"See, what did I tell you?"
When Huo i Shu walked over, Qiao Wanzhou looked at Rong Dai and smiled.
Rong Dai also didn't expect her young sister-in-law to be so calm. Although she was too far away to hear what they were saying, just looking at her sister-in-law's behavior, she could guess a little.
"Sister-in-law, I got it!"
Huo i Shu was like a child who had just received a reward. She sat down eagerly, tightly holding her phone like a treasure.
Rong Dai saw her eyes shining and the corners of her mouth turned up in a faint smile.
"That's good that you got it."
She really hoped that her young sister-in-law could find happiness.
But love, that rare substance, cannot be sought after.
If fate cos, then perhaps it cos.
In her previous life she had exhausted all her strength seeking, but all she got in return was wounds all over her body.
So she hoped that her sister-in-law could find happiness, just as her family had wished for her back then.
The sisters-in-law had accomplished their goal, and Qiao Wanzhou had also lost interest because of Zhou Jing's matter. But they couldn't just leave in the middle of an occasion like this.
So the three won sat in the corner, watching the different kinds of people around them.
Rong Dai and Qiao Wanzhou's minds were not focused on this. They simply chatted about their characters in the drama since they both had many scenes left.
Huo i Shu held her phone by herself, smiling foolishly as she browsed Gu Chengyan's Monts page.
From ti to ti she would say: "He really is my idol, he looks so good and artistic in every photo he takes..."
She was just short of calling him a god.
Rong Dai and Qiao Wanzhou were both very speechless. Although Rong Dai was only twenty-two now, her body housed a mature ancient soul.
Qiao Wanzhou was even more of a modern, intelligent woman.
The two of them watching Huo i Shu smile foolishly from ti to ti could only choose to tune her out.
Because all the big shot celebrities were here, most people were socializing. Only the three won sat in the corner, adopting the stance of onlookers.
"Rong Dai, I've always admired you, but you've always kept your distance from . Do you feel that I'm not sincere enough, and can't be your friend?"
After the two finished discussing the script, they had each finished a glass of red wine and champagne.
Qiao Wanzhou's cheeks were slightly flushed. She looked at Rong Dai with a bit of blurriness and hurt in her eyes.
Rong Dai was actually quite surprised that she would ask this. Although she also wanted to have friends, friendship was not sothing that could be forced.
Qiao Wanzhou was excellent. Having excellent people as friends was a good thing.
But she didn't have the desire to beco friends with Qiao Wanzhou. The other party's thoughts were too intricate, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to keep up.
"Miss Qiao, you are very accomplished. I don't think anyone would be unwilling to be friends with you," she replied with a faint smile.
She was a little unclear why Qiao Wanzhou was so insistent on becoming friends with her.
"Don't try to fool with this kind of perfunctory official language. Do you feel that I'm too worldly and slick, so dealing with soone like would an getting plotted against?"
Qiao Wanzhou tossed her beautiful hair and looked at her with piercing eyes.
Rong Dai shook her head with a faint smile, "Miss Qiao, you misunderstood. For , friendship cannot be forced."
"I see."
Hearing her say this, Qiao Wanzhou smiled.
This Rong Dai really was different.
If it were anyone else who had received the olive branch she extended, they would have started fawning over her long ago.
But after asking Rong Dai two or three tis, her attitude remained indifferent.
She had her own pride, of course she wouldn't keep groveling like this either.
The two won were exceptionally intelligent. So things could be understood with just a hint.
"i Shu, can I talk to you for a bit?"
Just as Rong Dai finished speaking with Qiao Wanzhou, Ye Liyun walked over and looked at Huo i Shu, who was still browsing Gu Chengyan's Monts page, asking carefully and fawningly.
The two looked over at the sa ti.
Ye Liyun beca nervous. Her face was stiff as she smiled awkwardly.
Huo i Shu turned off her phone screen and also smiled back at Ye Liyun.
This was sothing she had learned from her sister-in-law - even when facing an enemy, one had to remain calm and graceful, with a smiling face, so as not to let the other party see through her thoughts.
"Liyun, why aren't you accompanying Senior Gu? What do you want to talk to about? Just say it here."
"This is my sister-in-law, and this is my sister Qiao. They aren't outsiders."
Rong Dai and Qiao Wanzhou had not expected Huo i Shu to turn the tables on Ye Liyun like this. The two won both had life experience.
With one look, it was clear this Ye Liyun was not a good sort.
If Huo i Shu had just gone with her, there was probably a trap waiting for her.
Ye Liyun had not anticipated Huo i Shu would say this. She subconsciously clenched her handbag, glancing awkwardly at Rong Dai and Qiao Wanzhou.
"i Shu, it's a private matter. I'm afraid it might make Mrs. Huo and Miss Qiao uncomfortable. We're close friends, so it's fine to talk to you about it."
"It's no problem at all. I'm old enough that there's nothing that would make uncomfortable," Qiao Wanzhou said gently and sexily, directly cutting off Ye Liyun's intentions.
Ye Liyun's face turned pale as she looked pleadingly at Huo i Shu.
How could this Huo i Shu have beco so clever?
In the past, whatever she said, Huo i Shu would believe it.
It was just a song she borrowed, what was the big deal? Yet she made such a fuss about it in front of Senior Gu, how embarrassing!
Of course she couldn't swallow this anger!
"Then...I'll tell you when you're back in Shengjing. I thought you'd care a lot about Senior Gu's matters."
Ye Liyun played her trump card.
In that instant, Huo i Shu was taken aback.
"Tsk, no one's cared about that silly Gu Chengyan in eight hundred years. i Shu, if you want to know anything about him you can just ask . I even know what age he was still wetting the bed."
Qiao Wanzhou was in a bad mood. Coming across nauseating things like this, of course she had to retaliate. Ye Liyun could only bla her own bad luck.
It was common knowledge in Shengjing that the Qiao family and Gu family were tied by marriage.
So these words coming from Qiao Wanzhou's mouth were completely appropriate.
Rong Dai saw that Ye Liyun's face was pale and stiff, and could only sigh silently for her in her heart.
What bad timing to co cause trouble, right in front of her and Qiao Wanzhou.
"Miss Ye, since my sister-in-law is your close friend, she must have told you about her troubles."
"Thank you for caring so much about our i Shu's matters, but plotting in the shadows like this, I'd advise Miss Ye to be more careful, in case you drown yourself."
"My sister-in-law is kindhearted and doesn't like to keep score, but I'm different."
"If you've read the news in Shengjing, you'd know I'm not soone to cross lightly."
"My sister-in-law is kind, but I'm a bit more vicious."
Rong Dai's delicate and beautiful face revealed a gentle smile, but the coldness and authority in her eyes were very clear.
Although her voice was crisp and bright when she spoke, the chill it contained made one shiver.
She was part of the Huo family. For Shaolin, for the Huo family, she could play the villain.
It was hard to be a good person, but being bad was much easier.
In this life, she would no longer weigh each person's thoughts. She would only protect those she wanted to protect.
