Chapter 1123: [828] How dare you! (Requesting monthly pass and subscription) Chapter 1123: [828] How dare you! (Requesting monthly pass and subscription) Wang Shiwen really did not want to attend any more banquets; all she wanted now was to dedicate her time to cultivation.
But this time, it was her father who spoke in person.
“I have finally gotten the chance to attend this event, and I want to take you with me so you can gain some experience. If you don’t want to interact with them, just find a place to grab something to eat. Your grandfather is now willing to make concessions, which clearly indicates his dissatisfaction with the main family… This is our opportunity, mine as well, it’s just a pity you’re not a boy. By the way, isn’t your master a Ninth Rank cultivator? You should also invite him; I have the authority to do so.”
“Invite my master?”
Wang Shiwen displayed a slight hesitation only when mentioning Pei Jinye.
“I don’t know if he has time.”
Her father, however, did not seem disappointed, and he earnestly instructed her, “Whether he has time or not, you need to show your willingness… He’s not making you his Closed-door Disciple, remember to make an effort to stand out.”
“My master is different from those people outside,” Wang Shiwen mumbled softly.
Nevertheless, her father simply smiled and said, “You’re still too young; you need to understand how the world works. This is a gesture of your intention, and besides, these high-level gatherings are attended by many powerful figures. It’s also a good opportunity for him to make new acquaintances… Elder Lu Su will be there too, and they know each other.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Shiwen nodded, “I’ll try, but I can’t guarantee success.”
However, to her surprise, Pei Jinye actually agreed to attend, which stunned Wang Shiwen as she remembered that he did not usually enjoy such events.
What she did not know was that Lu Su had also called, asking for help with an issue, otherwise Pei Jinye would indeed have not participated in such an activity.
…
“Has your master arrived yet?”
At the entrance,
Wang Jianning looked towards his daughter and asked quietly.
Wang Shiwen shook her head: “Not yet, but he said he will come.”
Seeing more and more important guests entering, Wang Jianning became somewhat anxious and spoke softly, “Wait for him here and let me know when he arrives. I need to go greet people inside; it wouldn’t be proper not to.”
After watching her father leave,
Wang Shiwen stood alone waiting at the entrance to the venue.
Before long,
several luxurious sports cars approached the venue’s entrance.
“That person just now looks familiar,” mentioned the man in curly hair in the passenger seat.
“Who?” asked someone in the back seat.
“That one from the Wang Family, didn’t Young Master Bai pick her out last time… Zhao Man approached her but got rejected.”
“Oh, it’s her, tsk, a collateral branch member dares to reject Young Master Bai? Who is backing her up?”
“Wait, she’s qualified to attend this banquet today?” a female queried in doubt.
“She must have latched onto someone.”
“Shall we go ask?”
“Zhao Man is here; let her ask. Is a member from a collateral line really worth such fuss?” the female sneered disdainfully.
Seeing this reaction, the others reined in their curiosity a bit.
“Zhao Man is here.”
Someone called out.
Someone rolled down the car window and waved at Zhao Man. She jogged over, “Young Master Luo, you’re all here. I was just about to look for you guys.”
“Is that the girl you were talking about earlier?” the man with curly hair pointed towards the figure at the venue entrance.
Initially, Zhao Man did not notice Wang Shiwen.
In her view, their family had to go to great lengths to access an event of such caliber, let alone a nondescript collateral member like Wang Shiwen.
It wasn’t until she actually saw Wang Shiwen that her expression momentarily wavered.
Why should she?
After all, she is the direct descendant of the Zhao Family. Even though the Zhao Family hasn’t had the opportunity to be on the main table yet, in terms of status and means, Wang Shiwen was nowhere near her level.
Moreover, at every gathering, it was only when she extended an invitation did Wang Shiwen have the privilege to join their exclusive circle.
But now, she managed to bypass Zhao Man and show up here.
Zhao Man took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down as she looked at the few key members of their small circle with a smile, pandering, “Did you invite her?”
The girl beside her frowned impatiently, “Are you stupid or what? We told you to recognize people, how could she be someone we invited? Are you really that dumb?”
Zhao Man’s smile was a bit strained.
Though irritated inside, she dared not offend the Third Miss Qin from the Qin family.
Before King appeared, she had been the weakest link in this small team.
According to the law of the jungle that this group believed in, everyone could stomp on her.
That was, until Wang Shiwen showed up.
Only then did she finally shake off her status as the weakest… but it seemed that some problems had arisen now.
The recent assertiveness shown by Wang Shiwen had given her a strong sense of unease.
More than that, resentment.
Back then, she didn’t dare to break free from their control–what gives you, an offshoot, the right to say no?
[What gives you the right!]
“You go ask,” Third Miss Qin said indifferently.
Zhao Man came back to her senses and quickly agreed.
She looked towards where Wang Shiwen was, hadn’t planned to do much, and walked over as usual. However, seeing that people from the Wang Family were talking to her, she didn’t feel it was right to go over directly.
She picked up her phone and called Wang Shiwen first, but what Zhao Man didn’t expect was that her call was hung up.
“She… she dared to hang up on me?”
Zhao Man’s first reaction was disbelief.
But the immediate reaction that followed was–
[How dare she!]
She dialed the number again.
This time, Wang Shiwen waited a moment before answering: “What is it?”
Her attitude was very cold.
Zhao Man’s tone was equally chilly: “Why did you hang up on me?”
“I’m busy. Is there anything else? If not, I’m hanging up!”
Zhao Man was so agitated she almost passed out from anger and said indignantly, “I’m also at the venue, right on your left-hand side. Come over here, Young Master Luo, Miss Qin, and the others are all here.”
Wang Shiwen said nonchalantly, “I’m not free. Anything else? If not, I’m hanging up.”
Zhao Man was stunned.
And while she was still in shock, the call was ended.
She immediately felt a burning sensation on her face.
She swore that she had been oppressed many times in her life, but she had never been so looked down upon by an insignificant offshoot.
She strode forward.
Directly, in anger, she slapped Wang Shiwen’s phone away.
“Are you getting too cocky?”
“Slap!”
Wang Shiwen struck back with a slap.
The same phrase was delivered!
“Are you getting too cocky? Pick up my phone!”
Zhao Man was shocked, holding her face as she looked over.
But Wang Shiwen’s eyes were filled with a cold calmness… this was definitely not the insignificant nobody!
“Who… who exactly are you?” Zhao Man stuttered.
Wang Shiwen slapped her again: “Pick it up, do you understand?”

Zhao Man subconsciously bent down, but as soon as her fingertips touched the phone, the icy feeling brought her back to her senses, and she defiantly withdrew her hand, glaring fiercely at Wang Shiwen.
“Don’t think that just because you found a backer, you can oppose us! In the end, you are still nothing but an offshoot of the Wang Family. What do you have to confront us–slap!”
Wang Shiwen said expressionlessly: “If you keep spouting nonsense, I won’t mind slapping you again!”
Zhao Man burst into tears with a “wa”.
“How could you dare!”
