After knocking on the door, Tang Jing stepped back to smooth out the creases on her dress and make herself look even more presentable. After all, Tang Jing was about to meet Feng Jialing, and she needed to give the lady a good impression.

Unexpectedly, it was Feng Jialing who answered the door. Ouyang Qi was out running errands and had yet to return. As such, she was the only one at home.

Tang Jing had shown up without warning, wanting to give Ouyang Qi a surprise.

Ouyang Qi had also not mentioned Tang Jing to Feng Jialing. Ouyang Qi had a feeling that Feng Jialing would disapprove because Tang Jing was an actress.

Even though Feng Jialing was currently on poor terms with her eldest daughter, her sense of superiority was not going to wane over the worsening situation. After all, she had been a rich man's wife for so many years. So what if Feng Jialing's daughter was treating her coldly now?

Deep down, she still saw herself as the elite and aloof woman whom people needed to pay their respects to.

Ouyang Qi was well aware of this and knew he could not bring up Tang Jing right now. It was simply not the right time.

When Feng Jialing opened the door to find Tang Jing standing there, the first thing she asked was, “Who are you looking for?”

That being said, when Tang Jing and Ouyang Qing worked together, Tang Jing did come into contact with Feng Jialing once at Orchid Club.

However, Feng Jialing did not take Tang Jing seriously at all. Feng Jialing remembered nothing of their encounter.

“Hello, Madam. My name is Tang Jing.” Tang Jing nodded and bowed politely.

“Tang Jing? I have no idea who you are.”

After saying this, Feng Jialing promptly shut the door in Tang Jing's face.

Ever since Ouyang Duo's demise, Feng Jialing had been in a general state of malaise. On top of that, her eldest daughter's coldness toward her further exacerbated the insecurity she already had.

This placed Feng Jialing in a heightened state of wariness. As such, she had no desire to entertain sudden visits from the likes of Tang Jing.

What if Tang Jing were sent over by someone with a grudge or worse, a reporter?

Before Tang Jing could react, she was turned away.
