Chapter 197: Chapter 197: No Comparison, No Hurt Chapter 197: Chapter 197: No Comparison, No Hurt “Aunt… Auntie, how could it be you?”
Bai Yueru frowned, looking at the woman in front of her who looked sowhat familiar yet sowhat strange, frowned again, “You are…”
“I’m Ye Xinyu, Zuo Cheng’s wife. We just t last night, Auntie.” Ye Xinyu said, kindly extending her hand to grasp Bai Yueru’s hand.
Bai Yueru uttered an “Oh” and smiled, “So you and my daughter-in-law are in the sa drama crew, that’s quite fateful.” While speaking, she had already walked past Ye Xinyu towards Ye Shu.
Behind her, a middle-aged plump woman followed, carrying a small basket.
The word “daughter-in-law,” sharp as a knife, brutally stabbed into Ye Xinyu’s heart, causing severe pain that turned her complexion ashen.
How could it be? How could Sheng Shaochen possibly marry Ye Shu?
Wasn’t Ye Shu supposed to be Sheng Shaochen’s mistress?
With an unwilling heart, Ye Xinyu lifted her gaze and saw Bai Yueru already sitting in the rest area with Ye Shu, handing her a thermos flask, all smiles, engaging in idle chat with Ye Shu.
The plump woman who ca with Bai Yueru then removed the red cloth covering the small basket and started distributing gifts to everyone present.
The gifts were unique, jade bangles from Shengyu Pavilion, the jade stone shop under the Shengshi Group.
Jade bangles had beco very popular this year in the circle, especially those from the renowned Shengyu Pavilion.
The model of jade bangle distributed was Shengyu Pavilion’s best seller and most popular one this year—nad “Flowers Bloom and Fortune,” symbolizing great wealth and extrely auspicious fortune.
It was said that only 100 were produced.
In the crew, there were over thirty notable mbers, and under Sun Nanjue’s leadership, the plump woman distributed them one by one, a much grander gesture compared to Bai Xue’s previous visit to the crew.
What’s more, everyone received a gift regardless of their status, not only conveying goodwill but also not offending anyone, a much more thoughtful approach than Bai Xue’s.
Ye Xinyu froze there, watching this scene, feeling an unusually complex mix of emotions.
In contrast to her loneliness, Ye Shu was basking in success and favor.
Ye Xinyu, heartbroken and distraught, stared enviously at Ye Shu, her eyes full of resentful moisture gathering.
Not until the plump woman approached her and said, “Miss Xinyu, this one is for you.”
Did Ye Xinyu snap out of it, gazing at the delicately crafted, approximately one million-priced “Flowers Bloom and Fortune,” feeling a suffocating bitterness lingering around her heart.
Back then, she barely managed to win over Bai Xue with a ten-million Jade Buddha, yet Ye Shu didn’t have to spend a di to please Bai Yueru, who in turn sparingly spent money to win hearts for her.
The comparison was stark!
Ye Xinyu felt as if invisible slaps were vehently stinging her cheeks, instinctively wanting to reject the jade bangle.
But, upon looking up, she saw Bai Yueru frowning at her, seemingly displeased.
Ye Xinyu hurriedly accepted the jade bangle and put it on her wrist while lavishing praise on it.
While praising, she smiled ingratiatingly in the direction of Bai Yueru.
However, Bai Yueru had already turned away, continuing to chat with Ye Shu, completely treating her as air.
Ye Xinyu stood there in imnse embarrassnt, dejectedly leaving the film set.
anwhile, Bai Yueru had already opened the thermos flask, handing it to Ye Shu, “Xiao Shu, you must be very tired from filming, here, have so soup to replenish your strength…”
As soon as she had finished speaking, Sun Nanjue arrived, drawn by the aroma, “Wow, that slls wonderful, I knew imdiately it’s the soup made by Auntie, my favorite to drink. Let have so too.”
Saying this, Sun Nanjue sat down next to Ye Shu, attempting to take the thermos flask from her hands.
