A woman’s status is definitely not something that can be reflected just by wearing a couple of nice clothes and discussing some topics for socialites. Yu Minglang and his family used just one engagement party to tell everyone that Chen Xiaoqian’s position in this family is irreplaceable.

Guests either envied Qian or were jealous and pessimistic, but no matter what, for many years to come, as long as Qian holds the title of the fourth daughter-in-law of the Yu Family, no one dares to trample on her like they did before.

With just one engagement party, more grand than Mr. Yu’s second son’s wedding, anyone with eyes could see that Qian should not be provoked.

Not long ago, these people were certain that Qian would never enter the Yu Family’s door. But Qian not only entered, she did so in such a manner. The affairs of this world are truly unpredictable.

Through this engagement party, Qian also understood one thing: these so-called wealthy and influential people are not much different from her poor relatives in certain respects. Those with status don’t necessarily have high quality.

Wherever there are people, there are cliques.

Hai Zhao was being very attentive, serving dishes and cracking jokes for Xiaoxi. Yu Mingxi sat steadily, like a queen.

Mrs. Yu, having finished greeting relatives, came over and seeing Yu Mingxi eating so heartily, felt her teeth itch.

"Do you really think you’re a guest? Why don’t you help entertain the guests instead of sitting here eating?" How could she give birth to such a daughter!

"Entertain who? Isn’t Yu Laomao busy with his precious little darling? Why should I join the commotion?"

If there were no one around, Mrs. Yu would have slapped this girl a few times. Seeing Yu Minglang bringing Qian over, she could only suppress her inner anger and whisper.

"It’s a good thing Qian doesn’t mind these things. Otherwise, having a big sister-in-law like you would be nothing but trouble!"

Whether Qian’s family has any opinions about this, being the big sister-in-law, acting like a guest the whole time, eating and drinking without helping her brother or sister-in-law, it feels like Yu Mingxi is just visiting as a guest.

"How do you know she doesn’t mind? That girl has plenty of thoughts. Xiaozhao, peel a shrimp for me!"

"Sure thing~" Hai Zhao happily replied, seeing Mrs. Yu’s expression of restrained anger, he got up to play the mediator.

"Auntie, Xiaoxi just got off the plane, and her altitude sickness hasn’t subsided. She’s not feeling well, so Minglang and Qian can’t blame her for this. Don’t be mad. If there’s anything that needs doing, I’ll handle it!"

"Yes, yes! I’ve given my gift, what do they have to complain about!" Yu Mingxi nodded, wearing an expression of an obedient baby.

Mrs. Yu was so angry she was about to explode, but just then Yu Minglang and Qian came over, so she had to swallow her anger and smiled brilliantly at Qian.

"Qian, come, this is Mingxi, our third child. You two are about the same age and must have a lot in common."

"Several years apart, how can we be the same age? I’m not like Yu Laomao, chasing after younger ones, right Qian?"

As soon as Yu Mingxi spoke, the atmosphere at the table turned awkward.

All the immediate family of the Yu Family were sitting at this table, and after Yu Mingxi finished speaking, everyone was watching Qian to see how she would react.

Mrs. Yu spat several times in her heart.

Look at the kind of children she raised, just now on stage, Yu Minglang almost gave Mrs. Yu a heart attack. Her originally carefree daughter suddenly turned into a top-notch big sister-in-law, and none of them could stay calm!

This was Qian’s first close contact with Yu Mingxi; before, she mostly saw her on TV. Qian didn’t quite understand why Yu Minglang’s twin sister showed so much hostility upon their first meeting.

A typical woman’s first reaction might be to get angry, feeling as if she was hit over the head, causing embarrassment.

Qian didn’t know much about Yu Mingxi.

But within the shortest few seconds, she concluded the following points:

1. Rebellious, dared to go against the family wish and entered the entertainment industry.

2. Skilled and talented, became a top singer in the shortest time.

3. Has a good relationship with Yu Minglang, although Yu Minglang refers to her with words like ’idiot’, ’fool’, ’willful girl’, the fact that he mentions her frequently means Yu Mingxi has an unusual status in Yu Minglang’s heart.

By combining the above information, Qian immediately understood one thing, the woman sitting in front of her could only be outsmarted, not outmatched. It’s not that she can’t go all out, but if she does and harms Yu Mingxi, she would also suffer serious damage.

And Yu Mingxi just gives off this rebellious vibe as if she’s eager to go down with the whole world. Perhaps she’s expecting an intense catfight with Qian, hoping they’d both go down together. In this state, Qian could only describe it with four words: nothing to live for.

Qian hasn’t had much interaction with her, but she knows she had never wronged Yu Mingxi. She has no reason to target her. Without a reason, it indicates there must be some unknown secret behind this.

So when facing Yu Mingxi’s direct provocation, Qian merely gave a faint smile, not confronting it head-on.

"Yu Mingxi, enough is enough." It was Yu Minglang who spoke, hearing his sister’s attitude towards Qian, in a deep tone, he issued a warning.

"I’m talking to her, what’s it to you? Don’t stand in her way, come on, let me see what magic power this little girl has to enchant Yu Laomao like this."

The opening was already bad enough, but this sentence was full of gunpowder.

Mrs. Yu’s face turned green at that moment.

When did her daughter become like this? Such unreasonable behavior should be what Mrs Yu would do, right? Her seemingly rebellious yet restrained daughter, how did she become like this?

Before Mrs. Yu could explode, Yu Minglang was already unhappy. He wanted to fix this long-out-of-sight, provoking idiot of a sister, but Qian held his arm, applied a little pressure, signaling him not to speak.

The entire table was focused on the reaction between Yu Mingxi and Chen Xiaoqian, the atmosphere was on the brink of eruption.

"I have no magic power, but I have magic. Not only can I enchant your brother, but even you will have to like me."

With one sentence, Qian managed to turn the heavily charged atmosphere around. Originally locking eyes fiercely with her brother, Yu Mingxi turned her head to look at Qian.

"Are you sure?" Her eyes showed a hint of curiosity, huh, she’s not angry with me? According to Yu Mingxi’s findings, Chen Xiaoqian is definitely not one to be trifled with, yet having given her such a large challenge, she handled it with ease?

"Yes, I’m sure."

"Haha, Qian really knows how to joke, hahaha!" Hai Zhao immediately rounded things off, fearing Yu Mingxi would be disrespectful in public. Qian gave Yu Mingxi a step down, and he quickly followed.
