Chapter 112 They all call me Madam Li
"Forget about it. These bad things will never happen to a family like ours. The Fu family allowed their only son to marry Qin Yunian. No matter what happens in the future, it will be their family affair and has nothing to do with us." Then he began to change the subject: "Mrs. Li, I heard that there are several jewelry auctions in Kyoto recently. Do you want to go and have some fun?"
Zhan Ruoyin smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later. There are a lot of things going on at home. My brother-in-law is staying abroad alone. I am worried. I plan to go and see how he is doing in a few days. If I can catch up with him when I come back, we can make an appointment to go together."
Madam Sheng knew that Li Jingyan had done something that was heinous to both humans and gods, so she naturally understood that Zhan Ruoyin hated Li Jingyan very much, and that her concern for Li Jingyan was just a pretense. What she really wanted to do was probably to warn Li Jingyan to behave himself.
Madam Sheng didn't dare to say anything to Zhan Ruoyin about this matter, so she could only nod and say, "Okay, mother-in-law, you are a gentle and kind person. It is a blessing for Li Jingyan to have a sister-in-law like you."
Zhan Ruoyin sneered. Li Jingyan was a born bad guy. It was her misfortune to meet him.
At this time, several rich ladies were holding hands, looking like sisters with deep affection, and were very affectionate, and were looking for a place to avoid the sun.
The lady in the middle was surrounded by other wealthy ladies, which undoubtedly showed her unique status. Some people were even smiling and flattering her: "Hey, Madam Yi, you are almost 55 years old now, but you are as well-maintained as a 20-year-old girl. We are standing in front of you, just like you are the elegant and noble wife of the marquis in the ancient marquis' mansion, and we are the maids beside you."
Mrs. Yi wore sunglasses, bright red lips, big brown wavy hair, and haute couture clothing, looking fashionable and stylish.
Someone was holding a fan to fan her and shade her from the sun. Hearing this, the corners of her mouth curled up and she glanced at the person who spoke. Who wouldn't like to be praised by others? She felt very happy in her heart, raised her chin proudly, and said slowly:
"You are all in your forties or fifties, but you are still so slick and have no elegance at all. No wonder those rich ladies look down on you."
Some rich ladies were still cheering: "Yes, yes, those rich ladies look down on us. As long as Mrs. Yi is willing to have a heart-to-heart chat with us, we will be satisfied."
"You are one of the most famous ladies in Kyoto. We are all happy to make friends with you."
Mrs. Yi was tired of hearing this. She curled her lips and said impatiently, "Okay, it's so hot. My skin can't stand the sun. Help me find a cool place. I need to hydrate myself."
"There's a sunshade in front and not many people there. You can go there to avoid the sun." Someone helped Mrs. Yi towards the sunshade in a flattering manner.
It's no wonder they are so fawning. Mrs. Yi's family has a very powerful background. The previous head of the Yi family was a far-sighted and visionary person. In his early years, he served as a younger brother to the Sheng family, one of the three major families in Kyoto, without any complaints.
Decades passed, and the Sheng family recognized the loyalty of the Yi family, so they naturally began to use the Yi family and hold them in high esteem. With the support of the Sheng family, the Yi family's business grew bigger and bigger, their network of contacts became wider, and they became the Sheng family's most valued partner.
The Sheng family is a symbol of power, and the Yi family is a symbol of money. The Sheng family has many branches, many of whom are in high positions. Their words are policies and opportunities for the Yi family to make money.
Most of these rich ladies who flatter Mrs. Yi have a lot of money but few connections. Mrs. Yi is the biggest connection they know at the moment, so they will naturally flock to her to please her.
Mrs. Yi looked from afar and saw two women sitting in the awning. She suddenly felt unhappy: "I have many bad habits and don't like people disturbing my rest."
Someone understood what he meant and quickly said, "I understand. I'll let them leave now."
As they spoke, several wealthy ladies walked towards Zhan Ruoyin. As soon as they reached the awning, they said to Zhan Ruoyin and Madam Sheng in a bossy manner, "Hey, don't stay here. Madam Yi wants to come over to rest. You should go somewhere else."
Zhan Ruoyin was chatting happily, and suddenly heard these words, which was a little funny. Don’t they know who she is? They dared to ask her to stand up and make room for her. Even today’s host, the Fu family, didn’t dare to talk to her like this.
Zhan Ruoyin raised her eyebrows and looked at the elderly women quietly. Their shiny skin almost blinded her eyes. She pursed her lips and said leisurely, "No, I want to rest here too. First come first served. You guys can go somewhere else."
Mrs. Fu had never seen Zhan Ruoyin and Madam Sheng, and thought they were the wives of some small family. When she heard Zhan Ruoyin's arrogant words, her eyes widened and she said angrily, "Have you heard of the Yi family? The person who came is Mrs. Yi, the mistress of the Yi family. Her status and wealth are many times higher than yours. I advise you not to offend Mrs. Yi."
Zhan Ruoyin blinked her eyes and murmured, her eyes looking innocent: "Mrs. Yi? I haven't heard of her. Is she an insurance seller? The person I know also has the last name Yi, but he's a man. He always makes harassing phone calls to ask me to buy insurance. It's very annoying."
The rich lady was choked by this, her face was extremely ugly, and she stared at the woman in front of her who didn't know how to live or die: "You are asking for death. If you don't know, you can check it on your phone now. If you are afraid, just give up your seat quickly, don't make me say it for the third time!"
Zhan Ruoyin crossed her arms, with a cold face, and said unmoved: "No need to check, I just want to stay here. If you don't agree, let Madam Yi come over. Let's fight one-on-one, and whoever wins will get this place."
Zhan Ruoyin was already feeling depressed. She couldn't do anything to Li Jingyan, and she was already feeling aggrieved. Now everyone wanted to bully her. If she continued to endure this, she would really get sick.
Besides, with Zhan Ruoyin's current identity, no one in Kyoto would dare to offend her, so it would be good enough if she didn't offend others.
Madam Sheng looked at Zhan Ruoyin in shock. When did Madam Li become so overbearing? She's really a bit cute.
Mrs. Sheng usually pays close attention to the Sheng family's business, so she naturally knows that there is a partner named Yi. However, that partner is an acquaintance of the third master of the Sheng family, and he has very little contact with Mrs. Sheng's husband, the head of the Sheng family. The Yi family is not qualified to meet Mrs. Sheng and Mr. Sheng.
She leaned over and said to Zhan Ruoyin, "Mother-in-law, I know that the Yi family is just a small business family. They have close ties with my third uncle's family. I guess they rely on my third uncle's influence."
Zhan Ruoyin found it ridiculous. The backers were not the real leaders of the Sheng family, but the soldiers under them acted like they knew the Jade Emperor.
Zhan Ruoyin had a blank expression on her face, and said to Madam Sheng, "Anyway, I won't get up. They won't listen to me when I try to reason with them. I'm too lazy to argue with them. At worst, we can just have a fight. I'm just worried that I have no place to vent my anger."
Madam Sheng wanted to cry but had no tears. They were all cultured people, so why were they so rude? Madam Li was probably still brooding over Li Jingyan's matter and was unhappy, so naturally she wanted to fight with everyone she met.
But given Mrs. Li's identity and status, there was no need for her to give in. To be honest, based on Mrs. Li's previous critical temper, she would probably have been taken home by her husband to write a confession after these people finished their first sentence.
Now that Mrs. Li is so approachable, doesn't cause trouble, and doesn't bother others, they should be secretly happy.
"Vulgar, whose wife are you? How dare you touch someone in the upper class? You are really embarrassing your man."
Zhan Ruoyin stood up. She was tall and wore high heels. She walked in front of the ladies and looked down at them. She smiled and said calmly, "They all call me Madam Li. My husband died a long time ago, so he can't control me."
