Chapter 124 A Book Appreciation Club Open to Both Men and Women

Then Kong Muqing added, "You poured tea on me, just like those women, trying to get my attention and climb the social ladder!"

"I didn't!" the woman quickly retorted. "It was my fault for accidentally spilling tea on you, young master, but please don't make false accusations!"

These words are very important to a woman's reputation. If she doesn't speak up, what happened to her at the book appreciation event will surely be spread everywhere, and her reputation will be truly ruined.

So even if she was isolated and helpless, she had to stand up and make things clear.

"Still denying it? This book appreciation gathering of Mr. Wuming is not a place for a bunch of ignorant women like you. It's simply an insult to the book appreciation gathering organized by Master Sun."

"I can't believe someone would be so shameless." Liang Suxin and the others immediately couldn't stand up straight.

Don't think they can't tell that Kong Muqing is subtly referring to them as women, and that they saw Chen Baosheng next to Kong Muqing.

Chen Baosheng, that guy, also made veiled criticisms of them and Mr. Wuming's books at the book appreciation event last time, and even expressed his disdain for Mr. Wuming's vernacular stories.

Unexpectedly, not long after, he actually came to participate in Mr. Wuming's book appreciation event. Is this a slap in the face?

It seems that one is indeed influenced by one's surroundings; all crows under heaven are equally black.

Kong Muqing and the others turned their heads in the direction of the sound, and four women slowly walked forward.

He looked at Kong Muqing with a look of disgust, which infuriated Kong Muqing.

"Tch, mind your own business."

“We originally didn’t want to get involved in this, but you dragged us into it. If someone is insulted, shouldn’t they be allowed to stand up and insult back?”

"When did I insult you?" Kong Muqing was intimidated by their imposing manner, and her arrogance diminished somewhat.

"Who was it that was cursing, 'You ignorant women are ruining the book appreciation event hosted by Master Sun'?" Bai Zunxing mimicked Kong Muqing's arrogant tone and demeanor perfectly, making Liang Suxin and the others laugh.

After being reprimanded, Kong Muqing's neck and face turned red, but she still stubbornly retorted, "Am I wrong? You women shouldn't be here at this book appreciation gathering in the first place."

“Young lady, if you leave this book club on your own initiative, we will not pursue the matter.” Chen Baosheng suddenly spoke up, but he was speaking to the woman in front of him. It was a seemingly gentle sentence, but it contained a hidden threat.

With Chen Baosheng by his side giving him confidence, Kong Muqing wasn't so afraid anymore.

The woman hesitated, but she didn't want to leave. After all, this was an opportunity she had worked so hard to get. She had only come here to discuss the plot and find like-minded people, but she hadn't expected to encounter something like this.

Looking at the oppressive aura emanating from the several seemingly respectable men in front of her, she was afraid. But! She clenched her fists. Why should she leave on her own? She hadn't done anything wrong. What she did was just an accident. She had already apologized.

"I'm sorry, I won't leave. I've already apologized. It was my fault. How much did your clothes cost? I can pay for them."

"Fine! Five hundred taels, are you going to pay me back?" Kong Muqing smiled smugly.

"Even the most expensive piece of cloth in Bianjing only costs 100 taels for 500 taels. You're asking for the moon!" Bai Zunxing, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore.

"This dress of mine took the embroiderer a lot of time and effort to make, how could it not be worth five hundred taels? If you don't have the money, then get out of here! Remember, get out!" Kong Muqing had a smug smile on his face.

"Even rats have skin, but humans have no skin!" Shameless and shameless, they are invincible! Bai Zunxing cursed.

These words enraged Kong Muqing. He felt it was incredibly humiliating to be insulted by a woman, especially in front of Chen Baosheng.

In order to demonstrate his abilities to Chen Baosheng, he quickly stepped forward and was about to raise his hand.

But Bai Zunxing anticipated his movements, jumped up quickly, swung his arm in a wide arc, and slapped him across the face with a "smack".

The crisp sound of the slap startled not only Kong Muqing but also everyone around her.

The slap, delivered with considerable force after being swung around, knocked his face to the side, leaving a clear handprint.

His raised hand froze in mid-air. Bai Zunxing, fearing that he would react and retaliate, quickly jumped to the side and moved far away from him.

"You're so thick-skinned, you even hurt my hand when you slapped me." Bai Zunxing, who had just slapped him, was still trying to act innocent.

Kong Muqing was furious and started to speak recklessly, "You bunch of talentless and immoral women shouldn't be at the book club. Can you even understand the books written by Mr. Wuming? All you do is read those love stories! Your heads are full of mush!"

He probably didn't know that before this, Mr. Wuming had written melodramatic romance novels. It was this book that pioneered the reading market for women in ancient times. Mr. Wuming also never denied that he initially wrote these novels to make money. It was because of the novels he wrote before that he became who he is today.

However, Kong Muqing's words actually revealed some problems.

"Ha, have you really read Mr. Wuming's stories?! You actually dare to spout nonsense and speak recklessly just to slander us women!"

Bai Zunxing's eyes turned cold. How could a fan of Mr. Wuming tolerate such a thing?

Kong Muqing felt a little guilty about what she said, because he really had never read Mr. Wuming's books.

He initially disdained to watch it, but recently his novel "The Little Chef of Jin Dynasty" has become very popular and has been considered by the teachers at the academy to be of great research value, since the honeycomb briquettes in the novel have benefited many people.

Even Sun Xianren held a book appreciation event for this, and only then did he read "The Little Chef of Jinchao," after which he was amazed by its brilliance.

From then on, he came to like Mr. Wuming, but he couldn't quite accept his old stories and denied liking the old Mr. Wuming.

He always felt that these women couldn't understand Mr. Wuming's stories at all, and were not worthy of reading them, so he also felt very disgusted with this group of women who came to the book appreciation meeting.

However, Kong Muqing's words made the women present uncomfortable, and they all cast angry glances at her. But since they were all ladies from respectable families, they had to maintain their manners and did not step forward to argue.

"So what if we slander you women? You women should just stay at home and be good wives and mothers, and refrain from interfering in men's affairs." It was Chen Baosheng who suddenly stood up and said this, but he was looking at Ling Luo when he said it.

Chen Baosheng gave a signal, and several of his followers stepped forward, seemingly ready to make a move.

"It's not right for you guys to hit a woman!"

Suddenly, a clear male voice rang out from the side.

Lan Sinian, the top scholar who had been watching the excitement from the crowd, stopped them.
