Amid everyone's expectant gaze, An Nan slightly nodded: "Well, I'm a captain at Vince Airlines."
Captain, the crowd was taken aback again. They originally thought she was at most a co-pilot, but did not expect she would be a captain, a young female captain at that, certainly worthy of awe and admiration.
The men admired her, naturally, the women were not ready to concede.
Huo Bingxuan stood among the crowd, staring at An Nan with disdain, curled her lips and said, "It's just someone who flies a plane, what's so impressive about that."
Her resentment was partly because her spotlight had been stolen by someone else, and partly out of unwillingness. Since this woman entered, Lin Mubai's gaze had been fixed on her. As a woman's instinct kicked in, a sense of alert rose in her heart; she felt this woman was a threat to her.
If the opportunity arises, she certainly wouldn't easily let this woman off. If she could suppress her, that would be perfect, it's better to nip hope in the bud rather than let it take root and sprout.
Confronted with public provocation, An Nan merely smiled gently without making any rebuttal. After all these years, she wasn't a naïve woman without brains, she naturally understood that those who came to attend Xi Shaoqi's birthday banquet must be from significant backgrounds. It's not that she's afraid of them, but rather there's no need to stir up unnecessary disputes.
Seeing her words land on cotton without any reaction, Huo Bingxuan's anger welled up from within, just as she was about to speak out again.
The protagonist of the day, Xi Shaoqi, casually said something that successfully silenced her. He always disliked Huo Bingxuan, if it weren't for considering that her brother, Huo Boxuan, was his good friend, she wouldn't have been present at their usual gatherings at all. Her mocking An Nan now was an even graver offense.
Then, Xi Shaoqi unleashed his venomous side: "Indeed, flying a plane is not of much significance, but it's at least much more impressive than those who only know how to spend money at home all day like a parasite."
Xi Shaoqi's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone to hear.
In the upper class, it's well known that the young Miss Huo, Huo Bingxuan, is just a spendthrift vase, arguably useless. If it weren't for having a father and brother who make money, she could only be a waste.
After graduating from a third-rate university, Miss Huo spent her days at home, either going out shopping or dining with friends, truly a money-spending parasite.
Despite the Huo Family's influence, even knowing this young lady is essentially useless, there are still many men eager to marry into the Huo Family. After all, marrying the young Miss Huo could directly save decades of struggle, which is tempting to many men.
However, among these men are certainly not Lin Mubai and Xi Shaoqi; these two are not intimidated by the Huo Family's power, hence Xi Shaoqi dared to blatantly and mercilessly say such things.
Huo Boxuan also knew his good friend's temper well; from his expression, he clearly realized he was truly angry this time. Although he felt injustice for his sister in his heart, it was indeed Bing Xuan's fault just now; he had nothing to say, and could only timely pull his sister away.
Clearly, compared to her brother Huo Boxuan, Huo Bingxuan was much more brainless.
