âMiss Qi, youâre here.â
As another daughter-in-law of the Fang family, the second one, was present here, when Wang Lin saw Qi Yunsheng, she did not address her as Madam Fang but as Miss Qi.
Qi Yunsheng was young, so addressing her as madam would be inappropriate.
Qiao Jiusheng gave Wang Lin an elegant smile and hugged her. After they separated, she said to the girl beside Wang Lin, âCongratulations, Piaopiao.â To congratulate Wu Piaopiao on her success in her studies, Qiao Jiusheng had especially prepared a teenage blue diamond platinum necklace for her. It was a trophy of her love.
This necklace was very popular among teen girls.
Wu Piaopiao accepted the gift box and opened it to take a look. When she saw what it was, her eyes lit up, and she politely thanked Qiao Jiusheng.
Wu Piaopiao was unfamiliar with Qi Yunsheng, so Madam Wang Lin greeted her politely. When Qiao Jiusheng saw other guests coming in, she found an excuse and separated from the mother and daughter duo.
Qiao Jiusheng took a cocktail from a waiter and ran to a corner to take a sip.
She glanced at the men and women in the crowd and was not surprised to see a few familiar figures.
Jiang Jie, Jiang Jieâs mother, Liu Qingya, Wei Xin, and Qiao Jiuyin were all here.
Familiar faces could always be seen on such occasions. That was how the high society circle functioned. Someone unexpected could just be your friendâs close friend. After going around in circles, they were all acquaintances.
Qiao Jiusheng looked at them and suddenly thought of the joke she had seen on Weibo the night before.
A class held a special meeting related to puppy love. The form teacher closed the door and turned around to say to the students, âOnce this door is closed, we will be a family. Whoever dares to fall in love with another person from the class would cause chaos and mess.â
Whether it was through marriage or love, these people were people from the same circle.
Qiao Jiusheng found this funny and could not help but laugh.
This smile was deep, but not a happy one.
She only felt that it was ironic.
Qiao Jiusheng stared at a handsome man who had just entered the cocktail party. That man had his arm around his wife as they attended the cocktail party. The two of them looked loving and harmonious; they politely and beautifully smiled at everyone they met. However, Fang Yusheng had gossiped to her in private that the man was actually gay. He originally had a lover, but for the sake of his familyâs interests, he had chosen to marry the woman.
The manâs boyfriend could not accept this relationship and had kicked him out. On one hand, this man pretended to smile at his wife; on the other, he was secretly looking for his old love.
Isnât it ironic?
Isnât it funny?
âWhy are you smiling like a fool?â Wei Xin walked over to Qiao Jiusheng and kicked her high heels under her dress.
Qiao Jiusheng stopped laughing and patted the seat beside her. âSit.â
Wei Xin lifted her skirt and sat down beside her.
âHow have you been?â
Wei Xin had been busy recently and hadnât contacted her friend much.
Qiao Jiusheng nodded and shamelessly told Wei Xin, âThe husband and wife are loving and are harmonious on the bed. Everything is great.â She touched her stomach and continued, âAh, if only there were a small one, itâll be even more blissful.â
Wei Xin cursed, âShameless.â
Qiao Jiusheng said, âAnyway, Iâm wearing a fake face. I can be as shameless as I want.â
Wei Xin stopped joking with her. She looked at Qiao Jiushengâs face, which could not hide her smile, and seriously asked, âAre you serious with Fang Yusheng?â
Qiao Jiushengâs smile faded.
She put her hand to her chest and said, âIâm the same as you. If I like him, I like him. If I love him, I love him. Iâll never hide it.â She tilted her head and looked at Wei Xin, regretfully saying, âI used to think that I would love Fang Mu until I was old, but he let me down. I then thought that I wouldnât be moved again.â
She rubbed her chest harder. âHowever, I had thought too highly of myself. I have no self-control.â With a smile, Qiao Jiusheng resigned herself to fate. âI might be in love again.â Of course, she could tell Wei Xin this straightforwardly, but not to Fang Yusheng.
