If the bracelet had been carelessly rubbed off while she was touching up her makeup, it would have been okay, but if it was⦠Rong Weiweiâs heart pounded nonstop, as she opened her mouth, unable to rest easy. She grabbed the manâs arm, her expression anxious, âI canât, I still want to go look for it.â
She was also out of luck; just at that moment, a wealthy lady clad in mink had arrived at their table.
All the flash lights and cameras then turned towards them.
Rong Weiwei was suddenly enveloped in a bright light and pursed her lips. Shi Mufeng quietly gave her a suggestive look, and although she was still worried about the missing bracelet, she had no choice but to suppress her feelings and manage a graceful smile in such a situation.
After the auction process of the dinner was over, it naturally progressed to the banquet time. According to custom, the host would generally have a social drink with the person who had bid a large amount of money on their auction item. So, even though Lin Zhiya didnât really like the person who unexpectedly bid on her collection, she still came over due to her noble upbringing.
âMrs. Lin, â Shi Mufeng, although not exactly familiar with Lin Zhiya, did have business dealings with her family. Hence, his calling her âMrs. Linâ was not too abrupt.
âMufeng is here too? Why didnât your mother come today?â
âMy mother is abroad, she called me earlier to make sure I would attend your charity dinner on her behalf.â
âI see.â
âBy the way, Mrs. Lin, this is my girlfriend, Wei.â His suave appearance attracted the eyes of many ladies of high society, which, in turn, made the looks directed at Rong Weiwei standing beside him filled with envy and jealousy.
Rong Weiwei thoroughly enjoyed these envious and jealous stares, and for a moment, forgot all about the bracelet, obediently and sensibly calling out to
Lin Zhiya, âMrs. Li.â
Lin Zhiya glanced at her, and the polite smile on her face gradually grew colder, uttering a noncommittal âhmmâ as a recognition of her.
âDoes your mother know you have a girlfriend?â
Her lack of courtesy made Rong Weiweiâs face flush alternating shades of green and red, the previously sweet smile instantly freezing on her lips.
Jiang Meiqi was present today too, but she deliberately did not walk with Rong Weiwei and her group, instead sitting with a few high-class ladies she was close with.
Initially, when she saw Shi Mufeng introduce Rong Weiwei to Mrs. Li, she felt secretly pleased. Yet, upon seeing her beloved daughterâs unnatural expression on her face, she was instantly livid, her mouth awry with anger.
âThat damned widow!â
Her voice was very low, hardly audible to anyone, only the noblewoman closest to her heard, startled, she looked at Jiang Meiqi, âWho are you talking about?â
Jiang Meiqi then realized she had lost composure, took a deep breath, gathered her emotions, and forcibly withdrew her gaze from Rong Weiweiâs direction. She laughed trying to cover for herself, âI didnât say anyone; you misheard. I was talking about mosquitoes. Lately at night, there seem to be more mosquitoes. Just last night, I got a bite on my arm. Once bitten, the red bumps last for days and are so bothersome.â
âYou were talking about mosquitoes? I thought you were sayingâ¦â She had thought Jiang Meiqi had gone crazy, talking about Mrs. Li.
If that were the case, she would need to keep her distance from Jiang Meiqi.
âOf course, who else could I be talking about?â Jiang Meiqiâs eyes flashed as she suppressed the rage in her heart, smiling as she deftly changed the subject.
On the other side, after a brief moment of awkwardness, Rong Weiwei proactively responded to the question that had embarrassed her, âIâve met the aunt before, sheâs very nice. She even talked to me about you, saying you really like collecting jewelry. Iâm also very interested in jewelry. I even studied jewelry design for a while. A few days ago, I luckily got a draft from Master Berry.. I donât suppose I could I ask you to help me verify its authenticity?â
