Translator: 549690339
Xing Siqing turned pale with fright, imdiately standing up, “Jin… Sister Jingyi, I’msorry, I wasn’ttalkingaboutyou.”
What rotten luck she has!
Chu Jingyi is the eldest sister among several major families in Nancheng. From childhood to adulthood, she has always been a goddess-level figure, high above, only to be admired from a distance.
Just today, Chu Jingyi happened to be wearing a red dress too, and it’s bright red, making it more vibrant than the one on Su Wenwen.
Furthermore, it’s a low-cut, high-split style that wraps her exquisite figure provocatively, so sexy it’s sinful.
In fact, this kind of dressing is quite in line with Chu Jingyi’s usual style and mature temperant, it’s just that Xing Siqing just happened to make that comnt, and now the surrounding people all have a look of expecting a good show. This made it seem like she was talking bad about Chu Jingyi.
“Sister Jingyi.” Xing Siqing was at her wits’ end, desperately trying to explain, “I was talking about SuWanwan just now, please don’t misunderstand.”
Chu Jingyi took a casual glance at Su Wanwan, then retracted her gaze, “What has she done to you?”
Seeing Chu Jingyi apparently not upset, Xing Siqing imdiately said, “Sister Jingyi, you just returned to the country and may not be aware, this Su Wanwan used to be a petty woman. She was very unruly during high school, and I don’t know what witchcraft she used to ensnare my elder brother.”
Chu Jingyi chuckled lazily, “Your elder brother is not a child, Siqing. Be careful, he might hear you saying these things.”
“Sowhat if he hears? He never liked anyway!” Xing Siqing beca angry the mont this was brought up.
Now she was forced to work at the sales departnt of Huo Yuan’s real estate company, all thanks to Huo Jingshen!
Chu Jingyi raised her delicate eyebrows, “Would you like to co over and say hello with ?”
“I don’t want to! That wench injured just a while ago. I had to stay indoors to recover for more than a month. I don’t want to see her!”
“This has happened?” Chu Jingyi was surprised.
It seems like this girl was being polite to her.
Xing Siqing hastily recounted all their past conflicts, embellishing where she could.
In the end, she said, “If only you hadn’t given up Brother in the beginning, Sister Jingyi, then my elder sister-in-law wouldn’t be that vile woman.”
Chu Jingyi laughed again, “In this world, there are many ‘what-ifs.’
We are all just mortals in this world, not gifted with foreknowledge.
Who would have known the decision made out of impulse would affect life later?
Who would have known the person that you loved crazily in your youth would turn coldhearted, and end up becoming the one you dislike the most?
Maybe this is all destiny.

anwhile, Huo Jingshen was introducing Su Wanwan to the birthday star of the day.
Old Mr. Chu was dressed in a long red robe with gold trim, twirling Buddha Beads in one hand and wearing a designer watch that his great-grandson had bought for him on his wrist. He looked extrely pleased.
But his joy was short-lived, as soon as Old Mrs. Huo walked over with Fu Ziyang, all his well-wishing friends, who had been circling around him, shifted their attention to the children.
“Wow, this boy is so handso!”
“Indeed, look at those big eyes; they hint at his cleverness.”
“He looks like an exact copy of Ashen.”
“Yes, absolutely.”
Su Wanwan couldn’t help but look over.
Huo Jingshen and Fu Ziyang were standing together, both dressed in black three-piece suits, wearing identical burgundy ties.
The two of them, one tall, one short, one adult, one child, both with expressionless faces and aloof deanors. It truly felt like they were mini versions of each other.
Su Wanwan felt that if she hadn’t heard Fu Xihan over the phone, she would have really doubted if these two were indeed father and son.
Weren’t they just too similar?
Just then, a voice echoed her sentints.
“Oh? When did big brother have a illegitimate son?”
It was Chu Xiuhuang.
Compared to all the other n at the party dressed in formal suits, the birthday star’s eldest grandson, Chu Xiuhuang, seed to be dressed too casually.
He wasn’t even wearing a jacket, just a black shirt hung loosely on his body. With three or four buttons unbuttoned, revealing a wide expanse of his chest and a sexy collarbone. His sleeves were also rolled up, and his hands were shoved into the pockets of his suit pants.
With his lips curved and his charming eyes gleaming, no one would guess that he was in the midst of a birthday party.
Indeed, when Old Mr. Chu saw his grandson’s ruffian-like appearance, his face fell instantly, “What nonsense are you spouting, you little scamp?” “Grandfather, it’s your birthday, be happy!” After that, Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow at Grandfather Chu and said, “So, what do you think? This watch looks pretty cool, right? Doesn’t the little old man think he’s quite prestigious today?”
The Tittle old man’ had hit the nail on the head, and his half-white beard trembled in agitation.
However, the surrounding old n and won imdiately began praising Chu Xiuhuang for being sensible and for bringing good fortune to Grandfather Chu.
Su Wanwan found the watch very familiar and couldn’t help but look at it a few more tis.
The more she looked at it, the more it reminded her of the one that Mo Weiyi tried to buy for Xiao Yebai last ti.
“Oh.” Chu Xiuhuang suddenly looked at her, the corner of his mouth curling into a wicked smile, “Little miss looks quite divine today!”
SuWanwan was taken aback, then smiled slightly, “Thank you.”
Chu Xiuhuang was indeed a bit dazzled.
Because every ti he saw Su Wanwan before, she was casually dressed and barely wore makeup. Combined with her youthful looks, she seed like a tender bud next to the mature and stable Huo Jingshen.
In his eyes, accustod to seeing all kinds of beauty, she was at most considered fresh and natural.
But today’s outfit made her completely unrecognizable. It shed her girlish immaturity, adding a bit of a won’s gracefulness.
