puffing out her chest and replying proudly.
"Mr. Wang? Oh my god, are you talking about Wang Er Zhu, the richest man in the capital?"
The woman was stunned, then suddenly seemed to remember something, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed with her hand covering her mouth.
As the precious pearl of the Carlin family, Carina loved all kinds of rich and handsome men, especially those at the pinnacle like Wang Er Zhu!
This time, she flew to the capital from White Country specifically to see Wang Er Zhu!
"Yes, him!"
As soon as Carina finished speaking, Li Mei became even more confident. She looked around for Keiko Shoutian while answering.
She was just here, how did she disappear in a blink of an eye?
Seeing that Keiko Shoutian was not around, Li Mei couldn't help but frown.
Er Zhu was busy and not here, and Keiko Shoutian was also not here. What if this foreign woman didn't believe her?
"Hahaha, Wang Er Zhu is the richest man in the capital, and the fiancée of the richest man in the capital would never be a woman like you!"
As expected, Li Mei's worries were not unfounded. Just as she thought this, she heard Carina's mocking laughter.
Li Mei saw that no one was beside her and couldn't be bothered to argue with her, so she simply sat down.
"You get up! This sofa is a resting place for us distinguished ladies and socialites. You... are not worthy!"
Seeing that this Chinese woman had actually sat down, Carina pulled her up. Her eyes were filled with anger and provocation!
Her privileged upbringing from childhood made Carina extremely arrogant. In her eyes, there were only two types of people in the world: the elite and the lowly!
Just like Wang Er Zhu and this shameless Chinese woman, Wang Er Zhu was the elite she had to curry favor with; and this woman was the lowly!
"Enough! This is China, you foreigner, stop acting crazy here!"
Carina's rude behavior angered Li Mei. She forcefully shook off Carina's hand, her eyes filled with indignation.
She was silent not because she was afraid to argue with her, but because she didn't bother!
"Heh, you, a servant, dare to yell at me? Whose servant are you? Come out here!"
Carina was stunned, and a surge of immense anger welled up in her heart. She shouted at the entire banquet hall.
Hearing the commotion, the guests rushed over. Seeing Li Mei and Carina, they all whispered amongst themselves.
"Carina, stop talking. She's Wang Er Zhu's fiancée. I saw her at the last banquet!"
Just as Carina was about to shout again, a guest recognized Li Mei and quickly ran over to persuade her.
There were many beauties among the affluent families, but a beauty of Li Mei's caliber was a rarity!
And with such status, she was even rarer!
"Miss Lin, don't talk nonsense. Such a lowly person is not worthy of Mr. Wang. Oh... do you also like Mr. Wang, so you want to attract his attention in this way!"
Hearing this, Carina was stunned, a flicker of surprise in her eyes. But in an instant, she seemed to have figured something out, and looked at the kind lady who was trying to persuade her with an air of having seen through everything.
"I do like Mr. Wang, but I disdain to use such methods. Anyway, she is Mr. Wang's fiancée. Believe it or not!"
Carina's words made Miss Lin ashamed and indignant. She blushed and said this before retreating.
A small number of guests who recognized Li Mei also stood in the crowd, suppressing their laughter and waiting to watch the show.
This foreign woman was truly foolish. Who else could she have provoked but Wang Er Zhu!
"Woman, with your temperament and looks, you are definitely not Wang Er Zhu's fiancée, I guarantee it!"
Deep blue eyes instantly appeared before Li Mei. Looking at the contempt and certainty in her eyes, Li Mei was too lazy to waste any more words on her.
With such confidence, even the drunken old men in Shiliu Village were more sober than her!
"Carina, you'd better shut your mouth. This is not a place for you to make a scene!"
Just as Carina was about to continue her taunts, a familiar voice suddenly came from afar.
She looked up and saw Keiko Shoutian walking over with two glasses of red wine.
Keiko Shoutian glared fiercely at Carina. Although she didn't know what was happening, she could guess that someone was bullying Li Mei!
Damn it, she had only gone to get some drinks, and unexpectedly such a thing had happened!
