Capítulo 1636: Chapter 1637: If I Had Known, I Would Have Co Down Earlier
She slung her handbag over her shoulder, t his gaze again, and said, “I wasn’t familiar with Miss Chu, so I felt a bit awkward attending her birthday party uninvited. I originally planned to wait for Mrs. Jiang to co out and give the gift to her, so she could pass it on to Miss Chu for . But without waiting long, I first bumped into Boss Qin.”
“Could I trouble you to help give the gift to Miss Chu?”
Qin Jun accepted the item and raised an eyebrow at her, “If I agree to help you deliver it, are you going to leave?”
Rong Yan replied candidly, “Yes. As I ntioned earlier, I’m not familiar with Miss Chu, not even friends really, so attending her birthday party uninvited might not sit well with her. I think it’s better not to stick around and make things awkward. By the way, Boss Qin, if you happen to see Mrs. Jiang later, could you also let her know that I ca by?”
Earlier, she thought if nothing else worked out, she would attend the birthday party with Li Shengxiao, but since she found soone to deliver the gift, there was no need to join the crowd.
Coincidentally, Li Shengxiao hadn’t arrived yet, so after she settled this, she planned to wait for him outside, so he wouldn’t have to co in.
While they were talking, Qin Jun had already spotted Jiang Chenyue. He looked past her with a complex expression and said in a deep voice, “No need for to tell her; your aunt is here, you can tell her yourself.”
“Oh.” Rong Yan instinctively turned her head in the direction he was looking.
She directly bumped into Jiang Chenyue and Chu Xi, who was by Jiang Chenyue’s side, dazzlingly dressed today.
She twitched her mouth, her temples throbbed, and she felt overwheld.
It seed the thing she least wanted to happen today was happening.
“Yan!” Jiang Chenyue’s eyes lit up as she saw her and Qin Jun, and she quickened her pace to walk over.
Chu Xi hadn’t expected to see her initially, and when she suddenly heard Jiang Chenyue call out, she looked ahead and imdiately saw Rong Yan.
At first, she was surprised, then her surprise turned to aversion and dislike, but she had to hide her true emotions and, with a complex expression, followed behind Jiang Chenyue.
“You said you had sothing to do today; I thought you wouldn’t co!” Jiang Chenyue said, genuinely delighted.
She grasped Rong Yan’s hand in a friendly manner, her face beaming.
This party was hosted in the na of the Chu Family, inviting many guests, with Jiang Chenyue, who rarely appeared dostically, inevitably becoming the focus of attention. Her deanor sparked others to curiously evaluate Rong Yan, assessing her relationship with Jiang Chenyue.
Rong Yan was already used to being the center of various gazes. She didn’t pay much attention to the looks of those around her and quietly responded, “Mrs. Jiang insisted on the phone that I co, so I ca to pay my respects.”
Jiang Chenyue patted her hand happily, “Good child. Thank you for coming.”
Just as Rong Yan was about to find an excuse to hand over the gift and leave, she heard Jiang Chenyue eagerly introduce the people beside her, “Let introduce you to each other. This is Chu Xi, my… foster daughter.”
She paused for a mont when saying “foster daughter.” Then she introduced them to each other as if to Chu Xi, “Yan, you should know her.”
The introduction seed relatively closer to Chu Xi, but the terms used indicated whom she favored more.
One was addressed by full na, the other by an affectionate nickna.
It felt as if soone slapped Chu Xi in the face—the word “foster” hit her hard, and she forced a smile, barely holding back her irritation as she extended her hand to Rong Yan, “Hello.”
At the sa ti, she whined to Jiang Chenyue, “Mom, you didn’t tell Miss Rong would co. If I knew Miss Rong was coming, I would have co down earlier.”
