Chapter 426 Humiliation
In the Xu family''s hall.
Their hall was filled with guests.
The birthday banquet at the Xu family was bustling with activity.
All the business circle celebrities, government elites and half of Yanjing''s rich and powerful had all
gathered here today.
The protagonist of this party had yet to turn up and everyone in the hall was chatting happily.
Melodious music was yed in the luxurious hall.
Sessful men held a wine ss in hand while they happily chatted with graceful and beautiful
women.
A high society banquet like this was the best opportunity to expand one''s connections.
Then a beautiful woman finally walked out from inside.
Everyone went quiet immediately.
An elegant young woman with plump breasts dressed in a long snow-white dress appeared before the
crowd. She walked up to her seat as everyone looked at her with anticipation.
Her father was Xu Feng-Liang, the head of the Xu family from Yanjing, and she was his eldest
daughter, Xu Mei-Feng.
After Xu Mei-Feng appeared, she enthusiastically walked right up to the highest point in the hall.
Since it was her birthday banquet, she naturally sat on the main seat as the star of the show.
"Miss, are we ready to begin?" asked the butler respectfully as he came close to Xu Mei-Feng.

Xu Mei-Feng proudly smiled as she said, "Okay, we can begin. Also, don''t forget to show Lei a live
broadcast. Let her see how grand her cousin''s birthday banquet is so that she can see how far apart
we are. She must understand that her father is no longer head of the Xu family, so she is no longer the
eldest daughter of the family. Tell that cousin of mine to behave and set her attitude right. If she is
obedient, then the Xu family will ensure that her wedding is a grand affair. Or else, don''t me us for
embarrassing her."
Xu Mei-Feng''s words sounded cold and smug as she spoke proudly.
Xu Mei-Feng had always disliked Xu Lei since they were children.
Although Xu Mei-Feng was the firstborn daughter of the Xu family, her cousin, Xu Lei, undoubtedly
stole all the spotlight because her father was the head of the Xu family.
But fortunately, Xu Lei''s parents died in an ident, so Xu Mei-Feng''s father rose to the position. Xu
Mei-Feng''s status naturally rose with the tides ever since, and she snatched everything Xu Lei had in
the Xu family previously.
Yet Xu Mei-Feng was still very displeased by her cousin''s arrogant ways. Xu Lei was a maverick and
refused to be disciplined by Xu Mei-Feng.
"Xu Lei, oh Xu Lei, do you still think you''re the eldest daughter of the Xu family? I will let youpletely
understand on my birthday banquet today that I have already trampled you beneath my feet!” thought
Xu Mei-Feng haughtily.
She knew it was Xu Lei''s birthday as well today.
Xu Mei-Feng was born a few hours earlier and became Xu Lei''s older cousin when both of them were
born into the Xu family.
But so what if she knew? Xu Mei-Feng deliberately didn''t allow the Xu family to celebrate Xu Lei''s
birthday to embarrass her.
After Xu Mei-Feng announced that the banquet hadmenced, all their guests started presenting
their gifts.
"I, T''ang En-Long, from the T''ang family south of the city, presents a pair of white jade bracelets. I wish
Miss Xu a happy birthday."
"The CEO of Longxiang Group presents a tinum ne. He wishes Miss Xu a happy birthday and
hopes you stay youthful forever!”
"I, Su Rong, from the Su family north of the city, presents..."
The guests stepped forward one after another to congratte her and present their gifts.
A mountain of gifts piled up in front of Xu Mei-Feng in a matter of moments.
Xu Mei-Feng felt exceptionally proud when she heard all the guests congratting her respectfully.
After all, no other birthday parties in Yanjing could rival Xu Mei-Feng''s and attract so many
distinguished guests toe from near and far.
Xu Mei-Feng beamed at her sess as everyone congratted her respectfully. It fed her ego so
immensely that she felt like she was floating in the air.
"Just look at how haughty Xu Mei-Feng is. It''s killing me. Xu Mei-Feng is out to humiliate you, Miss Xu!
She especially sent a TV to your room so that you could see her birthday banquet live. She''s clearly
out to embarrass you. She''s really too much!"
After seeing how proud Xu Mei-Feng was on the LCD screen and hearing all the guests congratting
her respectfully, Lin Wen-Jing almost went mad with fury.
Xu Lei''s pretty little face was somewhat pale too. No one knew how dejected she was in her heart.
Although Xu Lei did her best to remain calm, she couldn''t help feeling sad when she witnessed the
huge disparity.
After all, every woman wanted to be important, garner attention, and be the most dazzling person at
their birthday parties.
Xu Lei wanted to turn off the TV since it depressed her, but Xu Mei-Feng wouldn''t let her have her way.
Someone was still standing outside watching to ensure that they didn''t turn off the live feed for Xu Mei-
Feng''s birthday banquet.
Inside the hall of the Xu residence.
It continued to bustle with activity.
A young and handsome man smiled as he stepped out from the crowd. Then he congratted Xu Mei-
Feng with admiration in his eyes, "Mei-Feng, this nine-carat diamond ring is for you. Happy birthday
and I hope you will have a life as dazzling as this diamond ring.''
The young man spoke deeply. His admiration and love for Xu Mei-Feng were particrly obvious.
''Young Master Xing Tian, thank you. Please ce it there,” said Xu Mei-Feng with a lukewarm smile.
Xu Mei-Feng had long known that Xing
Tian fancied her.
Although Xing Tian looked good and was the heir of the Xing family, they were a second rate family in
Yanjing. The Xing family couldn''t hold the candle to the Xue family and definitely couldn''tpete with
the top four influential families.
"How dare a louse from a second rate family try to hit on me? Dream on! Only someone like the Xue
family''s eldest son is good enough for me,” thought Xu Mei-Feng contemptuously as she looked at
Xing Tian with a fake warm smile on her face.
But Xu Mei-Feng didn''t intend to make things clear to Xing Tian and found it better to just lead him on.
It wasn''t a bad idea to have a dog like him around since he cared so much about her.
"I, Xue Ming-Hua, the second son of the Xue family, presents a jade hairpin from the Qing dynasty and
wishes Miss Xu a happy birthday!"
Another young man walked over.
The young man had a weak gait while his face was wan, and he seemed particrly skinny. He clearly
ended up sickly from indulging in too many sensual pleasures.
Xu Mei-Feng''s lovely eyes instantly lit up when she heard that the Xue family was here.
"Haha, Ming-Hua, we will be family soon. There''s no need to be so formal. Even if youe empty-
handed, I won''t get upset," said Xu Mei-Feng as she smiled and weed him.
That''s right, this Xue Ming-Hua was Xu Lei''s fiance.
The Xue family couldn''tpare to the top four influential families in Yanjing.
But they were still an outstanding family.
Also, the Xue family has been making progress at breakneck speed. If they started with a stronger
family foundation, they would probably be one of Yanjing''s top four influential families by now.
Now that the Xu family was declining, they wanted to get connected with up anding families in
Yanjing like the Xue family. The Xu family could survive for another hundred years with the Xue family''s
support.
"Oh yes, where''s your older brother?" asked Xu Mei-Feng quizzically as she looked at Xue Ming-Hua.
Xu Mei-Feng had fancied Xue Ming-Hua''s older brother for a long time. Xu Mei-Feng did her utmost to
make Xu Lei and Xue Ming-Hua''s marriage happen so that she could do the Xue family a favor and
create a good impression of herself. Then Xu Mei-Feng could get closer to Xue Ming-Hua''s older
brother.
After all, Xue Ming-Hua was a rich yboy and idled around doing nothing all the time, so men like him
were below Xu Lei.
Now that he could marry a woman as pretty, talented and pure as Xu Lei, it was a sheer windfall for
him.
