Chapter 314: You Cannot Be a Phoenix, Even if You Have Risen From the Ashes

Look at what she’s doing. Su Qingsang honestly thinks that her presence here can win her the approval of everyone present. Does she really think that she can be a princess if she puts on royal robes? That’s amusing and naive at its best.

“Apologize,” Su Qingsang said calmly, looking Qiu Junjiao unflinchingly in the eye.

“What did you say?” Qiu Junjiao widened her eyes nonchalantly. She was asking as if she did not catch what was said.

“I said, apologize.”

Qiu Junjiao scoffed ostentatiously and she turned to throw Luo Meishan and Song Youhe, who were standing next to her, a look. The duo had been observing the interaction between Su Qingsang and Qiu Junjiao from afar. When they realized that it had turned into an altercation, they went over to back Qiu Junjiao up.

“Are you girls aware that someone’s personality changed after she got more money?”

Luo Meishan smirked. “That’s only natural. After all, that person was once lowly, like a crow. Now that she has gained access to high society, she’s under the false impression that she is as prized as a phoenix.”

“Isn’t that right?” Song Youhe covered her mouth conspicuously and let out a haughty chuckle. She scanned Su Qingsang from head to toe. “What a pity. She is still as low as a crow even though she has gained access to high society. She can never be as exquisite as a phoenix.”

It was crystal clear to Su Qingsang that these women were here to pick a fight.

Some distance away, Li Qianxue espied the altercation while she was engaged in a conversation with a guest. She frowned slightly but had no intention to get involved.

If Su Qingsang is not able take care of this little embroilment independently, then Huo Jinyao will soon tire of being with an incompetent woman.

Su Qingsang could feel the eyes of the people around bore into her. Some were trying to be inconspicuous while some blatantly looked on with interest. She was still holding the glass of juice and continued to look at Qiu Junjiao intently. “You have such a callous attitude; I guess you have no intention of apologizing for your behavior?”

“What did you say? Apologize? Why should I apologize?” Qiu Junjiao spread her hands open, her demeanor condescending. “I’m afraid I don’t have the habit of apologizing.”

“Really?” Su Qingsang then nodded as she fixed her gaze on Qiu Junjiao. Before the latter could react, she threw the rest of the fruit juice at her with a swift motion.

The juice splattered on Qiu Junjiao’s bosom and it mirrored the part of Su Qingsang stained with fruit juice.

“You...” Qiu Junjiao widened her eyes and glowered at Su Qingsang. She could not believe that this insignificant illegitimate daughter was behaving in such an audacious and presumptuous manner. “Su Qingsang, how dare you?”

“Why shouldn’t I dare?” Su Qingsang stood upright with her head held high. Her disposition exuded her unwavering boldness and confidence.

Qiu Junjiao was livid. She lifted the glass of wine in her hand and was about to pour it on Su Qingsang when Su Qingsang shot out her hand at lightning speed to grab hold of it.

Su Qingsang snatched the glass of wine from Qiu Junjiao and threw the drink on the latter’s face.

Qiu Junjiao instinctively snapped her eyes shut as the red wine hit her face. She lost her poise as she clumsily wiped her face a few times. Despite having dried her face, there were still traces of wine on it. The humiliation she felt outweighed the discomfort of being in wet clothes.

She looked resentfully at Su Qingsang. “Su Qingsang, how dare you?”

Su Qingsang placed the wine glass casually on the table beside her. “Hmm, I definitely dare.”

Since she was bold enough to pick a fight with me, why should I spare her humiliation?

Qiu Junjiao breathed hard and fast. Without a second thought, she raised her hand to strike Su Qingsang on her face.

Su Qingsang took a step back to avoid being slapped by Qiu Junjiao. Missing her target, Qiu Junjiao moved forward in another attempt to strike Su Qingsang. She was determined to teach Su Qingsang a lesson.

Someone grabbed Qiu Junjiao’s hand to halt her action. She was caught off-guard and whirled around to find out who had stopped her. She was surprised to see who was holding her back.
